[fatalism-and-villainy]

You've made me think a lot about kink and sexual dynamics and sadism and eroticism in general -- it's something I've definitely learned a lot from you about and something that has been really interesting/important to me to learn, too! It's been both on the personal side and more academic discussions side.

Oh man, that really means a lot! I do remember talking about that kind of thing with you a lot in our danmei days, and I feel like my understanding and personal theorizing about that stuff has evolved so much since then. (We’ve acknowledged wanting to talk more but not having topics, so maybe we should revisit this one.)

[The discussion topic, for those who missed it, is “a topic I’ve changed your mind about, made you reconsider your perspective on, or otherwise strongly influenced your thinking about”]

[Drawing of a Spider-sona, "Orb Weaver". They are a person with pale skin and short, curly red hair. They are sitting in a wheelchair that is gray with gold wheels, with two versions: "normal" mode (see below), with a manual wheelchair, and "super" mode (see above), where the wheels have separated into pieces and unfolded into spider legs. In super mode, the wheelchair also has a tall "thorax" back made of teal hard light, and more hard light screens Orb Weaver is tapping at. The back of the chair has a zig-zag shaped "signal" coming out the top, mimicking the shape of orb weaver spider webs. Small signals come out of fly-like drones as well. Orb Weaver is wearing a yellow suit with black gloves and boots, a gray torso, and zippers down the sides of the shirt. There is gold accents and their face is uncovered, with big Spider-man glasses.]

AU where JGY succeeds in making NMJ a controllable fierce corpse?

When he returns from the secluded pavilion on the outskirts of Lanling, Nie Mingjue looks fairly a mess, even aside from the black lines scrawled up his face: hairpiece askew and braids half-torn out, and bloodstains all down his shimmering grey robes, an amount almost surprising for being sliced out of just one man.

Alone in the Jin’s treasure room (his treasure room, now), Jin Guangyao draws the ruined robes down from Mingjue’s shoulders; has him sit, and busies his fingers running through the thick, inky strands of his hair, combing them out and twisting them back together into the elaborate arrangement that the years haven’t yet dulled from his mind.

When he’s finished, he circles back around to look over his work, catching a glimpse of his own nearly frail-looking frame reflected back at him in the black of Mingjue’s eyes - with a small knot threatening to grow in his stomach, he reaches into the thread of spiritual energy connecting them and issues a command, so that a moment later, a strong, cold arm circles around and pulls him in close, and Jin Guangyao closes his eyes, leans into the space between his chin and his chest, and whispers, “Da-ge.”

Have you played We Know The Devil? It is about magical girl summer camp for Bad Magical Kids. mind the tws, but i do like the characters jealously saying that girls at the OTHER camp even get transformation sequences

I have not played it, but I did look into it! I never knew it was part of the magical girl genre though. Apparently I didn’t look into it enough

Maybe a 1? I think you're very smart and cool and respect you, but also you are one of the first people I think of when I find something cursed and wish to inflict it on people, and I feel like people I feel comfortable sending sexy nikola tesla to are people i can't claim to be intimidated by

You’re valid. I’m valid. We’re all so valid.

Fanfic asks 2, 15, 25?

2. least favorite fic you wrote this year 

I don’t think I have any least favourites? There’s definitely a couple where I am like “It would be better if I hadn’t been trying to get a short fic done in ~2 hours” but that would be a bit like saying “this 1 minute thumbnail sketch I did as an exercise in drawing fast would be better as a full blown painting,” you know?

(Working out which fics I tried to finish in 2 hours is left as an exercise to the reader.)

15. something you learned this year 

I can write ~10k words in a short amount of time accidentally. to guard and guide you was not planned to be nearly 10k, it just kind of happened. Last year was the year I (re-)learned that I can write long things, this year I learned I could write long things without it necessarily being a huge production.

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

It may not be in the spirit to recommend a fic I read several years ago that I re-read this year, but considering I re-read it at least once every year, I think it counts: These Gifts You Have Given Me by thearrogantemu
