The article explores the rise of romantasy, particularly through Sarah Brouillette's insights on women seeking alternatives to traditional heteronormative relationships. This desire for change transcends the supernatural, as exemplified by artist duendita's album, "a strong desire to survive." Through raw lyrics and diverse musical styles, duendita's work addresses themes of trauma, monstrosity, and the quest for safety and love against patriarchal pressures. The blending of fantasy elements serves as both escapism and a poignant reflection of real emotional struggles women face, underlining the relevance of romantasy in contemporary culture.
Women want something different from their relationships with men. So different that it can only be figured as alien.
This isn't allusive or gestural-these lyrics leave little room for interpretation.
