One of the many many reasons I love tumblr fics and get annoyed by most of the published so called hot romances, is that in the fics the mmc desires and/or falls for the reader(heroine) for who she is. For how she acts, the traits she possesses - be it sassy bratting, or sweet shy innocence, or fierce loyalty.
Yes, there comes the desire for her body, as well. But the noticing of the body parts and assessing attractiveness comes after something else has drawn his attention.
The books I've been trying to read recently all have the same fucking annoying problem of making the main OFC a beauty desired by all. Not beauty discovered through lenses of feelings for the person, but physical attractiveness right from the start. Even when they attempt to write the OFC as a "quiet mouse" there is always the description of how hot she is and how she compels other men attention.
And it's so fucking repelling. To me, at least. Because I simply don't connect with that.
Can't those authors fucking stop with the "she's desirable for him, because she's a standard beauty and others find her attractive too"? 😒
Ughh, I just love you tumblr and ao3 writers so so much!!! ❤️

Some people say that they don’t like certain TD characters because they were being mean in episode abc or are a bad friend to xyz and like, yeah, okay that’s not good morally, and while I personally love immoral characters I can understand why they come across as fully unlikable to some people. But also, I think it makes sense that they’re mean. If a grown man made me sleep in a cabin with no AC in the dead of summer surrounded by bugs (or monsters) for several months, and only let me eat dirt and mashed potatoes, and had me do life-threatening stunts every few days, and let my peers humiliate me on international TV or humiliated me himself, and I was surrounded by people I either clash with or would inevitably be separated from if I befriended them, and I couldn’t participate in any of my hobbies during this time or leave this shitty camp, and I was contractually obligated not to leave and even come back several times if requested, and I didn’t even get out of school for this, and I almost died several times, and my home life and mental health probably sucked even before this, and all my relationship/friendship issues were immortalized on network television forever, and I likely didn’t even win the show, and I didn’t get paid for this otherwise, and I was also 16 during all of this…then yeah, I’d probably get pretty mean too.

Why do you ever thought, among the other ‘relationship’, that Hamille could be real?
Thank you! I wasn’t in the fandom during that time
I’m not sure it was real, to be fair. I was also taking a break from fandom during the time Harry was dating Camille, so I didn’t really experience much of it firsthand. But I think it’s interesting that Camille was written into the official narrative of Harry’s life (by Harry!) in a way his previous relationships were not. Her voice is included on “Cherry” and he referred to her as his girlfriend (after the fact). And in that way, it did stand out to me and come across as… emotionally authentic.
However, I don’t think we as fans could ever know what relationships are “real” versus “not real.” People make a lot of arbitrary distinctions like if a relationship of Harry’s is “too public” it’s bound to be fake (hence why his relationship with Camille was more believable to some people). And the list goes on. But we really have no way of knowing any of that. I think, in most cases, it would be impossible to distinguish between a real relationship and a fake one. Would a real relationship that’s being leveraged for PR look markedly different from a fake one, for example? Would a romantic relationship look worlds away from a bearding relationship where the parties are good friends and enjoy spending time together? And there’s a whole lot of grey area in between. So I’m probably not the best person to ask about the girlfriends because, while I have a position, I also think anything is possible and we as fans have no way of knowing.

during the pandemic I was lucky and was doing some volunteer work rather than being in quarantine, essential personal and all that (hurricanes and wildfires didn't stop)
in 2021 I left that job and for 3 years I have done nothing since cause some of that said work exacerbated and added new quirks to my already funky brain
I feel like that's just an excuse but my therapists and medical professionals have told me otherwise
In particular I can't drive which fucks everything up when you live in that nightmare section of suburbia where you can't walk anywhere and the only thing around are strip malls with pricy restaurants
Though there is a library close by that I frequent, it's not one of the two where events happen where I might talk with other humans (beyond the common courtesy talk)
I've also gotten so highstrung i act fucking aggressively or panic when i start talking to literally anyone for more than the 5 second chat with a store clerk
I need to find people I can parasite their automobility for and I'm plenty likeable so it shouldn't be a problem once I get to an activity (it's taken me years of therapy to somewhat believe that, let me indulge that particular delusion and truth)
I'll start by screaming here, and by trying to actually showcase my stories online, still, even that will be a problem cause of my aforementioned funky brain
I don't know what the point of this was, maybe its just noise, and it's definitely an invitation for communication, but it's unlikely many or any will see this (or they/you will be anxious too)
It's also likely I'll be too frightened to do anything about potential first contact and delete this account before I end up engaging with you native aliens (humans but my brain is funky and I don't understand y'all sometimes, least of all myself)
Anywho, I think my messages are open. I'm pretty chill I think, if you want to be a dick that's fine too.
As for things to talk about i think I'm a standard nerd with a little more travel experience than most.
/End incessant droning
