#fiery ginger

[backtobackagainsposts]

Okay so there’s a new guy in my life. It’s an… interesting conundrum. I really like his personality, though he can absolutely be abrasive and argumentative at times. I like the way his body fits to mine (we have not had sex yet!) He’s like the perfect cuddle partner 🥰 However, I don’t necessarily find myself attracted to him, either. Not even necessarily from his looks, though admittedly that’s part of it, but he does a lot of things that remind me of my dad.

(Insert bit about my dad beating the shit out of me in my teens here.)

Now, I think I’m lucky and don’t really have a lot of deep set daddy issues, honestly. I don’t have a DD/lg kink, I don’t find a caretaker necessary. If anything, I’ve gone the other way and become hyper independent, though I don’t think that’s the case either when I hate going places alone 😂

Anyway, I’m getting off track here.

He’s 5 years younger than me, 5” taller, and a 5.5” cock, so that’s all fun. His hands are bigger too, and he can actually pick my fat ass up 😩

We’ve discussed it and I’m not ready for a relationship, especially with someone that brings out a very mild trauma response 😅 We both know this is going to probably end in flames, but you know what? I’m gonna do it anyway 😏

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. His tag will be #fiery ginger, as there may be another ginger soon too. But that guy has been a pain in my ass for over a decade 😂

apparently 'there are other fish in the sea' was not the right answer

@maruyaaya come get ur man pls. he wont stop telling me about his grey eyed potato (?) and looking dramatically off into the distance

U mention in 1 of ur tags that Poseidon has vitiligo? Could u tell us more about that pls?

Okay so, I saw this ask and went "oh man this is a wonderful opportunity to ramble about some of my design decisions for the Olympians" then I also, simultaneously went "This is also a perfect opportunity to doodle Poseidon" so I spent like, way too much time doing a dinky little doodle to show both what Poseidon's vitiligo looks like + what I generally envision his design to be like when he's on Olympus!

Of course, in true Ginger fashion, it's very messy but I think it gets the point across well enough! The big reason Poseidon has vitiligo (or why I've interpreted his skin as being speckled) is because well, as a horse/hippocampus (which is his actual preferred form) he has a piebald/pinto coat and the only way really to translate that onto a human-presenting form is some form of pigmentation disorder like vitiligo or leukoderma.

Poseidon, like almost every other Olympian (save for Apollo who has the most human-like appearance of them all) has multiple animal/mythical creature elements incorporated into his design/interpretation, many of these I've chosen to allude to what their 'truest' forms are like, for example Zeus' big bull horns because he was born a horned god or Aphrodite's feathered hair and talons because she is directly descended from Ouranos. Because gods are always changing and evolving as the world changes and evolves, these features of theirs can change to better match their current 'truest' self, but most deities, especially the older ones, tend to settle after a period of time and don't experience much drastic change. For my purposes, Poseidon was born with horse like features which he inherited from his mother including his striking piebald coat and his horse's ears, but he later acquired sea serpent traits such as his tail, sharp teeth and water-like hair after acquiring the domain of the Ocean and being forced to adapt very rapidly to his new environment.

Due to geneology and generational inheritance being such a major theme in my work, I chose to let that stand for the descendents of the gods as well! Humans naturally aren't born with coats and such, but many of Poseidon's children do end up having some form of leucism from minor things like Ancaeus' double coloured hair or Bellerophon's 'peeled' hands and feet (they were a lighter colour than the rest of his body) to much more intense expressions of the trait like Theseus' albinism or Triton's very unique speckling. It's rare for his human children to get an extreme expression of this trait due to humans just kind of having less melanin to work with compared to nymphs, spirits or animals, but it does happen from time to time.

I love Uncle Rick. He's a great dude (I think lol). But I will NEVER forgive him for how he wrote Achilles in The Last Olympian. If you know, you know.

Update on the fiery ginger:

Good god we are so sexually compatible it’s not even funny. The only thing that could make it better is an extra inch on his cock so we could do more positions easier but he really doesn’t need it 🤤

This boy will choke me (the correct way), whisper my name, make eye contact, and honestly our bodies just fit together so well. He has a lot of stamina. He can actually keep up with me and that’s unheard of anymore.

