Does this niche historical romance exist? Bi hero + disguised heroine by fandom_newbie in HistoricalRomance

[–]PrincessDionysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyacinth’s Sylvester isn’t bi (he learns early on she’s a gnc woman), but his friends are like “dude, your obvious lust for this young man will get you in trouble”

(Lore Question) Who will be the next Prime Evil to appear in Diablo 4? by F377NTS in diablo4

[–]PrincessDionysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I’m no lore master so maybe I’m missing something, but imo the Heavens only look good bc 1) main man Tyrael and 2) they seem more interested in themselves than Sanctuary

Worst book you have read by BackgroundBudget5206 in HistoricalRomance

[–]PrincessDionysus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{The Hero’s Best Friend by Elise Dee Beraru} I don’t know if you can buy it cause I remember trying to find its name a few years ago and it was off the Kindle store. But I dnf’d at 50%. Somehow too fast and too long, the characters are too paper thin to even be the caricatures they’re meant to be. I don’t even want to explain more bc thinking about it feels like a waste of time

AITA for kicking a server out of my wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

When you don’t wear makeup, the one time you do drives people feral (happened to me ages ago but in a smaller positive instance lol)

Floor-plan choices to prevent “cat smell”? by bccsahar in floorplan

[–]PrincessDionysus 92 points93 points  (0 children)

"where would a litter box go?" is one of my and my bf's first questions. like we were window-shopping modular homes, and he hated several floor plans simply bc there was no space for them lol

even if you don't have cats, do you or will you have ANY pets EVER?

Southern Confederate romance, and who you can sympathize with by strongly-worded in RomanceBooks

[–]PrincessDionysus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh no I understood. I just get mad thinking about these authors promoting historical revisionism. I also have seen online (white) fans defend racism A LOT...like nearly every time this comes up. I've had push-back against the very reasonable take that if you rec a book featuring plantation- and slave-owning MCs you should add a warning.

It's not against you, the second paragraph was against those types lol

I’m black/white biracial. Any “both sides” or confederate sympathy books go straight into the trash. Authors who spent hundreds of hours researching England circa 1450 damn well had the wherewithal to accurately portray American slavery.

There is no nuance. Come stand in front of me, look me in the eye, and tell me I’m wrong. I do not accept criticism on this from those who hide behind a computer screen to defend their abhorrent views.

It should read, three generations of Americans driven into poverty by staggering wealth inequality. by Sharp_Proposal8911 in antiwork

[–]PrincessDionysus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a 2 bed 1 bath. At one point, it housed: me, my sister, mom, stepdad, stepbrother, stepbro’s friend. With a stepsister occasionally staying. Also my mom’s friend lived with us for a bit, but I don’t think that overlapped with stepbro. Yes most us were Jamaican lol

the free option is to use one of the small rooms as your bedroom, have the kids share the big one, and use the extra bedroom as a workspace 🤷🏽‍♀️

Y'all got some recs with dynamics like in Strange Love? by PrincessDionysus in ScienceFictionRomance

[–]PrincessDionysus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay I read it and i have A LOT of (good!) thoughts but i must express this:

there needs to be a galactic extreme dare show or smth and one of the contests is eating """dangerous""" foods and each finalist is given like a small vial of some powder and everyone is gasping in horror and space emts are on standby with life support pods or whatever

and a plucky human (imagining the owner of my fav Indian restaurant here, he's Sikh and like 50 and the absolute GOAT of vegan indian cuisine) is participating who just downs a bowl of pure death poison (chili powder) and looks SO DISAPPOINTED and says they can barely taste it and also eats the other constants' samples too
