anton will replace the emotional intimacy and vulnerability required for the consolidation and depth of a relationship with ANYTHING
this could've been an opportunity for them to finally be tender and honest about their feelings, despite and with the overwhelming, out of control terror. i want to sleep with you again could've so easily been i want to touch you again, i want to hear that laugh again, i want you with me
me when i miss three seasons for a window into intimacy and now have to toss in bullshit like look at him with his mother isn't he so sweet and he's an artist to trick the readers into a false sense of knowing him š
me when i can't write and have to allude to a character we've known for three seasons having this completely different, secret side we can only see in shadows and traces in the future to avoid the work needed to deepen what's been shown from the start ššš are you inventing something @antonatri

I thought that Rainaās story would be about her discovering the truth for herself, reclaiming her true identity, and finishing whatever unfinished business she had left in the past.
Well, now Raina knows the truth. Not because she figured it out for herself. No, that would require too much thinking. No, it was because Octavian told her. š¦š¦
So the protagonist of this story is this godlike being and Queen of Atlantis. Yet, she is the last person to know everything! She spends the ENTIRE story running around clueless, being used like a pawn left and right by these men who were actually her subordinates, and she makes absolutely NO decisions for herself. Zero. She is a mindless slave. And sheās totally fine with it!
Youād think that once she realized the truth sheād start demanding more respect and assuming her authority. But no. Octavian continues to order her around like a toy soldier, pins a dinky little pin to her uniform, and she continues to scream out, āI serve the Chancellor and Ark!ā
Um, no. Are you kidding me right now? You, Octavian, are a fisherman. I am QUEEN, bitch!
Octavianās got the Golden Fleece. He can pilot that evangelion Prometheus himself!
Now that Sunborn has come out with yet another strong woman with zero agency, this has become really grating. RC needs to find new tropes. They need writers who know how to write for women. Itās gross and stupid and so predictable at this point. Itās boring!
And then thereās herā¦ā¬ļø
Lt. Col. LIAR!! She lied to us for three seasons! Acting all nice and sweet and meek while experimenting on humans, killing them, wiping living creatures of their consciousness to turn them into actual giant pawns. Ughā¦ You know, Xander is a despicable person, but at least heās honest about it. He knows heās an asshole, we know heās an asshole. This woman acts like sheās just innocently doing her jobā¦
The Golden Fleeceās origin
Iāve def seen this before. š„±
And that scene with Irisās Tears?
Three rings for the Elven-kings under the skyā¦
Did anybody else get the feeling this was straight out of The Lord of the Rings? It didnāt bother me this much when the AOT and NGE ripoffs became obvious, but thisāeven though it was such a brief momentāfeels despicable. Maybe because Tolkien was against everything this story is about.
The end..?
Reason tells me this isnāt going to get any better, to just drop this book already. But then Iāve already gotten through 2.75 seasons, itās almost at the end. I might as well stick around for those 100 š.
"The fandom seriously needs to learn how to separate fiction from reality. Xander can beat down Raina as many times as it takes heās still just a fictional character in a visual novel. Rainaās got a foul mouth, and characters like her should be thrashed until they learn their lesson. And hey, newsflash: Raina is fictional too... how did I not realize that sooner?
You guys read into the MCs' hopes, dreams, and thoughts, but please remember: ITāS ALL FICTION. If the magic in these stories were real, weād have cured cancer by now. This reminds me of all that drama surrounding Amen,the antis versus the protectors of Remyās weird albino. At the end of the day, the story ends and that's it. It seems like the RC fandom and blurring the lines of fiction go hand in hand."
And hereās a list of Romance Club characters that I think are birdbrains.
ā ļøAgain, if your faves are in here, my bad. This is SATIRE(somewhat). Weāve all had moments where weāve cawed a few times for people. Me included. My great flight of 2024 still haunts me sometimes šššā ļø
For those in the back that don't know, a birdbrain, originally an English slang term, in AAVE(African American Vernacular English) and ebonics, it is someone that is easily manipulated, tolerating the abuse and mistreatment they get from anyone, whether in romantic relationships or friendships. Theyāll even go as far as to do everything to keep the other person. The term is used for both men and women but most people use it to refer to people who act pick-meish or male-centred.
ā ļøDisclaimer: Cheating/Jealousy situations where MCs romance multiple love interests at once doesn't count because the characters will act a fool to keep the MC anyway. This list is just for poly or monogamous relationship dynamics in the booksā ļø
Anyway, letās go!
1. Vicky- Heavenās Secret Universe
Starting off strong with the leader of the flock.
No matter what romance path you take, the male love interests have treated her like shit to SOME degree and sheāll still stick by āem(Alice will pay dearly for this blatant display of tomfuckery and misogyny). This is why we love Mimi. The realest and the baddest. But Alice doesn't care for the WLW players.
On Malbonteās path, he has ripped off her wings(in HS1) and has told her time and time again that heād kill all her friends and sacrifice her if needed for his goals AND has acted on it and will STILL act on it.
On Warās path, he refers to Vicky as Plagueās pet and barely acknowledges her at all before Plague gives her the idea to seduce him.
