mine are: (in no particular order)
- Lotus Flower (heard a lot of ppl calling this corny, but idc. it sounds dreamy and beautiful to me.)
- Mishka and Volchonok. (Vaulian my babes. Vaulian forever.)
- Baby girl (nate calls gwyneth baby girl. its sexy , ngl. but i would only like it if a sexy older man i like called me by this. otherwise i would get the ick lol. )
- peaches. (i hate daniel but nicoles nickname is kinda cute.)
- baby angel. (lia calls annika by this. i read it somewhere. its adorable.)
- Mrs. King (🙏 Eli King. no words.)
- i like how Vaughn and Gareth call each other by G and V. its simple but i still like it lol.
- Dinosaur. (gareth calls kayden by this, fyi XD)
- baby. (simple and common, like it anyway)

mine: (in no specific order)
- jude callahan. hes handsome and masculine af in the sweet venom official fanarts.
- eli king. husband material.
- jeremy volkov. hes like jude but with grey eyes and a mafia background. i dont like his personality, but hes handsome. grey eyes and black hair is a cool combo.
- kayden davenport. not a fan of his personality, but hes sexy. gareth i feel you. a total smash for people who like older men.
- damien orlov. his personality makes him ten times more attractive than he already is. i am genuinely thirsting over him and reading other bratva books just to get a crumbs of him.
- asher carson. just attractive. i love dark haired buff men with piercing eyes and brooding energy.
- adrian volkov.

the mcs were mostly teens there. they behaved in an overdramatic and corny manner. bunch of teens doing anything but studying. i know its fiction and theres no problem with it being unrealistic, but it was still executed poorly regardless. the plots arent bad. the characters were alright. but they didnt even feel like teenagers. while i love a good bully enemies2lovers romance, even that was ass. the guys acted way too tough for their age. it was giving wannabe wattpad alpha tough badass 6'8 wolf. if a dude talked to me like this irl i would genuinely smack tf out of him. or never ever talk to him again. astrid and elsa were flat. silver was a bully , she also had her reasons or whatever people say, doesnt erase her activities regardless. i liked teal and kimberly somewhat. the only story i enjoyed is Black Knight.

for a college timeline we can take a look at blackwood college. i absolutely loved the entire setting. and the couples were mature enough too. reina, asher, naomi, sebastian. they acted their age imo. i feel like RES would be much more entertaining if it took place in a more mature, college setting instead. similar to blackwood. dont come at me, its just my opinion.

i dont remember adrian being misogynistic to her in deception trilogy, he is mostly quiet and talks only when necessary. his dislike for rai was because she helped lia flee. maybe theres more or not, i dont know. but i remember kirill and damien looking down on Rai (mainly kirill) because shes a woman. can someone enlighten me about this? i see people simping over them 24/7 despite the misogynistic behaviour , the hypocrisy pisses me off sm. but i think theres more i might not know, and i am willing to know more about it from yall. can someone share their views on this? TIA.

i did read the books but that was around 2 years ago, so i forgot everything. except i remember nicoles growth. she was mean to astrid in cruel king, but had an amazing character development in empire of hate. ive seen people hate astrid like crazy, after reading empire of hate. can someone explain to me why? or can you please share your opinions on their dynamic? some people hate astrid like crazy, while others hate nicole . im not siding with anyone here since my memories of the stories are unclear. but i rlly wanna know yalls views and opinions. TIA!

NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THEM. im yearning for their story sm.

Damien is wild, unpredictable, loves killing and has a sweet tooth. he can also be unserious.

Mio is a sheltered yakuza princess. soft, shy and adorable, also coolheaded and calm like a zen monk. she does kendo training, which i find very tuff ngl. she can be determined when she has to be. she is somewhat naive, seeing the best in everything and everybody. she is usually against touching, but likes hugging naomi.

i think they were meant to be married at first. why mio agreed to marry him is a mystery, since hes kind of scary. but then damien changed his mind for what reason (?) and chose to marry anastasia. is it because of sergei? idk. i forgot. anyway, during his convo with anastasia, mio walked in holding a plate of pastries. lets not forget that damien has a sweet tooth. and how did mio know about it?

heres what happened between them in empire of sin from anas pov when she was talking to damien:

>He trails off, his gaze getting lost, and for a second, a fraction even, I see a spark in his usually dead eyes. It's a fire so hot that it nearly burns me, and it's not even directed at me.

>I follow his field of vision and catch a glimpse of a petite Asian girl who's probably my age or younger.

>She's wearing a simple black dress and heels that match her hair and eyes and contrast against her pale skin. Two Asian men in suits stand on either side of her as she carries a plate of pastries.

>The moment her gaze meets Damien's, she freezes, as if the fire in his eyes could burn her from this distance.

and then he left to follow after her immediately. interesting.

i like how she brings out damiens unhinged side and makes him break his unserious demeanor for even a small amount of time. do you guys have any other crumbs of them? pls share. i really wanna read.

mine: (in no particular order)
- glyndon king. i am absolutely obsessed with her hair color, its like a mix of caramel and honey. i love how she has mixed color strands. her green eyes are also pretty. and her sweetness adds to the charm.

