OH MY GOD, YES.
Like, how are we out here breaking our brains to develop complex plots, build actual character arcs, and edit every sentence to not look like it was written by a toaster—meanwhile, someone just wrote: “He grinned darkly. ‘You’re mine, cupcake.’” and BAM—3 million reads and a fanbase with pitchforks ready to defend it like it’s Shakespeare.
Also, the "Mercury" line?! I nearly had a brain aneurysm. "Please have Mercury on me"—this gem was actually spotted in a fellow writer’s post, and I couldn’t not mention it. Like GIRL, what even—are we summoning planets now? Pouring molten metal as a form of affection? Is this a Sailor Moon sacrifice ritual?!
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED on the punctuation crimes. It's either:
> he said i love you she said no you dont he said yes i do they kissed the end
Or it’s:
> HE. LOOKED. AT. HER. “uR mINe, BAbEgurl~!!1!”
Like... why are commas treated like endangered species? Did punctuation elope with logic and leave the story in emotional ruins?
And the plotlines... oh lord. If I read one more Mafia King Jungkook kidnapping a girl who "never knew what pain was until she met him... but also never knew love..."—I swear I’ll start a parody series titled “THE DARK ALPHA MAFIA CEO KING HYBRID VAMPIRE MERMAN WHO FELL FOR A GIRL WHO DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WATER IS.”
You know what? Maybe we should. It’ll probably hit the Top 10 by midnight.
Honestly, I dared to speak up about this madness because a fellow brave writer finally pinned this issue, and her courage gave me the push to scream into the void too. So yes—I’m referencing her post, giving credit where it’s due, and proudly backing her bold call-out.
All hail to this cool writer who finally said what needed to be said! I 100% support you, queen—you've got eyes sharper than an editor’s red pen. Shoutout to @AlwaysDifferent_ for calling out the chaos with style!
