A much-needed 'lol' moment from tonight's editing session. Ludoviko, 'Mr. Prim and Proper,' is feeling sexy things and it's consuming his mind the more he fights it 😆 #AmWriting
Ludoviko cringed internally. It sounded like manual labor would be involved, which he did not do. While his strength would lend to the task of helping Roselyn carry it inside, he abhorred the idea of getting down and dirty in nature, even if it was with Roselyn. He closed his eyes and sighed, annoyed. He shouldn’t have phrased it that way. His once mostly innocent mind had gone so far into depravity since yesterday that it was making him irritable.

Oh boy. This word is asking for some spice 😆
From Ludoviko, 'position' is the closest word. Warning for mild NSFW.
#WIPSnips #transromance
They adjusted their positioning, and then circled their hips against him. Their lips hovered over his just out of reach. “Do you want me?” they breathed. They already knew. His body left less to the imagination than their sheer lingerie. Ludoviko’s nails dug into their backside as he squeezed and closed his eyes. “Yes.”

#queerwriters From Ludoviko, my current WIP 🖤
Roselyn pried apart the dead vines and tried the door. It was locked. “Fuck,” they breathed through chattering teeth. They moved across the porch to look into a window, and upon wiping it clear of its icy film, they saw nothing but darkness. All the furniture still seemed to be in place though, as well as decorations. It was like the last tenants just up and left and never returned. That feeling of dread begged them to turn away again. It was potent and sent their heart racing, and while it might have worked for everyone else, no other had approached with a death wish. That was enough to give Roselyn the bravery to grab a large rock, and they smashed open the long window. The sound was deafening in the silent winter night. It echoed among the walls in the giant entrance room that remained as still as the grave. The slight breeze rattled cobwebs that hadn’t stirred for ages.

Getting back to reading things that initially inspired me. I read so much old literature in the early 2000s, plus Anne Rice and VC Andrews. I moved away from writing like that because once, a writing group tore apart one of my stories for being too flowery and 'stuck up.'
Cover of a Marquis de Sade compilation. Featuring a classical painting of two naked white women intertwined on a bed. The book features essays and his titles: Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Others.

Another snippet from last night's writing session (because it's the best time I've had writing in a while 😍) It's NSFW, but it's not explicit, if that makes sense?
They breathed heavily over each other’s lips as everything began to melt away. Bliss bloomed within them both at the same time, and Ludoviko’s claws tore the sofa as they dug into the white silk. Roselyn’s voice echoed around the library as they arched their back and cried out. Nothing existed around them anymore but the waking dream — a dream that would come to an end much too quickly.

Some of my favorite lines from tonight's writing 🙌🏻 #AmWriting
The heavy mixture of the ethereal music and Roselyn’s melodic moans mixed with his own sounds of desperation. He didn’t recognize himself anymore; he wasn’t even sure he was still present in reality. Whoever Ludoviko was had gone. He’d become something else; he’d let the monster swallow him whole that wanted nothing more than to completely devour the person below him that he needed so badly now it hurt.

Here's a snippet of what I mean from my WIP. (This is a first draft, so excuse anything that might not read the best yet, this takes a lot of my brain power to also write poetry in between the prose😵‍💫)
The sound of the water moving as Roselyn stepped into it met his sensitive ears, and he stayed to listen. His mind wandered before he could stop it and he closed his eyes. They shot open again when he heard Roselyn moan with relief. They’d simply just been relaxing, but Ludoviko’s thoughts strayed to other things — much more lascivious things. He imagined the water dripping down their chest as they leaned back in the tub; their hands caressing their skin as they sank into the warmth to their neck. Another moan of satisfaction that existed only in his mind caused his eyes to fall shut, and he realized his breath had started to come faster. That dangerous siren was calling again, and the song was irresistible. ‘If only to gaze upon you undressed in the flesh, and to feel the soft skin gliding over your bones. This violence is calling me, the need to devour you whole. To be a part of you, to taste you.’ His claws ran across his chest and dug into his shirt. ‘This is a different kind of venom, one that only has one cure. How ironic it is now that I am the poisoned one.’

Been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley for the first time. Honestly, it's what I needed right now. I did not expect to relate so hard to a Disney game but this has been a surprise. It's really helping to pass the time while I'm going through this really bad mental health period.

Like this book left me breathless when it came to post-mortem daguerreotypes. But you can't find it anywhere anymore. It would be such amazing inspiration again.

Been playing BG3 on tactician finally to see if I can do it, & I am! It's very difficult, but it's giving me a new challenge with the game that's distracting me from life stressors. You gotta really focus & use your brain, which is perfect right now. Durge oathbreaker paladin this time around. #bg3

From Book 3 of The Requiem Series. Oh, to get Byleth's favorite angel to fall 😏
#WIPSnips
“You know, I told you if you wanted to go back to being God’s lapdog after all this is said and done, it’s whatever,” Byleth said, a little more loosened up after a third shot. “I’m telling you though, once you’ve sinned, you’re never gonna be the same again.”

More from The Soulless Ones:
#WIPSnips
The man stared at Alex in horror before nodding and moving to slip by them. “I just need a few things.” Alex grabbed him and pushed him back. “Fuck the meds! We need you sober. Now get moving.” The man did his best to move quickly around the room, grabbed a few clothes, and then paused when he came to his night stand. Alex watched as he grabbed a picture of all of them — their mother included. “I deserve to die,” he said with a strained voice. Alex grabbed the picture, threw it on the ground, and crushed it beneath their shoe. “Fuck the past, dad. We have a chance at survival now, all four of us. Did mom mean more than we did?”

