[DISCUSSION] TCP Sexuality Thread

[skinstealer]

you can suggest anything discussed here for a oneshot/ask us about it here or in DMs, we'll let you know if it's not something we're interested in taking on. i'm pretty sure we have at least one possession type in our to-do roster, so it might be worth a shot.

i'm really glad you like my thoughts here! we think about this kind of stuff a lot and would be really happy to do more writeups like this, for pretty much any type aside from the ones listed in the "do not touch" sections of the dex. let's see...

casual BDSM is absolutely a thing. there's a wide range of how people handle those types of relationships, and while we're not experts, we do know a lot about the variety that can be there and it'd be fun to talk about.

i think session TCPs would also benefit from having someone around who understands the strain that combat can do on the mind and body, especially since some session TCPs (thinking Bloodthirsty from today's felid factor update today, tbh) might have developed some kind of maladaptive interests that need time and work to process. in thirsty's case, ransom can picture her being into vampiric feeding as a kink thing, but while her attitude is fairly nonchalant towards her history as a Session Murder Cat™, she has some serious wires crossed and both craves the company of someone who will indulge those interests as someone to feed on, and feeling sick over having them in the first place.

agreed on the oral fixation stuff. those are all very common types that'd have that. i can also see body types doing procedures/ability usage on TCPs that feel a desire to have those body parts, though that'd generally fall under dysphoria vs inherently a kink thing (though of course, there can be crossover)

TCP fashion videos online would be sick. a fun thing to explore, maybe.

didn't even think about aquatic types being carried around like that when i said that- that would be so awesome for people traveling around and wanting to live an amphibious life. i like to think that being inside of a TCP lets you communicate mentally, just because that's something us and como like to include for other stuff like that, so i guess it's just a morbit thing now. vore talking moments

wearing jewelry/markings/indications of your partners' typings would be a lot more common than say, an engagement ring, i think. very common sign of commitment.

hydra types would also benefit highly from plural resources, i think- but i wonder if someone would insist that it's Different, and there being a divide between the plural community at large and TCPs that come with systems "baked in" as a default state.

[AceOfNothing]

Not really a kink thing but I do wonder if Hydra types/Multiplicity types/similar "built in" plurals would have body types help the heads individually deal with dysphoria. Could be useful. 

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on casual bdsm or even soft vore sometime (or regular vore). Don't have any particular questions at the moment but I'm curious.

Think thirtsy would indulge a bit mentally? Like read stories about vampires/feeding and think about it? She doesn't have someone currently who does allow her that so curious if it's something she *Does* think about or just *Would* want. If you end up with a modifier (anomoly? I forget) I imagine it's common to want a partner who would let you indulge.
Thirsty could be a secret morbit Twilight fan.

I'm curious, any thoughts on the void session cats for here? Or other cats that come from sessions, how that maybe effects them. If it falls too far into spoilers sorry, I'm just a bit interested in... side effect kinks I guess? 
Find out someone from Void is actually very into magic clowns now

[skinstealer]

it'd be interesting to explore that! i feel like any TCP can develop degrees of dysphoria, especially with how extremely ability/type-focused their culture is and how that can conflict with a TCP's personal views of themselves and their life- something that's exacerbated by having TCPs in the same body with very differing needs.

i can come up with some things to ramble about re: casual BDSM and vore but lemme address the other stuff first

oh yeah thirsty absolutely reads vampire stories. she's fucking obsessed with learning about the cultural implications behind a condition that was inflicted upon her by her player, and wondering what their motivations were for doing That instead of any other murder thing. she doesn't really have a lot of friends, let alone partners, and doesn't really allow herself to, but has a lot of conflicted feelings about how some of the TCPs she was made to kill were people she really did like and may have even crushed on a bit before it all went to hell. i think she thinks about it a lot but goes "ahhh i'm so gross. whatever" and doesn't really stop herself so much as use it as an excuse to treat herself badly.

i think she'd find morbit twilight pretty cringe. but old style dracula might be more her thing, thinking fiend stories and the like.

oh yeah void session stuff is fine. let's see

primus is...hmmm. primus. i think everyone views him as The Goodest Boy To Ever Good and that doesn't really line up with where he is mentally after void session. he still wants to strive to be the best person he can be and make those above him proud, but i feel like after a point he has issues with that mentality in relationships, and it can make people uncomfortable sometimes. bryce really likes primus and the feeling is mutual, but bryce really doesn't like being put on a pedestal, and the two have basically agreed not to indulge in anything until primus gets some more therapy and techniques to deal with how easily he idolizes others. he is definitely in a casual relationship with lover and the two of them have messed with sex/kink stuff, but primus once again ends up slotting himself into that "i have to serve others that i care about" role in ways that do not mesh well with lover's domineering nature that can get a bit out of control sometimes. nothing abusive or anything, but it gets pretty unhealthy at times and the two are locked in a cycle of breaking up and getting back together. all in all: primus doesn't have a lot going on sometimes but he probably is still exploring interests.

