#Spicy Delight

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

AITA for lying to my dog about food being 'spicy?'

A while back I taught my dog what spicy foods are (by letting her sniff them and saying "Uh oh! Spicy!") and she figured out that it means it'll smell/taste bad and she immediately loses interest. It was initially an accident but it became really handy in getting her to leave food alone if it might hurt her.

Recently though I've started saying "Uh oh! Spicy!" about any food I don't want her to eat. If she's sitting and staring at me eating a regular non-spicy snack and I don't want to share, I'll tell her it's spicy so she'll stop begging for it. She believes me 100% of the time. She does have a 'leave it' command that she obeys as well, but she always acts so sad whenever I tell her to 'leave it' and it's something she wants.

I feel a little bad because she's an older dog (10y/o) and maybe I SHOULD be sharing my snacks with her, but sometimes a man's gotta enjoy his food in peace without a little creature gazing longingly at him the entire time and crying like the world's soggiest beast.

Included is a picture of her making her very best begging face so that everyone can accurately judge how evil I am for lying to her.

What are these acronyms?

I want to treat a boy like he's a stray kitten I found abandoned on the street. I want to wash his hair and feed him soft foods from my fingers so he associates human touch with food and begins to seek me out for pets and treats

Fire (1996): A Mostly Spoiler Free Pitch Because You Should Watch It Immediately

It's time for "An Indian QL bulldozed past my expectations and I am reeling in awe", Part Two!

A few days ago, @neuroticbookworm told me about Fire, an old lesbian Indian movie she'd been wanting to watch. Me being me, I promptly tracked it down and settled in to watch it.

Very loosely based on the 1942 short story Lihaaf, the movie follows Sita, a newly wed bride who is settling in with her in-laws, which is how she meets Radha, who is married to her husband's brother. Both in unhappy marriages, they find solace and company with each other, quickly falling in love. Length: 1 Hour 40 Minutes TWs: Homophobia, C-word mentioned once, some depictions of domestic violence Release: 1996

The is almost entirely in English, and while one generally expects Bollywood movies to be in Hinglish, it's definitely a conscious choice here, which does make me wonder if the movie was supposed to be promoted to a greater international audience. You can find it here on Youtube, most of the (very few) Hindi dialogues have hard subtitles. I think it's also available on Prime? It wasn't available in India though, which is odd, but I didn't bother investigating. Let me know if anyone can figure anything out about this!

Going into this movie, I expected a melodramatic, emotional movie with a bittersweet tone. I did not expect a biting, incredibly engaging movie with excellent satire, symbolism, discussions of chastity culture, and an incredibly sweet, beautifully written romance. And I was certainly not prepared for how incredibly horny this movie is??? Both in subtle tension and overt sex scenes. There's also partial nudity, which again, completely unexpected. If you're going taboo, go taboo all the way I suppose. It's also very well directed, and while I'm not nearly as good at identifying details like that as some of the people on here, I did pick up on some colour coding and interesting framing. It's just overall packed with little details that I think a lot of us would have a field day analysing.

Honestly, I could talk about the cultural nuances in this movie for hours. Contrary to my assumption about the reasoning behind making the movie fully in English, the movie seems to rely on the viewer's understanding of North Indian customs to deliver a lot of it's messages, particularly with its satire, more on that below. While I don't think it's necessary to enjoy the movie, it definitely does add some meat to the story. Then again, I'm a biased party, so it'll be hard to determine just how many messages may be lost to someone from outside of India without someone to compare notes with (this is me shamelessly trying to get you to watch the movie). Honestly, I'd be 100% down to write a more detailed, spoiler-including post that goes into the implicit nuances if people are interested.

There's two main selling points for the movie; the incredible way it shuts down purity and chastity ideology and the absolutely adorable relationship between Radha and Sita. The movie is set on ruthlessly tearing down and emphasizing the ridiculousness of purity culture. A lot of the messaging is indirect and uses metaphors, but there's also several explicit scenes addressing the issue. It's one of the main themes of the movie and I'm almost convinced the real reason it's titled 'Fire' is the sheer number of burns it dishes out on this subject. The romance portion of this movie is one of the thing's that completely defied my expectations. It wasn't sad and dramatic, it was heartfelt and silly and adorable. There's several scenes of the two subtly flirting, laughing together and just being lowkey in love. But that's not to say there's no emotional depth—they're also there for each other and are quite vulnerable with each other.

The movie used a lot of metaphors, but my favourites were the almost satirical representation of mythological stories. In a religion as diverse as Hinduism, every holiday has two dozen stories behind it and each story has two dozen versions, so it's to be expected that you'll find a number of problematic or otherwise kind of ridiculous stories in the mix. The stories were told completely seriously, but the context of the movie highlights their absurd facets in a truly brilliant way. I'm not going to give too much away, but I will say, it was a delight to watch the juxtaposition of the myths and the storyline of the movie, particularly it's ties to the purity culture discussion. You'll understand when you watch it. I'm not turning this into a Hindu mythology lesson (yet) but one interesting tidbit is that Radha and Sita are both names of mythological figures; namely the partners of two of the most worshipped avatars of the god Vishnu: Krishna and Rama respectively. And I was overjoyed to find that their names do have relevance to the metaphors in the story, particularly Sita's.

