#Normal Eroticism

[the-goya-jerker]

That pinup ask actually reminded me about something that I thought would be good to send you; how do you feel about all the different works by Duane Bryers that involve Hilda?

I thought it seemed like a good time to finally bust out some of these asks from when I requested people send in some "normal" erotic imagery. The Hilda pinups were actually something frequently brought up.

I really like Hilda, honestly. There's this cozy, soft feeling to a lot of the art with her. Hilda is a simple woman. She seemingly lives on a farm or somewhere rural, there are a lot of animals around.

There's a specific cultural element the work of Duan Bryers. He spent much of his childhood in Virginia, Minnesota. And while I do usually avoid personal details on this blog, I spent a lot of my summers as a child around the Virginia-area of Minnesota.

There's definitely a classic Americana to Hilda, of course, but there's a specifically Minnesotan feel to a lot of this. The wildlife featured is stuff they have in MN, red long johns and that classic stove are still common in Deer Camps across the state.

Much of the Hilda art either centers on something warm and cozy inside (where she usually wears her red long johns) or her adventures outside where she scarcely wears anything at all, and is often featured by water. I know these are all details that can be general Americana as well, but MN has a strong fixation on their lakes. The summers there are so hot that I knew many girls who would walk around in just swim suits for most of the summer. The winters are so cold that you just can't really make going outside sexy.

Hilda has a simple softness to her too. Every angle of her body is rounded. She's generally goofy and sweet and usually relaxing in some way. We almost never see her doing the work typical of a woman living on a farm.

Now, I don't want to friend-zone Hilda here, but... I don't find her necessarily erotic. Something about this art ends up just feeling sort of homey to me. It reminds me of the type of pinups guys around that rural area would have hanging in their deer camps, and it reminds me a lot of that region. It's less eroticism and more a giddy sort of joy. I don't even really see her scantily clad images as erotic so much as just... y'know, wearing less clothes?

Anyway, for personal reasons, I'm mostly disqualified. But she still gets a 2/10 because Hilda is objectively hot and I just got way too in my head with this review.

hi i am being normal about computers again

the intimate, bordering-on-sexual bond between a fucked up, emotionally underdeveloped, touch starved, autistic, poorly transitioned tgirl with next to no social skills and a slew of taboos in her sexuality, and an old laptop she bought at goodwill for $6 and disassembled, cleaned, repaired, upgraded, and physically modified, running linux, with a hard drive containing her entire past, before, during and after her discovery of herself

yeah its one of those nights again

The CHOKEHOLD this fic has on me. The amount of time I spend dedicated thinking solely about this.

If you like radioapple/duckiedeer and you HAVEN'T read this? Do so immediately. (I get it, I was also wary about human!alastor au in the 1930s, but trust me. Trust me. This is phenomenal. )

Although don't read this if you're squeamish and can't handle some graphic depictions of murder and vivisection and cannibalism. This IS Alastor, the serial killer cannibal, we're talking about here. He just so happens to wind up in a relationship with the devil (from, the Bible) as well along the way.

And the only thing better than murdering someone and eating them, is being able to do it again the next week - am I right?

the other hot thing about men's historical wigs esp long wigs is how wearing them all the time somehow manages to make catching sight of a man's short natural hair seem incredibly tantalizing

Hi bit late but hiiii :3

I am so normal if, I was just a little bit more of insane I would be drawing "POV you're ripping out Mr Puzzles wires and he loves it" art in a heartbeat, but I am strong and I will not give in so easily, I do wanna chew on them and see what happens.

sometimes i think about how wild a mw2 movie would be if they just dropped soapghost right in the middle with no warning or marketing. like imagine it being beat for beat the exact same, it’s your typical military action movie, promoted as just another military action movie then after they get to the safe house, ghost has to patch up soap and he’s still out of it, overwhelmed by the betrayal and everything he’s seen and ghost needs to ground him and keep him in the present, to remind him that he’s alive and safe so he kisses him and they have sex. the tantrums and the rants and the “ReAl sOLdiErS aRen’t liKe ThAt”, god i can taste it and it’s delicious

Asexuality, Autism, And The Eroticism of The Machine (but it's a google form this time!)

Hey guys, as we know by now I am totally 100% normal about robots. After the end of my last poll on this topic, I decided I kinda wanted to make a more in depth survey. Once again this is just out of curiosity, I'm not doing any like academic research or anything. If you took the first poll and/or are interested in this topic and/or just like taking surveys, please go ahead on take this one :)

i think magic man x magic betty is another type of weird codependent yuri involving betty that should be explored

[katyspersonal]

I REALLY can't understand whether I want to punch my Laurence, want to strangle him, want to maw him like a dog would a chewtoy for 5 minutes, want to personally beat the nails that can be seen on his beast model into him or want to kiss him @_@" Anyone ever has such contradictory feelings towards this guy
