eroticism, sensuality & how cain embodies it

i've always called cain erotic but since the kiss has taken over every last braincell of mine, i've been wondering what exactly makes him so. from the moment i read i want to do with you what isn't customary to say out loud, the with immediately struck me. not do to you but with. which could either mean what he wants them to experience together, as equals, or having her helpless and at his mercy, or both.

the verbal aspect of sex is what almost everyone gets wrong in media, especially when it comes to men. dirty talk is cheap, vulgar, and disgusting but why does cain do it so well? because he reveals just enough to leave you wondering, grasping desperately at your own imagination. i should've been crucified long ago for my thoughts about you. so what are you thinking? sublimating admitting to animal basal impulses, considered dirty and impure with so much grace and sensuality. saving all his confessions for such a significant moment, as they always step around each other and walk in circles, never saying anything outright so when he does it's shocking, outrageously hot.

and the inch he does give is painted vividly. where the blood boils and languid sighs fill the air.

he doesn't impose himself onto her, doesn't overpower her, make her smaller. it's more of an enveloping, surrounding, surrendering. he hardly touched her in the church, but his words and presence eclipsed the outside world, making sin religious.

while he is more, or even completely, dominant in their relationship, his dominance isn't to assert his desire onto her, but to allow the revealing of hers. he doesn't push her around, doesn't order her but carefully spins a web around her, trapping her senses, trapping her in a web of her own desires, disregarding her inhibitions. everything about him is subtle and slow and seductive, and every final decision has rested on her shoulders. in the church, he has his fingers over her stomach, he looks up, he waits. in the bathroom, he has her trapped between his body and the cross, he says his piece, he waits. only when she touches him back does he kiss her.

the power gap between them, purely antagonistic of the usual immortal/mortal ship, is blurred and coexisting. cain was the one laying out his cards, his barest desires and wants but it was lane who felt caught between his jaws, like this was her surrender. he was pulling the strings even as he was being vulnerable.

over all this, intimacy and understanding is the most erotic thing of all, and it was captured beautifully in the kiss scene. cain knew what i liked because we were so similar. cain being able to read all her nonverbal cues, to know which is permission. cain laying on her lap, talking about acceptance and understanding and eternity.

it's so rare to see a male character who is actually erotic, not vulgar and as a 'bring back real sensuality in media' girl i'm fucking up this buffet. i can't wait to see how this evolves in his later scenes and thank you taemin for birthing him.

It's been observed that you can't just take a piece of clothing that's designed for a skinny person and scale it up to produce a piece of clothing that's designed for a fat person – the whole garment needs to be reconceived. Much the same is true of character assets in video games: you can't turn textures and animations for a skinny character into textures and animations for a fat character simply by fucking with some sliders. In games which permit customisation of the player character, supporting multiple distinct body types in a way that doesn't look like shit will typically require multiple distinct versions of most player-facing assets. This is one of the principal arguments against body type diversity in video games, and it's unfortunately correct as far as its premises go: unless you're a AAA studio, you probably don't have the resources to crank out multiple distinct versions of every player-facing asset, particularly if the breadth of customisation you're aiming for is otherwise large, so pragmatically you need to pick a fairly narrow subset of body types you're going to support and stick with it.

The nuance that's wilfully being overlooked, of course, is that if you're obliged by the limits of your resources to require all player characters to adhere to the same narrow subset of body types, there isn't actually anything stopping you from requiring all player characters to be fat.

Just had someone make a post claiming that anyone who writes a villain with redeeming qualities ‘might as well write an oc’ bitch why! Do! You! Care! Why do you care?? Go make your own OCs if seeing someone woobify a villain is so triggering ffs

So if in the final fantasy universe, Genesis invents pasteurization would it be named something that isn't pasteurization? Like in the real world pasteurization is named after Louis Pasteur the dude who invented it but in the ffvii universe there's things that indicated Genesis did so to produce better apple liquid products just food for thought

you guys, whenever we get the opportunity to choose the gender of an LI (like we had in Soulless), if you like both genders to either romance or befriend, how do you choose?

for example, for threxi@, I went for threxia cus I find her more charming and feisty-looking (if that's even a thing lol), but for walter/cynthia, i IMMEDIATELY went for walter cus the female version of that LI looks exactly like my best friend whom I love AS A SISTER so yeah... immediately no.

soulless season 2 episode 6 theory

ok i just finished my cynthia slot so far and i think i figured out who is at the door at the end of the episode

spoiler: i think it's threxia/o

ava/vincent/threxia/o romancers have seen threxia/o show up at the end but elliot/walter/cynthia romancers saw them, and they weren't acting like themselves (elliot and vyxaria just had a fight and walter/cynthia is too babygirl)

elliot and walter/cynthia are the only lis threxia/o has met and if you romance them they can tell there's something going on

tbh this scene made me suspect because threxia/o doesn't seem like they'd care if vyxaria was seeing another person cause they're a womanizer, but it makes sense if they were taking mental notes on how to manipulate her

i think threxia/o wants to get back in vyxaria's good graces, especially because of the trip and revenge mission, so they showed up as someone they know vyxaria is into to get her to let her guard down

on the ava/vincent/threxia/o path they have no idea that vyxaria is into ava/vincent or knows she's into them so shows up as themself to make amends or relieve tension before the trip

Love this detail

[fallen-wing-magic]

I like my love interests unhinged, devoted and covered in blood

[fallen-wing-magic]

So, rumour has it...the Doobay has a pretty unique way of attracting their love interests. They apparently give their target a headache on purpose, which makes the person unable to stop thinking about them. It's kind of a weird approach but it works pretty well. It's like they're willing to do almost anything to get the attention and affection of their desired partners.

OP is a 25 year old minor 😂

Confession:

"no offense to anyone whose enjoying the story, but 7 brothers makes me kinda uncomfortable with the mc being freshly turned 18 going to have kinky explicit sex."

Confession:

"Vincent isn't that bad, y'all are just mean."

I love how Lane is written because unlike other stoic characters where it could be very easy to cross the line between cold & unreachable (to the reader), Lane is very aware she's empty inside and that part of her humanity is missing, and that she can't do anything about it. A piece of who she used to be is just...gone and she's supposed to walk through everyday life knowing that nobody will ever be able to understand or feel her lack of pain. Someone save me

[fallen-wing-magic]

I think Lane x Cain is more fun if Lane is an atheist.

[fallen-wing-magic]

Cannot emphasize enough how compelling Lane is to me with her genuine coldness and pragmatism. When she was sincerely thinking about throwing Greg off the snowmobile but only stopped because the crew was there to witness it and she would face repercussions? She would have remorselessly gone ahead and done it had that been not the case. And then she genuinely flirted with Greg the very next moment because her willingness to save herself over Greg doesn't say much about how she feels about Greg, whether he is good or bad, whether she finds him annoying or interesting, it just means that she fucking wants to survive. She often has to fake emotions to fit it even when in all honesty, she doesn't feel a thing. How this is her being insecure about herself for being different than others instead of being a sociopath.

All of this and still the past Lane is a mystery. Because at the moment clearly a lot of fucked up things are going on with her so we can't accurately tell - ugghhhhh.

Love her so so much actually. Relatable. Iconic. Hot. Smart. Impeccable fashion sense. My love.
