Lolll I'm trying so hard not to sound mean...but do people really think zukka is going to happen in the live action?? Like...how would that make any logical sense whatsoever?? In the whole of three seasons they only spent two episodes together...kataang or Zutara actually make sense lmfao
Well, I suppose there is a remote possiblity for Zukka to become canon in Netflix's LA...
Hey, hey, hey! 🙌🏽😳🙌🏽 Hear me out, okay? Just hear me out...
I have dealt with Netflix's reboots in the past.
Tumblr media
☝🏽 This is a poster from Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments series, or the way I call it: The really, really, really big Shadowhunter Chronicles fever dream — and hey, I'm not saying the series was that bad; and yes, I know it was originally from Freeform and Netflix got the rights later, but my point is that the main plot of this series was some sort of Tinder!AU including ALL characters across two separated series in the original TSC. And when I say all, I really, really, really mean it.
Characters who had never even met each other in the books were suddenly hooking up, including the female character who canonically hated handsome men with the regarded hottest guy in the series 🙄 Crack-ships from the producers' part everywhere!
I can tell now that The Mortal Instruments books didn't have perfectly written romances — something that my 13-yo self couldn't do — but I'm sure even she could tell having everyone sleeping with everyone wasn't a better option 😒
What I'm trying to say is that these books in specific were picked for a LA of their own because they were an inclusion boom back in their time, and I suppose they were pretty above 2007 standards, but in the effort of making everything more dramatic/progressive/feminist they did nothing but ruin the good parts of the original writing. And curiously, it all gave birth to a toxic fandom, too 🤔
And furthermore it wouldn't be the first time a reboot also applied to the characters' sexuality. See She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 1985 version vs. 2018 version for example:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What would you say if I told that 1985!Adora was in a relationship with 1985!Sea Hawk and 1985!Catra and Adora were constantly fighting over him because Catra had a crush on him, too?
...
So, technically, Catradora is a fanon ship 😅
What I mean with all of these is that reboots, especially the ones in which Netflix has any intervention, can (and most probably will) change a lot of things for the sake of ratings... even if results may vary.
There is a possibility for everything. In ATLA's case: they can leave the story and the canon ships as they are, they can change the story but not the ships, they can make Zutara canon, they can make all sorts of juggling to fit Zukka into this whole thing — there's a reason why fanon ships have so much AUs, there are truly infinite scenarios; Zukka has no place in our OG story, but I don't think Netflix has much interest in following that story by the book (no pun intended) and I don't trust their creative ideas not because of the sake of shipping, but because of the sake of everything.
Some classics are better left as they are 🤷🏽‍♀️...

This is a new series where I take one of my favourite fanfics and write an in-depth review on it. 
Title: Black Pearl
Author: EXO-Dreamer
Length: 32 Chapters
Paring: Byun Baekhyun x OC x Do Kyungsoo
AU: Pirate
Status: Completed
Find it: (Here)
Premise: “The old tales speak of a notorious pirate that once sailed as the captain of EXO. They say that when he wasn't searching for hold, he was often found in the bed of women or single-handedly taking down a whole ship on his own. Legends say that it is Byun Baekhyun whose name robbed men curse under their breath, the name their wives desperately scream at night, and the name they say the sea calls its master.
But one fateful day when the boat is attacked along the marine, and all seems for naught, a stranger brings Baekhyun safely back to shore. Before the ship captain fully gains consciousness to see his saviour, he can only see a glimpse of her wavy black hair and the black jewel around her neck before she escapes without a trace into the ocean.”
Black Pearl is single-handedly one of the most immersive pieces of fiction you will ever read, despite the fact it is fan-fiction and Disney would kill us if we ever placed it above their so-called masterpiece of a series that is the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise. Let’s face it, it isn’t so much of a movie than watching Johnny Depp play, Johnny Depp.
But this, this is a whole new level. Honestly, skip the films and dive straight into this beast of a story – yes, pun intended. The story of the Black Pearl is based on multiple different pieces of media that has been tied rather smoothly into one entity. The first naturally being EXO’s, Black Pearl from their album Exodus, but you knew that. The second being, Hans Christian Andersen’s, The Little Mermaid and finally, The Princess Bride – which I actually didn’t know until I revisited the foreword.  
What makes it so good you ask? EXO-Dreamer’s world-building is mind-blowing. Every nook and cranny explored to its absolute fullest, which allows you to feel not only for the three centred protagonists but also be severely involved the others surrounding them which then leads into her fantastic use of characterisation. But, back to the setting. I’m not going to lie to you guys, I haven’t re-read this in a while so my knowledge isn’t to its absolute fullest because I just don’t have that much time anymore – oh, to be in High School again but I’ll try my best. To take an educated guess, this is probably post-golden age, based on a character in the sequel. Like, during the tiny sweet-spot just before it started to die-out, along everyone else for that matter because Cholera was oh-so rampant, especially among my people – manky water.