buddy has a plush thing and it's all the audience's fault. i'm half joking but i feel like buddy developed some pretty strong attachments to acts of play and imagination-based activities that stuck with it pretty hard as it matured during the session and outside of it. i've actually toyed (haha) with the idea that buddy gets a plush modifier down the line but haven't committed to it yet- it's a big species dysphoria thing for it at this point and it really likes roleplaying with hark with that kind of thing, even if hark kind of feels like she's bad at it and way less imaginative. maybe the two of them could play playmates/soulmates? it would be pretty funny if raggedy and buddy were friends on there, though i can't see them hooking up. more...double date situations. buddy also likes drawing and writing in these departments.

kevin (post void session dad for the uninitiated) is pretty vanilla, but marnet wants to dabble in all kinds of stuff. i can imagine marnet realizing how much she loves kevin's cooking and begging kevin to give that a try in intimate matters, which kevin thinks is a little silly at first, but realizes how happy it makes her and gets into it by proxy. i can say with certainty that kevin does NOT like her size being poked fun at or teased, so that wouldn't be involved at all with anything. she does like marnet's super big hugs, though.

no idea what jasper's up to. always kind of pictured them as fully aroace, if not outright repulsed by these things. stuff like gore kink etc definitely triggers them Bad, and they have to avoid it.

as for bdsm and vore, i'll talk about those after i finish some work on the side. but i will return!

[AceOfNothing]

Obviously without like... addressing the issues directly, she's going to spiral a bit about her ability and self hate. Not healthy, not good, but very real I think. Hopefully she can actually get help sometime honestly.
But im happy its not all bad only bad, and she has embraced it a bit. Love her exploring vampire lore, and the idea of reading up on Fiends. That has to be at least in some way a "healthy coping mechanism". Probably as close to healthy as you can be in a legit bubble.

And Void session cats yay!

I am very sad for Primus, but I think it's a fitting "kink/mindset" for him just... based on the story so far. Its also probably hard to see as an issue? Like online sources might lead to people saying/him thinking "I just love my partners, that's not bad" and not realizing how that can be on the receiving end. Also do like that Bryce is not trying to force himself to deal with Primus's stuff, being supportive without making yourself uncomfortable is good. And I do appreciate that lover isn't like, magically the perfect opposite, or even abusive. Relationships can just... not be good without either party being The Worst. Happy Primus is exploring, even though he needs help. Hopefully he can get the serious help he needs.
Maybe service stuff in bdsm would be good for him to look into more seriously.

Buddy and Raggedy becoming online friends with some species/ability dysphoria is really really sweet. Also not surprised Buddy is into plush, Im happy Hark is willing to explore it with them. Do you think buddy would have any plushie partners?
I also have a knife with a toy modifier so be cool to see a plush one, but that's a big decision.

I am happy that Kevin is just willing to do things with Marnet. Supportive partners who are willing to do things cause they love is just so important. Also support Marnet asking for Kevin to do things with her, that is probably a little scary at first so I'm happy they have a good relationship like that.

And support for Jasper, aroace friend. Happy if theyre happy, and makes sense they maybe have some "absolutely not" triggers.

[skinstealer]

i could see primus fitting in with service acts really well, but it'd definitely require a partner that keeps those urges to serve in an appropriate level. gotta keep him from overextending

yeah we gotta figure out the buddy stuff. if it does become a plush, its knives become hard little felt scraps, so it helps with chronic pain but still gives a weird lumpy feeling and occasional discomfort.

also because it's funny: info on the newly introduced TCPs from today's oneshot:

allsweet is completely ace and doesn't really want to engage with sex or kink stuff, but is in a relationship where that kind of stuff is expected of her. not exactly a happy time there, but she's dealing it....okay.

chem is a bastard (said somewhat affectionately) of a man outside of its chipper work appearance and definitely likes domination stuff. it doesn't have any partners and prefers to keep its proclivities online...shit we have another soulmates player don't we lmao. it would be really funny if it had some kind of plant themed character for that, but i feel like it would be less interested in character building and more just in it for the hookup connections. the character is a simplified vehicle for chatting someone up, and it has no interest in backstories.

