proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up

will they won't they (end this farce). there's only one bed (but for some reason they don't really want to share it). out of context eavesdropping (that paints the relationship in a better light than it deserves). chasing after them to stop them getting on that plane (and stopping them from finally being free)

nobody understands my vision i don't mean any old story where a relationship fails and it's tragic or w/e i mean a story where the intention is for the audience to root for it failing the same way u root for it succeeding in a romance. & when the relationship finally implodes at the climax of the story it's all very cathartic & everybody cheers.

like have u never wanted a fictional couple to break up so badly it hurt?

This is not a new genre of fiction. You would like After the Winter by Guadalupe Nettel. That is literally what you're describing.

that's not a genre that's the plot of one book. maybe i want a vast array of feel good stories about relationships imploding like fireworks. maybe i want to be baited by a breakup in act one only for them to get back together for absurd & convoluted reasons. maybe i want to pick up a book and go "wow i wonder how many times the protagonist is going to get cheated on before they finally call it quits". maybe i want it to be a foregone conclusion that they're going to break up and this is considered a happy ending. maybe i want to root for love to lose time & time again.

thank you for coming to my this #mythis

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.
