The genre isn't for me, but I always have to respect weird art just for existing. Sometimes the best way to push your craft forward or re-ignite the passion for it is to do something really out of pocket and really commit to it.

With the warnings it’s funny to think about the person that reads them and goes “I can excuse having relations with a jar of punch, but I draw the line at step-family romance!”

i mean i find that reasonable? relationships between objects and people can't be abusive, but in-family relationships almost always are (with the smallest edge cases).

@@ohsarcasmi have to say i agree. while it is incredibly bizarre, i wouldn’t say that object/human sexual relations are morally wrong. but sexual step-familial relations? yes, morally wrong and somehow more disturbing to read 😂😂

@@ohsarcasm It’s a totally valid reaction to have! It was just funny to think about. Also the warnings made me think of that one meme “I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty!”.

@ohsarcasm Месяц назад

@@moss_yt nah dw it's still hilarious, just explaining why someone might be totally cool with object romance (i personally think it's really interesting to explore in the way vera does, and surprisingly healthy) but be a little put off by in-family sexual/romantic relationships.

@RainWelsh Месяц назад

Not to be dramatic, but I would kill and/or die for Beans. So glad you’ve got a terrible/bizarre novel support cat, they really are indispensable. Mine tried to smother me when I was attempting to read 50 Shades, presumably as a mercy. I notice Beans’ approach is more “destroy your property to distract you”, which is a valid way of getting it done.

@weirdobookclub Месяц назад

Beans gets the job done and I'm so glad you love him almost as much as I do (and that you have your own little support kitty)

And of course the sequel: Pounded in the Butt by my Book "Pounded in the Butt by my own Butt"

I just watched this, not knowing this book existed before today, and right on the heels of a very contemplative conversation with my nine year old about the biology of the Kool-aid man and why his glass doesn't break when he breaks through walls. Including, whether the liquid inside was his blood, organs, both... having watched this, I'm now traumatized. Keep up the good work.
