Padme, Leia, and Luke are all lions. Han is a coyote, Chewie a bear. Anakin and Kylo are both some kinda domestic ungulate. Finn, Phasma, and Hux are all dogs, a boxer a pitbull and a doberman. Poe is some kinda bird. Garnet seems like a big old herbivore to me. An elephant or wildebeest or bison.
someone earlier said dragon age prequel anthros? and my mind went to some of the main series characters...not saying that solas is a hairless cat BUT he would be, imho... and i can imagine sera as a gerbil for some reason, and zev as a fox...? also: consider loghain the water buffalo
I kinda feel bad or maybe like my standards are just too high, but I keep backing out of fic where everything is sound from a technical standpoint (grammar, spelling, punctuation, premise, characters, pairing, etc) but the prose is just... Stiff. Formulaic and awkward. Like they're writing fic with a how to manual in one hand.
Unrelated gripe: I think fic writers have collectively forgotten that daddy dom is a very specific kink and one character calling the other "daddy" during sex is not standard to dirty talk ffs.
God, I feel it. Usually I can get past it if it's like, got a premise I like or is focused on a ship of mine and characterized well, but...not always. I don't blame you for having issues with that!
The massive, crushing disappointment of reading het fic. Especially OLD het fic. Why??? are the characters always shitty stereotypes and not their original characterization??? Why is sucking on a guy's fingers apparently the easiest way to give him a boner?????????????? Does the author have a penis or just absolutely no understanding of the physical characteristics of the organs attached to them?????????????????????????? also now I'm hyperaware that I use at minimum two types of emphasis font per 200 words of text in my posts here and lol I am so sorry
this is probably not something you want an actual answer to BUT Spoiler: nsfw??? probably too much detail. fingers have a shit load of nerve endings, this coupled with the... let's call it phallic appearence suggesting other things that could be sucked on in a similar ways + circumstances that have led to the finger sucking (*) generally are a shortcut to boner city! I don't dispute it can be goofy as heck and kinda weird but in the right situation there's weirder things that could cause penis-havers boners lbr. (*): feeding someone, gettin' yer mouth fingerfucked, whatever the fuck else one might do with fingers on someone else's face in a sexy context, look there's probably a lot. someone else having their fingers on someone's face is vulnerable and that kinda trust usually only happens in situations that involve a lot of intimacy. Fingers and hands are also sensitive and delicate and having those near someone's teeth is also a trust thing. Intimacy and trust are very common turn ons :P
my guess is that "daddy" being a meme/part of several memes on tumblr is what caused that to happen. normalized it so people that learn stuff about sex mostly from tumblr now think that it's something that everyone calls everyone in sex. i don't know how this jibes with dd/lg being so stigmatized on tumblr, though. maybe they think calling someone daddy during sex is okay and normal, but basing an entire fantasy on it isn't. (that's me imagining what's going on their little brains, not me saying that dd/lg is wrong. not kinkshaming, just speculating.) i dunno. tumblr is just bizarre. daddy on know your meme
My impression is more that the anti-CG/L crusaders and the people suddenly writing daddy kink everywhere are just different groups of people. Both young people on tumblr in most cases, but I think it's less that the same people with cinnamonroll-against-ddlg blogs are throwing daddy kink into their fic as that both groups are seeing the same trend, and one responds by going "hey actually I'm into that for real tho" and the other by deciding their annoyance and squick with the kink means it's a serious moral and social issue.
Tfw you read a fic that is obviously supposed to be fluffy and cute, but it's actually kinda horrifying Spoiler: It's Daredevil fic, so Catholicism ahead Despite his vow of abstinence, college student Matt is very horny for his roommate Foggy. But he can't jerk off, because that would be Wrong. Since this is fic, he and Foggy end up making out, and Foggy proposes to Matt mid-Matt's-orgasm. And this is taken 100% seriously in-narrative, they're totally going to get married after they both finish law school and pass the bar, and now they can have fluffy and Ethical sex because having your fiance jerk you off is okay (while jerking yourself off is a sin). And maybe it's just my distrust of religious sex rules, but this is??? really creepy??? Like, the idea that you Have To be engaged/married to your college boyfriend so that having sex is okay is horrifying to me, and it's just...presented without comment/tacitly endorsed by the narrative.
I've actually seen "who's your daddy?" used a lot even in non-fanfic stuff, with it not being treated as a kink thing beyond general dirty talk? Which is really weird and confusing to me, but my understanding is that it miiiiiiiiight be more of a mainstream thing than one would think?
Yeah, fully agreed! It depends, I think, on how comedic the rest of the fic is? I doubt it'd work for straight-up PWP or darker porn, but I can see it being funny in a less-serious smut fic.
Spoiler: nsfw ... I don't care what boundaries people choose to enforce for themselves, religious or otherwise, but proposing mid-orgasm so your orgasm is allowed?? Like, I'm trying to not take this more seriously than a shipfic excuse plot merits, but that premise still horrifies me. Don't commit to marrying someone just so you can have guilt-free sex with them. Please. D:
I didn't start seeing the "daddy" thing that regularly in porn until after the anti-cg/l thing blew up on Tumblr. My impression was mostly that a sudden trend in people screaming "DON'T DO THE THING!!!" led to a corresponding boom in people wanting to do the thing.
"who's your daddy" and other "daddy"-related sex talk (which is possibly related to the term "sugar daddy"? but that's just a guess) has been around since i've been aware of porn, so... at least since the '90s. edit: see the chorus of the 1998 hit "Back That Azz Up"
Amethyst is not going to commit to one fursona. (I relate to this. Thylacine is my favourite animal, but servals and wolves and dragons oh my!) She's been multiple animals in canon. Pearl is a pelican, both because of her stances and the legend that they will tear out their own hearts to protect and serve what they love. Lapis is a swan.
