Variations on a theme

[barefootgirl69]

No worries. I'll ask the mods to delete this thread...

Don't you dare.

I know it's frustrating at the moment. Take a breath and calm down.

My timing isn't awkward in the slightest...

But this is the only thread I feel comfortable enough to share pics of myself and that's entirely due to the fact that it prioritises pic appreciation over thirst.

I would be very sad to see it go because a few people insist on not respecting the boundaries that everyone else welcomes

TL : DR Be a fucking grown up and read the room.

This is absolutely true for me as well (@RosewoodTulip's comments above). The sense of this thread being a little more playful, and a lot less thirsty than other pic threads is really important to me and I appreciate @Saltfountain and others who help maintain boundaries.

It is a smidge over the line at the moment with a few people not being able to read the memo (and the OP) and feeling (incorrectly) singled out. Not every single person and every single post that crosses the excessive thirst line is going to get called out. We all have a little more of a trigger for this or that person compared to others because of our knowledge of their posting history or previous interactions. That's human. If you feel singled out, get over it and grow the fuck up.

I love that a whole range of personal pics get posted here and that both men and women feel comfortable posting to the challenge for the day (like now) or week (most of the rest of the year).

It takes energy and creativity to keep a thread like this lively and interesting especially with more than a month of new themes daily. And it takes energy and patience to try to moderate a thread to hold a different sensibility and provide a sense of safety and acceptance for those of us who really don't want to feel whistled at or cat called and feel shy or uncertain about our bodies. (Here I want to echo @barefootgirl69 and ask @Saltfountain to please take a breath and don't give up on this project.)

When some people come to this thread and just comment on the people who are most comfortable showing skin and are maybe younger or thinner or better photographers and overlook everyone else who posts here, that can feel a little icky for people who receive extra attention AND for people who don't. Which is why just choosing an emogi that reflects your appreciation is your first choice. And maybe think for a full 2 minutes before you post a response. Ask yourself - am I adding any content here? Might my comments feel "thirsty" to folks reading them? And then...just try to be a grown up.

Thanks.

Lindi, just three dangling panties on her foot, the imagined invitation to take her like that as she lays on the bed. The gorgeous ass that you can see. I really have to say the entire picture is just so sexy

When @lindi_85 asked you what was sexy about @JustAnotherFlower ‘s pic, she wasn’t asking what your fantasy about the pic is. No woman on this particular thread wants to know that you are imagining her pose as an invitation to take her in some fashion. We don’t want to know what you want to do to or with our bodies. Most women here don’t want comments on specific body parts.

Telling people that they are sexy or hot isn’t the point of this thread. We all know that some of the pics posted here are sexy, but don’t make commenting on someone’s body or how much you like them the point of any comments. And, if you can’t focus your comments on the aspects of the photo itself (lighting, composition, color, etc), then don’t comment. Just leave a reaction.

@Saltfountain - This thread is my absolute favorite thread on Lit, both to view and to post in. I know it can get frustrating to deal with people who can’t follow simple requests. But the people who appreciate this thread, and you for managing it and bringing your creativity to it, far outweigh the problem posters.

This thread is about the creativity one brings to the post when given a prompt. The ingenuity, the concept. Someone can take it and be sexy, or playful, or a hundred other things, but that's the part we are being appreciative for. How they think outside the box.

Salty's threads are two of my favorites, even if I'm just watching and "liking".

My holey left leg contribution. These leggings are so comfy and I won’t give them up!


I love this pic thread more than any other on here and it would be sad to see it end because of some ignorant commenters who can’t read the rules and have a little decorum.

I don’t always post, but like @barefootgirl69 said, it’s where the prompt will take someone. My favorite yesterday was @Biggalute ’s bent over elf Please don’t take that away over a couple of “Thought this was AmPics” twatwaffles!

No worries. I'll ask the mods to delete this thread...

Please don't. You know I don't post my pic anywhere on lit except here. This thread brings me joy, brings out my artistic side and give me something to look forward to every week as the theme changes. If you delete this thead that means a very small handful of assholes win, and people like me lose the only place on lit they feel safe to post their pics. Don't let the assholes win Salt.

Left leg…

I just went with it being on the left side of the pic. Is this left enough ?

Not to derail the lighthearted conversation, but I'll allow it. I am sure salty does too he was just a little distracted by the troll.

You are gorgeous, but those are the hottest shoes I have ever seen.

I so enjoy catching you! You are always a treat!

I mean I wouldn’t ruin them in the shower

I would hope not!

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I freaking love that I had a photo in the archives that worked

Viola! One very long left leg

 

[lingus60]

It was fun while it lasted. The thirst has won. Peace out

Hey mate... please don't go. You have many friends on here who love what you do for us. Ignore the one or two prats who want to spoil things!

 

[lingus60]

Which part of "I've no problem with that" did you fail to read?

Do you have any idea what this thread's about? Have you bothered to try to read the room? A polite suggestion: try posting an appropriate pic or two. If not, please don't fuck up one of the best threads on lit!

Dear @Saltfountain , please don't delete this thread. It's one of two that I post pictures in and feel comfortable because they seem to be (in my experience) the only ones where others don't comment about what they'd like to do with my body. I love the creativity of this thread and that people post both sexy pics and those of their day to day. It's a welcome space for everyone that wants to share, and in their own way. Its the first thread I open every day that I log on. I don't always participate or comment, but I always enjoy looking through it! Please consider that this is a happy, safe space for many, as the comments above speak for themselves. Keep the thread alive.

I agree with what everyone else is saying, only just discovered this thread and would be great to see it continue!

Don’t let the Hosers win, Salty.

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

@Saltfountain
I woke up hoping to find today’s theme… I was hoping you had changed your mind. This thread is my favorite and I look forward to each new theme. Please don’t let them win!!

 

[MiaBabe23]

This is completely not my place since it’s Saltfountain’s thread, and I’m so far lacking courage to share any pics, but could I suggest a theme, to remind him how valued the thread is?
Maybe something like
Salt or Fountain?

 

[summer_reine]

3 left legs you say?

*Edit* I just caught up on the thread. I posted a few pictures here because it felt safe. I felt I could be creative and tease a little without exposing myself to ick. And that's been my positive experience here. I hope you continue this thread, we appreciate you and we appreciate this space. But I also hope you do what's best for you if it is becoming too stressful and frustrating.
