Yapping about queer book stuff, brief mentions of kink things

It feels weird that there are a bunch of hyper-specific interpersonal things in Unjust Depths that I apparently just cannot wrap my brain around, at all. I have to either give it credit for challenging my stupid-ass narrow view, because most sapphic fiction cannot challenge me with unfamiliar things ths way, or alternatively I have to give it shit for rudely bullying my tiny little Autistic brain and making me embarrass myself.

Maybe once in a blue moon when I'm reading one of those trans litfic novels, I'll stumble across something that blows my monocle off for a second and I need to stop and comprehend - the weird HIV-quasi-pregnancy-kinkplay in Detransition, Baby is a good example - but it's usually stuff I'll get befuddled over for like, an hour or two before internalising it and rolling with it. No, I did not consider that Wendy would turn things around on her weird eggy clients and make the sex a forcefem thing, when reading Little Fish, but sure right, why not? The ex-Mennonite shit was at least as odd as that.

Somehow though, Unjust Depths has thrown me way more curveballs in its runtime than probably all of those goofy books combined, and in the stupidest little places. Behold, this Autistic brain; it cannot fucking parse butch/femme as a concept! Real top quality grey matter, here.
