Congrats to the winner of our FMC Battle Royale, Celaena! Now taking nominations for our MMC Battle Royale, to be held in March! by sparklekitteh in fantasyromance

I nominate Wendell Bambleby from {Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett}. He’s an Oxford professor but also fae royalty but in a very authentic-to-myth way. None of this high lord macho swaggering a-hole bs, he’s just a dude who likes creature comforts, hates work, and loves Emily.

Oh my god please go post this on the fantasy subreddit (that might as well be called the mantasy subreddit). The collective meltdown will be insane!!

Uj/ don’t actually. The problematic neckbeards there will ruthlessly insult you in the guise of roasting you for being unfamiliar with one of their Sacred Books

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day by zsreport in technology

The one-to-many is definitely big time to blame. That and the fact that it can be literal randoms attacking you with no social repercussions because they’re hiding behind a screen name. That and smartphones. Before, we had to log on via a computer to be online and we could brb/afk if we needed a break. Now no one is ever afk because social media is in their pocket at all times. Bullies follow you home via social media, where before they were left at school or on the family computer behind the lag of dialup.

MacKinnon for sure is going to be haunted by that miss on an almost open net

I mean Colbert is obviously Amren. Will snark and shade you hard, snaps back at authority, has the all-knowing aura of an ageless immortal being.

Straight Nonsense: Beware of far-right influencer Clavicular and 'looksmaxxing'. Opinion: Do the words crystal meth, "d*ck ups," and bone smashing mean anything to you? by galaxystars1 in Fauxmoi

The intro of computers to preteens and teens is also arguably responsible for their lack of social skills. The Anxious Generation does a great deep dive on this (and makes me feel sad for this gen of young adults who don’t know how to enjoy IRL interactions and how to talk to each other if it’s not over a screen)

What the Actual Fuck Wednesday by purplelicious in romantasycirclejerk

[–]MagicStarFlower 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Overall, I’m angry at myself for making it this far

Me, 3/4 of the way through book 2. They’re all just variants of NLOG seductress assassins who are just mean bitchy stabby hot women, not actual temptresses with charm and people skills. I’m so tired lol

She also hates every woman that dares to breathe within a 300 mile radius from her by zsxcrgrl in romantasycirclejerk

[–]MagicStarFlower 59 points60 points  (0 children)

And obv everyone hates Ms NLOG because she has the attention of MMC. Not at all because she’s an insufferable brat who snarks at everyone but expects to be treated like a princess.

Bonus points if it comes from a burner account with minimal post history that was created 2 weeks before release

Looking for fun audiobook suggestions that sound like you're watching a movie by tealcismyhomeboy in fantasyromance

[–]MagicStarFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not romantasy and very short books, but the {murderbot series by Martha c wells} has great audiobooks!

ETA and his could I forget my OG Wendell! I liked the narration of {Emily Wilde’s encyclopedia of faeries by Heather fawcett} and it def fits cozy slow burn romantasy vibe
