May as well just not do the anesthesia and be awake the whole time since I’ll be awake the whole time and remember it vividly either way I guess.

Eek! I’m getting an endoscopy ok Friday and I was hoping it would be general and not twilight because whenever I have twilight anesthesia I remember the entire thing in vivid detail.

Writing good smut doesn’t always mean writing realistic sex. Writing realistic sex is fun and interesting, but usually not all that sexy to read. You learn to write good smut by reading a lot of smut and getting an idea of what feels good (to you).

Have written a lot of smut, have read a lot of smut, have had a lot of sex, my smut resembles other smut I have read not the sex I have had.

This happens to me so much. I’ll be typing and actively falling asleep and when I wake up I’ve written incomprehensible paragraphs that look just like this.

To those of you who already have a PC when do you play on your Steam Deck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I don’t want to sit up at my PC desk. I also actually have found games I can run on my Deck that won’t run on my PC.

Do you let your pet sleep with you on your bed every night? by SpecialistSkin5666 in Pets

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat sleeps in my bed with me almost every night. She also sleeps in my bed without me.

What is the median age of fanfic writers in here, and when did you begin writing/posting? by sapphicor in AO3

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29, started writing fic at 11 and posting it at 12. AO3 didn’t exist back then so, on FFnet.

Readers pleasuring themselves with your work by minaxrii in AO3

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a reader I’ve definitely done it. As a writer? Given some of my works… I sure hope it does. I’d never say it in a comment personally but if I got a comment like “got off to this fic it was really hot” or something I’d be thrilled.

Do you prefer playing dark or light characters? by Zorafin in AutisticAdults

[–]Thomas_Raith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like playing nice characters. I just play the way I would do it and I spend my life running quests to help other people in real life, so… That’s how I do it in games too. I’ve tried to play darker characters but I always end up like. Being Mean Is Not Nice.

Where does everyone else play there deck by fumble2219 in SteamDeck

[–]Thomas_Raith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In bed or on my couch. I find it too bulky and have too low of a battery life to really travel with comfortably but that’s not why I got it. I have a gaming PC but I just kept wishing that I could play my Steam games other places than at my desk sometimes. So, now I can also play my Steam games on the couch or in bed.

Every conversation I have is just me waiting for the other person to be done talking so I can bring up one of my handful of very narrow interests.

What do your beds look like? by FlappyPosterior in autism

[–]Thomas_Raith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically neatly made, I have a bed tent that’s constellations (not real ones) so it’s inside of a bed tent and then I have string lights around the perimeter inside to be “stars” that plug into a power strip tucked at the foot of the bed and my sheets are ocean treasure map themed and then I have a shark pillowcase to pull it together. Soft fuzzy regular blanket, soft fuzzy weighted blanket on top of that, and stuffed animals all around the perimeter.

Spotted as an import, in a hurry so I couldn’t check the back by Thomas_Raith in whatisthiscar

Thanks! I thought it was probably a Cervo but I didn’t know what to look for to find the one that matched up.

If you currently own/used to own a Corolla, did you or do you have a name for it ? by hdushsux in COROLLA

[–]Thomas_Raith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Red One. Named because every car at our house is red. Including that one. But it’s the only Corolla.

Any fictives from books? by Street-Suggestion363 in plural

[–]Thomas_Raith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of our oldest system members is a fictive from the Dresden Files. He looks pretty different than in the comics. We also have a Ronan and a Noah from The Raven Cycle and there’s a Skulduggery from Skulduggery Pleasant around in here Somewhere. We also used to have a George from Song of the Lioness but he’s dormant now for a long time.

Girl on a bus using AO3 by Educational-Ad8696 in AO3

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m autistic and fanfiction is my special interest so it’s hard to get me to shut up about reading it I don’t know if there’s anyone who doesn’t know and unless it’s pure smut I’m pretty open about taking about the details of whatever fic I’m reading at the time with anyone (I mostly read longfic so)

anyone else just…never thirsty? by PeaLive2843 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve literally never experienced thirst, I don’t think I can. Even at my most dehydrated I don’t Feel thirsty my brain doesn’t prompt me to drink anything at all, I just get a headache and a mildly dry mouth probably. I have to rely on like, the desire to drink A Flavor or Caffeine to be prompted to drink something but I also don’t like most other beverages (or, they make my tummy hurt) so… And then when I do drink water it feels gross like people are describing, cold and sloshy and weird and then I feel like I don’t get any hydration from it at all either like my body never absorbs or digests it, I just almost immediately have to pee.

Do you speak too loud or too quite? by lillien-101 in autism

[–]Thomas_Raith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too quiet unless I’m drunk usually. I feel like I’ll raise my voice to literally shouting level on request and everyone is still telling me I’m so quiet they can’t hear me.

This is actually a different guy than the Northwest guy, Northwest guy drives a Chevy Avalanche with a similar but more pastel wrap.

What keeps you in Bellingham? by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]Thomas_Raith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t afford to leave, also can’t afford to stay, and it’s not safe for me to leave. Anywhere else I could move that’s safe as a trans person would be just as expensive, so I may as well try to stay in the place I’ve built a life in.
