[transgender-catboy]

I just got the best anon that I'm gonna have to try and answer tomorrow

[utilitycaster]

Ludinus: why are you here?

Bells Hells: ...

[ganondoodle]

did you hear about that the zelda notes finally explained what happened to the sheikah tech in totk? a voice memory describes that after the events of botw and link defeating calamity ganon, all the sheikah technology and divine beasts started to crumble and turn to dust, and that the first one to break down was Vah Ruta as seen in the secret ending of botw, the only thing of sheikah tech that remains are replicas made by robbie and purah, it also implies the guardian on top of robbies lab is a replica.

im sure you mean well anon but, risking sounding like i am negativity in person and wont take any answer as an answer- i think that 1. doesnt change anything 2. was clearly an afterthought or ... them scrambling to try and sound like they totally planned it all from the start after, to them unexpectedly apparently, realizing people actually cared about things (its still bad even if they did plan that ..)

just vanishing and crumbling to dust are really the same thing if you ask me, its just like describing something exploding as an "unexpected rapid dismembering" (or however they called spacex rockets blowing up lol), vah ruta stopping to work after the end of botw was, imo, much more logical to mean, well their pilot is gone (as the champions spirit disappear supposedly permanently (though you cant be sure now about that either now i guess huh RAURU??HMM??? mister uuuh aaahh totoally goneeeee much tragiqué woops wait i need to deus ex machina your girlfriend and take back my arm)) and with them the one .. to pilot them plus possibly their power source as well (that 'theory' just makes too much sense)

if you think about it it still doesnt make it any better, the stuff in totk being replicas? welll ... obviously they were newly built stuff (off the little there is left...), and replica sounds like a copy when none of the stuff they have there is an actual copy aside from maybe the terminals to get into a tower? also how and when did they do that?? the knowledge about the tech was largely lost and i dont think alot of time passed between the end of botw and the extra scene- why wouldnt they copy guardians or anythign else more useful? the guardian on top of the hateno institute was extremely clearly a super old one, it was unfunctional and overgrown strapped to the roof in botw already- purahs stone thingy and all lanterns and sources of energy went poof too (WHERE DO THEY GET THE POWER FROM NOW?????????????????????????????????????????????), idk if the easter egg prototype titan is still there but that and cherry would be the only thing i can think of that they might have built during the 100 years they had to built stuff in botw (AND CHERRY IS GONE TOO instead a tiny version of her that what, is a shop to get your photos at????????? what?????), and now they just suddendly can built massive things? did they also find out what powers it and how and managed to built a secret replica of a fireborn (idk the english name, the flaming source) that you cant ever find (i cant check i dont have the game anymore but i dont remember a flame or otherwise sourcing thingy in the spypost- not that it would matter, its shiekah tech after all, bleurgh, we got sonau "tech" nowww) and then choose to built pretty useless stuff at that? wouldnt it have been more sensical to preserve the lasers and automations of guardians or something isntead of ... a tower that flings link, and only link mind you, into the air? to scan the ground in an very dangerous manner that is also just miles more stupid and inefficient than the previous towers????? like couldnt add to a tower to scan upwards also??????

the old problems remain! why the hell would everythign crumble or vanish? it lasted for over 10 thousand fucking years with no power either exposed to the elements or dug underground and now it just goes up in flames withtin what, a day? it remains a "woah didnt think anyone would care to ask that lol just uuuuh *makes up shit on the spot*" answer

the ooooh clamgan was defeated excuse doesnt work any better with this as it did before, if ganondorf was not connected to clamgan (which is stupid) and it 'crumbles to dust' when clamgan is defeated it should have done so in the og battle 10k years ago! if he IS connected to it why the fuck would it go away now?????? he is still there???????

and im also asking why would all of shiekah tech just crumble away into literally nothing when the stupid sonau(zonai) shit is like, largely in prime condition even though that is supposedly even OLDER (i guess the sonau are jsut that much cooler uwu their stuff lasts forever or until its timer runs out lmao and is much better anywayyyy)

this is not an attack against you anon, but i dont believe this bullshit, they are trying to stitch up holes they dug themselves and you cant get out of anymore no matter how much they roll around in it bc they didnt account for people to actually fukcing care, or, if they did plan this (which i do not believe) it STILL SUCKS and makes no sense and really .. jsut means that it really was this stupid and meaningless as it feels now from the start. they dont want you to think about it, they can say whatever they want and expect you to swallow it. they dont care.

i suppose the jokes on us, the shiekah were able to see the future and knew they would be replaced by a totally always there and also totally better version of all their stuff thats actually worse but with a totally no overused new paint job so they thoughtfully added a best before date on all botw relevant shiekah things and we all know that a day over it means it molds and dissolves in your very hands before you can even put it in the trashcan.

uwu.

