(Seeking recs) It’s so hard to find good mandalorian fan fictions. Hopefully with the new movie people have started writing again. Just to narrow down what I’m looking for, I don’t like when authors use y/n, I’m pretty picky when comes to writing, if it’s not very good I can’t get myself to go past the first chapter even if the plot is somewhat good. I’m only interested in longer fics, at least 20 chapters, it’s okay if it’s still being updated. Not looking for anything DinxLuke. I really enjoyed Beskar Doll and Best kept secret on ao3. Anything like those would be PERFECT.

I’m (F19) upset constantly about the lack of effort my bf (M19) shows. I have been with my boyfriend for 1 year today. He has been pretty low effort the whole relationship. The one date he has taken me on was shopping for my birthday, and I think that was only because he didn’t know what to get me, so he just let me choose some things at the shops. He’s bought me flowers only twice and we were in a talking stage for 6 months, about 5 of those months, he would call me for hours at night and walk straight past me at school the next day like he didn’t know me. Today he showed up to my house for our one year with nothing, not even a card or some flowers, he didn’t post us, he didn’t even say happy anniversary. I went and got him the gift he had asked me for, but he said he was too busy through the week to buy me the gift I asked for, even though he went out during the week and got some new things for himself so he absolutely could have taken 20 minutes to go get what I’d asked for. I have had to talk to him countless times during our relationship and explain to him he wasn’t putting in enough effort, that he never calls anymore, he never compliments me, never sets up dates. He will apologise straight away to avoid an argument but it’s always an empty promise because he eventually just goes back to doing the same thing. Sometimes it’s not always bad, he can also be sweet and encouraging or supportive, he’s bought my mum flowers, introduced me to all his family and friends, and he spends time with my little brother, but I feel like that’s not enough to forget about how he makes me feel. Realistically I know all I can do is break up with him, he’s not going to change but I’m just so attached to him I can’t even think about breaking up with him. Not having him there to talk to everyday would be so hard for me, but I can’t always be the one putting in effort first.

I ‘F19’ have been with my boyfriend ‘M19’ for almost a year. Since I have known him (about a year and a half) he has made me feel upset countless times, not intentionally but sometimes he is so clueless and maybe even careless that I sometimes feel like he just does not care for me as much as he says he does. While we were only talking, he basically ghosted me twice, both times he came back and I had moved on both times before he did, but I just like him so much I ended up falling for him again. While we were at school together he would call me for hours at night and then walk straight passed me at school and pretend he didn’t see me. There are just so many more things, I don’t want to get too detailed about everything, but that gives some perspective of how he treated me in the beginning. Now most of the time it’s good and I’m very comfortable around him, but I feel like a second option for him all the time. He never calls me anymore, he never plans time for us to hangout, we’ve gone on maybe one date the whole year we’ve been together and he often decides to go to football on the weekends instead of come see me. We only get to see eachother on weekends and I get to see him once a fortnight if I’m lucky. Thinking about it, we also don’t have entirely a lot in common. There are definitely some things we both enjoy, but he doesn’t even know who I truly am, that I’m actually quite nerdy about movies, books and shows that I love, i listen to metal (which im aware is nothing crazy but he has a very mainstream music taste and would tease me about it). I know it sounds bad, but there are guys I sometimes see in my town who I know have similar interest to me, I know I would get along with them and I just think if I was with them would I be happy? Would they treat me how I need? But it makes me so upset and feel so guilty even thinking about not being with my bf. We also just hang out with different crowds, he has friends he sees often and his family is very close, he’s always busy doing something and has a lot of people that just enjoy being around him. It’s not always bad, he brought my mum flowers on Mother’s Day, he pays for my things, he brings me around his family and was very keen to meet mine, but I did also have to ask him to compliment me, when I would send him a photo dressed up he’d often just not even say anything. In time I cut my hair short and went blonde and he genuinely didn’t even notice until I had to bring up if he liked it. I don’t think he doesn’t like me, he just doesn’t love the me the way he says he does. Maybe he doesn’t know how to be a bf, or he does and he doesn’t want to be that for me. I have been upset about this for months because the thought of leaving him makes me feel so sad but feeling like he doesn’t love me is just as bad. My parents think he is nice but often point out he does not see me nearly as often as he should, that he doesn’t make enough time for me and I deserve better. I just know there are people who can love me just as much as I love them. I don’t want to feel like this the rest of my life but I’m so attached to him I can’t get myself to leave because I know I will regret it so badly and never get over it. Realistically I know I just have to leave because I’m probably never going to be happy with him, I have given him so many opportunities to treat me right and I just never feel loved the way I want.

Hello, does anybody have any good recommendations for romance movies with lots of that yearning feeling. I love movies like Byzantium, I loved the romance between frank and Eleanor, Caleb Landry Jones is so good at the yearning aspect I loved him in Dracula a Love Tale I honestly watched that movie about four times. I also liked Frankenstein which wasn’t specifically romance but it ties in with my love for gothic movies so any recommendations within the gothic romance scene is good too. I also like Wuthering heights, I know it’s not similar to the book and it was more obsession they felt but as its own movie I really enjoyed how much Edgar cared for Cath. I know these are definitely not niche at all but I hope it gives a little insight into what I typically look for in a movie. Any recommendations for movies like these would be greatly appreciated!!!
