Don't prod the beach rubble.

I think my thing about about kink in fandom or whatever is that I'm actually pretty vanilla in my own real life preferences, and usually not even that wild in my fic preferences if we're being honest. but I am thrilled when I find out about some unusual or specific thing people get off to (or even just find compelling), including things that would be fucked up in another context. I don't know how to explain this, but it's... reassuring? moving, maybe? to me that human brains have such an expansive capacity for such varied forms of pleasure. like when I learned about hrpf winner's room fics I was purely delighted. it's not even a trope I've sought out since learning about it, but I was looking at that fanlore page like shane beaming at ilya in that fuckass las vegas bathroom. I just can't get myself to have have any bad feelings about how insanely dark that concept is because I'm too dazzled by the layers of emotion and possibility involved
