In my opinion… reading smut is so much hotter than watching po*n…. It’s kinda like okay yeah that nice and then with reading it… my whole body tingly with soaked panties 😭💕
Waking up and reading some tumblr first thing in the morning.
Made this after talking to @freesia-writes
@lightwise did I just wake up and read the next chapter on @spicy-clones immediately? Maybe.
Image Description: A man in a woman in the 1950′s are sitting across from each other and both are holding a book or magazine. The husband asks “What are you reading, darling?” She replies, “My morning smut, dear.” He then asks, “Getting any fun ideas?” End of image description.
every once in a while, I read some smut. I know, shocking, right? In any case, I recently saw a book rec that had as its basic synopsis "A billionaire keeps a harem of supernatural creatures - an omega wolf shifter, a kelpie, a vampire, an incubus, a siren, a fey, and a 'vessel' (a human that stores magic and you have to... fuck it out of them to use it, I guess?). Brodie is sent undercover as the harem's medic to discover the billionaire's secrets".
This seems promising. Nsfwhump, paranormal funtimes, weird shit galore, count me IN.
And then... the whole book kind of skims over the nsfwhump entirely. Hell, there's barely any actual real whump! It was terribly disappointing and I was honestly so interested. The POV is primarily the Brodie man, but it switches off with Red, the wolf shifter, who considering he has been kept locked up for literal years, has almost no trauma as a result of this? Only two of the creatures even seem to have much at all.
I was kind of deflated by the end because I really wanted more build up to get me to care about the characters, and was interested in seeing their emotional/physical trauma play out as Brodie worked to rescue them. But you don't get to see all that much of it at all, and it feels like the plot breezes past you so fast you're struggling to keep up with how everything happens so quickly.
So now I'm just sitting here like... well damn it, why throw such a promising premise at me and then run away from it as fast as you can?
On the other hand, it inspired me to create a siren OC that I'm working out details of with @redwingedwhump as far as figuring out where I would want to go with the concept. I found "captive siren who isn't allowed to sing" wildly interesting, another concept that is just sort of touched on but it does sound like the siren will get his own book at some point. I just. I want him to feel more pain and if I cannot get pain from this story, I will make up a new OC and give that one the pain instead.
Getting that squishy feeling inside from reading something romantic.. and then remembering your aromantic and don’t want that jazz anywhere near your actual self.
