@@Briee-v1x BRO this reminds me of a video where a girl show a comment of a person who asked if is there smut in a DOSTOIÉVSKI BOOK, like okay you can read whatever u want but please don't be dumb
@@Briee-v1x I almost always ask if the book is interesting and hashtags/description/comments don't give it away. Some of us ask to AVOID it. I'm sick of picking up what I think will be a good book and having to choose between jumpscare or probably spoilers. There are spoiler-free closed-door modifications, but you have to wade through a sea of possible spoilers to get there. Not all of us asking are looking for that stuff- unfortunately it's everywhere now and some of us are just trying to avoid it. I gave up and now I mostly read history.
I am not defending or talking about him I am talking about trauma dark or not This kind of relationship between parents can leave kids traumatized too by watching their parents fight I can tell from personal experience
@Nezuko_kamado-bloodmoon Of course, I get it. The thing is that that kind of trauma might make you untrusting and resentful, but it shouldn't make you a violent partner or a hateful one. Even more given the fact that in most cases the character that acts like that is an adult who is now responsable for how they respond to trauma and the book doesn't find an issue with that being the case, passing it as normal and even as something everyone should accept.
yall i cant w sinister minister it sounds like a magician gone wrong like hes a regular magician who just wears that one mask from V for vendetta like spooky magician
unhinged booktok girlies missed the obsessed with wattpad phase in 2013~ and now theyre catching up so maybe that says smtn abt society like … are we the bad guys
Personally the funniest part about the quote 'mentally I'm a slut, physically I was terrified of intimacy" from the first post was that its stolen from some random tumblr post someone made 🤭
the thing is after doing some against-my-will deeper digging, apparently the last girls mentors are apparently her love interests, now this wouldn’t be a problem if they weren’t achilles and patroclus…you know…those two guys who are literally famous for being gay for eachother…

9:21 no because i read that book cuz i thought it would be a fun kind of like scream parody, but it was so bad y'all, like i read a lot of bad books to be fair, but that one left me baffled because nothing made sense istg. everyone sucked so bad it was crazy, i was like who am i meant to root for????

As a Pinterest Girl, I'm just blessed that I'm on the right side of Internet. They made me discover writers like Kafka and Dostoevsky, philosophy, feminism ,classic literature, Art and poetry. It's so much fun there. I just wish Pinterest girls were more popular. I swear you'll discover the deepest depths of a girls' mind there.
i find it so funny how some of these topics make these tiktoks look like they're made by homestuck trolls with the level of self-censoring they need to do
I actually love the book quote at 3:54 and it deeply disappoints me that one of the most relatable book quotes is from a book that I would NEVER read 🙃
it's actually was said by one tumblr user, the author saw it and copied it, and when the tumblr user reached out to the author for clarification, she just blocked them
What I can say regarding dark tropes in romance, people with a healthy understanding of fiction can see a boundary of fiction and reality. A handful of people also use it as a trauma outlet. Then there are the people who aren't able to see a boundary and dumb down what the essence of some dark tropes try to convey or be. Of course, I don't mean this comment to shame people for enjoying it, but it's more out of a place of concern that some people can't see a difference.
Would you like to elaborate on how they dumb it down? Majority of dark romance books romanticize abusive characters which I've heard people say when they read these books they know that they can stop anytime so it's a trauma outlet for them but do you mean the people who take these characters and straight up call all the actions romantic which would otherwise be considered abuse.
Im a huge reader like there’s always a book with me but these booktok people scares the shit out of me😭 like I’ve always been a reader even when people used to make fun of it back in the days. Now I love seeing reading as a habit not “nerdy” but if this is what people acting like than i would rather be called nerdy 😭😭
I get that tiktokspeak exists because of censorship on the app, but cereal unaliver took me OUT (is serial a bad word on there ?? or did they genuinely not realise they had spelt that wrong ???)

that's such a good way to put it holy shit
I second this take
I had a friend and she was extremely mentally ill like it was bad and she was apart of booktok (her favorite book was hunting Adeline 💀)
"a cereal unaliver" is so deeply unserious lol

Am eating cereal right now😭😭😭