How did you think of wwx's mouth hooks in losing hope?

WOAH I NEVER GOT THIS ASK. I WAS JUST SCROLLING THROUGH AND THEN BOOM THERE IT IS. IT'S BEEN A MONTH. HELLO, BARELY-AN-ARTIST. You sent me an ask about my ultimate delight and I DIDN'T GET IT!?!? Insulting and rude of me I tell you. ANYWAY!!! ANYWAY!!!!!

Basically, I was thinking of how to make Wei Wuxian's imprisonment with the Jin actually make sense. While he had the chains holding him in place, there was nothing stopping him from using his obvious ghost cultivation to summon resentful spirits and get himself out! So, he had to be silenced. At first, I was thinking of a contraption that works the same as the one that he ended up with, except that it had a metal bit that stopped his tongue from being able to move - no hooks involved! Then I started thinking about the logistics of it. If he wasn't able to move his tongue during his thirteen years of entrapment, he wouldn't be able to talk properly, if at all. It seemed pretty neato at first but one, I couldn't write that for shit! And for two, it's necessary for Wei Wuxian to speak. Yes, he doesn't speak fully well at first in LH, but it's much easier for him to speak when channelling spiritual energy and honestly, it's still much better than if he couldn't move his tongue at all.

So, I had to scrap that idea. Of course, I have a best friend who really likes Saw and, while I despise gore, he seems to be fine with it. He made me watch the first Saw with him, and a little after that I was like "hold on. The reverse bear trap stops Amanda from being able to talk." The reverse bear trap (RBT if you will) is very very similar to the final product of WWX's 'mouth hooks', except the pieces within the RBT that pull apart the jaw from the head are much closer together, cutting the corners of ones lips (from what I remember). Also, it snaps shut. Like a bear trap. I didn't need anything so complex, just needed something that can shut someone up like that. The pieces in the RBT are flat like plates, but why on earth would I want that? Too simple. Giving WWX mouth hooks means that the band of metal that they're melded into doesn't need the bit over his head like the one in the RBT. Plus, he couldn't open his mouth at all with the hooks, because they're digging into his gums. No mouth open, means no sound aside from the humming he did (which kept his vocal cords functioning). Plus, cool mouth holes.

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍⚧️

This month's question is themed. Tell me about Steps' orientations. Do they identify differently from how you'd describe them? Has their orientation/attraction changed since their Sidestep era?

helloooo!!! happy pride month to you too cigs!!! hope its been a good one so far :) and thank you for the question! anyway. again i say:

WEARING MY TSHIRT THAT SAYS ASK ME ABOUT MY SIDESTEPS GENDER AND SEXUAL IDENTITIES. IM NORMAL ABOUT THIS. AND SO ARE MY SIDESTEPS. I PROMISE YOU.

Caine:

pt 2 of "their identity is arguably the most complex out of all of my sidesteps and hes figuring None of that out": i would describe him as bisexual, biromantic, demisexual, and the same flavour of aromantic that ortega is (no concept of what romantic attraction actually is so hes open to dating anyone who wants to). they just found out they were bisexual as of retribution and fully believe they have everything about their identity sorted out. all of that is Before i throw the puppet (hark) into the mix because hark is a cis gay man. they really did think they were straight during his sidestep days, having been taught that straight was the default at the farm and finding no reason to stray from that idea (Especially if hes got julia, where dating her reinforced the idea he was straight). being able to compare their own emotions with chen through telepathy, either through learning theyve been harbouring a crush on ricardo for years or learning theyre mutually attracted to chen, was the only way he managed to find out he was bisexual. as for the demisexual aspect of it all, the possibility of being on the ace spectrum kinda had a wrench thrown into it by the assumption that Every regene was ace. because why would the farm program sexual attraction into them???? nobodys having sex any time soon??????? hark experiences sexual attraction with ricardo, but thats because harks human. obviously. the first time he actually feels sexual attraction for his partners will be both a jumpscare and a complete paradigm shift. i cannot stress enough how fucking funny i find this utter mess of a sexuality.

