I'm sitting at the kitchen table when I shift my weight, reach down, and discreetly pull on one butt cheek. My fart comes out relatively silently (just a gentle 'ffft'). A second later, from across the room, Matt gags, then angrily demands to know if that was me. I blame the dog. (We have no dog)

important: what endearing thing do the screenwriters of the movie of your life have you doing in an early scene when you're by yourself to establish your quirky likeability?

i'm listening to Al Green's "Love and Happiness" and singing the backup singers' lines in falsetto while chopping garlic

Not Chinese American and I don't want to take away from Brandon's point which is very good, but I'll always have a fondness for the animated short for the 2008 Olympics that was directed by James Hewlett of Gorillaz fame:

I have reached the point of my bisexual middle-ageness where I'm researching bike street sweeping (A kind of cart that pulls behind my bike and clears road debris from bike lanes). It's only several thousand dollars! Matt will understand. I need this.

Who'd have thought dry humping could get someone so wet? Join Ene as she searches for a solution to the boring, routine sex she finds herself having. Turns out that to get off, she needs her boyfriend to keep his pants ON.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-humping-st...
A Humping Story by Ene published November 25, 2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-humping-story-ene Ene draws with an elegant, fixed-width pen line that is simplified but still includes expressive details. Here color palette is shades of blue. Ene is a cis woman with hair down to her back that curls at the bottom. She wears round rimmed glasses, small hoop earrings, and a t-shirt with jeans. Narration: As with a lot of AFAB people I was raised to be as selfless as I could be. Ene, dressed up as a nun with a holy halo alight over her head asks with a cheeky expression, "Mother Teresa who?" Narration: Of course it ended up having an impact on my sex life. "Oops" she exclaims as her nuns habit falls to the floor, leaving her naked with only her word balloon to cover her pubic area. Narration: On the other hand, some of the guys I hooked up with didn't seem to have the same issue and had no difficulties requesting pretty much anything from me. Back in bed and nude again, Ene's boyfriend asks with a seductive look, "So I thought you could try to do the splits on me. Ya know just like in the video I sent you... And maybe you could also yodel a Bowie song and juggle while doing it." Ene looks at him in disbelief. Narration: Faced with the unfair realization, and since I had no desire to run a charity, I turned to my sexual history to find practices that were more centered around me to add to my hookups. Returning to the present, a fully clothed Ene picks up a book titled "History of MY Sex Life" with an intensely studious expression. "This!" She exclaims, pointing at a page in her book. "This was lit!" A pink ribbon unfurls across the page, reading, "Read the rest on Oh Joy Sex Toy .com"

Thank you!! :D I painted the keys in gold first before embroidering, so if there was any gaps in the floss then the keys would still look solidly gold. It is... VERY SHINY.

Matt and I are re-watching The Magicians for the first time in almost a decade and I am ALL IN all over again! I made a post showing off my old Seven Golden Keys embroidery plus my downloadable design template for free crafting use: www.patreon.com/posts/seven-...
Angled close-up photo of embroidery stretched on hoop. Textured metallic gold thread is stitched to look like ornate keys that are positioned in a circle with the bow end positioned on the outer edge and the blade ends positioned tightly together on the interior. The fabric is a mottled blue. Photoshop text reads: Seven Golden Keys. Overhead photo of the embroidery, showing it in its entirety. Seven ornate golden embroidered keys on mottled blue fabric in an embroidery hoop.

I'm honestly surprised that with all this renewed interest in the Wizard of Oz that nobody's tried to do a thing with Ozma recently, but I guess studios just assume mainstream audiences are only familiar with things from the 1939 movie

