The best thing about Tumblr is that your dash is a mixed bag, your feed is just whatever the people whom you trust to have good taste have decided to talk about. I love seeing fandom content about things I've never seen, watched, or even heard of, with absolutely zero context. Seeing someone post a sentence like "hey have you ever thought about how since Elain was created just before the second Undoing, she technically speaking doesn't have a soul like the other constructs of the North-East system, but she was still the one who likes music and the first one to cast a vote against cannibalising Georg."
And all the comments are like "oh my god she enjoyed music ;___;" and "now I can't ever watch the piano scene again without crying", "fuck you op, why did you notice that", and several sobbing gifs, and I'm here like "hmm. Incomprehensible. But I'm glad that you're all having fun."

imo a funny as fuck gag is when a character calls out another characters name from somewhere up high or otherwise not immediately noticeable and the second character replies “god?”

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

okay SO. Just FYI i have an insider contact and i asked him about this new google drive nsfw scare.
backing up is never a bad idea.
99% of people will be unaffected, and this is NOT a crackdown on having nsfw content on gdrive
"What I think has happened is that drive has made several updates to its spam/abuse filtering and one of the focuses is trying to catch spammers who share explicit things in docs with random emails. Which is good in theory, but has the potential to hit false positives."
his recommendation is to keep NSFW words out of your doc titles and instead of sharing the "open link", share directly with you beta's email addresses.
It is also more likely to flag up explicit images, though that is less likely to be a fic problem.

i loveeee a lot of ur pwp works + as well as the plotted big stories and literally so many of ur nsf/w scenes have me like ooohhhhhh.... can i ask for tips on how to write nsf/w??? or will that get u flagged on tumblr LOL
thank you!! i'm glad you like my stuff 😊 ive not been flagged as of yet so i'll offer what advice i can and see how we go!
a few general things to keep in mind:
practice! practice practice practice, it is a specific skill to write sex in the same way that improving characterisation or worldbuilding or narrative is
if you are completely new to writing nsfw stuff, you will have a Flinch TM. the Flinch will be embarrassment or awkwardness or the sanitised ghost of TikTok in your brain telling you to dress things up as euphemisms. and you need to kill it. like, let loose, let go, just WRITE. don't reread what you put down until you're done, just do as much as you can and then consider whether you can face it in chunks to edit it into something. and if you can't, that's fine! no writing is wasted!
self indulgence is ✨wonderful✨ almost all my shit started out as self-indulgent nonsense, and it was a really good way of getting words on a page and getting over the Flinch
i'd recommend getting a bit lost in the horny sometimes 😅 so like, ignoring plot and giving yourself space to just write feelings!! and actions!! and messy things and fun things and whatever you enjoy and want to explore the characters doing
as a counter point to that: there's a fine line between "self-indulgent" and "blatantly out of character". spending time considering what the characters would actually enjoy/be like in bed is soooo key to writing horny fic and making it feel genuine rather than a bit puppeteer-y e.g. a character who was notably traumatised by an attempted murder by strangulation probably wouldnt enjoy an asphyixiation kink (BUT, you might have fun exploring a universe wherein they have to reconcile their trauma with their base urges! which can be very fun! but to land you need to have a tight grasp of character to really think through what their reactions to different stimuli might be)
well-researched writing is important for everything but like.... ESPECIALLY sex. like there's a guide for EVERYTHING on the internet and nothing kills a fic like insanely unsafe kink that isn't deliberate (bc like. you can tell.)
also, reading erotica is research! the best writers are readers too!!! i'd recommend taking an analytical view into the nsfw stuff you read and considering what it is about the work that you like
imo it's better to use the word "cock" in a fic 30 times than resorting to 10 clumsy variations that make people cringe
if you're embarrassed, post it all anonymous and see what happens. i have Multiple fics on ao3 that i have deemed too horny/too much for even my anon collection and like. i'm very glad i wrote them. but i also Never want them linked back to me even tangentially 😅

It's kinda funny when you get a bunch of likes but no reblogs like I enjoyed your post but I'd prefer if no one else saw it

