Tier ranking love interests from books I read in 2024 💋 Werewolves, time travelers, hackers, & more

[@miraturtlerabbit6978]

wow i've been really behind on Cindy's videos i just got so much whiplash hearing "omegaverse doctor romance based on a reylo fanfic" ☠

[@withcindy]

I told y'all to keep up!

[@mayarahman9995]

I liked the cover and didn’t read the blurb but it was actually really good 😅

[@hippie1325]

“He has a lot to learn, and unfortunately I’m not a teacher.” - every woman needs to say this before they date a man.

[@withcindy]

exactlyyyy

[@neptuneromantic]

I think you need a “DISrespectfully, no” category since it sounds like you don’t want to kill most people/characters lol

[@withcindy]

good feedback for next year!!

[@samanthadiaz2318]

yeah i thought so too! that memoir husband should go into a category like "Get Away from Me"

[@Yssakai-art]

"he started this whole organization of hackers, so he's very career-oriented" sent me

[@withcindy]

It takes initiative!

[@dungeonsofbees]

The jump between “no thank you 💖” to murder in the ranking system is SO funny

besties this is a PSA - as someone who works in the science field, make sure your love interest is working in INDUSTRY within the science field otherwise they are in fact NOT making good money O.O

[@withcindy]

Good to know!!

[@Valaloki]

And remember that not all positions are well paying unfortunately (sorry, I'm looking for jobs rn and seeing $12.75p/h, with a bachelor's degree, 5yrs of experience and license is soul breaking)

Reylo fanfiction is so wild to me cause they're like space wizards good vs evil and then people make fanfic AUs removing them completely from the situation like "reylo but now its a doctor patient relationship and they're werewolves uwu"

i gotta own up to my truth!!

[@neo-cb9lc]

the kingdom hearts mention was not expected in this video but i'm here for it, especially since utada hikaru is a nonbinary icon

[@withcindy]

Oooh I didn't know that, good for them!

[@alainaclemence]

31:53 Personally I would consider changing the final category from “kill” to “disrespectfully no” so that you can put real people you’re revolted by all the way at the bottom AND be able to further elaborate on *how* disrespectfully you decline fictional characters 😂

[@withcindy]

ur veryyyy right!!

[@mglarson5936]

@@withcindy or maybe add a tier between “respectfully no” and “I’ll kill you” 😂

I nominate: •Ew, needs a PSA • Wouldn't cry if hit by train • Oxygen thief • Low-key hope he croaks • Gives sane ppl the ick Worst tier w/o "k*ll": •Self immolation fuel? • Fate worse than death • Literally rather date Satan (Sorry, it's a dark time y'know? 💀) (Great vid as always!)

[@withcindy]

Aw that means so much!! Sending you lots of love. ❤️

[@StimpyRM]

It's funny how pragmatic Cindy is. From her oldest videos where she was like "Get your back\cash that money\I wear clothes and return them with the tag because money" and even now, deciding to put a Reylo doctor guy in marry for all the logical reasons

[@CelticGuardian7]

I have no idea who most of these people are but I am sure your tier list is 100% accurate.

Hehe can't wait to see u again!!

[@miraturtlerabbit6978]

26:36 finallyy i hear someone talk abt this feeling haha i think this is partially why i've never been super into fae romance type stories (also probably why i don't really have celebrity crushes unless i like their personality hmm) i just can't feel very attracted to someone who's toooo attractive ykk

[@withcindy]

Exactlyyyy I need them to be closer to my level

Fam same! fairies and Elves are so NOT my type, is hard for me to get invested on them I'm not against pretty people but they're on uncanny valley territory.
