I Enjoy Novels With A Bit Of Romance Just Like The Next Guy, But I'm Getting Sick Of Reading The Same

I enjoy novels with a bit of romance just like the next guy, but I'm getting sick of reading the same lame ass relationship dynamic where a masculine man with anger issues and overprotective tendencies (that end up paying off in the end) is with a feminine woman who has little to no personality besides sarcastic comments and sex appeal (and was obviously written by a man who had no idea how to write women).

That being said, does anyone have any book recommendations featuring a relationship dynamic that's more interesting and less misogynistic? Preferably where the woman is the dominant, masculine one in the relationship and the man is softer and more feminine.

(Bonus points if there's a kidnapping involved. I eat that shit for breakfast.)

Hey just checking in want to make sure you're doing ok :D

HAHA I'M DANDY.

(All jokes aside tho, I really appreciate the ask 🖤 hope you're doing better than I am)

Sometimes I think having no friends would just be easier like I'm sick of running after friends who don't try back and people randomly disappearing on me

Id go insane without people though

I've listened to almost nothing but this one album for the past few weeks and was about to explode if I didn't post about it, so this is actually wonderfully timed.

"The Normal Album" by Will Wood I highly recommend. It makes me feel understood in a way I didn't know was possible and now I need to listen to every other thing that euphoric psychotic cross dresser ever put out because he's wonderful and makes me want to eat glass 😶

Anyways.

What if they secretly hate me and are forced to hangout with me just so I don’t kms

[ID: A chart captioned, “Sad and queer? Look on the bright side!” The chart is divided into two columns: “instead of (x)”, “say (y)”. The “instead of” column gives the examples, “I’m clinically depressed. My tiny hometown is a hell hole. I am full of existential terror. My friends are all moving on but I’m not and I’m terrified I’ll be here forever. I have one million mental illness and a genetic predisposition to addiction, which is a bad combination.” In response to all of this, the right column says to say, “This would make a great folk punk song.” End ID.]
