I was looking at a website selling stationery and sealing wax because I like to torment myself with things I could be buying, and I realized eventually that when they say "wicked" they mean "wax with a wick", not "wax which is somehow evil". But it did take a while.
Wicked Wax would be a great name for a goth band, a scented candle store, a beauty salon, or a car detailer, and I'm sad that the Wicked Wax on the website wasn't even like of the "looks black but melts red" variety.
[ID: A screencap of a banner from a stationery store; it shows wax in long lozenges, labeled "wicked wax", and wax in small beads, labeled "bead wax". I do not need this hobby and yet I desire it.]

I did some Christmas wax seals today and I really enjoy matching the seal to the paper

the best part of wax sealing is watching the wax melt and swirl :)

I turned my new cherry blossom wax beads I got into a slugcat! (Wickcat more accurately, a species created by my friend Sketch/Ori)
Not sure what this silly guy does yet, but I do know it emits toxic fumes when melting and probably has no friends tbh :[

This is meant to be a small sculpture of Hercules "fighting" the Nemean lion. Fighting is not the first F word that came to mind, I must say.
Granted it's also the handle of an antique wax sealing stamp, so the artist was somewhat limited in terms of space in which to work, but I appreciate the unsettling eroticism that this resulted in.
[ID: Four photographs of a silver sealing wax stamp with an almost awkwardly tall handle. Depicted on the handle is a man standing upright, nude, with a particuarly rounded ass; he has large brawny arms and is in the attitude of a wrestler. One arm is upraised to hold open the muzzle of a lion, which is rearing up on its hind legs to attack; the other arm is wrapped around the lion's torso. In most of the photos they do not look unlike a pair of lovers in carnal embrace.]
