Day 7 of #kinktober, Other (yes we're going only vaguely in order)
Ruadan and the mysterious horned figure from his dreams

Ruadan, a man with long light wavy hair and a short beard, stands calmly with his eyes closed and arms at his sides. Behind him, entirely shadowed except for large, round, bright eyes, stands a massive humanoid figure with the head and antlers of a stag, shaggy all over. The figure crosses one arm (protectively? jealously?) over Ruadan's chest while the other hand reaches between Ruadan's legs.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Dee Dee knows that I have to invite her to get on my bed but it’s comical because if I’m not in bed by 8:30pm, her preferred bedtime, she’ll side eye me like, hello? It’s time. How dare you deny me my 10 hours of beauty sleep

Brain: You need to develop a plot for this
Me: No
Brain: You can’t just write interlocking scenes like it’s a bizarre prose play
Me: No
Brain: There’s only so many abrupt cuts you can disguise as scene transitions!
Me: No!!!

My sister is in fact extremely sensible, but somehow it still blindsides me. Probably has something to do with her still being my kid sister, but also she’s an accomplished therapist

Ever since my sister pointed out that some people drop thousands on a handbag in response to me feeling bad for spending $80 on LEGO, I feel like my brain reset. On one hand, my younger sister said something extremely sensible. On the other, I need to reorganise my home to have room for more LEGO
