This year I'm thankful for memes
An orc boyfriend, a book boyfriend that's banned from therapy, and a gamer boyfriend walk into a bar...
Happy Thanksgiving [week]! I’m thankful for so many things this year, like the response to my debut romance, the continued loveliness of my audience here at Forced Proximity, and also, always, memes. PLUS, one of this week’s memes perfectly dovetails with a presentation I did at my friend’s bachelorette weekend (get you a friend who has presentation parties, it’s THE BEST) so I decided to share that as well ;)
Don’t listen to him, babe…
Dark themes ≠ dark life
Presentation I made partially about this post.
I regret to inform you that gamer is sexually transmitted
Not exactly a romance meme but it’s about an unusual meet cute, with an HEA, and I laughed a lot the whole way through. Original post.
I will not rest until all of Romancelandia has seen this video
Not only is Contrapoints an incredible video essayist in general, but this is one of the best long-form looks at romance as a genre I’ve ever consumed. It’s hopeful, it’s rigorous, it’s funny, and it should be required viewing for everyone, but in particular I think my friends here in the romance space will appreciate it.
Next week, I’ll be recommending books with meta themes! Romances about romance tropes where the characters are, at least to an extent, aware of classic romance plots and tomfoolery.
What should I be reading next? Let me know in the comments!