vollus is divorced at least once over and doesn't talk about it much with anyone, though there's definitely a feeling of him having comfort needs that are unfulfilled since. no interest in getting into a new relationship, at least outwardly. he is also like 50 fucking years old so he is OLD for a TCP. probably reads a lot of saucy novels and likes to fantasize about it, but can make himself sad at the same time. probably into foodplay or something, but it needs to be fancy.

woe is 100% a romantic and also an older TCP, probably around 30 or so. she hasn't had a relationship held down properly in years, and laments this to any friends who will listen. that said, she probably isn't into kink stuff- just wants to be cuddled. that said, if she ever got a partner with interests, she'd probably want to fill them.

[AceOfNothing]

Is Allsweet in like... a good relationship besides that? Or is she having just... A Time.

I think an argument could be made for plants in playmates/soulmates. Maybe a succulent or aloe plant or something? Could just modd the game more tbf. And curious, does Chem not want a partner in real life is it just not looking right now? Is it only like... digitally horny?

curious if Vollus ended up volunteering after the divorce to like... fill the void. Would love a story behind that honestly im just interested.

Woe is a busy girl running a business, hope she can find someone sometime to cuddle, but at least she has her pets.

[skinstealer]

allsweet's relationship status:

that's all i want to say without potentially spoiling stuff considering she is probably going to be the focus on that pet shelter part 2 oneshot...how much beyond that would be shown in a story is up to whether people want to fund her adventures, i guess!

chem doesn't exactly see itself as a Good Person and would rather people not be around it in general. it's fine knowing people in a professional capacity, especially in this kind of volunteer work bringing it a sense of penance, but it has very big self worth issues even if theyre wrapped in a sort of devil-may-care attitude about it. we're not actually sure what chem DID to get to the point where it doesn't see itself as a person worth caring about beyond what it can do professionally, but it doesn't have too many ties and prefers to keep it that way. digital hookups, possibly on multiple accounts/characters so it can ghost as needed, are its preference.

vollus' most recent divorce was a long time ago. i can definitely see signing up with the shelter being a way for him to fill time that would otherwise be spent moping, but he likes to keep himself busy and his thoughts away from any dangerous pitfalls.

woe is a sweetie pie and i know that percy does want to draw some cute cuddly art of her at some point, even if it's just stuff like her wearing cute fluffy sweaters.

[AceOfNothing]

Oh okay that's a thought, do the tcps have like naughty "sexy" picture sites and magazines? Is that considered too far for them? They're allowed to wear lingerie
Could sew an Only fans sorta deal being more popular, or type/kink specific sites. 
Funny visual gag of a facebank type just looking at pictures of coins and hiding it from their friends.

also just really love this crew, do wanna see them more and I'm happy they have the shelter even when other stuff is going on. Will figure out how to get them talked about more
And Allsweet, said it on discord but absolutely want more of her adventures. 
sgshdb Don't really have nsfw stuff for em, maybe the character thread sometime. 

And here's some Misc thoughts-

• Sound types definitely make playlists for their partners and probably have very specific horny music
  
• I think Toenail types, similar to tooth types, would probably let partners take care of them. Like trim the nails, paint them, maybe if they have an artsy partner even let them paint full pictures.
  
• Tcps would be into asmr. Doesn't have to be horny, can be horny, but I think theyd be a bit prone to it.
  
• Wing types probably have similar relationship practices as birds (maybe like building things for eachother, and preening)
  
• Snowglobe types might be into their partners shaking them a bit? Think it might get them into something similar to a subspace? Idk
  
• Hawk types are a more prone to bird partners so they can still link talons and free fall from the sky
  

[skinstealer]

yeah they absolutely have horny websites and media. it was something i've thought about for a long time before making this stuff canon but always felt like "oh people would find it gross" but fuck it it's real now. people in-universe probably have mixed feelings on it depending on how their local area and culture treats TCPs but they are around and varying degrees of accessible based on location. they probably vary in what's allowed by publishing companies and shops to sell in- some things would probably be seen as Too Far for like, a convenience store magazine rack, etc, but online is often a wild west. i imagine those standards are really varied though and less cut and dry than stuff IRL, where you cant show intercourse in a lot of more mainstream pinup mags and certain kinks even on online services like onlyfans. they'd have different cultural standards to it all, which i'd like to figure out sometime. for the sake of things in this thread though, we'll keep topics on the rails- as the opening post says, even if stuff on the banned list would potentially exist  in-universe, i don't wanna engage with discussion about it.

