a reminder for people to lock in and do what they need to do ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა

pseudo-sex is amazing and way better and deeper than actual sex. this is because erotic is no longer erotic when it comes to sex because they have reached the limits. we cant demand anymore since it's "no longer bait/ succeeds in sexual fields" and it leaves no room for diverging or thinking for the gooner. some great examples that no reader, or specifically me, cant resist and get bored of are of following:

Banter, whether academic, emotional, angsty, bittersweet, or just straightup horny, is exceptional, especially when it is done back and forth and are on equal grounds. This phenomenon creates tension and adds substance along with meaning and room for imagination and critical thinking. In addition, it may show the dynamic and how they show expression in wording and how they think.

Subconsious Devotion is a great mention because the nature of this is already worship. It is just nature for Character A to show empathy and love to Character B without outright being clingy and obvious. "For some reason the universe has let me be met with my perfect other half, and now it's just second nature to let you haunt me and see you as heavenly, and sometimes my mind drifts to you without me letting go of my self restraint, sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing you a favor and sometimes I have to remind myself that you aren't mine." type shit. It's usually one of the most beloved thing in slow burn literature among readers.

Fantasies are a remarkable shout out. Need I say more? It has so much potential and creative direction is left for both the reader and the writer. It can be anything of choice: smutty, soft, slice-of-life, meet-cute, sentimental, etc. Needless to say, this is perfect for any type of dynamic and relationship, platonic, familial and best of all, romantic. It also is pretty well done in asexual fiction, too, especially since it is more than "oh i want to fuck them" and so much more deeper and thoughtful.

overall, i just have chronic queerbait stockholm syndrome and am just showing my opinion and favourite tropes. have a good morning, afternoon, evening, and midnight, tumblr user <3

if you work in a creative field...or if you do creative hobbies like writing or drawing...you need to make friends with people who don't do those things. you need to befriend normie Steve who has never written a story in his life. and this is because when you are in a creative job or hobby and spend all your time doing that thing, surrounded by very capable people, who you inevitably compare your own progress and skills to, you forget what the baseline human skill at that thing is. and it's usually zero. normie Steve has not written a story since the 3rd grade when his teacher made him do it. he's very good at other things that are not storytelling - but if you tell normie Steve that you wrote a full 300-page book from start to finish, he will think you're some kind of savant. he does not know ANYONE else who has done this. you need this perspective. because when you're constantly on Let's Write Stories dot Com then everyone on Let's Write Stories dot Com will inevitably be like "oh of course everyone on earth has written a book or several at this point!" and you canNOT let yourself think that. that is not even close to the average human experience. you are in a bubble. do not put yourself down. do not give up.

REAL AND TRUE. my newest normie steve does 40 mile bike rides on a whim and excels at outdoor rock climbing. i will always hype him up.

people should realize that their OCs are made to self indulge a lot without any consequences! you fantasize about cannabalism but don't want to actually take a bite? hey, ryan, the chekhov worshipper plumber seems a litte hungry! you want to mansplain about astronomy and meatballs without actually doing it? seems like aetherius the enby, secretly fae bartender needs some more intelligence and more bitchiness! "what if it doesn't work out/make sense" okay, look:

people have alot of hobbies and characteristics, usual and weird and funky, it doesn't need to follow a theme (though it'll make sense if your economy major "calm and chill whenever everything comes my way and if not i hyperventilate and pour out my anger in my social media" natalie have some sort of superior complex to your liberal arts major "in love with reading graphic porn with a lot angst and interdisciplinary fields" tommy)! just get messy and it'll work out!

you and i are 50th (or closer) cousins, so the fact that your corporate manager ciaran has a rock band will make sense slowly as you enhance and understand his story more and more. the average human have very complex thoughts and nature always. but in the end, there is some sort of reason to such thoughts and actions. because of which, the thing you really need to work out are their mindset and their background before adding all the seasoning. you need pasta and the sauce first before adding garlic and mint leaves.

