max corner @the-hurdy-gurdy-man - Tumblr Blog

Hello there! I'm Max, I'm an adult, and this is where I spout my musings. You will probably bear witness to the classical music autism I was cursed (blessed?) with. I'm transmasc, aromantic, and cupiosexual (so, either aroallo or aroace, depending on how you define things). Human sexuality is a special interest of mine, but I don't have sexual attraction to specific individuals.

If I ever mention “Ben and Peter” I am referring to Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. Yes, my blorbo is a 20th century British composer who had an obsession with adolescent boys. We are normal here in the max corner. (I am also deranged and have an argument that if alive today, he would be considered both autistic and asexual. please ask me about it.)

I do talk about sex/kink sometimes often here, so if that bothers you/you are a minor, probably best to block or not follow me. I am pro-rpf and also like dark themes in my fiction.

I mostly use this account to reblog posts I find funny, insightful, or interesting, as well as occasionally talking about whatever's on my mind. (Will be tagged as #thoughts with max) I love music, but I also like literature, visual arts, and film, as well.

Feel free to send a dm or ask at any time! My stance of online messages is that it's like having a pen pal :)

Favorite composers: Benjamin Britten, Gustav Mahler, Gyorgi Ligeti, Richard Strauss, Late-Era Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Dmitri Shostakovich, Unsuk Chin.

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)

That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.

#so to rance on main again #this is literally rance #it was created with the kink of “how many times can we do: what if the chosen one hero of our video game was an asshole”#and the entire world is created with elaborate geopolitics and a rich history for the sole purpose of letting Rance shit all over it #there are SO many sex scenes where you can only really appreciate their fucked up-ness with the full world context #I'm so glad they take the lore seriously #it's so much funnier because of it

tragic: tumblr user develops new obsession(s) with media that none of their mutuals know or care about

#me and rance #oh my god #most people have never even heard of it but even those who have are not more than a “I know of it”#and then because of the content of the series I also can't just. recommend it normally.#all my friends are gay queers why would I expect them to like the hetslop male power fantasy game series T-T #actually MANY reasons I would and do think they'd like it but I digress #if any mutuals reading this wants in please dm me I will get you a copy of anything and everything

duckbunny

fun fact about character development by the way. you can make them develop worse.

duckbunny

like I mean this very seriously as writing advice. the character should experience events and make decisions that make them different at the end of the story. they should be changed. they do not have to be improved.

they can get worse. they can make decisions of an increasingly terrible nature. they can stop taking risks on kindness. they can discover how much they can get away with. they can find religion, or abandon it, with negative effects on their moral creed. the character has to develop. the character does not have to grow.

#(sees which prev reblogged this)#wonderful taste as always homie #but yeah this is also one of my favorite writing tools ever #Corruption arcs mmhmmmmhm

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

#people get so shocked when I tell them I have 500k words of porn on my ao3 #anyhow I’m now working on a visual novel and this one is not porn but you but your ass one will be

"we live in an uncaring universe"

false. i care very deeply. am i not a part of this infinite universe?

by the way, I may or may not be working on an essay thoroughly analyzing the 30+yr development of a song from a rape-fetish porn game franchise.

it will include musical examples because I am a nerd and am transcribing them T_T

the-hurdy-gurdy-man

TO CLARIFY. the musical example shown is for the 5th game's version, which is when it starts to get musically developed to parallel the story's/protagonist's increasing depth. but yeah I did transcribe the original version, too.

too cool to jerk off to pictures of women with impossible hip to waist ratios yet not cool enough to jerk off to the concept of being killed, the rōnin pervert wanders this land in search of a slightly-higher-concept yet not totally abstract form of fetish posting

tenochre

community-sourced suggestions for the rōnin pervert (and, by extension, me) can broadly be sorted into three categories: 1: fetish that's mundane enough that it makes me realize just how far out of my circle this post has traveled 2: thing I'm already into 3: so esoteric that I feel blessed to have had your attention on my post for even a moment category 1:

category 2:

category 3:

#really specific fetish I like that I never see is superfetation #so it's like impreg but it happens in the middle of pregnancy. and you can just. keep adding them.#absolutely horrifying vomit-inducing but that's what's appealing about it to me.#it's like having multiple parasites growing inside you and then also the gender subjugation aspect is appealing to me.#“does it never end” kind of cycle #tbh impreg kink in general is a kind of genderplay but the world is not ready for that #“isn't all sex impreg kink” yeah no. you have not met an impreg fetishist. there is 100% a power dynamic.

Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.

#me with classical music #will go through periods of being obsessed with a guy and then whenever I listen to those piece again I sigh wistfully #rn I am still that way about a fictional man and it will go back to rpf and then it will go back to a fictional anime face #the cycle WILL repeat and I am NOT sorry

attaching something to an email is so scary. what if i accidentally put hard-core porn in there. i don't think i have any downloaded but what if i do and i attached it to the email. what then.

#I have it downloaded and freely accessible on my computer LMFAO #I often worry about this but I also name my files so it's never been an issue #only time is when I accidentally sent my mom a fanart of Gojo getting his breasts massaged #which was really funny but I wanted to die

I'm kinda nervous and scared to post something so I thought I'd ask here first….

Has anyone gotten hate or like mean comments for Rape/Non-Con fics they posted soloey for being Rape/Non-Con? Or maybe seen it? (all fics properly tagged of course!)

Have you received hate or mean comments on Rape/Non-Con fics (with proper tagging) you've posted solely for being Rape/Non-Con? Or seen other people receive on their fics?

Yes, very often

Yes, sometimes

Once or rarely

Never

I don't read those fics so don't know

#Fascinatingly I very rarely get hate comments related to content #I’m not sure why exactly? I’ve always assumed it’s because my stories are weird enough to deter that kind of person #The hate comments I did get tended to be either personal or related to writing style/delivery

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

paradigm-adrift

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
