i'm never getting over the fact that romance as a genre, as the HIGHEST selling genre, exists largely because straight women fantasise about being loved and treated kindly by men and men constantly make fun of this because they think it's just that unrealistic that they could cherish women and that women are stupid in the first place for wanting such an impossible thing

everyone keeps talking about fifty shades in the notes but I wrote this post thinking about pride and prejudice which is basically the blueprint of all romantic novels and romcoms and romantic relationships in media ever sinceβ€”a bookish loner has a fight with a guy that is above in the social hierarchy than her because she thinks he's an ass and he later turns out to be a sweetheart when he's kind to her/helps her out.

many romantic works that are labelled as romanticising abuse simply focus on the wrong aspect of this equation, where they make him an ACTUAL rich inconsiderate arse. Twilight falls in this zone (Bella has only one personality trait which is she loves Austen, how obvious can it be) and so does, consequently, fifty shades.

but that doesn't change these fact that the CRUX of the liz-darcy formula is this: a man will listen to what I have to say and apologise for his behaviour and put my needs first. a man will love me for the bits (headstrong nature, a preference for solitude) that society asks I change. that's the female fantasy. a rich handsome dude will love me for who I am and put my needs first.

and straight women have been mocked for this! for decades! because of wanting to be seen and heard and loved by the men they're dating! and I say straight because while self indulgent romances exist for wlw's and queer men, I have never, in my life, seen a queer person mock another queer person for reading romance. this derision only exists by straight men for straight women because the idea that they could dare to have standards in their relationships deserves to be mocked and shamed.

cishet men don't need a romance genre because their dream fantasy woman pervades every single genre in every single medium, in all her hundreds of iterations where she sacrifices every aspect of her self to fulfil their needs and effortlessly fulfils impossible standards and finally is killed off so he can heroically avenge her before promptly finding another male fantasy to use and discard. but women are labelled shallow for wanting a darcy, when darcy has a personality and friends and family and motivations and isn't dressed in gold bikinis and sensuously brutalised and tortured for our benefit.

In my experience, most of the people (people, because it's not just cis straight men doing it) making fun of romance literature do so because in general things aimed at women tend to be seen as less and because romance is about Feelings and that's not a Serious topic.

I have never seen anyone make fun of romance literature because they think it's unrealistic for women to think they should be cherished, though I suppose that's just where my experience differs from OP's.

Romance is a huge genre. Not every romantic hero is a Mr. Darcy. Some women don't even want a Mr. Darcy. But that's the great thing about romance literature, there's (literally) something for everyone!

Unei’s #1 Fan ButOnlyOnAprilsFools

  • Fandom: Blackstar Theater Starless
  • Pairing: Implied Unei has a crush on gn!Reader.
  • Warning: None
  • Requested by: Anon
  • Prompt: can i ask for a saki that asks like an average fan and is generally nothing more than politely supportive of the teams, but becomes worlds #1 fan, supporter, admirer, etc every April Fools for Unei. like, willingly to die for-support. just for that one day, then after it’s like it never happened. this ask is aimed for Unei reaction but if you think of notable reactions from other cast, be my guest :)
  • A/N: Only for one day? Haha omg, poor Unei.Β 

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

  • You are his fan? HIS FAN? Out of all the cast members, you chose him - seriously?
  • He’s dreaming. He has to be dreaming - there is no other explanation.
  • W-Wait, what do you mean you are willing to die for support? You really like him that much?
  • Unei feels dizzy thinking that you, his favorite person ever, wants to support him. Every time he sees you cheering him on, his heart jumps with joy. Is this what the cast members feel like when they are performing on stage? He could get used to it.
  • Every April Fools, Unei prepares a handwritten thank you letter and a thoughtful gift for you. Your support honestly means the world to him.
  • But when you revert back to not supporting him anymore, he is stunned and sad. Why only for one day? Should he intervene or fight the cast members, so that he can perform more?
  • Your support makes him happy for one day, but his heart feels crushed after that. Is there any way for him to control time? If so, he wants it to be April Fool’s every day!

Meanwhile:

  • Hiding from Haseyama so that they can make it onto Unei’s team: Akira, Taiga, Mizuki, Rico, Ran, Yoshino, Heath
  • Purposely wants to be on Haseyama’s team to crush Unei: Sotetsu, Kokuyou, Menou, Nekome, Mokuren, Zakuro
  • Prefer to stay away from the drama: Kei, Yakou, Ginsei, Gui, Rindou, Sinju, Maica, Takami, Sin, Qu, Hari, Kasumi, Kongou
