Yes, just as the question suggested. Me, myself, and I just can't think of this type of dogblood theme to be interesting, i know I've imagined running away, get locked up and papa in bed all days with my imaginary hubby at time but it's just imagination! Plus, the need to shed blood and grit teeth just because mc lock ml up and torture him even tho he's also in pain because if it! *Heartbreaking noises* ugh! So, angst lovers, what do u say is good about this kind of toxic relationship? I've only been chanting 'toxic' 'this is toxic' every chapters whenever I read through and yes, there's only one novel I've read so far since i was careless and fell into the pit dug by my own two hands *ugh noises*
Wait, I'm confused. Are you talking about angst or abusive relationship? Are you talking about like Stockholm syndrome relationship or something? I think there's a clear difference between angst and that kind of relationship.
......why would you want that anyway? All in all, any relationship that are toxic are all angst to me....so uwu
I like non romance angst (family dieing, betrayal, getting dissected, ect.) But not romance angst with toxic relationships.
Occasional angst help me hydrate my eyes so yea I read them . But I usually read ones where someone dies. I stay clear of torture angst/ cheating/ toxic romance etc scenarios cuz those just makes me mad.
Same bestie, i don't like angst in general ngl Damn mad yes! But still i guess we got different taste bud
I actually want to see protags wither and die watching as their harem members are brutally r*ped by all his enemies from ch1. Not sure it counts as angst though XD
romantic angst is the shit. if its a lovers to strangers ugh my heart. I love the falling out of love and the realization of it or where one of them is cheating and the other is just y'know hurting but can't do anything because they're still in love so they let it happen and ignore it. the falling in love with one another but at the wrong time so they missed out on a relationship and it hurts the two of them because its a what if. it being toxic and they know its toxic but they're still in love with each other so they can't bear to leave each other. the non-romantic angst. everyone is dying and they're the only one left and they can't do anything about it. the bad shit that just happens to mc and they can't do shit because the world hates them so it ends bittersweet. on the verge of death but they try their best to live life to the fullest. realizing all the hard work they've put in was worthless in the end so everything was meaningless and it hurts them so much. idk there's just something about angst. i read it in public and start crying but I can't help it cause shits so sad. am I a masochist? idk but ig I love romantic angst because it's realistic. shit may start out happy but in the end life is life and you'll separate eventually. I love my fluff but i'm addicted to angst. wakes me up and i'm like damn this could actually happen, and I'm left thinking about it and the different ways shit could've worked out but that was their end. ok, I'm done but that's my angst love rant(?).
Toxic relationship is angst, sure. But not all angst are about toxic relationship. It's more about the feeling. Like forbidden love, where two lovers don't want to separate but fate doesn't allow them to be together so they're all sad when they're together because they might get separated anytime. Or when a guy loves a girl that already loves someone else, so he spent all day brooding about her, wanting to have her but at the same time just wants her to be happy.
Angst for me is anything which just makes me feel sad and weep the hell out of my eyes. I could cry at a certain phrasing, not even the story just the way the words are said, and I would cry. I return to the same stories with a sense of nostalgia as if I read it 40 years ago or something lol. I guess i just really like the feel of those. Its not like I laugh and cry when it comes to real world people, but fictional ones make me more empathetic (and always sometimes more sadistic).
ah, u mean there are many different types. Well, mine is the toxic relationship one. so yeah lol yesssssss, we're similar since id be dead expressionless if somebody die irl (of course no one i know) but id be super sad if a character die in the novel, if this is what u mean ...xD
