so i don't personally consider myself to have a feeder kink, i just really like plus size girls. its always been my preference. but being in texas, people can often be judgy about it. have you ever dated a guy who didn't have a fetish and just found you attractive?
nope, being a feedee is very much part of my identity and i don’t rlly see myself in a relationship with someone without. at least not without seeing/knowing them for a *long* time—sexual/romantic attraction and feedism are very mixed for me, and it’s very rare for me to even be interested in someone without a feedist aspect to it.
not to say i wouldn’t be open to it, but it seems like a lot of effort. in the end i probably wouldn’t be satisfied or fully understood, which is essential to me with a partner
Every other post about Astarion: he mentions he has a complex relationship with sexual intimacy once so you can’t ever think about his character sexually cause he’s a traumatized UwU bean. Totally disregarding that he was horrible tortured for 200 years because being a sex worker is so much more traumatizing. You can only treat him like a sweet innocent sexless being or your objectifying him and sexually harassing him. (Basically the Madonna Whore Dichotomy)
Me, a sex worker, just trying to find one fic where he isn’t written like a 16 year old girl:
writing a character who's smarter than you isn't fun. but you can look shit up and revise until it sounds smart enough. but how'm I supposed to write someone funnier than me? can't look up a sense of humor. what'm I supposed to do, rely on dad jokes I find online? knock-knock, a bitch still ain't funny
The real reason Knives wears his cloak thing in tristamp is because if he didn’t he’d be lobster red within minutes. That man doesn’t have any melanin in his skin whatsoever.
I don’t know how to explain it but this has literally the EXACT same energy as a 7 year old girl making her gay barbies confesses their love and then making them make out
yes those are arranged the same way! underglaze is so interesting, the way it changes colour after it's clear glazed. it’s always best to try a new underglaze on a tile before spending time and effort on a piece that might fail lol
I am a person with a large vocabulary (in English)
I tend to use larger and more pretentious words because I like the way they sound and it's my humor. Words like rebuttal, amiable, quite, sustainable, appease able in my regular day to day conversations.
However with all this in mind, if I know another person has English as a second language AND are still learning, I would not hesitate to use a much more common vocabulary. If they are really new I would slow my speech, enunciate the important words and use basic sentence structure. To me this is common courtesy. I wouldn't assume by an accent or anything but, most of the time this works well.
Now, what I cannot for the life of me understand is how it is more acceptable for me to do this to a Child than a new English speaker.
I have had people ask me to not use bigger words around kids because they don't understand but those same people will mock those who are struggling with English. I do not get it. Kids need to soak in words. I got a large vocabulary by soaking it in from the adults around me.
Bottom line: kids need to be exposed to a large vocabulary. Adult foreign language learners are already trying as hard as they can, cut them some slack
a crucial part of “cringe culture is dead” is giving up the part of you that gives a shit what someone you don’t know might think of you. you gotta be willing to put out the cringe and stand by it or else what are you doing? you’re gonna back down just bc someone correctly identifies it as cringe? do you want to see change in the world or not
