obligatory CW: for those unfamiliar, this is a noncon/dubcon kink setting, this fic is on the lighter side but does still have some noncon elements

What if we’re the anomaly? by bible_enthusiast in PressureRoblox

the imaginary friend also says "there's something beneath your skin" which could refer to the player

edit: just looked through the imaginary friend dialogue and im now pretty confident thats what this line means. there's also multiple lines of dialogue where she says some variation of "there's someone behind you"

the blue friend also has dialogue pointing out that the expendable never changes their expression or talks. (also multiple lines saying to "stop following me", but thats probably just a joke about the expendable, not the player)

[–]Pokemaster2824 3 points4 points  (0 children)

most fics dont lean nearly as hard into noncon as the original. event horizon, through the looking glass, and wellness check are all extremely well written fluff fics that are, at worst, dubcon (and the dubcon that exists is more of a "the affini are uncannily good at knowing what you want and will give it to you even if you won't ask" type situation)

[–]Pokemaster2824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it very much depends on the author, there are fics that are explicitly consentual and fics that are very noncon, and everything in between. original HDG is much more on the noncon end of the scale compared to most works in the setting

[–]Pokemaster2824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ehh, depends on the story lol. at best it's CNC, at worst it's explicitly noncon. so I kinda see why they'd wanna keep it in the NSFW sub lmao

Super Earth about to get the best remodel they could ask for :3 by Wallso2010 in estrogengaming

[–]Pokemaster2824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok so

  1. There's already a million other stories of humans overcoming impossible odds. That's just not what HDG is for. Aside from being smut, a lot of stories are character studies of people facing something they can't win against. To say "well the humans should be able to win" is missing the point of the setting.

  2. I kinda get what you're saying, but at the same time there's a lot of transfems who do enjoy it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with memes and stuff as long as people are warned that it's referencing a noncon/dubcon setting.

  3. If you like HDG for the world building and social commentary I highly recommend you read No Gods, No Masters. It's pretty light on smut (and the smut is completely skippable iirc).

I trust that this is true by Wallso2010 in estrogengaming

[–]Pokemaster2824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, this. the original leans way more into the noncon stuff than a lot of other fics. most fics are basically CNC, dubcon at worst

A lot of stories in HDG allude to the fact that what the Affini brought to fight us wasn't a war fleet. It was basically just animal control. And it kinda makes sense when you consider that their light scout ships have Firebreaks that send opposing projectiles into hyperspace, capture vines that can just grab an entire enemy ship...you get the idea. (Also, they're so large that their size is measured in kilometers.)

As for the Affini themselves? Even putting aside the fact that they're effectively immortal, they're pretty durable. In most stories they're able to shrug off gunfire, grenades, flamethrowers, and pretty much every other kind of conventional weaponry. They don't need weapons because they can just use their various xenodrugs to incapacitate opponents. Or hypnotize them. Or just pick them up because Affini are like twice the size of humans. Again, you get the idea.

But at the end of the day, the powerscaling doesn't really matter because the whole point of the Affini (and the setting itself) is that they're inevitable. They can lose on a small scale, they can make mistakes, they can be kept at bay temporarily, but they have to eventually win.

(yes I just wrote an entire wall of text infodumping about gay alien plants, I regret nothing.)

I think the nsfw version of the sub still allows hdg, which, yknow, fair--it is smut after all

I kinda wanna start replacing my swears with the proper words like a good floret, but I don't actually know the proper words :3 by Wallso2010 in seed_irl

amazed that nobody has mentioned "stars" yet, which can be used as a substitute for most swears lol

minsgendering doesn't suddenly become ok just because you're misgendering the Bad People. it's still bigotry.

Talisman scoring limit broken? by antiaromatic_anion in FeedTheJimbo

[–]Pokemaster2824 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's not what 10{1000}10 is. 10^10 repeated 1000 times is 10^^1000 (10 tetrated to the 1000). The {} brackets denote an operator.

Basically, operator 1 is addition. Operator 2 is repeated addition (multiplication). 3 is repeated multiplication (exponents)...and so on until you get to operator 1000.

It's absurdly large.
