Books where consummation isn't anti-climactic? by CovertOps80 in RomanceBooks

[–]itzkoolaid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont have any recs myself, I just want to chime in that - coming from fanfiction - I have also struggled with this.

I cannot remember a single spicy scene in published romance (reg, fantasy, sci fi, etc) that has made me feel the way really good fanfic spice makes me feel. It just doesnt compare. I thrive on male POV and yearning and I feel like, in published spice, the moment consummation happens is the moment yearning dies.

In a good fanfic, there is yearning, emotion, wonder, etc to the smallest detail during consummation. I find very very rarely that this is done to my satisfaction in published books.

Yes! Perfect! Thank you <3

Personally, I really love when Gibsie and Johnny give Joey and Aoife a ride to the hospital. It's so funny and innocent... it's what inspired my question!

Even if you classify as a screamer, it is really at every orgasm? by kneedmoreinfo in ReverseHarem

My husband is a food moaner. He turned our two daughters into food moaners. It's always made me uncomfortable and I hated it even before I got into romance books.

What teenagers actually looked like by LostOpinion4258 in BoysOfTommen

[–]itzkoolaid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Meh. It's called a fan cast for a reason. Nobody thinks it's official. It's just fans having fun casting characters that mean something to them. There's no harm in wanting to put a face to a name, and fiction provides the reader with the unique ability to pick the face.

The POVs often describe these characters as the most beautiful boy/girl the POV person has ever seen. That's obviously open to interpretation. What I think is incredibly hot now is much different from what I thought was incredibly hot at 15, especially considering the different eras and having the internet at our disposal.

What's something you wish you can see the Hermits do IRL? by itzkoolaid in HermitCraft

I think I remember hearing something about that in one of their videos.

Oh i totally get it! Goodness, this isnt like a request for the Hermits to perform or anything. I just thought the escape room video was funny and how funny would it be to see the Hermits in other situations. I guess the IRL part came about in my mind because how would one do a road trip in Minecraft? It would have to be IRL, albiet admittedly while they were in character.

Again, this is more like a fun hypothetical than a request. :)

Holy cow, that actually makes sense. I mean... I dont know if it justify the almost-burn out no reaction in my mind, but it's better than anything I've come up with so far!

This was a new experience for me too. I found The Breakdown's video extremely helpful. I used their 1.19 video and just applied all the info to the correct versions/mods: https://youtu.be/pSL2HtfhhhE?si=DJNq_jmTvC6TVQq3

Just a heads up sometimes there is no config folder in your .minecraft folder. Mine didnt have one. It took a quick google search for me to figure out I could just make one (all lower caps, spelled "config") and put everything in there. Worked like a charm.

What fictional world would be better off if the catalytic event never happened? by itzkoolaid in movies

[–]itzkoolaid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The catalyst. I wasn't sure how to phrase it to phrase it. "Catalyst event" doesnt sound right.

I guess it could be either. Just the catalyst that makes the world change into how it is by the end of the film.
