some electric holy yearning

You need to kill the lawyer in your brain that keeps insisting that your blorbo has to be an Ethical Dom Top™. You need to stop your knee jerk desire to pathologize and explain away a character's sexual desire to dominate as a symptom of their mental illness or abusive childhood. You need to stop thinking of a desire to dominate as inherently less intimate than other sex acts. You need to stop framing dominance as something to be fixed or that will eventually change with the right partner. You need to stop twisting a Dom's role in the bedroom into one that is secretly subservient because they're 'actually' beholden to their sub's desires - "My Dom doesn't WANT to dominate, he just wants to fulfill his sub's desire to BE dominated. When you look at it that way, they're actually the submissive one!!" - STOP!!! STOP DOING THAT!!!!

do u want to share a gummy worm and when we get to the end of it we start making out? yes or no

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

at that, i find it disingenuous to frame it as “if the person hurt you they could not have loved you. that is not love.” just not a productive definition of the word to me

Love a character who is neither trustworthy nor untrustworthy but another secret third thing.

Guy who can be relied upon to make the right choice 98% of the time but God that 2% is a fucking doozy.
