i really like your writing advice, especially around repression and emotions!💗 do you have any tips for writing sexy stuff?🫠

YAY I'm glad you liked it😊 I'm putting the whole thing under a cut this time because uhhh because I feel like it.

Firstly, writing smut is really really difficult (for me, at least), and what's considered "good" is so sooo subjective--the exact same sentence could be hot to one person and completely cringe to another. There's really no way to make everyone happy, and there's "right" or "wrong" way to write, so just have fun and do what feels right to you!

Second, I think what I said here about emotions and repression also applies to writing about sex--to me, describing what a particular sensation feels like or how someone's body reacts to something makes the story feel more immersive.

Here are some other things I've found helpful:

1. Trying to avoid overly-clinical terms for body parts. I don't want people to feel like they're reading somebody's gynecological health chart instead of smut (that might kill me. actually.) so I don't go for words like "vagina" or god forbid "mons pubis." Personally it's really easy for me to think of words I don't like, and a lot harder to find words I do like, so at this point I just try to get away with not actually giving the genitalia a name at all--I just describe them. Not sure how effective this is, or if people like it, but I'm doing it anyway🤷‍♀️

2. Remembering that it's about the entire body, not just what's going on between the legs. Skin gets extra sensitive, people get flushed, they sweat, their heartbeats accelerate. Adding little details like that make sex scenes both more realistic AND hotter, at least in my opinion. Like I said, everything is subjective, and opinions vary wildly!

3. Keeping track of where the limbs are at all times!! It's really easy to get carried away and accidentally give characters extra hands or make them bend in ways that aren't possible for the majority of humans. I usually pick through sex scenes with a fine-tooth comb several times to catch any stray legs and fingers, and have been known to pace around making various obscene hand gestures until I'm confident that the logistics make sense. Don't worry about it👀

4. Remembering that unless they're total strangers just hooking up for fun, there's going to be some sort of emotion involved. Maybe the characters love each other, maybe they hate each other, maybe they hate themselves, maybe one of them has unrequited feelings and it's tearing them up inside. I think that describing the emotional aspect of sex goes a long way in making things feel realistic without subtracting from the Hotness Factor.

I hope this helps!! And remember that I don't really know anything about anything, I am but a mite living on a grain of sand floating through the big dark universe, so you don't have to listen to me. Also you're the only one who gets to decide if your writing is good💖

Wow I just caught up on the "culturally christian" "discourse" due to being the type of jew who is allergic to being Part Of Jumblr and uh

Confused

I would be more than willing to have some good faith discussions w non-Jewish atheists about their feelings about the imprecise use of this term; with people who have Christianity Trauma who politely request to not be Called Christians even if that is part of their cultural background or upbringing (I am happy to not do this & always try to say ppl from culturally christian backgrounds because like... identity and Christianity are complex and I know and love a lot of people who have been horribly hurt by Christianity and I don't think it is productive or kind to insist to those people that they be aligned in some way identitywise with the institutions that have hurt them! As a jew I understand trauma very well and a lot of interacting with people and groups who have a lot of trauma is meeting them where they are, imo. I think it's important to do that.

But (you knew the but was coming)

I am UTTERLY BEWILDERED that even the people who are on the side of "this term is useless and you are stupid for using it" who seem to have like, interesting philosophical perspectives and mostly seem to not be engaged in outright antisemitism themselves ARE NEVERTHELESS happily rubbing shoulders w people who call jews and anyone who believes in anything "unscientific" 'fairytale cultists' and who happily assert that the very act of believing stuff that cannot be Obejctively Proven is like, oppressive and harmful

And if ppl are on your post saying antisemitic things and you do not block them or go "hey whoa uhhh let's not do that" then I don't trust you!

And like also

A lot of the jews participating in this discussion are getting violent anons calling them kikes and saying they should die in horrible ways!

WOW. THIS IS WILD AND UM. KIND OF DEEPLY ALARMING. TO ME. HI. WHAT THE FUCK.

#i just had to unfollow and block like... Several People #am feeling DEEPLY YIKES rn #also. confused by the number of ppl who seem to think culture isnt a thing. #also ALSO aalrmed to see ppl saying things like 'ethnoreligion is not meaningfully distinct from other types of religion (and religion bad) #...to jews #destruction of minority religious/spirutual/cultural things is a crucial first step. in genocide? like #do you ever step ONE STEP outside your bubble and find leftists who are so... #wow. i thought we were all on the same page that some things are Just Bad but I GUESS NOT. COOL #jewish #anyway if you think The Jews are bullying people or think people using the term RELIGIOUS NATIONALISTS to describe #atheists from minority religious backgrounds who are proud of and partipate in their community culture #um. please get off my blog. thanks

It is weird to be in the Mishafucker community when everyone is like “I want dark Harvey to do things to me” meanwhile I am like “he looks so pretty when he’s being strangled by himself” there is definitely something deeply wrong with me

#tmi? sorry guys #minors dni #everyone who's like Val wtf are you posting please look away I am having a crisis over this #when ppl are the same as you (finding Misha attractive) but also don't (finding him attractive in a different way) #please don't unfollow me for this dskdfkdsdf #anyways. he looked so pretty when he was on the table

would any of you prefer that i tag content with nsfw language? like, #sex mention, or something? i'm desensitized to it but i realize that seeing dirty words on your dash without warning can feel like a jumpscare for some.

#for anyone sex-repulsed/disinterested #also i only recently added the 18+ to my blog description so if you're a minor just keep that to yourself or unfollow me please

oh good another fandom that has chosen a common noun for their ship contraction

reminder that it's fandom etiquette to create a nonexistent term from combining the names of the ship: not just to make it easier to search for, but also to make it easier to exclude from searches

making your ship have a real word for a term just really is bad fandom hygiene

something like glimmbow is way better than glow. something like stellch would be better than starch

i am not the fandom police, but i am absolutely a Fandom Old who remembers when this wasn't just preferred behavior but it was actually required to follow certain standardization rules for ship terminology, and i am definitely of the preference that my search functions actually work like intended...

#pen caps #cap the pen #the primary reason for a specific ship term to not be a real word used to be to avoid injecting it into non-fandom spaces #and it used to be necessary to ensure the livelihood of that space #slash and femslash in particular used to get burned to the ground #and god forbid you were Into Something... #if a Normie found your stuff when they weren't looking for it You Were Doomed #if a minor searches 'glow' they shouldn't be finding your yaoi anyway #and before you ask: i actively had to unfollow the glow tag bc of people posting fandom in it #and yes i saw multiple people putting mature fandom content in that tag too #which. mature content is an entirely different conversation. but hoo boy don't put common word tags on your smut please I'm begging you
