when movie coriolanus said, ‘snow lands on top,’ cindy really took it serious. (and so did we all, let's be honest)
Snow lands on top ... Of ME
I mean I was stoned out of my mind so my first throught when I saw that movie in theaters was "Did he just say he was going to top Peter Dinklage???"
Still can't gets over the fact his name is coriolANUS😭😂
“She falls in love with him too, the minotaur she’s milking”
Top tier sentence, no notes
Things I never thought I'd say
Never thought I’d hear Minotaur and milking in the same sentence, but here we are. We’re living wild 😂
its giving Pasiphae vibes
This is what you went school to prepare for
I busted out laughing when she said that
it IS controversial to say that you would marry a coho love interest, but as you moved the book to the lowest tier, the controversy is forgotten
Phew that was a close one
New to this channel and read your comment before watching, I legit thought there was a book where the main guy was some kind of salmon furry
“You want a man who is all in for you.” I’m 52 and on my second marriage, and honestly this is the BEST advice for anyone who considers committing to a man.
Proud of u for leaving ur first marriage when u realized u deserved better ❤️
when i'm 52 I wanna be like you, divorce any man who doesn't deserve me, watch tier lists of book love interests and leave wholsome comments ❤
We love this for you!
💗💗💗 :)
Cindy having more candidates that she'd marry rather than kill was a complete shock to me, and also a green flag in her taste in books lol
I was surprised too
It’s called character development in romance bbyy😂
Sometimes I think I would love to write a shitty romantasy book with all the red flags I can come up with just to eat popcorn while I watch Cindy tear it to shreds. If you ever come across a book where the main guy is an aloof CEO with boundary issues and a praise kink who’s actually a chupacabra in a trench coat, you’ll know it was me.
😂😂😂
Chupacabra?!
You had me at chupacabra though....
I know multiple facebook groups who'd be obsessed
I also think about writing a trashy completely unserious romance book all the time
And now for part two: randomly pairing them all up with each other and guessing how the relationship turns out.
Isn't that how fanfic starts
@@withcindy Random number generator gave me the book version of President Snow x the minotaur from Morning Glory Milking Farm. Have fun, everyone!
This is my favorite way of interacting with men: fictionally and sarcastically.
The only valid way
Nothing like seeing other people slander fictional men
It's what I'm here for
"You know how rare it is for a man to look better as blonde instead of a brunette"
That's the point I'm ALWAYS bringing up when it comes to Tom Blyth's hotness
Tom Blyth in his Blonde with that Red Outfit had no business making me audibly gasp. He’s so beautiful!
He rly is handsome!!
And he was STILL HOT in his shaved head "Paneminem" era?? unfair.
@@justmaddiereadingpaneminem😭😭😭
Cindy has her quiver of arrows and bow ready to aim at President Snow (the book version).
But with the movie version... I shall have bad aim
Omg I used to see you on Ali Abdaal's comments back in the day! Haven't watched his videos in years haha... Now I'm seeing you here! Funny coincidence
@@kenzahcarstairs5417 Happy to see you!
My first mistake was assuming "milking minotaurs" actually meant getting real milk from them. Oops. 😅
U sweet summer child
I’ve noticed that getting real milk in these kinds of stories is usually reserved for women, in the sense that women/female characters get milked, so it does come up. Kinda like an adjacent genre.
I love how we're all in agreement we'd all jump book Coriolanus Snow, but movie Snow.... That's a different story because those blond curls had me questioning my morals 😅
remember who the real enemy is
@@withcindyit’s the buzzcut
For me it was the bleached buzz, like the lake scene had me pausing to tell myself to remember that all that turns into an old creepy man with blood blisters in his mouth.
