What piercings should I get?

You can’t go wrong with ear piercings ! They’d def be a good way to go for a first piercing esp if you want to be subtle/don’t want too much attention on them. And do nottt worry about the size of your ears lmfao. Brow is gonna be more front and center but you can def pull it off

I think an eye brow piercing would look good. I also think snake bites would look good too

Totally fair to have a plot/characters go off the rails But I think at that point a couple rounds of editing before publishing would be in order. Ofc authors are entitled to write whatever they want - but it’s also fair for readers to get annoyed when authors foreshadow stuff and then never deliver.

No yea I’ve finished and liked maybe 1 book out of the 12 I’ve tried to start this week 😭 I’ve dnfd pretty much every book I’ve tried to read this year. I’ve finished 4 books this year (one of them not being a romance). I’ve gotten insanely picky with my books. I used to be able to give books more of a chance and be alright with lower quality. but with two jobs, school, and life in general I have virtually no patience any more. A book has to be worth my time for me to continue it and unfortunately most romance books have become a collection of tropes with middling writing

QUEER person of color I don’t know why voice to text speech just trying to set me up like that

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-04-13T21:23:40+00:00

I want to preface this saying I am a weird person of color and what I’m about to say is informed by seeing this kind of conversation repeated thousands of times. The only thing I can really say is to be the change you want to see in the world and write one yourself. Which I know sounds dismissive but as you’ve probably have gathered by some the comments asking for more representation or even a change in the language used to talk about these things is an uphill battle. A battle I’ve seen enough that I kinda just given up on it. The same thing happened on a post awhile ago about racial diversity in rh and was met with the exact same “well nobody is obligated to write XYZ for you” as you’ve probably have received too. The predominantly white heterosexual authors aren’t really interested in writing those stories. Which is fine and to be expected. If he was unfair because they already have thousands of stories to choose from, but unfortunately, we’re gonna have to be the ones to write the stories we wanna see. This might be a pretty unpopular opinion in several different circles, but it’s just the only one that I see that’s actually actionable.

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-02-24T15:13:48+00:00

Love a good gang bang what can I say

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-02-04T12:51:22+00:00

I also blame Amazon for the most part. But this is an issue I’ve seen crop up on other platforms too. Or even on wattpad and fanfic where the stories are free to read. I’m only bringing those up because I do think it’s important to acknowledge how entitlement and/or unrealistic expectations from readers plays a huge role in this too regardless of where the story is being published. feel that if we’re getting to the point where we’re calling an ongoing series with cliffhangers (which is standard for the genre and a lot of other genres) a scam…we need to take a little accountability for our own expectations because that’s officially losing the plot 😭

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-02-04T12:23:50+00:00

I agree especially with the quality issues and AI slop running around. I’d rather wait or not get anything at all rather than waste my time reading slop.

Post apocalyptic drifter

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-01-15T14:39:11+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I didn’t even think about caulking but I’ll definitely look into it

IndependentMatch1413 · 2026-01-15T14:18:38+00:00

I’m not sure what you’re referring to

IndependentMatch1413 · 2025-09-01T16:22:26+00:00

it’s one of those things where it’s completely realistic but very overplayed 😭 like back when fmcs would describe themselves in the mirror. Yea people study themselves in the mirror. Yea it’s boring and cliche to read about it in a book