This story was a collection of things I love the most, so it was hard for me to turn away. I’m a history buff and my preferred area of expertise is the golden-age of piracy – love me some Anne Bonny not, only that but as a Baekhyun story. You mean the cheeky son of a bitch that is constantly neck and neck with dear old Kyungsoo? Sign me the fuck up. The icing on the cake was really just the Mermaid storyline, Ariel has been my favourite princess for as long as I can remember – No shade Merida but like, she’s got the hottest prince and you’ve just got my accent. There’re also a few little other details but I won’t dive into spoilers, just yet.
So, world-building, I don’t know about you guys, but I personally pictured this quaint little Island with a village-like aesthetic and I was loving every second of it. If you’ve ever watched Black Sails or played either Black Flag or Uncharted 4 you’ll know what I mean.
To jump into my favourite thing about this thing is the characterisation.
I’m actually not going to start with the two leads, because unsurprisingly they aren’t my favourites – I know it’s like my heart wants to harm itself. To start off, I’m going to jump into Yixing’s character, who is the designated socialite and knows everything about everyone – that’s why his hair is so big. It’s full of secrets. Yixing’s character, the more I saw of him the more endearing he became. Every witty comeback, every sly gesture to say I was #livingforit would be an understatement. I just picture this savvy guy parading around with a bunch of mischievous, filthy pirates, similar to a Korean mother in a drama would drag around her idiotic sons. His relationship with Baekhyun in particular is fascinating, Yixing seems to be one of few who can truly tame the crazy that is Byun Baekhyun.
This isn’t really them individually but rather as a unit, Jinjoo’s sisters were amazing. You could really tell the author really did create solid personalities for each-one and the way they protected their youngest sister played off well against the pirate crew. If I had to pick my favourites would be Sun-Hee and Krystal. Also, the set-up that they essentially ran their own tavern/brothel? – is it, I vaguely remember – was so refreshing. Funnily enough historically accurate, well sort of. Things like that were common in the Wild West for women to basically run the economy off the back of prostitution.
Okay, so cranking it up a little more I’m going to tackle Kyungsoo, which for me it is difficult – as I am currently reading through the sequel and my god does this scallywag get an upgrade, so my opinion on him heavily differs. Kyungsoo wasn’t a huge interest for me, I’d seen his archetype countless times before, so I knew what the gang were getting themselves into and if it came down to the wire, it would be Baekhyun that gets the girl. Kyungsoo in book one is just too pure for this harsh world but his friendship with Jinjoo was sweet. Buckle up boys, just wait until you read number two. Like fucking swoon alert, EXO-Dreamer resurrected my love for dark Soo and I am loving every second of it.
Before I get to Baekhyun and Jinjoo, I’m going to pick-apart something that I’ve never really noticed anyone do. Cameo’s, Cameo’s are rampant in stories like this and sometimes the work sometimes they don’t, but I really have to commend the author for getting it so damn right. Particularly in book two but here, the insertion of BoA was genius considering what she represents in real life within the K-Pop community. I’ll not spoil any of them but I legit screamed when I read two particularly cameos in book two. The names don’t feel shoehorned in, unlike most. What I’ve noticed is that most stories have them for the sake of having a cameo – similar to films. But in this it truly feels that a character was needed so let’s look through the rolodex of stars and see what actually fits the story’s need.
Okay, time to tackle the OC. Honestly, I really like Jinjoo. It’s not often I can read an OC that has agency, god I struggle with it all the damn time but seriously this one is so elegantly written and flesh out so well. Who knew a girl could have more than one emotion at a time! Her relationship with Luhan and her sisters is by far my favourite, particularly with Krystal.
Baekhyun, ho, Baekie what have you done to me. I love this depiction of Baekhyun, is it the most faithful thing, no. Nothing is, but to say he wasn’t the least bit entertaining would be a flat out lie. Like this guy is Sparrow on acid, what I will say reading his sections with Jinjoo really took me back to my Hetalia days; we don’t talk about that any more. Baek was very Arthur-esque and I loved every second on of it. Sure, he starts of as that classic charismatic fuckboi we are warned about and you better believe he’s still that at the end, even so the captain gets a solid glo-up.
Plot? Was it predictable, no, not entirely but like they say; “It’s the journey, not the destination.” And it’s the journey I sign-up for. Personally, I do prefer the sequel, but I think that’s just because I’ve seen these characters grow, particularly Baekhyun and Kyungsoo.
