One of my faaaaavorite steamy tropes

is when a character who has always been very dominant lets their guard down to take on a more submissive role in the bedroom 🥰😍🥵😶‍🌫️ 🌶️ I can’t get enough of that!

I like your writing :) Is there anything you find to be off putting in more erotic styled writing? (beginner here)

Thank you! 😊

I'm answering below since it's somewhat 18+

I think erotic writing is the same as any other genre in that the common trends can be off-putting, e.g., bad grammar, poor characterization, shaky dialogue, etc.

Specific to erotica - I can think of a few that I personally dislike, though others might disagree. For example, I don't like when love scenes are just written as actions with no internalization from the characters, I'm turned off by really vulgar descriptions of genitalia, I dislike certain crude words for genitalia, and I click away when writers go overboard actually typing out the characters moaning as dialogue 😵‍💫 I think everybody has their own taste.

Anyway, I actually have a big post about writing sex scenes linked on my profile, if that's useful to you!

Thanks for the ask!

What are your thoughts on Craigman?

And for the headcanons thing, I love to think they would bond over music! They've both shown to be very into it and I love the idea of them bonding over it :3 ❤️

(Like, think of them becoming a duo? Stan writes their songs, Eric is the main singer, and they both play? They become super popular, travel the world touring and live their happily ever after 🥹💙

There seriously needs to be more AUs with these two... :( )

Ooh, Craigman! 🌶️ Honestly, I think I could see Cartman with anyone if I squinted hard enough. I love that ridiculous, dominant guy LOL. They'd have an interesting dynamic to explore, considering Eric's huge, boisterous personality and Craig's subdued stoicism. A good blend 👀 You can also share your thoughts on the ship!

Actually, Craig is one of my faves. I am perpetually trying to figure out fics about him.

Omg! I love the Stanman band 😭 Eric has some serious musical talents. He's gonna end up singing some crazy gushy stuff with sweetheart Stan writing their music, but it's the price he has to pay. Them traveling the world as the most iconic duo, I love it! 😍 Eric would get really jealous of Stan's fans though.

The Stanman tag is seriously skimpy 😔 I live for the rare moments when someone makes fanart of them.

Thanks for the ask! 🫶This was fun!! You and others feel free to send more! I really like receiving them 😊

Fanfic reader's prayer: may my favorite author's hyperfixation on this fandom last longer than mine 🙏

Sometimes I think about writing a Satoru x Suguru fic! 🫣 but everything has been done 🤯

The fact people write fics that could very well be award winning novels is insane.

Like—they write this for FREE. FOR FREE.

You beautiful bastards, I love you.

Oh, to be in a house surrounded by hydrangeas and honeysuckle, in hopeless, flowering love with a man who is tender..

Some people are mistaking my previous Taylor Swift post as being a blind Swiftie devotion post, and I think they missed the point. I’m not a Swiftie. I like some of her songs; others I consider difficult to get through. Do I think she’s a groundbreaking artist who changed the musical landscape? No. Do I think she’s heralding in the apocalypse of intelligent lyricism? Nah.

My purpose was to remind you to evaluate your own judgements and hone the vocabulary to understand your observations and understandings. For example, if you think her lyrics are bad, explain why. I suggest moving away from terms like “good” and “bad” and “mediocre” and writing your own definitions of those empty abstractions anyway.

A few summers ago, a teacher friend of mine was complaining that teens are becoming stupider and stupider because the books they read (if they read at all) are becoming stupider. Like a parrot, I recited a statistic about the national reading level I’d read because I thought that was enough to support our shared claim, but then how easily I’d accepted “teen books are bad” started to bother me.

So I spent the summer making numerous trips to the library and reading all of the top seller books for young teens, and then the more obscure ones too. I made lists about what I liked and what I didn’t and why. I read author bios and about the publishing houses to understand the politics of who gets accepted and who doesn’t. I knew I wasn’t the target audience, but I tried to remember what I loved as a teen myself, and what I love now. Some of the books were unbearably difficult to get through; others made me cry, and I ended up buying them.

Maybe it was a pointless task, and maybe this anecdote is too. But all I’m trying to suggest is that if you’re going to be a critic, you should try to be the best critic you can be - someone who is considerate, who is contemplative, who is fair. I promise you’ll become a better reader and listener this way, and the journey will heighten your own enjoyment of the media you consume.

I’m not trying to be preachy either, so I hope it doesn’t come off that way. Criticism is its own art like any other. It takes time and practice. I’m still learning.

Cartman is blessed by the cat distribution system and they end up having/fostering a bunch of cats!Stan’s a tad allergic but keeps it on the down low because he also loves the cats and loves seeing Cartman happy (plus he’s on top of cleaning)

I love this so much! Eric is a bigger softie than he lets on, and Stan would never say no to more cats 😭

They take turns saying “okay, this is the limit. No more” and the next day the other appears in the doorway with a scraggly cat and this expression 🥺

“Ugh fine… one more.”

I keep seeing the argument against TTPD that the lyrics are dumb, it’s not poetic, not really artistic. Lame posts like “if you like TTPD, you probably got an F in high school English class,” conflating some kind of warped version of media literacy and elitism with the album’s value.

But an essential part of media literacy is defining WHY you don’t like something - apart from vibes, from “it just sucks,” etc. I encourage everyone to practice understanding and developing the language to explain the reasoning behind why you reject certain songs and art pieces, and if your answer is “it’s not poetry,” you need to be prepared to define what poetry is and should be.

You don’t have to love everything you encounter, but you do need to craft tools to understand your opinions, even the negative ones. Trust me, it will make your own experience with media so much more enjoyable and considerate.

Plus, most reasonable people would rather read a thoughtful defense of an art piece we dislike rather than “it sucks and you’re dumb if you like it” - even if we don’t like it either.
