"this would be so good if it was good" might just be my favourite sentence to use when analysing any media
because it's not a meaningless thing to say
some things will always be mid at best, but sometimes things that suck could be so good, if only they were good

watching sinners with an inflation calculator open in a second tab so i can understand just what kinda money the smokestack twins are throwing around. nerdiest possible movie experience i think.
Okay coming out of lurking for this because among the many great features of Sinners is you don't actually have to go outside of the movie to understand what kind of money they're throwing around. The movie tells you itself.
In the scene where Smoke teaches the young girl how to negotiate, they're standing in front of of a cafe. The shot of them negotiating is framed so that you see a sign in the cafe window advertising a Ham and Eggs breakfast - in other words, a full meal - for 25 cents. The editing makes sure to put that sign back into frame whenever the question of the value of money arises in their discussion.
Smoke offers her 10 cents a minute and asks if that works for her. She says yes. He says no, it does not and tells her to negotiate higher. The 25 cent sign is framed in the shot when he tells her no, reminding us *why* it's not a good value.
She comes back with 50 cents - which the sign has informed us is the cost of *two* meals. Smoke tells her that's too much and counters with 20, which is just under a full meal but we now know that's a fairly respectable price because we just got the high/low contrast of 10 being too little and 50 being too much.
The negotiation ends with her getting 20 cents per minute and we now know 1) 25 cents is the cost of a filling meal in this environment 2) This girl only needs to do five minutes of work to be able to feed herself for a over day (20 cents per minute times five is a dollar, which is four meals) 3) Smoke has the kind of money to throw around that over a day's worth of food for someone can be to him - as it is to our modern eyes - mere pocket change and 4) Smoke's the kind of person who can both be a violent gangster but also care about teaching this girl how to look out for herself so that one day maybe she too can throw over a day's worth of food around like pocket change.
Combined with 5) you can now use that 25 cents = a meal to do the math every other time money gets mentioned in the movie to understand just how much cash the Smoke Stack boys are dealing with.
And that's just ONE detail which, thanks to props (Hannah Beachler), editing (Michael P Shawver), and cinematography (Autumn Durald Arkapaw), told you almost everything you needed to know about how finances work in this environment. This movie is unfair to all other films in how fucking good it is.

Please delete this if you’re uncomfortable with questions like these but do you happen to have any resources on writing Black characters in smut/kink scenarios? I write a LOT of porn and I’ve included many Black characters in my works, and I know the basics of what to avoid that’s blatantly racist in terms of depiction and kink content, but would you happen to know of anywhere I could find some more extensive resources? I want to be sure that my characters are portrayed well and that any Black folk who interact with my work will be able to properly enjoy it!
I mean, I don't think that Black people have sex any differently than anybody else 😅 the only important thing is to understand the dynamics of how you're describing and depicting these characters, and that's still sociological and comes back to the regular lessons. But no, I don't have any resources myself. I'll leave this here.
so imma take a crack at answering this. its important to be aware of the racial, gender, sexual politics and dynamics when creating such media as someone who's nonblack. its unfortunate fact but white supremacy, colonialism and american chattel slavery has impacted nearly every aspect of life world wide even on a deeper psychological/subconscious level. in terms of gender and sexuality as it pertains to black people, particularly black americans. there are so many tropes and stereotypes that sprung up from these atrocities of humankind and our continued oppression that morphed into other forms but all remain spiritually the same. The mandingo, the buck, the homothug, the YN, the nonchalant dreadhead. The jezebel, the sapphire, the mammy, the ghetto gagger, the beautiful mulatto, the fast girl, the bull dagger. We also exist in this weird double edged sword of dehumanization in regards to our gender, gender expression, and sexuality. All created to justify the systemic rape, murder and sexual assault we faced throughout history. These tropes are so pervasive, especially in regards to black manhood/masculinity its near inescapable in any arenas with NSFW content. These were the recommended questions i was suggested by ust searching on quora (a SFW site for posing questions) for firsthand accounts of black people with an interest in BDSM
Note the objectification aspect, not even to referring to any hypothetical black man as as man in this fantasy but simply cutting him down to his penis.
Simultaneously de-gendered and desexualized but also fetishized and believed to have an insatiable libido. We're incapable of being viewed as beautiful, handsome, sexy or worthy of romantic pursuit or attraction that isn't based in objectification. This all gets compounded more when you factor in fatness, queerness and transness. Its a very complex topic for sure and not every black person has the same ideals or opinions. Some black folks can easily engage with nonblacks no matter the sexual dynamic and see no issue with it. There are a myriad of black people out there, black women with white male partners and black men and with white female partners that may engage with certain sexual dynamics. To each their own. Its a hard topic for sure. On one hand if you consistently have your black characters being 'dominant' or 'aggressive' one you can run into racial stereotyping that regards black sexual desire as inherently domineering or violent. On the other if you have the black character being consistently submissive in a way it could read as wanting to see black people as subservient, especially when you through white people in the mix.
From the very quick research I did, I see a lot of black cis women with a casual interest in BDSM have a desire for submission whereas mostly the women who do it professionally are dommes. It really depends, some black women see being submissive not just a representation of their sexuality but also an affirmation of their femininity and womanhood. They may not feel comfortable being forced into a sexually aggressive/dominant role because it mirrors the jezebel/sapphire trope of black women being angry and domineering, beliefs that led to again justifying their degendering and dehumanization. To regard black women as not really women, not feminine enough, not worthy of protection, not worthy of help and doting on etc. Additionally some black cis women prefer to be in a dominant role, especially involving white or nonblack partners. They feel that being sexually submissive/bound in scenes harkens back to ideals and imagery where black women were forced under sexual slavery and systemic rape, so they see being dominant as a reclamation of power from past subjugation.
it gets compunded even more when you take transness in regard. within transfeminity and trans fem sexuality there's a term called comptop, similar to comphet (short for compulsory heterosexuality, the psychological phenomenon of gay men and lesbians experiencing not genuine attraction to the opposite gender but this being a symptom of homophobia forcing them to deny their real desires) comptop being short for compulsory topping where a trans women/fem feels she always has to be the top in whatever sexual situation she is because of her assigned gender at birth. Additionally you add blackness with perceived maleness, and black trans fems are overwhelmingly expected to always act in a similar manner regardless of her own sexual desires (especially within the realm of sex work). Kat Blaque is a black trans women writer, activist, artist, public speaker and video essayist whom i've been subscribed to for at least 10 years. She also someone who is actively vocal about being polyamorous and and into BDSM. I do also know that her partners are nonblack and she is submissive and has talked before about having to navigate racial and gender dynamics in the relationships she's had.
This is not me comparing trans women to men btw, its just me noting the similarites in which Black AMAB peoples sexualities are regarded. Similarly, like i mentioned the homothug stereotype previously; black cis queer men are always expected to be aggressive/dominant tops. Even in content not made by or featuring black men, be it yaoi/bara/porn etc the darker skinned male character is always larger than the lighter skinned one and always the top. That is a symptom of antiblackness. Similarly, masculine lesbians/studs are also seen as hyper aggressive and expected to be the top as well.
Im gonna try to wrap this up cause this answer is already long answer thats all over the place. But TLDR, just go about it in a respectful way. Be aware of tropes. Also please dont use food as descriptors of black skin tones (coffee, cinnamon, chocolate, etc.) it always comes across as fetishtic when nonblacks do it im sorry. But lastly raceplay is 100% racist no matter what way you invoke it, so please do not engage lbs.
some further resources and writing that you can read to further educate yourself on modern racial dynamics in regards to sexuality and kink.
We've compiled a list of some BIPOC BDSM resources, including BIPOC perspectives on kink and BIPOC BDSM educators who create great content.
Black kink is about pleasure first and foremost. But it’s also bound up with freedom and empowerment

Tumblr Sexyman Contest 2026 Round 5 Part 5
Ekko (Arcane)
Stanford Pines (Gravity Falls)
Ekko for Tumblr Sexyman 2026 LET'S GOOOOOO!!!
There is nothing sexier than a compassion-based revolutionary, so allow me to tell you just how sexy The Boy Saviour really is:
While every other revolutionary in Zaun cares about winning against Piltsover no matter what, Ekko actually cares about the people of Zaun, which is why his focus is on community organising. Yeah, he'll kick some ass when he needs to and look damn good while doing it, but he found a tree growing in the under-city despite all odds, built an entire sanctuary around it, and he refuses to turn anyone away because he has so much compassion in his heart 🥹
2. Ekko has compassion for his enemies while also not letting that cloud his judgement (except for one time against Jinx but the Timebomb shippers would argue that makes him sexier) which is such a rare but important trait to have as a revolutionary. He's someone who understands the necessity of violence, but he doesn't revel in it. He may chew out his oppressors on the Piltsover Council, but his only demand is that they give his people the rights and respect they deserve, because then he wouldn't have to fight against other less compassionate "revolutionaries" who are taking advantage of the people's desperation.
3. Ekko may be tough as nails to outsiders, but under the surface, he is a tender-hearted young man who was forced to grow up way too fast. His father figure was murdered and his crush was groomed to become a murderer by the very man who killed him. Ekko lost his whole found family in the course of a few days, and despite all that, Ekko never grew up to be resentful or give into despair. Instead, he made it his goal to fight like hell for a better future, no matter the cost to himself, so no other child would have to go through what he did or carry the same weight as he does.
4. Ekko was so right about everything that in Season 2 the writers had to send him to another dimension so he wouldn't expose all the flaws in his centrist messaging. Did you read that? If being a compassion-based revolutionary is the sexiest thing ever, then that means Ekko was sexy enough to scare the writers of Arcane, and the show was made actively worse for it. If they embraced Ekko's correctness and sexiness, we could've had an amazing Season 2.
5. Following on from him being sent to another dimension, this was one where he was given the peaceful life he was denied: his adopted father is still alive, his crush was never taken in by a drug lord, and Ekko could have spent the rest of his days in that peaceful reality, but he still chooses to go back to the world that is cold and hard and cruel. Why? Because the people in his reality still needed him! (And because he didn't want to steal this life from the Ekko of this peaceful reality.) That is so profoundly selfless, and so utterly sexy of him.
Ekko has so much love in his heart for everyone and everything. He won't burn the world down for you, but he will change it for the better so you can finally live in peace. It is far, far easier to destroy the world than change it, which makes it the undeniably sexiest choice a man can make for you. And that is why...
I SUPPORT EKKO FOR TUMBLR SEXYMAN 2026!!!
sometimes I think about how far we still have to go with consent
my worst relatives try to sneak meat or meat products into my food despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian
my ex's brother gave his mother an edible without her knowledge and when she got freaked out and paranoid they laughed, and people I've told that go "yeah that's shitty but it's just weed"
when I go to the doctor and ask them to describe what they are going to do before touching me they get frustrated
when I ask a friends of a friend who is a small influencer to keep me out of frame in videos they film for social media in public they look at me like I've pissed in their cereal
idk man, we've got a long way to go.
