AnimeJune's Obsessions
I'm a published author, book reviewer, and Glee fan who loves reading romance and fantasy novels. Follow me as AnimeJune on Twitter - or read my blog at http://gossamerobsessions.blogspot.com!
((Okay, so as some of my Tumblr fans may know, I regularly review romance novels at my other blog, Gossamer Obsessions at http://gossamerobsessions.blogspot.com . In my reviews, I usually like to include a funny plot-synopsis, and since joining Tumblr and learning the magic of gifs, I’m going to start doing them on Tumblr. Feel free to reblog or post a comment on my first blog with feedback. And before I go on, no, this is not the awful romance I mentioned in my “Karofsky Redemption” post - that book’s coming later.)
AnimeJune’s Obsessions Presents:
Written Review Here.
~*Once Upon a Time In Late 19th-Century England…*`
Lord Vere:
“Hi! I’m the hero! I pretend to be dumber than a box of hair so that I can secretly solve awesome crimes for England! Including messing around with this diamond extortionist’s niece so that I can send her uncle to prison!”
Elissande:
“Hi! I’m the heroine! I pretend to be all calm and nonchalant, when really I’m totally desperate to escape from my abusive uncle, to the point where I’ll do anything. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.”
Lord Vere: “Wow, you’re pretty - but I still have to pretend to be stupid! Crap!”
Elissande: “Hey, you’re hot, and a powerful Marquis to boot! We should totally hook up!”
Lord Vere
“Sure! Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?”
Elissande:
“…Maybe I’ll try hitting on your good-natured brother instead”
Elissande’s Plans: *Let’s All Go Horribly Awry!*
Elissande and Lord Vere: *Compromised!*
English Society: “Guess you and Lord Vere have to get married now!”
Lord Vere:
Elissande: … my bad. But hey at least we don’t have to worry about my evil uncle!
Evil Uncle:
“I’LL GET YOU, MY PRETTY, AND YOUR BORDERLINE-SPECIAL-NEEDS HUSBAND, TOO!”
Elissande: “Well, crap. What am I going to do?”
Lord Vere: “Actually, it’s more like what I have to do. Surprise! I’m not really a moron!”
Elissande: “Surprise! I already knew!”
Lord Vere: …
Elissande: “So what should we do?”
Lord Vere: “Well, first, for the purposes of romantic conflict, I am going to reflect on the loneliness of my existence before meeting you.
…And now I’m reading to kick some Evil Uncle Ass.”
Evil Uncle: “Surprise! I’m not your Evil Uncle! I was your Evil Dad all along!”
Lord Vere: “Well this is awkward. Should I let him get away?”
Elissande:
Evil Uncle/Dad: *defeated*
Lord Vere: Let’s stay married!
Elissande: HOORAY!
THE END
