Deadlock Kinktober day 10: Undeath

Victor takes Mina up on her offer to “fix” his stitches. She shows him all the care and compassion you’d expect when you give a rich, spoiled vampire fledgling a new toy to play with.

The resident jesters continue their 'safe' antics. This year, we're sanitising kinktober! Now you don't have to worry about those pesky kinks corrupting your feeble mind.

Kinktober prompt: CBT. No - The other kind.

[ #ocsky ▪︎ #kinktober ▪︎ #artsky ▪︎ #ocart ]

Title reads "Kinktober redacted - 2025 - Prompt: CBT"

Two clowns. The one on the left is sat in an armchair, one leg folded over the other, with dark short hair and sad/crying clown makeup. Despite this, she's actually smiling as she pretends to take notes and asks, "-And have you tried REFRAMING these negative thoughts?"

The clown on the right has happy makeup, but seems unamused. She's reclined on the therapy couch, responding "I'll reframe your FACE with my FIST if you give me another breathing exercise."

On the table between them is a box of tissues and a bloody hammer. While the figures are in black and white, the background is bright yellow, contrasting against both them and the dark red bloodstain splattered across the wall.
A limp hand is visible behind the couch.

I KNOW nobody can read over my shoulder at the coffee shop but there’s still something mortifying about writing in public

Deadlock kinktober day 9: Voyeurism

Completely unintentionally, totally by accident, swearsies realsies, Vyper just happens to be peeking in Lash’s window when he gets back to the apartment with Pocket. She has some opinions about Pocket’s general inadequacy.

Haven't posted on here in a loooooong long while, so here's a new quickie to rectify that, presented to you in Queas-o-vision. Eat fascists, vomit stars.

#horrorartist #horrorart #handdrawnart #bodyhorror #scifiart

Hand-drawn ink illustration, in queasy green and purplish color. Showing a mass of flesh rising up to a starlit night sky. A face with hollowed out black eyes and protruding spiky melty flesh, with double rows of teeth in it's gaping open mouth. Behind it a human face smothered in tendrils swallowing a thick mass of bulbous flesh.

I literally had to phone a friend while writing this one because I’m a dweeb who’s never smoked weed and then I got WAY more information than I needed about the pros & cons of different strains. I was on much sounder footing regarding the szechuan stir-fry element of the story.

Back on the Deadlock kinktober train on day 8 with the food/intoxication prompts!

Infernus has never been to Ixia. But he lives in New York City. So he’s still pretty sure he’s got access to the best food in the universe. He just needs to convince Abrams of it.

bsky has this magical property that when I’m scrolling home alone it’s nothing but news and politics, but the minute I pop it open in a crowded coffee shop BAM, the most explicit, juicy porn in existence. dicks galore as I frantically try to hide my shame from the coffee shop hipsters.

Im only what, a week late?

For day 1, prompt: Abrams (with a dash of femme fatale in the form of Lady Geist's legs)

#deadlockkinktober2025
#abrams #deadlock

Digital painting of Abrams, lying down whilst shirtless with glasses askew and trousers undone. Lady Geist (only legs and killer heels shown) stands between his legs and presses lightly on his bulge with the toe of her shoe whilst Abrams grimaces in pleasure/arousal.
