so beautiful!!!!!
Should i read the book now or should i wait for the 5th in the series?
5:17 same here
It is my opinion that sex for everyone is disgusting, but the arousal usually is strong enough to overlook the intrinsic disgust.
i have a hypersexuality disorder and sex repulsion at the same time haha. im very confused with my sexuality, i might be on the asexual spectrum but im not sure. its not really fun to go between only thinking about it to being repulsed by it. i think my main wish is for people to respect people's boundaries surrounding sex a bit more?? because not everyone has positive experiences with it and if someone is uncomfortable with it then why cant you just not talk to that person about it?? i can't really understand that haha.
Hi I’m sex repulsed and have awful anhedonia , this is because of negative experiences with men and also because of surgery that was done without my consent . I cannot enjoy sex and therefore find it repulsive . I don’t want to do things just for other people’s benefit there has to be something in it for me . Otherwise there is no point
It’s like torture being forced to do things I don’t enjoy . I don’t want to have sex now . I have no pleasure in sex , its intolerable to have to do something with no reward
Love seeing Danielewski prod the reader into becoming as obsessed as Johnny Truant becomes with the manuscript.
I think that's called friendship- Wait is romantic attraction a social construct???
What if I'm aroused by a certain body part/movement/clothing, but don't want to have sex with the person nor do I find the individual attractive? Like I find abs a tiny bit arousing (a very tiny bit: I get more aroused by fiction) but I don't even look at the face
1:29 wait isnt that just a best friend 😭
that’s what i’m saying
Why's A little life in the background? Do you hate yourself?
I like this guy and I've been wanting to ask him out but i dont know where I'd go from there, ive only been in one relationship before but that relationship was mostly hugging and holding hands and things like that, and that relationship made me realise i really don't like physical touch at all, i prefer deep conversations and having fun times together, but isnt that just what you'd do with a friend? I don't really have a lot of experience with friends either so that makes it even harder to distinguish what the difference is between friends and romantic relationships. I'm now doubting asking that guy out because i simply have no clue what to do after that, if he says yes
I love this video!! Love the humor and playfulness you add to the discussion. Thank you for making this !!!
I know I'm late but I'ma be real my parents were tryna get me to watch GOT and the fact there was more than one sex scene IN A SINGULAR EPISODE turned me off to the entire show so fast 💀
Thank you for this concise video. I am turning 32 this year and I am a virgin; I am also male. I live in Queensland, Australia, in a regional area. Anything but hetero is still considered taboo where I live, which is no fault of the people within my locale. Generational bias is rampant within my community and not so much within capital cities. I have know I was ace since I was a child, yet the 'don't knock it till' you try it' complex is put to me multiple times a year. My closest friends and family continually use said complex, which completely disregard my self worth and being. I am looking forward to the future and hope that I live long enough to be accepted for who I am, and not a 'closeted homosexual' determined by someone else's sexual identity.
no sounds
So, I guess've you just explained how all of my crushes had worked
This is so much more helpful than any of the videos I’ve watched by allo people trying to explain the difference between “love” and “in love”. Thank you so much for this explanation.
I wish I could have a romantic relationship without having to kiss or having sex... I'm not sure if I'm assexual or just traumatized, because I've seen that many assexual people are indifferent towards sex, but I have very complicated feelings like anxiety and fear about it... I wish sex just didn't exist lol
The Narrator is a 4 too i feel it
I think that the fact that I read TSC in ONE day right when it was released and I am here for this video a month later, still obsessing, speaks volumes. I also discovered AFTG in february this year and I read the whole trilogy TWICE in ONE month so make up your own opinion on that.
i read TSC in one day and then the next day i restarted it and read it again so I GET IT BELIEVE ME ILY
1:18 I see what you did there with Cather (from Fangirl) and her Simon Snow obsession ;)
I am becoming more sex repulsed after having bad sexual experiences & rape experiences
I think Samuel Delany's Dhalgren is weird like that. Later in the book it's like the book is rewriting itself. I guess it's post modern-y if you like that. At least there’s some sex.
Okay, I read the all for the game back in 2016. I loved and devoured it back then but I haven't reread it since. How feasible is it to read the sunshine court without having to reread the first three books?
honestly as long as you have a vague idea of who everyone is and remember the main details of aftg you should be fine! TSC starts during TKM so do with that what you will...
As long as I don’t hear or see it or have people tell me about their sex lives, I’m good. I hate how we are the ones that have to adjust and adapt to modern day society instead of allosexuals being respectful of our boundaries and what we can and cannot handle.
