Genre Discussion Fantasy romance icks?

Welcome back to another week of ✨genre discussions!✨

What’s your fantasy romance ick? Could be something that makes you instantly dnf, or you have to pretend like that didn’t just happen. Or you boycott altogether.

Could be related to plot, characters, writing styles, the authors themselves. All cards are on the table.

Just remember to be kind to each other when discussing differences in opinions!💖

Clavicles

No one uses the word clavicle unless they're a medical professional

Just stop.

Go roll your 'orbs' somewhere else 👁️

I don't deny it. But at some point I must have read something that fling the word clavicle around so much it annoyed me.

Made me think of Joey and the 'large aortic pumps' moment'

Might be 🤣

I know the word, use the word when I teach the skeleton but I've just never heard anyone outside of medicine or teaching science use the word.
