#yeah I still do these type of stuff

[shopcat]

i think in the hamster wheel of my mind a big part of where people go wrong with eddie and his shitty garage band as an extension is that they for some bizarre reason think he's gene simmons metal when he's jack black metal. heavy metal. he's tenacious d metal. he's school of rock. he's stoner lord of the rings metal he nearly wore blue jeans and plaid. jack black literally in real life once said eddie was the best character bc he's heavy metal like him. LOOK AT THIS

#🍦 #answer it's bc people think he's some mishmash of all alternative scenes without any actual knowledge of where the mashing occurs 😭 #eddie is . a heavy metal guy. A cool one. a nice one even. he likes rock and roll #it's so funny when ppl try and describe it and they've never heard the stuff he actually listens to in their lives for some reason #literally so much of the appeal of eddie's character within his subculture is that its theatrical and dramatic but its still grounded #he's very alternative and Out There but he's still just some guy. he's not wearing spiked leather jackets #in fact he's not wearing any of the other kinds of leather jackets i've seen people say he would ... TO ME #sts #if u haven't seen the clip he then proceeds to air guitar the MoP melody then shouts heavy metal is everywhere #i don't even know how to explain this bc it's like ... okay #the general .. VIBE? aestheticsm? is kind of similar to what people sometimes portray but they're missing thst it's tongue in cheek #like it's like that buff poster of him being this anachronistic homage to heavy metal album covers #fire and satanic imagery and skulls and lightning and big drama and ROCK AND ROLL #it's rock and ROLL man... #and people r making him this weird sanitised dork LOL 😭 when he's a dork in a different more fun way.. imo #and it's not that those types of people don't exist and that they're not cool in their own way cuz they are sure but that's not THIS GUY #he is an 80S METALHEAD... and yeah i try and ground him in thinfs and poke and prod at it until it fits my own understanding of alternative #scenes better but that's bc i've had a hand in the punk scene for years and years #i dunno sometimes i feel like ppl r just not doing the full potential and then going way too hard in this super specific direction #and he ends up first of all usually just a massive douchebag not sure what that's about. But a guy who he would in canon HATE 😭 #YOU ARE MAKING HIM A POSER. is what i'm saying #he is alwyas some guy before he's anything else and before he's that he's a 20 year old loser #you need to reflect this... You need to bottle it. ugh. ugh #so much of this reminds me of the time someone was like he would never wear PLAID #like are you kidding me. are you actually kidding me rn #ppl have this weird arstheticised mostly modern and mostly literallt just eboy Idea of what he'd wear it's crazy to me sorry #also it's ugly #i also think. this is so long lol . anyway . i also think going too ''authentic'' in the 80s metalhead direction also lands u w different #problems. my advice to people trying to write or draw alternative characters is they are People. before they are anything else #🍏

I'm so annoyed. @kingcrow01 tumblr ate your ask about Danny's opinion on the League. tumblr i pressed 'save draft' why didn't you sAVE DRAFT.

ANyways I'm making a post instead. For everyone else, the ask was in summary:

What was Danny's opinion on the League now that he's left it? If he missed the familiarity of it, if he recognized the cult-like behavior inside it, and if he now detested his grandfather.

And to answer (again, grrr): It's complicated! We love complicated <3. Yeah, Danny does miss the familiarity of the League, it was still his home for the first ten years of his life and he has a lot of memories there. Plenty of good along with the bad, and while he's less homesick than he was when he was 10, it still hits him like a truck at random intervals.

Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are great, and he likes the Drs. Fentons enough that he's contemplated murdering Vlad for his meddling, but if he wants to eat the same food his mother used to make him and Damian, he has to do it himself and he can't get the taste right. No one knows arabic so he speaks it to himself because he doesn't want to forget his mother tongue, and he has a few books too. Frankly? He genuinely misses training.

