I know we poke fun a lot at men writing women (and often with GOOD reason) but I’d just like to take a moment to look at women writing men:
Muscles for days. It doesn’t matter if he’s sixteen and is a band kid whose hobby is skipping PE, if he’s a love interest, that boy has a six pack for some reason. Every man is lean but muscular and always have that perfect V. Six packs are free and you can see them through every and any tshirt.
Always tall. Like, we can never honor a 5"5 King. Every dude is like 6 feet plus. Even when the woman is tall, the guy is always taller.
He’s always so much bigger and his hands always dwarf hers. Like, every man has hands the size of dinner plates.
Penises are always like 8(+) inches. He’s always the biggest she’s ever had and he is a Sex God, where he was a virgin or a vampire with a love life that dates back into the 1500s. He will make her cum 26 times, often with words alone.
He’s the most poetic fucker you’ve ever met, even if he’s never read a book or watched a romance in his life. He’s going to spout out how she is the last star in a galaxy of loneliness that lights the sole path to his salvation. He’s gonna freelance that shit like it’s nothing.
He will automatically never find anyone else attractive ever again, even platonically and if he does, he will compare them to the love interest in a way that makes her better. “Joanne had nice eyes. Not like Kelly’s eyes though, which were emeralds polished to a shine that made him think of summer and the fondest of childhood memories in the forest under a sky of jade leaves. Joanne’s were, like, ordinary blue or brown or something.”
He always smells like things that you don’t even know had a smell. “He smelled like sunlight and cloudless blue skies, of cool winter frost and magic sex musk”
He’s a douchebag to everyone but the love interest. She makes him a better man. (Ah, the good old “I can fix him” mentality in motion)
He can eat cupcakes, pizza and beer for breakfast every day of his life and he will never have an extra ounce of flesh anywhere.
He will randomly quote Shakespeare or Charles Dickens or, I dunno, Julius Caesar
He always thinks her vagina tastes like rose petals and peaches and strawberry milkshakes
He is constantly witty and charming and every women who seems him thirsts for him and his six pack and 12 inch schlong but only Kelly will ever catch his eyes and he has never loved anyone as much as he loves her. All other women can catch fire including his mom and he probably wouldn’t notice if it meant one last kiss from Kelly.
Sometimes I read or watch a piece of media and I don’t like one of the characters, so I… Get over it.
Sometimes I meet someone and they like a piece of media that I hate and I think… This is something that we don’t have in common.
Sometimes something I read or watched goes in a completely different direction from how I wanted it to and I no longer find the premise or plot appealing and so I … Stop spending my money and time on it.
Sometimes I… Let go of the things I don’t enjoy so I can spend my money, time, and attention on the things I do like.
It’s a wild good time. I think everyone should try it.
I know we haven’t gotten any official casting news, and I know this actress is apart of another tv show, but I will be officially announcing my campaign to have Mia Healey play Sydney Sage, 2k21!! ❤️❤️
petition to make dimitri 19 years old in the show pls. the age gap is already problematic and ppl who haven’t read the books before will hate it and the show will be criticised for it and young teenage girls watching the show won’t question the attention they get from older guys. also dimitri being 19 and an absolute POWERHOUSE will make him even more cool and impressive
As someone who wrote the entire series (as a fanfic) from Dimitri’s Point of View, I totally support this. I’d might be okay making him 20 at most, but normalizing relationship with large age gaps for teenage girls is dangerous, especially when one person is in a position of power over the other. Yes, Dimitri isnt technically Rose’s teacher, but as a mentor, he does hold some responsibility for her education. Because of that, their relationship needs to be handled with care.
Here are some of my thoughts on making Dimitri more age appropriate for their relationship but still keep him the total badass that we know and love by the time we meet him.
Dimitri graduates top of his class, having already gained the attention of Court during his schooling. We already have canon showing him getting additional mentoring and touring Court during his last couple of years of school. Perhaps the series introduces the idea of him taking trials to become part of the Queen’s Guard. He gets an official invitation at graduation, and he turns it down to become become his best friend’s personal guardian instead.
He is a completely dedicated guardian. It’s Ivan, after all. He can’t let his best friend down. But then the unthinkable happens.
Guardian Hans Croft, who has been watching Dimitri’s career with great interest since he offered him a position at Court, refuses to let Dimitri succumb to mental anguish and immediately informs him of an issue they are having with the missing Dragomir Princess. He asks him to lead one of several task forces trying to locate her and her friend.
His team is the one that find her, and they do so quite quickly and quite impressively. Because of that, he is encouraged to continue as her guardian at St. Vlads and thus begins our journey.
Okay so I thought I could be unbiased about the casting decisions but I just saw a post about who is rumored to be playing Dimitri and let me just say…
IF ITS NOT THIS MAN THEN I’M GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED
I’m so nervous/excited to see who they cast as Rose and Dimitri. I know at first I will probably be upset but I legit cannot wait to see them in character for the first time.
I really do love everything about Vampire Academy except romitri. Like I love the plot lines for them sure but he really did not have to be her teacher/ 7 years older, it makes the books hard to read now considering their romance is a central plot point.
I read books where the love interest is a vampire or fae and he’s centuries older than the woman.
Can we get over this, please? It’s a fantasy genre.
Everyone: I hOpE JuLiE PleC doEsNt mAkE the shOw a loVe tRiANglE
See the thing is… there literally was a love triangle in the books between Rose, Adrian and Dimitri. (Let’s not get into the whole Mason situation either). Like yeah Rose is a strong female lead but she dated and led guys on in hopes to forget about Dimitri. There is a whole love triangle in the books y'all. If she does that she is just following canon.
Now the issue is if she actually ships Adrian and Rose that will understandably cause issues cause those two were honestly terrible for each other. Adrian was much better off with Sydney and Rose with Dimitri (after rereading the books I would argue with that but I’d rather her be with Dimitri than Adrian and that’s a whole other can of worms I’m not opening up right now). But from my understanding she actually enjoys Adrian and Sydney’s relationship so here’s hoping that she respects that ship.
Why are people trying to take away THE LITERAL PLOT OF THE BOOKS?!?!
