Rosanon

Occasionally, when talking or posting about my spicier interests, I find it necessary to explain the things I like and both why I like them and what specifically about them I like. Sometimes, this is because someone misunderstands my interests and directs me to things that are not quite to my tastes. Sometimes, it's just because the realization hits me that I'm a really weird fucking edge-case human in terms of sexual interest, and it might be neat to just get others to get where I'm coming from. Either way, I've wanted to make a post like this for a while for the reference of others. I might update it later to make it more accurate or whatever, but I figured it might be neat to explicate in detail what I like, why I like it, and some of the things I don't like. This is in no particular order, but I'll basically mention a fetish of mine, then go into crazy-stupid detail below about my interest in it. It might get personal, but I've never minded opening up online, so I don't fucking care if you know or not. And... if you don't want to know... why are you even reading this? Anyway! Warning: This is gonna be a long post and you don't gotta read it unless you just wanna know more about me.

I'll start with my arguably most relatable fetish.

Breast & Ass Expansion

One of the things I love is seeing a girl's tits & ass grow and expand. Obviously, there's some unga bunga caveman brain going on in here saying like, "titty and booby good haha bigger is better," but part of it is that I like seeing girls improve in some way, and, as my mind has chosen to see big breasts and big butts as inherently good things, it makes me think of the expansion of those things as an improvement to the girl. This is why I also like things that portray the expansion as a reward or a blessing or a happy thing instead of a punishment or sad thing. Not to say I don't like that opposing content as well, but I personally like seeing a girl happy that her boobs are growing or a girl just appreciating that new size. This is why I occasionally say "good girls deserve bigger boobs," or some variation of that, and why I typically like the wholesome, cute, do-gooder characters getting expanded. Chiaki Nanami, Nepgear, Mash Kyrielight. Notice a trend? And no, it's not because they all have magenta-ish hair.

Of course, there's also the fact that I like the breasts and asses themselves. Contrary to the fact that I'm a fucking nerd, I did have a significant other several years ago, and, well, boobs and butts are nice to feel! They're big, soft, warm, and squishy, like living stress balls that make someone else possibly feel good when you touch them in the right way. That's a blessing to the human race if I've ever heard of one. There's just something inherently nice about them that gets down to my visceral caveman brain again. The bigger they are, the more I can squeeze, the more I can bury myself in them, and the more they have a sense of being rich in a way that matters, sexually speaking. Not like I hate flatties. I quite like, for example, Persona 4's Chie Satonaka, so I have no problem loving a less-endowed girl who stays that way as long as they're a good person. It just makes me wish, "I wish there was a way to give her huge boobs; she deserves it!"

I also really love stuff like breaking clothes, skindentations, and clothe sizing. Like, if you can sell the story of a girl whose butt recently grew again, and thus has to go to a clothing store to buy bigger panties, if you can sell her embarrassment or pride at the fact as she goes to the section that carries larger sizes, I really appreciate that. Stuff that signifies her size is always good. Clothes being tight in general is nice. I wouldn't say clothing itself is a fetish of mine, also, but I like a girl wearing either girly or masculine clothes pretty much equally for different reasons, in relation to my expansion fetish. Basically, if a tomboyish girl wearing boxers, jeans, and a T-shirt starts feeling her boobs and butt growing huge, then her feminine, girly body starts shining through her masculine clothes. There's a specific appreciation in my heart for a girl whose body is so girly that even boy clothes cannot hide it. That contrast is what I'm after, in that case. In the case of girly clothes, I just appreciate the simple celebration of femininity, of which particularly large chests or rears are an inextricable part of, for me. I know some people don't think this way, but in my mind, bigger boobs are girlier boobs. The bigger a girl's assets, the more feminine that is, to my mind (to a point, obviously, though that point is way further out for me than others).

I also have no upper size limit. Yes, I mean that. No, you're not thinking "haha but what if planet-sized tits bro?" and being clever, because I actually do like that. It's not an often-appreciated thing for me, but I'm always going to like the girl in question improving even more. And, if you let a girl continue improving in the bust ad infinitum, she'll get to planet-sized eventually. At this point, it's more amusing to me than anything, but I still like it. There's no point at which tits or ass get so big that I don't like them or see them as tits or ass anymore. We could all live our lives in a universe that consists of nothing but one massive surface of a girl's tits and ass that crowds out the universe, and I'd be fine with that and consider that an amusing, sexually-pleasant fate.