Getting to use Sam's gym helps with his restlessness, same with training with Maddie, but he has no one on or above his level to go against other than his mother. And he only sees her twice a year at most. He knows that he's getting stagnant and he fucking despises it like a bad itch he can't scratch.

He feels conflicted about missing the League, however, since by now he recognizes the flaws and what was wrong with it, and he recognizes that it was cult-like. But even that is kinda, hrm, complicated? If this was a fic I would be able to go better into depth about what he has and hasn't unlearned because cult deprogramming is hard and Danny's doing most of this on his own.

Sam, Tucker, and Jazz have helped with the more obvious stuff: like the ecofascism, the disregard for human life, his emotional constipation; the more obvious stuff that shows in his behavior and personality. But none of them are professionals nor do they actually know the full extent of what Danny's life in the League was like. They only have snapshots since Danyal is very tight lipped about it. So they can only help with what they see themselves through Danny's behavior or word of mouth.

But in summary: He sees, for the most part, what's wrong with the League and disagrees with some of the stuff they do now. But he's very conflicted, and trying to dissect his feelings on the League confuses him. His protests about it whenever Sam and Tucker joke about it have at this point become mostly empty (altho it still causes him some discomfort), and its an inside joke between them three.

As for Ra's? Despises him. If only because Ra's wanted him to kill his little brother -- thinking about his motives with the League confuses Danny, cognitive dissonance and stuff, -- a lot of his hatred stems from "He wanted me to fight my baby brother to the death. I destroyed my relationship with Damian because of him, I had to fake my death and leave my home, and I will never meet my father or see my brother again because of him. Fuck that guy."

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #danyal al ghul au #starry asks #demon siblings au #danny's opinions on the league is rather complicated but he knows that some of the stuff that happened inside was wrong. and while he's #always known that his upbringing wasn't normal -- and he took pride in that -- its only in recent years that he's learned that #this was a *bad* thing. that his upbringing was wrong. he's still kinda grappling with that. #danny's homesickness hits the worst when he's patching himself up from a ghost fight alone. stitching up his throat in his ghost form when #he gets hit with a deep child-like grief and the unwitting 'i wanna go home'. he's exhausted and sad and hurting and fucking *tired* #good mom talia al ghul supremacy. she's trying her best. #but yeah sam and tucker did a lot of good for Danny by becoming his friend. he's a lot better off than he would've been if he remained alon #'a child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth' type of stuff. danny's aware of this and is incredibly grateful #for sam and tucker. and as a result can and will get violently protective. his moral code on killing can be summed up as: i dont kill bc i #value human life and it's inconvenient. but i will do it without remorse if i must. #vlad is only still alive because he's incompetent. but the ice is thin #catch me about to make an incorrect quotes post about this au. i am so close.

Thanks for being the final push I needed to watch scavengers reign. That was so fucked up and scary and awesome you were so right

Absolutely unrelated do you know any psychiatrists that specify in helping u deal with characters dying from plant attack

Glad you enjoyed it!

And yeah The Plant Death really was one of the single most brutal sequences of frames I've ever seen animated without even showing as much in the way of "tons of blood and visceral organs all over" gore. And that is a high bar to clear. It is SO fucking mean and sudden and that character did NOT deserve it.

It has... hm... it has "horrible workplace accident involving heavy machinery" vibes, where "thankfully" said machinery is blocking your view of the worst of it but it's the Knowing of what has happened in there and worst is "you're just barely alive but bro, you are not making it to the hospital"

Shoulda been [name withheld for spoilers but by the time one finishes Scavreign they'll probably know who else present in The Plant Death scene wastes no further time next episode onward proving to be someone who deserves to get their ass done like dishes by the cold indifference of alien wildlife way more than they did]

#scavreign warbling #ask x #at least that withheld character ends up pathetically withering alone in a corner but still got off a bit too easy imo #im not sure i fault the writers there bc yeah that is Very Real Type of Person and that Is what someone like that Would do huh #i have had to deal with This Type of Person in real life #thank goodness the writers had azi express the exact same reactions putting up with blondie as i was watching #so i didn't have to deal with 2 much 'but the bossy white asshole is so badass and has valid points about other stuff tho!' energy i HATE #skirting the line of concern writing wise before going 'Nope!