For people saying David Bowie does not belong in Pride month (I never thought I’d see this)
To those bashing David Bowie as not “belonging” in Pride month “because he was straight” and saying that he “came out as straight” in 1983, please remember the following.
1.  David Bowie also said he didn’t like to be quoted, especially in the early 80s because he knew he contradicted himself a lot. (Source: The book David Bowie: in his own words, published in 1993.  Ironic, no?)  Every few years he invented a new persona or stage identity and it just so happened his early 80s identity was supposedly straight. They were like characters he became.  And they all had names.  Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, Thomas Jerome Newton / The Thin White Duke, The Earthling…   Ziggy, by the way, was openely bisexual.
2.  Mick Jagger has admitted he and Bowie were lovers. (It was a long time rumor eventually confirmed by Mick Jagger that yes, they slept together while David Bowie was still married to Angie Bowie).
3.   Later during Bowie’s marriage to Iman David Bowie admitted to always having a sexual attraction to both men and women but he was quote “straight for her” which kind of indicates his original self-assessment of bisexual is correct.
4.  David Bowie did not conform to gender norms.  He wore make up and dresses. He wore a dress on the original album cover fro Honky Dory and a dress for his TV performances of Boys Keep Swinging. He was also a major supporter of LGBT+ causes. (Source: album covers and videos.) So at the very least he was gender nonconforming and this went on post-1983 when he supposedly came out as straight.  
5.    David Bowie was one of the first musicians to openly write songs about gay sex such as Sweet Head and Velvet Goldmine.  (Source: His own songs.)
6.  During chat sessions on David Bowie’s BowieNet (His mid-90s online service he offered) he referred to himself as “Queer”.    You’d quote his 1983 interview but not his many chat room appearances as “Sailor” from 1997 until his death?  (Source: chat logs that can still be found online.)
7.   David Bowie always supported LGBT+ causes and the majority of his friends and loved ones are in the community / spectrum.   Freddie Mercury, for example, was very dear to him. (Source:  The Freddie Mercury tribute concert and his released and unreleased Queen collaborations including Under Pressure, Under pressure ‘99, and some unreleased tracks for the same album, Hot Space.)
8.   David Bowie’s many sexual encounters with men were documented in the book Stardust: the life story of David Bowie, first published in 1986.
9.   There was more homophobia in the 1980s due to the AIDS crisis than there was in the early 1970s.   This should be taken as a consideration.  Not to mention there were, and still are, some gay people who insist bisexuality isn’t real.  
10.    Some of David Bowie’s documented male sexual encounters happened after he supposedly came out as straight.  I again refer to you to the book where Bowie said he hated being quoted.  Also every interview he did he did “in character” as the current stage persona he was using.  Even Iman said that “David Bowie” was a character, the man he was at home was David Jones, who was entirely different from the character he played in public.
11.   David Bowie re-came-out-as-bisexual in 2002 because it was harder for him to be publicly bi in America than it was in Europe.

Okay I think I saw a post about it before but the lyrics of The Other Side Of Hollywood are genius really, the way it seems like Caleb’s word are general words like ‘oh this club is so amazing there’s so much for all of you to see and do’ but in reality the words from the beginning are directly aimed at the boys????
‘Consider me the pearly gates to your new favourite thrills’ - okay because the boys only just found out they can still perform to humans even though they’re dead, it’s their new thrills and Caleb can have them perform with his band all the time.
‘We could go make history’ It is literally straight to them, he wants to make history with them, he wants them in his ghost band.
‘So welcome to the brotherhood where you won’t be misunderstood’ they were a 90s band of teenage boys that struggled with their families, misunderstood teens, oh but they won’t be misunderstood here :D
The second verse gets more direct to them, he literally says ‘we’ve got a vacancy’
‘We can set the night on fire and break out of the scene’ is this not literally what the boys want, it is, it’s everything they dreamt of.
I think it’s from here where everyone’s like ‘oh yeah he’s singing directly to them’ since he adds ‘boys’ to the lyrics
But ahh this isn’t just a generic villain song it’s super manipulative from the get go, and then when you get to You Got Nothing To Lose he is literally directing to them the whole time but it’s more clear since he’s literally performing to the side of the stage??
I actually did not need to write all of this like everybody already knows it but I think it’s neat and genius and honestly I feel a little bit robbed that we haven’t got more Caleb Covington manipulative hits

Watching Julie and the Phantoms hits different when your connection to music has grown exponentially since the last time you watched it
Every time Luke speaks I just wanna point at the screen and yell "HE GETS IT!!!"

A lackluster lickspittle, turncoat pickpocket, a scapegoat scarecrow, slapstick show-off, a spoilsport sell-sword, cheapskate shoplifter, a jerkwater jitterbug, a downbeat daredevil, a killjoy watchman and a tagalong tattletale walk into a bar.
I have no punchline, I just wanted to go apeshit with this way of forming nouns.

thinking about Bobby mudurduring the guys... because Caleb possessed him... to give him more trauma... because Bobby wanted to be the most famous of the band... and if you think about it his wish came true... because he became the only one of the band...
Also, Reggie was fucking right, Julie's a WITCH