anyways, in the end, it is your oc, whether they make sense or not is up to artistic statement. you can make them based off of absurdism or fallibilsm or anything your heart desires. but i do think/hope this may or may not have helped you in a way or another. point is, the human mind and soul can not be organized, their features compliment eachother, but they dont necessarily have to be on the same field. the human mind is pretty plot-driven since moments, memories and stories make impact more than you can think. therefore, not only self indulging is allowed but also very much encouraged if they get character arc throughout the story. happy writing! dont let lyrielle the sawing-machine-lover get you tonight :)

[hobbyenthusiasm]

“oh, i dont like doing diverse activities since im organized—” shut up. like why does this comment exist. minds exist to be clunky and full of life, susan. hands and feet exist to do things of your soul’s choice. your interests dont have to follow a theme or a pinterest board, susan. are you so soulless that the only judgement of your value can only come from an observer from afar with no way to be truly accurate?

genuinely, people are out here making such cliche romantic, "angelic" gestures in their characters that are just so boring and obvious fanservice with no purpose into the plot and their character study/arc. instead of leaning to the wall seductively and smirking smugly yet attractively, here are some ways to actually add something of substance rather than just a cheesy and cringe romcom.

Character A can have an ethical dilemma of their lust over Love Interest and how, through trial and error, decided to do, or accidentally did for Plot Twist to happen. This not only gives the audience what they want, but also show Character A's logical thinking, personal ideals, ideology and speech patterns.

Make Character A do their average daily routine but way more sloppily, even the things they are expert at seem to be at beginners level because of their unbearable growing infactuation for Love Interest, making them question everything. This helps to show the impact of the relationship and show what Character A's standards, their way of procedures are, and how they panic and how they deal, or not deal, with said dreadful realization.

Yes, there can be a horny scene, but I recommend adding some sort of long-term consequence, with first-party's or third-party's, appearances, reputation, imagery, and so on. They have sex, cool, but what about the morning after? What about next month? Do they dwell on it and have blue balls forevermore? Or do they just move on, yet still subconsiously viewing the other slightly off?

How do they show signs of affection, or not show signs of affection? Put them into situations where they have to interact. They can be more considerate, be more bastardous, be more depressed, can give the one they desire a cup of tea sweetly to seduce them or splash it into the other's face. This gives you a sweet opportunity to give an analysis of their reactive behavior in newly changed social dynamics. Not only that, this can also let you study other relationships in Character A's life, since Love Interest can obviously affect more than directly.

anyways, if necessary, i may or may not add on to the list, but PLEASE, for the love of GOD, make them more than just hookup culture and bloom them into something! destructive or healing, just make them something more is enough.

[hobbyenthusiasm]

i think people arent dwelving and hyperventilating into their works enough so here are five ways you can add something to your work:

write a very ambiguous plotline, leaving space to try your best to secretly mansplain about real world problems and fictional world problems (moderately) while also self indulging in some fantasies you'll never try yourself but will let your characters fulfill them for you

give them something to work with people! options, memories, stories, concepts! in fact, make it an entire huge buffet so they all can live tragic lives but really diverse and different

interdisciplinary is key, please give them depth; they are sentient, so they cannot be too plain. i reccomend social media apps with human and raw posts, good choices are tumblr, pinterests, and ao3. anything is up to you, though!

the universe is weird already, so anything unusual your mind can conjure is none of embarassment's worries. there is always a way to fit it into your storyline.

add some sort of homoerotic subtext for tension our hearts all desire, preferably originating from native folklore and vampirism.

happy writing, and dont let the all-seeing eye get ya! :D

a poem i wrote for funsies #1

I would gouge my eyes to show you my blind loyalty

I would cut my hands to forever bound my last memories of soft, loving touch to you

You could burn my skin off until all that is left are my vulnerable bones and I would call it an act of loving and a novelty

Because all of me is all for you to love and to use

And all you are to me is a god, an owner, and someone I could forever trust.

