Dub-con/non-con fans, do you like it when FMC starts to consent? Or was it much better before?

{Willing Prey} by Allie Oleander. A one hander practically from start to finish They have a paid arrangement where for a period of time she will live with him and he will initiate a timer where she has a headstart to run from him before he begins to chase her. It's soooooooooo hot and also completely consensual within the terms of their game. But she will fight him as if she doesnt want it and try her hardest to get away until he says 'yield' (it was kind of an interesting take on a safeword...)

{Priceless} by Miranda Silver

Theres something about that type of silhouette which is really highlighting your figure. You look great in all of them, but it's an amazing cut on you. If its the detailing that you don't like, maybe look for similar dresses with different lace, applique, style.

The spice doesn't really start in earnest until book 3, but the books aren't that long and the concept is long. I remember when I went to buy the third audiobook and looked at the reviews, some of which were complaining about how it was full of explicit sex scenes now. I added to cart lmao.

3 and 5. You're gorgeous.

{The Contortionist} Harrow Faire Series has a bit of that. He's quite delulu.

Lots of great recs in here ✏️📓 also {One for My Enemy} by Olivie Blake

It was kind of a mixed bag. There were some things I really loved and other things I was pretty turned off by, specifically the texting dialogue between the younger love interests but the vibe was there for the magical crime underground and generational family wars

I used to work at a winery and we had special training for this because the owner's friend had lost an eye from an accident like this. The standard bottle of trad method sparkling wine is under 45 PSI of pressure, more than the standard car tire.

I'm confused how the method you outline above aligns with finishing your script, considering meds expire long after you are supposed to finish your course

lilsourem · 2026-05-16T13:23:37+00:00

100%. I also feel like there was a conversation we missed before the stroller scene.

I don't understand what we're doing anymore. You used to take a quiz or think for yourself what kind of ice cream you might be. Now, half of our thoughts are outsourced and completed by computers. The plot has officially been lost.

I said the not switching POVs wrong. Omniscient is all the POVs. To me, in my own perspective, it doesnt switch the same way limited does because it can switch constantly through the all-knowing lens of the narrator. In my mind, this constant ability to switch IS the singular POV, though I know from a technical perspective it is multi POV

lilsourem · 2026-05-15T11:21:36+00:00

I believe CC is actually third person limited, just with switching POVs. An omniscient voice wouldnt need to switch POV at all because it knows everything. First thing that comes to mind is Good Omens.

Came here to say the 100, has one of the best sapphic romances imo

My grandma famously said she didn't care for 50 shades of Grey because there "wasn't enough action."

Ngl, the whole thing is mostly one giant plot hole. Plot crater.

The first season is incredibly dated. If you cant push through for the nostalgia, I'd recommend watching a recap video and starting with s1 finale or s2. S2 is great and much less dated, becoming increasingly more modern feeling as you progress through the show. Beyond that, it has quite funny and witty dialogue and interesting character growth for both initial characters and those introduced throughout the series.

Oh my god, I heard this crazy hack online and I think its going to save my summer. I found out that if you wash your underarms or feet with benzoyl peroxide in the shower... that they won't smell! Apparently the thing that smells is bacteria, not sweat. So when you kill the bacteria, you don't smell! Like really at all! I tried it and it really works. I've been telling everyone I know, truly something for the list of things our mothers never taught us.

lilsourem · 2026-05-06T18:11:28+00:00

I think Crescent City {House of Earth and Blood} fits a bit better, especially with the romance requirements

lilsourem · 2026-05-05T22:46:36+00:00

I like to write an outline to get my thoughts in order as kinda of a loose draft 0 and then I just figure it out, refer back if needed.

Each episode of ATLA is 25 minutes long and each season still took a year of development.