We had sex seven times the first weekend he came over. The first time he never even pulled out… he just stayed hard 😭🤤 This weekend I was kind of sick, but he still wanted to come over. We still had sex like 4-5 times I don’t even know 😂😭

Not only the sex stuff, but I actually enjoy his presence?? Like, his humor is fucking stupid but it’s kind of cute to be honest 😂 And he’s witty in the same ways that I am. We have enough similar interests that the hobbies we don’t share don’t pose an issue. It’s really balanced.

Still, something in my intuition says this won’t last. I don’t know what it is, but the underlying feeling is there. It almost feels like I’m the surface we match up super well, but our underlying wants and needs vary drastically. That’s something that will take time to discover though, and honestly I think I’d rather be with him than alone at this point.

So where is this going?

Well, Valentine’s Day is this weekend, and if the snow isn’t too bad I’m going to meet his parents 🙃

Wish me luck 😂

Also as a side note, this is my first ginger and I think the farthest age gap where I’m older 😅 I’ve also learned that I love the look of red pubic hair lol…

… And now I’m thinking about what’s nestled in that pubic hair. Mmmf. Be right back, gotta go take care of something…

I can not handle much spicy foods. I know I have White taste buds... but why is ginger so spicy?! Why are cloves also spicy??!! Like yes of course my ancestors definitely deserve shame upon them, but must I be unable to eat shop shitting brought gingerbread!?! Must I be lumbered with making my own gingerbread only for my hand to slip, making the fiery ginger-fucking-not-even-bread-cake-in-a-bloody-mug??!!!

[dmitriene]

subby könig, who's rugged face turns simmering warm with scarlet flush, adorning his haphazard, messy ginger locks of hair, hiding the nervous dart of his baby blues, eyes bright over the fiery look his face holds, voice coming out as a rasp everytime he falls a victim of your unforgiving teasing.

clinging to his meaty bicep each time you two are out, grocery shopping, small stroll to the nearby park, a good evening in a bar, the way your dainty hands wrap around his skin shouldn't make könig so restless and aroused, but it is, and you know it really well, enjoying each minute of his tensing muscles.

gliding your hand over könig's muscular, thick thigh, watching how his muscles jump and ripple under the mere innocent brush of your fingers, his legs moving to squeeze together briefly, jeans tenting over his skin at the movement, and not only there, but at his crotch too, an embarrassingly big bulge throbbing awake for your attention.

könig can barely hold himself together, the usual, guttural voice turning into a whiny, babbling mess of stuttering words and gentle «liebling, bitte» when you sink your nails into his leg teasingly, leaning over to smooch at his face, each feathery touch of your plump lips leaving a smudge of gloss, sticky and sweet, as innocent as your hand that creeps to his aching bulge.

maybe someone will notice how hard he is when you'll two walk back out of the bar, female giggles ringing somewhere from his side, making könig's head turn toward you, hiding from the attention so sweetly, nose bumping against your temple as he shifts, his calloused hand tightening around yours, knuckles whitening, rough skin turning dewy from sweat.

könig that moans hoarsely, broking out on a raspy gasps at how you ride his pulsing cock, clutches of your slick, warm cunt snug and pooling wetness, gummy walls spasming with each slow, languid roll of your hips, supple skin spanned entirely under his desperate, clinging hold, as he watches the way you bounce seductively on his lap.

we need to talk about The Silence and The Song

[PLEASE READ] edit to add: i realise that this post has been reblogged far and wide and that there is not a lot i can do about it now, but this is me trying anyway.

posting examples from the fic about my issues with its repetitive structure was careless of me, and i apologise to those of you who read it and became insecure about your own writing style. as someone who has worked with ai in academic settings, it's incredibly difficult for me to explain to you how the tone and structure of ai-generated fiction works and how, after reading enough of it, you can simply just tell. i do also realise that this is an incredibly weak argument, which is why i didn't include it when i originally wrote this post.

all that to say: there is an enormous difference between "beginner's writing" and ai writing. being repetitive as a new writer (or a seasoned one who just likes using repetition) is so normal. as is flowery/purple language. i've read hundreds of books and fics and the difference between these traits in ai-text and actual works is starkly clear. please don't feel anxious over the examples i've used in this post.

again, i apologise for any distress i have caused.