@@ky_c_c fr, same, because the curls had me questioning, the buzzcut straight up made me forget
Nah cause movie Snow was A BOYFRIEND, an MMC 😂
Tier ranking love interests? Oh boy. Lemme sit down for this one
Turns out I had a lot to say
I can't deal with your straight-faced explanation of the milking farm. 😆
They milk on that farm for science!
realizing that you mixed up two colleen hoover romances and still ultimately putting all three of them in the same F tier is the funniest thing to me. like yea that checks all of these men can burn in hell (except the homeless guy in it ends with us)
so true so true
was going to make a joke about how the rattail author went through something when she watched anakin skywalker in the prequels and then realised you meant an actual rat tail like a limb
ya.........
SEPERATE TIER VIDEO FOR THE WOMEN AND ENBYS 🙌🏻
Don't need to make a tier when I date them irl AYOOOOO
I didn't realize the plot was switched until I heard Nov 9, then I was like that was the one she talked about earlier. I guess CoHo books are interchangeable 🤣
You're so well-spoken and intelligent. I love to hear you speak.
Video didn't disappoint
All coho books become a toxic blur at this point
I like how Cindy could use editing magic to mostly cover this mistake but she keeps it real.
The way that Reylo authors dominate the top tier 🎉
no the second she said it was the worst love interest i knew it was actually November 9 😂😂😂😂
Milking farm is on the thinline of either being a furry smut or a straight up zoo book like it's really thin
Turns out I'm not into zoos
I was so worried the book was gonna be what it sounded like and it was exactly that
It’s sounds rapey like dairy farms...I hope not
Am I a lesbian? Yes. Do I relate deeply to everything you said? Yes
And that's solidarity
Searching RUclips for something to watch while having dinner… 36 minutes of Cindy ranking love interests? Yes. This will do.
Whatcha eating for dinner? I'm eating chickpeas and green beans rn
Just some take out of noodles and chicken. Yours sounds tasty and definitely healthier 😂
I ate dinner while watching this! ❤
"we don't need another J name to exist"
And you're so right for that 💅
A man with a j name is a red flag
What about Jesper Fahey?
@@lilil9752only exception 💚
Jem Carstairs is exempted, right? Right? 😭 Because 28 year old me is just as in love with him as my 16 year old self was 😫
James Herondale😥
Tom Blyth is SO GOOD in the movie that I was falling for Snow and had to jolt myself back to reality.
REMEMBER WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS
@@withcindy Snow always lands on top.
In multiple ways.
Oh when the world needed her most.. Cindy provided 😫😫😫
I'm here to save 2024
You have no idea how badly I need that Ice Planet Barbarians video, Cindy 🤣 That series has me in a chokehold.
I'll prob do a recap video of the series at some point
You're so real for the Snow assessment 😂😂 cause same.
Thank u for understanding
i was fuming that tom blyth wasn't nominated at the people's choice awards (when simu liu in barbie was???), and some people were trashing his acting but this made me feel so much better
eww not a fan of simu liu based on some of his incel takes
@@withcindyWait what I know so little about this man please ruin him for me 👀
@@delightfulmochasi think he justified p*do once, idk, i didn't want to learn about him either
omg what did simu do or say
@@withcindy wait no, now i need to know about this now 👀
For the Cursed Princess Club, he does redeem himself, and it’s more about the main princess trying to love herself. And I’m down for a story about self confidence. So, I highly recommend continuing with the story! It’s really good
yes!! such a nice read 😭😭
THIS HAS TO BE A YEARLY THING, I was on the floor laughing, this was too good
I'll make sure to do it yearly just for you
@@withcindyand for me!!
I never thought I’d hear the sentence “feeling that rat tail curl around my limb would sober me the fuck up” 🤣 thank you
Forever scarred over the fact I gave Verity to my mom for Christmas
Omg
She said it was an "intense" book hesitantly when I asked if she finished it. That's when I looked for reviews for it. Thats when my life ended.
Wtf is wrong with you?! 😭✋🏻😭✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
That poor woman. 🥲
Usually, it’s the parents that give their child trauma. You, on the other hand….
