    I mean a kegal is exactly what you're doing if you're consciously clenching down on something inserted vaginally, but for the love of God, don't describe it like that. It's porn, not a gynecological exam ffs.

    Focus on an obscure pairing; fine. Using that pairing to bash the canon pairing which doesn't involve either of the obscure pairing in any way; not fine.

    It is, and I just think having zombies in one's brain doesn't sound good.

    Can people stop slut-shaming Elizabeth Swann? She loves Will, she wasn't into Norrington at all, she had some flirtatious interactions with Jack and turned him down, and who the hell else is there?

    Well, "vague" is misspelled as "vauge," so that kinda pulled me out of that simile...

    While it wasn't a fanfic, you may also be amused by the teenager's short story which got riffed on "It Came from English 101" in which he kept making disturbing similes. "The words were stuck in my throat like refuse in a backed-up drain" and "My emotions spilled out onto the paper like blood from a punctured artery".

    i don't know if the author of this story was trying to write lavernius tucker as completely emotionally tone deaf (and i think i can kinda see why he would be, considering how he responded to the reveal about temple) but omfg

    if they weren't aiming for a tucker like that, they dun fucked up

    if they were, well... good job mission accomplished

    Why the fuck is this fic tagged consensual somnophilia when the first, like, twelve paragraphs consist of character A thinking about how character B doesn't know what he's doing to him, and how careful he has to be not to get caught, etc etc. It makes it pretty explicitly clear that character B never consented to this, so how is this not rape?

    honestly im more lenient towards spoken humanstuck dialogue having quirks than i am for texts/written stuff having quirks (especially for the accent-y quirks like captors & amporas)

    cuz if some random fucker started typing in full leetspeak at you outta nowhere youd think they were nuts

    Also noticed a lot of people who have broken keyboards will just make up a quirk to get around it. Which I think is neat!

    @furrylatula I see your helpful meme and raise you a nerdy Photoshop that's applicable to like everything

    And on topic

    forever salty at the fic I read that had one of the more helpful/chaotic good type canon characters ARRANGE FOR THE FIC'S PROTAGONIST AND ANOTHER CHARACTER TO BE GANG RAPED to???? Somehow trick the protagonist into thinking an organization that the CG character opposes was responsible????? Like jesus Christ yeah he's a sneaky spy rogue type but come on. And the later the character holds a child hostage to get the protagonist to do something and then HAS THE KID SHOT DEAD for fucksake, am I supposed to buy the canonly-against-murder-of-nonhostiles-and-approves-of-'nice'-actions guy would do that just because the protagonist and kid are part of Opposing Organization (and the fic writer claims this is exploring what CG characters organization would plan to do if they figured out that protag's organization was coming to destroy them ????) UGH

    i feel more lenient these days towards using quirks in dialogue (humanstuck or no) given that 1) even when they moved from text chat (pesterchum) to dialog(logs) in canon, the quirks were preserved, and also 2) my human sans and papyrus speak in all lowercase and CAPS respectively
