I Just Made The Face.

You know the face. The face you make (and if you're me, the bonus, OUT-LOUD "what?") when some one sorts characters into Hogwarts Houses and gets it SO WRONG.

(Simmons in Gryffindor and Skye in Ravenclaw is 100% WRONG.)



(I mean, MAYBE I could see Simmons in Gryffindor but Skye in Ravenclaw? Hell to the no.)

Two Thumbs Up

I approve of this all-ladies Batfam fancasting!

People liked pretty things. People even liked pretty things that wanted to kill and eat them.

I just finished The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and I loved it. It reads like a pre-Twilight vampire novel, by which I mean, the vampires and vampirism is seductive and monstrous at the same time. So many deliciously fucked up bits of dialogue and prose.

I've Got No Use For Innocence

(It was hard picking which ~provocative~ icon to use for this post, let me tell you.)

The combination of a conversation I was having with fairest1 and reading the first Psy-Changling book (Slave to Sensation, which I’d heard raves about and is not living up to the hype) reminded me that a lot of fandom and the larger cultural context (especially with romance novels) seems to think it’s just so. damn. sexy. to have a virgin heroine. And I am just 100% not on board with this trope. Just… no. It’s almost 2014, can we please, please, please stop with this.

I’m not even going to go into how virginity is a bullshit patriarchal and heteronormative construction (but it totally is, and the more you learn about how and why it was constructed and the very real consequences of that, the more horrifying it is), I am going to stick with the fact that I JUST DON’T FIND VIRGINITY SEXY.

I come to fandom and romance novels for entertaining, titillating fiction, and do you know what I find sexy? People who know what the fuck to do in bed. People who have previous sexual experiences (good and bad) that inform how they interact and what they feel about their current partner.

I am so not down with the whole virgin protag that I don’t even like the male subversion where he’s the virgin and she’s more experienced (those two Steve/Darcy fics, excluded, you know the ones what I’m talking about).
