so this won’t post? but my test post will? what the fuck.
as i’m puttering around at work i’m adding words to the Porn Epilogue of Lost Cat (I wouldn’t write porn at work if anyone else were here, but ffs it’s seven in the morning and I’ve been here an hour, reality has no meaning)
(and i’m not just slacking off, it really does take forever to import photos to this computer)
and not only does this AU’s Poe have tattoos, he’s also incredibly subby, and I really didn’t intend for that, I wanted this to be super vanilla. But Finn just flipped him over to look and see if he has any tattoos on his back, and he’s so turned-on he can’t breathe because Finn is so competent at moving him around.
For fuck’s sake, AU!Poe, why are you like this.
You know, I really wanted to write one where he was kind of a prude, too, and that just didn’t happen. I can’t, with this guy.
Writing an Earth AU does drive home to me, a little bit, the fact that the normal Poe is, in fact, an alien. I’m always aware on some level that I’m kind of translating him through an Earth filter; he’s a little bit removed. It’s kind of weird and kind of a revelation to write him as an Earth native. I don’t know that there’s any difference to the reader, but there’s a bunch of difference to me, conceptually.
I guess it drives home to me that your subconscious influences are almost as important as your conscious influences, y’know? This is all coming out of my head, but it’s not all stuff I intend!
