🥒 We're putting your favorite romantasy men on trial. 🥒

You know the ones. The brooding, emotionally unavailable,

tragically backstoried men we make excuses for on a

daily basis. But today we're asking the hard question:

are they actually morally grey... or are they just a dick?

In this episode:

✨ What does "morally grey" actually mean?

✨ The Depravity Scale: Rating your favorite MMCs 1-5

✨ Rhysand: Morally grey protector or manipulative liar?

✨ Xaden Riorson: Justified secrets or just another MMC

who won't communicate?

✨ Tamlin: Can trauma excuse toxic behavior?

✨ Hot Pickle, Cold Take: Are we just making excuses

for hot men?

We're diving deep into the characters we love, the red

flags we ignore, and why "he had a tragic backstory"

has become our greatest weakness.

Spoiler alert: We're all a little unhinged about this.

And we're not sorry. 💚

🥒 The episode the internet has been waiting for: WINGSPAN. 🥒

One sentence. ONE SENTENCE in A Court of Mist and Fury changed BookTok forever, and we're diving deep into why the internet lost its collective mind over Illyrian anatomy.

In this episode:

✨ What IS the wingspan discourse? (For the uninitiated)

✨ The line that broke the internet—and why it went viral

✨ Why we're ALL still talking about it years later

✨ Hot Pickle, Cold Take: Wingspan genius or cringe?

✨ Azriel vs Cassian vs Rhysand—who wins the competition?

Whether you've been deep in the wingspan trenches since 2016 or you're just discovering what all the fuss is about, this episode is for YOU.

We're talking memes, TikToks, fan theories, and why Sarah J. Maas accidentally created the most iconic BookTok moment of all time.

This is chaotic. This is unhinged. This is Pickle Party. 💚
