Re: Text or Subtext?

[darkmanifest]

I much prefer subtext, but subtext that doesn't only show up in one scene. Like, readers should already have been able to figure out from previous subtextual implications why Javier wouldn't want Kevin to look while he's giving the blowjob. If I can't piece things together from hints given in other parts of the story, then the subtext in one scene might not be enough; but if I can, then I enjoy it much more than being told anything outright.

One of my favorite trilogies is basically loads of subtext, pretty much nothing is spoonfed in the narrative, and having to sift through the unspoken layers of character behavior is a pleasure for me. EDIT: Oh, I forgot to add, in one part of the story, one character flatly refuses to give a blowjob during his first time with another character, and it's clear from previous hints in the text that it's likely because he was abused as a child by his uncle. We're never once told this, but the suggestion is everywhere, and his partner has most likely caught on by now. So because of this, the sex scene doesn't have to grind to a halt to explain anything.
