  • I think romance in fiction is really hard to do well because you somehow have to get across the fact that every romance is different, unique, and often doesn’t make too much sense except to the people involved.

    A “realistic” romance can be realistic to the author but be filled with very idiotic choices that makes the reader find the romance not realistic at all

    Similarly, an “ideal” romance might be written as perfect for the author and certain readers feel it’s the least romantic thing in the world.

    This looks like a lose-lose but all I’m trying to say is that regardless of what you pick, to me, the most important aspect is getting across that this relationship is entirely between the two characters and difficult to get across to the reader. That’s why, to me, romances in stories often work when they aren’t the main plot as it lets the reader fill in the gaps of how that romance evolved.


  • I don’t know any of the anime but my best guess is that the anime are in the same genre of as the Adam Sandler movies to their left. The idea is that Adam Sandler movies are full of sex “jokes” but the anime is the only one that gets dismissed for that.

    It doesn’t make too much sense. I mean, the meme defeats itself as all the anime covers have little girls on them and I’ve seen enough anime to know what sort of sex “jokes” the animes make compared to the Adam Sandler movies. Maybe the meme is self aware of that idk.
