booktok’s obsession with age gaps and shadow powers

there is one character that is so popular for being a hot powerful shadowy Immortal man that every other love interest that you read about in Romany nowadays is very clearly inspired by this one and that is Rand from a court of thorns and Roses he is the high lord of the night court so he controls shadows and darkness he is also the most powerful Shadow wielder in the Accord of thorns and roses universe

I actually genuinely enjoyed that romance in belladon because I think the author adelyn Grace really used the immortal Shadow Daddy's Trope and the huge age Gap to actually add something to the story

We're going to start with Zaden from fourth Wing this is the only Shadow daddy that I think isn't immortal like he's 23 years old but he does have Shadow powers so a lot of people mentioned him as like a famous Shadow daddy

the point of the story is that he has a lot of power over Alina which initially makes him really attractive and makes us fall for him but then he turns on her and he becomes the villain so I'm not mad at it

we have Nikos from a shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L armout Nikas is literally the god of death he doesn't have any like literal Shadow Powers but he is the ruler of the Shadow lands the god of death Shadow and death themes tend to be pretty popular among the shadow daddies and I think that's why a lot of people call him a shadow daddy as well

although this age Gap is by far the largest one that we've discussed so far I also have very few problems with it because Addie is also 300 years old like if you yourself also have been around for centuries at some point the age Gap doesn't become that big of a problem right
