Wait, isn’t the term “supernormal” an oxymoron? If anything, it could describe the average person who had no magical, spiritual, or supernatural ability at all. I certainly wouldn’t think “psychic” or “witch” when hearing it.
Yeah, that's what would come to my mind first too
Anita, nobody says ‘living in sin’ these days Seriously! I don't think my grandparents would even say that!
In fairness, maybe it wasn’t the fact that she wasn’t married to them, maybe it was the fact that she was dating both of them at the same time. Polyamory is still usually considered weird and ‘edgy.’
I'd hope that was it, but given that she said "living in sin with both of them" and "living in sin with" usually implies living together unmarried, I think it was the unmarried thing...which just adds an extra weirdness to the fact you'd think she'd be more worried about the poly thing than that.
Pfft, now I’m imagining an AU fanfic where the cast of Anita Blake is all in high school and Anita is the jealous loser who skulks in the corner by herself, rags on all of the (blonde) cheerleaders, tries to steal their boyfriends, and spends practically every day in detention because she constantly talks back to her teachers and tries to attack her classmates. AHAHAHAH THAT IS SO PERFECT and I bet that's totally how she was too. Fun fact, I was one of the weird wannabe-goth kids in high school and it got on my nerves SO FAST how other kids in my niche would rag on "preps" for existing (how are 'normal' people 'preps' they don't go to a prep school, they go to our school!) and think it was so shallow fake to wear regular makeup and dye your hair blonde but not at all shallow or fake to wear emo makeup or dye your hair black. Also, being happy means you're stupid. Anita reminds me EXACTLY of those types. Not all of them were like that, really just a few, but I'm glad enough were to show me what an asinine attitude it was so I never became one and instead was just happy with being Goth while also being quite fine with everyone who wasn't. LKH, on the other hand, seems to be one of those elitist types even at her age, which is really sad and juvenile.
but at the end of the day, she’s a lying hypocrite. YYUUUUUP
Then your heroine comes off looking like a bigger monster than they are. And contrary to what LKH thinks, that's actually not at all a good thing.
