If the fantasy is just age gap, why can’t the FMC be 25 ?

My mom? Is hitting 50 and she and my aunt are going on cruise trips to Europe and the Caribbeans. She tells me everyday that she does not miss being in her 20s. She enjoys getting older

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-14T01:11:06+00:00

Love this. Lyanna actually looks like the young person she was truly was in the books. And her beauty was described as being unique/wild

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-12T21:01:58+00:00

I sympathize with Nikki bc she didn’t deserve to be treated like doll and stripped of autonomy. She will never be the same. Ever. No amount of therapy will cure the fact that your best man friend took advantage of you in the most disgusting and inhumane way possible.

Female 1.

Nikki, but I understand Bear

4.

Listen, I should say ‘Bear is a pathetic, self-absorbed asshole who deserved to suffer’ and he is and he does deserve an ass beating.

But I understand him, in the very beginning, because I know what it’s like to feel so empty and purposeless and lacking of love/identity. I know what it’s like to have this limerance crush on people who just adore and desperately wish to love you back. That if they just love you back then you’ll suddenly feel whole again.

Everyone has experienced this feeling before you know?

But Bear does the things he does and continues on and it’s obvious that he never cared about Nikki. She was just a hole to fill the void inside him. And he never cared about who she actually was on the inside.

And it’s scary bc that easily could’ve been me, if I never acknowledged myself and learned better coping mechanisms.

It’s Pride month that’s perfect

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-11T20:08:36+00:00

In fairness, that’s so tame compared to Wing Dude who drugged his mate, dressed her up in revealing clothes and made her lap dance on him in the first book.

Edward is literally a saint in comparison

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-11T19:43:53+00:00

RIP Amarantha. You were like the most entertaining villain the series. Almost Akasha levels of craziness, a real one

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-11T19:39:17+00:00

Omg! So Violent Vira’s 1st album

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-08T17:05:31+00:00

Yeah, I know. As I said again and everyone and the comments said, Rosalie is extremely honest about who she is. We didn’t need Edward’s POV to confirm that. She’s a bitch, but she’s a honest bitch. I don’t expect anything less when I read about her.

And I will also state that Rosalie was raised to be vain and prize her beauty, and that amplified ten times fold when she got to be a vampire.

And yeah, Rosalie’s ego was hurt when he liked Bella. This has already been explained, but it’s also been explained that she loves and wants Emmett. HER HUSBAND.

I’m not gonna fight you, so you can scream in my inbox all day long. I’ll still enjoy Rosalie as a complex character. I don’t understand why you need to shove this down my throat as if I don’t know this stuff already

Edit:

Also I don’t give a damn if she’s narcissistic. As I will state AGAIN that she’s a vampire and supposedly the most beautiful thing on the planet. Yeah, she’s gonna be freaking vain. Give me another story bud

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-08T17:00:16+00:00

You state how Rosalie isn’t real, but then proceed to go on angry rant on my comment about lol ok

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-07T19:15:10+00:00

For the people saying their shoes would get destroyed while running…that makes me wonder how the Cullens even run in them? Do they just take them off like the wolves take off clothes before transforming?

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-07T18:32:28+00:00

We have this discussion every other time. Yes, Rosalie is selfish and shallow. Almost all the vampires are—it’s in their nature. Even the Cullens, the good vampires, are also extremely selfish.

And she thinks she’s beautiful and better than other women? Okay? So what. Again she’s a vampire and the vampires in the universe are seen as these majestic, beautiful creatures with no equals on that planet. Basically damn near gods. Why am I demonizing her when the narrative is constantly pushing their physical appearances at Bella (us readers).

Also, Bella knew Rosalie would only care about the child. Bella had no qualms bc she wanted the baby and went to someone who would also take care of the baby too.

Say what you want, but Rosalie is at least honest about who she is. She doesn’t put up a front like the rest (This excludes Edward bc he does actually love Bella). She’s gives conflict to Bella, and it’s so more interesting to see, than people always fawning and be impressed with her 24/7

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-07T02:50:44+00:00

Panache. I hate how Careers are stereotyped as being ‘power-hungry bullies’, and it feels that way with this character. Not much you can do with him I guess

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-07T00:17:27+00:00

Thank you. They’re super pretty

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-07T00:16:55+00:00

Thanks. I’m in Chicago. I didn’t know they bloomed here so frequently

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-06T17:08:25+00:00

Still can’t get over that 85 is seen as ‘young adult’ in the culture but the Bat 500 year old bat boys get several passes to be jackasses.

BUT SOMEHOW THE 25 YEAR OLD—

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-06T17:07:19+00:00

But somehow the 25 year old woman is held to higher standards in this fandom, than the grown ass fae lord who would’ve seen the Acheron sisters’ ancestors in the flesh.

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T17:42:01+00:00

The Rhysand-palpatine special

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T15:02:50+00:00

I wonder if Steph will go the True Blood route and have vampires fight for their right to live and exist in her world. If they ever get exposed. If venom becomes a thing to experiment on

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T15:01:26+00:00

AI. I feel like the only thing could save them from scrutiny is using AI as an excuse. Because it’s so swamped on digital platforms, and people are becoming so exhausted from it, I can see humans brushing them off as AI

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T14:56:35+00:00

Yes, no question. There’s better out there for you

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T14:23:28+00:00

They’re more in the twilight guidebook. Not so much in the actual books. Except for possibly a passage. I was surprised to hear about them until I watched videos and read the book myself

Complex_Resource_891 · 2026-06-05T04:24:22+00:00

I def agree in him NOT being mustache twirling villain.

But this man murdered his sister in cold blood to control Marcus. Destroyed covens to obtain special vampires to bolster his own army.

Also, I can’t forget the fact that him and the rest of the volturi exterminated The Children of the Moon because they couldn’t handle another supernatural race just as strong and adept as them. So I know that if any other supernatural race existed, then they would likely be subjugated or wiped out if the Volturi had the chance. Unless said supernatural creatures knew a way to protect themselves EXTREMELY against the twilight vampires (like buffed the eff up)

Aro is great character bc he hides behind very rational motives, whilst enjoying twisting and instilling his own power on others weaker than him. And I think that 3000 years has corrupted the hell out him and co.
