Something that's been on my mind is seeing the idea that in order for smut to be valid to write it has to have a purpose. It has to say something about the characters, it has to serve as a tool for the plot, it has to have some deep meaning beyond the sex acts involved.
And honestly, that's not true no matter how much some very vocal people might insist that smut without a 'purpose' is just porn and porn is shameful to make and consume.
It's okay to write smut because you think the concept is hot. It's okay to write it just because you want to give your readers jerk off material about their favorite characters. It's absolutely, 100% fine to write smut for smut's sake.
And sure, you want it to be in character, you want to write it so that you can't just file the names off and replace them with anyone. But you can just write something because you think character X should fuck character Y in this very specific way and have that be the end of it.
Call it smut, call it porn, call it whatever. Write the stuff you want to write. You don't have to do literary gymnastics in order to make it 'valid' for anyone, and you especially don't have to make excuses to yourself to justify writing it in the first place.

take that you fucking lake
confession i have never gone skipping stones on a lake and don't know what it is
am i even supposed to ramble on art posts. who knows. i'm doing it anyway though and none of you can stop me. /lh
do you ever just really get very motivated to draw to the point where you're finishing multiple pieces a few days in a row. it's so funny bc the other day i posted about "how do other people post finished pieces every day" and then i proceeded to get the motivation to do the same thing. hopefully i didn't just jinx it oh dear oh god am i gonna end up burnt out
honestly not too proud of the art for this one but i thought of drawing this incorrect quote for a while and it's just a meme post so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
went for a 'chibi' look because i learned that it's difficult to make 'idle' (ie non dynamic) full body poses work in my regular style lmao. either that or i should really draw these two more. also wanted to put a background but i cant draw backgrounds so sketchy painted ish

I’m sorry, but I can’t forgive Anne Rice for not showing the fight between Marius and Arjun, and for not showing the reconciliation between Armand and Marius in Blood Communion. This is especially true for the latter, but I would’ve loved seeing (reading about) Marius dusting Arjun. You know, instead of hearing about how cool the fight was afterwards.

Bc of that one panel in knk where Tobi tells Rei to cook him rice instead of eggs I made this headcanon that he loves rice and now I’m wondering if he would drink chicha…I don’t think he’s surviving that shit it would kill him on impact
