@aescling unfortunately some days i have work
day of pondering #cats
@noelle in this case i’m reading https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/texas-shooting-uvalde-school-police-response-1.6468355 and my brain is just going THATS NOT HOW YOU SAY THAT HERE
@aescling this is just a muppets skit
@aescling is this like minecraft villager speech noises
@alyssa @aescling usually instead what (bad) authors do is try to break up the scene with sincerity, like characters looking each other deeply in the eyes and saying how beautiful they are or how much they love each other, and i think this is almost always a terrible choice imo, it’s just alternating between one kind of intensity and another
@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