Something pretty dark from The Soulless Ones. (Warning for blood and accidental killing)
#WIPSnips
REDACTED turned to face her one last time. “I don’t agree with what dad did to you, but at least he was on the right side of history; what little there will be left of it now.” His flip phone went off, and he knew it was REDACTED. No more time to stall. “I have to go. Goodbye.” REDACTED ignored his mother’s begging as he hurried out of the living room into the kitchen, and then out of the front door. He jammed the keys into his car’s ignition, and when he went to back out of the driveway, he hit a bump that jolted him hard into the seat. When he looked in the side mirror, he paled. Lying on the ground just half in view was his mother’s neighbor. Blood pooled beneath the man’s bald head from where it had cracked against the pavement when he fell from the impact. “Fuck, I’m sorry.” It didn’t matter. If the dissenters didn’t die then, they’d just be tortured later if they were caught. Very few of them had anywhere safe to go. REDACTED was lucky he did.

From my sci-fi, The Soulless Ones. Some liminal space imagery in this one 💜
#WIPSnips
Scar carefully stood and set the remote on the sofa behind him, and he made his way out past the locker rooms and the main water park area. The sound of the water would mask any further movements, and he took a deep breath once he approached the lazy river’s entrance. The entire place had an eerie feeling about it in the low lighting, but it should have been safe. After all, the thing he sought out stayed behind the windows, and there didn’t seem to be another way in besides the elevator, which had become inoperable. No thanks to the environment caging them in.

Happy Halloween! This is from my dark sci-fi, The Soulless Ones.
#WIPSnips
“Oliver,” he mumbled. “My name isn’t Scar, it’s Oliver. I tried to stop it.” He looked at the monster before him and the sign. “I tried to stop you.” Oliver stood and swayed slightly as the fog cleared in his mind. He’d been such an idiot. What had he expected to happen? And the man he truly did love also loved him in return, and he’d thrown that all away for a hastily planned suicide mission. He’d truly thought in a moment of instability he would go out like a hero and make his life actually mean something for once. Clarity didn’t matter much now, though. He’d fucked up and nothing had changed. He had no idea how long he’d been trapped within the machine, but he hoped Sutekh was safe. He had to be; he’d sent that specter after him.

This is all my state is doing about the situation. Please, please donate to food banks if you can, even donating food if you live in Ohio helps! Kids are literally getting boxes of ramen and macaroni and cheese for Halloween. This is so dire. You can't live on noodles.
Ohio Over 1.4 million people in Ohio participate in SNAP, according to the USDA. Mike Cochran with the Mid-Ohio Food Collective said his agency has already been dealing with increased demand, serving about 5,000 families a day, 58% more than at the peak of COVID pandemic. [Ohio State News Bureau] One group who work with low-income Ohioans will be handing out boxes of macaroni and cheese and ramen noodles for families to take home at upcoming "Trunk or Treat" events in celebration of Halloween. [Ohio State News Bureau] U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown said she is working with fellow Rep. Emilia Sykes to create a bill that would ensure SNAP benefits are continued during any future federal government shutdowns. [Ideastream Public Media]

A doodle of my headmate Jack 🎃
Black and white line drawing with a goth theme. In the center is Jack, a pale person with short messy black hair that falls over one eye, and he's wearing a sweater with a pumpkin on it that says helloween, and he's wearing ripped jeans with a patch on one side. His eyes are black and his lips are black. Next to him is a little simple cartoon ghost persona for him with spiky black hair and a tear below an eye. A grave is on the ground to the right with a skull on it and a cartoony flower vine wrapping around it. 3 little cartoon skulls are over his name, which is sketched out beside him. Surrounding the image are ghostly swirls that frame it.

Unintentionally matching one of my books today 😈
Picture of me, a white agender trans masc person with long brown hair pulled to the side. I'm looking at the camera and holding my book, Open Wound, which is in shades of black and purple. I'm wearing large black square glasses and a black and purple striped shirt, and my septum and lip is pierced. I have a cheerful look on my face.

This is an older piece of art, but still one of my favorites. He's a headmate that hasn't been around for a while, but he usually poofs after only a week or so when he does come back. He's a demi-human named Jag and he's got a lot of troubles, some he creates himself. CW; SI (written), scars. #art
anime-style drawing of a demi-human who is half cat with brown hair, cat ears, and a tail. He is white and has yellow eyes. He's wearing a white t-shirt that says 'dammit' and has a red medical cross on it and a yellow cartoon smiley face with a huge toothy smile, and his bottom lip is pierced. His nails are painted red and he has some pale raised scars on his arm. He's standing at a desk in a facility and handing a note to someone. The person he's interacting with is only visible by their hands. The faculty is saying 'having trouble again, Jag?'

Something a little cheeky. It's an older drawing from better years with my mental health, when I drew fun stuff more often. Byleth being Byleth 😆 #art
Anime-style drawing of Byleth, a white demon with golden horns and red eyes. He's leaning over far while standing, and one hand is raised to his lips while the other is holding a phone. He's looking at the viewer. He has blonde hair and is wearing a white crop top with red and blue stripes near the bottom of it, super short booty jean shorts, and a pair of white heeled boots.