PLEASE tell me you are a Lavender Haze acoustic version stan because that version is so fucking superior
😬 sorry bestie i love the Beats™
"Man I miss Aelin" I was re-listening to ToG (CoM) before the Album dropped and i miss her too. I can't wait until i've finished absorbing the album to get back to it ✌️🤍
you get it 🫶 every day i am compelled to reread tog and every day i tell myself that i am not allowed bc i just read it last year
Jon? Who’s Jon? HAHAHAHA I always call him “Jin”
It is absolutely fascinating to me that we are so gripped by this book series. It has us all in a chokehold but we're all excited about it. I don't even want to mention how many times I've really listened to the original trilogy because it's actually unwell behavior. What is it about this original series that has made us so ravenous despite the fact that we all know how bad the original series is objectively?
SAY THAT but also i've seen some people online being like "um why are we lying this series isn't that poorly written?" and ya know what..........they might be right. like is it dated and mature and a little confusing at times? yes. but i wouldn't be half as obsessed with it if it was actually poorly written so fuck it, aftg is good, i'm rewriting the narrative
@@jennaclarek sorry for the unprompted cut-in BUT I feel like it's not poorly written like in the words, the scenes, the worldbuilding, just the plot. at least I think that's what people mean -- I hope that doesn't sound condescending if you already realised that but I genuinely put two and two together for myself on this only recently lol so WTF AM I SAYING ok this is the end of this comment
@@kevincornconeyour comment gives me the confidence to share my opinion! I think it’s poorly written in a grammatical sense with run on sentences, word proximity, and repetition of phrases. It could be a stylistic choice, just my thoughts on it. Okay now end of comment :)
this is so perfect. thank you for your service 🫡
added the timestamps if you wanna skip around and find something specific!! thanks for the love yall!!
LOOOVEED this video!! also you said aftg is your second favorite series, may I ask which one is your No.1? Because if you love aftg then your taste must be immaculate and I need good recommendations for after I finish tsc 🥹
unfortunately throne of glass will always be first in my heart :,)
@@jennaclarek I definitely want to read throne of glass! Thanks for your answer🥰
@@00butterblume1 careful it'll ruin your life!!!!!! i have a million videos about it if you get bored hahaha
@@jennaclarek i just read a series that ruined my life so I’m definitely here for it🙃 also I will check out your videos!!
Thank you sharing 11 years old m not know the difference ❤
the sunshine court has actually made me so unwell. i read aftg for the first time 6 years ago and it has never left my mind since. i like to call it “aftg brain worms” because this series is literally EMBEDDED INTO MY BRAIN! finding out we were getting multiple new books after so long might be (probably is) the highlight of my year. i adore Jean. adore Jeremy. adore Laila. adore Cat. and of course our TSC guest star Neil 🙏🏽 such a good, devastating book i want to reread immediately
Great video concept. I loved it! Happy Birthday!
It’s not a Taylor release without a Jenna reaction video! Can’t wait to watch! 🙌🏻🤍😁
Ahhhh this book was so good!!!! I’ve been obsessed with aftg since 2016 and I’m still in disbelief that we got a 4th book and are getting a 5th 🤯
literally im rereading the king’s men rn and the whole thing is insane 😵💫😵💫😵💫 i love this woman so much 😭
Love your reactions!!!
I’m with you on Fresh Out The Slammer being the song that snuck up on me as a top favorite. It’s become one of my top 10 at this point almost a week into having the album. I love how she almost mirrored the tempo change in reverse between the end of it and how evermore switches up at the end but where that goes up in tempo, FOTS goes down. And I also LOVE imgonnagetyouback so much! It also reminded me of a romcom movie song, so I love that you said that. 💙 And ILIPW is also gorgeous and should be longer. Low key want to see a music video for both that and Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me.
it's SO GOOD!!! you get it!!! we are on the same wavelength here
@@jennaclarek yes! Definitely the same wavelength. 💯
My first listen I was like that Brittany Broski kombucha meme. After my second listen I was hooked. I think it's one of her best albums now.
exactly!!! i'm definitely loving it a lot more today than a few days ago!!
Been excited for this video! So happy you posted. My favorite is "who's afraid of little old me?" Also totally thought of Aelin when listening
I’ve been waiting to see your reactions to this album. Taylor really said she chose chaos and dropped the double album on us, and I like how you decided to edit this as a double reaction as well. And I love the setup you had in your closet btw. Can’t wait to watch this whole thing! 👏🏼💯
I am so ready for this video!!
Been WAITING for this
😜😘🖤
Yes! Been waiting for your reaction 😍😍
🥹🫶🏻
This was such a good idea! I love how you edited it together. cheers.
thank you!!!! it was kind of the worst to edit but also it was super fun! 😂
Oh I was WAITING for this oneeeee
i have been working on this non-stop since saturday afternoon thank you for your patience and enthusiasm!!!!!
@@jennaclarek your reactions are the highlights of taylors releases for me!
@@andgraciewashername 🥺 thank you for saying that!!! 😭
Re-reading it again!!
