Hello! I'm Blackhole, aka Not-Terezi-Pyrope. Formerly a long-time Homestuck blog, now a general stuff blog, although I am still likely to reblog Homestuck things. Once Hussie tweeted a thing I made and I took my blog title from it. Content warnings: Blog is rated 18+, and so am I. Artwork is largely untagged; occasional cartoon violence and gore in untagged artwork; discussion of some difficult issues in my personal posts; occasional nsfw text in my personal posts; if you think anything I'm likely to post is something you might not want to then you probably shouldn't be following me. Pronouns: She/her. Please have a good day! :D

Imagine you could live as a brain in a jar hooked up to a computer and the Internet. You could view all websites, talk to people online over text and with a computer generated voice program, play video games, watch videos, movies and TV, read any fiction that is available online. You would feel no pain, and only the brain would age, allowing you to live far beyond the point where a body usually falls.

However, you would have no physical awareness, no senses other than video/audio of your attached device, and you wouldn't be able to interact physically with the world in any way that isn't mediated by signals over the Internet. Hormone responses would be simulated by your life support system, but that would be it.

Potentially slightly spicy take: full respect for bodily autonomy means respecting the right for people to, assuming they do so knowingly and while informed, consent to putting themselves in situations where they cannot easily, readily or even at all withdraw that consent once given - and this includes during sex.

I have sometimes seen ostensibly sex positive people opine that it is impossible to consent to chemsex even if consent is granted while sober, because not being sober in the moment means that you don't have the capacity to withdraw consent, and the ability to withdraw consent is required for sexual consent to be valid. There are many thinkpieces online, some by academics, expounding this opinion.

While this might make sense for the default case where nothing to the contrary has been specifically negotiated, it is completely incompatible with several understandings of consent and bodily autonomy we routinely apply in non-sexual contexts, where it is understood that of course someone can choose, if they so wish, to put themselves in a situation that they cannot immediately extricate themselves from.

If you choose to get on a roller coaster, you can't unbuckle yourself from the ride once it's in motion, even if you're really scared and want it to stop. Does this mean that you didn't really have the capacity to choose to get on the ride? Of course not. It's a risk you can choose to take.

If you're getting an elective surgery, consent cannot be withdrawn once the doctors put you under. Does that mean that all surgery is implicitly a violation? Of course not. People have the autonomy to put process that will affect their bodies into motion.

Most contracts cannot be reneged upon once signed. The agreement is legally binding. Does that mean that nobody can consent to sign such a contract? No, if you understand what you're agreeing to, you are empowered to make that choice, and the law and society recognize this.

If you decide to scale a rockface while mountaineering, you can't renege on that decision half way up the rock face. Does that mean that you can't consent to attempt the climb? That anyone who sells you gear is complicit in enabling your self-assault? No! This is obviously absurd.

Sex is not some alien domain with a separate, inscrutible rubric; like everything else in life, it's just an activity that people can choose to engage in, and that includes them having the autonomy to make the decision to undertake a certain amount of personal risk.

To take a more common example, BDSM implicitly understands this in a lot of contexts. You can consent to being tied up and gagged if this is pre-negotiated as a scene; once you are tied up and gagged, even if you have some signal, the ropes cannot be untied immediately. This is known and agreed to before the scene commences, because, again, bodily autonomy includes the right to put yourself in situations you can't immediately leave. And yet this baldfacedly contradicts a naive absolutist interpretation of "consent must always be revokable". There are, of course, some people who genuinely believe that such BDSM scenes can never truly be consented to; we call them radfems and swerfs and rightfully shun their wrong and harmful opinions in sex positive spaces as they deny bodily autonomy.

But some people do not take this idea to its conclusion, and carve out clumsy exceptions for activities they personally deem too extreme or risky. I'm here to tell you, respectfully, that it is none of your business, and that you cannot leave exceptions or carveouts in personal bodily autonomy, even if you think it's for the person's own good. (Every conservative opponent of bodily autonomy thinks that their strictures are for the person's own good! That is missing the point!).

So yes, that means that the somnophilia fetishist can consent to letting their partner feel them up while they're asleep. That means that the cnc fetishist can negotiate a scene where they are bound and gagged and not given a chance to say no. And yes, that means that somebody can agree while sober to have sex with their partner while they are drunk.

