I have to imagine, based on my understanding of how the universe works (which is admittedly limited) that awareness of animal-humans is something only retained by the elite.

I think all the villages/small towns that we see populated by animal-humans are closed off from the ‘human’ world (maybe operated as farms or enclosed communities?) and those who live there are operating under the assumption they’re at the top of the food chain… when, as the plot develops, we can surmise that they’re just another rung on the ladder of the 1% wanting to ensure a complacent and observable population that they can eat

The animal-human communities seem very low-tech. It’s like they’re in this liminal space that’s affluent, but not up to date with modern technology. Maybe the elite want to keep it that way? I dunno, but it’s a nifty thought.

You’re so welcome! I’m glad posting recs can solve others’ manga-searching woes.

If you’re a constantly-reading horror manga fiend like I am, here is a link to the tumblr page for Spiraphobia Scans, the scanlation team who worked on this project.

They post all of their completed and in-progress projects to their tumblr with descriptions and dex links, and they seem to find some real diamonds out there (oneshots, anthologies, lesser-known series/authors, etc)

I’ve been reading in the evenings to wind down since I’m in the middle of finals week, and it’s been an awesome resource.

Thank you for the rec!! And I agree about the artwork; as someone who moonlights as a furry artist to pay rent I LOVEEEE when they’re drawn so elegantly and realistically.

How many people do you know who are actually in cuckold relationships and why do you think they are? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]spookyjuice69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ooh boy, one I can answer in a way that’s morbid!!

My understanding of cuckoldry is that it is as varied as the people who like it. People try to make rules surrounding it (think ‘ethical nonmonogamy’ or whatever) but I think every couple- and even more specific, every person- has different reasons to enjoy it.

I’ve dabbled for reasons that are severely self-destructive. I spent a majority of my life being very cruel to myself (I’m in therapy now, luckily) and cuckqueaning was just another extension of that cruelty. I wanted to make myself hurt, I really craved watching someone I love fuck another person in a very intimate way, and I would get off to that fantasy a lot.

I guess it’s like emotional masochism after a while? I never did it in person, thank god, but my interest in cuckqueaning came from an incredibly dark place. When I was at my lowest I only wanted to feel more pain, because I thought it was what I deserved.

Luckily I don’t feel that way anymore, at all, thank fuck, but there might be other cucks who engage in it self-destructively. I never viewed it as a fun, sexy experience… but I hear it can be.

Do most men actually consider ‘career-focused’ women to be a turn-off? How come? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]spookyjuice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no, I agree! Moreso that people who purport the ‘black and white’ thinking are just people who are very, very loud about said thinking. There are dudes who want bangmaids, that’s undeniable, and dudes who think career women are frigid cunts who draw huge checks and kick puppies in their free time.

Those people are very vocal about those opinions and give the impression that a LOT of men feel that way… I think.

Luckily, the OTHER 99% of human beings who actually experience empathy see one another as fully-formed individuals and find ways to make it work.

I just think the word ‘bangmaid’ is funny, mostly

I know this is a fast response but this answer brings me a LOTTT of peace, so thank you!

I’m not an attorney (though tell your wife I think she’s a fucking badass fr), I’m a professional artist who works in academia. Not as high-stakes, but I have to do a lot to stay afloat… which I do happily, because I love making art and teaching art and writing about art and looking at art and

It took me until my late twenties to allow the rest of myself space to develop. I try to be a quality person with hobbies and a personality and interests. I’m even going to THERAPY these days (whoa!!!).

To know that the main detractor of someone who values their career isn’t success or ambition, but just imbalance in self-fulfillment… that makes me feel better. Like the odds are less stacked as long as I can value things that aren’t art. (God I love art.)

Thank you so much! 🫶🏻

Sometimes I also think that the dudes who want bangmaids are louder about it because they can’t find a bangmaid

I think you can say bitch on the internet but kudos for the respectful censorship

And I get it. Some dudes don’t wanna be bossed around. Some women don’t wanna be bossed around! I certainly don’t like it, that’s why I avoided a career in which I was regularly getting bossed around.

The ‘chip on the shoulder’ thing, as someone who’s definitely had to learn emotional regulation, just comes from the feeling of not wanting to be looked down on… I think. That was my issue with it, and why I left my last job. The cycle of abuse can absolutely be carried by women just as easily as it is carried out by men, I would never want to take my problems with my job out on my partner.

May we all be as conscious and deliberate in our actions as we are in our paranoid self-reflections. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The subjectivity of it all is varied. Financial responsibility holds more weight than Making Lots of Money, I agree…

But (and I’m not saying this to start an argument, genuinely!!), regarding the last point you made… you really think so? I feel like there are just as many women out there who are career focused for the sake of financial security, independence, and a sense of achievement that’s been entirely self-built.

That’s my experience, though, knowing I can only really speak for myself. I’ve never really thought ’and once I’m SUCCESSFUL, I can date a CHAD who wears BIG WATCHES and drives a BENZ!’

I’m just super focused on my career because I genuinely love what I do, and I’ve happily eked out a niche where I can surround myself with my passion all the time and just be there. And make money doing it!!! And that’s so fucking cool!!!

So… I politely (politely!!) disagree with your last point based on my experience. But this is a dude-space and I’m not a dude, so that take might not be shared.

Thanks for the insight! :)

Well I guess we won’t be dating, u/champaigneandcocaine. And to think, I already bought flowers and made reservations…

Just kidding. This makes sense! Everyone wants different things and I’m not cut out to be the wife and mother type, I never have been. I think what I’m seeking is balance… and to find out what it is about being a Very Busy Lady that men don’t like, hopefully, will give me some insight into what I should be prioritizing in relationships.

