#this is 50 shades of not okay

[vampprince-sono]

Me: “Sono’s been posting a lot of concert pics and they’re all so pretty and ethereal, I can’t wait for more”

Sono:

Me: FUCKING TRANQUILIZE ME [incoherent guttural noises]

[anonazure]

Ok so basically...

Fred won on Twitter and Colin won on Tumblr. So I drew both versions. Either way, I think they're gonna be in the 50 shades of Gray world with Boyce Fox. So kinky things probably happen behind close doors.

When I saw the context for your beef with Watson that one meme template with the girl holding the guy pointing at the other girl immediately popped into my head and I wanted to share it so I did a quick edit of the idea

!!! HAHA! I love this, it's beautiful--it 100% accurately captures my feelings towards Mr. Snuggles. He's my precious baby boy and I'd do anything for him, kill anyone, anything.

I'm like that cringey cliche love interest in contemporary novels that are like "when he touched you, I wanted to do...violence" and you just roll their eyes at them because dude. This is contemporary. You're just some guy. you're not doing violence. stay in your genre

ty for sharing it's wonderful <3

While writing today I was thinking...so I was writing something kinky, something that I find personally quite hot and that fit with the characters and scenario.  But I hesitated because...well I imagined people objecting to it on the grounds that it would be a Bad Idea to do In Real Life. 

And specifically, it reminds me of specific criticism I’ve heard leveled at the 50 Shades books.   And like, first of all I’m not here to defends 50 Shades, for one thing it would be really hard to do since I’ve never read them or seen any of the movies.  But also I’ve always thought some of the criticism they receive is unnecessarily harsh.  (Not all of it.  Just some.)

Because to me, a lot of people seem to really be unable to approach a work of fiction, and IN PARTICULAR a work about sex without pretending it is 100% Real.  And they direct their criticism accordingly: can you imagine doing this in real life, omg you would be arrested omg perverts omg sex crime omg dirtybadwrong.  

And like people never seem to stop and consider that...fiction is fantasy.  A safe exploration of ideas that are either unfeasible or impractical to enact in the real world.  I don’t care if your fantasy is being a pirate on the high seas or getting railed behind a supermarket, they are both impractical and full of moral, ethical and legal problems. 

But people act like, yanno exploring one of these things in fantasy is fine and the other is a sign that you’re a Secret Degenerate.  That you Don’t Understand That This Would Be Wrong. 

But like, I was brought face to face with this today, writing something that I’m very aware is at the least Extremely Morally Dubious in a real world context.  But writing it anyway because it’s hot to me and what the fuck is smutty fanfic for if NOT exploring these things safely.

And I just feel like so much of Media Criticism these days, especially of the tiktok/youtube variety, though I enjoy snarking at shitty things as much as the next person, but so much of it is pearl-clutching about fiction being unrealistic.  That if this Fictional Scenario Was Real it would be bad and unhealthy and dangerous and like, it’s always about the romance tho, isn’t it.  It’s rarely about how actually you’d get gangrene from that wound without antibiotics or whatever. 

And I’m really tired of this idea that Fiction for Women is bad because the audience is Too Stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality.   And sometimes it’s about YA, and the argument is they’re too young.  Okay, fine.  But like, again, are you focusing on the bad advice about surviving in a wilderness or or you focusing on the unrealistic romances?

So yeah, I don’t know.  I think it’s important to acknowledge that fiction sometimes appeals exactly for the fact that it doesn’t follow the same rules as the real world.  That people can have something in fiction they wouldn’t want in the real world.  That, in fact, fiction is the appropriate place for that to happen. 

I don’t know, this isn’t coherent.  But I’m so tired of this argument that I see about oh people are too stupid to tell the difference between Art and Escapism and it’s all the fault of fanfiction and Dumb Media and like I think actually most people can tell the difference between indulgent media and stuff that’s supposed to be gritty realism but it’s armchair critics who equate everything to the same level of Depiction is Endorsement.  And unfortunately this has been the dominate form of internet media criticism for long enough that it’s all an entire generation has been exposed to. 

And as someone who writes indulgent smut on the regular and also has a degree in literature and psychology, like actually I’m not at all confused about the line between fiction and reality thanks.

