This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose discuss the decline of Rom-Coms. We discuss our favourite Rom-cons (a Cinderella story, Notting Hill and 10 Things I hate about you), why modern Rom-coms aren’t as good (Anyone But You) and explain why Rom-Coms aren’t feminist (and why we don’t care).

We are back! and this week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose discuss all things DILFs (dad id like to f***), including our opinions on the top 10 rated DILFS, the reasons so many people love DILFs (they have daddy issues) and read DILF x reader tumblr fanfic.

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose discuss the ongoing P Diddy (Sean Combs) allegations and the complete history of the illuminati. We discuss falling in love with your kidnapper, if Kanye really saved Taylor from being killed by Diddy and why Mary believes JFK’s assassination wasn’t an accident.

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose write 30 minute fanfics about each other based on prompts from a random wheel generator. We both span two different wheels: one that selected the show the character was from who would be the love interest and another that selected the trope the fic would have to include. We discuss and read our fanfics, ask if we are the asshole in this weeks confessions and argue why we wouldn’t let anyone call us babygirl.

the fanfics were:

Mary wrote a rose x her crush mafia boss fic where rose’s crush saved her from being killed in a gun fight and kissed her in the hospital room.

Rose wrote a Mary x Cam Cameron fake dating trope that had the wildest ending imaginable.

We discuss our undying love for dystopian and period drama men, why only Tom Blyth and Drew Starkey should be the only men allowed to get buzzcuts and why Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging convinced Mary that she too could pull Aaron Taylor Johnson.

this week on our segment confession time where we each reveal a confession about our lives, Rose confessed blocking a boy she added on Snapchat after seeing his face after messaging for a month and Mary revealed how she is a Gale apologist.

during our second segment, where we each give song recommendations, Mary recommended Sunlight by Hozier and Rose recommended Last words of a shooting star audio tree live version by mitski.

This week on The Confession Club Mary and Rose discuss why we think bad boys and psychos are so adored. We discuss why we don’t like Draco and why many people do, role play as slytherin boys (Tom riddle, Theodore nott and lorenzo Berkshire) and wonder if we’ve ever actually liked a boy romantically.

on this weeks episode we are adding two new segments to each episode for the first time! At the beginning Mary and rose both give one confession about their lives - it could be a secret, a funny story or an unpopular opinion. This week Mary confessed reading a 350,000 word Finnick Odair oc ao3 fic and Rose confessed her 1 month long talking stage with a boy she added on quick add.

our second segment is at the end of the episode in which we both give a song recommendation for each other to try, this week Rose recommended red (is my colour) by Imogen and The Knife and Mary recommended WILDFLOWER by Billie Ellish. Next week we are going to debrief what we thought of each others song choices!

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose debrief the To All The Boys Ive Loved Before trilogy. We discuss why we love Lara Jean (the OG limerance letter writing queen), the dating contract LJ and Peter Kavinsky wrote that we ate up, our thoughts on fake dating and revenge p0rn and why we love John Ambrose.

We suffered through 100 chapters of After - the Harry Styles fanfiction that was published and made into 5 films by Anna Todd - so you don’t have to.

This week on The Confession Club Mary and Rose discuss the Wattpad fanfiction ‘After’ and unpack why Tessa and Hardin’s relationship is so toxic. We discuss why we hate Hardin and don’t like Tessa, the romanticisation of toxic relationships and the effect this has on real life relationships.

The problem with this book and the sequels is that there is no acknowledgement that the relationship between Hardin and Tessa is toxic and Hardin is emotionally and psychologically abusing Tessa. As a result this series, which is marketed at 13-16yr old girls finish the book with the idea that this relationship is romantic and something to aspire to - it’s not. This leads to girls getting into toxic relationships which is unhealthy and dangerous. We discuss this on this weeks episode of The Confession Club and much more.

our outro got cut off for some reason but I think it goes without saying that Mary and Rose don’t like the story and acknowledge how detrimental it is.

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose review Bridgerton Season 3 and try to explain why Colin and Penelope’s romance felt undeserved. We discuss why we don’t like Colin, our favourite 19th century white feminist Eloise and how she stood on business by befriending Cressida, our no1 neurodivergent couple (John and Francesca) and our thoughts on LGBTQ+ representation in Bridgerton.