On that note, I love both fast growth and slow growth. A girl whose body grows a cup size per month is hot, and a girl who gets a cup size dolloped onto her by the second is also hot. Both are hot for different reasons, though I will say that, in the case of the slow growth, the idea that there is still so much more bigness to look forward to is really nice. Like, there's this feeling that, if you're the girl, you can just sit back, put your arms around your boobs, squeeze them in a warm hug, and both relax and just be secure in the knowledge of, "you girls are gonna be even bigger tomorrow." That's extremely appealing to me. I love the intersection of a girl's assets and her life, and if a girl has a particular appreciation and love for her own body in that way, that's also very appealing.

In terms of method, I like most every common way of portraying the growth aside from anything to do with current medical procedures. Injections, surgeries, and stuff like that are just not very appealing to me. The most I'll put up with is usually a little syringe or something that injects a girl with expanding serum. I much prefer magical growth, natural growth, or even superscience pills or nanomachines. Magical, blessed, or cursed clothing is also a big hit for me, as well as curses/blessings in general. Magical items or cursed ruins that have a transformative effect are very appealing to me. For example, say a girl dives into a dungeon, and she opens a trapped chest that turns her panties into [Enchanted Panties of Butt Expansion], then that's hot as fuck. I like things that have some sense of potential future gains, or change one's life situation in some way. If the growth is like a very temporary, contained thing, like in a gag episode in an anime or manga, then it becomes a lot more disappointing to me. I like growth to stick around and be permanent, if at all possible.

Transsexual Fiction (TSF), sometimes/formerly known as TG (for "transgender;" see below)

======================================================================

NOTE OF CLARIFICATION: I should clarify my terms here before anything else, and keep in mind that this is only a description of what turns me on, not my political beliefs. I'd hope that would be your good-faith assumption, but one can never be too careful. Anyway, my fetish is for full "biological males" to be turned into full "biological females." Futanari or traps/twinks/etc. turning into full females is also appealing to me. I don't like anything that stops halfway, celebrates being halfway, or treats the halfway point as the endpoint. I don't like male crossdressing/sissy content (on its own), and I only like it when males turn female, not when females turn male, under any circumstances. Ultimately, I just like full girls in the end. No dicks. Just nothing but pure females in the end. Since "transgender" has become a term often referring to a real-life state that doesn't reflect my fetishes, "transsexual fiction" has become a much more appealing term to me to use by not making that connection, hence why I prefer to use it. If I make a character, and I tell you that they are a girl (TSF), you instantly know that, one, they used to be a male, and that, two, they got truly turned into a female with zero dick or male equipment whatsoever. There's no confusion. Anyway, glad to get that out of the way.

======================================================================

I love it when the male body turns female. I just love girls. From my earlier statements on breast/ass expansion, you might get the impression that I just love celebrations of femininity, and that's absolutely true. I love, love, love girls, and the idea of getting to become one is just downright intoxicatingly nice. Perhaps to prove this to you, I'll offer a list of things I love about girls, just to hammer it home! I love boobs of all kinds, I love big butts, I love cute and girly faces, I love the idea of being short, I love wide hips, I love thick thighs, I love it when feet are particularly small and soft and cute, I love long hair, I love small noses, I love soft lips, I love soft skin, I love long eyelashes, I love dainty hands, I love small shoulders, I love depilated skin, I love higher-pitched voices, I love cute giggles, I love cute vulnerabilities (yes, though I hate periods themselves, working around them is a perfect opportunity for softhearted, perhaps-girly, romantic affection, which I love!), I love the idea of physically managing the burden of larger breasts, I love pussy (appearance and all! and even a little bit of its scent), I love the clitoris, I love girly tummies, and I love all the cute and girly clothes that adorn and celebrate the female form.

