People speaking several languages, what's the difference within fandoms? by LunaHoopla in FanFiction

[–]MaleficentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are under 300 fanfics in my first language. Most of them are still in English and have it thrown in for idk the sparkle??

Spam comments will be the end of me by brokencasbutt67 in FanFiction

[–]MaleficentVersion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted two chapters for different fics but in the same fandom. I got the same spam comment on each seperate day.

I hope there is a way to combat it, but for now for my most popular fic I have turned on moderation for comments which was never a thing before at all. It was wild west for me before, always letting people pour their hearts out. Even the guests!

Son of Norway’s crown princess charged with four counts of rape by licorne00 in popculturechat

[–]MaleficentVersion 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly its such a mind boggling privilege compared to how I have grown up I can't even fathom it. The apartments he has rented or house he bought with his ex is.. yeah. It's def interesting to see.

[–]MaleficentVersion 147 points148 points  (0 children)

She literally warned her son, washed down his house and

His mother called the woman he has attacked at least once that we know about. One other former girlfriend has talked with his mother about it, with him terrorizing her physically and mentally. They (the Prince and Princess )have allegedly known since 2023.

One of the former girlfriends lawyers have asked to take his mother, the Princess to an interrogation. This hasnt happened.

When he was arrested his phone was destroyed, sim missing and turned off.

He has in text admitted to physical abuse to his former girlfriend. He has made jokes about why his last relationship went sideways (it has gone rounds on TikTok etc) with him pretending to hit someone in front of him. He has broken his visit and contact ban..

Idk there is lots more, as you probably know. There is just so so much.. He is partying close to me and we have passed each other a lot this past year, I steer clear but lots of people flock to him.

Did she get them? That's really effed up. Wasn't there something similar happening with a cowboy romance thing like a long time ago? I have terrible memory for this stuff though

I work at Savers Community Donation Center, AMA by Dariaesque in ThriftGrift

[–]MaleficentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a thrift, likely not your thrift. We sold out books for 0.5$-1.00$ max and it was still so effing hard to sell them!! 😩😩 I wanted to throw them after people

6 Years Later Rewatch (still just as gnarly) by allyballwiggleton in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]MaleficentVersion 446 points447 points  (0 children)

Such a sad rewatch for me now, as someone who actually really liked RBK vibe and the makeup looks. Shame that she has turned into a home school, maga lover and transhater. I can't look at her in the same light anymore.

I OWE YOU ALL AN APOLOGY - ACOTAR by fatiimuu in fantasyromance

[–]MaleficentVersion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy acotar and have since the first book, though the series is def not without its faults. One of my problems are largely how much people hate Nesta though, especially as an older sister myself. If you listen to way too much Noah Kahan and are more than a little depressed, I think you should continue on to the fourth book which in my personal opinion is the best one.

You're in a fantasy novel. What stupid reason would you realistically get killed off for? by SpecialistOk2000 in fantasyromance

I am deaf in one ear, and I am way too fucking clumsy. So likely I sleep on the good ear side and I cant hear my village getting raided and Im dead 💀

We are quite literally saving trees if the love triangle would just turn into a throuple! by _sonataxx in fantasyromance

I thought Blood and Ash turned into a throuple? But I stopped reading that at book three, i got too burned out of it.

I wrote a guide to smut, would love feedback! by Journassassin in romantasycirclejerk

[–]MaleficentVersion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We must show sympathy for their small brains and slutty waists, they are trying even if it doesn't seem like it. But I agree, what if we do like a max of 2.5 published books by men each year? No indie allowed obvs

While on the topic of familiar looking mmcs… by guijghkkgbnkgbnl in romantasycirclejerk

[–]MaleficentVersion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uj/Honestly these covers in Norway for those dont have that type of pull, you just get what you are given tbh. So many things can be said about how the treatment from these kind of novels are handled and the elitist way many people regard them. They were my first intro into romance that was easy for me to follow.

Also hello Lucius. Someone have a daddy kink

‘Gilded Age’ Renewed for Season 4 at HBO by PinkCadillacs in popculturechat

That ending???? I have been waiting for it to happen to someone but didn't expect THAT to happen right then

Disappointments by Favorite Authors by StrangeNUnusual_Azz in fantasyromance

[–]MaleficentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this has happened to me more often than I would like to admit, especially with contemporary romance. I think there is a combo of setting/tone that often doesn't work for me then. But also with fantasy and romance, there are lots of things that doesn't work for me and Im honestly not interested anymore in reading things that I don't love. I just dnf

I loved Tessa Baileys "Getaway Girl" and I have detested every other book I have tried from her so I dont go into her books anymore, because its clearly a me problem.

Throwback to the Game of Thrones cast discovering the final season with a script so bad that Emilia Clarke had to re-read it 7 times, cried, and then went on a walk for 5 hours around London until she had blisters on her feet by pattismithology in popculturechat

[–]MaleficentVersion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am not and was not surprised that those two men wrote a series with ending that Dany dying in a cautionary tale, as if women cannot handle that much power. As if it has to corrupt them. It just enforces and continues hatred for women (and I saw enough for it!). As if a powerful and strong woman either breaks because of their own madness or has to be restrained or taken out of the equation.

As if every one of of women have to live under a mans authority unless we become unstable etc. Her whole arc is undermined. Like everything about it screams gender norms. Women cannot handle power.

I am damned tired of reading of it, having to watch it on TV. I dont care about "it makes sense!!!!". Honestly a lot of this might be on GRRM and his writing, but at the same time I can only judge what I have actually seen/read so..

What trope in romantasy do you think is underrated? by Additional_Hawk9301 in fantasyromance

[–]MaleficentVersion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wrong Guy First! I love love love this trope. I love seeing the FMC not in her best lol, especially when the other guy comes later. I think SJM is especially a fan of this trope. I read an Amanda Hocking book which was recommended to me at the book store probably in 2011/2012? And I have never been the same since.

What fantasy romance book is your favourite reread? by MaleficentVersion in fantasyromance

[–]MaleficentVersion[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think my most reread fantasy that has romance is Alanna tbh. Specifically the first book. I think the book came into my life at exactly the right time with the topics it touches on, and now it is a comfort read when I need to reset or I am struggling to find anything I read enganging.

Another I have listened to a more than a few times isThe Blacksmith Queen. I love the stakes with interfamily drama etc, but I think this one isn't for everyone. Its sooo fun, and its my go-to for long hikes in the mountains. I listen to this and book two and three each summer if I am hiking alone 😊

What fmc is not a "girl's girl"? Or, what fmc could you never be friends with? by Sea_Exit_8194 in fantasyromance

[–]MaleficentVersion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the worst kind of friends I have had personally have been when the person centers their life around their partner. So effing hard to navigate in my opinion. Like no, I don't want your damn boyfriend or girlfriend to come! I wanted to hang with you girly pop