onlyfans type deal as well as camsites would be pretty popular, yeah. there's an interesting sort of thing around anonymity with TCPs...they're the dominant population on morbit due to the way they reproduce via thought, and basic, single type TCPs  are just palette swaps. in that sense, having one knife type differing from another online is no big deal, and you'd be able to blend in with a crowd pretty effectively, especially if there were multiple members of your typing. but that's the thing- types are so varied, and more obscure (and thus less spawned) typings would have less anonymity online than something like a cat type or a tree. and then you get into TCPs with modifiers, conditions, anomalies, designer markings- depending on how significant they are, that makes them extremely identifiable, especially if their work is widespread. IRL it's recommended for pornstars to either not have tattoos or cover them up so they can resume daily life easier without being recognized- what happens when your entire look is identifiable on sight, even moreso if you're banking on that for appeal? i'd say that any sex work for a TCP, especially a more visually unique one, is often something you have to be willing to commit to hard as a main gig in that sense. people who do want to do this privately do exist, though, and i can actually imagine costuming and disguise work to be a really common part of producing kink media for a TCP audience.

(i showed rime this part a bit early and they reminded me this goes for morbitians as a whole- it's food for thought! i can see it being especially prominent for smaller construct species or "one off" constructs, scrap ghosts, fiends, etc. when your world is sparklefurries you become VERY identifiable.)

it would be funny to figure out what kind of niches different typings would try to fill in these spaces, though- and which ones subvert those typings! so much to chew on. for example, a knife type doing very gentle care- there would be a sensation of risk if the blades were uncovered, but if the model/worker was careful enough, that risk would be comforted by the feeling of "they would never hurt me", and i feel like there's something interesting to that. really, it's all character based!

onto the type thoughts...

sound types are absolutely often into audio play- it'd be a natural niche for their typing, considering they have such intricate control of sound in question. i would say it goes beyond playlists and into stuff like ASMR, audio roleplay, phone/voice calls, the works. a sound type could change their voice, i'd imagine, and that could get pretty fun too. one man cast for something like a hypno subliminal or an audio roleplay, perhaps? in general, i do feel like TCPs would lean into stuff like ASMR and sensory videos in general, considering that sort of stimulation is more akin to how they feel sexuality/sensuality in general.

toenail types getting some love makes me happy. you know the nail art/care scene there goes crazy. i imagine that they're also rather sensitive because, well, toes. good for snuggling and such!

wing types having bird-like interests is a neat concept, i do like that. preening for sure, that'd be a necessary care thing- and i could see them using their feathers as nesting material or just a way to make things comfier. i can also see situations where both them and other TCPs that can fly (no matter how illogical it may seem, yes i am talking about stuff like bumblebee where they have tiny ass wings) would do dance-like courtship displays.

i love the idea of shaking a snowglobe type as a form of roughhousing play- while also being careful not to break the dome itself. in general, being a fragile TCP would be an interesting experience that i can honestly give a lot of (objective) personal thoughts on as someone with a very delicate Body Situation- for another time, probably. but for snowglobe types? absolutely could see a subspace thing.

similar type partnerships...it's interesting, and something i want to elaborate on with Haven as a setting for sure. i think it's expected that TCPs with at the very least similar  typings would get together for compatibility reasons, whether that's in a relationship, friendship, and just generalized living situations. that camaraderie can be very important, especially when certain typings are so far and few between spread-wise, but sometimes, especially in the cases of multiplicative creature type auras, it can get messy! stuff like what you mentioned with hawk types is absolutely a good example for why a TCP would pick a similar type partner, however- some things feel more natural that way, like courtship displays. however! i think it's a fun challenge to figure out how radically different types can fill those niches with each other, too.

bonus because i was thinking about it earlier: current Soulmates Character Roster (no names for the characters im figuring that out when they come to us)

Raggedy: anthro 90's style computer, or maybe some kind of iMac situation if i wanted to go for style points? creepy theme, glitches out regularly. has a zombie-like walk cycle.
Raggedy's Partner Who Needs A Name: a cartoony plush angel (yes, the morbitian ones) with a fake blood-dripping grin, bigger than raggedy's character. loves to use a mod command that lets them pick up raggedy's character and carry them around, second life RLV style (basically scripts that let you control another person's avatar, primarily used for BDSM)
Buddy: a soft bee-themed plush with a fat build and a prosthetic leg mod. it likes to see itself in the avatar, and got its primary inspiration from susie, its bee type plush from void session. character may even be named "susan", or "lazy susan", or something.
Hark: scissor-themed anthro, has blade legs and claws. not actually able to harm anyone in game outside of deliberate fight interactions, but she puts socks on the blades anyway for realism's sake. buddy thinks this character is really cute.
Chem: potted plant anthro wearing punk, BDSM-style clothing. often gives its character a riding crop to carry around, and a threatening walk cycle.

