i keep using 'blorbo' to refer to my own OCs to the point i forget its supposed to be a fandom term. yeah i know blorbo from my shows. and those shows? only airing inside my own brain and the dms of a few lucky friends, baby.

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

[fieldbears]

If I didn't want readers to chew on it, I wouldn't have spent all that time on the mouthfeel

This is true when you think about it

Ever since starting to publish romance novels I’ve been checking out the romance books at the thrift store specifically for the clinch covers, as a reference for what I might want to do with my own books.

As a culture we mocked these to extinction but I think we were just afraid of their power. The modern clinch revival still hasn't reached the heady heights of what they were doing in the 80s! The vintage covers can be really quite explicit. These ones in particular were steamy enough they had to be hidden on an inner flap.

This episode of the Smart Bitches Trashy Books podcast where they interview Shirley Green and Sharon Spiak, who were romance novel cover artists in the 80s, is a fascinating look at what a huge industry these covers were. Did you know they had whole photography studios full of props to make these? They’d take photos and turn those over to a painter who’d make something like a couple of these a day. They had it down to a science.

Here is a particular favourite of mine, also by Sharon Spiak!

While I don't disagree that the paintings, especially the one in the reblog directly above, are gorgeous. I do think it's worth warning people that there are multiple paintings on the website linked (sharonspiakart.com) that have the g-slur in the title, as well as at least one painting featuring violence against Indigenous Peoples.

Actually no, I'm editing this to paste in my original tags here too, because after scrolling through the over 8,000 reblogs I didn't notice a single other person bring this up:

#this isn't even getting into the fact that in every single painting the man(while still always arguably white) is darker than the woman #the only people of color featured in any of the paintings(1) were active victims of settler colonial violence #although absolutely being portrayed as the aggressors with the white man with a gun being framed heroically #even in the singular painting that isn't a straight couple the woman who's obviously meant to seem more 'masculine' #(thought not by much) is darker skinned than the more classically feminine woman who's very pale with bright golden blonde hair #I don't think this is shit that should be consumed uncritically #like the racism is glaring you guys #it's really really glaring

its so weird to me that cis people will dislike their name so ardently and yet. not change it. you guys know that’s an option, right. no one can make you keep the shit name your mom gave you. no, not even her.

[quietwingsinthesky]

“it’s so embarrassing that my parents named me X” you can pick a new one. why are you letting ur mommy and daddy decide what name you wear. do u let them choose your outfits too. you are a grown adult and you can call yourself naruto if you want. no one is gonna stop you.

real talk I think steampunk is kinda neat like sorta neat you'know like as a little touch of spice to a setting that shouldn't normally have that kinda stuff. like a robot arm here a gun there some contraptions elsewheres. like skies of arcadia levels of steampunk is pretty much ideal. but y'see ultimately I'm pro-steampunk as a concept. but real talk for a second if your setting has a place called "the clockwork [location or concept]" I'm gonna beat you to death with hammers.

[shrimp-dicked-fuck-nugget]

Sounds like someone's just salty theyre stuck in my clockwork labyrinth again

I know you're laughing at me I can hear the sprockets on your brown tophat jingling and once I find my way out of here you're fucking toast dude

[taylortut]

you know what’s wild is that all these crazy standards we hold ourselves to are things that we don’t even value in another person? like i’ve never been like “wow I love that this friend of mine is too proud to ask for help and never complains about their feelings” or “my favorite quality about this friend is that they get straight A’s and never get overwhelmed and has never told me about a problem” or “i love that this friend has never been wrong about anything or slipped up and said something embarrassing once in their life” and yet here we are, pushing ourselves past our limits for and beating ourselves up over slipups of things that our friends probably wouldn’t even rank in the top 50 reasons they like us