- aspen leblanc. dont even get me started. she is described to have witchy beauty, means sharp features. and i absolutely love her figure, tall and curvy. thats my dream figure right there. femme fatale is a perfect nickname for her ngl .

- naomi chester. im not a fan of her, but she is said to look like yuki onna . black hair, fair skin, and a curvy build. she is actually very pretty imo.

- reina ellis. she is also very ethereal with her blonde hair, blue eyes and athletic build. my favorite blondie fmc.

- cecily knight. i kinda like her hair color and her freckles. she seems to have a monochrome b&w minimalistic aesthetic, which i started to like.

hello, i want to match it with my pink avatar. i want it to match or pair with my paws gun. i will give you my bubbles/wanwood knife in return. i also have duckies gun, cherry gun, tourist knife etc if you want among them. whatever you want. i dont care about its value as long as its got a pretty pastel color.

i first read about them in empire of sin. theyve been living in my head since then. i also remember mio from black thorns. she seemed like my favorite type of fmc ngl. soft, shy, adorable, optimistic and also determined and strong in her own way, and ofc, calm and coolheaded. i adore characters like mio. i wonder how her story with a beast like damien will be like. theyre opposites so they would probably clash but also attract i think. . the tropes are so fire: scary unhinged guy x pure sweet girl, opposites attract, forced proximity, arranged marriage. . .the tension would be peak if she writes it well, that is. any other damien mio enthusiasts here???

just for funsies...if you guys want ill gather my guts and post a type of game (its like those dating game thingies ) hehe....let me know.

FMCs: edit: theyre numbered but not in order lmaoo...i cant decide who i like more. but violet is my number 1 always.

1. violet winters (my number 1 girl omg. they can NEVER make me hate you my baby.)
2. glyndon king (shes sweet and very unproblematic...i like soft and sweet girls sm)
3. gwyneth shaw (i get that shes boring and a lot of people hate her, but i liked her regardless. she had her own struggles. i didnt like her story though...wish it was better. empire of desire had potential.)
4. kimberly reed
5. nicole adler

lol idk why i changed it TT....my indecisive ahh cant decide.

im lowkey wondering if i should read rai's story or not. she might be a favorite if i read it.

MMCs:

1. Vaughn Morozov (been liking him since i got mysterious sneak peeks of his character from LOG. i adore him so much)
2. GARETH CARSON . (ngl he's currently fighting to be at #1 in my MMC favs. a diva. i even liked his mental illnesses...they're a part of him. might reread KTV just for him.
3. Sebastian Weaver. (im not sure if i remember his personality properly..a golden boy with secret psychopathic tendencies. no? either way, he was my first RK fmc i liked. very underrated)
4. Adrian Volkov. (reading his first book rn and i lowkey like him. hes intimidating but also seems to have a caring side (?))
5. Eli King. (no words.)

hello. i found her channel recently and like the vibes. it feels safe and nice, but i want to ask others before i start using them. im posting this to ask fellow sub listeners. have any of you gotten results from her, positive or negative? please tell me a bit more about how you did get them if you did. also, are her subs safe? i dmed her asking if they are, but it seems like she's inactive. TIA.

before my chemistry test, i listened to vipers easy peasy exam sub. i did not have any doubts or negative feelings about her. everyone suggests viper a lot so i decided to give it a try. i was kind of nervous but i had fairly good preparation and i learned some of the most important questions too. but the question paper was somewhat difficult. my goal was to get an A anyhow, but the question paper was so ass and the questions were somewhat unfamiliar too. i panicked. not just that, i got into trouble in the exam hall twice. my entire day was ruined . i dont think ill be able to get my goal marks unless the teachers decide to be merciful. im not saying their subs are bad, ofc theyre awesome and all that. i just think theyre not for me. i just dont think i myself will listen to her again.

i adore gareth. hes adorable as hell. i expected him to be like bran or maybe somewhat boring even. i wasnt even interested in him in the first place and didnt want to read his book but gave it a try because i was bored. and gareth as a character exceeded my expectations. i like how clingy and needy he is . and just how possessive he is over kayden. it was also kind of sexy how kayden could easily order gareth firmly. like it gives off controlled dom daddy vibes (idk what word to use lol, i dont like the daddy word but i used it to convey what im trying to say )

the plot was....not bad, but not interesting either. kind of boring. not a page turner story . i only kept reading to see gareth hate him and then fold for him haha. i dont really like his and killians bond. but hey at least they got somewhat close in the end, which was kinda sweet.

it was smut heavy. not my thing. i also expected the plot to be different, like you know a slowburn forbidden steamy student prof romance. so it was disappointing in this regard. guess rina doesnt like writing slow burns lol. because so far from what ive read, her books are so fast paced, the characters barely have any time for chemistry before the sex mania starts lol. reading it was only worth it bc of diva gareth. i also liked the vaughn yulian crumbs even though i finished HTV anyway. vaughn seems like hed be a cool texter...lowkey....

the dirty talk made me cringe SO FUCKING HARD. i wanted to crawl out of my skin. worst dirty talk ive read in my whole life.

kayden seems to have no noticeable or interesting personality or whatever other than being gareths counterpart. he feels like he only exists to be gareths huzz . i also think maybe it wouldve been better if he was more like nathaniel from empire of desire. he might be like nate somewhat, but its barely noticeable .
