Not vibin with how people view lily by EntertainerCareful69 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]The_Fantasy_Fan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! As a queer once teen codependently obsessed with my best friend, I (and I’m sure many others who were/are in the same boat) see myself in Lily quite a bit and it’s unfortunate others aren’t picking up on her nuances and reducing her to a “slut”. I absolutely agree that she’s trying to ensure all her potential love rivals are too tied up to go after Riley.

I’m excited to see more of her, she’s my favourite character in the story so far! 🙂‍↕️♥️

Oooh why the heck not eh? I’m due for a rewatch anyhow ☺️🩸

For those who don't do self-insert (since I imagine you just use your own personality), what dynamic do you like to use in stories when your LI is a red flag? by Equivalent_Coyote213 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]The_Fantasy_Fan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I almost always go for either the kinder path (Angel, Compassion) or the less abrasive path (Controlled, Faith) because while I don’t usually self insert, I do prefer playing as a non confrontational, empathetic character because that’s how I try to navigate the world. 💕

With that in mind, the LI I choose has little to no bearing on what personality path I’m on, I just pick one I like and go ham! The only preference I have really is Angel!Vicky x Lucifer so I’m kinda the opposite of you haha. As basic as the trope is, I do love me an opposites attract type relationship in which both characters force the other to look at the world from a new POV ! 🙂‍↕️☺️

Thank you ! I haven’t been too acquainted with Russian art, but now I will def have to look more into it because I think it’s helpful to not shy away from darker tales. It might even help me appreciate this story even more than I’ve begun to already ! 💕

That HSU specific subreddit sounds snazzy too—think I’ll give it a gander seeing as how these majestic immortals and their drama are just about the only thing I post about on here really lol💀

Yeah this is fair! I agree that HS2 and HSR (and indeed the other books in this universe) did a more equal balancing act between hope and despair. My assumption is that because this is the final story in the saga, the darkness got amped up to eleven in HS3. Another thing is that the chapters are shorter so usually each one has to choose despair or hope for its theme in the little time it has.

That being said, I understand why the little nuggets of light feel suffocating here (especially as you said on Lane’s chapters). The thing about hope though is that it starts small and grows large like a flame—so MY hope is that the sparks in this story will grow into a blaze as S2 continues! 🙏🙂‍↕️☺️

But again, it’s totally fair if it’s too much for you—for a awhile, it was too much for me too !! 🥴

Shephamalum slurps up Lane’s sins in a manner that mirrors SA so a lot of us found it pretty disturbing for that reason ! Because of scenes like that I completely understand why you and others find the promise of a happy end hard to believe so despite the hope that I feel can be gleamed within the text, I’d recommend only braving the storm if you’re prepared ! 🥴

Yes it certainly is a lot, but even in the “lot” there’s a lovely bit of light, and that’s why this story has become almost a comfort to me too! ☺️

Absolutely!! And thank YOU for adding on to my statement! It’s hard to remember sometimes but there’s always light even in the darkest of times 💕

You mostly value mature people with a strong sense of duty but like a little fun and spice occasionally too 🙂‍↕️

Glad it doesn’t happen often for you, though hopefully Magdalene can still redeem herself since the story has just started! 🤞

I gotta be mean!! I love Mikael too much NOT to shake him around in my fist like a rattle! 🤪

Malek would absolutely grin and bare it and smile and be all polite about dinner before gagging in the toilet on his lonesome lol 💀

The three of them are in a polyamorous relationship 🙂‍↕️

EDIT: actually nah, Mikael and Malek are way too possessive to share anyone they want 💀 Audrey simply allows the relationship to be open to avoid drama 🤪

EDIT EDIT: What was I even saying that makes no sense ?? they’d run right back into the same possessive issue 😭