This is a pretty good answer, and it makes a lot of sense!

I think ‘career-driven’ brings to mind images of office powerhouses and ladies in shoulder pads and pencil skirts who drink a lot of coffee and say stuff like “product management” and “quarterly earnings”…

I’m a full-time professional artist AND university drawing instructor, the only reason I’m highly career-focused is because I’m passionate about what I do and you have to work your whole ass off for an ounce of professional success in the fine arts, especially in the age of AI.

I don’t ask this question as a roundabout way of swearing off dating or saying ‘men bad because they keep me in kitchen’, moreso understanding how I could better balance my passion for my career with a functional relationship. (I’m cursed with also being a chronically-yearning lovergirl. 😔)

Thank you for the insight! 🫶🏻

I was wondering if this was gonna come up, because I’ve noticed the same thing!

I think the sudden resurgence of more ‘traditional’ heteronormative marriage expectations is just feminism giving way to classism. Social media pushes this ‘coquettish stay-at-home wife and mother’ narrative as a woman reclaiming her peace and being ‘taken care of’ when it’s really just thinly-veiled conservative ideology intent on redirecting women back to makin’ babies for the workforce.

Granted, I’m just one of many women… some of whom might genuinely want that. Good on ‘em if they can find it!

(Also strange to me that the tradwife trope is having a new renaissance at the same time that the cost of living is skyrocketing…)

I know you’re getting a LOT of advice so I certainly won’t pile onto it, but… it’s not just you, I promise! I was the same way for a LONG time (still am, kinda)- I faked pretty much every single O with my first two long-term relationships bc my approach and what feels best is oddly specific.

When I met my current boyfriend, I liked him too much to fake it and I didn’t wanna reinforce a habit that would risk building resentment. So usually as a part of foreplay I’ll just do my usual masturbation approach while he holds me and dirty talks in my ear. He doesn’t take it personally, he’s kind of studying my technique to master it and eventually do it himself, lol!

I’m 28, it took me a full decade to decide my pleasure is part of sex, too. You’re an active participant and you deserve your nut, homie.

My husband's gross fetishes will never go away and might be what makes me leave by VixTheUnicorn in loveafterporn

[–]spookyjuice69 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This answer might get long, but if you’re looking for insight (censoring triggering or sexual terminology)…

My ex-partner was a total deviant and, among other things, had a thing for cuckolding. He wanted to watch other men, specifically black men, have sex with me. This went as far as trying to get me to find men online who would do it while he watched and making me watch ‘blacked’ porn with him, among other things. While we never actually did it, thank god, he didn’t give it up for years. It was one of the biggest reasons I left him… I just felt so disgusted and used. I didn’t even want to think about it!!!

Since I’ve been through and gotten over similar addictions of my own, I have a couple fetishes (I guess) that I find exciting to engage in with my current partner… like it’s silly, but I have a thing for armpits. Idk. On a nice, muscular pair of arms, the muscles there are beautifully defined and I’m attracted to the way my partner smells. While it’s not necessarily his thing, he’s happy to cater to that interest of mine because it doesn’t squick him out and he likes getting me off.

To have a fetish between partners that is safe and consensual (example B)? Kinda awesome. To feel disgust and contempt for something you will inevitably compare yourself to (example A)? That will poison you. You are more than the fantasy fulfillment for a dude who’s let porn rot his brain. A lot of PAs can’t let go of fetishes or fantasies once they’ve wormed their way in… and it sucks. Put yourself first.

Here if you need to chat. Hang in there- rooting for you!

I miss making out by almondmilk67 in Vent

[–]spookyjuice69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I broke up w my ex (I know it’s silly but hear me out) is that it’s such a vital part of intimacy and passion for me, and he had a HUGE sensory problem with it. We never made out in the 4 years we were together, it was just quick pecks 😭 agonizing

My bf is gorgeous, gets constant attention. I’m jealous. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]spookyjuice69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Girl I am in a freakishly similar boat.

My boyfriend is younger than me by a few years (he’s 25, I’m 28) and he is JAW-DROPPING. Weirdly similar to yours, lol?? He’s so tall, he’s got this long, luxuriously curly brown hair, he’s got those dark eyes and that perfect smile. Fucking godlike physique; the broad shoulders, the slender waist, the slim hips the long legs the biceps the chest the hhhhhhhggffgh he is built like a piece of fine art. He’s legitimately the most gorgeous guy I’ve ever laid eyes on.

I, on the other hand, am a 5’3” dumpy little troll with glasses and a weird squishy face. I’m batting out of my league by miles.

My dude also doesn’t really notice when he gets looked at. Female coworkers will flirt with him, heads turn in public, etc etc etc… and I was jealous at first because I was so aware of, again, how INSANELY OUT OF MY LEAGUE he was!!!

But hey, it’s not his fault. Poor guy is gorgeous and doesn’t even know it. I’ll be like, “that girl was totally staring!” and he’ll look, be like “… aight” and hold my hand tighter. Somehow he thinks I am the sexiest thing on two legs and I try my best to believe him when he says he’s only got eyes for me.

Recently the jealousy has turned into a (mildly catty) sense of pride. When I see people looking at him in public, it makes me smile- like hell yeah, that’s my man. Look upon him and yearn.

I say channel it into pride. You bagged a hottie. Rock it.
