He nods enthusiastically, and my heart melts.

That just makes me think of a dog yapping, tbh.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's probably James? That vampire dude from the first book?

Ohhhhh, that guy. Hmm, yes, that'd make sense. Name and behaviour both.

We're playing bingo with sensitive issues now! You may now cross off attempted non-con from your trigger warning bingo card.

Hahahhahaha that first gif omg.

Also, LOL THE ROOM 2. haalp XDD

yeeah and there's also a point after the attempted rape where Christian's like 'something could've happened omg omg' and she's like 'WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEARN THAT I AM STRONG AND CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF'.

Which... I appreciate that she's saying this on a general level cause he's completely paranoid about keeping her safe, but omg YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WEAK TO GET RAPED. STRONG PEOPLE GET RAPED TOO, ffs.

IT WOULD MEAN THAT THE WORLD DEFINITLY IS GOING TO END THIS TIME!

Totally agree. Really bad thing that she wrpte it this way and didn't think about how this comes across. In general she should've never included it since she doesn't have the best hand on writing about sensitive topics.

This actually frightens me. And destroyed all my respect for the ladies at work who rave over it. *facepalm*

But the absolute two most pressing things in my mind:
1. Why the hell does she call him Fifty? I'm sure it's something I've missed, but... idk.
2. The fact that his submissives share toys freaks me out so badly.

I mean, of course there are 029482039574853847095834 issues here, but strangely, those are the two biggest ones on my mind O.o

1. He mentioned briefly in the first book that he was "fifty shades of fucked up." But since EL James finds the need to BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH EVERY SYMBOL EVER, Ana calls him "Fifty Shades" or "Fifty" in her head all the time. It drives me absofuckingnuts, but if I said that every review, y'all would get sick of hearing it.

2. He says he replaces the butt plugs, but there is no mention of replacing the others. Gross. In more ways than one.

I tried to read the first book and had to quit before I committed suicide. Then I found this blog. And y'all, this the effing funniest thing I have ever read. So funny that I had to try to remember my password to my old LJ account from high school (like a decade ago) so that I could post a plea for you guys to keep writing these things.

It's damn hard to get through, yeah XD I only got through it cause I had an outlet for my frustrations afterwards XD

YAY we're so glad you like it :D

We'll definitely keep going! Summer has kicked our asses a bit! Maya's in the US and I'm in Europe so the timezones + the general unpredictability of summer has done a number on us. Boo, timezones! /o\
