girly parts! (pt one of several)

[lite_bright]

Okay, so there's this thought experiment, popularized, I think, by John Berger in "Ways of Seeing," about masculine/feminine expectations and gazes. It goes like this: take an image of a female nude, and get it good and clear in your mind, and then attempt to imagine the figure as a man, with the attendant lack of breasts, whatever was on show in

Right! Commentage. Apologies for the lag, but you know, I actually had to read all these first. And then I got caught up in the faerie fic, and the Sixteen Candles vampire AU, and the one where Pete loses his shadow, and OH GOD I LOVE THE CRACK IN THIS HERE FANDOM

[lite_bright]

The crack is totally awesome. I adore crackfic everywhere, (you act so surprised, right?) but here, there are some good pushers. Or whatever, my metaphor escapes me. STILL AWESOME

We are collectively twelve. But that's a good thing! It's more fun, and hey, our crack is totally sweet and sugary and adorably crazy

Awesome! Psht, the fun-to-write is what matters most. I mean it is possible to post something and not get a single reader, so you might as well make it fun. I don't think your idea is self-indulgent

If only genderswap could be a mutant power. I have no idea what it would accomplish, but hey, there have been less-useful powers in comics canon. Perhaps it reverses other things too? Like, ta-da, that psychopath only needs to be touched by me, the genderswapped girl/guy, and suddenly, she'll revert to, like, eating lettuce instead of people! I don't even know, I am LAME, there's a reason I don't write comics, and drink a lot of vodka and cranberry juice

Oh, I do like the aspect of outside agency making them get together, that's great. That's why I like sex pollen so much. Although I only just discovered that, thanks to the FOB fic by ficbyzee. Admittedly it also has a lot to do with the absolute mad frenzy the characters get when under the influence, and desperate!Patrick is SO MUCH FUN.

The funny thing is I keep mentally designing Ryan's Snow White outfit with like, a blue overbust corset and shorter skirt and leather jacket and slightly puffy-sleeved shirt with a turned-up collar,looking really pissed-off. In army boots (y halo thar, bootkink)! So sort of like a modern emo snow white. And it's pretty much fabulous. I'd so draw if if I could draw at all.

I'm totally down with tentacle porn, so long as it's not rape. I dunno what that says about me! Can't seem to find much of it though, except this one DW fic. Turns out Captain Jack is extremely open-minded!

comic fic is full of sex pollen stories, I know. It occasionally crops up in sci-fi stuff as well, and yes, that overwhelming "need sex or I'm gonna explode!" thing is totally delicious. Also, I have this inexplicable adoration for stories where Patrick comes across as properly pushy, because, oh, all that- shallow, what?

One of my favorite things about any genderswap fic is how everyone copes with dressing, and that does not change, for that story. I mean, it's set in motion principally because Brendon is totally shallow, but, oh, the clothing mishaps! Ryan...basically, all of Ryan, because I love, yes, the emo Snow White, but also the shoe-shopping, and, man, Ryan usually just freaks me out. I should go write my rec for it, while I still have a partly-critical brain. But, wait, my lizard brain says boot-kink is too hot to go away. Oh, that is fabulously sexy.

there's one tentacle porn fic by iphgenia939, which I have not read, but have bookmarked. And yes, Captain Jack is surely open-minded, that's one way to put it. 'Unrepentant slut' is

or, if I could type, iphignia939.

Ah, iphignia939, what would I do without you? You seem to have a magical understanding of all my cracky kinks. Please hurry up with that story where Jepha is a Lord of Faerie, kthx?
