Monavacation

@thesparkwithin OMG, A mystery and a romance. That's what i loveeee. I think i have heard the name before, I will check it out. Thankss 

@thesparkwithin Oh, it will. It's very very sad. I was sobbing so much T_T

@Monavacation and, i have a recommendation for you. I havent watched Main Vaapis Aaunga, but acc to the premise you stated, theres a hotstar webseries called 'grahan'. I watched it long ago (near covid i think) and its actually a mystery-romance about the hindu-sikh riots. That wbeseries stuck with me too, its still my fav hindi webseries. Now again, this is just my speculation that you'll like it, but i would really want you to give it a try. Its about a police officer investigating the riots, where she finds out her father was involved. The story switches between present (police investigation) & past (romance) and its so beautiful.

@angryCrayons Yes, I read a little of the first chapter of flirt with a loser and am lookiing forward to reading it!

I know right. Having watched so many bollywood movies, it frustrates me there, too how female characters are treated like cattles. They don't have a mind of their own, and it's like there are only two archetypes: the eye candy or the wife. 
            
            And then when I am reading books, it's the same thing, just flipped to the other gender. Which just annoys me so much. Because why is it so hard to find good pieces of stories and media that have human beings be human beings? With depth and layer. regardless of their gender. 
            The fear of 'if' going to college scares me like shit every day as well. 
            As for the writing part, I think  I struglle with plotting very much more than anything else. Like for all of my stories, I have all my characters fleshed out and the writing is something I work on everyday but I am satisfied with it. I just can't plot to save my life. And even if I do decide on a plotline, middle mein, I will again be like, 'oh, wait the other storyline is much better.' then I am back at square one. It's so frustrating  

@Monavacation the way male characters are treated here, that’s how female characters are treated in so many movies—they are either the whore, the good wife or the dead wife of the villain. They are just used as a plot device there as well. 
            
            But yeah, I need to work on how to write male characters. I think one reason why I struggle is because I have 0 male friends, so idk how to write their dialogue. I hope that changes when I go to college (*if* I go to college, rn I'm so stressed over entrance exams and scared I won't make it..) and I'll write all kinds of characters (male or female or trans, even) properly!

@thesparkwithin ikr like for my fmcs I don't have to think much, their personality and traits just keep adding onto themselves. On the other hand, for mmcs I have to think so much. 
            
            Which also makes me think how so many male characters on booktok/wattpad communities have been stripped down to such mary sue kinda characters. They are flawless, can do no wrong, and don't even behave like human beings. They are stripped of their personality and human traits just to be a likeable love interest.

I know right! Like there are soo many things that they can work on but no! 
            I'd really like them to fix their search engine and make it a lil more easier to find books.

@Monavacation I have no idea why are they even doing this—i mean, update karna tha toh personal chat enable kar dete BUT NO NOW THEY’RE DOING THIS THIS SHIT WHICH IS SO Unnecessary

@Monavacation totally agree

@thesparkwithin I know right!
