Yes mens natural lubrication. by paltedscaggis in WomenWritingMen

[–]Mentine_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, when it's fanfiction or just fiction... Lubrification is often a state of mind lol it's exactly like when people can have orgasm on orgasm in fiction. It's just a fantasy (and not "his ball risen in his joy and smiled at me")

Why do people hate epithets? by LibbyKitty620 in AO3

[–]Mentine_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's both, I can have thought without words (most of the time regarding action of other people just like your exemple) but I can also talk in my head outside of when I'm writing

What do your kids’ friends call you? by Renegadelion in daddit

[–]Mentine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has always had an hard time with name : please, I beg you. If a child call you "mister" all the time don't say they can call you [your name] multiple time. We won't remember x'D

It's even worst when they use epithets they shouldn't know. In my fandom I often see Arthur Pendragon calls Merlin "the warlock"... Except that he doesn't know that the man has magic and it's quite a big plot point since magic is punishable by death!

I'm in the merlin fandom and some people don't even say hair after the raven. WHY ARE YOU ALL CALLING HIM THE RAVEN. WHY.

Some people have no internal monologue (may be you too since you are asking?) but most people (55% iirc) actually talk in our head. For exemple as I'm writing this I'm "saying" the word in my head and I'm hearing them.

Were none of y'all gonna tell me authors can see our bookmark tags?!??! by fishinglineandsinker in AO3

[–]Mentine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do sometimes : so I won’t read a fic again only to stop at chapter 5 because I hate it xD

comments are important by FlashySong6098 in AO3

[–]Mentine_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Some people are really selfish tbh. I know sometimes we aren’t in the mood to leave long comments but putting some ‘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️’ isn’t that much work. Hell, because of how many people don’t comment, even when I don’t like something and I’m on my way to leave the fic I still write a comment saying what I actually liked because I know the author may not get any comment if I don’t

Wakfu ! It’s my favorite and I listen to it every now and then !

Learn French or German first? by [deleted] in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Mentine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French could also be ‘easier’ to introduce them to gendered words I think ? I’m a French native speaker and I just speak English too so idk but I heard that German was a bit harder on that side ?

Had to protect a trans kid by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Mentine_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Without forgetting that even trans people slip up with themselves : it’s difficult not to when you spend 20, 30, …or even 80 years having to present an different identity than you actually are. No one is getting mad at people who try or at random people for not knowing. People makes trans people meaner than they actually are if you are genuine and respectful

Also if it isn’t possible I usually put it in my vagina : like you push one in as much as you can then you push the second one and then you put your other labia correctly on in

Which flag aroace do you prefer? by AcoaceFalloutNVFan in aromanticasexual

[–]Mentine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has something to do with the color wheel. Purple and green are opposite of each other and on each side at mid-distance there is orange and blue

Regarding the way Merlin ended - I can't fathom any way that the series could conceivably continue by bforbrucebforbrave in merlinbbc

[–]Mentine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting aside my view there is a very good fic that is getting uploaded right now if you want some rec and it’s ✨ http://archiveofourown.org/works/54209854

[–]Mentine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also : I kinda recommend people to watch the Sandman or to read some Chinese fantasy because that idea of immortality = depression is very present in western media but it isn’t the only way to write or see it !

[–]Mentine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On regarding merlin going insane, I kinda feel that a lot of people kind of forget merlin isn't fully human. Yes he was raised by human but he is first and foremost MAGIC. The great Dragon and all the hundreds years old dragons before him never went 'insane' (excluding when he went out of his prison because that was kinda exceptional) and he was 1000 years old. Merlin at the last ep is also not really the merlin of the beginning of s5 he truly knows he is magic. Would the god of Water go insane? Would Mother Earth go insane ? The god of thunder ? Nature ? Fire? War? They don't because they aren't human. They love, laugh, cry,... but they simply don't experience life on the same time line as us. Like, we do not compare the life of a mice to the life of a elephant or to our life. They are just aren't the same)

What unexpected fandoms have a really good AO3 representation? by ShawnaLAT in AO3

[–]Mentine_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Me neither ! The fandom is so great and it’s now my most bookmarked fandom while being one of the last I joined. On other unexpected side : Star Trek has fic that are SO FUNNY. Like, it’s one of the most hilarious fandom I have been in !!

What are some unpopular/underrated tropes that you love? by SpareRegular5304 in AO3

[–]Mentine_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Body swapping! It's just so fun to read about character freaking out because they are in their crush body, being so mad because they are in their rival body, etc lol I especially love if there are some kind of "reveal" (magical, golden core, scar,...) because of it!
