this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

it makes me want to tear my hair out when someone mentions that platonic relationships need to have sexual/romantic undertones to be interesting. friendships that blur the lines between romantic and platonic is great, friendships that have sexual relations are great, any kind of friendship is great. but these days im seeing this awful thought of "friendship needs to not be strictly platonic to be interesting and platonic" and people don't realise that this is just "friendships are less important than romantic/sexual relationship" in a different font. im very intense about my friends and each of my relationship with them is different than the other. one of my best friends is also almost like my partner. another one of my best friend is just my best friend. there is nothing romantic or sexual orientation whatever between us. i love both of them dearly and one relationship here is not more important than the other to me. i smile so wide my face hurts when i see her walking towards me. we used to live a few streets away and yet everytime i saw her i used to run to go embrace her. i have seen them in their lowest and they have seen me in mine. i do not want to kiss her on the lips or make her my girlfriend. the thought has never crossed my mind. but she has saved my life multiple times. she is a part of my soul. she is my friend. and if you say "yeah, that's what i mean, that emotion and its intensity is inherently romantic!" then that means you haven't experienced the height of love and care friendship can offer and im so sorry for your loss. also you are subscribing into the inherently harmful thought of "everything that is intense and meaningful is romantic". like my wonderful friend vik once said, "they're not my just anything. they're my friends."

powerful mental image of lucanis expounding passionately about any given one of his limited but extremely deep areas of interest (the wyvern/knives/coffee/cooking/murder continuum of lucanis dellamorte special interests if you will) while rye lounges around and Beholds him with palpable twink boutta pounce energy

This is a question I had for a while..who’s top and who’s bottom in the golden spice ship?

Down here 👇

Bit of a weird question to ask since the top/bottom dynamic is specifically for gay couples (mlm). It describes who gives it and who receives it ("it" being dick). It doesn't really work with hetero pairs because the man gives it by default. That's just how it works. Man = plug, woman = socket

So Burning Spice is the "top" bc of course he is haha. I don't think he's 100% dominant all the time, per se, I imagine them taking turns being the one "in charge" in bed (makes sense with who they are as individuals + how their relationship works imo). But there's more than one way to do that besides who puts the dick where. Example... Burning Spice is tied down to the bed so he isn't able to touch Golden Cheese while she rides him. If he tries to move or break free, he gets punished (like. He gets slapped or punched or something. Or she tightens the restraints enough to hurt*. Not being able to touch her is torture on its own tbh, everything else is extra). He's not allowed to squirm, he has to sit there and let her do what she wants without interference. He has to be a good toy/slave and let her use him. Stuff like that. He's still giving it but she's dictating how he does so ykwim

*I understand that he'd be into getting slapped around like that lol. He's a huge sadomasochist, he'd want to get roughed up just as much as he'd want to rough her up. He'd act out just to entice her to hit him again because he likes it. Then obey and do as she says because her being so domineering is hot af. Then do it all over again. He wins either way. (Only thing that sucks there is not being able to touch her tbh. He cannot keep his hands off of her, in bed and out of it. But she can atone for denying him this simple yet addicting pleasure another time...)
