40+ year old cis female Dane here, she/her. I rarely tag, so you might run into spoilers here. That said, this has devolved from mostly pretty pictures and fan stuff to anything at all. Vague, but true.
wait you understand that kinks are ok because they’re fantasies that make you happy right? you all get that you don’t need to have trauma for your kinks to be okay? right? like none of you think i witnessed a tragic accident on the pool toy assembly line right?
there seems to be some confusion in the notes of this post so just to clarify i’m specifically talking about whatever kink you think is immoral
I just want a hidden mic on their “loving” bedtime banter. Half of it is gooey/dirty mush and the other half is them squabbling over whose toes are colder and whether or not drowning Hojo would actually improve his hygiene.
maybe i didnt come back wrong maybe i was just a weird freak when i was alive but i hid it and acted so normal and after i died i decided to stop pretending. maybe being resurrected was the perfect opportunity for me to be myself because i knew you would chalk it up to the horror of me coming back wrong. but the horror was always inside me. did u think about that
i know you’re not suppose to say “male characters tend to be more popular because female characters tend to be underwritten/given more boring safe personalities/be the "girl” character" because people who say they are usually the one’s who are able to be interested in extremely bland male characters. but i think there is something to be say about how character designers have absolutely no limits with what they can do with male characters but the second you add “also they’re a woman” suddenly they aren’t allowed to make them too fat or too funny or too creepy or given any personally traits that might make than not sexy/unthreatening in a very narrow way and it’s extremely tiring lol.
i genuinely have no animosity towards ppl who get upset abt not being able to read academic texts + i do think we need to expand the pathways/methods of being exposed to critical concepts so that “sit + read for 2 hours” is not the only option.
however, as someone dx with adhd + incapable of sitting still for even a minute (actually right at this moment i am writing this instead of reading the book sitting open in front of me), i do feel like a lot of ppl do not realize that not all readings are designed to be read like a novel.
as in, it’s ok + normal + good to need to reread a paragraph several times, to only read part of a book, to have to research or reference words or concepts in order to grasp the reading, to skip over large chunks of text which are not relevant to your expertise, to continue reading despite not understanding a concept. this is something ‘neurotypical’ academics do frequently + many of these texts, especially contemporary ones, were designed with this in mind.
there are many ppl with accessibility needs that are not being met by academic texts at this time! many texts (in my humble opinion) are unnecessarily complex in order to show off or hide the fact that they have no idea what they’re talking about.
i still feel like many of the kneejerk reactions on this site are based on the assumption that their experience reading academic texts should be similar to their experiences reading a nyt bestseller, rather than a process of thinking, analyzing, researching, processing, returning. some of u are telling yourself that any challenges u face while reading are a result of some internal fault u have + not an expected + precious part of the experience.
One of the hardest parts of writing gay anything is that they (often) use the same pronouns. Balancing names and pronouns so that I’m not overusing either of them is maybe THE hardest part of writing for me, because if you use ‘he’ too many times in a row you’ll lose track of who’s doing what, but too many names is repetitive and awkward to read!
“Alright,” Josh said, pushing him into the wall. “But it’s really not that hard to navigate.”
“Who are you talking to?” Jayson replied.
“Shh,” he stroked his face, and studied his face like he was seeing it for the first time. “New speaker new line. They’ll figure it out.”
He laughed nervously. “Are you seriously giving them a writing lesson right now?”
“Is it working?”
“I don’t know,” he said. “Which one of us is speaking?”
“Obviously me,” Josh said. “It’s not as if there’s a third guy in this scene or anything.”