Finally, what about the rest of our boys, well they’re there and they even get to shine too! Some more than others but I distinctly remember crying at one of Jongin’s side-plot rather than the main trios.
To close up I highly recommend this story to whoever just wants to throw themselves into something and feeeeel… because trust me hun, you will.
I will do El Dorado when it has been completed.
Next: One Of Us.

Unlike various other sex work, where females gain less as they age, phone sex operators can make even more by developing a brand in time. Lynn even presumes that PSOs in their twenties are disadvantaged by having less experience analysis males. Phone sex uses something different from pornography and also webcams. So, while there are no market industry records on the dimension of the business, phone sex appears to have adjusted to the Internet instead of succumbed it. Instead of locating a contact number in a smut magazine, men now go to phone sex internet sites like http://www.madebygirls.tv/. Debbie, head of consumer connections at http://www.madebygirls.tv/, states that the web site's phone sex service grows at the exact same stable rate as their second camming offerings, which http://www.madebygirls.tv/ has tens of thousands of energetic PSO accounts.
Just how to obtain a task as a Phone sex driver

While numerous individuals have actually looked to the slightly more confidential net to shake their socks off, lots of people still want a little bit even more of a human touch. We decided it was due time to have a chat with one of these girls, yet in order to do so we needed to guarantee her she would certainly stay anonymous for factors that will most likely become clear in the interview. For continuity, nonetheless, we've offered her the name Crystal, because that simply seems like a reputation for a phone sex driver.
Do People Actually Still Have Phone Sex?
Phone sex work isn't for everyone, however it can be a wonderful opportunity for many ladies (and also of course, it's still primarily females). One point that hasn't altered much, though, is the prospective to be evaluated by household and even good friends once they find out the sort of job you do. Phone sex is a conversation between 2 or more people on the phone which is raunchy and also is planned to provoke sex-related arousal in one or more participants. As a method between people temporarily separated, it is as old as dial telephones, on which no driver can eavesdrop (very early 20th century). In the later 20th century services emerged offering, for a cost, sexual conversations with a phone sex worker. The remainder of this write-up takes care of these paid phone sex services. Cheap Phone Sex Phone sex company generally market their services in males's publications, in adult publications and video clips, on late-night cable tv, as well as online. Some phone sex solutions utilize modern customer purchase strategies such as active database advertising to reach potential clients. These advertising and marketing techniques almost invariably target guys, the main consumers of phone sex services. Phone Sex is the perfect means to explore sex-related dreams that could or else be left in the boundaries of an individual's subs principles. Actually, when they call us for the first time, men and women still take some time before beginning to feel relaxed enough that they might actually talk about what transforms them on.

Tease and also Denial Phone Conversation
Hardly Legal Phone Sex No.
Strapon Phone Sex

Cuckold Phone Sex
Embarrassment Phone Sex Jerkoff
Large Tits Telephone Sex Nr.
The most common sexual dreams.
Multi-partner sex.
Yep, it appears as though the majority of us contend least entertained the concept of threesomes. For people in partnerships, this fantasy generally involves their better half (though not always). Interestingly, heterosexual-identifying males often tend to choose their envisioned threesomes to be with 2 females, while heterosexual-identifying females typically didn't like which sexes they were getting it on with.
Power, control, as well as rough sex.
Power characteristics aren't just about brushing the ego-- they likewise produce some brilliant bed room play while stroking, ahem, other points. Harsh sex and also BDSM involving paddling, warm wax, restrictions, biting as well as other dominant/submissive acts appreciated among research study individuals.
Transforming things up.
A lot of us like at the very least a little of selection in our lives. As well as it can aid reignite a trigger when sex in a long-term partnership comes to be a little boring. Possibly that's why numerous people like to fantasize making love with a person various, making love in an uncommon location, or even just having sex in a setting you've never ever tried before.
Frowned on or restricted conditions.
Rulebreaking-- and also the danger of getting captured-- is normally a little bit of an excitement, regardless of the context. And also the adrenaline thrill that features it can likewise heighten a sexual experience substantially. But because there's of the threat of, you recognize, being arrested for points like public sex, it's easy to understand that individuals like to act out their desires for it in their dreams. Preferred areas for such illicit encounters consist of parks, offices, coastlines as well as elevators.
Open partnerships.
Comparable to the propensity for threesomes, a great deal of individuals like to entertain the idea of opening up their connection to consist of new partners-- with their better half's authorization, naturally. (If you're thinking about making your fantasy a fact, our overview on how to have an open relationship might be available in convenient.) Other individuals prefer the concept of being able to see their partner have sex with another person.