Bodily autonomy means respecting the right of people to make those decisions, and not vilifying their partners for taking them at their word when the negotiation was in good faith and where there is no reason to believe they didn't understand what they were agreeing to.

My novel, Total Entropic Denial, is now available to read for free on Royal Road!

April Pearce's world feels like it just might be falling apart. Her restaurant job leaves a taste in her mouth almost as bad as the food they serve their customers, her kinda-sorta girlfriend is probably, almost-definitely mad at her, and despite her best efforts, she can't seem to stop her neuroses from leading her face-first into bad decisions and bloody accidents. But as if that wasn't bad enough, now it seems that there might be a very real chance that she's losing her mind. As a series of inexplicable and increasingly horrific occurrences lead April to question the fundamental nature of her reality, staring an incomprehensible truth in the face will strip her down to the deepest marrow of her soul, and leave her straddling a line between two twin terrors; that she's either going insane, or, even more terrifyingly, that the things she's been seeing are absolutely real. Following those questions to their conclusion will lead her to new horizons, throw her into conflict with unexpected enemies, and make her even more unlikely friends. As the boundaries of reality start to crack wide enough open to catch glimpses of the horrors that lie outside of their confines, the scope of her struggle starts to tend towards a yawning infinity. Wherever this path may end, one thing's for sure; once we get there, nobody will be able to shut their eyes and ignore the consequences.

Total Entropic Denial is my experimental Science Fantasy/Horror novel, with the guiding ethos of experimenting with high concepts while also getting extremely weird with it. This is the largest creative project I've ever undertaken, taking up almost the entirety of my 2023, so it'd really be cool if you'd check it out!

Total Entropic Denial features queer characters and relationships, alien worlds and creatures, and body horror. It is a mature work that at times deliberately seeks to provoke, so I will up front provide the following:

Content Warnings: Violence Blood Explicit gore Explicit sexual content Shocking content Situations of ambiguous sexual consent Depictions of homophobia Depictions of transphobia Death Existential despair

The book fully free and available to read online at the above link. I would have liked to have optional monetization, but unfortunately I can't add a PayPal donation link to the Royal Road listing without exposing my deadname. In the event that a significant number of people want to do that, let me know and I'll figure something out. In the meantime, please leave a review and/or share the book around!

Additionally, I want to give big thank yous to @ericvilas, @fipindustries, and @theothin for beta reading this for me, as well as other help and encouragement received!

It is totally understandable given the cultural context we live in, the toxic culture of heteronormative-amatonormative-mononormative relationships and misogyny, that the automatic assumption a woman might have when a male friend expresses interest in her is that he might be being deceptive in pursuing their friendship when he just wants to sleep with her.

But it is also true that sexual attraction and openness to a sexual encounter are not inherently degrading or objectifying, and so unless you leave room for the possibility of being incorrect about the former assumption - and it is an assumption - then you are internalizing a type of sex negativity that is pretty actively harmful, I think.

It may or may not be appropriate for a friend to tell you that they would sleep with you if you were willing. In the wrong context that can be a form of sexual harassment. But there also has to be a room for creating a context by setting boundaries upfront, explicitly or otherwise, where these things can be discussed free of assumption and immediate judgement. It is not inherently degrading to be attracted to someone, or to be open to sleeping with someone, and neither is it necessarily a threat if someone asks what your opinion on that would be.

If you are dismissing the value of your friendship with another person outright when they have broached the topic in a respectful manner, that's a fucked up thing you have done. It doesn't do anyone any favours, I think, to insist that a cultural context can never be set aside enough to discuss a topic honestly and with a literal implication to your words. There needs to be a space for that. If you trust someone, or profess to, then necessarily you should be able to do that. The insistence that this in some circumstances can't be done reminds me of how some allistic people refuse to engage with the communication styles of autistic people.

No matter what straight monogamous people seem to think, sex is not some flailing corrupting cthulhu beast one must always be fearful of, not acknowledge and not look directly at. It can just be a thing that you do for fun, I promise. If you don't believe that then maybe you have a few neuroses of your own to unpick. If you're afraid of sex outright, of people being hypothetically attracted to you as a thoughtcrime regardless of what actions they might take, then at least recognize that this fear is your own issue rather than an intrinsic property of sexuality that validates sexual interactions being stigmatized or overly-elevated.

