#intimate affair

[wolfisland]

hold on actually i have a question that comes from pure morbid curiosity

please rb this i am so fucking nosy i wanna know how many of you are homewreckers

for clarity: by "messed around" i mainly mean dated, spoken with in an explicitly romantic or sexual way, or hooked up with someone already in a relationship. whether you count an emotional affair is up to you.

I need him badly I fear I can no longer control myself...

freaky (toxic) kist 4: this is what i'm for...

i have to resign myself to the fact that i am a kist shipper... idea courtesy of @howlsofbloodhounds (i blame you for this)

(cw: d/s dynamic, worship, sacrilege i guess? not safe or sane)

if we're talking about killer as the vessel of the angel and dust believing himself to be the angel who will free everyone, then the relationship between them will be much freakier. imagine killer giving dust acts of worship, especially after each time they slaughter people on their missions. killer kneels on his knees at dust's bloodstained feet, holding one hand that dust proffers to him - the hand that has killed so many people - and kissing it reverently, like a courtly knight to his lady of exaltation. imagine the light shining upon dust like a halo. imagine if killer insists on giving dust a veil to put on, making dust look more holy and protected in his eyes.

but also consider if the dynamic is more... unconventional, i say. killer worships dust as the angel, but he's not entirely submissive. he's the one taking dust away from his universe - he's the one intentionally keeping dust close with him, either due to a vague sense of duty or obsession. maybe it's both. he wants dust to think he's under dust's control like a collared dog, but truth is he's also keeping dust in a pretty bird cage unable to fly away. killer calls dust "my angel" both with devotion and possessiveness. he can so easily burn the wings and chain the angel to his side forever.

and there are times killer is overcome with a desire to kill his god(s), to overpower them. he wants to take control, to escape from his predestined role and script. so he turns to the only object of worship that he can touch and hurt. pushing his idol down and wounding him. drawing blood and dust with his teeth. defiling the sacred body. killer feels the rush of intoxicating power through the act, watching as the angel unravel under him and be molded under his hands. and after the deed is done, after the frenzy is gone, he would crawl on his hands and knees, once again the perfect image of a servant. saying words of idolatry. attentively taking care of dust. maybe even subjecting himself to the whims of his angel.

[robzombies-hotwife]

Sometimes i think about Will literally clinging to Hannibal, so hard that he's digging his nails into Hannibal's shoulders, and crying/shuddering as Hannibal is ripping him open. And Hannibal CRADLED him even as he was hurting him.

[lobotomizedpunk]

I just watched Intimate Affairs and omg, Alan is so sexy in this film, and for what?

I'm a huge weirdo so I enjoyed this movie (Especially Alan's character, Savy), tho I've seen some people not liking it at all, I'll say you give it a go if you are looking for more content about him :3

Anyway, I could match his freak. I mean, just look at him!

My disapproval of those who cheat on their partners is constantly at odds with my love of bisexual historical figures

[elescritornoctambulo]

Aún recuerdo el sabor de tus labios, aún tengo en la piel las marcas que tus caricias dejaron, aún siento el aroma de tu piel, y sobre todo, tengo las memorias de esas veces que nos entregamos al deseo que sentíamos. Quiero ser tuyo una vez más, quiero sentirme esclavo de tus deseos, y ser el responsable de tus momentos de pasión y desenfreno, quiero verte a los ojos mientras el éxtasis nos consume, mientras que nosotros nos volvemos uno, entrelazados en un instante erótico y tan lleno de fuego.

Porque nadie podrá lograr lo que solo tú puedes, porque nadie más que tú podrás sacias mis ganas, esas que parecen irracionales y que no dicen otra que tu nombre entre suspiros, quiero ser el salvaje animal que devore tu ser, y ser la vez la presa de tus perversiones, de ese lado que nadie más conoce, y que tanto me encanta.

Quiero maravillarme con cada rincón, quiero la suavidad de tus pechos, la lujuria que crece cuando escucho tus gemidos, quiero sentir una vez más esa entrega en la intimidad, esa que te hace una experta en el arte de amar, y que sabes muy bien que solo conmigo puedes dejar al descubierto. . . — Cesar P. “Noctámbulo” ©2024 #soyelnoctámbulo . . _____________________________________________ Respeta al autor.

You make a lot of good points there.

Something like TNA has very obvious gender coding errors, most notably when Paolo talks about how he's marrying Sofia to Sam because he wants her to be a wife and mother and he thinks women shouldn't be in the business world. Yet he's marrying Sofia to a female CEO? There's no amount of mental gymnastics you can do to make that work. And to add salt to the wound are other smaller errors like f!Sam saying the kids have been "without a mother figure" or that time when the kids called f!Sam "Dad".

On the other hand, I think a good example of male-coding that's a little more implicit is Reagan in Surrender. For the most part it probably is a bit easier to suspend any disbelief with female Reagan's writing and behavior. But when you see them say shit like "When a woman agrees to be my sub, she agrees to obey" it feels weird from the female version.

