Back at you: truth spell/truth serum! Also (as a separate trope) sex pollen.

so, the thing about truth s[*] is that when it's done well it hits perhaps my biggest and most beloved button for tropes to hit, which is "forced vulnerability (but forced by circumstance, not by either A or B's choice)". and by done well i mean i need there to be a real emotional intensity, whether it creates a bigger conflict (as you discussed in your answer) or whether because the character being spelled/serumed is a major Clam and has never been honest about a feeling ever in their entire life, or because the truth is forced out of them in an especially difficult setting (like in front of people they would rather die than be vulnerable around). i'm fine if the emotional arc really is just "A is magically forced to express their feelings to B and it ends well for both of them", but i need to really feel the force of the emotional dam exploding and the raw bleeding (emotional) wreckage left in its wake. if it's just "oh gosh i don't want to confess this crush, aaaah i'm so embarrassed, oh they immediately said they love me too, yaaaay" it really does nothing for me. i want to bathe in the cathartic misery and anxiety and despair and TENSION before being hit with the tidal wave of relief.

sex pollen: one of my most cancellable opinions is that sex pollen was better when people understood and embraced the fact that it's an inherently dubcon fantasy. if the person affected by the pollen remains in full control of their actions and scrupulously pauses to double check for consent, then you are no longer writing sex pollen, you're writing realistic vanilla sex but slightly sweatier. which is FINE but please stop tagging it "sex pollen" and getting my hopes up. the whole point of sex pollen, and fuck or die tropes in general, is pushing past all the stuff that stands in the way in real life and asking, "but what if they literally had to fuck?" when you make it an option for them to not fuck, you drain all the juice out of it and are left with just a dry husk.

...which is to say, A for the first trope and B for the second, which used to be an A until I was burned too many times.

ask me another!

yknow its interesting how something can impact one demographic in a completely different way than everyone else. in the exorcist when the demon starts speaking in greek, to most people its creepy. but if youre greek and you suddenly start hearing the demon speak perfect fucking greek its genuinely the biggest scare of the movie. you just do not expect to ever hear your language in american movies so it catches you so badly off guard, it feels like the movie is talking directly to you

[liquidstar]

the first time my dad saw it, it was with his american friends. and when she started speaking greek he turned to one of them and was like "re malaka did you hear that in english?"

it’s so hard for me to listen to heartbroken/angry breakup songs by straight men bc no matter how good the song is i’ll be like i’m not sure if i fully believe you. let’s hear her side of the story.

The nondescript laboratory truly does so much for weird sci-fi and fantasy erotica. Why do they have so much equipment? Who funds this enterprise? What is the scientific or academic value in sexually torturing these victims? Is twink cum really worth harvesting in this manner? Who is to say?

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.

In my early-twenties I was addicted to photoshopping my nudes into Hieronymus Bosch paintings, though there came a point when the cohesiveness of the end products began to offend me

He's suing them over it for $25M.

Wyland has said any financial recovery from the suit would support public art, ocean conservation, and environmental education through his foundation.

"This should have been an opportunity to show the world that global sports, public art, and environmental stewardship can stand together," he said. "Instead, a landmark was painted over. We want to do our part to make sure that what happened here does not become the standard for how public art is treated in cities across America."
