#so! hard to quantify

[oacest]

your list of sweet things noel has done for liam is soooo cute, i'm sure somebody already asked u that but do u have the same list of things liam has done for noel?? <33

okay well... this is gonna sound Bad lol. but no, and it's p much impossible to compile such a specific list bc liam doesn't really work like that. not in the way noel does. liam's love language, if we want to think about it in those terms, is quality time. he is, in the best possible sense, a little animal who lives fully and completely in the moment, without the "artifice" or distraction of planning ahead, considering his actions, or making calculated efforts. [by which i don't mean he's INCAPABLE of doing those things, only that they don't come instinctively to him in the way they might to other people.] his method of showing/experiencing love is to exist with someone, soaking in and sharing presence, talking and drinking and having a laugh. he has surely said and done so many incredibly beautiful sweet things for noel over the years, most of which never got recorded, compliments and thoughtful observations and casual little acts of affection, but it's noteworthy that the things he has said on the record, as it were, are hugely centred around noel's music--aka the thing that's most important to noel in the entire world. if we're defining "doing something sweet" as some combination of: 1) making the other person feel happy/loved/appreciated 2) INTENDING to make the other person feel that way (regardless of success lol) then basically every time liam opened his mouth about noel('s music) over the past 30+ years counts, and the list would therefore still be impossible to compile due to sheer volume.

HOWEVER, here's a little honourable mentions category <3:

that time he gave noel flowers (+ this incredibly important followup)

the AIDS comment

threatening james from starsailor for being rude to noel

drunk philly kiss

sharing his beer

q awards kiss

there's something so bittersweet about finding out you're autistic and that autistic people have trouble maintaining friendships long term. one one hand you're like oh! maybe there isn't something uniquely horrible about me! lots of people like me struggle with this! but then you realize that if it's not you, it's not in your power to fix

[rawliverandgoronspice]

for real tho I think social media turning human interaction into weird numbers has us decensitized to how *incredible* it is to have 22 people taking the time to sit with your work, decide they like it, and let you know about it, like it's genuinely quite wonderful <3

Okay, maybe we can talk about Slick/Jack's dog fetish just a little bit. Because what the fuck. This isn't furry porn, this is just dogs. Like straight up dogs. I know this doesn't necessarily contain pornography of dogs as we would quantify it, but it's still being used as pornographic material, so... Maybe not a crime by our standards, but also by our standards still... Really weird.

Do you think Jack was really enthused about becoming Bec Noir, or...?

ur top 5 fav authors on hit website tumblr dot com?

that's a tough ask anon, I like a ton believe it or not lol. It also depends on the fandom, each fandom has so many brilliant writers in their own regard. This will also be a bit biased (hi mutuals teehee) and not on a scale because writing is something we're always improving on.

so, with that said, here are my top fav writers on this site without any order to em.

@solxamber: I really like her stories and how creative she can get with things! She started with a bang and just keeps going.

@goosewriting: They have some incredible world building and are really good at keeping things in character. Idk, I'm bad at giving reasons without sounding repetitive 😣

@luimagines: if you noticed that spam of this authors work...no you didn't-

@daistea: her love for one character had caught my heart and her fics for him are just chefs kiss.

@finniestoncrane: They are an 18+ only blog so minors don't go there. But I really like her Riddler works and they reblog funny things lol

ok so these are just a few of my favorites and I tried to cherry pick ones from different fandoms. I feel bad, if you're a mutual or someone I follow and are not on this list pls know you're also my fav I just couldn't fit you into the list 😣 I really don't like picking favorites 😭

[boatboys]

are you telling me book 2 is 400k and DONE???

"Done" is a strong word! and it may end up shorter (or. longer QuQ) with further editing! But in terms of "the prose are all written and are ready for us to start pruning and refining": yup!

