Reads the title….Oh dear….
The age gap discussion in this video is so timely for me; last night I was watching Sense and Sensibility, and I stopped to read a Reddit thread about Marrianne and Col. Brandon, because it's never sat right with me that he's 35 and she's 17. What I've gleaned is that you're not supposed to look at relationships like this from a modern lens, but I think that's unfair, because not only did Jane Austen make it a point to include Col. Brandon's discomfort about the gap in the book, relationships like this were reserved for high society, and so most people thought it was strange even at the time.
I used to play a game with my friend where we'd buy each other romance novels with ridiculous names and we'd have to read and review them. One that I got was called Mad, Bad, and Dangerous in Plaid 😂😂
bless the shitty book club gods for a video that i can binge during my pain treatments o7 thank you for your service
When the world needed her most, she returned
On the switching horses. Your horses would rest and then be returned home by your groom or you come back later to get it. However this system was mostly used by the government (especially the postal system), so the horses belonged to the company and would be changed at post stations.
You should make blackout poetry with the racist one. That's what I do with books I don't respect. I tear out their pages and use their words for something better in either content or the fun I get out of the project. Or send it to me so I can use it for blackout poetry lol
Re: the consent issues in so many romance novels. It was very much A Thing that "good girls" couldn't say yes. It was their duty as "good girls" to say no. But as long as they said no, it wasn't their "fault" tas they liked it. Like, in the 50s when Georgette Heyer was publishing, it wasn't an issue because the main characters would kiss once and then get married. But then books started to have actual depictions of sex in them but we can't let the impressionable women think they can just go around saying yes to sex, so this ridiculous work around where the sex was explicit but the virtue of the heroine remained untarnished because she said no. It started to tail off in the 80s and 90s but yeah, it was a whole, very gross thing for a very long time.
As a little sister, i have personal experience of thinking my older brother was attractive. i even have an extremely cringe memory from when I was about this protag's age of saying out loud to my friends, "If he wasn't my brother I'd want him", and then later being told he over heard me and felt really uncomfortable. With that being said, I don't think there's a chance in hell i would have thought that about him if he had been abusive towards me.
YEAHH PERFECT TIMING. i needed something to listen to while drawing
honestly the obscure-ish horse breeding obsession is the personality trait we all need
There was literally NO good reason for the horse fucking subplot like
as a woman with brothers who has known other women with brothers, i can confirm that thinking your brother is the hottest man on earth is NOT NORMAL ... SDDGDSGSD
as myself a lesbian who enjoys reading straight women erotica, i find that the reason a lot of straight women enjoy the overbearing/cocky/“mean” archetype in men in fiction (not usually in real life, although obviously occasionally) is because it makes them feel Desired. women are not often allowed to
lesbian 🤝 aroace: being absolutely bamboozled by straight romance 😂
It’s concerning that she’s still 17, but believe me - the age of majority in this era, in England, was actually 21 💀

First the almost furry interest in horse breeding and then "he was more handsome than my brother which I didn't think possible" What's with this writer?! 😂 IT GOT WORSE WITH HORSE BONKING TURNING HER ON, WTF 😂😂
