Notes: NSFW! Basically this post is a big Chuck Tingle joke (some images under the cut). But heads up! Jaskier's still amazed at the freedom this world's modern society has, so if your character asks him about his own world, please keep in mind that subjects of homophobia, fantasy racism, and censorship/book burning may come up. There's also an IC jab towards the church. I'm fine with teenagers tagging in, and any adult is free to threadjack to "protect" them (or threadjack in general, really, go nuts). (Also, blame Harry Osborn for this.)

Since my arrival in this realm, I've been nothing but (pleasantly!) astonished by the sexual freedom this so-called modern society prides itself on. Men openly flirt with me, women wear dresses that don't reach their knees, and there are entire stores dedicated to bawdy paraphernalia. The creativity is outstanding! I can access whole catalogs of these lewd movies in my pocket! Obscene songs play while you shop! Erotica is casually read during lunch breaks! Part of me is dying to know if there are priests out there with a forehead vein about to pop, but alas, to find out I would have to talk to them.

That said... the reason why I'm posting is to request clarification, mayhap for a social context I may lack. No matter how open-minded I may be, some things are still beyond my comprehension.

If someone can enlighten me by answering the simple question of what the fuck is this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[ This is Harry's legacy. If he accomplishes nothing else in this universe, at least he introduced his medieval friend to Chuck Tingle. ]

it's a work of art, is what it is.

[rollstoseduce]

Big words! Pray tell, have you even read any of these?

[nepotis]

not any of those 6 you posted, no. but My Billionaire Triceratops Craves Gay Ass is a personal fave.

Congratulations on discovering rule 34 of the Internet.

If it exists, there is media using it in a sexualized manner.

[rollstoseduce]

[Give him a second to google that. ...huh.]

But what is the purpose? At first, I thought it was all a huge jest, and while some of the images I'm seeing now under this "rule 34" header do indeed look like jokes, this writer is publishing actual erotica. With corn. A corn with a face on it!

[kid_flash_found]

Rule 34 is a joke that satirizes the fact that this is a true phenomenon. People will find a way to make anything erotic, or attempt to. Whether it is successful or not is pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

But you're talking to someone who doesn't really get porn, so I have an obvious bias.

Are you certain these are real publications and not some form of meme?

[rollstoseduce]

Trust me, I've gone through the stage of denial already.

[Attached: Tingle's works on Amazon and his Goodreads profile.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Well that's... sure a thing.]

I can recognize at least some of these as satire. Perhaps they are intended less as erotica and more as a means of ridicule.

What the fuck, indeed.

[rollstoseduce]

You're free to borrow my copies so we get drunk for the same reasons later.

[choicely]

I can't think of anything I'd rather do less except the drinking part.

Someone with a very vivid and twisted imagination.

[rollstoseduce]

A vivid and twisted imagination can be an artist's best friend - many a beginner would kill for such a powerful ally! I don't deny Mister Tingle vibrates with creativity, but I worry about the purpose of the results.

[makeanentrance]

Oh, I agree that it can aid one creatively.

The purpose here is merely to titillate - and this certainly makes them stand out and grab people's curiosity from the outrageous ideas.

It's genius.

I see someone's already introduced you to the concept of Rule 34, and someone else mentioned the possibility that it was a meme and therefore fake. I'd like you to consider another possibility: it's a meme, and therefore it's real.

They're all referring to big news articles or political discourse, even though I don't think the concept of transitioning needs to have a discourse. Someone's just using them to make ridiculous, inexpensive erotica.

I'm not sure about the donuts and corn, and I'm not googling it.

Re: Text | @timdrake

[louder_than_words]

donuts have holes. corn looks like a penis

hope this helps 🙂

[mostdangerousbird]

I meant aside from the obvious.

[rollstoseduce]

The corn and the donuts are, actually, the most straightforward of them all. Inexpensive equivalent of a mushroom trip may be, but I'm not sure I could classify this as erotica, regardless of how it's being sold. That would be accepting someone finds the coin sexually appealing!

[mostdangerousbird]

Is it the coin, or is it the written word and people's imagination? If you were going to look at this is a joke, I think the punchline is either people will give you money for anything or it takes all kinds.

What is this?
Why would you even put this here?

[rollstoseduce]

A series of (so-called) erotica novels for public consumption. As for the why, is there any part of my final question that needs rewording?

[Yeah, that was sarcasm.]

[doctopoda]

You just wanted to share the pain, didn't you?

[He's joking, of course, but also MY GUY]