So, I love girls. Too much, perhaps. I'll admit to you guys that I definitely went too far with this love when I was a stupid, naive kid. Nothing, like, truly bad, I assure you, but definitely stuff that you'd expect a precocious red-blooded boy with mild autism to do. Like, there was one point when I was a sixth grader where I thought staring at someone you liked was how you communicated those feelings (If I had to guess, I heard something about how "making eye contact is a good thing!" and took it too far), and, long story short, there's some poor girl out there who's all grown up now who I really wish I could apologize to for freaking out back then with what probably looked like an omnipresent death-glare. (and in case you're wondering: no, literally nobody told me not to do that; I had zero idea).

Anyway, that story isn't just oversharing, either. I mention it also because it highlights that I've been very into girls from a young age. You know how there's that age where young boys will recoil from girls and their "cooties"? Well, I literally never had that stage. I've loved girls, platonically back then and sexually since before puberty, as far as I can possibly remember. I've always just liked them. I've basically always wanted to be one, and I figured it out with absolutely nobody telling me, too (I won't go into the story of how I figured it out, but I assure you it's literally without fucking question). However, despite all this, I just want to say that I'm absolutely a guy. I'm a male, I'm a man, and I'm a boy. I don't really feel I was born in any wrong way, and I'm happy being as I am, even if this is how I'd be until the day I peace out from this gay Earth. That's a fancy way of saying I'm not transsexual. I just love the idea of being a girl. To put it in Left-Leaning-Speak: "Specifically not calling what I am right now a 'girl' is very important to my personal identity," if that helps. "I'm definitely a boy, but I'd love, love, love to be a girl if I could truly become one," is something I'd say.

So, to me, liking girls so much is something that naturally leads me to want to be one. I don't want to be a girl because I don't want my male place in life. I don't want to be a girl because I (fucking vomits internally) like men. I don't want to be a girl because I want to wear frilly swishy skirts or put on cute pink polkadot panties (that only sounds nice if I'm already a girl!). I hope that, if all these previous statements didn't make it clear, that I can get the point across to you by simply saying that I have these feelings of: "I want to be a girl, because I really love girls! Why wouldn't I want to become the kind of thing that I love so much? Girls are the best! We should all become cute, fluffy, happy girls together! It makes perfect sense to me!"

I feel like all the above was necessary, because, on the surface, the fact that I'm into TSF alone probably makes me seem more similar to certain people who are completely sexually incompatible with me than I am. I don't want to be lumped in with them, basically. No shade thrown to them either, obviously.

That leads most naturally into what I don't like about TSF, and that's when the boy-turned-girl starts liking men. I don't care if it's slow, if it's "romantic," or if it's something that makes the character eventually happy. At best, it simply inspires feelings of "good for you, I guess," and at worst it just makes me feel this awful dread inside. I love girls a ton, so you can imagine why. The idea of losing that love is the worst, but even just having it overshadowed or competed with by a new love is risky at best. If a boy turns into a girl, becomes bisexual, but ends up dating a girl anyway, then that's about as much as I can still find pleasant. But anything that puts the focus on that "I used to love girls so much but now I don't feel anything..." idea is something I'll drop and avoid on the spot. I don't actually hate that it exists, but my sexuality hates it with all its power. That's why I'll put such options in my CYOAs, because I want people to just have that option if that's what they want.

What I do like is the opposite. TS Yuri. Some people say it's not a type of yuri, but to me, it is. Either way, a scenario I really like is "a childhood friend of a male lead turning out to be a lesbian of some sort, but then the male lead gets turned into a girl, and then the two have a wholesome lesbian relationship." Stuff that, again, celebrates femininity as this thing that can be fluffy, warm, cuddly, and friendly just gets to me, and since I love girls so much, I want both parties to be girls. Boys becoming girls, to me, is like transforming lead into gold. It's sexual alchemy. You're taking the thing I don't like (boys) and turning it into the thing I do like (girls). All I have to say is "based and girlpilled." It's really that simple.

