femmenerd yelled at us. At us, guys.

Anywho, she's talking about smut. Yes, textual porn, ladies, the kind that makes you squirm in your chair. And she wants to know which fics go straight to your libido, or someone's libido, because anonymous commenting is on. Not the thinky fics, folks, unless the thinky does it for you too, or there's thinky and something that does it for you. The kind that make you ashamed you kept reading just because they were really hot, the kind that make you want to leave TMI in the comments, the ones that make you want to have babies (except for the whole giving birth thing. And everything after that. And the pregnancy thing). Go leave links here.

In other news, ~~why is it I've never heard amygdala called the lizard brain before?~~ eta: Because it's not, actually, but anyway, what I mean is I've never heard the term "lizard brain". !!! Thank you for the info, marenfic! Do you know, everywhere I go, I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by people who know more than me. Oh wait, I am. But sometimes I think everyone's going to get advance notice for Rapture but me, and everyone'll be talking about it, and I'll be going huh, with the what now, because I'm not even sure what the Rapture's supposed to be anyway.

In other other news, I luff you all and you made me feel better last night and things are looking up up up because my family is full of nutcases.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the amygdala actually controls fear and aggression responses, not sex. The hypothalamus is where you get your sex on. Both are part of the limbic system, which is sometimes referred to as the reptilian complex (i.e. lizard brain). Now you know ;)

You never heard of lizardbrain before? Hunh. What was your major in college?

Here is a Rapture icon for you. I don't know wtf that shit's about either, except apparently, being a Jew, I get to go to Hell. At least, as Angel says, I'll know most of the people.

I'm glad you're feeling better! (And also that my "yelling" is working. :P)

Well, I think you've got a pretty nifty brain. You make thinky posts plus that kinks list that lives on in my brain.

I've never heard of the lizard brain thing either, but the Rapture is vaguely familiar. True believers being lifted to heaven, every one else left to rot? I think. In a comic book once when I was but a wee girl, there was a panel showing a drowning heroine who fantasized about being rescued by a merman while he was kissing her and she called it the Rapture of the Deep, but I don't think that's what it means either.

Possibly I have nothing constructive to add.

I am happy you're feeling better, lovely. *huggles*
