oiran | peeves, upon the reading of anime fanfic (Reply)

The use of "his arousal" when what the author means is "his nice, hard cock." Arousal is a state of being. A cock might be aroused, sure, but it's still a cock. It's like saying "his annoyance" when what you mean is "his fist punching someone in the face."

The thesarus is not necessarily your friend. It might be pretending to be your friend, but it could very well be making fun of you behind your back. If you aren't already familiar with the word, don't use it. Contrary to popular belief, words that appear together in thesaurus entries cannot be used interchangeably in most cases.

Scissoring of two fingers in someone's ass...well, you know, it could be that I have only known especially resilient asses, but I just don't think that would work on healthy tissue. Sure, you can get two fingers in there and wiggle them around, but--to put it indelicately--you really do need some bulk more or less equivalent to what you plan on sticking in there next (i.e., "his arousal") in order to create space, and crossing your fingers won't do much. Well, it might do plenty for the person being diddled, but it won't magically relax sphincter muscles. Even on cartoon boys. Even on dead cartoon boys.

I understand the desire to go on and on about the amethyst eyes of the ~~Mary Sues~~ canon characters, but I think the person or persons who drew them already embarrassed us all on that shamefully girlish, dreamy point by giving them the GIANT PURPLE EYES in the first place. Let's just pretend we're mature people here and keep the rhapsodic mentions of eye color to a minimum.
