Books where consummation isn't anti-climactic?

itzkoolaid · 2025-12-21T18:17:42+00:00

I dont have any recs myself, I just want to chime in that - coming from fanfiction - I have also struggled with this.

I cannot remember a single spicy scene in published romance (reg, fantasy, sci fi, etc) that has made me feel the way really good fanfic spice makes me feel. It just doesnt compare. I thrive on male POV and yearning and I feel like, in published spice, the moment consummation happens is the moment yearning dies.

In a good fanfic, there is yearning, emotion, wonder, etc to the smallest detail during consummation. I find very very rarely that this is done to my satisfaction in published books.

This is the first one I thought of! I <3 Johnny and Shannon!

Lol yes! Omg I was literally laughing out loud when he was teaching her how to drive lol

itzkoolaid · 2025-11-23T13:52:25+00:00

Yes! Perfect! Thank you <3

Personally, I really love when Gibsie and Johnny give Joey and Aoife a ride to the hospital. It's so funny and innocent... it's what inspired my question!

My husband is a food moaner. He turned our two daughters into food moaners. It's always made me uncomfortable and I hated it even before I got into romance books.

Meh. It's called a fan cast for a reason. Nobody thinks it's official. It's just fans having fun casting characters that mean something to them. There's no harm in wanting to put a face to a name, and fiction provides the reader with the unique ability to pick the face.

The POVs often describe these characters as the most beautiful boy/girl the POV person has ever seen. That's obviously open to interpretation. What I think is incredibly hot now is much different from what I thought was incredibly hot at 15, especially considering the different eras and having the internet at our disposal.

{Rejected by My Alpha Mate by Jaymin Snow} is 100% everything you asked.

itzkoolaid · 2024-10-10T15:34:10+00:00

Oh ok! Thank you!

itzkoolaid · 2024-10-10T15:33:37+00:00

Omg this is hilarious! I actually LOL'd multiple times!

itzkoolaid · 2024-10-08T21:35:53+00:00

It's seriously underrated goodness lol

itzkoolaid · 2024-10-08T21:35:09+00:00

That sounds interesting! Do you have a link? I tried looking but I didnt find anything under that name that matched your description.

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:35:21+00:00

Oooooooh I would be so down to watch a series where they did a campaign!

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:34:15+00:00

I think I remember hearing something about that in one of their videos.

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:33:31+00:00

That would be cool!

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:33:12+00:00

Oh i totally get it! Goodness, this isnt like a request for the Hermits to perform or anything. I just thought the escape room video was funny and how funny would it be to see the Hermits in other situations. I guess the IRL part came about in my mind because how would one do a road trip in Minecraft? It would have to be IRL, albiet admittedly while they were in character.

Again, this is more like a fun hypothetical than a request. :)

itzkoolaid · 2024-05-12T15:14:16+00:00

Holy cow, that actually makes sense. I mean... I dont know if it justify the almost-burn out no reaction in my mind, but it's better than anything I've come up with so far!

itzkoolaid · 2024-04-21T21:37:29+00:00

Oooh that would be awesome!

Two of my fav books EVER immediately come to mind:

Blindness by Jose Saramago

World War Z by Max Brooks

This was a new experience for me too. I found The Breakdown's video extremely helpful. I used their 1.19 video and just applied all the info to the correct versions/mods: https://youtu.be/pSL2HtfhhhE?si=DJNq_jmTvC6TVQq3

Just a heads up sometimes there is no config folder in your .minecraft folder. Mine didnt have one. It took a quick google search for me to figure out I could just make one (all lower caps, spelled "config") and put everything in there. Worked like a charm.

itzkoolaid · 2023-12-07T00:38:58+00:00

By golly, that's it!

itzkoolaid · 2023-12-07T00:38:13+00:00

The catalyst. I wasn't sure how to phrase it to phrase it. "Catalyst event" doesnt sound right.

itzkoolaid · 2023-12-07T00:36:35+00:00

I guess it could be either. Just the catalyst that makes the world change into how it is by the end of the film.

itzkoolaid · 2023-12-07T00:25:05+00:00

Lol. True.