I like slow transformations and fast transformations alike, too. I typically like instant "poof"-style transformations less, but they're still good. Imagine a girl in a manga hitting a boy she likes with a girlifcation hammer, then "poof;" he's a girl now. That'd still be very hot. But I usually like transformations more when they focus on how each part of the body changes. The penis shrinking, the boobs growing bigger, the butt expanding out, the face turning girly. If clothing change is included, that's nice, too. And with the more long-form transformations, I enjoy, again, the slow, continual improvement aspect and the slow, continual celebration of femininity. It's very convenient that I think of large dicks as sort of a quantitative measure of masculinity (the thing I dislike) and large feminine assets as a quantitative measure of femininity (the thing I like). So, if you imagine a boy going through a TSF transformation and slowly turning into a girl, imagine him waking up to find that his boobs grew again and that his dick got smaller again. That's a very pleasant thought to me. All that said, where my fetishes clash with biological reality is that there are degrees of genital feminization/masculinization, and I'd rather have the actual "change" happen all at once, rather than an actual, slow transformation, after the penis has shrunk to an appropriately small size.

This also edges up on the rare situation in which I appreciate traps. Generally speaking, when one says "Oh I like traps," they're specifically appreciating that potential deception and mystique about them. The ability to surprise someone by flipping up his skirt and showing off a bulge (and of such appreciators there are those who prefer small bulges and big bulges, I'm told). They like that state as an end-goal to stay at, and this is where I rapidly depart from them, because I only find traps to be appealing as a transitory state between male and female, and it's primarily because that state just sort of... exists... on the "journey" from boy to girl, if you will. Think about it; if you have a slow transformation from male to female, and your starting point is "average guy" with an ending point of "average cute girl," then if you're going for a slow transformation, you've got to either turn him into a reverse trap at some point, changing the penis first, or you've got to turn him into a trap, feminizing his body and turning him androgynous/feminine with a penis still, however small it may be. And I generally don't exactly love reverse traps, personally. So, while I don't fetishize traps/crossdressing on their own, they're a nice stage in the middle of a TSF transformation where one can appreciate the journey, grapple with the consequences of rapidly-fading masculinity, and fall deeper into the oncoming waves of girlhood.

Yuri & Lesbianism

Here's where we get to what might be my all-time favorite fetish, and one that's both dear to my pants and to my heart. Yuri, how I love thee. In case you don't know, yuri is a genre all about love and relationships between biological girls. Yuri, as I understand it, doesn't have to involve romance or sex, and can focus on particularly close friendships, but within works of the genre, said friendships really have to be the kind that border on and graze against the romantic. Thus, when I'm talking about yuri, I'm typically talking about stuff that does involve actual romance between girls, though it does also include simple sexual nonsense between them, too. Keep in mind that I consider boys who turn into true biological females to be girls, too, so, in my mind, you can apply whatever I say about yuri to couples where one or both of the girls formerly had bulges at one point. As long as they're girls now and forevermore, we're all good.

As for how I started liking yuri in the first place, that's kind of an obvious extension of how I see girls in general, as well as sexual relationships in general. The idea is essentially, if you take any relationship whatsoever with a boy in it and turn that boy involved in said relationship into a girl... then, in my eyes, you've improved the relationship according to my tastes. So, in the end, if you just keep improving any relationship in this way, you will always, eventually, end up with yuri. This is not to say that I don't have moments where I can appreciate a heterosexual relationship (particularly the depictions that focus on romance more than sex; I just don't like seeing heterosexual sex at all), but I can't think of a single instance where I wouldn't just rather have it be yuri instead. Yuri is just supreme. I like girls, and I don't like boys, so therefore two girls is always going to be better than one girl and one boy. It just makes sense.

Of course, I do occasionally hear things like people saying yuri is "boring" or that they need penetration in the relationship in order to enjoy it. I obviously disagree with both points, finding that yuri has more than enough variety baked into it for me to enjoy, though I do obviously recognize the idea that heterosexual sex has more variety than yuri sex just since you have a greater variety of body parts to work with. It just so happens that, for me, any of those boy parts are only ever a minus to my enjoyment. As for penetration, I understand the complaints some people have with dildos, but I find that they don't really apply to me, and I'm perfectly okay with "feeling" dildos in a fantasy or sci-fi setting making up for that "difference."

