The secret lives of men who read romance books: ‘My life is full of love, so I’m drawn to them’

It’s often assumed straight men are not interested in romantic fiction – but many are sharing their passion in forums online

Much gratitude to Usman for his kind words. He's a fantastic writer himself, one I've read as a fellow South Asian (our governments & ethnonationalists may hate each other, but the people of our countries are joined by history and culture) for a long time now. I'm so excited for his debut novel:

resident evil: the movie: the game #re

Fan-comic of the Resident Evil live action movie:
“He got real lucky on his route, huh”

First panel Bryan is struggling to hold a lot of the puzzle items from the games. He reads the sheet of paper with the Chess Piece Plug Puzzle clue: “‘the rook and knight are on the same wall and the bishop and queen aren’t next to each other. The queen and rook are opposite each other too…’ so this doesn’t need the gems? Why do I have gems???”

Second panel, Bryan is thinking as hard as he can over Chess Piece Plug Puzzle placements

Third panel, Bryan’s deflated: “can’t this just be like everything else and have a huge stupid padlock?”

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

the main reason i find fantasy lacking as a genre is that there is exactly one fantasy plot worth telling and we already got to it with Tolkien and it is "satan ran across the icy tundra, pursued by the giant spider who wanted to eat all his diamonds"

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