Anyway I'm pretty open about being sexually attracted to most people I'm friends with, and if that was honestly a problem to them, then that's a sign that we don't understand each other well enough to be very good friends in the first place. If somebody who proclaims to trust and understand me takes offense or implies I'm degrading them through the mere presence of sexual attraction or interest, I'm going to take offense there, and I think I deserve to, at least if they persist even when I make an honest attempt to communicate and clarify. Trust in friendship when professed shouldn't be taken to have implicit holes dictated by the specific myopia of another person's worldview. That is their darned fault tbh

Progressives when people around them are complying with monogamous romantic norms: "All bodies are beautiful ☺️ Nobody should be discriminated against for who or how they love ☺️ Rights for minorities ☺️ Fat liberation ☺️"

Like, we get it, you're insecure, but that doesn't actually mean you're allowed to insult and stigmatise people (and uncritically invoke other bigotries!) to feel better just because you think your mono friends will let you get away with it. The leftism really does leave people's bodies I swear.

This is the number one way I hear monogamous people talk about polyamory, even in leftist and queer spaces. Can assure you that there are multiple posts to this affect being gleefully passed around lgbtq tumblr circles right now.

Also the way that people complain that people in polyamorous relationships aren't attractive to them like it's a disappointment, as if the only reason that other people should exist in non- monogamous relationships should be for their own titillation.

I didn't want to outright say it, but to the person who tagged this; yeah, I know exactly what you mean and it's bothered me for years. Really put me off any of his other stuff when I've seen it around.

Could someone elaborate on this? Isnt that the "was i supposed to learn this from ____" guy?

Call me bad at taking a joke but I don't find it funny when it's pretty clearly feeding into a meanspirited narrative.

"It's never who you want to be polyamorous who's polyamorous, you guys give off bad nonsexy vibes" cool. The same is true of most random straight monogamous couples, but I don't expect other people to be fetishized objects catering to my personal erotic fantasies.

Imagine if a comedian made a song about how gross the vibes were from another gsr minority where they had them transforming into monsters and chasing them down the street. They'd never be taken seriously in queer circles again, but Chris Fleming is still a beloved lgbt icon

Something that annoys me is that it's not "an infinite amount of monkeys in an infinite amount of time" it's an infinite amount of monkeys OR an infinite amount of time. An infinite amount of monkeys will produce Hamlet immediately, or at least in the smallest amount of time it is theoretically possible for a monkey to type up Hamlet (or otherwise produce it). Meanwhile with infinite time you only need a single monkey (assuming that it is ageless and does not give up). Also technically you do not even need the infinite time, just an unbounded finite duration, and really forcing the monkey to exist for another eternity after already typing up Hamlet for you is probably just cruel to the monkey

These are the real conversations we need to be having

You know when I first heard about Dungeon Meshi from tumblr osmosis I thought it was a sort of dungeon crawler/D&D parody from a world where all the monsters in the dungeon are animate food creatures like Bugsnax or something, and I was exceptionally pleased to discover when watching the anime that the dungeon is in fact populated by entirely ordinary fantasy monsters and it's just that the protagonists are all freaks who are into eating them anyway

Speaking to my boyfriend: "Sorry babe, but due to budget cuts I'm going to have to downsize."

I reach into my inventory management system and detach a 5-square component from my crotch labelled "bespoke and nice pussy" (+5 goop) from its hardpoint before discarding it. I reach into my storage locker and bring out a 3-square L-shaped component labelled "bad and evil pussy" (+2 goop, -1 sanity), then attach it in its place.

I think the online queer community needs to reckon with the fact that prejudice against polyamory (including recycled arguments about legal equality being a slippery slope!) is more common than it is not in some spheres even when populated by lefty gay/trans folks.

You are all for liberation until someone suggests that monogamy is not universally sacred. Then you get all uncomfortable and start rattling off some pejorative nonsense about "cis bi polyam dudes being weird at a parties" or some straight up evangelical-style slander about polygamous cults marrying minors without batting an eye.

And then you'll continue on waving pride flags like you haven't just smeared and casually dismissed the legal rights of a sexual minority. Because it makes you uncomfortable to face that your preferences might not be universal, I guess.

Honestly no better than old fashioned homophobia I will be honest.
