#vera rants

ok i have a LOT to say lemmie rant:

not to be dramatic but the amount of virgin energy in this fandom could power the entire east coast during a blackout.

no because I’ve thought the exact same thing. but frl it’s kinda expected. a lot of people in fandoms are younger or just haven’t had those experiences yet, and that’s fine we all start somewhere.

It’s just funny when you’re reading a fic and suddenly the guy’s dick is “throbbing with desire” after holding hands like okay shakespeare relax.

the anatomy alone gives it away. “He kissed down her spine to her bellybutton” BABBYYY that’s not how bodies work 😭 one time I read a line that said “his abs clenched with lust” and I had to walk around the room like a victorian man recovering from the war.

but honestly? I kind of love it. like YES baee, you’ve never seen a dick in real life but you’re describing it as a “velvet steel rod” with the confidence of a 45 year old romance novelist on her third divorce.

I’m not even dragging virgins in general. I’m specifically talking about the 2022 wattpad fandom yes, the era that got dragged so bad they became recurring characters in car videos 💀 like y’all had chris reading sum corny freak shi out loud like that was a normal sentence. Be serious.

But fast forward to now?? Y’all disappeared for like 6 months and came back writing cinematic universes. Plot? Character development?? Proper smut anatomy??? When did y’all go study abroad at the academy of fanfic arts and sciences???

It’s actually suspicious. There’s no way the same people who once wrote “she moaned as he touched her elbow” are now casually dropping 20k word masterpieces that make me cry AND blush. The evolution was too fast. I think we witnessed a collective spiritual awakening.

Apparently touching a male friend when you are perceived as female, in any way, is viewed as flirting? I was joking and would gently shove my friends. A teacher told me I was flirting with him, I said no and the teacher disagreed. So like I learned not to really be more open with affection, which was something I already really really struggled with.

It literally took me 10 years to be okay with friends hugging me, even though I longed for hugs. I saw how close friends would be and wanted that, but also like if I did that with a boy I was flirting or dating him, if I did that with a girl I was gay. At the time I didn’t want to be called gay even more than I already was. So I refrained from touching people. I used to play with my friends’ hair, a teacher told me not to cause hair was dirty so I stopped that.

I have no idea what this turned into but like don’t tell people to not show affection in a way they might. It might be the only way they feel comfortable showing affection. To this day there are three people I will hug unprompted, and one of them is conditional and I feel completely awful about that one.
