Smut 101: A Tutorial For Beginners

Hi. I’m Pikapeppa (queenofkadara on AO3) and I’m a smut addict, with 68 counts of smut to my name in 2018.

I’ve been trying to bully convince the lovely @schoute​ into writing more smut, so I thought I’d write a little primer on, well, how to write smut for those who aren’t sure where to start.

Please note: this is based on my personal process for writing smut. Other writers do different things; for instance, some people only write smut while drunk, whereas I’m the total opposite. Everyone’s method is legit, and what I suggest may not work for everyone. Feel free to reblob with further suggestions if you have them!

All right, friends. Let’s get personal and awkward. [cracks knuckles]

Why do we write smut? What is the point?

One major reason: wish fulfillment. Maybe you were robbed of a sex scene in a favourite game (REYES VIDAL in ME: Andromeda??) and you just need to fill that gap. Thus, one reason that we write smut is to explore fantasies and set them free into the world. Keep this in mind when you’re thinking of the smut you want to write; let it fill some kind of fantasy that you have, whether for yourself (SELF-INSERT IS OK) or for your beloved characters. Sometimes the smut you write is just a big ol’ self-indulgent oneshot, and that’s totally okay.

Another huge, huge reason is that sex is a big part of many romantic relationships, and writing a sex scene allows for so many character- and relationship-development moments. People become more uninhibited and vulnerable during sex. Walls come down, opening the door for intimacy between your characters. They may say or do things they wouldn’t normally say if their clothes were on and the lights were up. To illustrate, in Fenris and Rynne Hawke’s relationship alone, I’ve used sex to dig into Fenris’s head during the angsty breakup moment, to help him work through deep-seated issues with body image and dissociation, to help him calm down after an argument and to help Rynne put her troubles behind her, and as a sheer and unapologetic expression of love. All of this is to say that the sex your characters have tells us a lot about them as individuals, and about them as a pairing.  

With these reasons in mind, let’s move on to the actual writing of the smut!

fuckign fuck this fucki n book

the duality of an (almost)man (I REALLY NEEDED TO DRAW SOMETHING TO SHOW WHAT I IMAGINE THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE IS when theyre fully grown)

also its 4 am holy f uck whoops

EDIT - TUMblr keeps deleting my image captions but the cpations are very important to me

1: Ari: is an eternal flame small ball of furious protection.  Dante: couldnt be more madly in love rn and maybe a little turned on 2: Ari iS PRACTICALLY PURRING HOLY FUCK BALLS

[melodramaticmelon]

headcanon that Dante gives those super jovial and tight hugs that completely envelop you (he is big and with a broad back I’m sure he would wrap you up) and sometimes lifts you off the ground bc hes taller and  sometimes he just tackles I love how uncensored he is (giant golden retriever)

whereas Ari’s hugs are the slow kind that you melt into like youre being consoled and warmed from the inside and he slowly brings your closer to him as the hug progresses and he lingers into the person and the other person nuzzles their face his hair bc he’s got very nice hair

idk where I’m going with this but i hope my point gets across

[melodramaticmelon]

the first night back was probably very difficult for both of them and it would have taken a long time until they both felt safe again 

its supposed to be evening time around sunset

u know that part in the book where it says they broke more than his ribs yea lmao fuck me. i wouldnt be surprised if he woke up screaming and shit with panic attacks and bad dreams and ari would have to hold him again,probs stayed a few nights

either mr or mrs q mustve gone in to put a blanket over ari or something and they saw this

[melodramaticmelon]

What about Ari wearing his favorite shirt, the Carlos Santana concert tee. Say at the beginning of the story and then later when he beefs up and it starts getting a bit more snug. Things to consider.

OK BUT CONSIDER THis i am 2 steps ahead of you bc someone doesnt stop spamming my askbox with b E E F C A K E

ive never seen a santana shirt [tbh ive never even heard of santana until the book] in my life tho but this design is from 1984 europe tour i think

bonus:

[edit ok ya ive never heard of santana i was never around much if any rock music whoops]

[melodramaticmelon]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pda///

the truck was such a bitch to draw too but easier than my lighting hw

All the Secrets of the Universe [Part 1]

[Part 2]

heres the reasn for my lack of activity [aside from school yknow]

tbh idek what to say after i read the book i immediately wanted to draw the final FINAL chapter of it almost 3 months ago so i did the drafts and ive been sitting on them since then because i was waiting for my school’s 24 hour comic challenge to finish it. I obv didnt, but i think i upload this now since i probs have time to touch it until the end of the year again. and so i dont forget about it. I was listening to the audiobook while drawing this and it hit me just as hard as the first time [almost cried in school. almost]

i also now know how to say quintana, chole, soledad and the other more offensive words in the book
