Okay, for starters I am not one who frequently indulges in smut or erotic stuff, so please don't blindly bash me. Don't know why I need to put it out there, but just for safety as I've seen the normalization of fetishizing dark content and lgbtq people!
I love literature. Hence, why I'm writing this.
But idk, something about LGBTQ-themed books or depressing bitter-sweet books creates a spark in me. A really lively one.
I mean— imagine the thought of people of the same sex, in love with one another, yet they don't know it yet; both struggling and finding a path to choose, maybe one wants to follow their heart and love the other one, but the other one wants to push their feelings away, mourning and laying in their bed of lies and excuses, just to hide their feelings.
Although what really IS the jackpot for me is LGBTQ/Angsty books. It hurts, but you get pulled closer to it like a moth to a light source. Like maybe a story about two male gods and one falls in love with the other, turning himself into a woman the other one desires, yet no matter what he does the other always escapes from his grasp, and ends up falling inlove with someone else, leading the shapeshifting god all by himself, broken and lost; just like the crumbs and pieces of a delicate fine porcelain.
Be it the unrequited love trope, forbidden love, scandalous, reincarnated, right person wrong timing— or vice versa, it really makes me feel so many things.
I don't mean to make this really cheesy or sentimental but it just fills up my heart alot with so much love. I can't even describe it haha
Honestly, I just needed to yap my heart out. I love all kinds of books and genre (except the booktok kind), but I just wanted to show my love for this specific one.
P.S If there are any grammar errors or wrong use or certain words feel free to let me know! English is not first language (even tho im fairly adjusted to it) and I am dyslexic.
