love’s labour’s lost

ok there’s been enough reblogs from enough people on enough various posts of mine that now i need to stand up for the bitches who don’t fuck of the world. people aren’t writing bad smut because of a lack of having sex. they are writing it because a lot of people have very poor visualization skills and forget halfway through what position characters are supposed to be in, or don’t understand what makes a word a good or bad choice, or can’t create compelling dynamics. i promise that even the sexually inactive, by virtue of also existing within the human form, would know that if you’re behind someone you can’t lick their nipple. and i promise that the frequently sexually active are equally prone to using the word “mewled.” i can pretty much guarantee that having a lot of sex and writing good sex scenes are unrelated. do you think your favorite horror authors are cutting people up in their basements. do you think your favorite food critics are michelin chefs. do you think the people blocking cool combat scenes in movies are routinely getting into cage fights. no they just understand how to utilize tone, pacing, momentum, and the tools of film direction, while keeping action tied to character. like believe it or not this is simply a skill like everything else. idk i always think that that point of view shows a lack of understanding of what makes a sex scene work. it removes the craft of it in a way i find short-sighted. i think people are confused about the reason teenagers are writing bad sex scenes. it’s not because they’re not fucking, it’s because they are young and haven’t had the years to hone their writing craft the way someone older has.

please write your erotica with care i cant get off without several hundred words of sociological analysis

my god you people are so boring this isnt about making characters talk about their trauma this is about UNEXAMINED GENDER POLITICS in CROSSDRESSING PORN. for the characters themselves sex should be - and write this down - physically and/or psychologically damaging to all those participating. jesus christ.

every farming game i've ever played had an npc family with an unromanceable wife, where's the game that'll let me break up that marriage and then have strained interactions with her ex husband in our cozy village with a population of 12

did you guys know that imagining something = as good as having it

it's actually better than having it because you dont have to have it

TRUE.

Stardew valley is problematic because it forces you to have an outside cat in a threatened woodland environment

every time i get upset about tennis i’m like this is all roger federer’s fault because if he had just retired in a NORMAL WAY instead of in a gayass doubles match with his dearest old rival i would never have gotten back into it i wouldn’t BE here i would be HAPPY i would be AT PEACE

if i were roger federer i would’ve thought about having crazy sex with my crazy intense tennis rival rafael nadal at least once a month

to me the performativeness of fedal is half the appeal because my favorite aspect of rpf is about thinking about public vs private relationships
