Finally finished The Duchess Affair. I rate it a ehh/10

It started off a strong note, I liked the sapphic self discovery of mc and a f!Nat Pippin. The fact that not only is the affair forbidden because mc is married and the class differences that stand between them, they're both women, which makes it even more poignant. But then all the smut scenes kind of wore me down. It didn't feel like a true connection was built between the mc and the LI. It felt like the only thing keeping them interested in each other is the fact that it was forbidden.

I don't really mind smut, especially if it's written well, and it was written well in TDA, but the writers tend to have a hard time writing a smut book and balancing the smut with actual genuine connection between the characters. That balance can be hard to achieve with the usual 16 chapters. Which is why they tend to cut some of the smut out of the plot driven books so they can focus on plot, but since most smut books are 21 or so chapters, they really don't have an excuse. I know this complaint isn't new or original but I guess I want to reiterate that it's not the fact that it's a smut book that gets on my nerves, it's just that I feel most of pb writers are either not very good writers or are just lazy and only care about pleasing their readers that are really only here for the smut.

And then the whole fight between mc and Nat when mc was worried about saving her sister's reputation really irked me. When Nat saw how worried mc was she immediately proposition sex and then got mad when mc rejected her. Even choosing the more polite dialogue, Nat gets mad and storms off.

We get an apology but then immediately mc's husband discovers the affair and the duel takes place. The teary love confessions and heart wrending angst would have been much more powerful if there had been any connection or any substance to mc and Nat's relationship. Sure a lot of things Nat was saying was pretty and swoon worthy, but for the entire book Nat is so one dimensional with no real personality besides "her charming, mischievous smile" and her experienced worldly woman vibe, it made all the love confessions fall flat at the end.

I feel like if they had just took out the scene where mc and Nat watched the deer fucking and getting off riding on a horse and made the 2 scenes diamond scenes to just talk and connect, it would have made it a lot better. But then again watching animals mating isn't a kink of mine, so what do I know?

part 1

(ID in alt text)

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #dungeon meshi spoilers #doodles #mine #in my to-do list that second image is described as 'visions of marcille tarted up dark magician style dancing in falin's mind'#making laios call the dungeon lord dress weird in part one is just compliance to canon characterization HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME #i looove fashion and fashion as characterization so my headcanon is that marcille's epilogue style is a direct consequence of that dress #she realized that there was no escaping the resemblance to her mother bc it is now a proven fact that black brings out her cuntiferocity #also falin is wearing a chemise de la reine bc 1) plumage real estate 2) similar to her canon dresses and 3) booba

regardless of how you feel about homestuck you do have to admit that the story concluding with almost all of the major characters literally deciding to just say fuck it and abandon the story entirely is like. an absolutely iconic narrative decision. you know what i'm not doing this shit anymore. figure it out. bye.

#🐉#my only real complaint about the epilogues is that the story shouldve ended there permanently to give it any weight but #franchise gonna franchise ig #homestuck

the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me

just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.

like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.

in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.

how am i supposed to act normal about this.

#i need to lay down #just drop this in there right at the beginning why not!#that’s INTENSE. and completely sincere considering his demeanor at the party. god #he’s so… nice. in the romanced epilogue. i expected him to be a little smug and jokey #if tav told him the others weren’t doing so hot without the two of them around #but he takes it so genuinely and with visible disappointment?? literally shocked me #i thought he would say oh of course their lives have taken a turn without our impressive leadership lol!#and then redirect into something a little less flippant #but man. he just gets sad. astarion six months into a loving relationship is like a stray cat that instantly gets cuddly when you adopt it #dude went cotton candy marshmallow saccharine sweet in a HEARTBEAT #bless the others with your presence he says. i’ll always be here he says. we have forever after all he says.#head in my hands. how could they do this to me #astarion ancunin #astarion bg3 #astarion #bg3 epilogue spoilers #bg3 spoilers #baldur’s gate 3 spoilers #bg3