[daddysboydean]

all times john’s left the boys alone. he did it because they needed to learn how to survive without him, how to take care of each other because one day he might leave for a hunt and not come back. he couldn’t let them rely on him too much. when sam was seven or so, dean would’ve been around eleven, john left them at a cabin in montana with a barely stocked kitchen and half a set of survival skills between them. snow piled up two feet that winter and he wasn’t sure if dean knew well enough how to start a fire. they could’ve died. john knew that. he could’ve come back to two small, lifeless bodies wrapped around each other for heat that wouldn’t stick. but he couldn’t coddle them, they needed to learn to fend for themselves. and sure enough, when he pulled up a week later, smoke was curling up out the chimney and his boys were scared and hungry but warm, rationed three cans of beans and melted snow in front of the fire for water when the pipes froze.

And here we are, at the final Sunday! ('The Final Countdown' blares in the background) Jokes aside, I hope this last chapter doesn't disappoint as the conclusion to this wild ride. It's been a wonderful time, and while I'm sad to see the fic finished it's nice to have something like this finished. I never thought I would be able to write something this long, this involved, and yet here it is sitting every-so-calmly on my AO3 <3 Thank you for everyone who's been keeping up this entire time, and welcome to anyone who was waiting for it to be completed in order to dive in. An especially big thank you to @dbh-bb and @connor-sent-by-cyberlife, as the event and collab partner that made this all possible. For some reason, Tumblr won't let me put this link in all fancy-like, so please excuse the boring link below ; ~;

What I will and won't write:

Keep in mind I don't do requests. But I do like sharing ideas! Plus, I'm looking to give insight on what to expect. I personally like knowing this kind of stuff from my fave writers, 'cause I'm nosey.

Non-exhaustive list of my favorites that will probably show up somewhere eventually, if not repeatedly in my fics or reblogs:

rape/non-con, dub-con, consensual non-consent, forced orgasms, overstimulation, edging, denial, kidnapping, manhandling, spanking, dom/sub dynamics, heavy bondage, encasement/immobilization, "regular" bondage, objectification, pet-play, sensory deprivation, soft dehumanization*, hypnosis/mind-control, caregiving*, helplessness, humiliation, fear kink, monster fucking, somnophilia, breeding kink, medical kink, insecurity, fat/plus-size reader, mentally ill reader, virgin/inexperienced reader*

(*see bottom for addendums)

Hard limits that I will not write or reblog:

anything underage, incest, bestiality, guro, snuff, scat, feederism

"Soft Limits":

(everything here is a lot more arbitrary and could conceivably have acceptations)

Angst. Heavy angst or angst with no resolution is closer to a hard limit. I almost left this one out, because it gets pretty murky. What someone considers "angst" is subjective. Like, I'm sure according to some people ALL dark fics would be angst.

Hurt/No Comfort (see above)

Face Slapping. I personally really dislike face slapping and won't write it myself. HOWEVER, it's pretty common in dark/kinky fics, so it will come up sometimes in posts I reblog. How much I can tolerate it in a fic depends on the context.

Choking. Also not my thing but pops up a lot. If it's used logistically, like, an improvised way to knock someone out, I consider that an exception.

Heavy Pain Play. Pain wise, what I like tends to be fairly mild. Rough handling and spanks to your soft bits, biting, scratching, pinching. Other forms of physical violence against the reader by the Love Interest, ie. punching, kicking, is a huge turn-off for me.*

Non-consensual Body Modification. Piercing, branding, tattoos? Tentative, maybe. But once again, I'm not a big fan of causing reader pain arbitrarily. Mutilation or amputation of body parts that permanently disables the reader in some way? Hard no.*

Major Character Death.

Adultery between the Love Interest and Reader.

Child or pet abuse by the Love Interest or Reader.

Love Interest that has killed their previous romantic partners. For the same reason, serial killer AU's aren't really for me. If you're just an almost Jane Doe among 8 other dead women that honestly makes me dry up like a raisin. If the l/i is going to kill people, the victim has to un-fucked and an asshole for me to tolerate it.

Serial Rapist Love Interest. Even if the l/i doesn't kill them, I really do not love scenarios where they kidnap and/or rape OTHER people. I prefer the yandere-ish fixation on the reader alone.

Love Interest murdering Reader's family members/friends. UNLESS, they're assholes. Regardless, the threat of it is fair game, lol.

