NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

For me, it's hole and folds.

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Dick. It just sounds very juvenile to me.

Re: NSFW words you hate

Pussy, tits, wang, describing dicks as "spongy" "weeping", and any "fancy" word the writer puts in without bothering to look it up / figure out how it works grammatically / what eras it's appropriate in (e.g., no, a contemporary dude isn't going to call anyone "wanton"; no, "eloping" isn't a synonym for "fuck" so nobody's going to be caught "eloping against the garden shed"; and no, "making small keens" is not a thing, stop it forever.)

I made a secret about this a little bit ago… while I’ve gotten over my dislike of many sex-related words, “gummy walls” is one I think I’ll never be okay with.

It just raises so many unpleasant unsexy associations.

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, folds, YES. Uggghhh I hate that one so much. I also hate "sex" when used like "he entered her sex"

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto on "hole."

I hate "tits" in general but especially when used to describe a man's pecs. WORSE: Tiddies. This sounds like toddler-speak.

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

cunt.

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Cum.

Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

I'm okay with folds, tbh. "Sex" too because it's nondescript and neutral. But I've run into otherwise decent smut that uses the word "cunt" to refer to vulvas and it completely turns me off. I don't even find the word itself offensive, but it's such a blunt and crass word. I often see it used in prose-like or even romantic sex fics and it takes the immersion immediately. I find "pussy" juvenile and a huge turn-off too.

Tbh, I don't really read smut often anymore because words to describe AFAB anatomy are pretty awkward, and I'm only into F/F or F solo stuff. It's either too clinical and like I'm reading a medical manual, or it's extremely crude. I salute writers who can strike that perfect balance, but I'm not sure if I've found many.

Pussy. Hate it.

What are your favorite super specific fic AUs?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by all the Ella Enchanted AUs I've read recently.

Re: What are your favorite super specific fic AUs?

[(Anonymous)]

I really love fantastical AUs of normal shows. Like werewolves, superpowers, etc.

Re: What are your favorite super specific fic AUs?

[nocowardsoul]

I don't know if they exist but I would love to see an AU based on Unraveller by Frances Hardinge, a fantasy novel where it's possible to accidentally curse someone you're angry at, and also there are people who can undo curses.

Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

I'm tired of every holiday getting stretched into a bigger and bigger thing just as an excuse to sell shit. BACK IN MY DAY, ST PATRICKS DAY WAS A TINY HOLIDAY that no one really "celebrated." My parents put green food coloring in our scrambled eggs that morning, and you wore green so you wouldn't get pinched.

Now all the stores have a rack of cheap disposable plastic shit to buy. Social media has trends of dumb shit. Same for like, 4th of July. That was fireworks, grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. Now there's more shit being merchandised for the holiday.

And the bigger holidays just get more and more inflated. Christmas is the most obvious example, but Halloween too. There were always Halloween decorations, but it gets expanded more and more each year. It comes out earlier and earlier. And Easter.. That was another thing, when I was a kid, you bought candy, a basket (that you reused each year), the plastic Easter grass, and plastic Easter eggs (which were also reused yearly).

Now it's candy AND a whole bunch of toys and cheap plastic shit in the basket too. Plus decorations, of course. Oh and better get a new basket every year! Your kid can't use the same Easter basket for two years in a row?! Valentine's Day has crept up too, buy buy buy all this pink and red shit.

I'm just tired of it, damn, I'm tired of capitalism and ads everywhere.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

Same. We don't really buy anything other than food and other necessities anymore. I've almost got the house completely ad free; just need to get rid of the ads in apps and we'll be good to go.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t really see ads so I guess maybe that’s why I’m not so fatigued. As someone who loves decorating for holidays, I was ecstatic about fifteen years ago when decorations for holidays other than Christmas started getting a lot more elaborate and numerous. I buy a little bit more each year. But I skip over the cheap plastic shit and instead focus on creative decorating so that even if I have the same stuff as others, it doesn’t seem like it. I’d love to say I decorate so neighborhood kids enjoy it but really they only like the cheap plastic shit. If I bought 20 inflatables for Christmas I’d be the most popular neighbor. I own zero inflatables because they’re ugly and overpriced and fragile and require me to interact with them frequently. I have a homemade sleigh with 8 reindeer made out of plywood, instead. I put a mannequin in a Santa suit in it. My Halloween decorations are extremely popular but only with adults. A homemade demon (using a Walmart costume) and scary fence and a bunch of graves. The graves are the same mass produced ones everyone else has but I present them as a graveyard with dead flowers in a grave vase, skeleton arms reaching up from the ground, a ghost floating up from another.

Sorry. I have Big Feelings about this. I actually agree with you but also think there’s room for people like me who enjoy doing creative things with holiday decorations.

I'm tired of Valentine's Day because if they were at all honest they'd call it You're A Big Fucking Loser If You're Not in a Couple Day.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

I dislike it, but I'm used to it. I work in retail and we have a "seasonal" section that rotates basically every month. These commercialized holidays are manufactured, but the days blurred together, I don't notice anymore...

I enjoy seeing things on clearance after the big day, though. I've gotten Christmas candy and a cute plush for less than 50 cents. Hopefully the remaining cute Valentine's Day stuff will be 75% off on the 15th... I'm looking forward to that one passing, because I've been single for a few years now. Sigh.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

I used to get excited for Halloween shopping when there was the odd thing to buy - but now like you said its over done and mostly pretty wasteful. I use to like getting the cute stickers, clothes and maybe seasonal kitchenware, but not only is the stuff usually badly made or uninteresting - but by the time the actual holiday is about to arrive, they start clearing it out and start prepping for the next holiday after.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

I love having my Easter basket out and a few decorative bunny things, but it's a wire one my mom bought me years ago and I have all sorts of ceramic and stone eggs in it (but I put candy on top). Same fake grass as 15 years ago, too.

We don't really decorate for anything else except a cute felt banner over the fireplace and lamps and a metal wreath on Halloween for the porch, and the Xmas stuff.

Same stuff every year. No plastic crap.

Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

Same. This is likely why I don't really engage with holidays like I used to. Most holidays now are time off work to rest if I get the holiday off. If I don't, I usually treat it like any other day. I don't even really get into the decorations and entertainment anymore.

I used to enjoy spending October and November watching scary movies or Halloween/Thanksgiving themed movies/shows. But ever since the late 2010s, Halloween began to feel commercial and fake like Christmas, and I secretly wish to have quiet Thanksgivings alone (one day soon, i hope).

Agreed that even small holidays have lost their charm.

Based on 1: multi-generational households?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you live in one? If so, do you like it? Would you be open to living that way?

Re: Based on 1: multi-generational households?

[(Anonymous)]

I would love to live in a multi-generational household, but my mother and grandmother refuse to leave Oklahoma and I refuse to go back.
