Hi PR, I wanted to say thank you for your fics, your writing is such a good part of life. I recently read The Secretary after seeing it recommended for Best Smut by someone in the @hprecfest. I have already flailed in the comments over there but wanted to come here too, to say it's been like two weeks and I am STILL thinking about it.

The smut is absolutely definitely god-tier, but I think what has really gotten me is the character development and the emotions of their relationship. The way it's so good for both of them. How Pansy is so much happier with the structure and discipline, quitting the day-drinking and smoking, and feeling treasured and cared for--"There isn't a more careful man in the world, and I wanted to be the subject of that care" now lives rent-free in my head--and Percy gets all his rigid little boxes blown open and to be seen, accepted, and desired for all of who he is, even the parts he wants to reject and it's just AAAAHHHHHH!!!

Imagining how he is feeling and what he is thinking during Pansy's big bridesmaid-dress speech and the subsequent 72 hours of nonstop working to free her, omg it's just peak romance.

I wondered two things--if you have ever considered writing a Percy POV, whether a full fic or just a one shot, I would EAT IT UP.

And also if you can recommend any other fics with a similar dynamic? I'm absolutely in love with this Percy, so if it's Percy, whether with Pansy or someone else, great, but really any pairing that has this particular dynamic I would be so grateful. <3 Thank you!

AAAAAHHHHHH, to you, too! I know @heyjude19-writing recced The Secretary recently (thank you so much, my friend!) and even before that there was a noticeable influx of comments, so thank you to whoever else posted about it somewhere out there in the wild. It's the best, best feeling as a rarepair writer when something manages to find new readers. And I love this ask, because yeah, the fic is about sex, but it's MUCH more about how kinks are incredibly personal and idiosyncratic, how isolating and shameful they can feel, how genuinely off-putting they can be to a partner who doesn't share them, and how liberating it is not just to be accepted but to be wanted and affirmed. Pansy comes into their situation with NO fear of the kink and power play dynamics, and proceeds to gloriously "Yes, and . . ." Percy's really very idiosyncratic and aesthetic desires, which is how he ends up feeling safe enough to fully explore them.

Percy is possibly my favorite POV to write (I've done it twice in shorter fics), so I won't say I won't ever do it again, but I am trying to wean myself from fic writing. I also haven't written explicit smut in a very, very long time, so it would probably be sort of sketching the erotic in the margins, which I personally really love.

As to the power play dynamics, I'm honestly not sure of any other fic (or fiction, honestly) with quite the same thing going on. I've mostly come across domination/submission fiction that focuses on either a sexually reserved/inexperienced or a highly driven female character being taught how to be submissive by a confident male dominant, which is not their dynamic in The Secretary, like. At all. If anyone knows of another work that handles these themes in a similar way, please speak out in the comments! Thank you for reading and for the ask!

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

#us politics #donald trump #election 2024 #aclu #a promise to myself #how is this comforting you May ask #bc we are not fighting alone or uninformed #we have good and strong groups in our corners defending what we believe in #it’s not over yet #we have to try and pushback #added Alt image descriptions since this is leaving containment #happy to see many engaging with this to either donate time or money or both #really warms the cold heart of mine #wow this broke containment #overall it’s been pretty nice seeing people engaging with it ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work #they did the travel ban right at the beginning of the previous presidency too #also every major civil battle in the last century #brown V board of education- the one that desegregated schools #loving V Virginia- legalized interracial marriage #roe V wade- legalized abortion #United States V Nixon- watergate scandal WHICH LIMITED US PRESIDENTAL POWER #Edwards v. Aguillard- helped allow schools to teach evolution #Planned Parenthood v. Casey- another abortion case #ACLU v. NSA- to stop the NSA spying on wikipedia users #Ingersoll v. Arlene's Flowers- fought to stop LGBTQ discrimination from businesses #Obergefell v. Hodges- case that legalized gay marriage #literally WAY MORE GUYS #so don’t fall into dispair! these are literally one of the good ones!

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #it’s so AOUGH!!!#especially mithrun and falin and thistle #but everyone has some element of this #it’s also so important that the characters in majority DONT get what they want #marcille never gets to even out the lifespan between races #falin is never returned to her pre chimera state #mithrun never got to truly be the version of himself he want to be #like idk i could go on #but there’s smthn to the fact that not all the problems are fixed #and actually most of the time it’s better they aren’t #IDKKKK IRS JUST SO AOUGH

this manatee looks like it’s in a skyrim loading screen

#lol good luck finding all of the photoshopped versions in the rb history. ‘manatee restored’ is still my favorite of all time #misc #I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to.#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped #it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially #the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm #which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water #as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun #it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here #I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances #also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential #so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export #but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.
