When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"

varies drawings of Xie Lian from Heaven Official's Blessing. One in particular is him shirtless and we see a tiny Hua Cheng off to the side, hand covering his mouth, blushing.

Another is Xie Lian holds up a plate of food but it's been mosaic.

A chibi Xie Lian holds a red leaf in his hands, smiling happily.

Fanart of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven's Official Blessing. Varies drawings of them being together.

On bottom left, Xie Lian kabedons San Lang with confidence. The next story beat, we see Xie Lian in San Lang's arms, covers his face with his hands, embarrassed. "Gege spoils me." To which Xie Lian repsonds, "Noooo."

On the top right we see Hua Cheng happily writes. The next story beat we see him showing off his calligraphy. Despite that it's incredibly scribbly, he wears a happy wide-eyed expression, with sparkles around him.

Fanart of Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing.

Several doodles of him in different expressions. Of the few, on the top right shows a pleading face, shows off his red right eye. "His highness" he thinks. Off to the side we see a blushing Xie Lian who clenches on his clothes. In motion blur text, "San Lang."

Bottom right, he screams "Taizi Dianxia" while he wears a distraught expression.

If a story includes nonconsensual sex (even romanticised/eroticised), that is FINE.
Because the only *real people* involved in the interaction are the
a.) writer
b.) reader
The writer can be kind and add content warnings but the reader ALWAYS has the option to STOP READING.

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Consensual Non-Consent In Real Life

A 3 panel comic

Panel 1: Kink Negotiation

Blushing Person: I was thinking maybe we could try out some CNC play...

Person #2: Yeah, we can totally try that out, sweetie! We should plan out what we're willing to do!

Panel 2: "The Scene"

Person #2: The sex pollen.... it's... taking over. I... I can't...Hnngg....

Blushing Person: Noo! Please, you have to snap out of it!

Panel 3: Aftercare
Blushing Person: Thanks so much, that was fun. Let's do it again sometime.

[end of comic]

"The Scene" is the fantasy within a CNC framework.

Some fictional works tell a story depicting two (or more) characters following the process of doing CNC kink, just as they would in real life: Consent discussion, Kink negotiation, “The Scene", and Aftercare.

[image of a blushing person reading the above comic]

Some fictional works focus on “The Scene only. A framing device is not required, as the fantasy is contained fully within the story. This lets the reader engage in the kink the same way as if they were engaging in “The Scene" portion of the CNC play.

[image of a blushing person reading only “The Scene” panel from the above comic]

CNC play, and both sorts of fiction are normal and healthy!

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

↻💬♡ to help spread the info!

***Important Notice***

If you are calling Visa, there have been increasing reports of harassment from Visa representatives, including calling people rapists

If this happens to you, please take the following actions:

1) Stay calm! Do NOT engage in harassment back

2) Request to speak to a supervisor

3) If they refuse or hung up on you, call back and *immediately* escalate to a supervisor

4) Put in a complaint of the behavior (script below)

5) Afterwards *or* if they refuse to take your complaint, submit a BBB complaint (script below)

Call Center Abuse Complaint:

Hello,

I'm calling to submit an official complaint about abuse I received from a call center representative today. I called at (time) and spoke with (name, if you know it). Their behavior was beyond inappropriate. The representative said (provide details).

Once finished submitting that complaint, tell them you would still like to file the initial complaint you called about.

BBB script:

I'm filing a complaint in regards to their conduct when I called in to inquire about the situation between them and several gaming platforms. Upon mentioning the nature of my call the representative on the phone was exceptionally rude to me. They (insert details here).

This sort of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. This should not be how they treat their customers.

BBB script pt 2 (what you're looking for them to do in response):

I would like a formal apology, my initial complaint to be processed, and the company to re-train their call center staff to prevent such occurrences in the future.

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

A meaningful story on YALSA's blog The Hub. Book bans are a terrible form of censorship, but this interaction between a librarian and their teen patron is so lovely. It's short and sweet. Give it a read. 💕 @yalsa.bsky.social

All I want for Christmas is pressure on payment processors to stop their censorship. This would be amazing...

Ana Valens | 🔞 @acvalens.com · Oct 29

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically
