    I mean, the ancient Sumerians would regularly pray "make love to me like twelve goats" in potency incantations.

    that they are very indiscriminate about which dicks they suck and some of those dicks were supposed to be unsuckable but they were like, "fuck that! there is no dick i won't suck!"?

    that's my guess, anyway, based on the stereotype or whatever of goats eating literally everything

    They were baaaa'd at it? They were really horny? They were chewing on a tin can at the same time? I have so many questions.

    The same guy who had that one also had a character order another to "suck it like you're sick and my dick has medicine in it". I think if someone said that to me and I wasn't sick, I would be afterwards.

    And having to be bribed with mints to do so, if it's anything like the awful fake-lemon medicine I had to take as a child.

    I've ventured out into Persona fanfic for the first time, and while I found some of the best fic I've read in a while, boy did I also observe some shit.

    - marketing your writing as bad in tags (I'm not your best friend, it won't make me want to read it to comment and say it's not, it will make me skip it)
    - marketing a character as OOC in your fic (if you're aware of it, go FIX it)
    - not capitalizing your summary
    - using twitter speak (no capitalization, no punctuation, no nothing) in in-universe chatlogs/text messages

    You'd have to sweeten it somehow. After all, a spoonful of sugar helps the medickine go down.

    I'm pretty sure that's someone's fetish.

    yeah, aside from the pain and discomfort, another reason not to have PIV sex when the V-haver has a yeast infection is that it's totally possible to transmit the infection to the P-haver.

    esotericPrognosticator still really excited about kobolds tbqh

    is this OOC? 'cause otherwise, like. well, I don't know anything about Persona, but people do text like that. I'm just guessing that the people who are in the fics oughtn't to be? or is it a matter of readability or something?

    It is, actually - even a computer whiz/hacker character who spends most of her time online types with good punctuation and capitalization in the English localization.

    Some of them have quirks to the tone of somethin' instead of something, but they don't use twitter speak. The fic in question also had incredibly cringy group chat nicknames that was something fandom would come up with in shitposts, not the characters themselves.

    I am a Homestuck, so it's not like I can't read badly punctuated/badly written text, but in Homestuck there was point to the quirks - Dave's dialogue with capitalization would look weird, for the example. The way everyone typed was a part of, and reflected their character. But when I read a fic in a different fandom, it can break my immersion, since I feel like I'm reading twitter shitposts instead of a story.

    I guess this is on me for dipping into Naruto fic but if I never read 'pinkette' or 'sweatdropped' again I'll be a happy woman.

    It's been so long since I was subjected to these hair color derived... monstrosities that I read pinkette as pink kettle

    Jean Let’s stop procrastinating -- tomorrow!

    Picture, if you will, a sweet, unoffensive oneshot about character A coming out as nonbinary to their boyfriend, character B, who is very accepting.

    Now, this is why I shouldn't read the comments: among all the "wow, nonbinary character A! thanks so much for the representation!" and "this was so cute!", there was a long thread of some douche on anon replying to themself as they thought of more things to say, all on the topic of "how dare you depict a canonically gay man involved in a relationship with a nb! character B should have broken up with them as soon as they found out they weren't a guy! it's so homophobic to write a gay man dating anyone who isn't male!" and so on and so on. And the name they gave for the review wasn't, like, "guest" or something, it was "yikes!!" And I just. -_-

    That really rubbed me the wrong way.

    YOI Badfic Friend's difficult life update: there was a cracktastic stage drama where someone got possessed by a squid demon. Apparently ever since, YOI fandom has been wall-to-wall tentacles.
