I said what I said it’s the truth and wont apologize. it could be argued that in patriarchy a common trauma complaint EVEN IF ITS CONSENSUAL is the EMASCULATION of it all. If amarantha didn’t insult him or punish him outside of the bedroom would he have called it sexual assault? There are so many holes in his story people love him too much to see through his BS. First amarantha didn’t know he has Illyrian wings all of a sudden she does. She’s don’t even remember Rhys all of a sudden she does like this fucker spreads all sorts of half truths… the only time he was punished was when he didn’t do something amarantha wanted like kill other fae and what not. Let’s stop acting like him having sex with her was the issue.
He’s such a fucking sexual deviant he offered his body thinking he will dominate amarantha and he FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT ! 🤣🤣 if anything he had that intention. No hl who respects his penis wanted to put it inside amarantha.
He groomed Tamlin. Tamlin was born during the war like Eris. Teaching him how to have sex with females and all that is grooming let’s stop acting like cus he is male it’s not.
It’s these types of comments that I can’t stand. So I will forever keep this and often remind these rapesandro girlies that I ain’t backing down. Motherfuvker wants to assault people and cry wolf himself then it’s an even field

Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.

HOUSE STARK.
As discussions of a potential ceasefire in Gaza gain momentum, our fears of the Israeli occupation's escalating aggression grow stronger. They continue to target innocent civilians mercilessly, seeking to claim as many lives as possible. Since this morning alone, airstrikes have taken the lives of hundreds, leaving behind countless casualties and grief.
Reports suggest that the border crossing might open soon, and this could be our only chance to escape the daily hell we endure. We urgently need your support now more than ever.
We appeal to you to stand by us and donate to save our lives, the lives of our children, and our loved ones. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.
Please help us by sharing this message and supporting us during these critical moments. Thank you for always standing with us.