Of course, this raises the question of how far I'm willing to go with phony phalluses, as it were, which is a perfectly valid question, since at a certain point on the scale, it definitely becomes "not yuri." The simple answer is that, the closer you get to an actual penis, the less I enjoy it, whereas the more obviously fake and unnatural it is (vibrant plastic, exotic shapes, functional textures, unnatural functions, the ability to glow, obvious straps, etc.), the more "harmless" I find it to the yuri experience. I can't exactly pinpoint a concrete tipping point where it flip-flops between yuri and not yuri, but that's largely because I don't care to get close to that point. For example, there's always the question of if ovipositors are okay to have in yuri or not, but I don't really care to answer the question because I don't like ovipositors or oviposition at all to begin with. I am, however, sometimes forced to answer that question when making my CYOAs, but unfortunately I haven't arrived at an answer I find satisfactory quite yet on that topic. Also, I mentioned it in the parenthetical earlier, but huge bonus points for any dildos/strapons that glow. Love me some glows. Gimme that fake dong lightsaber; that shit's funny as fuck and I love it. For all the things that I hate about Trials in Tainted Space, having hardlight strapon panties for the characters in-universe to wear is pretty cool and doesn't get in the way of my enjoyment at all.

Now, after all that, it's become important to take an aside to sort of "clear my name" here, since, if I were a third party reading this, I would naturally conclude, "this guy will never fuck a girl again in real life because he hates hetero." However, this isn't the case, because, when I am "in real life" and in front of a real girl, I actually feel something more like "normal sexual attraction" to them and I'm perfectly fine imagining myself having relations with them. Like, my fantasies have not invaded my reality and destroyed my ability to have a functional irl hetero relationship -- that's perfectly intact. I personally consider this something of a blessing, but I just want to make it clear that I haven't gone so far off the yuri deep end that it makes me unable to be normal. I wish I could have yuri in real life, but that's just how it is.

Female Domination/Superiority/Improvement & Male Humiliation

This is 100% where I will lose my fellow yurifriends, because I do have a context in which I enjoy a male being present in certain situations -- namely as a metaphorical pedestal upon which to elevate women. To make it very clear, none of this is reflected in my political beliefs, but as far as sexual fantasy is concerned? All women should be superior to all men. The weakest woman should be stronger than the strongest man -- stronger, smarter, bigger, of greater social status... more capable in every way. The more ways a woman can be better than a man, the better.

To be perfectly frank, I can't tell you exactly how I "got" this fetish because I think it's something I slowly realized I had over many years, but ultimately, I know it stems from me just "liking women," again. If I like women, why wouldn't I want them to stand atop every pedestal? If there's no situation in which I would prefer a man, then why shouldn't I preferentially devote all I can to the placement of the sex which I do prefer? It's just sort of a natural conclusion from my "Absolute Gynephillia," if you will. Girls are the best, so reality should reflect that. Girls should be elevated, and boys should be humbled. This is definitely the fetish that feels most like a "brainworm," because sometimes it clamors to be satisfied, and it won't shut up until I indulge it, receding into the background when I'm not in the mood for it, whereas all my other fetishes are something I'm totally fine with being explored even in non-sexual contexts (ie. big titties are just nice to hug; I don't need to get off to them to appreciate them).

In any case, this extends to a whole range of subfetishes and fantasies, so I'll just list a few varied scenarios so you can get the gist of it:

The average height of girls in the world slowly goes up, while the average height of boys goes down instead. Girls are given special social rights while boys get reduced rights and assumed fealty to girls. Female-on-male facesitting becoming more socially acceptable as a casual thing to do (like a woman asking you to present your face on a bus for her to sit on). The fundamental reality of the world changing to give girls insane luck so that they win every contest without having to try. Girls having access to magic in a fantasy world while boys can't use it. Magical Girls being lifted up as a superior class of humans in general. Criminal punishment for boys being stuff like shrinking them or transferring their size/skills/abilities to the girl that they wronged. Boys getting easy punishments while girls are practically immune from them. Particularly good boys having the chance to get "promoted" into being girls. A girl (or multiple girls) becoming omnipotent and growing more and more existentially powerful. The list goes on, but ultimately, the name of the game is "Girl Go Up, Boy Go Down."

Now, as a small aside, I feel like I should clarify that I have a particular aversion, distaste, and perhaps hatred to any demonstration of supposed female superiority that involves anything classically considered "gross" or unsanitary. I probably don't need to go into detail, but suffice it to say that the most I'll go for is a woman rubbing her feet on a man's face after she's cleaned said feet (or if they can be presumed to be clean for reasons). Anything involving a bodily fluid or "product" that is not pussy juice, breath, or saliva is a no-go, though saliva is also sorta gross if in high quantities.