Loki deserves to have an active role in the multiversal war. He deserves to fight alongside the Avengers. He deserves to save the day, he deserves to use his new time powers against a big bad, he-

#listen I’ve heard people saying loki is way too OP now to be in anymore battle scenes #but LISTEN #he’s only omniscient and omnipotent while he’s holding the branches #if he leaves his throne yeah he’ll still be able to timeslip and freeze time and do telekinesis and stuff #but he won’t be so overpowered that he can’t still be realistically used in a fight scene #it’s just that the fight needs to be against someone who is also super powerful #I need a scene of kang realising that to take control of the multiverse he has to dethrone loki #so he shows up to where the citadel used to be with an army or a badass weapon or smth #and we get a loki v kang 1v1 fight scene in which loki kicks his ass #but then afterwards he realises that more trouble is brewing so the multiversal avengers have to be assembled #and he’s just like a Nick fury type person appearing via astral projections and stuff for most of the movie/saga/whatever #but then at then end when the big battle is going on and the avengers are losing #he has to get up and actually come to the battlefield to handle shit himself #like a deus ex machina #and then afterwards he goes back to the TVA and lives happily ever after the end #loki series #loki meta #loki finale spoilers #avengers kang dynasty #avengers secret wars

You guys have no idea how much I enjoy that Chiaki is both a jock AND a nerd!

He’s athletic and was on the basketball team back in high school, and regularly talks about working out and all that, and nowadays is in his own club that does sports and all that (which makes me curious because I know he was sickly as a child. Is he still sickly nowadays? Maybe to a lesser extent than when he was little? I wonder if another story will go into more details). But he’s also a really good student who reads every night and is good at tutoring and also collects merch for all his beloved tokusatsu shows and all that.

I just find it adorably endearing! Because on paper you see Chiaki and think “oh yeah typical dumb loud lovable jock type”. But then the game is like “yeah he is a loud and lovable jock but the guy’s also a MASSIVE nerd boy, mister smarty pants bookworm over here”!

#ensemble stars #chiaki morisawa #I really like when characters in stories who don’t seem the type to do well academically #are actually revealed to genuinely be good at that stuff #it’s a simple little trope that I’m super fond of #I really do wonder if some of the other stories go into chiaki’s sickly childhood more #by the way ain’t that my luck? First riku and now chiaki #I’ve yet again latched onto a bright sunshine lad with a sickly past #anyways yeah I’m curious does chiaki still get sick a bunch? Is it not as bad as when he was a little kid? Or is that just a past thing? #but yeah getting a bit off track…I love my nerdy jock boyo 🥰🥰🥰 #story time with me

[scribbling-dragon]

might just be me but i am obsessed with the fae stuff going on with empires right now??? like. none of them call the emperors by their names (bc like. fae hold power in names or smth) and they're granting wishes but they're also kinda bad and they play pranks on them (see: jimmy getting attacked by ravagers when the first creeper skull stuff was going on)

could just be that i love the concept of fae but i am desperate to know where they're all going with this tbh- is it a malicious force that is using them to get what they want? because the fae stuff in jimmy's ep was talking about recreating bodies (or something similar at least, because that's why they wanted the first creeper skull). so why do they want to have physical form? were they banished and unable to return without help???

#people might know this by now but i do like fae stuff. like. all of my e1 fics involve fae stuff at least slightly #bc elves are sometimes interpreted as a type of fae #but i am OBSESSED with the concept and the fact that theyre using it rn #(also if any of the stuff about episodes is misremembered uhhhh. no its not) #(/lh) #BUT YEAH. i would write smth about this (still might honestly because jimmy seems to be working with them and hes also all alone-) #(-so no one would probably notice i something happened to him) #hi come yell at me about this :] ive been thinking abt it for ages #and i also might have missed some stuff! bc i dont watch all the povs so its inevitable really that i might have #juno.talks #empires smp

Heres a drawing i did of Callie, from splatoon ofc.

i don't think the proportions are perfect,but hey i'm not gonna be amazing without practice, so i don't think its too bad.

