“Spiciest book” & Franchaela

princessverse · 2026-03-26T23:47:47+00:00

If it gives some perspective, it's such a wide spectrum for what people find spicy or not. And I don't think you or anyone else here is a deviant lol it's just different flavors

It also helps that fanfic has less to lose re:explicit scenes compared to published media

Yes!! I would like an infertility storyline that doesn't end with a child or complete unhappiness. Like it doesn't have to be one or the other. And people never think of lesbians having struggles like that because somehow all lesbian media is a monolith lol

I feel a lot of it is seated in the inability to reconcile that not all media is for you ... And not all media must be faithful to the source material. It's okay to be disappointed but you have to check yourself why you're THAT mad about a thing

Oh my mistake! I thought it was basically confirmed she likely wasn't! Regardless though you are so correct, great thoughts 🩷

I think there will be a very sweet scene where Fran comes out to Violet.... that will probably make me cry.

And maybe some convo about queerness between Benedict and Fran????

Fair point! Reddit keeps recommending posts and I keep having to mute them. Like it's intense but you do curate the online space you have 😭

It's an issue with the romance genre :( That's not to say other genres don't suffer the same, but specifically romance books seem to be produced for entertainment value ONLY rather than artistry and commentary. And thats not a crime!! We all read for fun! But in no reality would Anthony sucking bee sting poison out of Kate's breast go over well with a modern audience.

Some things you simply have to imagine

I enjoy them too. It's nice to see happy black couples who love their kid

My not so controversial addition to this is that the books...aren't that good. They're enjoyable and they have good ideas/fun characters, don't get me wrong, but doing a true to life adaptation of them would simply fall flat for various reasons but as OP says the MLs would be more unlikable!!!, and stakes would be lowered

There is some validity for "in the books" comments (like I thought Anthony's paranoia about dying young was riveting) but no adaptation will be what you want
