I Might Have Some Issues I'm Trying to Work Out

An except from one of my many works in progress. It's an R63 BerryJack thing. Probably actually going to be teen rated, if you can believe it.

Applejack leaned down, and took a sip. Held the coffee in his mouth thoughtfully for a second, then swallowed. It was warm in his throat.

“Do you like it?” said Berry.

“Yeah. Yeah, that’s good,” said Applejack.

“Coffee’s against my parents religion, but I don’t care. It’s just to good. I mean, how can something that feels so good and gives you so much energy and is so warm and lovely be bad for you?”

“It really seems to improve your mood,” said Appleack. “You aren’t allowed to drink coffee. That’s like not being allowed to take a piss.”

“Moma says we need to be pure.”

Applejack was confused. “Pure for what, though?”

“Pure so the LADY won’t destroy us when she comes again in her glory,” muttered Berry. His curl straightened out again with a soft popping noise.

“You need to be pure so a monster won’t kill you?”

Bubble Berry nodded. “The monster is God, though.”

“What’s a God?”

“It’s kind of like…” Berry paused, struggling to put the central ideas of his faith into words. “Yeah, it’s a monster. A really big, really bossy monster.”

I got a big dose of the poison religion that I'm still trying to work out. I'm also trying to work out how disgusted I am by sex, but people seem to like it when I write gross, drippy sex stories, so that seems to work out fine.

Umm... oh my... how... edgy?

*sample*

It's alright. I think that you're pushing your message a little too hard though. Readers on both sides of the fence will be turned off if you beat them over the head with your point.

Most of my other stories are brought to you by the letter M. But this one's about blank flanks, so no on-stage sex.

It's a work in progress!

Not my opinions, though. I mean, I totally own that level of rage, but I'm writing for a bipolar 12-year-old. I bet the other Pie Sisters Rock Brothers have their own takes on their, faith, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

I'm actually in kind of a love God, hate religion kind of place right now.

Wanna talk about it?

That depends. Who are you?

So you're Asexual?

Bah. Labels. Arguably, I guess? Can an asexual have written over 170,000 words of clop/erotic romance in the past 14 months? I mean, I would MUCH rather write clop than have sex, so there's that.

Oh. I thought you were marvelling at how one of your stories went above E. I don't read much on this site.

Nice TV Tropes reference BTW.

but I'm writing for a bipolar 12-year-old.

So it's your character saying this? Alright. But it still feels a tad awkward. I'm sure you'll be able to clean it up.

Same. I've never really been able to forgive God or the Church for the endless amounts of homophobia and transphobia I've had to deal with.

That depends. Who are you?

My name is Gabrielle. Friends call me Gabey. I am 26 years old, transgender, lesbian and married. I love my wife and my pets, I love science fiction and fantasy, and I am a huge Super Sentai fangirl. I am a housewife, and I love my job. I am a sexual enthusiast, and I also have a very low libido. I am a rape survivor, and I love me some civil rights.

So yes. You can talk to me about shit.

Bah. Labels.

I like labels. They're harmless enough, and they define who we are.

Can an asexual have written over 170,000 words of clop/erotic romance in the past 14 months?

Yes. Yes you can.

I mean, I would MUCH rather write clop than have sex, so there's that.

Sounds Asexual to me. Are you attracted to other people at all?

Who knows if the God stuff will even make the final draft? It's my headcanon that the Pie/Rock family are some kind of weird religion, but we'll see what fits the story. Berry's religious family shaming him or punishing him for being gay/bi/whatever he is is kind of DONE. I sort of want a family conflict that AJ and Berry are more personally involved with -- like being loyal to their families puts them at odds? IDK. I'm a gardener-style writer; I don't always know where these things are going, and they aren't always going anywhere.

Same. I've never really been able to forgive God or the Church for the endless amounts of homophobia and transphobia I've had to deal with.

Hugs!

Yeah. I'm furious at God for various things. Not least of all for my having such an un-spiritual avocation. She seems willing to listen to me gripe at her, though.

So yes. You can talk to me about shit.

Nice to meet you! I'm a house dad. Also very shy.

Sounds Asexual to me. Are you attracted to other people at all?

Depends on when you catch me. I love the human (or whatever) body, but maybe on more artistic grounds than sexual. I'm definitely not a-romantic. Demisexual, maybe?
