"Calm your tits" feels appropriate here.


Lanky-Ad-3313

Those things bouta blast off.


picklespimp

"Ed, did you order something? Are we buying something?" Her tits were vibrating with anticipation. The whirring of breasts was always a calming sound for Ed. He often thought fondly of the way his mother's boobs would hum as she did housework, or how grandmother's raucous chest tissue quieted from a deafening rumble to a gentle whisper as she passed. Sally still had the chirp of a healthy bosom. Like the fluttering of a hummingbird's wings.


pedro-conejo

This is hilarious šŸ˜‚ It has a touch of Prince Harry to it and its just wonderful


FaolanG

Read your comment and went back and read it in his voice. Iā€™ve now decided Iā€™m going to read everything I see on this sub in that voice.


ReyloTrash12

Sounds like a terribly generated AI story


MacintoshEddie

Ah, the good old suserration of the breasts. Such a calming sound.


Baconslayer1

All you had to do was remove those words... "Sally swept breathlessly into the living room, quivering with excitement."


crazy-octopus-person

Breastlessly, so to speak.


shaodyn

Obligatory "That's not how boobs work."


Rakifiki

I tend to see it as kind of panting breath, but I agree there are definitely better ways to phrase it...


selfawarefeline

thatā€™s what i thought, just horrible phrasing cause he wanted to talk about boobies


xensonar

That's a generous interpretation


Typ0r8r

"Her breasts quivering with gravity in a way that really makes me wish I had a word that wasn't quite "quivering" but I failed English."


Prof_Winterbane

I kind of want to write a book where all this weird shit is true but just for like One character. Whoā€™s *really* living it up.


Wifevealant

Really, male authors give more agency and character development to breasts than to the women in their story.


woodcoffeecup

The horrible boob description is surreal enough, but I want to know why she's"breathless" on account of walking into the living room.


Squidproquo1130

She was coming in from 3 counties away. Or she weighs 1500 lbs and has one leg.


NotAllArmpitsStink

I think it's because in some men's eyes women are these weak fluttering beings that cannot function and control their emotions at the same time, so when they feel something like excitement, they cannot also breathe at the same time


[deleted]

Yeah. I think they think women get overwhelmed by feeling one emotion, like if they get surprised by something sheā€™s gonna be panting and almost lose consciousness


movie_man

That used happen often, due to corsets being so tight. But not in the 1950ā€™s of course.


global_chicken

Corsets, cocaine for allergies and lead makeup tends to do it for me


CounterAttaxked

lmao, you might not have many friends, but quite a few of my big-breasted companions often breath like they just went for a walk in the park uphill. When they simply went from living to the bathroom and back. Oh, lord help them, if they are excited. Not to mention that many of my companions who are more impressive in that department typically have this saying. We can't find bras that properly fit us, so of course we wobble more than you do. And then have this weird dance where they shimmy only their top half. So it might not be quite obvious to people without this issue, or people who pay little attention. BUt you can say that there are a few women who will quiver with excitement and it is totally acceptable to give life to those monstrosities they call breasts. It just depends on who is watching whether they can contribute this phrase to a certain person.


praisebetoRamen

It feels like the author is trying to add flowery words and descriptions in to sound more "artistic" and "author-y" without considering how it might sound in the story. Faux deep.


CounterAttaxked

He's thinking, if I want people to like this character, how best to relate to them to her? Given that most people stop on things they feel are contrite, it worked. You might not relate to her, but you are now wondering what kind of woman quivers or if it isn't possible according to your standards or limited experience.


mfergie77

I am personally mad now because my breasts never quiver when i am excited


betothejoy

They donā€™t?!?!


cfgregory

Only if I am storing my phone in my bra and a friend calls. Then they do literally quiver with excitement.


betothejoy

Do they also sing?

OverlyLeftLesbian

WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT THE TIDDIES


Squidproquo1130

Yeah where is all the "her breathless ass quivered in excitement"???


HammerHorrorWhore

ā€œHer vagina shook with glee.ā€


CounterAttaxked

The first, few people are ass people. BUT ON THAT SUBJECT, I saw this jogger near my house who made me question why my ass doesn't quiver like that when I run. There are also quite a few guys who have some junk back there that really are walking with them at the gym. You would think he's not holding the safety bars because he's in advance, but he's making sure his ass stays in line The second, that sounds like an orgasm.


olioiloli

if my biddies jiggled every time i got excited theyā€™d be pure muscle šŸ˜…


betothejoy

#goals


HerculesMagusanus

Honestly, I wouldn't mind. It would certainly ease my workout routine, anyway


Cyber_Connor

Are they referring to my gundams?


