and they can't hang us all

I still think about Bordel Patriotique so often because, that's just what survived, you know? That's just what made it to us. There must have been so much more frev-era gay rpf smut lost to time. It's so sad. My Library of Alexandria...

as far as i'm concerned all "yuri" is "toxic yuri" because women are ontologically evil thanks to eve's original sin

'It's my comfort book'

And it's a two-part novel by a Ukrainian-Russian author duo about the struggles of being gay in the late USSR and Post-Soviet countries that tackles the topics of mental health and conversion therapy and it also makes you hate everything and freaking bawl your eyes out every time you hear that one particular song that is mentioned there and is also banned in your country

Watched Ernst Lubistch's I Don't Want to Be a Man yesterday for a class. 1910s transmasc yaoi goes fucking crazy.

Tomboyish girl hates acting feminine and family brings in a male doctor to "break her down" and teach her manners. Out of spite, she buys a suit and crossdresses as a dapper boy to sneak into a party. Immediately gets flirted with and chased by a literal crowd of girls. Runs into the doctor and decides to try and seduce his girlfriend for revenge. While she and the doctor are fighting (doctor thinks she's a boy), they realize his girlfriend's already gone and they get drunk. They start kissing and making out and fall in love (doctor still thinks she's a boy). They accidentally run into each other the morning after and flirtatiously promise not to talk about yesterday's "adventure." Later, the girl reveals she was the boy and teasingly tells the doctor that she'll "break him down." Instead of getting angry, the doctor smiles, knowing he got his ass handed to him, and they kiss again.

Do you guys think anyone fujoshi'd out in 1918.

I've been following this lady on TikTok who runs an anti-porn account out of what I can only describe as sociological curiosity. Basically, when I first encountered her videos I sniffed out pretty quickly that she was both a) very very cishet and b) a religious conservative and listening to her talk about sex and relationships has become this fascinating window for me into how The Other Side lives.

Like one of the main conceits of her content revolves around the fact that men have to constantly fight against being overcome by lust, which is hilarious to me, someone who has read fanfiction, because acting like cishet men are somehow uniquely prone to being gooners is so deeply ignorant of how anyone outside a religious conservative community lives.

I would argue that the fanfic girlies are honestly even bigger gooners than most cishet guys. The average straight dude jorks his peanits a couple times a week by going to pornhub and looking up "milf" or "big boobs". Fanfic Enjoyers meanwhile are stroking their shit nightly to a bespoke selection of niche kinks and hyperspecific scenarios drawn from their childhood trauma that would have the average person gasping and keeling over in shock like a victorian socialite who just caught a glimpse of another woman's stockings. The fact that this has bled out into mainstream erotica makes it even more laughable. You've got straight girls on TikTok posting about Penelope Douglas books and you're gonna come on Chappell Roan's internet and say men are the ones "living in lust"? Give me a break

The other thing I find fascinating about her is that the way she talks about finding out that your bf or husband watches porn frames it as on par with being cheated on and a traumatic experience from which you can never fully recover. I think this was where the sociological fascination kicked in for me because as someone in a proud gooner for gooner marriage I *needed* to get a better understanding of her perspective on this.

What I found is that, from her perspective, your partner being sexually attracted to someone other than you indicates that you are not enough for them. That if they truly loved you, if they actually meant it when they said you're the only one they need, that being attracted to you and your body would proclude them from being horny for anyone else. For her and the women who follow her, their husbands looking at porn isn't just a sin, it's an insult to them personally. To them it means that they aren't attractive enough to keep their men from looking elsewhere.

And like not to be one of those 'humans are not naturally monogamous' bitches but like what a sad, insecure way to live your life.

Like it's so funny hearing her talk about all the things that porn can lead to. She's like "oh if your man uses porn he'll cheat on you, he'll leave you for a younger woman, he'll loose interest in you" and it's like no babe, you are marying men who don't like you because you're a fucking religious conservative and you're only dating men who are religious conservatives. They do not give a shit about your feelings because they only care about having A Wife and A Family. I guarantee you if you expanded your dating pool even a little bit it would not be hard to find a man who both watches porn and respects you

"I, a woman who was raised in the Misogyny Community to believe in the Misogyny Religion, think that my husband considers me a disposable sack of meat, as our religion teaches, but I have also been taught that I am worthless without a man, so I live in absolute terror that this person who considers me a disposable meatsack will dispose of me for a younger, sexier meatsack!"

You gotta feel sorry for them, really.

Thank you for making up for my lack of brevity on this post with that summary lol

Idk about y'all but I personally think anyone referring to scars, vitiligo, and cellulite as a fetish thing is saying more about themselves than they realize they are.

just got back from the grocery store and realized i forgot to kill everyone

Of course it goes without saying that I am hopelessly dependent on the ingot

Happy birthday to AO3 🎂🎉