Cyrus:

HEY. HEY REMEMBER THIS.

YEAH WERE ABOUT TO GET INTO SOME FUCKING CONFUSION HERE. he personally enjoys labels because it makes him feel in control of his own identity, and it helps direct peoples perception of him. that being said, he would personally describe himself as pansexual. i, however, cannot pin down his sexuality for the Life of me. is he gay??? bisexual with a preference for men??? a more specific label like omnisexual or abrosexual???? who knows!!!! i dont and at this rate im going to give up trying!!!!!! honestly hes not above taking up the label queer, im just a bit stubborn about this lmao. like his gender though, regardless of the specific label, its something thats stayed very constant throughout the years. so constant, in fact, he may or may not have a Type, and if anybody points that out hed simply vanish from the earth never to be seen again.

Cecilia:

cecilias a lesbian! she has been since her sidestep days. i actually hc that ricardo confessed to her once and she laughed in his face about it. um. sorry ricardo. she may even be some version of aroace, it wouldnt surprise me tbh, but she continues to elude me. if she does turn out on that spectrum, itd be something she already 100% knew and simply chose to leave me in the dark about. cecilia is very confident in her identity. or at least she was, until ace came along and messed everything up. see, while ceci is a lesbian, ace is a straight woman. a straight woman who sleeps with merle abelard. but its cecilias mind in ace, right??? does that mean shes secretly not a lesbian???? (no.) has she been faking it this whole time????? (no.) will mortum hate her forever if he found out????? (no. may hate her forever for other reasons though, considering that betrayed status.) aces attraction throws ceci for a loop a lot of the time, and its one of the reasons shes so uncomfortable in aces body. cecis sexuality is one of the few things she has for herself, an external factor calling that into question is genuinely upsetting. but as her creator who (hopefully) isnt getting tricked this time, i can confirm she is a lesbian whose naturally forward personality simply pushes ace to act on physical attraction.

Chance:

actually???? genuinely the most normal about his sexuality out of all of my sidesteps. she describes herself as bisexual, and i have no notes on it. his problems are a lot more focused on his gender lmfao, she knew from the minute she stepped out of the farm and saw how hot regular ass people could be that she was doomed to forever short-circuit whenever somebody pretty/handsome passed by him on the street. and you know what. good for her.

[poetrysmackdown]

some informal thoughts

hello! hope the holiday season has been kind to all of you. and i hope all my jewish followers had a lovely hanukkah! anyways, since i said a few months ago that i’d pick poetry smackdown back up sometime around this time of year, i thought i should make a post. the gist of it is that i’m still quite busy, i have a break that’s about three weeks shorter than I was planning on, and i don’t currently have the mental bandwidth required to read, contemplate, and sort through poem submissions in a way that does justice to them, even if i were to recruit some friends to help out. since running a tournament format requires at least five weeks of continued engagement once it’s underway, and since i’m not at capacity to offer that right now due to the change in my schedule, i’m gonna have to bow out for now. sad bc i was looking forward to it!

my hope is that i’ll have some more time over the summer to hunker down with it, in which case you’ll be hearing from me. it’ll frankly depend on the kind of job i land in for the summer, but i find that my unemployed spirit can typically keep me doing stupid shit regardless of workload...to a point. i don’t want to make any promises because i don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up just to let them down again LOL. i do admit the amount of exposure the first tournament got has made me feel like more of a perfectionist this time around, doubly because i don’t feel that i’m very suited to being a public online presence (even a relatively quite small one)—i’m bad enough at responding to emails for my own real life responsibilities, let alone tumblr asks for the silly responsibilities i invent for myself lol. that’s not to say i no longer want to do it, or i don’t enjoy it, or even that i don’t feel capable of making a really interesting bracket—just that if i am working to put something new together, and if people are taking the time to submit poems they care about, then i don’t want to half-ass it.

my second admission is something like this. I made the original bracket as a celebration of poetry and our relationships to it. yes it was silly and competitive, and the poems were very tumblr, but still, celebration was the intention—I wanted to have conversations about poetry. I stand by the bracket format as a fun and valuable way to foster conversations about poetry, but truthfully, the poems i’m wanting to have conversations about right now—the poems that we should be talking about right now—are ones that i'm not comfortable putting in a bracket. I reblogged The Baffler’s Poems from Palestine collection on here earlier, and Najwan Darwish’s “Who Remembers The Armenians?”, which I still often find repeating through my head when I'm traveling from one place to another, walking home or riding the bus. I came across this beautiful thread recently where people have been translating Dr. Refaat Alareer’s “If I Must Die” into their own languages (this just makes my translator's heart sing!!!!!!). @havingapoemwithyou has been posting some great poems from and for Palestine as well—check out their tag here.

