learned today that what the lotus eaters were eating on the island of the lotus eaters might have been a relative of the persimmon and tbh yeah if I was coming back from the trojan war and caught up in my captain's adventure curse and someone handed me a persimmon for the first time I'd also move in

the thing about having moved to germany is when I invariably get homesick or frustrated with cultural differences and ask myself what I'm doing here, I can immediately answer that question with several definitive benefits

which is to say, I do actually enjoy a good love story and sometimes a romance novel has compelling enough characters and dynamics to reel me in. but that's despite the formula. the formula and I do not get along.

I am the target audience of every bozo who thinks "I want to make romance novels for people who don't read romance novels" and the thing is: you are never going to make it work. by changing the formula to please me you have abandoned the premise. that's just a sparkling love story now.
