Being in control of my body movements and facial expressions at all times is a very outdated survival mechanism for me … so I see people like you at concerts and think, “Look how free they are! Beautiful!” 🩷 I like to think I’ll get there someday 😊

I’m so sorry, Jill. I’ll bring a 40 orange cake that barely tastes of oranges and a big ole hug 🫂

Ah yes, and multiple food allergies and sensitivities over here. “So thoughtful of you! Literally cannot eat that though I’m sure it’s quite tasty” 🙃

Aah, yes, our social brains! So good at seeking connection and belonging. Sometimes tricky for remembering the joy of creation and imagination for its own sake. Love the way you’ve worded all this 💖

Just thinking out loud and holding all of these sometimes-hard-to-reconcile truths at once 🩷

Writing for myself no matter the views feels like a battle some days. That plus comparing my process and output to other writers and placing too-stringent expectations on myself led me to burn out / psych myself out for almost a year.

C. Pressure to write certain things to be seen feels crummy. Pouring your heart into something that many will (and do) scroll right by because it isn’t rated E can feel like having a very tender part of your identity stomped on. Being read and cheered on feels pretty super duper.

B. Sex can be wielded lots of ways (etc etc, I know everyone knows that); reading & writing certain kinds of smut can be a reframing, relearning, & healing process *for me.* And just as much in some ways, so can reading and writing the ways all types of relationships are navigated without sex.

A. Loving all the G/T/M fic recs! STORYTELLING is true magic. I honest to goodness believe that. Sometimes sex is a beautiful (or fun or horny or heartbreaking or silly or joyful, etc) part of that, but lots of times it isn’t or doesn’t need to be.

Uuugghhh, so annoying! Everyone has said thoughtful things, so I will simply agree. Great way to ruin a book for me! 😠

What else does the show runner do? (So if like it I can watch more good stuff!)

I’m very intrigued by your points! I haven’t not watched it on purpose, I just have … haven’t. You know, “Oh yeah, looks cool, heard good things, I’ll watch it some time.” But I think I’ll start it this week! (Actually that’s how I was with OFMD: “Heard great things, I’ll get around to it.” 😂😝)

Been fiddling a bit with the Getting Steamy generator. I’ve added about 20 elements across the generator’s four lines, and there are some fun results! Link and steamy examples in the comments 💞

Biggest hugs to you. It can be so uncomfortable to have joy and festivities blaring all around and to actually feel quite down about it all 🫂
