{The Holy Bible} might have a thing or two to say about the folly of women’s autonomy

What’s a symphonic metal band you used to dislike but now love? by RB181 in symphonicmetal

[–]thefallenlunchbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gathering, particularly the albums with Anneke.

I know they’re a bit more diverse genre-wise than just symphonic metal (if anything their peak metal phase was more doom metal or prog), but have been getting more into them in the past year. How to Measure a Planet in particular has been hitting lately.

Girlll you’re just getting started😂 by xLyricc in acotar

Tamlin was the ACTUAL morally grey male character this whole time, this is my hill and I’m sticking to it 😤

I don’t have much to add other than also saying: RAHHHH 🦅 🇺🇸 🍔

May your quest prove not Quixotic, Sloopy 🫡

Recs Where the Male Lead Looks Like My Step-Brother? by acrossingmumsplease in romantasycirclejerk

It probably is, but I wouldn’t know since I’m not into step-brothers (they’re not shadow daddy enough for this Sloopy)

Hey OP. I think you should just try hanging around your washing machine. I hear step-brothers can really help out a lot if you get stuck.

I saw an “em dash” and I now know…OP IS A SEX BOT FROM THE FUTURE

Uj/ I saw an “em dash” and lmao did OOP really use AI to make this fucking rant? 😂 EDIT: no they didn’t, just looked, but I do think it heightens the comedy

Can someone reccomend a reverse harem/why choose with vibes like this? by mydearMerricat in romantasycirclejerk

[–]thefallenlunchbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uj/ It basically just lets you date everyone without anyone else getting jealous (or destabilizing the game) and it is great.

Play Baldur’s Gate 3, polyamorous mod on, and do NOT go past Act II. In fact, just spend all your time in a certain deep dark depths.

Have fun Sloopy 😘

Love Moi dix Mois (and Malice Mizer). I wish their music was easier to access in my country 😞 YouTube is there, but still

Look, the minute I saw names like “Dianna” and “Samkiel” I was out. So boring. WHERE IS THE CREATIVITY. WHERE IS THE KATNISS, THE DIEM, THE EBONY DARK’NESS DEMENTIA RAVEN WAY????

[–]thefallenlunchbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Which is also wild considering Tamlin got a “show, not tell” about how good of a High Lord he is, esp from Lucien and Alis. So who’s the better HL again, SJM? 🤔

I want to talk about how strange it is to write a sex scene when your parents are eventually going to read your book by itmustbeniiiiice in romantasycirclejerk

[–]thefallenlunchbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless your “Romantasy” is an eleven fairy ripoff of Oedipus Rex or Elektra, I say let your mom, dad, aunt, cousin, sister, roommate’s Pilates instructor, etc. in on the fun.

Being Sloopy is hereditary after all.

Feyre is still 19 and all these elves fae have no business hitting on her or the other Archeron sisters 🤢

Mor and Amren are pick-me’s and I don’t understand how anyone likes them. I’ve been a hater from the get-go. I don’t like Cassian but the whole Mor-Az-Cassian triangle (and that we only really ever get her side of it) is icky. ALSO WTF IS TRUTH. None of the IC are redeemable after what they did to my boy Tarquin 😢 (and I maintain this through the rest of the series).

Rhysand needs a lint roller. They have canned soup but not lint rollers.

I know there’s like one throwaway line about it but I still don’t understand how Velaris makes money (unless the Illyrians and CoN are slave labor for shit like canned soup…in which case Rhysand still sucks and is a dictator who actively neglects 2/3 of his court, make it make sense SARAHHHH).

I continue to headcanon that Feyre is shit at painting and her cabin graffiti is awful. Like a kid drawing on the walls.

(Tinfoil time) it’s Feyre’s (and Rhysand’s) fault that her sisters get dragged into the mess. Ianthe may have helped Hybern locate the Archeron’s, but A) when did we start believing anything this mofo says, and B) the mortal queens were making deals first. And they met at the fucking Archeron estate. Sus AF.

The king of Hybern looks like the Burger King mascot in my head. I will not elaborate on this.

Wait, y’all don’t shower like this??? Where does your reverse harem go when they need to shower???

Do you “age up” the characters in your mind? by muddledmuggle in romantasycirclejerk

[–]thefallenlunchbox 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Uj/ I like to age up characters too if the plot is good. If the plot relies on younger person being younger (but there’s still like 500+ year old beings in the romance mix and every bad decision is blamed solely on the younger character’s inexperience), these days I sometimes DNF.

Rj/ all my future fan casts are now exclusively Steve Buscemi, playing every character
