Before falling in love with the hot carnivorous plant with massive tits, make sure you understand their psychology instead of anthropomorphizing it! Maybe it turns out the plant is fundementally antisocial and only mirroring your own twisted flawed thoughts!

A fun thing about this is this is basically the mistake aimé makes in the plot, projecting very human concepts onto something they straight up do not apply to and suffering (sexily) for his audacity.

I do not generally like to just pull random bits of prose out of context of a book to make it look bad its low hanging fruit bad faith criticism for rubes

However

God is this tree heavy with a lot of fruit. So much fruit hanging so very low

This also means she just fucking sucks, as a person. Like just the fucking worst, in ways both dramatic and banal. She is straight up stupid half the time. I love her so much, she's been so fun to write.

Anyways. Adjust expectations accordingly but feel free to have fun 👍

Appearance or behaviour is just mimicry by something fundementally alien to us.

Again, not mad, no one is like, misgendering her or whatever. I don't care, she certainly wouldn't, call her whatever you want. But the fun part of her character to me is she is isn't a human being, and isn't even a social creature at all, she's allelopathic, and anything resembling human

This is mostly compelled by my Official Catholic Disorder, I'm not mad nor do I think anyone is doing anything wrong (hell, If anything this just proves I'm getting the exact effect I'm going for), but I do feel the need to state this for posterity: Rosie isn't a woman! She's a plant.

This man also has a closet full of alarm clocks because he is so bad at waking up in the morning he ends up smashing about three alarm clocks a week.

Mood.

Finally got to a sex scene and not only is it like ten pages long, her pussy tattoos his dick with her squid ink cum

Yessss

Oh man wait until you see exactly how much she's kept up through so far :3

Oh yeah mine does too, but I have to get my own eventually so I'm trying to plan stuff out for the future. Price tag still hurts even knowing this is over the course of at least half a year

Why can't I choose cheaper hobbies ...

Made a spreadsheet of all the gear I need to get for HEMA and then staring at the total like ☹️

That's the video I saw that inspired this, it is so delightful, I hope they make a VR sim of that dude who was trapped in a sunken cave air pocket for 36 hours I love cave horror stories so much

Was that an honest to god Metal Gear

4 HOUR DEFUNCTLAND VIDEO????

For anyone interested, the book is Hollyhocks by January Rayne.

It is objectively not well written. It is not good.

It is however, art, and I have not had this much fun reading in a while

To be clear, I am STILL on the prologue

BOWLING???

She uses them to snap a man's hand off this is ART

I want to be clear this is absolutely not going to be good but it may well be amazing

You had my curiosity book, but now you have my attention

Was fairly lukewarm approaching this trashy femdom monster romance but this has enticed me with the absolutely bonkers drop that the monster woman has tentacles INSIDE her vagina

Oh bless, that's actually a very good thing to know!

Cannot stop myself from shortening Despoina to "Des" tho. Tho at least that's complicated by the fact it's a French pronunciation of a Greek word so who knows if that S sound would get pronounced

Oh thank goodness considering how many times I stumble over it on a daily basis.

At the very least I've avoided embarrassing myself on the French pronunciation of val and Niko's names by just shortening them XP

"eh-mey" for those not in the know

Love to talk about my characters because I get to struggle to pronounce Aimé correctly, only to then have to say it again incorrectly because no one expected it to be pronounced that way

I was legit preparing to start getting ready for bed and then I looked at the time fall would be the perfect season if it wasn't dark at 3pm

Great can't do shit or fuck about it until tomorrow morning, liquid diet day today I guess 😮‍💨
