[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!

ITT: Backbuttons in smut

or fic in general

Re: ITT: Backbuttons in smut

Body mutilation, especially if it's non-con and permanent.

Any kind of stuff where one person is destined to bottom due to biology, such as alpha/omega.

Scat and watersports.

24/7 bdsm relationship in which one person rules over everything in the other one's life, including whether they're allowed to meet friends, go to work, spend their own money etc.

Scenes that are obviously rape but are treated as romantic and in no way messed up within the story, such as the numerous "No, no, please don't do this / Wait, this feels good / I've always loved you" fics.

Characters dropping their personalities on the floor along with their clothes before getting to bed so that I could replace their names with anyone and it would feel the same.

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.

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.)

A long-time relationship where one person is ridiculously ridiculously uke and the other super super seme and it's like the bottom never reciprocates in any way. It's not that I mind when one person bottoms most of the time but it's not hot to me unless both partners are active in touching and kissing and making the other feel good.

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.

+1 to EVERYTHING, but mostly...

man, thanks for this, you really hit on exactly what I dislike in fic and what I've been trying to put into words but failing at identifying what precisely pisses me off

it's completely the True Love Forgives All tropey shit and dubcon/noncon that doesn't know it's dubcon/noncon
