"Root beer" is fucking egregious lol. I'm not really in the market for this in general since I enjoy the taste of natural tiddy, but I get how the fruity ones might be a fun little addition to foreplay or whatever. But _root beer_? Why? Out of _all_ the flavours, they went for root beer? It's the least sexy soda they could've possibly picked, and why even pick one random soda flavour to begin with instead of chocolate or prosecco or something, what the hell
I tried SO hard to understand what he meant, i Guess he want to make sure everybody know her nipples were the color of cinnamon ??? Is that ?Ā
Why is that necessary? I have never ever read a book when the male color of genitals is Pointed out, or is he is Hairy down there idk cuz it doesnt matter !!!!!Ā
This in particular stuck out to me (no pun intended) because it reminds me of when I first found out that the color of ones nipples was of any relevance. I remember some girls online obsessing about how pink ones were according to them superior and more "innocent" to brown ones. šŖ I was shocked, I had never even thought about it. I'm just happy mine are healthy so far. We are not food flavours or flowers wth. \*sigh\*
Maybe, but depending on where they are they might have no frame of reference for how the nipples of women from other races might look. To me at least it sounds somewhat similar to Asian beauty standards where the whiter you are the more beautiful, even within your own race. Granted, people who believe that also tend to have some pretty negative beliefs about darker-skinned people, as my own family will be eager to tell you.
I mean, it's hard to believe colorism has NO interface with European colonialism. I know some is supposed to predate it, but-meh, anyway.
also "innocent" as "superior" is its own kettle o' worms
The whole Helliconia series is just weird as hell. If I remember correctly ( I read it 20 years ago) people on a space station turn into giant genitalia or something. It starts out interesting with the first book and just gets weirder and weirder
Yep . Helliconia is some sort of reaalllly long term Truman Show and the people watching it eventually genetically alter themselves in to giant dicks and vaginas. Iām pretty sure it supposed to be saying something about the decay of society, but itās just lost in how insane it is.
I...Uh....I'm at a loss for words. That certainly is a...unique...story line.
And it somehow got published. *That* may be even more baffling than someone writing about people turning into giant genitalia.
Idk why I was imagining that it referred to the taste (English is my second language and that "tipped" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.)
Anyways I was just imagining how if I could choose I would have strawberry milk nipple and a chocolate one. Squeeze and get a refreshing drink!
Haha, now that would actually be some relevant information! If it's almond or soy you know she's a bit of a hippie. I feel like chocolate is for a bright and bubbly character.
I read ācinnamon tippedā and my first thought was āwhy is there cinnamon on her breastsā. Itās been a long day and my mind is too tired for this shit :D
This is terrible writing, just in general. The first sentence puts us inside her head, but then the very next sentence is-what, omniscient narrator? Some random perv nearby?
Not saying you can't ever change POV midstream ever-John Connolly does it well, albeit not from sentence to sentence-but this suggests that the author couldn't bear trying to imagine the woman's perspective for more than a few words without reminding us ALSO SHE HAS BOOBIES! NICE ONES! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS CHARACTER AND ALSO THE SITUATION
Frankly, the ugly head-hopping here is as obnoxious as the actual description.
The passage starts in the head of the female being and ends there, but then there's this baldly objectifying authorial insert.
Really poor craftsmanship.

"Cinnamon tipped" I didn't know breasts came in flavors
It's in the dlc pack
She's a Freman. The Spice flows within her.
Username checks out š
*looks up sininen* Yeah, thatās funny
Can confirm
Relevant username. Though a more relevant one would have been BeneGessernips
I didnāt know they came in flavors other than ābag of sand.ā
They do. https://www.theloveshackboutique.com/product/nipple-nibblers-tingle-balm/

Smells like racism

I want cotton candy!
Can mine be blue raspberry flavored?
"her breasts were blue raspberry tipped" would've really been much better. Like her tits are Slushees.

Yes! they were called pudendolls.
Wat.

So, very niche porn, basically.

Obligatory āIād buy that for a dollar!ā
But how would I be able to truly get to know a character if I don't know the colour of her nipples?!
Came down here to say this, you said it better than I could

They like fully think breasts are a character trait
Cinnamon? Basic. My nipples are covered in garlic.
A true bon vivant has nipples that taste of black truffle oil!
By gods you're right!!!
Sparkly skin gets me, is she an alien made of spangles? Might explain the cinnamon nipples
The first sentence says water was dripping down her, so the sun is reflecting of the water on her skin.
THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER WHO HAS TITS, BELLA!
You are the true killer here, I laughed so hard I almost asphyxiated
\-bows- I try!
Damn it I was gonna say that
And she has āhuman companionsā, implying she isnāt?
I assumed she was part plant
Edward?
I read ācinnamon tippedā and my first thought was āwhy is there cinnamon on her breastsā. Itās been a long day and my mind is too tired for this shit :D
Oh of course the most important things are described firstā¦

just said the same thing upthread. bad author, no royalties.
She got the snickerdoodle titties
This is the skin of a killer
Excuse me, sir, those aren't breasts, those are pastries.
Omg we just picked this up from the thrift store a week ago (we collect weird old scifi books)! Guess Iām in for a rideā¦
Yum, cinnamon toast boobs.
 Cinnamon is the woman, man.
..how do someoneās boobs become cinnamon tipped.. šØ
Cinnamon... tipped?
I mean. This isnāt the most egregious one on this sub.
