Hey everyone! I made this one for SJ Ship Day and posted it to Twitter on the day completely forgetting to upload here!!
As a side note, I've gone through and tagged all my SJ or Stargate art as #marleywardsjart so if you would like to find them that's where they will be if you search that tag on my profile 😊
That one post that’s like “Why do people always write characters in fantasy and historical settings with a generic ‘vial of oil’ by the bed?” always bugs me
Like what’s not clicking
It’s sex oil for sex, clearly in this setting that’s what it’s specialized for and why it’s there
“What kind of oil? Cooking oil? Saddle oil? Lamp oil?” No clearly it’s a kind used for this purpose
Why do you want an explanation mid sex scene for the production history of this oil. Why is it weird to you that there’s not an in depth explanation of the history of this oil
Do you read contemporary fiction and say “Um excuse me what do you mean there’s a ‘tube of lube’ by the bed? What kind of lube? Is it machinery lubricant? Surgical lubricant? You didn’t explain as the sex scene happened and now I’m so confused!”
Like. Why is this something that breaks a scene for you.
I dedicate this to @tybalt-tisk for the outfit inspiration. :) We’re in Allura’s quarters, like the sitting room or something. Fun little headcanon, the pendant Allura is wearing is actually an Altean locket. Except you hold down on the pendant and a hologram of your loved ones appears and you can have multiple images on it.
Just as a reference, these two posts are written by fanfiction loving gay cis men, who have a lot of great first-hand knowledge of the kinds of sex that two people with penises have! They are (used to be?) really well known, but I know a lot of younger folks may be writing fic and have never come across them!
Minotaur
A well known classic, incredibly informative website with tons of information. Rather dated at this point with regards to the cultural descriptions, but the mechanics are spot on!
Gay Sex is All Wrong in Fanfic
More recently written (2014), and addresses a lot of misconceptions that tend to pop up in mlm fic written by afab people!
