    Welcome to Curdled Ink, one woman's tirade against poor writing and problematic romance! This episode is a wild ride, diving into Ana's self esteem issues, Christian's mind-blowing lack of boundaries, and EL James's inability to imagine a man who's not actually a douchebag.

    Ep 5: 50 Shades of Grey Chapter 5

    Ep 5: 50 Shades of Grey Chapter 5

    In this episode Ana wakes up in Christian's hotel room, and it's all downhill from there. We start to see Christian's disordered attitudes toward food, his deeply buried kinkshame, and it all culminates in one of the most distressing first-kiss sequences I've ever read. Have fun!


    Content warnings for this episode: manipulation, truly awful dominant conduct, rape apologism, discussion of sexual assault, dangerously low self esteem, discussion of food/disordered attitudes toward food, abuse mention, kinkshame, trauma (responses to), and stereotypes/stigma around kink.

    Ep 6: 50 Shades of Grey Chapter 6

    Ep 6: 50 Shades of Grey Chapter 6

    Thank you for your patience with the late upload today! Life gets in the way sometimes. :)
     
    This episode sets us up for Christian's "big reveal" of his deep, dark secret. He flies her out to his apartment, has her sign an NDA, and then escorts her into his dungeon...


    Content warnings for this episode: stalking mention, and just a whole lot more of Christian being terrible at communicating and terrible at kink.
