i’m so tired of seeing these 1 second fics on my feed. please give me 20k word fics 😤 i want ART. i want DIALOGUE. i want SCENERY.

I am genuinely so fucking tired of modern books (in English at least) to be mainly romance books. Everything is romance, usually with no plot. I don't mind romance (I mean, I love Heartstopper, RWRB, Young Royals, etc), but when I'm looking for something that's sci-fi or fantasy, then I want sci-fi or fantasy, not romance in a fantasy setting.

I'll be looking through books at a bookstore, marked as fantasy, and it'll look like an interesting book, then it's like "this YA romance!!!".

like. where's the brandon sanderson-like sci-fi and fantasy books. where's the percy jackson-reminiscent series. where's the story that feels similar to harry potter but not written by a transphobe.

where are the books that actually do care about plot and world building and who each character is individually, rather than just "main character" "love interest" "other love interest".

can bookstores please stop throwing all their advertisement towards "booktok" books thanks.

I want a story where two characters are so obviously in love, flirting and all, but nobody knows what their status is, so they ask them weird questions and never learn the answer.

Example 1

Guy : So... are you like... sleeping together? A : It happens yes. B: Only because your place is too small. A: Maybe, but you can't deny my bed is comfier than yours. B: True that. Guy : wut ?

Example 2

New friend : C'mon! gimme a kiss ! B : sorry, I'm not interested New friend : is it because of A? You're together ain't you? B : I don't understand what you mean... New friend : you and A are an item right??! That's why you won't go out with me! B :... I don't go out with you 'cause I don' t want you like that. And actually I think I don't want you in any way. Farewell.

Example 3

Friend : This has been going for far too long ! A and B : what do you mean? Friend : once and for all, what the fuck is it that you have???! A :... a... Relationship? B : what the fuck do you mean "what do we have"?? Friend : ARE YOU HAVING SEX?? A : WoW! B : WHAT THE HELL BRUV?? A : Where's that coming from?? Why the hell do you care??? Friend : I just... B : You just what? Want some free porn? Friend : but you're ! You're just too affectionate! Or not enough! It weirds me out!! A : You're curiosity is the weird thing here B : yeah! Gotta respect people's privacy you sicko! 'cmon babe, let's get out of here A : right behind you honey.

It doesn’t matter if you’re shipping Jegulus or Bartylus

Imagine a friendship between James and Barty!!

It would be epic!!

They would always tease Reg by flirting or pretending to be jealous of the lover or Regulus. They’d find it bloody funny in both ways

Reg would be obviously annoyed as fuck but secretly love the fact that his best friend and lover get along well

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

i do enjoy "living weapon" characters but specifically living weapons who did in fact do absolutely horrific things which at least a part of them enjoyed and thought was good and right at the time, and that no amount of not knowing any better or guilt they feel in hindsight will ever make up for. i love living weapons who are "irredeemable", and no it's not their fault that they were made that way or pointed in the directions they were by the hand that wielded them, and yes they are victims, but so were their victims. living weapons who some people will never be able to forgive, but who still wake up every day and try to do better than what's expected of them. a sword that uses its blade to cut wheat to make bread for the people who once lived in fear of its arc falling on their heads.

“Walrus on your doorstop” this “fairy’s more unrealistic” that my professor just uttered the sentence “there was one day I found a real octopus in my backyard” this man hasn’t left Utah his entire life. How was there an octopus in his backyard in Utah. He then said “I do not have time to elaborate we need to cover a lot today in class” GIRL WHAT DO YOU MEEAN

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

Reading fetish erotica with absolutely pristine and morally upright consent and neat and tidy safer sex practices is like watching a Fast and Furious movie where they stop at every stop sign and signal for every lane change and always obey the speed limit.

no reflection needed.

There's an up-and-coming Tech Giant, called Fenton Works, and Batman is determined to prove that the company is a front for a villain.

Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.

And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.

Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.

It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.

Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)

And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.

Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.

He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.

So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.

Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.
