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

so thanks to @catboyolli I am now a published author........

.

........because she made my Olli/Allu advent calendar stories into a physical book!?! 😭

complete with the gorgeous concept art by @kraeuterhexchen !!!!

...and all the other essential information you can find in a physical book, along with a bibliography of my other work 🥹

I don't have a picture of the covers but they're plain pink and I think we can all agree it's a very fitting stylistic choice 🥰

thank you my dearest Luna, I already told you this is among the most incredible gifts I have ever received and @exitemotions can confirm I burst into tears upon realising what I was holding in my hands, so yeah, I’m speechless thank you thank you thank you this is beyond my wildest dreams and you are amazing and I love you to death 💖💕💞💕💗💘💕💞💖💗💕

#i'm still very overwhelmed by this ngl #what do you mean those silly little stories i wrote a year ago are enough to make an actual full-length novel?!#and what do you MEAN it actually looks like a book and i can casually put it on my bookshelf next to my le petit prince collection and- 😭#it even has page numbers!!!!!!!#also. do you guys understand how many embarrassing typos and silly brain farts there are in there #bc i barely proof-read any of those stories gksjfgjfkjf 😂😭#sorry for the wobbly pictures i was in a bus lol

i started downloading fanfiction a few weeks ago, and i actually get to see how much i read? it looks like A LOT when you see it in pages. you're telling me that i read the equivalent of about 4 avarage length books every month? and i actually don't read that much?

#people who read more length-y ff more often can probably double the number #marauders #wolfstar #dead gay wizards #aziracrow #good omens #fanfiction #im not able to read that much in 'real' books nor i have time to and then i see that all the ff comes to that many pages lmao

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

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

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

i changed the rewrite margins and it's a lot better now! :D

#it's a lot shorter now too! ;)#it went from 484 to just 440 pages!#and chapter 31 starts on 472 in the original... and 427 in this one! ;D #my stories with double digit page counts are SWEATING at that!#luckily the gutters won't need to be as big for those so i'm sure the length won't shorten that much! ;)#a shorter length is much more important for a big boi like the rewrite!#edit: that might be too many words per line now! :o #'angel's mask' has the same line length and it has 11-13 words per line #the original rewrite has 16 and this one is 18! :o #so maybe i'll leave the original right side crop and leave the gutter #that'll make it the original length while having enough room for the binding! ;)#the world of books is more than i imagined!

people seem to have stopped posting sylki oneshots so now i have to move some of those up my stalled writing queue because i know i'd be getting driven mad by that if i was keeping up with ao3 at the moment.

#i blame myself obviously.#if even i gave in to the 'how many chapters will this thing you tagged as a oneshot be?' pressures then it must be pretty strong.#i know i also owe chapters of wips but that audience can just read other wips but the oneshot fans must be starving like my neopets.#this MIGHT work as motivation though it'd also mean the nobody who desperately wants Fair Alfrida Part 2 is going to have to wait more.#it also might not work and things will just happen in the order they were going to anyway but you never know.#fic related #but really go look at that first page nearly everything on it's a multichapter work and i find that both strange and kind of sad?#usually fandoms have a mix of fic lengths and i don't need to commit to reading a novel to scratch my itch for some ship or other.#i can't even remember what happened last chapter in my own WIPs how can i hope to do it for anyone elses? :'(#i feel like i know exactly why this has happened but nobody wants me to complain about that stuff again (though they should!!!!)