[AceOfNothing]

Makes sense that different zones have different feelings on it, imagine Hearth is probably the easiest place for tcps to find stuff. Couldn't imagine something in Solitude. I feel like there's probably sites for specific categories of types, like some something called "The Bakery" that specializes in food type tcps, or maybe some with the tasty modifier, or "Blacksmiths Lair" that's partly about helping Weapon types feel sexy.  

Thinking about models/workers specifically now, I think type would effect how willing you are to be recognizable online. Like you said, hundreds of cats types so it's probably easier to blend in + might be better to blend in, but something like a tooth type might like standing out and building an audience, and are you really gonna fuck with a tooth type? Tooth type might have too many.... cannibalism type, you wouldn't fuck with them probably. They could be more standoutish. 
Also feel like a fun market here would be a cat who helps other cats take pictures for their partners like this (or themselves). Build a brand on helping other cats feel more comfortable and learn to pose or explore things. 
Sex positivity thoughts 

Same still goes for morbitians in general, hi morbitians in general Okay talking about the subversion thing just reminds me that that's also a thing in asmr. I use asmr to sleep so don't think about it horny a lot (really avoid the blatantly horny ones so ah), but tcp would be so good for it. I gotta think about this some other time, this isn't the thread. But will say: Body mod role plays are a whole thing with asmr. Hair cuts, doctor visits, surgery prep (this plus doctors are often used for comfort for people who have something big coming up), tattoos and piercings, makeovers (feel like this would be fun for cats who can't actually wear make up), and there was a trend a few years ago about drawing your face that was like step by step "making" your face I think could be a like "Extreme Designer Makeover ASMR". Something like "Knife type treats your wound asmr" would be really popular 
You don't gotta respond to this ramble. 

I just wanna say Sound type I actually thought would make a good asmrtist so that's funny to me. I have thought about a couple that would be good for the role. im not gonna keep rambling about this.  

Toenail type and finger type and claw type would all be good nail care buddies, and I think some creature types might even enjoy watching videos of them getting that care as some like... wish fulfillment? Like a cat type doesn't have claws, likes watching a video of a claw type getting filed and painted and imagines its their paw. Niche but think there's a couple tcp that would do this 

In love with the idea flight related tcps do little courtship dances. That's so cute and makes a lot of sense. Think like, it probably is easier between other flight cats to understand it, bit finding a partner who is also willing is very important. Especially like, dancing is such a small thing, it's probably one of the easiest things your partner could ask to do with you. 

Snowglobe types and potion types, sometimes you maybe just wanna be shaken up a little. I think part of the thrill *is* that you have to be careful pretty much all the time, being able to trust your partner to be rough with you would probably take a lot.  

I wanna figure out some common type pairings at some point, but maybe not now. That could be a Whole post though, including the unpredictable match ups. 

Love the characters oooh. Do think it's neat that there's scripts that let you control another character, and I like the Lazy Susan as a name for Buddy's character.
Also you said socks, but honestly I thought sock puppets, which I think would be more of a Buddy influence (convince Hark to give the socks Googly Eyes)

[Pichi2214]

tcp asmr makes me want to point out the fact that tcp voices are based on the noun that they are so thats probably something interesting to mess with

also i did not know that wings are like morbit common, they Just Work even if it doesn't make sense, that's fascinating (and also very fun cause that means all my characters where i thought itd be unreasonable for them to fly, Can fly so ooo)

[skinstealer]

oh yeah solitude is largely sex-negative. it's bad out there. hearth and precipice are probably your best places for sex-positive stuff in general...though hoopla is a mixed bag. there's a pretty big sex work scene but depending on where you are it could have a lot of exploitation involved considering how deeply rooted capitalism and a focus on money and power is into hoopla society. consumption sucks ass and wonder is fairly neutral (though would probably have a good amount of tech involved.) for TCPs, though? yeah. there's a reason why hearth is the biggest center for them having resources for kink and otherwise, aside from calliope (out of our system's named regions, anyway.)

different specialty things are 100% a thing. would be fun to develop those, i'm gonna put that in my pocket when thinking about characters and their preferences. will return to that later.

and yeah i definitely think security and safety are a big thing with how public you want to be as a morbitian sex worker/model, similar to the real world but on a much larger scale due to how easy it is to be Visible in a crowd and have notable identifiers. we've actually heard of similar modeling sessions to the confidence-building stuff but i cannot for the LIFE of me remember what that kind of thing is called. there are definitely services for it, though, in both the real world and morbit!