As long as those things are avoided, though, I'll enjoy most any kind of femdom as long as the dick stays concealed or isn't treated in a sexual way (the more cum or penetration on display, the less I like it). Like, if you show me a SpaceJin pic where an angry Reimu is busting a guy's balls or whatever, that's something I can shrug at and appreciate for the other pages where the general female superiority is on display. I don't self-insert into any scenarios where the guy suffers a lot, though. In general, I like the bullying to be sort of tongue-in-cheek or teasing, not overtly cruel. I don't like cruel things in general, and typically prefer to avoid them, and this applies to all my fetishes. For example, I find NTR to be really distasteful, so if a girl NTRs another girl away from a guy, unless the guy was a really shitty person, I'm going to find that NTR really offputting even if it results in yuri.

Giantess, Growth, Shrink, & Size

The above qualifiers to femdom also naturally apply to my giantess fetish, which is the first thing I will mention precisely because of the gigantic rift-valley-sized divide between the cringe murdervirgins and the based gentlechads. I will absolutely not be mistaken for being into murderous, rampaging, destructive giantesses blowing up cities and having their cringe death counters being displayed alongside the image. An absolute bonerkiller.

Anyway, it's ok. I still love you, murderweirdos. You just have cringe tastes, but I know you'd say the same thing about me anyway. <3

Now, all that said, some destruction is still okay. Destroying empty buildings or just showing off a giant girl casually knocking a building off its foundation and going "oops! Sorry...!" is pretty cute, and it's that cuteness I want to be put on display most often, though I also obviously like sex appeal and power play being put on display too, along with other appeals I find in many of my other fetishes, female superiority being the most obvious one.

Of course, I also have to address the elephant in the room now, which is that I prefer "Growth" content to "Giantess" content. I do obviously still like regular giantess content, where the girl is just one static size that happens to be bigger than the other people/objects in the setting for whatever reason, or where the growth happens only once and happens instantly, but I do find them disappointing compared to content in which the girl, ahem...

...Grows and grows and grows and grows and grows and grows.

Hopefully that gets across how much growth and size change I want. Generally speaking, you can't put enough of it in there for my tastes. I prefer the girl to grow faster, bigger, and more often. It's a very similar preference to that which I feel for breast and ass expansion, although with giantess growth, there is no decay of appreciation, even as the girl gets bigger. My appreciation remains constant, no matter how big the girl gets, as long as she is, in fact, getting bigger. House sized? Bigger. Skyscraper sized? Bigger. Country sized? Bigger. Planet sized? Bigger. Solar system sized? Bigger. Galaxy sized? Bigger. Universe sized? Bigger. Nothing left to compare with? Fucking invent a hundred different ways to up the ante like the guy who made "Hyper Growing Mash" did.

Ultimately, you can never have a limit to that kind of improvement, mostly because it scales up the whole girl at once. Bonus points if she actually attains apotheosis at some point, becoming godlike or gaining ridiculous powers to make up for the fact that she "can't interact" with small people anymore.

In terms of how I want the growth to happen, it could be natural, supernatural, or superscientific, and it could happen smoothly, in pulses, in jittery fits and starts, or in basically any way other than just "completely linearly at one constant speed" like you'd find in old MMD giantess growth videos from the mid 2010s. It can happen quickly, slowly, or at any speed inbetween. It can happen as a growth drive or a growth contest with two girls trying to outgrow the other. I like it when the girl grows from exposure to a thing, from sheer willpower, from being damaged, from trying to be shrunk... There's almost nothing I could ever find boring about growth, as long as the fact that she is growing is portrayed well.

I'm probably a bit more picky about who gets grown huge, though not too picky. I typically like nice girls to become huge, as well as ones that could learn to love being huge, whereas if she complains about it too much in a sincerely horrified way, that's generally a bonerkiller. If she protests a bit in a manner like "I can't... stop... growing~...!" though, then that's totally fine. To an extent, even evil girls growing huge isn't too bad, as long as their evil actions are contained to tease-y or slapstick actions.