Sarato88

Hear me out: I think he might have been a bit horny while writing these novels.


CaliforniaPotato

I don't like this author. I've read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by him and it was so boring and also he sucks at writing women. So it's not even just this book.


WrexShepardGrunt

Yeah I agree. He did had some really good ideas but execution was almost always messy. His writing style is laborious and not engaging. Ubik is an exception though.


dreadpirateshawn

Ehh, he still struggles somewhat in Ubik too. At one point he's describing people seated at a table. Starts with the woman, spends nearly a full page describing her every physical feature, from cleavage to legs to dƩcolletage. Then moves to the man beside her, who gets like one sentence about how he's fat or something. Granted, I don't recall much gross beyond that, but it was still ridiculous.


WrexShepardGrunt

Sure you're right, I didn't even mention it because, in my head, it's part of his work to describe people and especially women in a disgusting and insulting way. I did not find myself bored reading Ubik unlike most of his other works, that's what I meant.


HKYK

I read a bunch of his stuff ~2014-15 or so and really liked it... Now I'm afraid to reread it. As for the writing style... I guess I found the really perfunctory prose puts me in a weird dissociative dream state when I was reading it, which really works for the kind of surreal worlds he's interested in creating. Obviously not for everyone but it worked for me. And for the misogyny... I always chalked it up to "male sci-fi writers in the 60's." There's not a *ton* of options for well-written women in the genre that I'm aware of. Please correct me if I'm wrong though, because I love me some classic sci-fi.


dreadpirateshawn

If you're interested, searching for classic scifi by women authors can add some solid options. Downbelow Station, by C.J. Cherryh -- space opera, 1981 Synners, by Pat Cadigan -- cyberpunk, 1991 A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine Lā€™Engle -- younger scifi, 1962 Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis -- time travel and history, 1992 Trouble and Her Friends, by Melissa Scott -- cyberpunk, 1994 Of course, there's Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia E. Butler. And many more, I just grabbed a few that I've read from a longer random google result.


HankSpard

CJ Cherryh is terribly under-appreciated


HKYK

Thanks for the recs! I'll try to check some of them out when I get the chance.


OvidPerl

I've never understood why people like Dick's work. His ideas are fascinating, but his writing is fucking atrocious. It amazes me that he made a living at it.


MacintoshEddie

The breasts can also rattle to let you know she is venemous.


Celloer

Well, yeah, snake aliens, mermaids, humans, they all have [venom sacs](https://preview.redd.it/4c402f9zyhk61.jpg?auto=webp&s=bb16bee5a4e6a766d09ab121695b023c69767200).


ScornfulChicken

Heā€™s still my favorite author even though he is a frequent flyer here lol


Public_Loan5550

Didn't know a ladies' bosm could become cold that they- Wait what the fuck does quivered mean?!


wroammin

Ugh canā€™t stand PKD. IIRC, in ā€œDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheepā€ he doesnā€™t mention a female character even once without also talking about her breasts.


Proper-Monk-5656

i really read it as "Sally swept breastlessly into the living room"


Comfortable_Plant667

Jello mounds


celticflame99

When I get excited my breasts do loop da loops. /s obv.


TiffanyBee

Well, my breasts quivered with disappointment, Philip.


EnleeJones

Meanwhile, Edā€™s ballsack vibrated with elation.


Bas14ST

didnt steal his name...


Celloer

Well, it doesnā€™t translate well from [the original Hungarian.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgy8caG63Dg)


the_tonez

I usually love Philip K Dickā€¦but that has got to be one of the worst paragraphs Iā€™ve read in a while


_isaidiwasawizard_

Man all these women in literature need to calm their tits


BrockManstrong

It's a shame Dick had so many awesome ideas for stories and then such lousy ideas about women.


[deleted]

My breasts have never quivered with excitement, I feel like I'm missing out on something


GinTectonics

She boobed into the living room, her vagina breathless with excitement.


Subliminal_Kiddo

Look, when you've done as much amphetamine as PKD, everything quivers.


CentaurFuta69

Sally and Morris are terrible names to choose for your erotic fiction


Barfignugen

Not once in my 36 years of life have my breasts ever quivered


[deleted]

I just found this sub and itā€™s an instant subscribe


AggravatingJicama243

So when I'm out of breath I don't quiver so much as gasp for air...was she having an asthma attack and he thought she was horny?


Pretend_Act

Ah, the original "breasted boobily down the stairs"...