I... I found a video from readwithcindy called "unboxing soap gate" (2018) and I've never been so dissapointed in the acotar fandom. I didn't know about the acotar sup box that happened in 2018 and apperantly there was this whole mess about the dick soap (it represents Rhys's dick 💀💀). Strangly, I'm more pissed about the fanfics and letters because it was being sold, which means someone got all the money of it. Also.. In that video cindy read a letter that is "from Azriel" to the acotar stan who bought that box and I cringed so hard. "I will fuck you soon- Azriel" BROOO 💀💀💀

Everyone can have fun and stuff and I know I shouldn't judge but.. cmon. Go to twitter and write "acotar soap dick" you'll see acotar stans warning others to not use the soap dick for your own pleasure, only to use it for bathing 😂

I have heard bits about soap dick gate. I think one of the big issues with the soap was the fact ACOTAR was marketed as YA at the time. And they sent out a dick in a box. Also, the soap had a SUCTION CUP on the end. However, the box's creator did flag the box as only suitable for those over 18 and stated that the book itself is marketed for YA despite the sex scenes. A lot of authors were not happy with fan fiction being sold in the box as it's illegal.

I think this is why SJM/Bloomsbury ensure that anybody making money off of her creation has to be officially licensed.

I have watched 2/3 of Cindy's videos where she reviews acotar and I find them so funny.

I'm like... slowly watching a Chainsaw Man reaction and getting stoned to deal with a liiitttle PTSD episode I had earlier... and realizing that like.

as a person. who is very touch starved and lonely in my own way. while Denji has like "I wanna touch a boob" which is like funny etc etc... if he was not an animated character whose age was easy to forget, because his everyman protagonist placement makes me accidentally age him up to be closer in age to me... anime is bad for me just fuckin' forgetting that people are high school students. I just mentally adjust people to be 'neutral age' instead of their actual age. Especially if they happen to work in an adult industry surrounded by other adults.

I fully like. though. can understand like. 'man... sometimes I'm curious what that kind of sexual interaction is like. I have kinda given up on being seen as sexually appealing... but I kinda crave that intimacy.' and like. a lot of really toxic relationships have been built on that foundation. and exploring it with Denji is really interesting because like. Denji and Makima are.. a relationship dynamic I've seen played out with the Teacher and Student in a lot of series that aren't supernatural adventure shows. "I've given up on being considered attractive but I crave something" and "I know I can manipulate you and can get what I want from you without you realizing it because you have no experience and no confidence" and it's really fascinating. And all of us knew it was bad from the moment it started, but it was like 'yeah but it's like... something. and that's kinda good enough.'

And like. I ain't gonna shame the folks barking, I got my fair share of nasty abusive freaks I would bark at too. My Toxic Fictional Man list is Too Fucking Long. I'm just like. Too Gay for Makima. that's the only reason I'm not right there with you. Also I have like... too many abusive toxic women in my real life, fictional toxic women just don't do it for me. but like genuinely, I get it. I understand. Good for you, I hope you enjoy the good rep for genuinely horrifying Toxic Fictional Mistresses Who Might Walk You On A Leash If You're Good. like I get that want for fictional characters who make you both scared and horny for the subs out there. it's hard to get a good Evil Dominant who isn't just Tsundere or Yandere. The Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss is immaculate and like, congratulations on your full sexual awakening.

But practice safe kink IRL. to bring it maybe back around I guess. it's important to know like. when you can tolerate and survive being alone better than being with someone toxic, and that like. it's one thing to do a sexy roleplay of that stuff, but like there has to be a place where is stops 'cause it can wear down your self worth. Practice safe boundaries in kink. it's important even it maybe it's kinda boring. But it can mean you can do more exciting stuff. You *can* be someone's dog, if you also know you are important and valuable and a person with the right to say no in situations that you don't like. Live your fucking best life with communication, boundaries and safe kink. idk.

Definitely a challenge balancing not stretching in a way that harms healing but also not t-rexing myself into drastic loss of range of motion.

I want to be cautious and careful to ensure I don't stiffen up dangerously but I don't want to re-open anything...