Interest and also romance.
Ends up that sex-related dreams don't constantly require to be filthy. In fact, a great deal of individuals simply think concerning having significant sex that makes them really feel desired (and also excellent in bed). Sometimes, people will likewise make use of the fantasy 'boost' facets of their body or sexual performance that they're not satisfied with in the real world.
Same-sex experiences, gender-bending and sexual versatility.
As society as a whole ends up being even more aware of the reality that both gender as well as sexuality are nuanced ranges, individuals are coming to be much more comfortable discovering their very own sexuality. Heterosexual-identifying females specifically exposed that they usually daydream about sex with other women, and a minimum of a quarter of heterosexual-identifying guys surveyed stated they fantasize regarding sex with other men or with a transgender lady. In a recent research study, some extremely rather fascinating truths regarding the complexities of sexual fantasies as well as exactly how they vary according to gender and sexual orientation we uncovered. Male, for example, are most likely to have fantasies that are rather explicit as well as entail several partners. What's more, they tend to focus on details body components-- both their very own, and also those of their companion(s)-- rather than simply on a sexual act. In general, their imagined sexual escapades were mainly anchored in the physical. Women, on the other hand, are a lot more inclined to concentrate on even more psychological or romantic details like scene setup-- like a gorgeous coastline, a moonlit night, or a stunning woodland. Typically there's likewise more of a build-up in their fantasies, like eyes fulfilling across the area, strolling along that beach, or obtaining captured in a rainstorm together. This is in line with the truth that females commonly require foreplay to aid prepare their minds and bodies for the actual act of intercourse. These differences between men's and ladies's fantasies seemed to be true despite sexual preference. One more fascinating insight? Women daydream most often during ovulation, but their fantasies are usually different during that time because it alters what women discover eye-catching. Dr. Lehmiller also located that, for all genders, the content of our sex-related dreams has a tendency to differ depending on our mental state at the time. As an example, when we are really feeling insecure, our dreams might involve scenarios that increase self-esteem, such as a story around self-reliance or being sexually tempting. CALL 1-800-841-8742

Escape From “Down There”
I was recently teased for my affinity for dirty novels.  What can I say?  Sometimes I like to read something for the sensation. 
That being said, I want to touch base on the Fifty Shades trilogy.  This was the HOTTEST set to hit the shelves.  Women everywhere were lost to reality in favor of the dirty, yet somehow romantic, Christian Grey.  He does all the dirty, base, animalistic things that are forbidden.  But somehow he finds compassion to actually “make love” to the virgin narrator, Anastasia Steele.  The core of Christian’s pleasure is BDSM.  Crazy stuff, amiright??  He brings Ana into this world, hoping to have another dom/sub conquest.  But during the progression of the three books, somehow she ends up being the truly dominant one.  Yay, women.
Now I need to call bullshit on a couple things.  I know that this is completely fantasy, and meant to fill some void somewhere (pun absolutely intended).  But if you’re going to write a dirty novel there are a few requirements:
1)  Expand your vocabulary.  I don’t mean this as a “word of the day” kind of vocab.  I mean make direct reference to a vagina or penis (yeah!  I said it!).  Reading E. L. James’ sex scenes made me laugh, and eventually cringe.  Ana constantly refers to her genitalia as down there.  Really?!  I have a “down there.”  It’s kind of weird to call it that.  I mean, if I were to pick a word or name I might go with Vanessa.  Ah, alliteration.
Go ahead… I’ll wait.
My other concern with vocabulary was everything was “so freaking hot.”  Granted, it probably is.  But, again, there are more ways to describe the sensation of the entire sexual act.  I’m sure many women have talked to their friends about the minutia of the act.  Down to the smell.  “So freaking hot” just doesn’t cover it.
2)  I found Christian Grey’s character to be grossly unrealistic.  I know.  I’ve probably just committed a horrible blasphemy.  But here it is…
Christian is a Dominant man - in his career and in his bed.  He has a damn contract for sex!  The man gets what he wants, when he wants, no questions asked.  I do know that there are women in history who have made men turn the world over for them.  But I hardly think Anastasia Steele is a Helen of Troy.  The overwhelming depression that Christian sinks into when Ana leaves him is not in character with a powerful and domineering man’s man.  Angry?  Violent?  Aloof?  Manipulative?  These are things I would equate with the man Christian Grey is supposed to be.
Aside from these issues, I think the published novels are a great rough draft, and were cut short before they could truly be appreciated.  More research, add more intriguing physical exchanges, and PLEASE check out Urban Dictionary.  Or watch porn.  Either will work.
