#ya romcom

[oracleofmadness]

This was such a delight! Gwen is a princess at Camelot, years after Arthur Pendragon has turned to myth. Arthur is her betrothed. However, neither is looking forward to their future together because both are queer.

Gwen has spent years falling for the one and only female knight that takes part in the tournament every summer while Art is falling for Gwen's brother. This story is not only romantic but is full of meaningful moments. The dialogues, the banter, is so funny and enjoyable.

The ending completely surprised me. I thought this would never get too serious, but the ending is intense!

Out November 28, 2023!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

Café Con Lychee comes out in paperback on Tuesday, and I'm kind of excited to go around to all the local bookstores and sign copies! I'm also a little nervous they won't have any in stock...

Hey everyone, reintroducing myself here as I once again become active on this account! My name is Cassidy (Cassie, Cass, any variation will work) Jackson and I’m a 20 year old STEM major who writes YA dystopian, realistic fiction, and romcoms (maybe). I am currently getting my ya dystopian Draft Wip ready for beta readers (this is the first draft I’ve ever finished in my life); I am so proud of this!

This will serve as a master list of all things Cassie related where I’m going to attempt to get things up and running. I will be following from @cassieschaosdimension where everything and the kitchen sink is not about writing. If there is something writing related please use this blog as this will be solely focused on my writing. Feel free to tag me in ask games and ask me things in my ask box! I am so looking forward to getting started (again) on this journey!

My #s:

this is just cool = reblogs about writing that have to be on my blog too

cassie moot reblogs = reblogs from my mutuals

cassie rambles about writing = my thoughts about writing

you asked for it :D = anything from my ask box

I know like geographically it does not make any sense but I’m mashing up this costal village place I love with this highland town we used to visit in summers and getting a lando/Oscar summer au. I’m thinking about like bored, teenager Oscar who lives (?) in this tiny seaside town nd works in this old school slightly shitty arcade, fully planning on spending a sweltering summer in his glass box doling out change nd giving the machines the “turn it off nd back on” treatment before he meets city boy Lando who’s there for the summer and fucking bored out his tits with dodgy wifi & no signal. Lando latches onto him as one of the only people there over age 5 and under the age 40 nd spends ages chatting/flirting his way past Oscars deadpan, no interest but hiding a smile interactions until they get a conversation going.

Leads to Lando spending dayyss in the arcade, sometimes playing the penny drop machine but mostly leaning against the glass window chatting. (omg winning like a fucking friendship bracelet or necklace or really cliche koala key chain for Oscar who is like ?? Dude I stock the machines ((but at some point he wins/steals the matching one for Lando))

Ofc Lando has charmed every shopkeeper in the high-street (inc the dog in the sweetie shop) and they get so much freedom bc there is basically no way to get into trouble. I want a summer romance. Long days at the beach, seeing each other shirtless and doing the “boys will be boys” wresting in the (let’s still be realistic, freezing) sea, doing the “is he interested, is he gay???” internal panic. Walking the costal paths and wee lanes and forest paths, talking and laughing. Finally making out in the sand traps on the golf course (maybe they were cutting through and a greenkeeper saw them or they were sitting in the bunker drinking and got interrupted so had to dive on top of each other to hide and end up face to face, staring into each others eyes nd that’s when it happens) I want a love confession in a small, rusty kids play park at 10pm when they’re tipsy off cheap cider and it’s all summer hazy light. I actually want the whole thing in that summer evening light nd blurry sunny Polaroids. That’s the vibe (I’d say like a late 90s/early 00s setting but realistically most seaside towns still have that vibe anyway). ANYWAY that’s my Monday night thoughts ✨✨

OMG ANON 😍😍🥰����🧡🧡 I have to publish this because it's sooooo cute I am feeling the summer vibes so hard!

Oscar in his arcade glass box being slowly charmed by chatty/flirty Lando! The summer romance! The wrestling in the freezing cold sea! When I read out the part with the sand traps on the golf course @strawberry-daiquiris screamed! Tipsy off cheap cider 😭 I am going to think about this so long and hard thank you for blessing my inbox with this utter joy.

#it's my birthday week and it's like this is the best kind of present 😭 #fic rec #would read 20k immediately. what a glorious AU #thank you anon 🫶🫶🫶 #hazy summer light tipsy teenage boys the YA romcom of dreams 🥰 #landoscar #asks

19:45 into the absolute rom-com classic Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na bc i wanted to feel good today and revisit a little bit of nostalgia and i was in the romcom mood so. here we are. anyway, this movie is like Camp Excellence, and also astonishingly well directed, i'm glad young me had great taste, this movie is very much from the year 2008, but, along with Mamma Mia! which somehow also released in 2008, nothing else even comes close to making me love love and life as this does.

