💖 You don’t have to justify the types of romantic relationships that you write or enjoy in fiction.

💖 To restate the above– you do not have to justify your ‘ships’.

💖 The types of romantic relationships you write or enjoy in fiction do not indicate your real life preferences.

💖 It’s typical and valid to write or enjoy romances in fiction that contain more turmoil, darkness, drama and taboo than you would actually want in your real life.

💖 Fictional relationships do not erode your sense of morality or what’s desirable in a real relationship.

💖 It’s normal to imagine dark and unpleasant ideas in fiction that you would never want to happen in real life.

💖 Romanticizing the darkness, turmoil and taboo in relationships in fiction has been done for eons and it hasn’t destroyed civilization or humanity’s moral fiber yet.

💖 If you tell people that dark romantic fiction will erode their morals or is indicative or personal moral weakness it makes you sound like a Victorian era misogynist worrying over girls reading novels.

💖 You don’t have to justify the types of romantic relationships that you write or enjoy in fiction.
