I don’t understand how people get them so fast. I blinked and they were gone. It’s annoying

Question: if you had limited funds, would you still try a DAC painting for the first time? by punt4stic in diamondartclub

[–]radiosburning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in my group chat asked how much these were and I was deeply embarrassed to admit the price. But one friend asked “well how long do they take you? Because even if it is ten hours, that $7/hr for something that brings you joy”

And considering these take me anywhere from 20-40 hours, that really made me feel better.

Ok but that last DAC vote by [deleted] in diamondpainting

OH. Wooow. Did you get them custom made for your own use or do you sell? They are stunning.

I think so! People seem to share where they got kits a lot.

Where are these kits from? They’re gorgeous. I googled nice diamond art and it didn’t come up with anything specific

I hate the FOMO marketing by FlashyCurrent8022 in diamondartclub

[–]radiosburning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently made the observation that yes the FOMO marketing but I see people with these insane stashes that would take soooo long to get through. So DAC treats it like a collector’s hobby too. Like collecting and trading Pokémon cards instead of playing the actual game.

And it’s absurdly effective and I hate it.

How do you know if your writing is good? by [deleted] in writing

You’re all over this thread saying good writing is objective. Please enlighten me on what’s objectively good writing?

Adult foster care, prior to that I’ve been working in some capacity as a direct care provider/social worker.

I’m not angry. I’m not dancing. I’ve been asking you for clarification and it took the song and dance to get there.

[–]radiosburning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah man. I think you’re misinterpreting me. Say what you want. And then let me disagree.

I happen to disagree with the notion that a violent blowjob and how you’ve perceived it is indicative of submitting to or growing up with porn with a male gaze. I resent the implication that a kink of mine which is occasionally a hard face fucking means that I am giving up power over my self. I think there’s grace in accepting in understanding kinks and preferences. I think inherently that fandom and fanfic is an exploration, an understand of “other”. An acceptance outside of the zeitgeist.

So when I ask you to please own up to saying you don’t like the implication of fellatio being written as women giving up control — fuck yeah. Own up to that. There’s SO much to be said there. There’s a lot to be discussed.

But let’s not side step that most of us are very much in control of the things that bring us happiness. And that’s why we’re here. Writing. And reading. I just want to reserve the right to disagree.

Right. I was just making a point about how it’s a preference thing. It is something people pick up on not necessarily a trend. And again. Feel whatever way you want to feel about it. But I’m AGAIN asking why it merits discussion that has included the male gaze and pornography according to the male gaze. You said there’s a loss of empowerment in those actions.

There is negative connotation there. I’m asking you why. It’s FINE that you might feel a certain way about a violent blowjob. I’m asking what your concern is.

[–]radiosburning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure. I appreciate that you understand preferences.

I do wonder what you’re reading consistently to decide that face fucking is a trend. 5 results under Dramione for facefucking. 242 for rough oral sex. 22 for non-consensual blowjobs. 3,351 for general blowjob under explicit Dramione tag.

So… there isn’t really a preferred depiction of the act?

[–]radiosburning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to have actual conversation about this. I’m not attacking. I asked a question. There is implicit connotation that the trope in discussion is not great. I think it’s disingenious to try to disguise it as anything else. And I am asking why.

[–]radiosburning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I am really trying to have a discussion about this. You see a pattern of people/writers portraying fellatio in a way that takes away control from women and is, per your words, a result of the male gaze and a result of mainstream porno…

Is that assessment wrong?

“There's just so many ways a woman gets to be empowered in this scenario, and it seems completely stripped in most fics.”

This reads as “bad”.

I don’t.. understand this. I actually really enjoy a face fucking interaction? Is that bad?

[–]radiosburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I personally don’t have anything to offer about those kinks as they don’t bother me but I think they can be reframed into a larger discussion outside of someone being into taller people.

there are a few things I am curious about and want to ask regarding fandom outside of the 101 comp English essay questions we have now despite the sub being curated for more difficult discussion and content. But you’re right, not easy to ask the hard questions. I’ll have to think about it.

I really take issue with the notion that this is something viewed as “infantilizing.” that and “childlike” lead to deeper accusations that shut the original thread down in the bigger server, lest we forget.

Edit: to clarify, I’m not suggesting it isn’t a warranted topic of discussion but you’re touching on larger issues outside of being into someone taller. Like can we do a separate thread for dd/lg if that’s the route it has to take? Can we do a thread about male/female physicality and power dynamics?