TCP voices would be soooo ideal for ASMR you're so right. i don't have any interest in the tingles aspect (i just do not get the reaction) but i enjoy sensory videos a lot for thinking about textures and materials- i feel like TCPs, who are so prone to developing interests in sensory aspects, would go apeshit for different types of sounds and voices and textures. roleplaying would be so prominent- possibly why something like soulmates took off? it would be fucking hilarious if there were stuff like how people on SL/VRchat have developed tech that syncs in game stuff with IRL devices with that game. Extreme Horny Second Sims Life Station 13.

i feel like working on communities where people use their typings to uplift each others' dysphoria is very much a thing in haven, though maybe more underground/reclusive. it's kind of expected in haven that you'll go with the flow on whatever your typing(s) are and people who don't fit those mold might be treated as kind of weird- that's why a lot of our TCPs in that assisted living facility we're working on are in there.

yeah wings dont ALWAYS just work but i feel like a lot of them do. it's totally up to whoever's writing/designing the character. some characters may have wings but feel incapable of using them as a mental block, whereas others don't have huge amounts of strength to use them. ultimately it is a cartoon universe and i want some of my characters to have itty bitty wings that work.

i will return with more thoughts, especially on the different websites/media thing, but im gonna go do some petz stuff first.

[AceOfNothing]

Fire Pit type is one that I did sorta recently that hit me with "would have a good voice for asmr" so fully agree. Honestly a lot where I have gone through the notes and been like "good voice, bad voice" especially since like.... unintelligible babble is an asmr thing so.... even a typeless would work. Moving on cause I'll keep talking about asmr, it's less about tingles for me more for just background sound.
Also I love that part of this thread is just developing Soulmates

 I've definitely heard about the confidence modeling thing, no idea if it really has a name, but I really really think it would be for tcps, or on morbit in general. Haven seems like it would at least have a place for it 

Interesting to know that Haven isn't really great for body mod stuff. I'd assume then there's a town nearby (close to an underground sort of deal) of people from Haven at some point who wanted the change and got kinda run out of town. Little rivalry of "we're actually more accepting than them"  

Argument could be made: Tcp are kinda made based on what people think about when they think of the Noun, so if they think of something like a bee they imagine it flying. Thus bee could, somehow, be able to fly. 

Not a lot of thoughts on the moment about nsfw stuff, interested to see the other thoughts you have later

[skinstealer]

fire pit makes total sense, and i could imagine that while i think youd have to be Pretty Brave to be in a physical relationship with one while lit (i dont actually know if theyre permanently lit??? and i still havent decided if TCP fire/lava/etc is as destructive as normal stuff. i want to say it's kind of charmander-y in that directly touching it will burn you but you're not constantly setting fire to shit by existing.) a lot of TCPs would enjoy the warmth of being near them. maybe laying next to one while they do ASMR voice stuff would be nice.

yeah there are definitely nearby settlements like that. i dont know how established or large they are, but i can definitely see it and that'd be an awesome thing to explore.

thoughts that ive been mulling over casually in the background, and a new conversation topic: things that TCPs we have recently talked/thought about would look up either online or in IRL media.

buddy: plush stuff, weapon type-friendly tips, tricks, and gear for intimacy, plush TF more specifically/the process of being given a plush modifier, roleplaying guides and maybe even different roleplaying systems that involve weapon type/disability friendly mechanics, etc.
primus: thinks about morbit googling BDSM/kink stuff and gets scared like he's committing a crime. would look at stuff lover sends him though either online or in person. just not brave enough to do it himself
marnet: recipes for dad to make (horny)
chem: different BDSM techniques/gear, lots of bondage stylings and pain-inducing instruments, restraints, the works. his search history would scare BDSM novices for sure, but nothing in there's illegal.
raggedy: objectum stuff, plush stuff, horror genre'd stuff but gets real scared half the time, robots and computers

i had more but then i ate a really good sandwich and it wiped my brain

[skinstealer]

been a bit but let's revitalize discussion here. we've got some characters who have been relevant recently and we gotta discuss their deals. here's some overviews.

