Aw do you like that baby? Thinking about my big butch cock stretching you out? Like the thoughts of me bending you over and inch in the girth of it slowly into your aching wetness, shooting a little lube in you to ease it in. Letting you cum only when you get half of it In because its just so big and filling? So ready to be filled up aren’t you? You just can’t wait for my cock to shoot into you a fuck you over and over. All until its fully in you. Precious girl you look so pretty around my cock.

Anyone's Ghost, August Thompson – enjoyed this advance review copy way more than I expected, it broke through my cynical shell and turned me into a soft wobbly mess. An angsty cheesy beautiful queer love story that will be a perfect crying-on-holiday read, comes out in July.

"It's not a love story" is a popular refrain about some of the most popular so-called love stories in classic literature.

Romeo and Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights... we hear the same refrain about all of them.

I have different opinions about the extent that each of these works is a love story. But I'd like to know...

Fellow reader: which version of this claim do you think is the most annoying?

"It's not a love story because love stories are always happy wish-fulfillment tales about perfectly healthy relationships with 'happily ever after' endings."

or

"It's not a love story because love stories are cheap, saccharine girly garbage that only simple-minded female rabble enjoy, unlike this sophisticated literature."

I'd say the former is dumber, but the latter is more obnoxious.

Romance and love are not a distraction. They are not lesser they are not frivolous they are not a silly childish expectation added to stories for a happier ever after. You are not better for not caring about romance, you're not smarter for being more interested in the main plot of a piece of media than the main couple. Romantic love is one of the strongest bonds we have, it can bring people together in a wonderful way and a well written relationship between people who love each other, can say more about philosophy and character and growth then most grand sweeping adventure. Finding love and keeping it, having trust in someone else and showing the venerability a relationship takes, fighting for another person, it's compelling. It pushes people to improve it brings out the best and sometimes the worst in them, it is humanity in the backdrop of war and tragedy and injustices that is the centre point, that's the hope of stories. Romantic love or a persons love interest is not a weak or pathetic motivation either, it's realistic. People will go through hell for the people they care about, for the people they love, and sometimes it's stronger than the noble plot focused reason you've decided should be their motivation. Some people- most people, don't want to save the word or repay a debt or discover some power in themselves, they want to keep the people they love safe, they want to stay with the person they love.

Obviously romantic love is not the only kind that can motivate someone, nor the only kind that can be fulfilling, nor dose it have to be the main kind of love in someones life. I agrees actually that platonic and familial love should be focused on more and respected more as it can be just as important as romantic. Just as, not more. If you're fine with the love someone feels for their sister or child bringing their motivation then anything they do that is motivated by love they feel for someone romantically should be just as valid. Romance dose not make something less deserving of respect, it dose not diminish it or make it simpler and it dose not take away from the message. A focus on the love of friends and family dose not take away from romantic love, people can love multiple people in different ways in equal amounts.

You're not better or smarter or understand the text's deeper meaning more because you want a traumatised young girl to end up alone and not with the person she loves because you don't care about the romance. Good for you you don't have too. No one has to care about shipping or relationships or romantic love, but it doesn't make you better than anyone that dose. The idea that romance has no value other than silly fan service and a distraction from the big important main plot is outdated, boring, over done, and quite frankly misogynistic in its conception and undertones. You don't like romance? Good for you!! You don't have to. You don't care about the relationships in a pieces of media?? Amazing!!!! No one is telling you to. You think platonic and familial should be focused on more and held to equal importance as romantic??? Oh my fucking god I agree with you what about that. But there is this weird superiority complex around SOME okay SOME people who find no interest in romance and it's fucking stupid.

Love holds value, it's a perfectly good and compelling and realistic motivation, romance can play an important role in plot and story and character, it can be an amazing way to explore philosophy and relationships and basic human feelings and experiences. There is so so much romantic love can add to a story, it's not a necessity no, just like romantic love is not a necessary part of some peoples lives, some stories don't need it. But some do. Romance can and dose hold value, and recognising, caring about, and analysing that has never and will never take away from any other part of a story.

why the fuck would neil gaiman call this season “gentle and romantic” THIS IS WHAT HE CONSIDERS GENTLE? SICK AND TWISTED INDIVIDUAL

Well to be fair to Neil it WAS gentle and romantic! There was a whole scheme to get two lesbians to fall in love! There was a Jane Austen themed ball with regency era dancing! The entire main plot revolved around the secret love between another pairing!

I haven't seen this much romance in a mainstream fantasy show outside of fanfiction! (That is of course a compliment).

But then the last 10 minutes just increase the angst to the nth degree and its like all of a sudden you're being hit in the face with a brick. Fun. Thanks Neil Gaiman!

But in all honestly, Pride and Prejudice wouldn't have been half as compelling and dramatic without that epic second act climax in which Darcy confesses his love in all the wrong ways and Elizabeth rejects him wholeheartedly.

The Empire Strikes Back has a lot of romance in it, and then you get that "I love you" "I know" before oh no! Han Solo has been frozen in carbonite and taken prisoner by jabba the hut!

Every.Single.Rom.Com. has a second act break up. I don't need to list them, you already know this. Second act break ups are like built into the foundations of a good love story. We all enjoy the drama and the angst of them. The moment when everything goes wrong and it seems like our heros are never going to bounce back from this terrible thing that has happened!

But these are love stories. The heroes always bounce back. The couple always reunite and resolve their differences, overcome their obstacles and finally confess their love so they can live happily ever after.

Because that's what happens in love stories.

And Good Omens is a love story.

Kinda wishing I had her with a remote control vibe and watching her squirm as I make her beg for my touch while making her cum time after time without laying a finger on her. Having her whimper, and feel wave after wave of pleasure while putting on a pretty little show for me.

I watched these films when I was an impressionable teenager and now I have an unrealistic and borderline delusional view of love

About Last Night (1986) dir. Edward Zwick

Quote: “You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.”

Pretty Woman (1991) dir. Garry Marshall

Quote: “I'd really like you to stay. I don't want to be alone tonight.”

Ever After (1998) dir. Andy Tennant

Dance With Me (1998) dir. Randa Haines

Quote: “I don't wanna be in love.”

You’ve Got Mail (1998) dir. Nora Ephron

Quote: “Kevin, this woman is the most adorable creature I've ever been in contact with, and if she turns out even to be as good-looking as a mailbox, I'd be crazy not to turn my life upside down and marry her”

Someone Like You (2001) dir. Tony Goldwyn

Quote: “I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again, but it can.”

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) dir. Joel Zwick

Maid in Manhattan (2002) dir. Wayne Wang

Quote: “No, honey. It's more like a dream, you know? And for one night, you're living it for all of us. Don't think about tomorrow. Don't think about anything but tonight. Tonight, the maid is a lie. And this, this is who you really are.”

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) dir. Donald Petrie

Quote: “You can't lose something you never had.”

The Last Song (2010) dir. Julie Anne Robinson

Quote: “Love is fragile. And we're not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.”