#cherridoesart #splatoon #splatoon callie #callie splatoon #callie cuttlefish #my art #digital artist #yeah it never really sat right w me all the characters in splatoon being the exact same body type #like yeah its just a videogame but still #i tried to draw her in the way i think she would actually look #emphasis on the tried im not quite there yet #i need to do more work on like #learning what shapes and stuff i can use #but it'll do for now

[floralstorms]

tehe I have. An au. For The Characters

#Idk if it’s any good but it’s been a few weeks that it’s existed on paper so now it’s digitally drawn as well #there is a plot also #that is mostly figured out #So ask about that if you want that kind of exists just probably not well considering I haven’t technically watched Adventure Time #but eh I know hopefully enough for this au #anyway! So Scarab is an acidic water spider beetle creature thingy. (These two are both made of magic water stuff) he works as and disguise #as a fire spirit type creature instead though with the help of a neat little magicy necklace #Prismo is a mermaid type water spirit and is supposed to keep his little corner of an environment nice and cared for #which he does and well but Ig he meets Jake who’s a fisher or something and has been having trouble catching anything because Prismo’s a #little too efficient with that and also other reasons #they get along or something Idk and Prismo helps him catch some fish #a lot of it because Prismo has little concept of how many fish are too many fish or something Idk #anyway he isn’t really supposed to do that #other spirits are probably suspecting something like this is going on but they don’t think he’ll cause any harm so they’re pretty chill #about that Ig #Scarab however is of course not and has nothing better to do #Ig he ended up with a really cramped environment or something and didn’t like it much thus jealousy and also other factors? Idk. Idk. But #anyway he quit that and works as a firespirit instead as kind of a law enforcement Ig and yeah pretty much tries to get Prismo in trouble #it doesn’t particularly work naturally #Orbo still doesn’t care etc etc #Scarab gets fired which was Not meant to be a pun but sure take it that way Ig bhdfbvjhdfbvhjbdfjhvbfdjhb lol #and at some point Prismo found out that Scarab is also a water spirit and is really confused because like. #Yeah without context that’s a little confusing sure Idk #Anyway this all pretty much goes like Fionna and cake does except Idk of F&C and all of that exist so really it’s more so just the Scarab #plot in a different situation without all those characters?? #Idk #also maybe Jake drowned at some point (Prismo wasn’t there and didn’t cause it) or something a while before #and Scarab has been busy but now he has time to get Prismo in trouble #maybe Prismo tried helping someone like this again or the environment thingy of his went into a little disrepair following the death #Idk dude this stuff is just vague ideas

[iceeericeee]

