Tying Myself in Knots is out!
It's about shame, autism, self-expression and acceptable art. It's personal and not what I usually write, but I think it's good.
I hope people 'get' it, or at least, enjoy it!

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

Ok, ok. I have a slightly unhinged, perhaps unfeasible answer. It's OTT. Sorry in advance. :D
You'll need
a) An unofficial celebrant + costume
b) "Mourners"
c) Material to make an effigy
d) Material to make a pyre (optional)
e) A stake and a wooden mallet
f) Food, optionally, booze.

I keep thinking about all of the people who were NOT hired as part of this exercise. All the real world production crew. The actors. The caterers supporting real world shoots. So many people with real skills not being paid. So. Many. Creative. People. Not. Being. Paid.

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.

Because to me, fantasy isn’t wishful thinking, but a way of reflecting, and reflecting on reality.

I will always yell in agreement with this sentiment!
The fact that we already have a way to add more characters by chaining posts together (which can individually be taken out of context) tells you it's a manufactured limitation that we already want to avoid.

I wish bluesky would let us write longer posts, and just truncate them or something for people who don't want to see it all on their TL
if we all could do twitlongers on this site, so many problems would be solved in this world. It's such a fake, manufactured limitation

Went to the cinema! Saw Wake Up Dead Man.
It's great! Hits that perfect balance of having enough crumbs to make you feel smart enough that you're dectiving along with Blanc, and is still capable of surprising you.

#Smutcember I guess it depends. Or maybe that's not how I really think about it? I just know I like finding the emotional truth of the moment better than anything, and that's a thread through build up, the act, and aftercare.
Our #Smutcember prompt for today asks:
When writing sex in your stories, do you prefer to write the build up, the act itself, the aftercare, or all of the above?

This was harder to answer than I thought it would be. In Heart Blood Sacrifice, I'm definitely spending a lot of time on the build up, because of the Forbidden Love aspect of it, and the fact that Rose loves teasing Locke. In other stuff I've written, (there was a poly/kink fantasy
