Hi I'm gonna go on a completely unsolicited and spontaneous rant:

Lolita IS a love story.

It IS. One hundred percent.

It is a love story, not between a man and a girl, but from a man, about a girl.

It is a love story, but it is not a healthy love story. It should not make you feel warm and fuzzy. It should make you realize that love can mean different things to different people, and sometimes those people have bad intentions.

The concept of love, through Lolita, is purposefully twisted by the author to make his reader feel a sense of unease-- just as Humbert twists Dolores's sense of dependency, desire, and reality.

For example, remember that there exists a range of both positive and negative coping mechanisms in life. Negative coping mechanisms are still coping mechanisms. They WORK, that's why people USE THEM, but they do not work in a POSITIVE OR HEALTHY way. Similarly, not all love stories have to be shining examples of humanity and health to still be considered love stories.

The message and impact of Lolita only work because the story is a love story. That's the whole point.

To say Lolita is not a love story is to disregard any and all subtextual and thematic intention by the author, and therefore whittle the book down to a grossly surface-level, performative understanding. Don't do that.

So for God's sake, don't romanticize Lolita. But acknowledge that it is a love story, and that it is a horrible love story, and that that's what it is meant to be.

When you hear about them nudes leaking:

T.W: R@PE IS IMPLIED THO NOT EXPLICITLY OR GRAPHICALLY STATED

It felt like heaven. It felt like i was in my owm little paradise. Even when she made so much of a fuss, even when she screamed and cried and begged me to stop I was in heaven. Believe me reader when I say she enjoyed it too, from the bottom of her dark and twisted little heart. She loved the way i was rough with her, the way I would downright refused to give her what she wants when she told me to slow down. Why else would she hang around with those other boys downtown when she knows I don't like it when she does so? The shared paradise we were in that night will forever be locked in my memory. It was paradise, it was beautiful. Even if that paradise was the dark alleyway your parents always told you to avoid

Hi! I'm trying to write an enemies to lover slowburn, but I don't know how to start it...I have written the middle parts, the jucier parts👀 Can you give me some tips on how to start it? Aso, if you don't mind, do you have any tips on writing enemies to lovers👉👈 Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi :)

Oh, I love me some good enemies to lover trope. But there is some things you have to be careful with, so I start with a little reminder what not to do and then go into what to do and even though you didn’t really ask for it, I thought of some prompts while writing this answer.

How to write enemies to lovers

stay away from non-consensual

they are enemies and will likely be awful to each other in the beginning

but if you want them to be a happy couple at the end they shouldn’t be abusive to each other

because even if they later get together it will always leave a mark on that relationship

forcing someone to do something is wrong and even if the victim later loves to do it in the relationship, it doesn’t change the fact that they were once forced when they didn’t want to do it

Now that that is established here is how to start with the trope.

Why are they enemies?

how do they know each other?

why do they hate each other?

are they literally at war with each other or are they people who met each other and really didn’t click in the beginning?

give them reason to hate or at least strongly dislike each other

you can give them the same reason for hating each other

or spice it up and make both of them dislike something else about the other person

How can you fix it?

now that you’ve established why they hate it each other you have to find out what needs to be done to fix it

it’s important to find a way to make them both see the other person as a normal human being with their own hopes and problems and not just this unshakeable image of an always bad enemy

maybe they don’t know all the information, maybe it’s a misconception that could be solved by talking

but don’t just make them say those things

let actions speak louder than words

for example character A thinks character B is rude and inconsiderate and only interested in themself - but then A sees B doing something completely selfless

Slowly falling in love

it wouldn’t be enough to see them being selfless to make them completely change their mind and fall in love

but it would make them rethink what they thought about the other one and maybe try to get to know them better, because they realized there is so much more to learn and they maybe judged too soon

a changed behaviour in one character could then trigger the other one into rethinking their bad relationship

finding something that they have in common or that they like about the other one can pave the way for a neutral relationship that then turns into something more

so it rarely goes directly from hate to love, especially because this could be an indicator for rash actions and mood swings towards each other that could be harmful in a relationship

it’s more like hate turning into acceptance and understanding and then slowly to love

Prompts

“Well. well, well. Look who came to their enemy’s door holding presents.” “Oh cut it, I’m here to pick you up for our date.”

“I’m scared that it could end badly if it doesn’t work out.” “You’re already enemies. How worse could it get?”

“Why did you save me?” “Just because I’m the bad guy doesn’t mean I’m a bad guy.”

“I can’t tell them. They would make fun of me! We used to hate each other!” “Used to - that’s the important part.”

“I can’t really remember what we were fighting about all this time.”

“That guy is not good for you. Hell, even I would be better for you and I’m your enemy.”