😂 I was waiting for your realization that you spoke about November 9, but your surpassed my expectations 😂 the paused with slow zoom just made me laugh so loud. I will blame you if my neighbors hates me for waking them up from their sleep 😂
the way its just a tumbleweed rolling thru my brain
The way Love Theoretically literally altered my brain chemistry will forever be my roman empire. I relate so much to Elsie and would nothing more than to have a repressed hottie like Jack pining after me
Maybe u do have a repressed hottie pining after u but u have no idea bc ur oblivious like Elsie!!
'being morally against man in real life' 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved this video please make this a yearly thing
The rat tail revulsion is deeply relatable. When I was in kindergarten as a 4 and a half year old, there was a year 6 guy with a rat tail that I would go out of my way to avoid because of how viscerally gross I found his rat tail. He was probably a perfectly nice person 😂
It's worse, my fictional character has a literal rat tail, like a rodent
@@withcindy Ah 😆
@@withcindythank you for clearing that up as I wasn't certain if you meant the hairstyle or a literal rat tail. 😂
I didn't expect Frederick from Cursed Princess Club in here lol. When he was introduced, the Webtoon readers were all "Nope, nope, nope". It takes a long time for him to be a viable love interest, and it takes a lot of character development. So he does get better, but you won't see that in volume 1.
The mischievous chuckle and her hand covering her mouth is sending me whenever she puts something in the would bang no drinks 😅
hehehehe 🤭
Cindy one day you gotta do a tier ranking for girlboss characters or himbos from the books you've read so far.
31:00 girl, its okay, that man had all of us blushing out the theatre💀 we understand, u dont have to explain it so much😭
😭😭 sorry he just made me so smitten!!
Its alright, I was the same, the shame of simping for Snow of all people was messing with our brain-mouth connection😭
Personally, I would kill Snow in both the book and the movie adaptation 💀🤣 personally, I saw book Snow and movie Snow as two different perspectives of the same person rather than two different people. I think his portrayal in the movie shows how someone can appear very different when you aren't inside their head. Of course he'd seem like just a tragic hero to those who never took a look at what was going on inside his head. I also like his portrayal in the book far more than in the movie. I almost hated movie Snow more because I was fully aware of how two-faced his slice of bread ass actually is 💀 It was nice to read a villian who wasn't romanticized. He was bad through and through, even when he was faced with genuinely good influences and differing opinions. Some people are just straight up evil, and it was nice to see a character who was portrayed as just that because unfortunately, that's the reality
I feel like the changes the movie made to the actions that he does makes him seem like a more normal sympathetic person instead of a villain, which is why I don't really see him at the same character as the book! I even saw an interview where the actor said hearing Lucy Gray singing made snow want to protect her. And I would never believe that for the book version of snow lol
@@withcindylol, completely fair. The actor is hot as all hell though 🫠
the stare when you realised your CoHo book mistake had me cry laughing. also 'ice planet barbarians' just sounds like a non-ao3 version of the omegaverse and now i'm even more intrigued
Hearing semen minotaur plot was insane 😭😭
Sorry I didn't prepare y'all for that one
My Roommate is a Vampire and You, again were actual reylo fanfics haha ^_^ and of course Ali is a reylo and Forget me not is also written by a reylo, so 4/6 books on your top list are reylo inspired :'D I agree with all of your picks and I'm the same.
Omg I didn't know the vampire one was also reylo
I read the Folk of the air series a couple of years ago, let me tell you, a tail is not a problem for me 😂 I am still obsessed with Cardan to this day. Jude being a crazy badass and him bullying her at first because he has been simping over her since...always? I ate it up 🖤
I'm not into bully romances so not sure if I would like it hmmmm
@@withcindy the series has top tier world -building and badass female lead with ✨pining✨ Romance is far from the focal point of the book, so I'd still give it a shot if you're at all into faeries. I finished that whole trilogy in three days, I adored it. I'm hardly into bully romances either.
