my favorite thing in Romance Discourse is the thing where people are like "I've had Enough of Smut, it feels like all Smutty Scenes are just Filler, and I Want Real Emotion, Why Are There So Many Pointless Smut Scenes"

and I'm like "I really don't feel like I read a lot of pointless sex scenes, am I just weird"

and then these people list the books they read and it's all like "Breeding the Housemaid", "Fill 'Er Up", "Manny's Bi Awakening"

#romance novel blogging #and to be clear lol first off i made those titles up and second it is FINE if you like them #i've def read some and enjoyed them #but like idk if all you read is 120-page KU novels that are MEANT to be 80% sex #it's truly unfair to act like the genre as a whole is this cesspool of unnecessary sex scenes #and to be clear i actually think the POINT of those books is sex so like... the sex isn't unnecessary there either?#idk it smacks of puritanical bullshit to me #if i was to compile an average out of the hundreds of romance novels i've read across many subgenres #and of many page lengths #i would hazard a guess that they max out at 3-4 sex scenes #which in a book that's usually 300-400 pages #is not a fuckton of page time #and if anything trad publishing is going away from more sex on the page #unfortunately...........#ofc in response indie is giving people what they want (more sex) and becoming hotter and hotter #HOWEVER.#if all you read is super short indie freebies that are meant to titillate.........#yeah it'll be more sex heavy #additionally i think some of this comes from the fact that some readers are basically just reading KU contemporaries and freebies #which i get! books cost money!#it adds up #but this does mean your pool is even more limited #idk idk it just bugs

Is it just be or has the Void Within comic been getting increasingly off model with their characters

there is no off-model art in this comic and there is no war in ba sing se

#I'm fine with lower art quality if it means we get comics in the first place esp. because this comic is like 3/4? times the length of others #but at the same time there's just a really strange use of space? like use more of the graphic novel pages and condense things down #so the artists have more time to make the art look good. same with the shading stop adding so many layers to it #neopets #the void within

we know Chris dick is thick, do we think Seb can fit the whole thing in his mouth? 🫣

Oh, I think yes.

He's had plenty of training for it.

Both by Chris himself, but also I agree with the fandom's loose canon that Seb has messed around with men before Chris. Maybe not real relationships because... Hollywood is homophobic. But, just hookups and shit. And those hookups, his people pleasing nature, along with his propensity for needing something in his mouth at all times... it amounts to Sebastian being very skilled.

Does he choke on it sometimes still when he's caught up, too excited or eager for it, and not going slow enough? Yeah. But, can he get it all down his throat? Also, yeah.

I'm not even sorry for that gif usage

#asks #chris evans #sebastian stan #evanstan #rpf #real person fanfiction #this would have been longer but i could easily see myself getting too carried away and turning this into way too many words #im trying to reel myself in to keeping tumblr ask answers to a reasonable length #and a twenty page essay on Sebastian's dick sucking skills is not reasonable lol #maybe the evolution of Seb's sucking skills will be a full fledged fic... maybe #fandomfluffandfuck

arthur morgan is so eldest daughter coded GOD

#aristotle.txt #i think dutch and arthur mirror the relationship between a mother and daughter in many aspects #dutchs victimization of himself and his continuous denial and the anger he experiences and emotional guilting #the MINUTE arthur gains autonomy enough to betray his wants is just so peak mother and oldest daughter #the way arthur is HELL BENT on saving dutch is so representative of that #john has a much easier time questioning dutch and it is wholly because john is younger. he is the younger child #he has arthurs protection and he BELIEVES in that. so fully. in the way he carries himself #arthur lingers in johns life and his choices. john has the autonomy and freedom of a second child #ON TOP OF THIS. i think dutch loves both john and arthur. i dont think that is untrue #dutch is pathetic and he experiences major decline in sanity #the impact of arthurs death.... the abysmal reality that it was by dutchs hand that he died... dutchs sin is pride #he is hysterical in his attempt to prove what i can only assume is his worth as a father figure #he is so deep in denial and truly has lost his mind. that many has so much wrong with him #but he is well written and nuanced and so often feels motherly in his platitudes and preaching #a prideful mother and a daughter hellbent on making sure she is never lonely ohhhh theyre so #aough this game. this game is cooking me.#also the lengths that arthur goes to keep all of his tenderness wrapped in the pages of his journal and safe from everyone.....oh we're #really in it now arthur morgan #a.rdr2

