@alyssa @aescling maybe a bit of both? i think with writing it would be less person-oriented and more just like “hey. this is a fun scene, it’s supposed to be fun, i’m having fun with it.”

and not to say writers don’t have fun with their sexy scenes, but i never see it used specifically as a pacing device to break up the intensity, and that kind of pacing is something i do think is important in written smut

@aescling this is something i recently had to research because at work we have this same problem

@aescling rebase starts from the last common commit which will be basically the fork point in our case

rebase --onto b a only rebases the changes since a onto the branch b

@aescling oh you probably need to use rebase --onto trunk commit-you-rebased-from-last-time

@aescling the thing is that these moments i think are arguably threatening to the fourth wall; they work because you know that these are two actors getting paid to have sex and you as a viewer naturally want to dismantle the professionalism a bit (because it’s [probably] not as hot) and seeing them a little more joyful or casual and not necessarily playing their role with 100% seriousness helps to break that ice

in literature, generally speaking, that kind if self-aware contesting of the medium is still very much not in vogue; everything gets played extremely straight

@aescling in acted porn, this is going to sound a bit obvious but assuming there isn't a compelling kink reason otherwise, the viewer generally probably wants to know (at least some viewers) that the people involved are like, actually having fun. little moments of joy or playfulness in between the heavy sex scenes can pull a lot of weight in making the sex actually seem appealing and attractive as opposed to just like, ew why am i watching these randos shag

this is the device i’m talking about that i don’t see deployed much in written porn

i think it requires more self-awareness than most smut authors are willing to grant their fics

almost everybody who writes porn is very bad at it and of the good porn i have read it did not involve a similar device that i can recall

Show thread

thinking about the role of moments of joy in porn and what the literary equivalent might be

@witchfynder_finder are we at least taking them away from the cops then

@noelle i was watching a chinese romantic drama and it made reference to a spongebob squarepants episode from like the eighth season that i’m pretty sure i have never seen and i felt very dated

@noelle well the first few seasons are good but then they kept making them and i went away to college

@aescling you will be able to buy games that way i think until the final eshop closure next march

@aescling if you have linked your eshop account to your nintendo account then funds are shared across consoles

@aescling you can still buy eshop games just not with your credit card via the wii u

me, after spending all morning criticizing ⸺: was it what you expected
