cliches.

he's just such a bad, bad boy...

example: he was such a bad, bad boy until Tessa- uh... Mary-Sue came along and sorted his life out!!!11!

oh. my. god. did we not learn our lesson with 'After'? the 👏 bad boy 👏 turned 👏 good 👏 by 👏 the girl 👏 is 👏 o v e r u s e d 👏

and OH MY FUCKING GOD AFTER MAKES MY IMMORTAL LOOK LIKE THE EIGHTH FUCKING HARRY POTTER BOOK.

I don't call these characters good girls, I call them 'Tessas'. I mean, all of them are carbon copies of each other! if you've read one bad boy story, you've read them all.

why are teen girls obsessed with toxic relationships?

I'm fourteen [A/N fifteen, as of sept. 2019] and I read 'After' back in january just to see how bad it could be... I hated it. it was toxic from the word 'go'. I just don't see how other girls like me could enjoy that kind of stuff?! 100+ chapters of:

H - "no one understands me"
T - "I understand you harry"
H - "cool lemme fuck u"
T - "lol no"
H - "how about now?"
T - "lol no"
H - "now?"
T - "ehhh, why not?"
H - "dumb bitch, u don't understand me. ur mom gey"
T - "we're over"
H - "take me back"
T - "okay"

like, how can you tolerate it?! It's so goddamn fucking boring.
