#those sex scenes

[demeterdefence]

i have a lot of bones to pick this chapter and i will get to that but i'm still really pressed by how rachel depicts kronos apparently grieving having to kill hera in her vision

rachel does this really gross thing where at some point in the narrative, she'll have the male abuser depict some kind of sadness in regards to his female victim, but it is not remorse. it really reads like whitewashing the abuse itself because "can't you see how upset the abuser is that he has to do this :("

apollo got that really disgusting pov chapter talking about his perspective on persephone after raping her and that was bad enough, but then you also see kronos and his relationship with hera being sanitized or even shipped, when hera said verbatim that he abused her and she did not want to sleep with him, she had hoped she could just charm him. the narrative explicitly points out that kronos is a chronic abuser - he kills or severely injures rhea in a fit of rage after using all her powers, he frequently drives away any nymph or consort who approaches him, and he spends who knows how long mentally torturing hera.

there's another essay tucked into that but i just find it so fucking egregious that rachel wants to portray kronos as being upset he has to kill hera because of his own feelings for her, when the fact of the matter is he is choosing to kill her, just like he chose to kill rhea, and swallow his sons, and tear hera in half. depicting an abuser (a serial abuser, in this case) as being upset over an action he's choosing to do for his own benefit is ... a choice, and a disturbing one. why are we centering the abuser in a sympathetic light when he is still ultimately abusing someone???

#anti lo #anti lore olympus #abuse ment / #just to be safe #it just strikes me as so ... backwards isn't strong enough it really disturbs me #esp considering the random ass sex scene in the next chapter and THOSE implications #but lo constantly just ... focuses time and energy on the male perpetuators of violence #and not on like ... their female victims lol #and if focus IS given to them it's handwaved away #demeter being tricked into having sex with zeus??? her frequent abuse from hades? nada #also hera saying ''i love you'' to a monster who is capable of killing her and everyone she loves #whom she is sleeping with in order to stop him from destroying everything #and people saying ''yeah that's a ship right there'' #nothing in this rant is coherent these tags are a mess lmao

#chapter 197 #this is just one of those scenes that rotates in my brain constantly #blowing smoke is like a known invitation for sex too so its like BROOO USE YOUR WORDS ITS NOT TOO LATE #xxxholic #its so funny cause watanuki is soooooo #like theyre both being consumed w gay thoughts here #but #USE YOUR FUCKING WORDS WATANUKI. GOD #hes the type of person that thinks if he gives sad noncommittally seductive eye contact he wont have to talk about his feelings #the way he looks like hes mad doumeki didnt get the hint is hilarious given that this is usually doumekis problem #i think he gets it honey hes just burned out and thinks shit will never happen #and if you keep dawdling in your depression this way he never will!!!

List of “I love you being met with a response which makes you regret letting those three words slip out of your mouth” prompts 

“…I’m sorry.” 

“You know, maybe this is all in your imagination?”

“I think you’re getting it really wrong here.” 

“That’s… Cool. Um, look, I’ve gotta go. I’ll talk to you later, okay?” 

“You don’t love me. Stop lying to yourself.” 

“Your jokes are really starting to take a nose-dive.”

“…Did I give you the wrong impression?” 

“You don’t even know me that well so how can you love me?”

“See, that’s where I know you’re lying, because I’m incapable of being loved.”

“You’re actually delusional, aren’t you?” 

“No, you don’t. Please tell me you don’t.”

“So… Is there a punchline to this?” 

“Funny joke you have there. Wait. It’s not a joke?”

“Don’t you fucking dare say that, right after I’ve just moved on from you. How fucking— wow.” 

“Bullshit. That’s bullshit and you know it.”

Gonna let you all know than we I say normalize queer sex and intimacy on media I don’t mean people are free to fetishize it. I don’t mean all queer media has to include sexual content. I don’t mean than for a queer character to be seen as queer they have to have intimacy. I don’t mean fetishized content. I don’t mean fetishized content. I don’t mean fetishized content. I don’t mean fetishized content. I don’t mean

#this is mostly about the upcoming rwrb movie but it’s also about everything #yes Alex and Henry have sex yes Alex and Henry are intimate with each other #no the target audience of this scenes are not cishet women #no they are not the main point of the movie #yes Alex and Henry are just a couple like any other #no you should NOT focus on how ‘spicy’ the movie will be and how ‘hot’ those scenes will be #remember that #but also in general #rwrb #casey mcquiston #red white and royal blue #firstprince #red white & royal blue #rwrb movie #lgbt media #queer media #lgbt movies #queer movies