desmond- definitely horny, has done some saucy modeling but doesn't post it anywhere, just saves it for the day that he can someday share it with someone. he wouldn't mind if that person is maverick, but he's not about to send nudes to someone unprompted and fuck up a friendship. still, sometimes he wishes he could ask a little...

maverick- probably horny but repressing it. it tells itself repeatedly that magic isn't For that but it can't help but wonder about applications. has definitely made a sexy charm for someone and then gone "no this is ridiculous. i can't do this this is silly" and never did it again. it still gets morbit etsy requests on whether it could make another one because it ended up reviewing really good.

jerri- loves her husband. we don't have much down for jerri but she's probably ace but cuddly?

ichor- no idea.

butane- thirsty as fuck for cute women but he has a hard time expressing that and is kind of busy helping his sister out. still, he has a thing for cute femme TCPs, and while he has just about zero experience with anything related to sex or romance, he can't help but think about it from time to time. probably has a few dirty magazines stuffed into a corner of his room that he looks at and judges the models in. probably bisexual.

stellaris- has five million flings and uses them as a way to make potion sales- her boss fucking hates this and calls her a lot of shitty names for it, and truth be told, she doesn't get a lot out of it outside of the handful of guys who stick around and take her out for dates sometimes. nonzero amount of sugar daddies. has a thing for strong bad boys with a heart of gold, though finding one with the latter being prominent is hard to get.

adele- neutral on sex stuff, has tried it before and it's not for her. hard to tell if she just doesn't like people or if it's more of an ace thing, but for her, it's just not important. has to handle a lot of sex-related scraps though while traveling around motels, so she probably has a good idea of a lot of different kinds of experiences secondhand.

maurice zap- uhhh. stays single because he wants to remain a dreamboat bachelor to his adoring audience but probably does fantasize about a relationship with a hot, rugged guy. likes big TCPs that could pick him up and carry him around. if he's had partners before, it likely did not go well, and i could picture people accusing said partners of "stealing him". parasocial shit!

i am not going into sickle because their schtick is highly unpleasant

after we get a bit of discussion in...house character time

[AceOfNothing]

I have never once considered the idea of sex scrap of my god. Makes sense I just... I think I forgot how easy it is for scrap to be made.

Desmond and Maverick do not know how to actually flirt with eachother but probably do accidentally I think. Or Desmond does maybe, I really think he has a crush. I'm not sure about Maverick, but I want him to be happy. I really like him

Sugar daddy and sugar baby tcps was also not something I considered but I See It. I hope Stellaris is careful at least.

I feel bad for Maurice. Fame has its perks of course, but I feel like, even ignoring parasocial stuff, its hard to date just because youd worry that your partner is only there because of fame or money. You probably lose like... the ability to trust "honest relationships" a little.
Parasocial stuff would definitely effect friendships as well, especially with like other hosts. Thinking about how youtubers have admitted to not working with eachother as much because of fans and shipping... larger scale of that as well ah. Just sounds like a bad time


Anyone play Soulmates? Might be good for Butane

[skinstealer]

yeah sex scraps are very much a thing and there's a market for it. a whole industry perhaps...interesting to think about

desmond and maverick absolutely do this by accident but it totally goes over both of their heads, especially maverick's. it is not super cognizant of that kind of thing

stellaris is decidedly Not careful but maybe someday things will look up for her...

yeah that's a big concern for maurice. it's either date another celebrity and have people go rabid or date someone not in the spotlight and have paparazzi find out and make their life a living hell, and you never know if people are being genuine about it. he definitely has his big time connections, but it's hard to say how deep those bonds go. with some? definitely deep. others, they play it safe.

butane would enjoy soulmates but would need someone stellaris to get him into it. he'd be worried about being seen as cringe or a pervert and then proceed to make the most basic bitch tough guy avatar ever. stellaris would play if she was more computer savvy, and would probably have some kind of marble toy avatar. something curvy and full of paint swirls.

some more characters that i either missed the first time around or saved for now

weiss- probably a little thirsty but doesn't have good vocabulary for it. i would not recommend dating weiss but we have some friends thirsting over it already so i guess there is a market for a lesbian needle doctor. i hope you enjoy

james- very Very Very thirsty for limbo specifically but unable to express that at all due to overseer surveillance- it is legitimately a security threat. would probably be into medical play but that would be very fucking difficult to do without simultaneously triggering either himself or limbo. aside from that, he likes limbo being a zombie- it's a very weird thing for a TCP to like, not because "ewww a corpse" like a complex would feel but because morbitian TCPs don't leave corpses, he kind of just sees limbo as a clammy squishy guy who needs to have his seams wiped up and re-stitched every so often. he thinks the awful rotting texture is unique to limbo and special, and would get very offended if anyone called his partner gross. would 100% play soulmates if people weren't stalking his computer access.

