sometimes in public spaces i find myself really worried about what people will think of me because of something i'm writing... and then im like, maybe im the one making it a big deal because im aware of it

for example, in this smut thread i had the character talk about what 'a woman's body' is, and as a trans person im Super Aware of all the connotations behind a phrase like that

but at the same time i feel like this is something that would be logical for the character given the setting he grew up in

and then with the context there's something sexy/kinky about it...

This is why I like sandboxes, honestly. (Not that I'm not in two games right now)

but watching the way dwrp culture has shifted around i just have this little insidious voice in my head that's like Someone Is Gonna Call You Out and then You'll Have To Explain

and it's like

skipthedemon: YEAH like that's a good thing about writing with just people you know in a secure space because it's like. i know the other person understands where im coming from??

i totally know what you mean... i think the ic/ooc divide helps, we aren't our characters and if it's from an ic perspective, it makes sense

i feel like i had this same thought during a tag i wrote the other day with itachi... clasps your hand

yeah right?? i think it's gotta be some like, carried over learned habit from people coming for the asses of anyone playing something that could be considered problematic

or a character with old fashioned ideas, like suddenly that means you endorse it

god.. purity culture or w/e... rolls my eyes

which is stupid but... obviously not everyone gets it

YEAH LMAO

im glad im not the only one who thinks of this

i spent a year in twitter fandom so i actually think dwrp is pretty good about not being insane about purity culture... at least lately i've met a lot of fellow Problematiques

twitter fandom is so toxic, it's true

PROBLEMATIQUES

a lot of ppl get gunshy about writing smut in public in general though, that's why i like keeping stuff in journals more...

dude yeah i've seen that in periphery just from following bands of artists

on twitter i mean, that shit is exhausting

i'm definitely one of those gunshy people LMAO

JUST TUCK IT IN YOUR JOURNAL MAN THEN PPL LITERALLY HAVE TO GO LOOKING

like totally have done public smut rp but i'm always super aware of how and what im writing

That's On Them... so long as you and your partner are chill with what's happening ain't nobody's business

the Thread Bedroom if u will

YEAH

thread bedroom LGLHKJJLF

If you ever want to swap over to journals for porn, that's fine with me! I have another person who prefers to do it that way, so just let me know

scry: !!