as per my last post, i have received a lot of encouragement to go public with this, and the more disappointed people i have in my dms, the angrier i get. so i will.

the silence and the song is an ancient arlathan au DA fic on ao3 by luxannaslut, and it is partly, if not entirely, written by an ai. i have no wish to be involved in any kind of fandom drama or witch hunting or bullying, but as a writer myself there are few things that piss me off more than watching people steal the work of others because they can't be fucked to write. it's disrespectful to your fellow writers, it's disrespectful to your readers, and it's disrespectful to the authors of the works the ai is stealing from.

ai is a plague that has no business being in creative spaces and you must do better.

the writing pattern

there was something very odd and monotone about the sentence structure of tsats that i couldn't quite place, so i fed chatgpt a prompt along the lines of "two people in a fantasy novel hate each other, but they secretly desire one another, and they kiss", and the screenshots above are the results. the third one is an excerpt from chapter 40 of tsats. the writing pattern is identical and it doesn't seem like the "writer" has even bothered to pretend they wrote it. if you're going to use ai, at least be sneaky about it. you know, paraphrase a little.

nonsense descriptions

"her nimble fingers worked with quiet precision" (ct. 1), "his grip firm but tender" (ct. 33), "her gown pooling around her like embers" (ct. 1).

fingers don't make sound, so what does quiet precision mean? as opposed to what? her joints cracking with every movement? how is a grip firm but tender? what does that mean? since when do embers pool?

the entire fic is littered with these adjectives that contradict each other or just straight up do not make sense, because all an ai does is generate descriptive language with no understanding of what the words it's spitting out actually mean. i could spend hours picking out examples from the seven billion pages worth of text, but i quite frankly have better things to do and would simply challenge you to try getting through a chapter or two without noticing the pattern.

repetition at structure-level

all the scenes in this fic are described in pretty much the same way. they open with purple prose vomit of the surroundings; solas is standing somewhere looking "unreadable as ever"; ellana's fiery golden molten fire copper ember ginger red hair is flowing this and that way; there's some dialogue with whoever is present and it leaves ellana feeling different variations of "something she couldn't name". this is, once again, a blatantly obvious sign of ai. below is the result of me feeding chatgpt the line "write me a scene from a fantasy novel where a woman with red hair is sitting on the ground in a magical garden at night", and side by side with that is the opening scene of the fic. make your own judgement.

repetition at word-level

this one speaks for itself. we fucking get it. her dress is orange, her hair is red, mythal's presence is heavy in the room, solas looks unreadable, compassion is sitting on her head like a crown, solas' ears are betraying him and ellana's move with every thought she thinks. we get it. the issue here is that an ai remembers the info you feed it, but not necessarily the info it shits out. if it's being told to write scene after scene of an elven woman with a gown that looks like fire doing xyz, it's going to do so with no regard for how many times the reader has already been informed of these details.

lastly: the breakneck speed

359,6k words in four weeks by a person who allegedly is employed and married and hasn't pre-written anything? no. any writer will tell you that this simply isn't possible. it absolutely infuriates me to see how much praise this "writer" gets for posting up to three full chapters in a day without anyone calling bullshit. i am pulling out my hair, you guys.

why i'm not going to live and let live this one

perhaps i would be less angry if the fic was some silly bullshit court intrigue Y/A stuff, but this is a text that handles very heavy and triggering topics such as SA, coercion, domestic abuse, and other things of the same vein. to sit back and put your feet up while having a robot write these extremely sensitive and very real human experiences with words it has stolen from texts written by actual persons is fucking heinous. the "writer" should be deeply ashamed of themselves and i'm sick and tired of watching people eat up their bs.

and on that note: the amount of people in my dm's telling me that they feel stupid and naive for not clocking this has infuriated me more than anything else. you're not foolish for this. being fed ai-generated bullshit is not what is supposed to happen on any creative platform and much less a fandom-centred one, so of course no one approaches a fic through that lens. fandom and fic writing is supposed to be about passion and the only person in this situation who needs to do better and change their behaviour is luxannaslut. polluting our creative spaces, wasting the time of your readers, and minimising the effort of actual writers who are working hard to provide content for us all to share and enjoy is vile and so, so lazy. i beg of you: do better.
