Quite apart from whether their arguments are correct, the main problem I have with kink-critical and porn-critical feminism is that their definitions of “kink” and “porn” feel *really* weird to me.

I would say that I’m kinky and that I consume porn. And I think it’s reasonable of me to define these terms in ways that cover me (what terms should I use, if not these?). But I’m not into pain and I’m not into power exchange (let alone non-con) and I’m not into video, so I end up in this unnerving grey area where people *appear* to oppose me, but none of the reasons they give for *why* they oppose me actually *apply* to me, so do they oppose me or not?

Like, am I vanilla-by-default in their worldview, not being into the things they define as “kink”? In what universe do *I*, of all people, qualify as vanilla?

(…maybe the universe I encountered in this post?)

Okay, so do vampires drink from arteries or veins or both? Asking for a friend.

This guy is the Gordon Ramsey of blood.

“THIS BLOOD HAS SO MUCH FUCKING ACID IN IT, I’M SEEING TECHNICOLOR DEMONS!!!”

 

aquaburst07:

Are we sure this guy isn’t actually a vampire? I mean, he seems to know his stuff too well…

😂

If he’s a vampire, I want to meet him 😂

Also, I have acquired a new appreciation for AO3’s download function, which is great at facilitating archiving.

And I have acquired a new opposite-of-appreciation for fanfiction.net, which goes so far the other direction that you are *not allowed to copy text from a fic*. I did a couple of small fics by *going into the page source*, finding the fic *there*, pasting it into a LibreOffice document, and *manually replacing the br tags with line breaks* (there was probably some way to automate that last bit). Then I hit upon the solution of simply saving the entire page as an HTML file, which seems to have worked. Good: I was not looking forward to manually inserting line breaks in Chanson de Geste.

is what I personally use to copy/paste things from sites that don’t want me to. It doesn’t work on all sites, but it works on a lot of them.

Ooh, this looks promising. Thank you!

Bugs Bunny could singlehandedly defeat Thanos by dressing up as a TSA agent and setting up a metal detector in the middle of the battlefield saying that all metal objects must be removed if you want to pass on through now stick around for my 2,000 word essay on just how effectively he would convince The Mad Titan to comply

“For shame, doc! Dontcha know we got other folks waiting?”

(Thanos looks behind him and sees dozens of Bugs Bunnies dressed as angry yelling travelers with huge bags of luggage. Thanos rubs his neck guiltily and begins sliding off the gauntlet)

Nobody expected you to draw T. Hanos himself in the Looney Tunes artstyle but you absolutely fucking delivered
