When she is the big spoon but you're not the little spoon

that doesn't even make sense since i feel like everywhere else the push is for shorter and shorter content

Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.

YOU guys might think sex is only for when you're horny. maybe i want to have sex with him because i love his body and trust him enough to see me naked. maybe i want to have sex with him to show him how much i love and appreciate him. maybe i want to have sex with him because of how much i crave intimacy with him; i want to be as close to him as i can be. have you ever thought about THAT

König as a service top that thrives on praise and affirmation, but his partners are too overwhelmed. Making it impossible for them to form words.

So he tries even harder, and the cycle continues.

Team Watcher released a special Pride Collection designed by our queer employees on our Society6 page.

All of the proceeds will be donated to the Southern Trans Youth Emergency Project and the Central Florida Emergency Trans Care Fund who are doing the important work on the ground to help trans Floridians get the life-saving care they need, now more than ever. We see you, we support you, we care about you.

Taking a minute to appreciate the way the folks at Watcher take time to appreciate and support their LGBTQ+ fans, because... Of course they've always been great with general fan engagement via incorporating fan submissions into shows, the way they run their social media, etc... But they've kicked off pride month with an entire merch line, designed by queer artists, the proceeds of which go to support queer people... This isn't just performative "participate in pride month because it's good for business" bullshit, this is genuinely amazing. They aren't plastering rainbows on top of their content to get more engagement and brownie points from fans, they're genuinely advocating for what they believe in and actively showing support to people who really need it right now. I know my blog here is mostly bullshit / meme content, but I just want to take a moment here to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, to EVERYONE at Watcher. Thank you for not only creating hilarious, innovative, and wonderful content, but also for showing genuine support and love to the LGBTQ+ community. What you do means the world to so many people, and all of us Watcherinas are eternally grateful <3

Dear Neil Gaiman, I just want you to know, when I was a teenager I tried reading American Gods. I had to suddenly stop. There were a lot of high concepts I could handle back then. Vaginal Vore was not one of them.

That's why chapter one ends the way it does. It's there to let people know that this book may not be for them. (It's also why the 15th word of American Gods is "fucking".)

I haven’t stopped laughing at this
