jinianDay Eight: Three turn-ons.
1. Articulate intelligence. Especially if you're talking about something I don't know so well, so I can learn all the things or just let the smart wash over me. Being faster than I am with words is great, and thankfully not so rare in my life any more.
2. Purposeful gender play. I particularly like Dorothy Surrenders for very fine posts full of women in drag; somehow the internet as a whole lacks hot pics of Angelina Jolie dressed as a man in Salt, though. Cross-dressing men: also very nice. Genderqueer folks: more complicated. Androgyny is intriguing, but unless I perceive the person to be playing with gender on purpose it doesn't feel erotic. (Which I'm glad about, since objectifying identity would feel gross.)
3. Some things appear to work only in fiction.
3a. Arrogant/smartass geniuses. For instance, Tony Stark from the Marvel movies. This is not such a turn-on in real life, and for some reason it doesn't extend to, say, Nathan from Eureka. A brainy person being obnoxious about it so reflects my inner "fuck you I'm awesome" impulse that I am gleeful whenever Tony busts it out and gets away with it, and the thrill transfers. Also, hey, cute. Lucca from Chrono Trigger goes here too.
3b. This one just jumped out at me over the last couple of weeks, and I am not at all sure whether to post it, but apparently I am feeling foolhardy. Ridiculous girl-girl submission scenarios: I appreciate them. See Gokujou Drops (manga) by Mikuni Hajime or K.K.S.P.S. (web fiction) by Christine Love.
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn-offs.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.
