Since my teens, when I started openly dating other women, I have fielded (mostly from men) the rude but “innocent” question of how two women have sex. The implication being that sex includes penetration by a penis, that this act is the culmination of all the lesser acts that precede it. Perhaps the biggest inherited narrative about sex that I’ve had to undo in myself is that default defining of all sex as related to hetero sex. Back then, no matter how I explained it, the askers of that question frowned. How sad, their faces seem to say, that you’ve never ever gotten past third base. How sad, I’d now like to reply, that you’ve been trapped on a baseball diamond for all of your sexual life.
Show us what your sex is, what your characters’ sex is. Maybe you, too, have been defining it in relationship to heterosexual models that have nothing to do with your own desire, or that of your characters. This might be hardest for straight people, who have the greatest number of inherited stories to wade through. Discover it in the writing; I often have. The beauty is that we don’t have to agree on this. When I was a dominatrix, I once rubbed balloons all over a man for seventy-five dollars. He would’ve called it sex. I called it work. It was mutually consensual, and I think we were both correct in our assessment.
If your sex is balloons, if it is blowing raspberries on your lover’s belly, if it happens fully clothed or in furry costumes, if it happens in a group or alone—give it the same gravity, the same reverence or irreverence as all of the tiresome dick-chafing scenes we all grew up reading. In the world of your writing, no sex is a punch line unless you make it one. There is no marginal erotic unless you sideline it.

My toxic trait is having 3 concepts ready and greenlighted for the scp wiki (and it takes some effort to get shit approved on that site) for more than a year and not having 1 single draft ready for review
I blame my perfectionism and university tbh, but it breaks my heart to see my little babies rot while waiting for me to flesh them out ):

You will not use AI to get ideas for your story. You will lie on the floor and have wretched visions like god intended

like 99% of "men and women are soooo different!!!" comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it's not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain
#belonging to a group with the same traits you hold certainly makes people secure in their decision making#but the validation often comes from excluding behaviour the group supposedly does not engage in#creating a character by exclusion of traits#but yeah lol self reflection would make the castle crumble

Guys, is it non-binary rizz when some bitch appears out of nowhere and starts talking about the sky and the mystery of human communication and empathy? Asking for a friend

My mind
Sees farther than the eye can reach
My mind
Breathes faster than the lungs can feel
My mind
Loves harder than the heart can beat
For my mind
Is my world
One only I can see
But my only wish
Is for you to see it too
Join me, and we will feast
For our kingdoms will embrace
And our words will finally hold meaning
Little thing I wrote inspired by Wittgenstein and Subahibi (While crying ofc), hope you guys like it :3

Hi everyone, new to tumblr, always had the right amount of neurodivergency for tumblr but my mind was too occupied with other silly stuff.
Don't know the site that well (I gotta thank Strange Aeons for what I know), but I hope to have fun here! Will probably rant about linguistics, anthropology and philosophy, talk about books, vns and music, or just repost memes I like. I'm also an aspiring writer, so I might post some short stories of mine here :3
Let's all stay silly!