What is haunting alison or whatever it was in your tags?
Thank you for asking! I’ve been waiting to rant about this for a while now!
Beware though, dear OP cause we go into a deep dive about abusive behaviours, non consensual acts, stalking, obsessive behaviour, psychological manipulation, gaslighting, rape, and overall graphic themes which (sarcastically) is dark romance for you.
Please do not go further if you are a minor or are triggered by heavy topics like these
Stay safe <3
So, Haunting Adeline is a mature themed book written by H. D. Carlton.
According to the summary at the back, this is what you get:
The Diamond.
Death walks alongside me but the reaper is no match for me. I'm trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren't as they seem. They won't keep me forever. I no longer recognize the person I've become. And I'm fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night. They call me a diamond. But they've only created an angel of death.
The Hunter.
I was born a predator, with ruthlessness ingrained in my bones, when what's mine is stolen from me in the night, like a diamond hidden within a fortress. I find that I can no longer contain the beast. Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her, and bring her back to where she belongs. No one will escape my wrath, especially not those who have betrayed me.
(In my opinion, this already gets very cliche but let’s carry on I guess)
Actual summary however, is:
The book is about how Adeline forms a “relationship” with her stalker while she discovers who killed her great-grandmother (who also had a stalker), while from the stalker's point of view, he is looking for an organization that kills children while stalking and searching.
This isn’t bad, per se, but it is a very hypocritical setting for what happens later on.
Now, as we move onwards with the book, we see that Adeline Reilly lives in her gran’s house where she is being stalked by her stalker Zade Meadows. She seemingly goes on date (and has sex) with a guy who (she doesn’t know about it though) is a very intimately involved personnel in a child trafficking ring. Zade knows this, so, he kills him (if i recall correctly), cuts his hand off and mails it to Adeline with a rose and warns her to not go on a date anymore.
This happens a couple of times, her doing things (not specifically just going on dates, because she doesn’t go on dates anymore either) that grates him, and so on.
Direct excerpts:
This isn’t disturbing, at least according to the range of ‘dark romance’.
But this is where it gets bad.
One day, Zade comes over blinded by rage that Adeline let another man touch what is “his” aka Adeline herself (let’s not even talk about how dehumanising that is), and rapes her.
And I’m saying rape, because there is no other word with which you can describe it.
He walks in dead of the night, holds her at gunpoint and forces her to undress and then forces himself on her. And proceeds to assault her with that very gun.
Excerpt if you want:
This is where shit gets disturbing and frankly, disgusting, even by the dark romance standards.
Note that I keep saying the dark romance standards because readers have a habit to excuse such behaviours and actions by claiming that it is “dark romance” this is what means to read “dark” romance. That such disturbing themes are going to be there, and we should’ve “read the trigger warnings”.
Now, one might wonder, that there should not be any issue with CNC, but, let’s go back.
The question that rises is, is it truly CNC?
CNC is a kink among the BDSM community, which features Consensual Non Consent.
CNC, is a role play of sorts, which has pre-discussed boundaries, safewords, and proper communication between the people taking part in it. Which, might I remind, did not happen.
Zade storms in, there is no discussion, and assaults the girl who he calls “his” by the way.
Common argument against this made by fans are, “Adeline liked it, so it isn’t actually non consent.” Does reading Exhibit 5 make you feel like she liked it? She literally describes it as:
“My body is full of rage, humiliation, and shame—I know this. But it’s like my brain can’t process those emotions, so it’s just choosing to feel nothing at all.
Is this what trauma does? Knowing you’ve been violated but your body chooses to go numb instead?”
I beg your finest pardon but this does not sound like a person having enjoyed a deliberate sexual assault.
Finally we come to the topic that what is the issue of people with this book.
People, fans, readers, are not only idolising this behaviour (stalking, the apparent “CNC” and the rough way of assault) and before anyone comes to blab that “no one is idolising this blah blah blah”— one simple search on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and the BikerTok apparently with Haunting Adeline edits will show you how much teenage girls and other people are fawning over a rapist. (If you still have doubts that Zade is not a rapist simply on the account that he helped trafficking victims, then you need to seriously re evaluate your moralities)
Such toxic/stalking behaviours have been labelled “sexy and hot” which frankly disgusts me that there are so many young people seeing this and becoming susceptible to abuse and toxicity.
No one wants to ban this book, we simply want people to stop romanticising it. What he does is not right, and to hold that shitty behaviour on high accord simply because the Stockholm Syndrome setting sets a rapist and his victim together, does not make it right. Real life stalkers are not pretty or sexy, why should we not hold the fictional ones accountable and then?
People will torch up actual morally grey characters for much less and then go lust over a fucking rapist.
Just because other readers are holding him accountable and criticising him does not make them snowflakes, it makes you look like a fan blind to the pretty privilege.
Booktok has developed a bad reputation because of readers like these, and considering most of the booktok does act as an apologist, it isn’t wrong to say that most of the booktok is ignorant to such characters and their atrocities.
In conclusion, we don’t want to censor the book, or criticise rhetoric writer for writing themes like these, it isn’t the worst of the “dark romance”, we simply want the author to tag it properly (it was NOT CNC) and for readers to not romanticise a rapist.
Hope that answers your question OP! Also, note that when I said You so many times, it was simply about the fans of this book series.

you know what.
I am so fucking tired of rape fics. I am a sexual assault survivor and you sexulise rape. why. why do I work so hard to get better and it all get ruined by some horny asshole just like last time. THESE CHARATERS DONT WANT TO RAPE YOU. rape is horrible, its NOT sexy. its traumatizing. why do you keep talking about it and writing about it. STOP MINIMIZING MY PAIN WITH YOUR DERANGED FANTASIES.
Simon Riley isnt a rapist
Leon Kennedy isnt a rapist
and belive it or not Jonathan Crane ISNT A FUCKING RAPIST
dont tell me not to kink shame
do not tell me to skip it
you cannot tell me that my trauma doesn't matter
STOP WRITING RAPE FICS
This post is like saying it’s a five year olds fault for getting SA. Next time she should have SCREAMED louder. Abuse is abuse no matter what form it is. That’s why rapesands minions won’t understand that he’s called that because he mentally rapes people. And MIND RAPE is a real thing.
It’s stupid insensitive post like this that makes me know that people these days lack empathy and common sense. If the world was built on one ideology we would never progress. Thats why there’s good and bad NOT foolishness.
Once someone is dead there’s nothing you can do. But you know what? Tamlin has moved on for the better of his people even though his mums death will still linger. You know who’s being petty? Ratsand. And he is also basing his assumptions as well.
REMEMBER: we all don’t truly know what happened to those two then. Tam could be lying, Rhys could be lying.
Just because you have suffered abuse/trauma does not justify you hurting and abusing someone else. Cough, cough—Rhysand,cough,cough—Cassian.
I love A Stepmother’s Märchen,How to Get My Husband On My Side.