if theoretically i was to do some write ups/primers/explainers on hughestorical stuff is there anything in particular ppl would want... i dont think i could ever do like. a full general primer bc i have so much Knowledge Accumulated that i could not condense but if theres like specific nuggets ppl are interested in... like specific times or relationships or something... hit up my inbox...

#one thing about me is i actually love writing research papers.#i may or may not have an incomplete write up about ellen's athletic career that's already like 5x the length of her wikipedia page LOL #i have many loosely organized google docs just full of information

ok weird question: how many pages do you think this book would be?

#rice rambles #somehow being a librarian hasn't unlocked the 'guestimate number of pages' part of the skill tree #im bad at guesstimating length too so idk how many inches thick that'd be? 1.5 maybe?

#dayshift go figure #this doc is getting too big i need to start a FOURTH soon #for reference the first doc got near 200 pages and could barely load fully #before i transferred the most recent stuff to a new one and then just. kept doing that when the count got too high #dont ask me how many pages there are bc i dont know. just go look at the ao3 wordcount #last time i checked we were very solidly in Full Length Novel territory #that was a while ago

i dont know why the running joke of this chapter is kakashi fearing for his kidneys. where did that come from. WHY did that come from.

i should probably cut that in editing it's a little ridiculous.

except it makes me giggle every time so maybe i should leave it there.

#girl's mind fanfic #clena's writing progress #just have to write ONE more conversation and the whole chapter is done. but DAMN if editing wont be a bitch #still wondering if i should cut jiraiya's 3-page infodump #because while most people dont mind #some people keep commenting saying that my fic is too wordy and i keep adding unnecessary things #and like. they're 1% of reviews but i have the emotional fragility of a china teacup #i cry when i get those sorts of reviews and they ruin my day even tho i get twenty comments who love my rambling #but like. also. i shouldnt delete stuff from my fic just for the 1% of assholes who will say mean things about it #but also i dont want to cry when someone inevitably says something mean about it.#most if not all of said assholes are on fanfiction dot net so technically i could just stop cross posting #except there are people on that site who DO like my rambles so #ugh. why am i such an emotionally sensitive crybaby. my life would be so much better #if i didnt have such thin skin #i'm 90% certain that jiraiya's 3-page infodump is going to get LONGER with editing cause i'm gonna turn it from infodump into #an actual conversation. so who knows how many pages it'll be by the end. the chapter's already 6500 words #which is double my average chapter length #and i DO like the info he presents even if it maybe ISNT strictly required for progressing the story. probably only the last paragraph is #ugh. i wish people would just never say mean things ever. then i wouldn't have a problem with anything xD

For my English course this year I wrote an essay on the debate of fine art vs contemporary art and I haven't reread it since I sent it in I wanna see if I can find this shit cause I have no clue what I ended up stating as my opinion

#it was crazy how many people i mentioned it to immediately started shitting on contemporary art #like id explain what i meant by fine and contemporary art and the majority of people would instantly talk about how ridiculous #they thought contemporary art was and how it wasnt real art and shit #my english teacher told me i actually changed his mind about the subject and like ultimately all i did was fairly compare the two #i didnt favour either one i gave them both pretty much equal time i think lots of people just havent actually considered contemporary art #at any length before yk they just go well this is art cause its pretty and theyve painted a thing and i know what it is #and this is pretentious bullshit because i dont think its pretty and i cant tell what its supposed to be by looking at it #i went to a modern art museum recently with my family and there wasthis one exhibition that was an indoor garden thing #and they all kinda went whats the point of that its just plants it doesnt even make a picture and moved on pretty fast #but all the plants had little signs next to them explaining what they were and why they were significant and oh my god #it had a kind of motif of the hanging gardens of babylon but it was mostly about war specifically palestine and the effects the war has had #fuck man. i spent a solid hour in there that shit really fucked me up. i love art.#there was another room filled with traditional south american stuff i think it was?#there was this fascinating film and all these coolpaintings and models but there was also a tiny little boom you could read #and it was of mayan love charms and holy shit Tumblr wouldve loved those i think i have a picture of my favourite page #it was like 'i want to join myself to him. i want this man to be my other half'#mmmm. anyway #tag essay #i love love love talking about art i could sit and talk about art for literally hours #wet floor sign

