What a dainty kawaii uwu woma-girl š¬Hand-span waist with goodies. same woman was described as having deep breasts and used loins later in the book in a sex scene
I vaguely recall a mention in the Little House books, too. Something about Ma getting dressed for a party and saying after her corset was laced Pa could span her waist with his hands. Or could when she was younger.
I think it was without a corset? But itās also been a while. And I think it was said in context of her sisters talking jealous shit about her. So thatās awesome.
"Well this is not so bad, at least she's 24, it's not sounding so bad... oh my God, Christ, the holy Mary and all the saints. What did I just read. What the heck is a "swelling goodie"? Did a pack of bees sting her in very specific areas?"
Awful imagery but also Ā«Ā she had one of those hearty figures typical of a certain type of a small girlĀ Ā»? Could you be more vague?
She was a goth with piercings typical of a type of goth
He was a cat with eyes typical of a type of cat
He was a man with a brain typical of a type of man
Honestly the weirdest part to me is āskin like creamā. I will never get over how weird it is to compare skin tones to food. Just so odd. Am I supposed to want to eat them???
Dear u/Gloomy_Rent8248, the readers agree, this man has written a woman badly!
Used loins is its own level of ick.
Nightmare in Pink? More like "Nightmare in Ick"
I always think of Joey in Friends reading Rachelās romance novels when I see that word!
It was a little weird noting that a 24 year old looked different to a 12 year old. Duh?
But then it had to get creepy.
"I had seen a picture of her at age 12. At twice that, she had changed." From age 12 to age 24? I certainly hope she'd have changed! š¤Ø
But thankfully she hadnāt changed TOO much. /s š¤®
Any adult who refers to breasts as "goodies" needs to go straight back to kindergarten.
He should definitely not go near a kindergartenĀ
Yup they sound like they should be on some list
Kindergarten? Aren't people only sent there after they've been weaned?
I swear to god, if not for it being published in this sub, I wouldn't even know what goodies referred xD
I made an actual face at that description. Yoikes.
Apparently itās his daughter?
Deep breasts? So, they go inwards? š¤
Jack, drink soup from my chest like one of your French girls.
French onion girls
This writing is definitely a nightmare.
hand span waist is such an 80ās bodice ripper description. Literally unlocked a memory of my momās Bertrice Small books.
I vaguely recall a mention in the Little House books, too. Something about Ma getting dressed for a party and saying after her corset was laced Pa could span her waist with his hands. Or could when she was younger.
Been awhile since I read it

Nah, it was definitely with a corset. Because Laura was complaining about her own corset.
I think it was Ma's wedding day and she was tight-laced to the point that Pa could encircle her waist with his hands. Ouch.
The writing makes it seem like Mike also has a small defiant face and creamy skin.
He's such a dreamboat
Nope who wrote this a pedo?
The way women are portrayed in the mcgee series is undoubtedly infantilising and sus
Ahh ok never read it so idk
36-24-36? Only if she's 5"3
a hand-span waist is what, like, 12 inches? that would be concerning even for a child
"Well this is not so bad, at least she's 24, it's not sounding so bad... oh my God, Christ, the holy Mary and all the saints. What did I just read. What the heck is a "swelling goodie"? Did a pack of bees sting her in very specific areas?"
Can't wait for LavenderTowne to draw this
what the heck is 'bouffante little girl'?? context please? for non-english first speaker?
btw, this is one of the the worst ive read in menwritingwomen
Probably referring to a child having big, curly hair.
aah i see, thanks!
Pedo ass writing. Wtf is this shit.
Awful imagery but also Ā«Ā she had one of those hearty figures typical of a certain type of a small girlĀ Ā»? Could you be more vague?
She was a goth with piercings typical of a type of goth He was a cat with eyes typical of a type of cat He was a man with a brain typical of a type of man
It means nothing
I got stumped on that too. Sounds gross and sus
Goodies. Jesus.
I've seen hand-span waist in a tight-laced corset IRL. It looks utterly bizarre and terrifying. Please no!
Goodies above and below the waist? As in two pairs of boobs? I'm so confused.
I was definitely picturing abdominal boobs with this description lol
Hips. Hips and buttocks.
Honestly the weirdest part to me is āskin like creamā. I will never get over how weird it is to compare skin tones to food. Just so odd. Am I supposed to want to eat them???
Wait...you don't want to eat them?
Blue blue eyes? Did an actual human write this?
Eww š·
Nightmare in Black and White by John Macdonald
While this is, in fact, disturbing, who is supposed to be the attractive one? Because sounds like the author wishes it was the creepy guy.
Blue-black hair?
Black hair with a cool undertone, as opposed to black hair with a warm/brown undertone
Eew
Yup! Setting the women up to be ādevouredāš
How can breasts be ādeepā? Are they concave into her chest?
Horrible description
"goodies" jesus christ.
"rich, solid swell of goodies" and "small girl" don't go together brooo
Not the "swell of goodies"! š
Lol wtf
This is one of the least egregious things MacDonald has written about women.
idk why, but this is deep
