I like when a character can’t cook, but works hard and tries their best to make food for someone they care about. Simply not being able to make anything, not even a sandwich, is weird (though I did read a book once where the MC literally couldn’t make a jam sandwich).

[(Anonymous)]

Assuming this is about modern day and about adult characters, nah, you're not alone. It doesn't bother me when those characters can't cook - like you said, realistic - but it bothers me when the other characters don't react to it by wondering wtf is up with that. Like if an adult IRL seriously tells me that they cannot cook anything at all, like not even a fried egg or grilled cheese, and doesn't see it as an issue, I'm definitely wondering.

[(Anonymous)]

tbh as someone who loves and despises cooking--though yes, I do know enough to feed myself--I wish we could see more characters who are just kind of blah to it. It's always I'M SO GOOD or I'M THE WORST or MY FEELINGS WILL REACH THEM DESPITE MY UNSKILLED ATTEMPTS and it's never 'meh, i've meal prepped for the week so i don't need to cook, Julie. If you want something else, you make it.'

[philstar22]

I like when female characters can't cook just because I struggle with cooking beyond basics and find it relatable.

[(Anonymous)]

tbh I genuinely don't understand how anyone can claim to be unable to cook in this day and age when you can just go on YouTube and find videos with step-by-step instructions to show you how to make pretty much anything. This isn't the old days where you would actually have to buy cookbooks and rely on them if you wanted to make something.

[(Anonymous)]

I like characters who can cook to their specific tastes, even if we would consider that taste bad. Especially if everyone else in the story says they can't cook.

(no i'm not projecting shut up)

[(Anonymous)]

I love when characters can cook, too-- especially when they look like someone who maybe wouldn't be able to or wouldn't bother to. One of my favorite characters very much has 'I do not take care of myself' vibes, only for there to be a reveal that he can cook very time/attention intensive dishes and seems to enjoy doing so.

With characters that we don't KNOW about, I tend to believe that they CAN-- and if it's a character I like, I put thought into what level of competency and style of cooking, when and how they learned... This character who grew up neglected learned to make gourmet meals with a combination of cookbooks and advice solicited from other adults in his life, that one can do some pretty bare basics, this character has never had to/been able to cook for himself beyond using the hot plate obtained in university but is a master baker when he visits his parents and can use their kitchen, this character learned to do food prep in the army but hasn't picked up a knife in years, that character lives off of toast and fast food until he has someone else to cook for and then it turns out he's highly competent in the kitchen but doesn't care about feeding himself...

Same. And this is kind of sad, because a lot of my fave authors are either dead, dying or getting old enough where they're not publishing books anymore.

[starfleetbrat]

I feel this. And in those super rare times where there is something that I do start to feel that small tremble of excitement over... it gets cancelled, or there is too long between seasons/books and I lose the excitement.

[paperghost]

At this point this only happens to me once (or maybe twice) a decade. I mostly blame it on not being excited about "consuming media" nearly as much anymore, but it sucks how a spark is so rare.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, getting old sucks. As you age the brain finds it harder and harder to pump out the old dopamine, and there are less and less brand new ideas to stimulate it.

[(Anonymous)]

This a perk of rarely getting excited, as this is not something I have to deal with. Now being intrigued, on the other hand, is something I still experience on a regular basis. It's why I've bought more books than usual lately.

I think being intrigued might be a useful emotion to at least consider if excitement isn't happening much for you.

I think it's not particularly hard once you figure it out, but I do personally find it tedious. The minigame is just not very interesting compared to the amount you'll end up having to do it.

I've tried to start reading the Mistborn series multiple times and was so bored I couldn't go on. If he's the new god of fantasy, consider me underwhelmed.

This is the only Joey Hill series I don't like. All her other erotica portrays BDSM in healthy ways with rules and safe words and such. I love that she's one of the few authors who switches things up and doesn't always write dominant men and submissive women. But this series, in spite of having some kinks of mine, is not as fun for me.

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I'm a very nerdy, mostly unfeminine girl in real life who knows nothing about fashion and barely cares about clothes. And yet, for some reason I really enjoy tv shows about clothes. Project Runway. Say Yes to the Dress. What Not to Wear. I don't get it. Why do I find these so fun?