*(virgin/inexperienced reader) For my authorial intent or whatever, said reader will always, implied or directly stated, be like, at minimum mid twenties. Earlier than that even if it's legal it weirds me out personally, sorry. My virginity/inexperience interest is completely detached from a predatory obsession with youth. Related topic, I love Old Men™ and an age gap. However, again, I prefer the younger of the two to be at least mid twenties, provided the l/i didn't know they as a minor cause that squicks me out, sorry.

*(caregiving) This is for lack of a better term. While it's usually associated with caregiving for vulnerable persons like the elderly or children, that's NOT what I'm referring to. For my purposes, it refers to caregiving for the reader against their will as an intrusive element of humiliation or control. (eg. putting reader to bed, feeding, bathing hair brushing, teeth brushing, etc.)

*(heavy pain play/non consensual body modification) It's probably as dark as I'd go, but I could see a situation where the Love Interest breaks one or more of your bones in order to temporarily physically restrain you, like, as a punishment for trying to run away for the 3rd time. It'd be "for your own good". The pain wouldn't be the point, it'd just be a biproduct that they'd likely try to mitigate in some way.

Feel free to ask me to elaborate on anything, lol. I love talking about this shit.

FYI: None of this is necessarily meant to be condemnations or endorsement. Also keep in mind that I do my best to give proper CWs, so ideally if one of these things is not your vibe you can safely skip it. Although, tbh if non-con upsets you, you're probably better off just blocking me, cause most of my stuff involves it.

Dinner time! And it's Dulce's turn to cook. What does she make? Is she a good cook? Do you think the other companions look forward to her meals, or do they make themselves scarce when dinner time comes around?

She's not a good cook. She enjoys eating but not cooking.

Dulce is the type of person who uses the Eluvians to go buy carry out when its her turn to cook.

The team tries to tell her to stop spending the grocery fund on take out, but then she actually tries to make dinner from scratch and they change their mind.

girl i was watching a movie from the 60s with themes about race and i wanted to double check the date interracial marriage was legalized in the US (june 12 1967 with loving v virginia is the big country-wide date) 'cause it was relevant and I couldn't remember if it was 65 or 67 (5 and 7 are the same number to me) but then i got distracted on the wikipedia page for "interracial marriage" and started reading it and this section header. well. the frankness of it did make me laugh

I will admit that it's hard seeing Homestuck 2/Beyond Canon as anything beyond a metatextual "oh, you want more of the story? well, this is what you get for wishing there was more, everybody you liked is miserable or awful now" directed at its predecessor's audience, at least/especially before the new team took over, but every once in a while it still does something that REALLY hits. the new [S] update was SO good

[ranseur]

fyi at least half of the "stay at home girlfriend" posts are satire so it's much less of a Thing than it seems - the sincere tradwife-type content tends to be more focused on how They Personally Prefer to spend time with their children etc. (so focusing on the them Wanting the Traditional Life vs. Not wanting to work etc.), it's more insidious

interesting! let me know if there's some deep dive i can look into this topic more- based on what you're saying there's more to it than initial impressions imply mostly I'm curious that you've brought up disconnecting them philosophically from tradwives when, for sure, I had the impression that tradwives and sah-gfs were similar in their outspoken willingness to discard certain women's rights. though, I can see how they differ in other ways. if one group is more likely to isolate and homeschool their kids and feed them raw milk (if that's what you were implying when you said 'how They Personally Prefer), while the other group 'just' wants an unlimited credit card. cause i was wondering why it was that one group keeps calling themselves 'girlfriends' rather than 'wives'. i guess it would make sense if they're saying they don't care about making a family like trad wives tend to fwiw though, since I don't know much, i think what you're saying is fair: to be cautious of how these groups are different, and especially which ones are more likely to stem from a broader political motivation. though, concerning the post itself which was more just about the sah-gfs, i thought it brought up an important discussion about 'eroticizing gender inequality'. even if by comparison, sah-gfs may not be as large or insidious as tradwives, i think it's still something worth talking about.

but i could change my mind about anything i said above. definitely feel free to send me some links for further reading