So, first off, this is not an attempt to kink shame (dubcon and noncon are great!) but I do keep seeing a thing in fics (I do NOT see this irl in kink spaces nearly as often) where like. A character will interrupt the flow of the scene to check consent

And I don't mean in an "are we still green?" Or "what's your color?" kind of way, but I mean. The author has tagged the fic and indicated via prose and/or author notes that they are doing their Due Diligence to make sure this fic is Righteously Consensual from top to bottom, No Question About It

And a character will ask for full sexual consent either directly or indirectly or renegotiate the boundaries of the kinks being practiced AFTER the sex acts have already begun.

Here's the thing: horny brain isn't great at making decisions! irl in kink spaces, there's often a lot of emphasis on negotiating BEFORE the scene begins, perhaps even with a space between negotiation and the scene if it's with a new/unfamiliar partner (maybe it's a few minutes while things are set up, maybe the partners negotiate a day or more in advance! It depends!), and not changing the parameters of the scene after someone is already horny or god forbid already in subspace.

Again, these are perfectly fine rules to break in fiction, when the author is aware of it (most characters are not going to be fully familiar with safe, sane, consensual practices and the traffic light system, nor would we want them to be!) but I'm increasingly finding fics where the author DOESN'T seem aware, which takes a normal fic (in-character, with reasonable but perhaps even somewhat dubious practices, which the author isn't emphasizing or preaching about) into Red Flag Territory (a character, OOC, yanking me out of the scene to behave like a PSA about consent instead of conforming to the horny tone of the scene, and perpetuating unsafe practices anyway)

If you are writing a master manipulator or someone who wants to have a gotcha, you totally said it was okay on a character they are trying to bone (which is well in the realm of non/dubcon) that's fine! This PSA is not aimed at you. But if you are trying to write someone who Cares Strongly About Consent, then perhaps be more aware of when is an appropriate time to escalate the situation (sexually speaking) or ask for consent!

#like you don't see this shit in the sex pollen tag! #those folks know exactly what they're doing and they're having a great time #and i don't want to call anyone out specifically because like. this is a multi fandom issue #and i see it mostly in fiction space #written by people who are probably not active in their local kink community #but i did just see a really egregious and specific example which triggered this rant I've been sitting on for a WHILE #like. people who are writing heat fics also typically know! if the sub is gagging for any phallus it's not the time to ask for consent! #they're well past that point!!! #it's the fics in between that think they're doing uwu soft romance with a bit of spice #that don't know how to warn for shit and make me very concerned for their safe sex practices in the future #this is 10000% more egregious if you DO write a character who is keenly aware of SSC practices #if your character goes to kink dungeons or has opinions about the traffic light system #they probably should know not to fuck with renegotiating mid scene #this has been a psa

sometimes i think about how wild a mw2 movie would be if they just dropped soapghost right in the middle with no warning or marketing. like imagine it being beat for beat the exact same, it’s your typical military action movie, promoted as just another military action movie then after they get to the safe house, ghost has to patch up soap and he’s still out of it, overwhelmed by the betrayal and everything he’s seen and ghost needs to ground him and keep him in the present, to remind him that he’s alive and safe so he kisses him and they have sex. the tantrums and the rants and the “ReAl sOLdiErS aRen’t liKe ThAt”, god i can taste it and it’s delicious

#theres never any talk of a relationship or sexuality crisis its just this moment of humanity and comfort to bring soap back to himself #real any time you need me by thirteenbullets vibes #theyre not the type of men to have something as normal as a relationship #theyre just everything to each other they know that and its enough #ghost can be such a complex character if you let him #this guy whos rejected his humanity has buried himself and become a ghost #willingly digging himself out of the grave to stop soap from digging his own #like how are there not more explicitly homoerotic military movies that actually pull the trigger (heh) on the homo part of the eroticism #you know how if movies have even a hint of queerness they wring it out for every drop of respresentation they can get #theres a hundred articles and its mentioned in every interview and it all journalists ask those actors #imagine it being a complete secret and everyone expects just a typical action movie #then boom battle buddy gay sex #like if it were a male and fenale character you would see that scene coming a mile away so why cant it happen with two guys #just doing it is the only way of normalising it #i still see men saying they act like brothers which is denial so strong even egypt is impressed #but imagine the general public expecting this manly man military movie then getting hit with the alone mission flirting and denying it #then getting smacked in the face with tender wound care and grounding love making initiated by the edgelord they were using as a self inser #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #john soap mactavish #soap cod #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #cod mw2 #we’re a team. ghost team

friendly reminder to newbie smut writers: your sex scenes can be fun, naughty, dirty, playful, intense, etc without choking, spanking, pain play, or other kinks.

those things are great in certain fics, don’t get me wrong! but your smut doesn’t have to be edgy to be good.

vanilla doesn’t mean your smut is bad, or boring. the sexiest, most sensual scenes can be simple, kind, or even humorous.