@mollyskyfire.bsky.social's coming out story could not begin in the constraints of our reality, no, her story takes us from the dream world to the waking one in this fantastical, psychedelic autobiographical story about how she found her gender and herself. 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/becoming-mol...
Becoming Molly by Molly Skyfire, April 11, 2023 https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/becoming-molly-skyfire page 1 Molly Skyfire's comic is illustrated With a palette of pastel blues and pinks that are contrasted against a dark purple. A young, pre-transition author awakes deep beneath the sea. She is dressed in teenage boy clothing: jeans, t-shirt, and an assortment of rubber band bracelets around one wrist. She has a mop of hair on top that is framed by the shaved sides, and a thin braid that dangers over one shoulder. Her clothes and hair wave in the water like the seaweed behind her, and off in the distance she sees a magical kingdom enclosed in a bubble. Narration: When I was a kid, I had this dream... "Help me, please!" Exclaims a young woman who looks like she could be her sister. Her hair is pulled back into a poofy ponytail, except for her mop of bangs. She wears a tight long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves pushed up to her elbows and tight jeans. "The priest is trying to trap me here, he won't listen to me!" "It took a while..." reads the narration over a scene of a Catholic priest sitting on his thrown, resting his chin against one hand in deep concentration. Her shadow is cast over him, showing her pleading desperately with her hands. "...but I talked him out of it." Our narrator and the girl now sit in a completely different setting on big poofy beanbag chairs with decorative curtains draped around a giant glass wall that separates them from the ocean. Seaweed sways peacefully behind it in the ocean. The two friends are having an animated conversation and cracking each other up. Narration: The girl and I were inseparable after that. The narrator sits upright in bed, looking haggard. Her room casts strong, menacing shadows across her wall and over her. Narration: My waking life was less idyllic. Now in a great, fantastical forest with giant, twisty trees, our narrator and her friend clamber along an outstretched branch. The environment feels cool and nurturing. Narration: But I found joy in my imagination. And I was never alone. "Hey." She asks as the two traipse across a long, thick branch. "What's your name, anyway?" "Call me Molly." She replies. "Ok, but like, who are you?" Our protagonist presses. "Why are you here?" "What a great question." Answers Molly as the two stop to take in the view. They are the size of specs compared to the enormous double moons that hang low over the tops of distant mountains and the skeletal alien creatures that wade through a lake. Narration: As an adult I found new ways to explore my mind. A mushroom grows next to the narration. Narration: In my quest for self-knowledge, I encountered my shadow. The mushroom's stalk grows downward, rooting through the hairline and forehead of a giant screaming face. A horizontal eye sits in the center of the forehead, framed by the mushroom's roots. The eyebrows and eye slits on either side of the single eye all squeeze together in agony. A liquid drains from either eye slit, screaming, "I WANT TO BE FREE!" The priest's head is framed by the open screaming mouth as he looks at us with extreme judgement. He wears a small braid down the side of his face, like our narrator has. Halo-ing around the priest's head are the words "I MUST CONTAIN MYSELF" "NO!" Screams the other eye slit from the giant head. The priest's hands extend before him, looming over a small shadow figure who crouches on the ground. From each hand a laser beam fires straight down to the shadow, connecting to handcuffs around their wrists. The shadow person has a powerful magnetic glow surrounding them. "NO MORE HIDING!" Says the shadow person. "LET. ME. OUT." The ground cracks beneath them, as if it were impacted by an asteroid. Back in reality, our narrator returns to consciousness in the same crouched position as the shadow. Her thing braid loops over her shoulder and she is surprised to find herself weeping. Narration: I woke up in my boyfriend's closet. The irony was not lost on me." "She was ME all along, Grey." The narrator- Molly- explains tentatively to her boyfriend as they sit on his bed. "Repressed, ashamed & angry as all Hell. How do I be myself after all this time?" "You can DO this love." The boyfriend reassures her with a hand on her shoulder. "Trust me, admitting who you really are is a big step. The rest is done a little at a time..." In another scene, Molly's boyfriend gives her the thumbs up as she models a dress. "...with a lot of help." Finishes Grey's sentence from the previous scene. Dressed fully in femme clothing, Molly poses with a gaggle of friends. "You are not alone." Concludes Grey's narration.

I was maybe already a little bit gay as a child.
Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series. A woman dressed in a skintight harlequin leotard, red and black with a diamond motif. She wears a jester hat. A "How to draw Poison Ivy" page, showing the various stages. This is the Batman: The Animated Series first version of Poison Ivy, a woman in a skin-tight green swimsuit with leggings, boots, and long gloves. She has red hair. Lady Lovely Locks and Duchess Ravenwaves illustrations from the 1980s. They are two princess-y girls with ridiculously voluminous hair that sports little fantasy squirrel-sized creatures clinging to it. Everything is very pink and flowery. Princess Sally Acorn, an anthro squirrel girl, specifically the one from Sonic the Hedgehog the Archie comic series. She has a giant poof of brown bangs and wears only a tiny blue vest and blue boots.
