I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I’m not a romantasy girl. That said, I love people loving books. So with the UTMOST disrespect, I want every guy who talks shit on all romantasy to go pull up the promo pic and blurb synopsis of the show Tracker on Hulu and explain to us why that’s legit and romantasy is laughable. I’ll wait.
