i think the thing that bothers me about the “everything is sex, even/especially things that aren’t literally sex” mindset that i keep seeing around—and specifically the positioning of it as this enlightened way of thinking—is that it is still holding up sex as the highest, most special and important form of intimacy possible. you know?? this is a moment of immense intensity and vulnerability and intimacy, therefore it must be sex, and in fact that’s the truest and realest and coolest way to read it. as though those things can’t exist outside of that framework.

idk man i just want sex to be a Normal Thing. not the most appalling shameful thing that no one should ever talk about so that the thought of something being created for a fetish makes people recoil, AND ALSO not held up as the Height Of Human Connection such that all art and all connection can and should be reinterpreted through it. both of those things suck.

“these characters’ feelings/actions towards each other are so intense and intimate, there is no platonic explanation, it has to be romantic” 🤝 “this scene/activity is so intense and intimate, it’s fundamentally sex”

had a fucked up dream i had a book that turned out could never be read again the same as the first time because each reread the characters became incrementally more aware that the events of the book had happened before and they were “reliving” it and i reread enough times that they became self aware, figured out they were in a book, acknowledged me as the reader, and some lost their minds or had existential crises, became violent to other characters or themselves, some begged me to never stop reading or they ceased to exist and others begged me to end it all stop reading and keeping them trapped in the endless loop of torment, and the literal only way to get the book back to its first run was to hand it off to someone else to read for the first time and for some reason i physically couldn’t tell anyone about it so i’d have to just hope whoever i gave it to would only read it once and i could never open the book again to check if they were okay and back to normal because i was terrified of fucking them all up again :(

i'm glad people are finding this fun as a concept and making references to stuff that this reminds them of but i really gotta express how bad of a nightmare this was for me. i had fallen in love with the original story and characters (though on waking i couldn't tell you the details), unintentionally warped their story beyond recognition, and found myself an unwitting god that could not provide mercy for some without doling torment to others. one of the characters started offing themselves every time i started another reread. stress dream doesn't even begin to cover it

I just looked through OP's blog and every single poll is a popular m/f ship vs. reylo (with similar results). I don't understand.

[cordezshenanigans]

There was an actual bracket, but reylo got obliterated in round one, and after the poll was done, someone suggested it would be funny to do a "bonus round" where every tournament contestant is pitted against reylo to see how many ships, if any, reylo can beat

[charlesoberonn]

I hope it's none.

[lindleland]

It is beating exactly one of them.

[beenovel]

NOTHING could have prepared me for that

In your 20s, you'll feel like you're losing the race. It's important to understand that there is no race.

When you try to talk about enshittification, it sounds like conspiracy theories. (I'm not crazy)

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

So I talk about enshittification (it sounds crazy), so people don't forget that things have been made worse on purpose (it's true), even though I sound crazy. (maybe I am)

[mckitterick]

they used to call this kind of thing "planned obsolescence," and it was illegal

[horaitos]

ok ok we joke but I legitimately did not know you were supposed to masturbate while reading smut. I just thought huh is this what things being hot feels like. shrug. and left it at that. stone cold face when reading fic. may sound like parody but I am being super fr here