There's always more to add, and I'll be posting more on here as I come across it, but that's what I feel anyone should be focusing on right now when it comes to poetry. i think poetry can be an escape but it should never be a distraction. does that make sense? i wouldn't be against doing a one-off poll here or there, but it feels weird to be making a tournament for poetry right now, or anytime soon. i feel like what free time i have right now is still best utilized helping my friends with organizing in the real world. and god, a bit off-topic but while I'm talking, fuck poetry foundation—I have so much respect for all the poets keeping up the boycott, because while i think it's a simple decision, it's not always an easy one (Aurielle Lucier discussed that here).

anyways, if you read all of this, thank you for your time!! I could go on and on, but really this was just meant to be a message telling y'all that there won't be another tournament for a while lol. even so i'll be trying to use this small silly platform as best i can until palestine is free because that's the absolute least i can do.

[greenbirdtrash]

This is the first and the last photos of her.

Today Flea passed away.

I haven't cried like that in a long time, I'm still shaking and completely smeared in soil, and all the time I've been digging, I just couldn't stop crying, but how little I care about myself now.

We buried her in the same spot where all my birds are buried.

I want to howl like a wounded animal and throw something heavy at smeone, but I realize that somewhere in the back of my mind I've felt a timer ticking ever since she got sick. And this whole time, I've tried to ignore it. It's been an entire month of struggles and fighting. Daily shots, manual feeding, weight control, inhalations, lots of medication and sleepless nights, I saw the tiniest improvements in her condition, she finally started gaining weight and eating on her own recently, and i truly believed that she will recover. But there is a million things and hidden reasons that I will never know about, and I am not sure that I'm in the right headspace to request an autopsy only for a dry and unemotional text about the organs of what was the most precious, loved and intelligent animal just a few hours ago.

Maybe i wasn't a "picture perfect" rat owner, but I gave my girls everything to have a happy life, full of enrichment and treats.

And now I think I probably shouldn't have left the house today, but even if I had stayed and watched over her just a little more, what could i possibly do? Maybe if she felt it was her time, i couldn't do anything about it, no matter how hard i tried or what i did.

I don't even know for sure if it was because of the lung failure, or maybe she had some hidden developmental abnormalities or other disease we didn't know about. Maybe it was just too late and she was already living on a borrowed time only because of me. I don't know

All I know is that she somehow waited for me to get back home and passed away on my lap, being gently petted and talked to in the comfort of familiar scents and surroundings, and I really want to think that in her last moments she felt loved and didn't suffer much.

I wish my personal graveyard would never get bigger, but it's not like i could do anything about it.

I knew about how little rats actually live, how often they get sick and need expensive treatment, but I went for it anyway, and when I finally got my girls, it was the best year ever for me. Two little fluffballs took all my love and affection and gave their own in return, they managed to pull me out of the nastiest depression episodes so many times, giving me a reason to get up in the morning at all, they gave me countless amount of joy and wonder, and now....Her sister Fly is all alone. I don't know how much they actually understand, but somehow, even with their tiny little heads they have complex personalities and empathy, and when things went down, she slept on the wooden shelf next to the transportation box Flea was in, for a few days straight, instead of the cozy hammock. When they finally got reunited, she constantly licked the porphyrin off her eyes, groomed her fur when she was too weak for it, and this whole rat-to-rat communication i just cannot replace for her. I don't know what to do. I'm so exhausted.

Death is especially cruel for those who are able to process and understand the loss it brings, but it's natural and inevitable anyway.

I wish you the softest clouds over the rainbow, my little brave girl...I will never forget you.

Nine getting jealous that some of the other tailses are growing taller than him (poor boy didn't realize that welding a bunch of robot spider legs to his spine might stunt his growth)

Remember how in the show he always kept using them to gain height on others so he'd be taller and more intimidating? Yeah...

[rotting-ink]

Since we are on OLL hornee spree, what are the ROs fav sex positions? Who totally would bend MC into a pretzel (or bend into a pretzel themselves)?