shrump- this guy gets around. they have two partners outside of the house (though i guess one of them is in there now...) and have made moves with mist, and they love doting on people soooo much- to a fault, as they can overextend and do so frequently. they love the idea of being precious to the people they love and it means so so much that mist was willing to try a piece of them. food type rituals are weird and vore-y!

mist- similar to james, mist would also get offended if anyone called shrump gross, but she's well aware that they are and they don't mind it at all. probably a little into vore but also knows that it's kind of a maladaptation of her ability and doesn't want to engage with that. very fond of kisses though, and would probably enjoy being submissive to an extent.

simon- ace, not aro. does not like sex stuff and thinks other people doing PDA stuff is gross. part of this is influenced by being on fire all the time.

george- also kind of perturbed by PDA but more just "agh i wish theyd be private about it". they do not engage with much but do enjoy reading romance novels and other fiction that can involve intimacy. it's just not for them.

bunny- sort of ace, has never had a partner but does wonder what it's like. doesn't matter now that he's dead! (or so he thinks...)

annabelle- not sure yet! being intimate with her does mean you have to be ready for dust in your face and all over you, though.

hen-

[AceOfNothing]

So you're saying Annabelle accidentally makes Shrump Worse. 
Man I want Mist and Annabelle to meet, maybe even without Shrump. It Would Be Interesting. The Drama
Shrumps soap opera saga okay

Curious about Weiss... Would it be more interested in romance with non tcp? Dom sub stuff with other cats? I get that it's in a bit of a strange roll so I wonder what that effects.

Is it weird to say I wonder if there's a cat they are putting through like... intimacy based tests. Hmmm

I wonder if Maurice has been in any fake relationships. Like "marketing wants us to date to boast ratings". Weirdly I think itd be a good way to make a friend 

Shrump is the funniest cat to get around, sorry

And going back to the first post, I wonder what the sexy charm did. Helped someone feel more confident? Protected them from having a bad time? Wonder what it would take for him to do it again

[skinstealer]

i did not even consider the dust combo with shrump. oh god. yeah that's pretty nasty

re: mist and annabelle meeting, you have the power to influence these things....how i will not say, that is up for you to discover

i don't want to think about the idea of weiss dating a non-TCP because the only complexes it knows are overseers and That Would Be Fucking Horrible And Probably Something It's Thought About. awful. it would very much be interested in being a dom but i feel like it wouldn't be very. careful. at all
but who knows if it was in a better situation it might be really chill about that. who can say!

putting on my non-sexy hat for a sec (this convo is totally fine i just want to make it clear this statement isnt fetish stuff, it is serious plot/lore)

sexual exploitation discussionyes there are TCPs put through intimacy based tests and they are about as fucked up as you can guess. this is something we want to figure out how to depict because james is fucking TERRIFIED of possibly being put through something like this but also we're stuck in the pit of current maze trials being a 16+ interactive project and we would not feel comfortable putting sexual exploitation directly on screen and also in a situation where the audience controls a participant in that. it would feel really weird and a bit too adjacent to a lot of the shit we saw on tgchan/questden! it is something we want to take on topically though to really demonstrate how deeply fucked these trials run, but it's, uh. yeah. it's rough.

maurice has absolutely been in a fake relationship for ratings and he probably keeps in touch secretly with said person. they had a lot of fun together on all their mock dates, even if there wasn't any romantic chemistry. perhaps sexual though.............

i think maverick would do it again if someone actually close to it asked about it- but also, it doesn't have a lot of friends, let alone people who would ask for that. as for what the charm did, probably mood setting?

[AceOfNothing]

I know I have the power somehow but man I have no idea how to make it happen
might be a goal though, I'm really curious. Shrump is accidentally causing so much drama, you all are very lucky The House isn't a visual thing otherwise you'd have to draw them so much

Absolutely fair about Weiss, didn't think that through enough. Not surprised it wouldn't be careful, sad but not surprised. Hope for better times for it, dont expect that though.

I Will Also Spoil This (Sexual Exploitation) Yeah I'm not surprised by that, makes sense what you're saying though.  Maybe something for a twine, maybe a bit further down the line.

I do wonder what Maurice would be into. Maybe like... office role-playing stuff, just pretending to be "normal coworkers". Makes sense that these fake partners might be casual hook up material though, same boat as far as real relationships so might be the best for scratching the itch.
