part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

[aphanon_meme]

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

Perhaps...

[Nervously looks around the room.]

...a-are you available one day next week? Next Monday or Tuesday?

[doucheland]

[takes a moment to remember his schedule]

I'll be busy for the whole day on Monday but I think I could try and take the afternoon off for Tuesday if I worked overtime the night before.

Very well, we can do it on Tuesday! I'll make sure the reservations are done by tonight.

If you want...you don't really have to wear anything special. I wouldn't want to impose on you since you live quite a distance. [Booking a flight and all.]

Re: Smut you want to see/write/rp

omg, yes

I can see Denmark being very... attentive and affectionate. And taking it slowly. And doing everything he can think of to leave Norway happy and satisfied, because he knows that his 1600s self wasn't very good at that. (Partly due to inexperience, partly due to obliviousness)

[ukraina]

If neither work for you then Wednesday or Thursday would be alright as well.

[Hesitates and then takes his hand to give it a pat.]

[doucheland]

[shoulders tense a little at the touch]

Tuesday's fine with me...!!!

[holds her patting hand for a second and gently lets it go]

[ukraina]

[Lets go when he does.]

Then, um, I'll make sure to be ready on Tuesday.

[doucheland]

I'll be ready as well!

Let me know when and where I can pick you up then!

[ukraina]

Um, perhaps the airport. Unless that is a ways away for you.

[doucheland]

No, it's fine! I can pick you up from there!

I'll just need to know your flight schedule so I'll be there earlier. I gave you my number so you can just call me when you've planned your trip.

+1 to all

This is like a perfect summary of everything I backbutton for. Another thing is plain bad writing, because if you start using weird names for genitalia I'm going to start giggling like a 5-year-old and it's not going to stop.

What makes a good character portrayal?

[(Anonymous)]

Discuss the nations and what, in your opinion, HAS to be a trait or part of their portrayal to make it a good portrayal?

Belgium?

Overuse of epithets and poor use of epithets.

Noncon or dubcon that doesn't know that it's noncon or dubcon. Ditto creepy dynamics that don't know that they're creepy. I can read all kinds of dark, twisted things as long as the narrative seems to be aware of that, but get squicked by much milder things when the author honestly seems to think they're cute or romantic.

Scat or watersports.

Nonconsensual kink fics that seem to be more about hurting or humiliating someone than they are about how the character is experiencing

Rimming when there's no indicator of prior cleaning up and no chance for it to have happened.

Seme/uke styereotyping.

D/s dynamics that ping me as creepy or abusive that the narrative presents as romantic or healthy. That includes stories that conflate bottoming with being a sub, and that assume that being a sub in the bedroom means that the character has to be a doormat everywhere else.

When it's glaringly obvious that the writer didn't do any research except reading fic and watching visual porn, and doesn't actually know anything about the kinks they're trying to write.

Anything that has a dynamic of True Love Makes Abuse OK or True Love Is Obligated to Forgive Anything and Everything.

Re: Smut situations you like to imagine the characters in

I can't imagine Russia having sex with a female nation or any woman.

Re: ITT: Backbuttons in smut

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much all these things.

Also, if it's obvious that the author doesn't like one of the characters that they're writing, I hit the backbutton.

(Although I don't mind tattooing or piercings in slave fic, especially if it's used as a way to emphasize that the slave's body is no longer their own.)

Hey, meme! I hope New Years' went well for everyone! I'm having a hard time remembering it, myself. ...Err, anyway! I still have some presents from Christmas to deliver.

[Digs a crumpled note out of his pocket.]

Has anyone seen Baby America, China, France, Ladonia, le_coq_gaulois, mari, rodina, or vuri?

[ooc: Sorry this is a bit late. I got lost in some video games after Christmas and kind of forgot, oops. If I can't find the last few people, their gifts will be unscreened in the gift post in a few days anyway. o7]

[le_coq_gaulois]

Hrm~? You called?

[Look, he was just...busy, this Christmas season. No biggie.]

[finnish_him]

France, there you are! I have your gifts right here. There were also these... poles for you and Spain.

[He's not judging, honest!]

Sorry everything's so late!

[kingkongeriget]

Well, reckon 's the point'a showin' me how it's done, but maybe yer gonna [CENSORED] your [CENSORED] while 'm lookin' on an' [CENSORED] [CENSORED]?


[taking a wild guess, here]

[le_coq_gaulois]

Oh!

[Welp, presents. At first it's all, aw look at that birdy sweater, how cute, but then ???? HE DOESN'T NEED YOU SHOPPING FOR HIM, AMERICA, THANKS.]

[And then.]

...I thank you for all this. Better late than never, non? Though now I must be finding Prussia and America. It's quite urgent. [To knock both their heads together.]

I can but I don't see him really enjoying it. Just doing it for political or social reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

Tsar Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible!), the first Tsar of All the Russias, was an effeminate with a fetish for drag queens, known to enjoy having men dress up as women to dance seductively for him.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't unsee Russia being forced to dance in drag.

ITT: Things you're looking forward to

[(Anonymous)]

Personally I'm looking forward to the new episode of the Walking Dead video game! What's on the horizon for you, meme?