I wonder how many tags i can add on to this

#there must be SOME kind of a limit otherwise posts would get suuuuuuper duper long like is it just 30? #idk but i'm going to find out by simply maxxing out the character limit for each tag and finding out the limit of tags for each post lololo #this is gonna be great. i just have to remember to type without ever using the comma. it shouldn't be too hard right? fuck i almost typed #the comma i'm already bad at this smh my head. also if your still here i commend you. you have a better attention span than i do. #i'm already starting to get bored holy shit this is not happening. i gotta power through this. FOR SCIENCEEEEEEEEEE. or somethinggggggggggg #but fr idk what else to say. maybe just saying that i don't know what to say will be good enough? but does that even count? #I don't even know anymore. ffffffffuck. this is gonna be a while huh? also holy shit if you're still here omg u deserve like. a prize or #something because u definitely didn't have to stay and read all of this bull shit. lololol i typed out bs but decided to just spell the who #thing out just to make it go by faster. i'm so lazy. this is only the nineth tag HOW will i make it to 30. i am sobbing the adhd is adhding #very hard rn. are you still here? bruh this is insane. i have somehow managed to keep ur attention this long and it's just me spouting #absolute balderdash. wait do you know what balderdash even means? i don't care if you do already i'm gonna tell you anyway. balderdash is #basically just another word for nonsense. boom. you learned something new today. balderdash equals nonsense equals this damn post. #why did i decide to do this in the first place. it was a dumb idea. i don't know if i can even keep going. this is only the *counts tags* #it's the 14th tag. we've got a long way to go boys. men. soldiers. comrads. friends. besties peeps. marshmallows. #where was i going with this? oh yeah. trying to max out the limit for tags. dang i almost typed a comma there. i haven't done that since #i think the third or fourth tag. dang that feels like such a long time ago. not for you guys probably. it feels longer because i have to li #type it all out and stuff. so it's definitely gonna feel longer for me. are you still here? good lord don't you have better things to #be doing than reading all of this? we're already on tag number 18. it feels like i should be on the thirtyeth by now. or however it's spell #'toast' you might be wondering 'why are you typing out the names of the numbers instead of say '9' or '5'?' well you see. young one. #this is a strategy i'm using to make each tag slightly longer. even if i don't know how to spell it. it'll make it just a little bit longer #anyway. i got off topic. not that there was ever a topic to begin with. unless it's about making this as long as i can. #which i am apparently good at doing. i guess. are you STILL here? do you seriously have nothing to do? i guess i'm flattered you stayed thi #whole time. instead of reading something else you stayed here. with me. listening to me talk. on the twenty-third tag. oh yeah its tag 23 #except now it's tag twenty-four. how crazy is that. this little talk is almost over. only 6 tags away if memory serves right. this's strang #i kind of don't want this to end. but i know it should. after all there is a limit. but all things must come to and end at some point i gue #i'm running out of things to say. it's probably a good thing it's almost over. hahahahah............... but i don't want to go. i don't wan #to leave this post. i've worked so hard on it. and for what. just for it to end. are you still here? yes? good. i'd hate to end this alone. #thank you for indulging me and my craziness. the end is only 2 tags away now. you can go ahead and leave. i'll be okay on my own. really... #...you're still here? i- i don't know what to say. i suppose a toast is in order. perhaps. for this journey. this stupid dumb post i though #would be fun. i'll make it short. it's the last tag after all. this was fun. but i will never do it again. so long as a i live. i'll miss y

[doodlingwren]

So, updates will be a little slow for now. I have to finish that one comic (it's still the same I was writing + drawing about 2 weeks ago or 3 I don't remember and I don't want to).

Yes, I've been working on it for the past month or so, and it's incredibly silly (playing safe here, I advise you IT will BE cringe), like, usual Wren stuff, with the only difference is that I'm doing something out of my usual comfort zone after well, a while <3 but I'm having fun nonetheless.

HOWEVER, like an IDIOT, I forgot that I'm Italian and this means Festival di Sanremo for the next 4 days at least, so my already poor concentration skills have been rightfully yeeted out of the window. No thoughts. No sleep. Just 5 hours of people singing and going completely batshit crazy (affectionate). The festival generally lasts till 2 AM so if I don't reply to comments or asks it's bc I'm sleeping lol

#wren text tag #wren draws stuff #btw gonna probably spam Sanremo related content for the next few days or so #yes the comic the comic it's still THAT ONE COMIC #idk exactly what I wrote bc yeah I must gatekeep it from you all but I did add something like #it'll be a banger post I prommy 💖💖💖 #wren doing a special type of self sabotage #generally the drawings I spend a lot of time on are pretty much ignored because idk #I guess it's karma #ahah that will teach ya to spend more than 13 hours on a drawing #or a similar number I can't recall #btw I really hope this one comic makes at least 1 person angry at me bc I draw gay people kissing

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard* #I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details #of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point #but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag #of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there #are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance #but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly #doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. ) #the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead #of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like #you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image #or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i #wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol) #hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe #I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing #that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc #eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that #this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently #wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj #Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU #CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!!

HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie* #Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol #I think moreso the lacking of context?

#honestly like. idk what your age is but when i was attending uni i kept getting told that i shouldve gone for IT. because the future #- and the money - is there. #now look at the IT companies. the whole thing is crumbling #not to mention the arrogance. that IT degree didnt make you immune to the same old scam tactics did it. how are your nfts doing btw #honestly i never really expected it myself that a humanities degree would prove useful in a daily life type of way #like. sure i knew it wasnt useless but still. its entirely different to experience it in real time yknow #and the whole new wave ''it isnt that deep'' trend is honestly pretty dangerous bc there usually IS something deeper. #a narrative an agenda a propaganda etc.... or simply just capitalist greed #so its needed to read between the lines and see what the point/intention really is #- and thats what literary and other art analysis is making you do! it makes you stop and think #this is all not even mentioning all the political historical and cultural stuff we learned about all the anglo-saxon countries #which all prove to be pretty useful in light of recent events...... #so yeah. anyway. dont listen to all those who say its useless (and theres a lot of those even among the ones who chose this major too) #its clearly not. but even if it were it wouldnt matter ehat they think #(i do wish tho that i couldve attended it already on the right meds bc i feel like i forgot A Lot bc of my mental state at the time #but oh well. what can you do) #thank you for the ask it was really nice of you 💞💞💞 #ask #anon

I have a wild, new, & bold suggestion for a tumblr feature:

When a tag is recommended or trending. & It previews some posts IN that tag, (showing you thumbnails of art, for instance,) then maybe.

Clicking on that post. Should show you that fucking post.

#em.txt #i use mobile so maybe it's not liek this on desktop #the number of times a trending tab will preview some fire art i cannot find has built this hatred in me #the weird thing is clicking a different preview WILL take you into a different part of the tag/jumble the order #like very consistently you click post A & it shows you posts 1 then 2 then 3 #& then you click post B & it shows you 2 then 1 then 3 & clicking A again still has that 1-2-3 order #but for some reason clicking the posts does NOT show you the post you clicked #it's frustrating because like. #you're using trending as a thing to showcase yes? here's what people are talking about! #here's the current news/interests! & here's some of the big posts in that current happening! #& the majority of those tend to be like art or memes that people madr #so if you're using their shit in your broadcast i would enjoy to be able to FIND THEIR SHIT. #am i being unfair & a bitch? yes. but i was actually going to be way meaner about this #which is not an excuse at all. i know i am being vile. i do not care atm. #because yeah i am the type of person who gets mad when I can't find the artists responsible for fire stuff #if i enjoyed their art i might look at their other stuff & enjoy that too & rb & maybe follow #& then maybe my followers also do the same #but here the art is being used to pad out the trending tab but isn't being appropriately linked to #meaning it makes the trendings look good but the artist is lost while their works are still used #& that already happens enough. #i have been pissed for years at this

reading Love, Theoretically and can someone remind me of why everyone was acting like Ali Hazelwood is the second coming of Satan who can't write because this is a solid, good contemporary romance

#romance novel blogging #like i'm not saying it's mindblowing but it's cozy and cute while still having emotional stakes #and while it could always be sexier it's still p sexy for a slow burn #the chemistry is on point the tension is great #and like yeah does ali have a 'big guy/small girl who's not a virgin but is inexperienced and SOOOOO FUCKIN TIIIGHT' type? #for sure #but lmao as if that isn't.... the type... for the majority of romance novelists.................. #and as if readers don't eat that shit up #like for sure we need more stuff that isn't that #but lmao dude ali hazelwood did not invent that issue #and it's okay for her to write to a type bc most romance novelists.... do #which is probs why i took a couple years between her books! #bc sometimes when you read the same author over and over back to back to back #you get bored!
