Full of Love and Rage and Caffeine

We all know about Chuck Tingle, right? At this point we’ve all seen Space Raptor Butt Invasion and Bigfoot Sommelier Butt Tasting. But did you know that the bigfoots and dinosaurs are NOT random - they are a parody of a real genre of monster erotica that no longer exists because it was cracked down on by Amazon. The space raptor butt invasion is real. T. Rexes are only the beginning. Some titles I’ve found off google right now:

Cum for Bigfoot

The Horny Night Gaunt

The Horny Minotaur

The Claiming of Angelica, the Supernatural Sleuth: Her Erotic Adventures in the Haunted House on the Hill (The Sexual Misadventures of Angelica, the Surprisingly Submissive Supernatural Sleuth, #2)

Cum for the Phantom

Bred by the Tree Man

The Horny Leprechaun [sensing a pattern here]

Gator Got Her

I Fucked the Swamp Creature (Monster Sex #1)

The Horny Leprechaun 2

They have titles that are often more silly than sexy — from "Demons Love Ass," part of Trisha Danes' "Beasts & Booty" collection, to "Frankenstein's Bitch" and "Sex With My Husband's Anatomically Correct Robot" — and the plots are never less than imaginative. A feline shapeshifter might be saved from a tree by a firefighter with a cat fetish (as in the ebook "Out on a Limb"), or a buxom cattle rancher might be abducted and kept enslaved "in a strange, perverted alien zoo" ("Milked by the Aliens"). […] In October, the online news site The Kernel published an incendiary story called "An Epidemic of Filth," claiming that online bookstores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, WHSmith, and others were selling self-published ebooks that featured "rape fantasies, incest porn and graphic descriptions of bestiality and child abuse." The story ignited a media firestorm in the U.K, with major news outlets like the Daily Mail, The Guardian, and the BBC reporting on the “sales of sick ebooks.” […] It wasn’t just Bigfoot who was herded into extinction. Wade says that 60% of her titles disappeared from Amazon and other online bookstores. "They started sending my books randomly back to draft mode" — where new ebooks are uploaded and edited before going on sale — "and I'd get an email from them saying, 'We found the following books in violation of our content guidelines,'” she recalls. “But they wouldn't tell me why. There were no specifics. It was a huge guessing game trying to figure out what the issue was." […] "Writing monster erotica has become a hostile work environment," she says. "I'm tired of the BS. It's just easier to write in a different genre and avoid the scrutiny."

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

I was rewatching the HR (my second ever watch) and was a little surprised (maybe I shouldn't have been lol) about how active and well, dominant, Shane in most of the sex scenes. I don't mean in a d/s way, but physically, Shane is often pulling Ilya in for kisses, actively moving his body to get a better angles when he's getting railed, gesturing at Ilya's limbs to get better access to him. Shane is the one getting penetrated and very obviously likes sucking dick, but this second look at the show has shifted my understanding of what type of sex he likes to have.

Basically, I think Shane likes to be penetrated and to be the recipient in anal sex. But I don't think he necessarily wants to be dominated even a fun sex kinky way. At least not all the time.

Don't mind at all, even more explicit answer if you're up for it anon

But yeah no Shane is the driver in a majority of their sex imo. Especially in TLG where he's the one instigating a lot of the time (butt plug drive you will always be famous) and chasing his pleasure. He's a bottom, but hot take: he's not really a sub. At least not exclusively.

This is my whole thing where I'm like ok with BDSM you've got bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sado/masochism.

I think Shane likes bondage and discipline, I think Shane likes light sado/machosim (mostly teasing and humiliation kinks, maybe bruise play, but not like whipping or anything hardcore). But I don't see all that much dominance and submission. There's a few scenes? The closest is the trophy room scene in TLG where Ilya orders Shane to stay still while he goes off to get lube. There's also the edging in the taxicab one where Ilya orders Shane not to come.

And I do think Shane likes that stuff, he says himself to Rose:

But I think with Shane I think everything comes back to the fact that he's an athlete who likes pushing his body to the limits. He wants to see what he's capable of sexually as much as anywhere else. I think a lot of his enjoyment of bottoming is connected to this too---it's very physically demanding, and there's an aspect of endurance and pushing your body quite literally to and past limits. I think Shane finds penetration like mind-meltingly hot because, as he thinks the first time Ilya comes in him, it's his body making that happen.

As for the dominance stuff, I think Shane likes the edging or bondage games with Ilya because they're like drills on the ice. I think it's more about Shane wanting to push himself to see what he can do than it is about Shane wanting someone to dominate him and give him orders. That can be fun sometimes, but most of the time I think Shane is driven by sensation seeking, and he likes the physicality of sex.

But for instance I think Shane is tying Ilya up to ride him at least as often as Ilya's ordering Shane around and edging him.

Do you know how many people would've died on both sides during an attempted invasion of the Japanese home islands?

Millions.

Do you know how many Japanese civilians committed suicide en masse in fear of American occupation?

It was 1000 just for the Battle of Saipan¹. 1 0 0 0. Not 1000 civilians that died as unfortunate collateral damage. 1000 civilians that killed themselves because they were convinced by Japanese propaganda that they'd be raped and tortured and mutilated if the US captured them alive. Hundreds of civilians threw themselves off a cliff.

Nuclear bombs are awful and horrible and never should've been invented, much less dropped. But the US military's estimated casuality number from invading the home islands was millions. That's only for the US military. Add in the Japanese military and civilians, and you get millions more. ²,³

Conversely, the high end estimate for both bombs is less than a quarter million.⁴,⁵ That includes the deaths from the effects of radiation, including cancer, decades later.

The trolley problem is a running joke on this website. But this was the trolley problem, and it wasn't a joke.

(Also, the estimated number of dead from the Holocaust for just Jews is 6,000,000.⁶ So, um. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not on footing with it. Not at all. But the land invasion of Japan would've been.)

transmedicalist statements:

being trans is a medical disorder

being trans needs to be diagnosed by a doctor or psychiatrist

not everyone who disagrees with their assignment is really trans, and the fakers make the true transsexuals look bad

you can "fully" transition and then you're not trans anymore. trans only refers to the medical transitioning process. if you find out you are not trans, you can detransition back. the goal is to not be trans, and transition is a middle stage to get through as quickly and privately as possible.

"male" and "female" are real, biological realities and anyone who says they are not one or the other is lying or delusional

not transmedicalist statements:

a lot of trans people need and/or desire access to surgical and/or hormonal healthcare options which are currently restricted on the basis of sex assignment at birth

when healthcare access is denied due to a patient's diagnosis of "gender dysphoria," that denial is specifically targeting trans people for being trans (even though not all trans people have that diagnosis)

sometimes trans people assume they do not want transition care because they have internalized transphobic propaganda about what it is, how it works, and how accessible it is for them. giving them information about it can help them make a more educated choice about what they want.
