Love when writers do an insane amount of unnecessary research for their fics. I follow an author that did like 8 months of intense research into 14th century Scotland so they could write smut about it, and guess what. It was some fucking incredible porn AND I learned about old Scottish politics
You work in a factory that builds intelligent war machines, built and forced to fight in a constant war. Out of either sympathy or habit, you head-pat every machine after every inspection. A seemingly harmless gesture… until men in suits pulled you from work and interrogated you about it.
“I’m sorry. Could you repeat that, please? I must have misheard you.” I was raised to be polite, and I’m not about to stop now (there are so many guns in this room) so I resist adding “because that is the fucking stupidest thing I have ever heard” to the end of the sentence.
I may as well have spared myself the trouble. The cold face of the high-ranking military man on the other side of the table only gets, if this is possible, colder. His lips are pressed flat, and I think there might be some sort of undiagnosed blood pressure problem, because he’s turning a very unnatural purple.
“Every. Goddamn. One. Of the units that have come through your maintenance line in the last six months are now showing signs of instability. If you can’t identify the problem for me in the next five minutes, you and everyone you know are going to spend the rest of your lives in high-security prison.”
*sighs* I love that Lady Aphrodite's war aspects are getting more notice and appreciation on tiktok but it's always at the cost and dimishment of her love and beauty aspects
do you know how many terrifying and truly horrific acts have been made in the name of love. Lowkey, it's just rebranded sexism tbh
Aphrodite is so multifaceted. don't bring down one aspect of her being to elevate another. Especially when it's getting more and more common to shit on the more "feminine" aspects of a goddess to elevate the stabby aspects
But tell me something, universe, why didn't MY grandpa leave me the deed to a dilapidated farm on the edge of a quaint village populated by quirky but lovable people with disparate issues that I can solve with my helpful spirit and farmerly demeanor?
Okay so like, nothing is better than having a really bad or just long day, getting home, booting up your computer, and getting to re-play comfort games/dating sims. ESPECIALLY when said games have pronoun options and either a customizable appearance for MC or a complete lack of imagery for MC.
Here's a list of some of my comfort games + dating sims (under the cut)!