So, I'm going to say this as a PSA. Positions change with every session. More so with OLL and Mad Heir. For rotwood it was easier cuz I like just pointing at the werewolves and saying doggy.

So, god knows. I don't think anyone has a favourite, just places and situations. Shrug.

i haven't been writing across any blogs because i'm in the midst of wrapping up a pile of research papers I've been doing for uni for the past few months. might slap a semi-hiatus across the board 😭

[lordofthesoups]

In regards to the "what character do you associate with me" thing, yeah I think the Witch might still be the character I associate with you. I mean also kind of the whole au dollins we've got going on but mainly the Witch

I don't think folks will throw rocks at you. Her life is kind of interesting - both her more adverse view of humanity and how she was kind of raised by an entity of rot and darkness and decay. Someone sometime did a whole essay about how she's described as hunched with gnarled fingers and yeah that's kind of playing on the classic description of a witch but you can also interpret that as her sort of having a smaller view of herself and the effect of being half eaten by worms before being brought back to life - a gift I'm sure (sarcasm) wasn't mentioned throughout her childhood and probably left physical and mental scars. Considering her view of humanity and her life, how she tried to help John does make some sense. She's kind of indoctrinated. (note - I am a big Grace Chasity fan. so. yeah.) The Witch is kind of interesting.

personally, I've got issues with the whole "bringing people back to life and then using them as wombs for maggots," thing but that's more to do with one of my biggest fears being eaten by bugs/ ants/ worms and the like from the inside out and/or having bugs crawling everywhere. And I did enjoy John shooting her in the head with the "Only I decide who I am" while Faroe's Song (piano and cello) plays loudly in the background. cool moment. But yeah I don't think people will throw rocks at you for liking her character.

dude dude i love her so much. This has got me thinking again about her. Also hi that was me, i did that essay. Im so glad it was memorable enough to stick with you though (i am jumping for joy) <33333

❝ i've heard a few things about you. ❞

" all good things, i hope? " though it's hard to see the curve of his lips beneath the mask, the smirk on his face is easy to hear. he knows spider-man's reviews are mixed at best, his reputation was dotted with good deeds & terrible rumors alike.

it was a part of wearing a mask, or at least that's what he told himself. only a handful of people knew for sure who he was, what he stood for, why he fought so hard. he sets the sentiment down, instead offering a bright sarcasm, " i'm sure you're familiar with my squeaky-clean record. "

hey guys so I just started reading Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott and OMG AHSBNSBSBSNSNBSHZHSHDBFHGGHFHGRJ2KSHSBSNSK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THINKING ABOUT THE RELATIVITY BETWEEN DIMENSIONS!!!!!!

[prettyboykatsuki-moved]

may i pick ur brain wrt something? you write such a large variety of characters and i think you have great skill in following through with a character's characterization (lol) to their sexual life. i was wondering what do you choose to focus on or how you approach figuring out a character's sexual style (?) when you write? im pretty new to writing smut (i write in general but i usually just fade to black) and im having trouble translating a character's neurosis into sexual acts, particularly when you move beyond the vanilla missionary etc sex (which im not particularly interested in writing even tho i think it can be emotionally poignant in its own right).

what i have most trouble with is like figuring out if a certain act fits character a or character b in my ensemble, say, and then moving through with that. i've been trying to approach it like fighting styles bc of the character's physicality, but there are certain temperamental and moral tensions informing fighting in particular (as a deliverance of violence, i mean) that make it hard for me to pinpoint how to translate that to sex without it feeling shoehorned. for example (and this is just for reference), i have a character who's like a gunslinger and whose style is very explosive and wild and a little bit cocky, but when u look at it under the microscope, his approach is polished and precise and meticulous. and THEN his internality is of a young man with a lot of anger and stunted growth, who really just wants acceptance and affection deep down, and who is so very tired. now i can translate each of those things and its combinations a hundred thousand ways, but which is correct? or faithful to him? at one point it all seems unfathomable to me. and then bc i can't make up my mind i fear everything i write ends up being too plain, or ill-fitting, and because my cast is large, it also all ends up feeling too same-y. has this ever been an issue for you?

