In Onmund's Travels there are two brothers who have threesomes with other men. I left it ambiguous as to whether they were blood relatives, which I've since regretted as cowardice. But with draconian new laws coming into effect in the UK soon, I might have actually made the legally prudent choice.

people ask me if i listen to bieber and i smile simply and say simply yes. Then I show them this and they lose their fucking shit

I've been thinking about how, after Dolly Parton's death, her incredible career was barely even mentioned - compliments of that sort were forgone in favour of praising her benevolence and charity. How impressive to be such a talent and still have that be secondary to your wonderful character

Another from Simon Munnery: "Warning! The show you are about to watch contains almost no swearing. The F-word is never used, and the C-word - cunt - is used only once. That was it."

Haven't been reading as much these last couple of years but am determined to change that: here's a haul I brought back from my trip to Durham over the weekend. Lots of good bookshops there!

I got six more in London! Two from a charity shop and four (plus some records) from Rough Trade, because their book section was apparently specifically tailored to my interests. These two pictures give a good idea of the stuff I like reading (and the stuff I think I *should* be reading)

I've done a smut again, this time for the Final Fantasy XV fandom - I've had so many ideas and this is part of my attempt to get some WIPs out the door. Expect more! This one specifically is about two horny best friends who both have the hots for the same man. archiveofourown.org/works/89498441

They are sending me adverts for the concept of travel. As though a man who bought a train ticket once can be convinced to buy more, going anywhere, whenever, because he just loves trains so fucking much

⚠️Writing tip!⚠️ Never use that ghastly cliché, "his head was blown clean off." If someone's going to have something blown off, make it dirty! No clean head-blowing. You want your head to be blown memorably. So, once more: blow them dirty, dirty sloppy head. Thank you!

Fellow writers, please stop giving us overlong descriptions of the hot men you're introducing in your story. No one wants to have to read about his height, hair colour, hairstyle, hair length, clothing, eye colour etc. and by the time we get to the end of the list we've forgotten most of it anyway

Trust in the power of our imaginations! Give us a couple of amuse-bouches (amuse-esprits? amuse-cerveaux?) but please accept that we're probably just going to make him look like our dads anyway. Sorry, I mean our fathers. FUCK I mean our crushes, my backspace key is broken I'm really sorry

I've written some new smut! A few short stories based on an idea + artwork by @otterintraining.bsky.social, and shared with their permission. Expect large men in a sci-fi setting, with all of their normal-sized colleagues being company-mandated free use. Fun! archiveofourown.org/works/871462...

I don't use AI in my personal or professional writing, and will never, so some dipshit saying that actually everyone uses it is untrue in the same way that saying that nobody washes their hands after using the bathroom is untrue -- a lie to excuse a repulsive personal failing.

Don't do life updates that often so here's two in one: I lost my job last month (boo!) but I just got a new job and I think it's better than the old one (yay!)

It's Shane. Ah, my beloved Shane

The problem with starting a new Stardew Valley save is that I want to date Sam, Shane, Alex and Sebastian more or less equally. My boys 😌

One good rule Twitter used to have was penalising the follow-me-backers; those accounts that mass follow people with particular interests in the hopes that if even 10% follow back out of politeness, they'll have built a substantial following artificially.

Maybe Bsky should do a similar thing. I don't have many followers but almost all of them are follow-me-backers who will presumably never read this. I could block them but it tickles me that simply accepting the boost to my follower count without adding to theirs is actually more insulting, lol

Until recently the idea of femme and/or straight furries hadn't ever crossed my mind. I had always assumed it was a gay guy thing. Availability bias, I suppose

Sometimes I feel like I'm racing Bethesda to finish my lengthy Skyrim fic before Elder Scrolls VI comes out. Both projects have suffered massive setbacks and delays; it's like we're the two slowest kids on a sports day and we both keep tripping over our own feet

Today is one of those days where the long wait for an update on The Elder Scrolls VI could finally be over. The Xbox Developer Direct 2026 could feature an announcement or new trailer related to TESVI, although we'd still put that at below a 50% chance for this year.

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

I'm still amazed at how instantly and completely my interest in Magic: the Gathering was killed when they forced external IPs into standard. I went from playing 30+ minutes online most days to not having played at all since February. Funny how something that meant so much to me can just... end.

Connected my grand to the Nonlinear Labs C15 via my MIDI sensor bar that we had made for the re:member tour. Little expression pedal by the piano controlling the intensity of the synth layer and you've got hours of fun wholesome ambient family time 😳

True fact: I don't have daddy issues. I emphatically do not. However. Is it weird that daddy Hades (from the hit video game "Hades") is so hot, so cruel, and so DADDY that he kind of makes me wish I did...?

cw: noncon I wrote something dark for Halloween this year... read it if you dare. It's about a young guard searching for the werewolf that's been killing locals, which leads him to an older huntsman's shack in the middle of the forest. archiveofourown.org/works/73333596
