Aw thank you ✨ That shit did rock, and me too - I had an inkling that Unjust Depths was good when I took it as a rec from you and dl’ed the epub four months ago, but I had no idea it would be THIS GOOD!
Lmao well power to anybody who gets off to Unjust Depths as well, uncritical support. I am at a weird intersection of autism + asexuality where I am fascinated by kink but have next to no desire to participate, lol
Unjust Depths when dudes rock, lmao. I like that Erich is all androgynous anyway, I picture him as a bishie tbh.
glad to see my “recommend unjust depths to everyone who will listen” strategy is paying off and people aren’t going “why do you like this garbage?” it’s very validating
well ok i’m not like jacking off to it but as an allosexual person it’s definitely something i appreciate on several levels. mad respect to the asexual pure academic interest angle though
it’s amazing that i can go “it’s nice to see some men from time to time :)” when i’m NEVER asking for more men in stories
Thankfully it’s really good, grats on your superb selection. I’m also gonna write a lil thingy about Dungeon Meshi soon :>
LMAO okay I see, fair play as well. I do wonder that about sex scenes in works that are not primarily erotica, if it’s expected that people will…
Ikr, it’s because 1) they’re funny murder gays 2) they are evil 3) they are doing big schemes 4) they are androgynous and pretty! Funniest type of dude imo.
tbh i’m also never really sure about that. i know that that was the business model for a lot of dtv or cable stuff at one point, when it was way harder to get porn, but idk about outside that
it’s also cause the rest of the story is so woman focused. it’s really lovely to see, and it means i go “oh nice, somethign for the dude enjoyers!” also it does help that they’re like yaoi bishie type dudes who have schemes and plots
well i mean, sex can tell you a lot about characters, right? at least if done well. we learn more about zachikova and arabella from it, same with norn and adelheid. though a lot of the time it doesn’t serve that purpose and idk what’s going on when people can just go watch/read actual porn
Idk if I learned a ton about Zachikova from it? Other than that I wouldn’t have expected her to enjoy getting her blood drank, lol. But the whole scene, non-sexy stuff included, does greatly inform my understanding of her, true! And Arabella actually, like she’s so instantly sympathetic when she’s being a sad puppy about her blood habit. My smol bean aphotic leviathan horror lesbian only wants a lil blood~! As a treat!
But I actually asked this in a discord server 'cause I have no sense of social propriety:
Don’t incriminate yourself unless you wanna: So obviously with purpose-written-and-labelled-erotica, it’s expected that the reader will be reading one-handed. Duh, right? But in your more typical mid-spicy romance novels, like uh a Haley Cass or a Lily Seabrooke which has a few sex scenes at decent detail but spread out… is it expected that the reader will suddenly shove a free hand into their pants when they come up? Obviously sex scenes can serve your characters and give us insight into stuff like how they deal with intimacy, and arguably a good sex scene should easily double-read as both filthy smut and useful character development, but is the assumption there that the reader will randomly get off to it, or no…?
So yeah I was thinkin’ along those lines too!
Unjust Depths only continues to get better… save me misandrist heterophobes, misandrist heterophobes save me…
Yeah haha mb :)

how will i survive

Alas, such hardships,
Makes sense for cable TV in the 80s, but for novels and stuff now…? Deeply mysterious…
Oh shit you’re right, the men have been marginalised and made the minority!! Wonderful stuff ngl.
:kbity:

not only is it heterophobic, it’s misandrist!
Excited for kbity tbh
