There's scenes in books and fics that I just adore for this reason. Actually, in film too. Any of y'all watched sense8? Yeah, that shit slaps. Possibly the best way I've seen sex and intimacy used to explore and develop characters. Not just their own perceptions, but how do the characters connect with each other? How does this baseline of humanity intersect with their sexuality? The fact that they use sex in a way that doesn't always feel overtly sexual, but just as a metaphor for pleasure, freedom, and connection, if that makes any sense. Man.
yeah bro it's a character study. the 2 thousand words of blowjob is vital to the study of the character
Guys, I miss my little brother actually. It sucks not being in school anymore cause it means I don't get to see my friends every day, and it's worse when it's the kid you baaaaasically adopted as your kid brother because like... I used to be there all the time as a support and stuff and now I just hst to sit here and check in from afar and hope that things are going OK in the in between times. Anyway, I miss that kid, I miss my friends.
I have a folder called Time is a Flat Circle in which I collect evidence of humanity. Here is most of them.
Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
Little spoon so I can feel the rising of their chest in my back as I rest and feel the consistent stream of their breath behind my ear
Pinning their wrists together with my hand so I can check their pulse with my thumb while fucking them
Missionary so I can press my ear against their chest and listen to their heart beat while they're fucking me
Sucking hickeys into their throat so I can feel the flow of blood pumping into the carotid artery under my lips
Age regressor Damian Wayne my beloved <33
(You can pry this idea from my cold dead hands. And even then I'll pull a jason and come back to life just so I can snatch it back)

reading dc comics has turned me into a hater in ways that no other comics made me a hater.
and to clarify, i do not hate the characters. they are good, Nice even. they are very Complex.
on the other hand, the storyline of some of these comic runs has made me feel like i have lost braincells and when i shoved it back to my head, it was no longer a cell made for brains.
One way to prepare for the second Trump era is to organize a screening of "Fell in Love with Fire," a feature-length documentary about the popular uprising that swept Chile in 2019.
It explores how demonstrators took control of the streets while remaining leaderless.
