I made Emmet an old man so I can bully him as much as I like

"who do you self insert as when you read?"

This is me when I read:

[gorgynei]

in the age of repression and purity culture, getting more perverted is the only morally correct course of action

[gorgynei]

#(thousand-yard sex-disinterested aroace stare) cool opinion. love seeing this same sentiment 10000 times a day on this website

im also aroace. being disinterested in sex and romance is still sexual perversion in the eyes of the state. get more perverted in whichever direction fills you with the most joy!!!!!!

Ingo attending some festival or celebration at the main pearl clan settlement in the icelands. It's more a thing for younger people but he's curious about their customs and goes anyway. Some of it involves people dancing and he starts to look really deep in thought, so Irida asks what he's doing. Ingo says he thinks there was something similar where he came from, but it's kinda fuzzy, especially since it was a two-person thing and he can't really reenact it himself. Irida doesn't want him to miss the opportunity of a memory, they come so rarely, so she asks him to dance with her and show her.

Ingo has Irida stand in front of him, and then pauses while he tries to remember. Finally he awkwardly directs her to put her hands on his shoulders and settles his own on her waist (Ingo starts to blush like a maiden at this point because he'd forgotten how close you're supposed to be for this- Irida gives zero shits lol). Ingo tries to take a few steps and Irida tries to follow his lead, but it's hesitant and awkward and Irida starts to get miffed after the third time Ingo accidentally steps on her foot.

Ingo finally just huffs and gets over his embarrassment, lifts Irida up and sets her standing on the tops of his own shoes so he can do the steps himself without having to try and direct her. Less distraction means the memory comes a little easier, and he starts to finally move less hesitantly and awkwardly. Irida had been looking at their joined hands, and she looks back up at Ingo to say something about how his people have odd ideas about dancing, but when she sees him she nearly bites her tongue off in an effort to stop herself. Because Ingo has his eyes closed, looking content for once, he's even humming some strange tune to himself, and she can tell he's not really present right now. He's here physically, but his heart is obviously elsewhere, and Irida would rather take a tumble down the cliffs than interrupt it. So she just kinda lays her head on Ingo's shoulder, listens to his humming through his chest, and lets Ingo whirl her around for a while longer.

Eventually Ingo kinda comes out of it and loudly apologizes before setting Irida down back on her own two feet again. Irida tells him it's unlike any dance she's seen in Hisui before, it almost just feels like walking at some parts? And Ingo gets all thoughtful again, mumbling to himself, "Walking...walk...? Wal...t. Walt. Waltz. Waltz!" and makes his frown that means he's proud of himself. Irida asks what else he remembers, since he seemed so into it. Ingo cocks his head at her. He doesn't get what she means. Irida cocks her head right back. Does he not realize he was spacing out the whole time???

And somewhere, somewhen, miles and centuries away, Emmet dances in circles around his living room, long black coat clutched against his front, humming his and Ingo's wedding song.

the Relationship Ambiguity Zone™️ is a beautiful place to be. safe place to put your characters. put all characters into Relationship Ambiguity Zone. is that guy your mentor or your dad? Ambiguous!!! are you friends or enemies? Ambiguous!!! is it romantic? is it platonic? is it sexual? Ambiguous!!!!!!! never categorize anything ever in the Relationship Ambiguity Zone. just make them fucking weird about each other.

*listening to vocaloid songs* hmm how could i make this about blankshipping.

[stinastar]

I feel like this belongs here

So, now that Emmet's is out, didn't those Lodge stories put ideas in your head? The fact that, even though these are supposed to be plausibly-deniably romantic outings, both twins could be asked "Is it okay that you're doing this with me instead of your brother?"

Makes me think about like... an open relationship, that's kind of an open secret. Everyone knows something weird is happening between those two, so to be asked out on a date or for a hookup with one produces that kind of reaction. Just, a nervous "Is your brother okay with this?"

Emmet thinks it's kinda funny that everyone needs to check in like that, but Ingo is HUMILATIED that so many people seem to notice.

The idea that the general public of Nimbasa is kind of just... aware, but not making it into a problem because they don't wanna deal with the subway potentially shutting down or something. New Yorker Behavior.

btw. i keep getting told my begging is rlly hot, so. this is the basic formula i learned as a teenager:

1. request--the thing you're begging for. let me cum, don't spank me, get me pregnant, etc. be descriptive--usually, the more explicit, the better. make it sound appealing to your partner. refer to them by title (if applicable) in this step or the third step. not both.

