can we talk about how historical romances are almost unreadable now cause they’re written with the 21st century mentality. why is ur female lead talking exactly like a contemporary girlboss & facing no period accurate backlash…go write that office romance & put the corsets down
we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
A 17-year-old student was raped and left to die at a hospital. A girl was killed by her cousin for using a mobile phone. A woman was killed by her own husband for denying him sex. A doctor had acid thrown on her by a lift operator. All of this happened within a single week.
In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.

Until it’s you. Then suddenly, your intentions matter. Everyone wants grace for themselves, but rarely wants to extend it to others.