On Astarothās path, if you romanced Malbonte in HS1, heāll slutshame her, and I quote āspreading your legs for Malbonteā. Whole time, he just wanted a turn. Oh okay.
On Hungerās path, he keeps her isolated and a prisoner in a white room for SEVERAL DAYS, not only out of curiosity as to why his powers don't affect her but just blatant obsession(Typing this with tears in my eyes as a Hunger romancer)
These are the few I know off the top of my head, but you get the idea. I kid you not, I used to be a HUGE Malbonte girl but seeing the way he was moving in HS3, I had to restart the book and HS2 to romance Hunger because your girl was TIRED š.
Holy paragraph oml. Iām so sorry. To the next character!
2. Fencio- Heavenās Secret Universe
Second in command ššš¾
He really thought Rebecca was gonna let him hit just because he helped her a lil bit and didn't marginalise her for being unclaimed. Good sis didn't even owe him SHIT. He had no idea she was gonna play in his face. What did Megan Thee Stallion say? āBitches is bitter they thought it was sweet. All of a sudden they vegan, they donāt want beefā Yeah š¤š¾š¤š¾š¤š¾š¤š¾
That was actual feminism.
Alice has many flaws as a writer, but she ate that lil one thang with Rebecca.
Fencio crashed out about it so bad, he went to go on to be the reason that Vicky died and Malbonte got revived. Is it ever that deep? š
3. Cain- Heavenās Secret Universe
Yes, Cain. Thatās why he has wings š¤·š¾āāļø
That's my bestie, don't get me wrong. Iām hella maternal about him, but if youāre romancing him and Abel at the same time, Lane stay PLAYINNNGGGGG in his face.
But, heās right where he wants to be, though, and honestlyā thatās growth š±. (Bye, Iām corny š)
This man will get jealous, want exclusivity, etc etc, but he wonāt call it off. Oh okay.
4. Ingegerd, The High Priestess- And The Haze Will Take Us
A crow, if you will
Did all that shit for the gods, killing Vereya, killing her OWN sister, sacrificing her OWN granddaughter, making animal sacrifices, causing insecurity among the villagers(Iām finna be 40 before this list finishes) just for the sky dadas and mamas to watch it all unfold looking like this:
I HATE this old lady so fucking much
All those sacrifices just for them to STILL not gaf. Ingy, youāre fading.
5. Raina(On Xanderās Path)- Advent No 3
āHe beats me, sees me as a toy and calls me misogynistic slurs, but it's okay because I'm physically and sexually attracted to him and he has mommy issuesā Oh okay.
(Xander fans don't kill me. I just like bashing this manšš)
Not just Xander, though, with Zane too(As a Zane girlie myself). She tweets at most and thatās okay. Thatās still my wife š¤š¾ā¤ļø.
6. Eragon- Heavenās Secret Universe
Oh, Shephaās his dadaman.
He gives such āI know where home isā mentality š.
Yeah, youāre the reason for the segregation of Angels and Demons and why I still uphold said segregation in my actions and words even after Malbonte and Vicky won the fight, and youāre hella complacent in the happenings of your creations and only react after one of them dies or gets injured, and you handled the existence of Malbonte so poorly that it led to your demise, and youāre basically the reason for the current Heavenās Secret Timeline, and you and your bastard brother defying the Mother of Life led to the creation of the Horsemen and the reason I co-formed the resistance group in the first place, but Praise Shepha! Yay!
Someone kill this man off before I get really angry. Get Eragon tf off my screen.
7. Lily- Waterlily
Gets jealous when Riley talks to the Love Interests. Is also the reason the Love Interests are my friends/I have a crush on them. Oh okay.
She needs to run my fade.
Iād rather die than let you haunt me and take my white-collar, submissive white boyfriend, Declan away from me, bitch. Donāt even. And hands off Luna too, hoe. That's my platonic girlfriend. Youāre ruining my black girl solidarity(Because I picked the African American Riley. I WILL be black in every game I play, thangya). Just go ahead and call me nigga while youāre at it.
8. Austie- Heavenās Secret Universe
Now, I don't know much about Austie but I did know that both Malbonte and Lucifer played in her face and she got mad when they both ended up with Vicky š.
I do feel bad for her because sheās just a girl looking for love(And power, ahem š), but my god she was really squaking in those books ššš¾.
9. Plague- Heavenās Secret 2
Finishing off strong and bittersweet with Plague. All the things she did, she did not only for power, but to earn the favour of the Mother of Life and the respect of her brothers. All of them, even the Mother herself saw her as the weakest link and constantly demeaned her which has greatly affected her.
It's a shame that she was killed by her own brother and at a point when she was finding love in Kira.
Donāt get me wrong, Plague is a HORRIBLE, horrible person(And y'all asking Alice to make her a Love Insterest???) but sheās a victim to the system and expectations imposed on her as much as Malbonte was.
If you made it to the end, thank you for your time and thank you for putting with my tomfuckery if you follow me or youāve seen my posts harrassing your feed(Iām sorry for spamming. I have so many ideas ššš). Feel free to add or take from the list and agree or disagree with me.