#james talks #james watches stuff #jaane tu ya jaane na #jaane tu... ya jaane na #guess something about 2008 movies just hits different #also yeah i did chuckle at the gay joke. it's from 2008 guys. let it go. #and Ratna is just playing a toned down Maya Sarabhai and i'm having a blast #but also her getting fake mad at Jai to stop him from dreaming about his father triggered like real PTSD in me lmao #asian parents are the fucking worst. #they'll say shit like 'i can't believe you'd dream about that. i'm so disappointed you even had that thought' and genuinely mean it lmao #anyway banger songs great acting really good direction and writing AND they synthesized a literal audience and made it work!!!! #you want me to be normal about romance? you want someone who grew up on Imran Khan romcoms to be normal about romance????

The perfect ya romance! So romantic, dynamic characters, funny and emotional all at once.

Riley is a die-hard theater kid. When her best friend and she takes her mom's car (without a driver's license) to go see Waitress traveling Broadway, she does not look forward to paying for her crimes when she gets caught. She has to work at her dad's game store for 8 weeks while also not participating in any theater activities. When her ex-boyfriend shows up to obnoxiously gloat at the shop, she accidentally blurts out that she is, in fact, in another relationship.... with Nathan, a gamer boy that she is not exactly on good terms with.

This had so many things I loved in it. The incorporation of the game shop feeling like a home away from home to the many that gather there for different reasons is something I can definitely relate to. Not to mention the undeniable charm of the two main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this read!

Out January 9, 2024!

Hi Tumblr,

Help me out a bit? I'm seeing a huge uptick in people saying that "trans romcoms" and "happy trans books" don't exist, and like... I published one two years ago and the paperback is still readily available at bookstores, so this is just not true?

My battle to get Meet Cute Diary recognized as a romcom is literally still ongoing. People keep arguing it MUST be an issue book just because the characters are PoC and trans, but it's literally a comedy, it doesn't "educate" on trans issues, and his being trans is NOT the plot of the story.

Anyway, I don't need anyone to buy the book or read the book or like the book. I just want people to acknowledge that it exists so I can stop 1. having to explain to people that it's not an issue book. The fact that it doesn't deal in trans suffering is actually the highlight, yes. and 2. dealing with people blatantly erasing the fight and progress I made within the industry just to get this book published.

Anyway, this is the cover. If you could just share it around and let people know that we *are* allowed to write trans romcoms and one already exists and has had bookshelf space in stores across the U.S. and ALSO in several other countries, that would be great, thanks!

is this too romantic? am I going too far? is there any other way to write romance than all in, all encompassing, perfectly magical? no. this is fine.

#talking to myself as i write #it's so flufffffyyyyyy #i should write romcoms i'd really be great at it #except someone would inexpicably die or get shot out of nowhere #and then ya know #“dying in the rain talking about theology” #classic me #also fuck you bc theres so much i cant share anymore #because you took it all away #why am i rambling in the tags agani #no one reads anyway #so screw you you hurt me #but im not going anywhere #i'm gonna stay here and write this stupid fluffy romanctic shit #and love it #and then i'll write my dean and jensen and misha #and i will love that too #and someday i won't be so sad or indifferently angry at you #and maybe i'll get back to writing what i used to but cant now bc you took it from me #i should delete this but honestly no #i'm not goinig to #now im just curious to how manyt ags i can have #someone count this i cant math #anyway whatever #writing #henry cavill #whatttttttt

i loooove the idea of derek being a hopeless romantic. of a derek who believes in soulmates and fate and in the universe. of a derek who believes in reincarnation and probably thinks, in his restless nights, that he and stiles find each other in any and all universes. like it’s SOOO cheesy but it’s just something that derek keeps close like i just love the idea of him being this closeted hopeless romantic

#txt #the pattern of eng lit derek who loves YA romcoms >>>>>>> #yes im looking at you strawbrrry & cigarettes 🥰🥰🥰

Not Imran Khan being disgusted by this plot of a rom-com in I Hate Luv Storys (2010)

When that was literally him in his debut film. Down to singing a song. Like sir, this you?

You literally had the same name, even, in both these movies.

TLDR; In I Hate Luv Storys (2010), Imran Khan plays assistant director 'Jai' who comes to hate the plot of his own love story from his debut film where he, ironically, also plays a 'Jai' and people say Imran Khan does not have range?

#and this. my friends. is proof of not only how Bollywood makes superior romcoms by breaking the 4th wall with such references #but also how Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) is one of the best romcoms to ever have been made in the history of this genre #imran khan #bollywood #romcoms #romantic comedy #romantic comedies #films #film #movie #movies #bollywood music #bollywood movies #bollywood2 #bollywood edit #south asia #south asian #brown culture #india #indian #hindi #desi things #desiblr #jaane tu ya jaane na #i hate luv storys #sonam kapoor #genelia d'souza