When the movie was first released, there were massive protests against it, I'm talking hundreds of people storming into theatres to destroy them and drive away audiences. I don't know what to say here beyond this, but what I will say is that I think Fire is an amazing movie that absolutely does not deserve to be lost to the sands of time. I hope you give it a shot, and if you do, tag me in any posts you make about it!

Tagging people who seemed interested in recs from my last post, let me know if you'd rather I not tag you!

Distracting- Kento Nanami x Reader

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Rating and Warnings: SMUT(18+, Minors DNI), C*ckwarming, "good girl" as praise/pet name

A/N: First Nanami brainrot post of 2023 (one of many to come, I'm sure)! Here is a very short (like ~2500 words, shortest thing I've written haha) little drabble for our beloved salaryman-turned-sorcerer Nanami. What paperwork is he looking at? Feel free to use your imagination. Either way, he could certainly use some help with it. Or rather, some help distracting him from it ;)

"Hmm," Kento hums, breath fanning against the shell of your ear as he leans in close, "You're squirming, love."

You can't help it, shifting restlessly on Nanami's lap, his hardened cock buried deep inside you, pressing relentlessly on your sweet spot. Heat blooms across your cheeks, rippling through your body, making you wondrously lightheaded. The feeling of being pressed against him, enveloping him, and being enveloped by him, is utterly divine. It's overwhelming in an agonizingly delicious sort of way. But still, you can't help fidgeting with the insistent pressure of Kento's dick sheathed within you.

"Be a good girl and sit still," he purrs, his hand gripping your thigh, fingers kneading their way up to the supple flesh of your ass, "Let me finish my work and then, I promise, I'll reward you."

With this gentle admonishment, you try your best to stop wriggling, attempting desperately to focus on Kento's other hand (the one flipping through documents) and not the one planted firmly on your backside. You find it rather difficult, though, when he reaches around to tickle the insides of your thighs, ghosting his fingers along your heat.

You involuntarily rock against his hips, causing him to grip the edge of his desk so tight, his knuckles almost turn white. The sound of a husky grunt reverberating through Kento's chest is pure music to your ears.

"You're a cheeky thing, aren't you?" he chuckles, drawing a breathy sigh from your lips when he snakes his free hand up towards your bare breast and gives it a gentle squeeze. The pad of his thumb circles the pert bud of your nipple and it takes everything in your power not to roll your hips.

"You're cruel, Kento," you whine, pouting at him in an inane attempt to get him to do something. Anything, for goodness sake. But he's always so focused on the task at hand, it's almost impossible to distract him. You know he won't break.

Maybe you should just give in to your desire. You can't take this much longer, so you lean back, resting against Kento's chest, one hand reaching down to your heat. You start to rub slow circles around your clit, anything to relieve some of the tension. You're so slick already, so close.

You're ready for Kento to scold you once again, to tell you you'll have to wait longer since you're not following his directions. He ceases his massaging and grasps your wrist, stopping you from trying to relieve yourself. Kento smirks, that tiny, subtle smirk that brings you to your knees, and his next words surprise you.

"I suppose I could take a break," he muses aloud, more to himself than to you. His cheeks are flushed pink, his body hot, and eyes dark with arousal. Unbreakable Nanami, resolve crumbling at your tiny mewls and attempts to pleasure yourself. He lays his lips against your neck, littering kisses up and down it, along your shoulders, and under your ear. However, before you can start grinding against him, he grips your hips firmly.

"But when we're done, we'll have to pick up right where we left off," Kento whispers, turning your face towards his with a finger underneath your chin. You gaze into his deep brown eyes, a mischief glimmering in them that only you get to be privy to. You raise an eyebrow at the man, giving him an impish beam.

"If that's your attempt at a threat, it's doing quite the opposite, my darling," you return. Kento swallows your twittering laughter when he crashes his lips to yours, smiling against you between sloppy, hungry kisses.

So I finally found the time to read Chapter 5 + the Hades event of What in Hell is Bad? and AAHHH LEVIATHAN?!! God, his character is so interesting and I can’t wait to see more of him.

Idk I just find his personality and cold attitude towards MC quite refreshing. Not to mention that he has such a lovely voice and beautiful appearance…….aaahhh he’s so intriguing <3

AND LEVIATHAN’S H SCENE?? Let’s just say that my inner sadist was very happy with how it turned out. Honestly, we need more characters who are masochist + power bottom ψ(｀∇´)ψ
