saving an incredibly kind anon message from the gunter quarantine tumblr to here for posterity ~

this is gonna be sappy (my bad, sorry) but when i first stumbled across your blog i was very deep in my own shame for? self-indulgence i guess is the best word for it something about purity culture and all that jazz

and seeing you post so shamelessly about gunter was? enlightening? i remember spending an hour just scrolling through all the tags in your pinned and feeling some sort embarassed curiosity about everything

the love you have for gunter was so oddly infectious in both suddenly wanting to go insane over my own interests and in wanting to crack gunter open like a nut and not being ashamed about finding the sleazier parts about him just so downright interesting

this blog and the gunter posting has helped me start unlearning a lot of shame so please keep horny grandpa posting and thank you for making a space like this horny grandpa posting can be so special

gently takes your hand; anon this is so moving..... ;u; thank you.

you know, there's a tumblr post out there that basically reiterates how important is it to have a genuinely unironic, balls-to-the-wall horny space for yourself (i believe it was from the perspective of a single mom but goes for everyone). in a similar way, personally don't get a lot of IRL privacy for various unavoidable life-circumstances reasons and the older i get the more i genuinely think this is one of those uncompromising spaces that everyone should have.

not just a physical space, but a mental space too. powerfully important, especially in this day and age where there's powers that be that wants to strip that last refuge.

like not gonna lie, in the last few years i was getting better at the whole less-shame-with-drawing-horny (working with JD Riley and my doujin circle broskis was and is a world of good <3), but, man, it's not often you find a character out of the blue that absolutely matches one's freak in regards to private kink specific stuff and then some, quite ferociously so.

it makes me blink in surprise when i war-game some fic or comic type of scripts with my mental conception of him and there's plenty of sleazy as hell depths that haven't even touched yet. there's a quiet relief to it all, for me - and probably for anyone reading this - a strange camaraderie but relief all the same - that one's own id isn't the only one filled with strange, sometimes embarrassing, and sometimes frightening wonders.

wouldn't be an id without that, you know? that shit's special, as you said.

anyway, all that to say i completely understand, and appreciate you right back. <3