#no hate to those tropes or stories because they’re awesome too #but sometimes we as writers overcomplicate sex scenes to be edgy #and it can make new writers have a skewed sense of what readers want/need #also if you’re a virgin and writing smut pain/choking/other kinks are NOT necessarily normal in everyday sex and that’s okay #writing #fic #smut #ao3 #archive of our own #fanfic #fanfiction #thoughts #writing advice #hopefully this isn’t a stupid take

watching people write in-depth meta about a t-shirt that says "fart" in english b/c they like the director and studio not realizing that's not even how costuming in film works and that a lot of english t-shirts in East Asian countries just Be Saying Shit for the Vibes but can't get past a bathtub full or flowers or recognize the surrealistic aesthetics playing off erotic media works of Playboyy b/c there's blowjobs and dudes are cranking it on screen

#playboyy the series #i promise y'all sometimes a shirt is just a shirt #sometimes you just like a thing and think it's cool but it's not intentional on the directors part #sometimes they add the color blue to a scene for emotional symbolism but 90% of the time it's b/c they like the color blue #it's neat #i'm cool with ppl having fun and being like yeah this is a neat thing I saw in the thing I like #but sometimes ppl be like this is 100% factual and intentional and I'm like wait what #and also the different ways I'm seeing ppl engage with something clearly not intentional #vs #a series that is using intentional framing in the filming and in it's visuals #but those shows are heartfelt romances while the other is about sex in a really frank non romantic way #makes me go hmmmmmmmmmmm #anyways #chaos pikachu speaks

there's just something different about pete in the epilogue. he seems so much more settled in his own skin, he takes the time to consider what he's hearing, what he wants to say, how he wants to touch. there's a general sense of calmness that I think can only have come from a significant amount of introspection while vegas was unconscious, after the intense emotional whirlwind of the attempted coup and his resignation.

pete said himself he tries to live in the present, and i think part of that has been a defense mechanism, trying to not self-analyse too deeply or he'll have to confront the emptiness lurking there ("no. I've always been useless."). but after the finale, after finally owning up to what he truly wants and going after it, pete has had time to look at those choices he made in a desperate situation and has had to confront himself about them.

so when vegas asks him why he's still here, he takes a moment to really think about it. and unlike when vegas asked him before at the safehouse why he came back, he actually answers. he gives an answer that could have seemed flippant, but there's nothing but sincerity in the way it's delivered. he can't go anywhere else. and then: he just wants to follow his heart.

it's not a complicated answer. but it's what he didn't understand or couldn't face up to before, and he can only do so now because he isn't hiding away from himself any more. he knows that this was a choice he made and he will stand by it, keep making it, because it's what he wants. he seems so comfortable in his own skin in a way he hasn't before because now he isn't just living in the present: he's thinking about the past and what it will take to live with that, and most importantly he's thinking about the future and the life they could build together. the life he wants to build together.

and that conviction that he wants to keep following his heart gives us a version of pete who is so much more whole than any we've seen before

#kinnporsche #vegaspete #kp orig #i think the epilogue the sex scene and the escape scene are the most maskless we see pete in the show #and none of this is to say pete is suddenly healthy and everything will be fine now or anything like that #but i do think he's so much more grounded in the epilogue and prepared to face the future even when it will be hard #and i love that for him #and yes he gets smiley and shy when macau wakes up but that is just the natural reaction to being teaed by a teen #honestly (and this is just me being me lol) i even feel like those smiles are different??? #like they feel more sincere than his big fake smiles do #he genuinely seems like he can't keep the smile off his face after the initial embarrassment and it's so sweet #especially when he cuddles up to vegas at the end he seems so CONTENT #there's something about pete's big character moments occuring in times of high emotional stress #but the last we see of him it's this state of calmness with himself #knowing what he wants and sticking by it #man i just... pete
