101 Things/Kinks in Fiction Meme Part 2
I am staying at my parent's for a few days and I really enjoy spending time with my niece, Liah. She is 3 years old and quite a handful. My parents and I took her to a wildlife park yesterday and I loved how smart she was around the animals. While other children her age were running towards them and screaming she was very calm. She even told one kid to stop screaming at a resting camel. She was all: "Can't you see he's sleeping???" So proud of her. I mean, I get that some children don't grow up around animals. Liah knows dogs, reptiles, parrots and cats and I am sure particularly the cats have taught her NOT to disturb them when they are resting, but isn't that where the parents come in? If I take my kid to the park to learn about animals isn't the first thing I teach them not to be a dick?
I have two new nephews as well, one is 2 month old and the other one is just a week old and they are both super cute.
I am a bit fed up with fandom at the moment. Some of you may have heard of the Hollywood Collector's Con in Tokyo. It was the big reunion of Aidan and Dean and from the fotos and videos and reports of people who have actually been there, it clearly was a fantastic time for everyone. But the theories of people who haven't been there just make me sick. Seriously. There was one person who knocked the nonsense and bullshit out of the park by saying Aidan was only happy and relaxed because he was on medication and is basically just a step away from suicide because fans won't leave him alone. She didn't use those exact same words, but that was pretty much the message. Really? Really, really? She deleted her post, but I can't unread it, you know? And I know, I KNOW, it's tumblr and i shouldn't even go there, but that is where the pretty pictures aaaare. :)
Anyway, on to part two of my meme.
11. Traveling and Roadtrips. ✔
Long journeys, a lot of time spent on the road and the description of new places
12. Sex that isn't described in a sexy way.
This can go very, very wrong, but when it's done well, it's amazing. The characters can have the best sex EVER, but it is written in a awkward, tactless, overly realistic or even eww way and still works, that's magic!
13. Sex that isn't perfect. ✔
Sometimes sex isn't mindblowing. The first time with a new partner? Awkward, rather than two bodies coming together in a perfectly synchronized, earth-shattering event. I thoroughly enjoy reading about sex that is incompetent, embarrassing and frustrating. Without a choir of angels singing in the background and without simultaneous orgasm and where cum tastes just like something that comes out of the human body and not heavenly nectar. Just saying.
14. Realistic Choices ✔
I am going to use my story, Fuck me I'm Irish as an example here. Character A had to make a choice between keeping a high paying job he enjoyed doing or taking a very small chance of getting together with Character B, not knowing if B was even interested in a relationship, not even knowing B that well. In most stories, the Hero would have given up his job for the chance of love, but I don't find that terribly realistic, to be honest. And I like stories in which a character makes a choice that is - for most people - the logical choice, even if it means the OTP won't get together.
15. Medical Emergencies and Hospitals. ✔
Maybe I should mention that I own all 15 seasons of ER. ^^' I love to read about a realistic medial emergency and a realistic ER/A&E experience. I love when a character gets hurt and has to trust others to help/get help.
16. It's not bad to...
When a character has been messed up so much that they think it is wrong to express emotions/sexual pleasure/preferences or even say no.
17. Love Life.
A character has complete understanding of how fucked up this world is, but decides to love life anyway. A genuinely happy, joyful character who honestly shouldn't be happy for all the shit they have been through.
18. Hair. ✔
A lovely head of hair, exceptionally expressive eyebrows, stubble, an epic beard, body hair - or lack thereof. Hair removal. Gingers. Curls. I have a MASSIVE thing for greying hair, especially if the person having it feels self-conscious about it.
I also love it when characters take care of their hair/another character's hair. Brushing it, washing it, etc.
19. No Orgasm ✔
When a character can't achieve an orgasm because they can't let go. They are stuck in their own head and... can't. Extra bonus parts when a Character can't even get an erection, because they are overthinking the situation.
20. Reading glasses.
I just love characters wearing glasses and reading glasses add a lot more possibilities to play. i put my glasses on in the morning and push them up my nose occasionally and then i take them off at night. But reading glasses can be taken off, played with, misplaced, be annoying and a subtle reminder that a character is aging.
I have two new nephews as well, one is 2 month old and the other one is just a week old and they are both super cute.