@@withcindy It was icking me for a few chapters at first, but as the other commentator said - romance is not the focal point, it's just a cherry on top 🍒
I know someone on Twitter who is *EXACTLY* like an Ali Hazelwood Protagonist and it makes me giggle every time I’m reminded about it.
Omg I wish I had such a carefree quirky girl life
@@withcindy I was referring to the male protagonist being a gentle giant. Should’ve been more specific.
There's an old Chinese saying: "I have eaten more salt than you have rice."
Well Cindy, you have read more bad romance books than I have...books. 😆
I'm obsessed with your tier categories. absolutely entertaining
Ty for appreciating the thought I put into them
The Reylos won 2023 ❤ Also this video premise is like peak Cindy content for me, thank you for this!
You're so welcome!
I live in such a weird parallel universe because the only CoHo book I've read is Heart Bones and they were legitimately perfect and healing for each other but it's like. . . the one CoHo book NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT and the shit going down in ALL THE OTHER COHO BOOKS is just wild.
(Like . . . Samson does turn out to be secretly a homeless orphan breaking into people's houses and on the run for arson, but like. . . he and the main girl are both from similar "wrong side of the tracks" stories going on and everything with Samson inspires her to become a lawyer . . . so it's wild to me that every other CoHo book is INSANE.)
damnnnn what happened to her
I'm telling you, the reylo writers are working some magic because despite me being apathetic to the ship, their fics are so well written. So crazy to see a reylor fic writer mutual become published but I'm not surprised since she's so talented (as many writers of that circle are).
It's cute that they all support each other too
Just in time for lunch break at work! Thank you for entertaining us Cindy!
You are so welcome!
5:57 YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY HABIBTI🤍 Love u from baghdad
Tier rankings and cindy? This is going to be amazing ❤❤
Hope u enjoyyyy
It's so refreshing to see people with a platform speak up about current events, thank you! Plus I read Emily Wilde's encyclopaedia after you recommended it even though I don't usually like books with faeries (I also couldn't take Cardan from the cruel prince seriously after I read that he had a tail, I ended up returning the book)
Cindy’s intros always have me HOOKED ❤️
(Not pun intended 😂)
Plssss not the hooked pun!!
hearing you describe that milking farm book was so surreal because it's the exact descriptions i see when i go deep into ao3 search results. it's exactly like one of those insane AUs that horny people come up with. i can't believe one of those got published. bottomslutdeansinner69 is really moving up in the world
Good for them!! Making a mark in this world 💕
i am on my bended knees begging girl PLEASE UPDATE YOUR GOODREADS I NEED BOOK RECs
i will update this weekend!!
@@withcindy WOOHOO ill keep a lookout!!!
I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!
Had 4 classes today so I am so glad I can unwind
Ooof that's a lot!! Hope u get to enjoy ur weekend
YES this should be a yearly thing, it's so entertaining!
I'll make it a yearly tradition then!
"one could argue that the biggest danger is being fucking annoying" killed me lmaooo
The most lethal weapon: being annoying
“Morally against men in real life.”
Even though I have a husband, such a vibe.
Please do this every year. You always give me so many good books to read. And this was very funny and entertaining to watch ❤ but also tells me what to skip 😂 Thank you!
I will! ty
thank you for loving love theoretically as much as me! saw so many people hate on this book and i don't understand why! and jack was such a GOOD male love interest!!!!
okay but that spreadsheet you mentioned for your reading year in review sounds amazing and i need the template, like, yesterday
I’ve been waiting all day for this. I got up this morning, saw the notification and promised myself that I would watch this video if I got all my schoolwork done. Well, I got it done and now I’m here. I can’t wait to see Cindy rank fictional men! This is the highlight of my day!
awww omg this comment is so sweet!! good job completing ur schoolwork today~
This was such a fun video to listen to while I did chores! I need to read more of the books in the top 2 tiers.