first of all - i want to say thank you for entrusting and believing in my writing abilities enough to want to pick my brain about this. i'm not entirely sure what the appeal of my writing is to other people (not in a negative way but more in that its my own stuff so im always critical of it) but i put forth a lot of thought in characterization and translating that into sex as i am primarily a smut writer so while im not the most confident u should come to me for advice, im deeply flattered and will do my best anyway

i'll be real though, the best advice is genuinely just not to overthink it and go with your gut. have some faith in your own writing voice and ideas etc. but anyway

there are a lot of layers to this question and i'll do my best to go through it bit-by-bit. and i don't know if this will really help you since it might come off vague

if i can offer you any advice on characterizing well in a smut scene, it's to not view the smut as a separate entity to your work but as an integral part of it's infrastructure. do not treat the smut scene as part of the work, but as a pillar of it.

the other thing is understanding what is personally compelling to u or arousing about this characters storyline or personality. and not arousing as in physical lust, but what concepts tickle you and make you want to write.

the truth is there's no objectively correct way to characterize a character especially if they're nuanced and complex. which is why all writing is subjective in a sense.

ultimately, it's your job as the author to choose what characterization you like best and convince the audience it's the correct one.

for example, the character you're describing is multifaceted. there are several ways you can take the direction of the story

their outward persona is being a cocky gunslinger who is inwardly polished, meticulous, sensitive and tired. all of these traits can be expanded upon into sexual acts based on your will as the writer - so you have to ask yourself, what aspect of this character is the most arousing to you as a writer or what is this sex scene intending to display about a character. what trait of theirs are you hoping to highlight through sex?

to translate these things into sex gets really tricky and is honestly something you have to experiment with until you feel it click.

for me - if i were attempting to write this character, the breakdown process would look something like this.

this character has a personality gap of being a cocky gunslinger but is actually polished and meticulous

this means they they are likely concerned with appearances.

something in their past must've brought them to that conclusion. if they are continuing to outwardly project themselves as a reckless gunslinger - it is is likely not their "true" self.

what would make a character with this many defense show their true selves, or what other characters cause this character to demonstrate to their true selves?

the translation process of eroticism can go in a hundred different languages. if i personally were writing this character, i might pair them with an older mentor type of character, or a nonchalant rival. i might put them in a situation that requires a different kind of vulnerability and forces them to expose some of their nature for the sake of their ideals

as an author, im aroused by the idea of them showing their submission and affectionate side. trying to subconsciously appeal to authority figures might be interesting if i'm trying to demonstrate their lack of validation. the opposite can also be true, that a character like this might resent mentor / authority figures that impede their own ideas and trying to highlight their anger. writing this gunslinger lashing out at a fellow gunslinger they respect can easily be turned into erotica.

you could pair this character with a nonchalant rival type. a direct opposite that challenges a characters morals ideological belief or perhaps - understands them through their differences. this rival character pays enough attention to the gunslinger to know that they are polished and special. while they are rivals, there's something legitmate in their dynamic to this sensitive, tired character who puts up a facade and wants to be understood.

your own arousal as an author comes in here and where you have to make choices.

lets say then, i go with the latter. i would then structure the story or chapter around this idea through by demonstrating the push and pull of their relationship. i would subvert this characters personality through the framework of submission and a desire for acceptance. i'd write the erotica about the slow crescendo to sex with their rival who seems to accept them fully. i'd write about their different meetings, choosing small things to represent larger themes. maybe their rival praises their technique or offers them a listening ear. i use those small moments to build up to the intimacy and weave the erotic stuff into the story itself so when the sex comes it feels gratifying and releases tension (lol)

for the actual sex stuff you just have to go with your gut and distinguish things based on what traits you're showing. maybe this characters need for affection and rest makes them a whiny bottom. as a writer, i'd monopolize that. i'd point out their eagerness to please through desperation like kissing or nuzzle, and i'd have their words contradict their actions to display their personality gap etc

for me being structured around erotica means going through that kind of mental process and and building a story framework from the ground up and aiming for a proper sex scene. the erotica process is weaved into the plot mechanisms, the metaphors, the stories ideology. the smut is the point, and every action is central to emphasizing what is going to end up happening. my better examples of this lately are probably uncle sukuna rip

ive been writing smut for long enough now that i do not struggle with it and it's easy for me to come up with a unique character voice and do all the above sort of automatically in my mind. and i know it can feel intimidating.

the best advice i can give you though again is don't overthink it which ik seems contradictory to all of the above advice. but sometimes you just have to let yourself go with the flow and believe in your own abilities. trust your gut and just shoot straight ahead.

i hope this was bale to help u some!!