#I’m just gonna use this blog as a diary because. y’know. I already do. anyway #I don’t know what’s gotten into me recently but I just feel like. like I’m supposed to be ‘further along’ in my life than I am now?#and like. I know it’s bullshit because. the milestones I was told I would hit as I grew older have definitely not been predictable #they tell you you’ll get a job and a car and a significant other and you’ll get married and buy a house and have kids and grow old and die #and it’s like. that’s all we’re given to measure our lives by; these big milestones.. people are supposed to feel accomplished when they hit #but those things are just titles to chapters like. nobody tells us that there’s all this other plot happening between those pages #and so yeah I mean. it feels like I’m not on the right chapter and I really want to skip ahead but like #the truth is. I’m not even to the climax yet. I’m still in the lore-dump stage of ny story #and that’s been so hard for me to accept recently. I’m yearning to be in the chapter where I fall in love and get married #but that’s just it like. that chapter comes earlier in other people’s stories than it seems to be in mine #although I’ve fallen in love many times. I’m not at the ‘get married’ chapter. because it’s not the right part of the story yet #and sometimes I wish I could just find the author of my story and tell them HEY GET ON WITH IT ALREADY because things seem to be moving so #so slowly. and yet they’re moving so fast I simultaneously feel like I’m running out of time #like. why do some people deserve to have co-stars in their stories from almost the very beginning who stick by those protagonists and grow #together? What did I do in my last story to deserve such a lonely one this time around?#Why am I so unlucky that I have good close friends that stick by me and all I know how to do is hold them at arms length because I don’t #think our relationships are quite as deep as I feel that I need out of a relationship?#why is my story about desparately trying to find a place where I feel comfortable enough to belong and share myself with others #and hey. why am I not at that part of my story either?#and maybe it’s that I don’t do enough. as a protagonist my toxic trait is that I’m pathologically suspicious of others #if someone shows interest in me I’m suspicious of why. what are they trying to get from me. because in the past people have taken from me #without giving much back. and if someone wants to date me I’m immediately suspicious of their intentions.#because I’ve realised that there’s much more to being in a relationship than ‘you’re hot let’s fuck’. and I know that’s not what I want #I want to be at the part of my story where I can share myself with someone without worrying that they’re going to take more than I can give.#I want to be at the part of my story where I can trust someone with myself when I’m fragile and they can trust me with themselves as well #I want to be at the part of my story where my life slots together well with someone else’s; so well it just feels normal and right.#I want to be at the part of my story where…I know I could live without this person because we can both take care of ourselves but.#it’s just preferable to spend time and solve problems and exist *together*#and you’ll have to forgive me for saying so but I’ll need physical affection from that person whoever they may be #I feel like certain things are falling into place. I like where I am. now I want to set down roots. and I can’t. I’m not at that page yet.

I can’t remember if I said it here but I started reading the Percy Jackson books exclusively for Nico di Angelo

I literally decided, running on hyperfixation juice, that reading 17 books for one little gay emo child was not only feasible but necessary to my mental health

And yknow what as I reach the 1/3 point in the lost hero I think I was right because I just looked up the length of the house of hades and it filled me with such powerful excitement that I almost forgot that isn’t even the book I’m most excited to read

#I haven’t read books like this since I was like 14 #I haven’t felt intimidated by page count or chapter length at all #I finished the last three books of the pjo series in three days and then couldn’t even wait a day to start the hoo series #truly I can’t thank rick riordan enough for giving that back to me #I’ve dnfed so many books recently I was losing hope that I would find even one good book #and now I’m burning through pages like it’s my job lmao
