I actually don’t think I’ve mentioned it before but I’m going to now.One of the key things that strikes me as making the “HEA is required for a book to be a romance” a deeply unrespectable position, is how their arguments are word for word pulled from how cishet...

I don’t remember the whole concept and if I find it, I’ll bring it back to y ‘all. But the idea is that a lot of people’s understanding of how to engage with and enjoy media stops at bible study. That if you like something, that means you aim...