As a side note, the bigger the scale of the girl, the less I mind outright evil actions. If a girl slams her giant ass on a city and it just instantly blows up and she grows bigger because she got a high kill count or grows from destruction, that's fine. If a girl rampages throughout a city making visible red smears and there's a lot of low angle shots from the ground where crowdscream.wav constantly plays at a high volume with evil Godzilla music in the background -- yeah, that's less fine. Anything that makes the death and destruction seem more "real" is going to be a minus in my book, but if it's treated with levity, then I can shrug and still enjoy it.

Closing

So that's pretty much it. Hope that was a sufficient explanation of what I'm into, sexually speaking, which hopefully helps clarify to people what I'm into so that I get less irrelevant stuff being sent my way (which I'm not really annoyed by, but I figure it would be a win-win since the people sending stuff to me would get a more enthusiastic response by sending me more relevant content instead of just "oh cool").

I don't expect to get any comments whatsoever on this post, but feel free to do so, even if it's long after I originally posted it. No filter is necessary. Additionally, I'm totally okay answering any questions about this insane mega-rant of a post, just in case I didn't phrase everything totally clearly.

...and I helped create the ad image for it, using my vast, quantum, 6D photoshop skillz. Ahem, anyway. My friend Yurigear is doing a special seasonal sale on halloween-themed commissions featuring yuri, TG/TSF, and expansion-related themes. There's only 8 slots, and nabbing one will net you a nice 4 thousand word story for only 25 bucks! I know money isn't exactly growing on trees at the moment, but that's like the price of 5 of those breastmilk lattes Twitter seems to be memeing about, so why not do your part and contribute more degenerate fapfics to the world? I'm even planning on snagging myself a spot, so look forward to that. Please, please consider sending in a request! It would mean a lot to me, and Yurigear as well.

(Yes the title is entirely intended to resemble an unholy fusion of a Subscription plug and a dumb doujin title)

Hello, lovely viewers. Switching it up a little bit here to take the opportunity to plug a friend's project to try and become a Vtuber named Grey! A wolf-boy, at that! I know -- probably not the kind of content you expect from me, but I figure that, chances are, at least a few of you out there enjoy watching silly people play video games while they emote through a cute anime avatar. And since this is a friend's project, you really think I'm gonna let that go un-plugged? C'mon -- no way. Besides, Grey's art is also drawn by one of my favorite artists -- the amazing and lovingly transmogrified into a wolf-ear-wiggle-adjustable Live2D avatar. So if nothing else, give him a watch just to see that lovely pic in action.

He'll be playing video games, chilling, talking, responding to chat, and generally just having a good time, so please give him a chance! If you don't, I... will... be very sad!

(Honestly, I've had this stupid tab open for like a month, putting off publishing this dumb journal and enough is enough -- here ya go)

So, the other month, I finished Symphogear XV (the fifth and final season of that anime for those of you unaware) with a friend of mine, and I wanted to post a nice little recommendation to those of you, my watchers, receptive to the prospect of giving it a try. I've seen both the TV anime and the various OVAs as well, and I'm in love, ready to give it a cozy little spot right next to TTGL in the tiny little circle that is my favorite anime franchises.

If I had to give it a succinct description, Symphogear as a whole would be "lovable girls fight a mythology sampler-platter by transforming into mech-y magical girls with the power of rock." Already off to a good start. Y'know what else it has? Yuri undertones, and a whole lot of them, at that. Girls sleeping together, bathing together, holding hands, singing together, and, yes, fighting together, too. Granted, it never goes quite as far as I want it to, but as someone who gets annoyed at anime and games backing down from righteous yuri, I can say I'm certainly not annoyed at Symphogear's execution of that aspect.

Anyway, I don't want to turn this into an essay, so I'll mostly leave it at that. If you want a good time watching a kick-ass anime about definitely-totally-not-extremely-gay mecha-magical-girls slapping ancient evils, using the power of song to overcome the innate evils of humanity, and growing together as people while they do it, go hop onto your favorite anime acquisition service and give it a look-up.

And if you just need one more little push to realize what you've been missing, take a look at this spoiler-free cut of the intro to season 3; maybe that will convince you:  https://streamable.com/qm82
