More things I hate about modern literature because today is a bad day and I need to be a dick online to feel better:
How much sex there is in everything
And again I am not a prude, erotica has existed for decades and it's okay but every popular YA or adventure book nowadays is a bad erotica with some low stakes adventure in the background
And somehow they are able to be both bad porn and bad adventure
And also people will promote those books as " yes the plot kinda sucks but there's good sex scenes"
The word Mary sue
The misuse of the word Mary sue
Any attempt to make a "LOTR inspired" book made by a man
Because usually the things that made LOTR good go just over the authors head and we end with basically a vin diesel movie set in the middle ages
This is not just about modern literature but books about or set in horrible moments for a oppressed minority(like holocaust or slavery) written by people who aren't part of said minority
Coleen hoover
She did for feminist literature what Seth MacFarlane did for adult animation
The harry Potter/Percy Jacksonification of children's literature
The magical choose one trope being taken to a magical world did irremediable damage to children's literature
The mean girl trope
Books set in fictional middle ages but the protagonist go to balls in fashion show modern runaway style dresses
You know the tacky Pinterest glittery showing shoulders back and leg
Those official arts of the same exactly white women and the same white guy in slightly different clothes with the same 2016 style eyebrows and the sharp jawline and the nothing expression
Characters being described as "golden skin" so depending if the author needs some representation points they can be interpreted as people of color but if no one says nothing they stay as just tan white
Comparing dark skin color to any food
How many authors try to make at the same time "this is brainless wish fulfilment fantasy about being desired by a hot dominating guy" and " this is a profound take about the horrors of abuse"
Usually by having the second love interest to abuse the protag
In the end the message that stays is any abuse is forgivable if the abuser is hot enough
The "I'm skinny but not hot super model skinny I am ugly skinny my bones show because of malnourishment"
"yet I don't feel any other effect of starvation like being weak and I can carry five times my body weight in whatever animal the author needs me to hunt in the beginning of the book because making me a farmer wouldn't be cool"
"I am ugly" cried the skinny girl with locks of auburn hair porcelain white skin and eyes of emerald green.
The jk Rowling stupid name school (she named the werewolf Wolfy mcwolf in Latin and people though it was smart now we have a girl who fights on a island named island and the archer who marries a fae named fae archer )
And again faes because fuck faes

My best guess for the flowers:
Pink Gerbera Daisy: innocence, purity, cheerfulness and loyal love
Pink Gladiolus: representative of femininity, gentleness, and love—particularly a mother’s love.
Forget-Me-Not: remembrance, true love, devotion, and royalty
Nettle Leaf Mullein: courage and hope
Delphinium: big hearted
Craspedia: good health and wellness

Thinking about that obihoe's post, I love how Obito was sadistic as hell
Like, not even Madara would do half of what he did. No one can convince me Madara would take a newborn, put paper bombs and throw it mid air just for funsies and revenge. he didn't even tried to kill Tobirama, but Obito? "Kirigakure made my only friend crush die, so I'm gonna control their new Mizukage and make this village hell on Earth"
Hell, Madara was disappointed Obito created a fucking war for two Bijuus (one of them would've already been in his possession had he, y'know, didn't use the Kyuubi to destroy Konoha), like damn his plan was to avoid pain and suffering... and you decided creating a war as the right decision?, although he tried to understand Obito when he said "I suppose you had your reasons"
Stop being stoic/understanding, Madara! Obito would never XD
anyway that's I love Obito, he was so unhinged istg