And to ruin myself to show you my love I must.

[hobbyenthusiasm]

i really like having a lot of different interests from interdisciplinary fields and non-relating fields because i feel oddly godly and not at the same time. i feel like im a being of a thousand lives, a wearer of millions of skins and minds, mankind's man and an individual. i want to be everything and nothing, to be transient like the graceful waves and to be an unmovable stone, rock hard, sticking onto the ground. i want to be everywhere like the dirt and haunt everybody for better or for worse, like the air and sunlight they bask in and can't live without. and at the same time i want to be like a dog in a pretty cage degraded to no meaning but to serve as just pitiful entertainment. i want to be looked up to and looked down upon. who else can mold themselves into anything they desire, be everything the universe can conjure up to, be above in the paradise of heaven and be in the depths of hell, a paradise nontheless? only gods do. but in the end i am a simple woman and just a speck in the infinite timeline soon to be forgotten, but in the end i still can be a god in my own universe. i think lazing in my potato bed and jerking off to very niche & specific fictional characters is only a tiny part of my unyielding power and capability, but its one of my interests and what i like to do :)

this may or not be the "everyone is always watching me and i must forever perform" mentality jean-paul sarte warned us about in his existential works

[hobbyenthusiasm]

me with all of my leftover extracurriculars that never really resonated with me. me with all of my no longer close friends who made me even hungrier for meaning and left me behind. me with all of my fanart from an unknown fandom in a long forgotten drawing app thrown into the recycle bin. me with all my poems that i've turned into origami planes floating somewhere in a gutter. me with every work of art ive ever consumed and created that satiated me for a little while. me with memories i still don't know whether to let go or not to forget. me with dreams that confused me but still tried to find any tangible meaning. me with reflections to see what i am doing with my life and make out a meaning out of it

Brian Cotnoir, from On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy

[hobbyenthusiasm]

this is amazing really. to want to change is alchemy itself. you have to know such revolutionary things such as what you need to change, what you want to be in the long term, what you truly are, for improvement and experience, tinkering with your soul and molding yourself into what your "best" self is. its truly amazing thinking about it, to transform from a little caterpillar into a colorful butterfly with its wings made for admiration of the process and the result.

[hobbyenthusiasm]

i really like reading (esp angsty stories), but one small(?) trope/character dynamic i have a love/hate relationship with is the "falling-out-of-belief in somebody you once called a god" or the, more professionally, "gradual desidolia crumbling" because it reminds me too much of my deadbeat dad but its SO good. like, this mental shrine i made of you was filled with every godly assumption of you, every holy virtue you had, and was made for me just to admire you more; i thought of you as immortal, all-knowing, fascinating; but soon after, i realized you were still just a man. ESPECIALLY when it's only by ONE word when they snap out of it and realize their blind faith, it hits close to home but i miss my home sometimes. a dead house is never truly a dead house when it once had memories.

i miss what've thought of him sometimes

[hobbyenthusiasm]

i think, by definition, hobbies should NOT be called hobbies, or GOD FORBID, a hyperfixiation, if they dont actually represent, showcase you and your self concept, arent fun/needed to do by default/nature without even questioning the urge to do said activity, and arent in absolute love and desire with it. i'd say i like doing math but would i ever call it a "hobby" of mine? no! i guess i like doing it but devoting myself to it? creating something that i proudly display and gaze at it in awe of how fascinating its nature is? make it my entire personality and ultimate goal in life? my one and only soulmate? ABSOLUTELY NOT???? what i would call my hobby is reading angsty smut from an aroace indian enby from the deep trenches of AO3 and bombarding bazillions of poetry & love letters to them in their inbox. that's what i love to do. shut up about what your "hobbies" are if they arent, at the very least, which they usually arent, fun to do and are just for show and PR purposes.
