Hephaestian task. I have to create a human woman out of this dirt and drool. Aka getting ready for work.

Dionysian task. Someone's got to be the life of this baby shower so by god pass the champagne!

Titanic task. your confidence and greed are the architect of your downfall

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

Decided to make this a poll because I'm genuinely unsure how other author folks feel about this particular case!

If you are a writer, please reblog for larger sample size!

Scene in Toronto yesterday

Hundreds of thousands of people came out today in London to March for a Free Palestine. Hundreds of thousands of people disagreeing with the current government stance on the war. Don’t let the media fool you, people in the UK stand with Palestine.

Animal, pt 2 (Kinn/Porsche)

continuing this thing

Porsche was not overly grateful for the offer to join Kinn's security. This was an unpleasant surprise. Apparently when structuring the offer Kinn had not accounted for the fact that Porsche was an idiot.

He seemed unaware of the whole structure of their society, and uninterested in learning about the ways to advance himself from his position. Most submissives would kill for a chance to take a job for the Theerapanyakul Group, the family that exerted dominion over a large swath of Bangkok and beyond. They'd kill and be thankful for the opportunity to be considered part of the Dominant world.

Gaining a Dominant skill set and training while working for a Dominant family in a Dominant industry is a whole bunch of respectability leapfrogs from where Porsche is now, stuck serving drinks to tourists and giving it up for money in alleyways.

Beyond the sheer advantage of the job offer itself, Kinn thought that the clear respect for Porsche implied by it would be convincingly appealing to overcome any mixed feelings from their first meeting. Possibly win him over entirely. Kinn had spent too much time thinking about Porsche grovelling, Porsche grateful and supplicant, Porsche giving in. Kinn had, he just realized, not thought much beyond that, and had come to regret living in fantasyland rather quickly when the situation went sideways.

Kinn badly wanted to see Porsche in a position of power that was still subservient to his own. He thought about baring Porsche's neck in front of the other bodyguards, but settled for tying him to a chair instead. He wanted Porsche's neck to himself, private, and simultaneously wanted to only ever sit in meetings with Porsche in his lap, gaze defiant, the long golden stretch his alone to maul and suck.

With that in mind, Kinn approached the next stage of this prolonged negotiation with renewed focus renewed, goal clear. He'd resolved to be calm and rational and reasonable this time. He even gave his most placating smile.

Another thing that became apparent, other than Porsche being an idiot, was that Kinn was possibly focusing overmuch on the specifics rather than the purpose of his goals. Damn his preoccupation with visualizing success.

Porsche had in fact stuck his neck out in the end, but it had just been to spit in his face.

Since there is so much brouhaha in the tags about the sword-fucking thing, let it be known that the reality is both kinkier AND more wholesome than you were imagining.

Habits, Tics, Stims, Compulsions, and Behaviors

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do. You feel no ill effects aside from maybe disappointment at having to stop. You tap your foot often. This is a habit.

You are tapping your foot, whether you want to or not. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t. If you try to it feels like holding in a sneeze and the pressure builds up. It might come out in a different, even less controllable action. This is a tic.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do, but immediately feel worse physically or emotionally. It was a way for you to express yourself and how you feel. You may feel pressure. This is a stim.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t, because if you do something bad will happen, possibly some specific bad thing. You know it’s irrational, but not doing it gives you anxiety. This is a compulsion.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t, because if you do this specific bad thing will happen. It is not irrational to you, although it is to others. This is an erratic/disorganized behavior.

I can't stop reading the 1793 third edition of "A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue" (originally published 1785). I have been irritating all my friends and coworkers with fun new terms like "That's the barber!" and "He looks like God's revenge against murder."

Anyway, Ash talked me into drawing some of the phrases and I ended up with these little mid-1780s Londoners.

Animal, Kinn/Porsche

11:03 PM

What Kinn clocks immediately about Porsche is that he's unashamed. There's no pretence about him, from the fact that he's disdainful of people using power for selfish reasons, to how much he enjoys sex, and especially to how he isn't afraid (or at all unable or unwilling) to stand up for himself. What Kinn takes longer to process is why that's hot.

It's definitely not his typical. He usually goes for a bedmate that he privately refers to as "desperate slut but polite." He likes when delicate, manicured men beg him for his cock, swallow him down wetly and take his manhandling with trembling eagerness. After Tawan, he especially doesn't like it when there's even a hint of an individual person on the other end. Easier to get off if he's not talking, or even thinking too much.

Porsche makes him confused. Porsche makes him frustrated. Porsche challenges him on every fucking thing regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Porsche is a submissive.

In this world, submissiveness is something you have to earn your way out of, something to escape. Earning dominance in society is how to get ahead and how to stay safe. But Porsche wears his submission like it's something you'd have to earn from him instead, something you'd be grateful and lucky to be granted. It's the most Kinn has been intrigued by anyone in years. It’s infuriating. It's sexy as fuck.

Porsche had wiped his mouth as he turned to haggle for his fists, zipping up his fly unhurriedly. Porsche had grinned while he punched the lights out of the guy with the pipe. Porsche had held eye contact, unflinchingly, mockingly, had held Kinn still to take his rightful payment directly from Kinn's person.

When Kinn was finally collected by his bodyguards, he had gotten into his car, closed the privacy screen, and held his breath for silence as he furiously jerked into his fist. With the adrenaline it had taken two minutes, tops, and he had felt heavy and alert and throbbing in the aftermath. He had never wanted to fuck someone's smirking face so badly. He had noticed eventually that he was idly clenching his dripping hand, staring down fixedly at it past his naked wrist.

He had wiped his hand with a handkerchief, and called his father to talk personnel. How interesting that he suddenly needed more security.

I have decided to do a combination of kinktober, inktober, and whumptober where the goal is basically just make something once a day. Welcome to #winktober and please, I'm sure there are too many verb tenses in here but I lived 45 minutes of intense word choice decision making for every 3 minutes it took to write a paragraph and I am very high so just read through it for now.

This was inspired by the hottest video on youtube: Animal by @ amateuredit17. I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times and strongly encourage others to do the same. Speaking of excellent, I am unreasonably pleased about my most excellent stylistic zeugma in the fifth and paragraphs.

Fic: Fit for Purpose

The Untamed / Wangxian / 18,000 words

Alpha LWJ/Beta WWX, starring Wei Wuxian’s Canonical Self-Worth Issues

Wei Wuxian is given clean clothes, and as much food as he wants, and a blanket. He still doesn’t know what a beta is. But he knows he is one, now. And he knows that that’s the reason he has these wonderful things.

When Wei Wuxian was a little boy, Jiang Fengmian brought him home to Lotus Pier; when Yu Ziyuan learned the boy was a beta, she allowed him to stay.

30 years later, a resurrected Wei Wuxian hangs around Cloud Recesses and waits to wear out his welcome.
