I mean is it weird that we like criminals?

No, not in romance.

Welcome everybody to Fated Mates.

It's an existential question for our time.

Actually, you know what?

Here's what I want to talk about

before we talk about anything which is some you know people who say you cannot

have or find interesting discussions on Twitter are wrong and one of the most interesting threads I have read

recently was by a woman named Fand Girl Jeannie I don't know if you follow her I do

follow her I think she's very very very, very smart.

Oh, God, yes.

Like the kind of smart where you're like,

oh, you're so smart and I like being smart,

but you're really smart.

And she had a really interesting thread

and I will link to it on show notes about

essential and she and I what I love about her is she I think must read enough

romance to be really familiar with the genre and this is not really a thread about the romance genre, which she makes really clear,

but I still think it's really applicable to what we're going to talk about today, which she said,

you know, it cannot be that Happily Ever Afters are only for good people.

And she talks about how, you know, like if you only

essentially deserve love, if you are in your perfect state, that there's something like really wrong with that.
