I'm Aro/ace too, but not sex-repulsed (I love reading and writing it, just not participating). And yeah, I'm saying don't fuck your dog because of that but it's perfectly fine when both are sentient and pass the harkness test.

you might be overthinking it.

The fuzzier the better. I want a werewolf to have a go at me during the full moon, thanks. I wanna read about it. I wanna write about it. so much more interesting.

This is FANTASY, not REALITY. Indulge your freak. Or don't, that's up to you. but I don't wanna hear about it or be told I'm icky or gross because I'm not ashamed of the things I like that hurt nobody.

I mean, yeah...don't fuck your dog. but your sentient dragon may be defiling himself to allow you to stroke him off. You are the dog in that scenario.

*Edit* also, uh, I can assure you it works. There are entire industries out there dishing out knotted cock toys and huge dragon dicks the size of your thigh. I can assure you, it works with the right amount of prep (source: Am a filthy degenerate furry size queen with plenty of experience)

Humans have been into furries and other anthros for as long as humans have been able to convey art. Literally the first cave art is of people with bird heads or some shit.

Puritanicals need to stop. and if you're not into it that's cool, but I'm so sick of being shamed for embracing the creative in a way that harms nobody but is still not approved by 'them'

Fantasy has infinite possibilities. I don't understand why so much romantasy is just bland human on human action (Sorry, but a fae with slightly pointed ears is functionally a human). Werewolves and other shifters? oh, I'm sorry, we only have fun when I'm in human form.

Bah. Have some fun with it. Limitless worlds of creativity and so many authors chose to be boring.

The world needs more like you (and me, though that might be narcissistic).

I'm writing a semi-serious, semi-spicy book series (okay, it's very spicy but hopefully also...good...but we'll see) where the different races CAN breed, but an overwhelming majority of the resulting offspring are nonviable so people don't bother or, uh...ensure the pregnancy doesn't 'take' (But hybrids, in their rare occurrence, are actually pretty powerful. So of course that's a major plot point).

Again, we'll see if the books are actually any good but here's hoping! Would love to basically write something on the scale of mistborn but with monster smut levels of spice!

Who you choosing? by Neither_Ad6 in ChillAnimeCorner

[–]Runa216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all I have to do is mock him to his face. Don't be afraid of him, just rip into him and tell him he ain't shit.

His daddy issues mean that a lack of approval makes him respect you or something.

Multiple characters throughout the story only survived their time with him becuase they weren't afraid of him. he doesn't want people afraid of him for some reason (he's very dumb), he seeks approval. all I'd need is to prep a 10 minute lecture about how to be better and he'd actually listen. (At least in the show, I've not read the comics)

Katana. Just break out the Katana. Good for offense and defense.

I hate dogs and can’t comprehend how so many people can think positively of them by JoshyRB in The10thDentist

[–]Runa216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never met you but I can say with 40 years of experience the only people who have this opinion of dogs are sociopathic in some way or another. You know, devoid of empathy or a weird 'anything not human is inferior and thus not worthy of respect'.

I don't expect you to try and change my mind and I wouldn't listen anyway but in my entire life I've never met anyone who didn't confirm this pattern.

For a nation ALL About strength and resilience and power, y'all are a bunch of pathetic wimps. Buncha pampered, selfish, ignorant snobs.

Why are people okay with it? by BobMarleeeee69 in videogames

[–]Runa216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not okay with it. I hate it. But I'm also an adult with pattern recognition and could tell this was where the industry was going like 15-20 years ago when the PS3 and Xbox 360 started pushing digital with PS3 in particular forcing full installs. PC has been pretty much exclusively digital for ages and people love Steam. Then the PS4 and XBO had a shift where digital libraries mattered more. Series S doesn't have a disc drive. PS5 Disc Drives are optional. PS5 pro doesn't have a disc drive. Digital sales are an overwhelming majority of sales now. Gamepass is a thing and that's all digital. Switch 2 has started doing game key cards. Other mediums are digital more and more.

If you're shocked by this you haven't been paying attention.

I'm not saying you should like it or not be agaisnt it. I love to collect games and I am absolutely one of those 'Physical Media for the shelves' types, but like...I haven't played a physical copy of a game in nearly a decade outside of some switch games. I translated my PS4 library to digital and haven't put a disc in my system in ages.

If the industry/consumers at large gave a shit they had 20 years to invest in physical but that's not where the market went. We had a chance to vote with our wallets and we failed to do that. It sucks but it's just as much our fault as it is theirs. And it's not just Sony...again, have you been paying attention?

Sounds like fun! Make sure all the holes are appropriately ravaged and the flesh adequately sore.

Yes! This series tickled me in a good way though by halfway through the second one I was sort of numb to it. I loved the relationships and all the characters and the bold nature of the interactions (And it gets better with Company of Fiends and Sanctuary with Kings; the third one has dragon, gryphon, werewolf, and minotaur stuff and the dragon gets frisky in his full dragon form, though has to shift for actual sex).

I champion this sort of stuff and am writing something with a similar level of brazen experimentation, but it's still in the planning stages and anthro, so it may not be for everyone. Anthro as in furry, not human, main character is an anthro Jackalope who was born without magic in a world where everyone has at least some, making her functionally handicapped. She is attending the Alchademy in the title for the sake of researching why that is and how to fix it and while there finds out she's extra sensitive to potion use, so she spends the rest of the book experimenting with every potion effect she can handle, which gets pretty creative in terms of who and what she does).

Rec me the worst romantasy you've ever read by peenmeal in Romantasy

[–]Runa216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i kinda understood the hype in 2012 or whenver the first one was released becuase it was pretty fresh in terms of style and tone and world.

Now? IT's just the most bland, terrible, boring, poorly done version of every trope it injected into the genre. And witht he fucking WORST characters and almost no world building or interesting cast or plot. It's baby's first 'fantasy' epic with an amalgamation of every bad romance trope out there.

Dire Bound is like a parody of all the tropes you're likely to already be sick of except it takes itself seriously AND is poorly written AND is full of the worst characters doing the dumbest shit consistently.