Cindy, you're literally my favourite person
Awww do u not know many people 🥺
I was cooking while listening to this video and the way my neck snapped when I heard the plot to milking farm 😭😭
Whatcha cooking
I'd also put Jack from "Love Theoretically" as "My Hand in Marriage"! I was shocked that he was actually a great love interest who encouraged the main character to put herself first and stop being a people pleaser. He was actually perfect
I did review the book in one of my reading vlogs! Agreed that he is perf boyfriend material
Just know I love you and your super detailed explanation of your decision making on these characters ❤🎉😊
Ty I know I talk a lot but I had to truly explain every decision
@@withcindy I loved it! You made my commute a lot more fun today!! ☺️ '
I really enjoyed this. Would love to see more of your tier rankings
When you said rat tail I was thinking of the hairstyle but then when u mentioned it curling around ur leg I was like wait he had an ACTUAL RAT TAIL??
Yes. Now you understand my grievances
yyessss i would love this being a yearly thing 🙈 this was such a fun vid haha
Loved this video idea~ hope it crops up again next year! And maybe you can rank villains or antagonists too!
To be fair, a lot of these characters were also villains LOL
Oh my gosh, I agree with nearly all your rankings! Let’s goo!!
This is every thing I've ever loved put together 😂❤
Hehe this was catered just for you
Would love to see this as a yearly video!! So entertaining as always 😂❤
Yay! Thank you!
I didn't expect this kind of video to start the year BUT I am not mad at all. Which is, funnily enough, similar to my sentiments about everyone simping over Coriolanus xD
I am sadly one of them (the movie version at least)
I don't read for fun or anything (I don't even like romance, smut etc) but I love watching Cindy's videos lool the way she explains things....relatable lmfaoo shes just so funny
very bad day on my end so this is much needed cindy content today. thank u queen
Awww I hope that the rest of ur day or weekend gets better bb 💕
@@withcindy thank you angel🥺❤❤❤
I just came home from the bar and this is the perfect video right now
This is so good! This should be done every year :D
Love this video - it should definitely be an annual thing!
oh my god yes pls make this a yearly thing 😭
your skin is glowing, miss mam!!! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Cindy I trusted you on your favourite reads 2023 and started listening to A Study in Drowning, because your other pick (Emily Wilde) was also my favourite last year, and I have to tell you I really enjoy it so far. I think I can see the final plottwist(?) coming, but it's still very nice with the water visuals. Thank you
ahh im glad ur enjoying it!! yes the "twist" is pretty predictable from a mile away (if ur talking about what i think ur talking about) but i enjoyed the ride anyway. the water visuals and metaphors were beautiful! especially in the climax
you know it's a good day when cindy posts a video 🙏
You're the best!
That video is the cherry on top of my day, thank you
Glad to hear it!
Was not expecting to see the cursed princess club, that's one of my favorite webtoons!!
your hair looks absolutely amazing!
I have just added all of Cindy's marry tier books to my tbr because of the superior taste
Girl when you were coming up with the scenario where you’d get with Tom Blyth is so me 🤭
I am so GLAD you posted today!!! I am SAT
5:54
5:57 I LOVE YOU CINDY 🤍🇮🇶🇵🇸🤍
Love u too ❤️
the video is over now but I'm still at the part where there's an actual catalogue of monster fucker/monster romance published books out there I AM SHOOK. Like don't get me wrong it's not that I don't know about them or haven't read anything but I was so sure they were exclusive in fanfics 💀💀💀 idk why I thought that way but I did and this is how I found out I was wrong
theres a whole world for you out there my child
I don't laugh a lot at tv shows or youtube videos, but this had me laughing the whole time when I was having a bad day. Thank you, and I love your videos! :)
I'm so glad! ❤️
Starting my year of strong and also HAPPY NEW YEAR
Ooh I've got another chef MMC for you -- Butcher & Blackbird. It is SO GOOD and I think you would love the book and love the dude (highly recommend the audio book because he's got an irish accent). I would love to see another one of these next year, especially to see if you would marry Rowan LOL