2. promise--why they should do it. this can include descriptions of how whatever you're asking for will feel for them, how you'll react, or a promise for good behavior or quid pro quos. (in noncon scenes, this is also where you'd put a promise not to tell anyone/get the aggressor in trouble). this should be your longest section, and you CAN give more than one reason.

3. request--rephrase what you asked for in step 1. if step 1 was short, make this longer. if step 1 was long, make it shorter. this is the step where eye contact is most important.

in general, use a deferential, beseeching tone--you can choose how composed to keep it, but keep an undercurrent of "i'll die if you say no." (alternatively, you can lean into the humiliation of verbalizing your desires and speak soft and stuttery. but be warned, you'll run the risk of your dom making you repeat yourself louder.)

wait

wait fuck

THIS IS JUST BASIC ESSAY FORMAT FUCK

Subscribestar quietly updated their TOS yesterday to ban a load of previously allowed content at the behest of payment processors. There are no safe platforms. This will keep happening and we have to fight back.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art, Substar, itch, Patreon, etc)

This is your chance to tell them directly that you don't want to be told how to spend your money:

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

✨ Guidance on submitting an effective comment per the Free Speeh Coalition via ECR News:

"YES it's a good idea to comment on this as ero creatives. the FSC is also submitting a comment. Summarized advice from the FSC (from their lobbyists) was that you should tell your story/explain why the issue is important to you, and – most importantly – clearly say what you want the Fed to do about it. In this case, eliminating "reputation risk" from the Board's supervisory programs."

Before anyone suspects this is only going to benefit republican institutions, remember that last year the OCC specifically named adult industries as a sector facing unfair debankment.

Please leave a comment as so many others have done already! Artists need you and you're going to need you too because they never stop with what you personally find distasteful. They are insatiable and you will watch your livelihoods, what you love, disappear too.

Adult Readers Survey

Estimated survey time: 5–10 minutes Thanks for taking the time to fill this out. Your answers are anonymous and will be used to help indepen

🫵 DO YOU READ EROTICA? 🫵

sexy werewolf ebooks?

explicit fanfiction?

18+ speculative fuck-horror about tentacle mind invasion?

any other kind of prose designed to get you horny?

I want to hear from you!

Inspired by the fascinating insights from @leog4u's Adult Gaming Survey and the ongoing community discussions opened up by the Adult Analysis Anthology, I want to survey readers like you to better understand what people read, how they find it, and what they're actually looking for from indie erotica writers.

The survey takes around 10 minutes, is fully anonymous, and focuses on basic questions like 'where do you search for new work' and 'how important to you are detailed content tags'. There are open response questions at the end where you're welcome to add nuance or anything you feel the survey missed.

As we all know, times are very tough for adult creators. This survey will run for a month (March 7th - April 7th), after which the results will be shared with the community to help erotic prose writers of all kinds gain insight into what readers are looking for and how we can better help you find it. It's a win-win for all of us!

🗳️ Take the survey now! 📋

...and please do share the link far and wide, to help us reach as many readers of different kinds as we possibly can!

[taylor-titmouse]

i helped troubleshoot the questions on this survey! we wanna hear from you!! if you're in any spaces that frequently read erotica, please share it with them too :>

to all my fic writers: be that one rarepair writer. even if literally no one else is there. be the single glowing lightbulb in the void. write the rarepair so good some poor reader stumbles on it at 3am, loses their mind, and then realizes… oh. there’s only one fic. yours. congrats you’re both the blessing and the curse.

while I don’t agree with that referring to men in their 30s-early 40s as “old man yaoi”, I UNDERSTAND why many people who primarily consume honest-to-goodness BL manga are quicker to call it that, because there is just such poor representation for men that aren’t hairless dehydrated 20-something twunks. They’re wrong, but I get why it happens.

I also understand that “middle-aged yaoi” isn’t as fun to say as “old man yaoi”, even when it’s more technically accurate.

So I would like to propose new vocabulary: Grown Ass Yaoi. yaoi that’s grown ass men. they’re not old but they’re not young adults either. you get me? Grown Ass Yaoi

my fav relationship ship dynamic is where it doesn't matter if you call it platonic or romantic or queerplatonic because they always act the same in every type of relationship. and the way they act? fucking weird.