Granted that line has no place in this story regardless of Reagan's gender, but it feels like something that only a misogynistic abusive guy would say. It'd be one thing if they said "when you agree to be my sub you agree to obey" or "when someone agrees to be my sub they agree to obey", but to specify woman in it (even in the possible context that Reagan is into women only regardless of gender) adds a hint of misogyny to it that... doesn't feel right coming from a sapphic woman.

Similarly with Kit from Untameable. Their behavior for the most part felt gender neutral to me, but the way Austin treats their relationship with MC feels more suited for a wlm route. I mean, it's not completely nonsensical for the others and it's honestly terribly written even for the wlm route, but why the mlw route would not accuse him of being slutshamey or the mlm and wlw routes would not accuse him of being homophobic is a bit odd.

With an LI like Kieran though I feel like it's easier to suspend any disbelief. None of Kieran's behaviors felt like they'd be rooted in misogyny, plus it is a fantasy realm setting different from modern day earth.

The extra weird thing about gender coding for LIs is that sometimes it can make the f!LI routes more preferable. I have seen some people say Reagan's behaviors felt less uncomfortable and creepy when they were coming from the female version. And as a GNC woman myself, I far preferred the mlw routes for books like ID, SW, and TCH as they felt a little more refreshing, compared to how been-there-done-that they'd have felt in the originally intended wlm routes. But even then, although stuff like LI carrying MC or MC sitting in LI's lap aren't nonsensical with non-wlm to me, I do still want some stories where it's the wlm route that feels more refreshing than the mlw, y'know. I want to be the one holding the umbrella for the LI, or bridal-carrying the LI, or having the LI sitting in my lap.

I'm noticing a lot of these problems– both the actual male coding of f!LIs and the lack of variety in romance dynamics– do boil down to essentially PB being lazy. They just play it safe and rely on a narrow stereotyped view of who their audience is (genderconforming allocishet women) and what they think they like. They rarely if ever expand their boundaries– and what makes that tragic is the fact that they have shown to be capable of doing so every now and then. But for the most part, it's playing it safe 90% of the time.

Sorry for the long ask, I just have a lot of thoughts on this.

Don’t apologize for the long ask! I love talking about gender so thank you! 😊

I agree that TNA has very obvious gender coding errors that make it clear when PB wrote Sam they wrote them as a man. And you’re spot on that there’s a difference between Sam and Regan but at the end of the day their writing still comes across as them being male-coded.

I think the biggest problem with Untameable in terms of gender coding isn’t the writing of Kit themselves but how they write the other characters’ perceptions and reactions to Kit.

Austin is definitely way too overprotective when it comes to female Kit but my biggest gripe is how in rural Oklahoma everyone is completely okay with Kit being a player who has a history of hooking up with only women. And all the women publicly fawning over her too? It’s completely unrealistic and shows that PB didn’t even consider how this would be unbelievable when Kit is a woman.

Listen I’m all for more queernorm stories but this story isn’t queernorm because outside of female Kit and MC there is not a single queer romance depicted. So having everyone in rural Oklahoma know Kit is queer and having them all be okay with it and a bunch of girls fawn over her just shows that Kit was written as a man by PB.

With Kieran I gotta say I disagree with you there. Domestic abuse and intimate partner violence is rooted in the patriarchy and when the victim is a woman rooted in misogyny. Kieran kidnapped the MC and abused her. I don’t think having that be in a fantasy setting changes the gender roles in any way, not when they’re literally being abusive. Even if Kieran is a woman in someone’s story, that abuse is still rooted in the patriarchy and misogyny.

Furthermore, the Cursed Heart is clearly inspired by A Court of Thorns and Roses. This book series is ripe with misogyny, violence against women, and so forth. The love interest in that series is this dark, brooding man from the Night Court (yes PB used the same name too) who literally groomed the 19 year old main character, SA’d her, and kidnapped her. Yet his abuse is then justified by the author and he is turned into the romantic hero of the series.

So personally I think Kieran’s actions are rooted in the patriarchy and misogyny no matter if it’s in a fantasy world or not, no matter if they’re a man or a woman. Abuse is a lot more common in cishet relationships (and while it can obviously happen in queer relationships it’s not as prevalent and even then that abuse is still rooted in the patriarchy) and considering the inspiration behind the Cursed Heart as well I’d say that Kieran is male-coded.

And you’re spot on. The problem is that PB knows which people in their audience pay the most (genderconforming allocishet women) and writes stories for them. They don’t consider how the relationship dynamics are different when it’s a queer relationship compared to a cishet one.

PB has definitely shown that they’re capable of it. For example, when playing Guinevere I really at any point never picked up on the LIs being heavily gendered towards male or female. And I agree PB absolutely has the ability to write these stories and LIs with care and consideration they just choose not to. It’s all about money these days which is very disappointing

Thanks for the ask!
