Ultrasuperheavy

The ISG Photon is the most powerful weapon Cadmium Systems, LIC ever built—a planet-destroying, kilometer and a half long ship capable of triggering dinosaur-level extinctions if you’re unfortunate enough to be on its receiving end. Up until now, this forbidden weapon has only ever been used in combat once. Now, the Affini have arrived, and the Battle of Midas is underway. Hello lovelies! I've been kinda quiet for some time, and that's because I was working on a CGL oneshot for you! It's a fairly short read, at ~10k words, but I'm very proud of it. I hope you enjoy!

Why not give in, feralist? Think of how soothing it'll be to finally get some much-needed rest in your owner's arms, listening to the gentle flow of air and thrumming rhythm of her core. Independence doesn't suit you <3

How do you to the typesetting for your graphics? They look very nice also I love your haustorium graphic ^^

You're too kind! As for the typesetting, thus far I've made all of my bonus art for Gold Laced Cuffs in Inkscape, which is a free and open source vector art software. The font is usually Adwaita Sans or Adwaita Mono, and I just use the default tools (plus some eyeballing) to make the pictures and line everything up. In the future, I'd like to add Blender and/or Procreate to this pipeline, but this is how I make them for now :3 (Also, for the record, I host the images on my own private web server. If this isn't an option for you, try using a site like PostImages or Imgur)

Oh how wondrous it must be to no longer worry about anything. Once your owner has got you implanted, you'll be safe forever and ever~ ::3

Dare I say the thing I love most about Human Domestication Guide as a setting, beyond the magical anti-anxiety and HRT drugs, or even the Affini's unending love for humans, is the fact that it's non-consensual.

As someone with a flavor of mental illness that simultaneously makes me desperately need help, but also be absolutely terrified of it with all my heart, I would still suffer in a world where the Affini followed human conventions of consent. I would do what I've always done and hide my problems, pretend everything is fine, or frustrate medical workers until they deem me treatment resistant and give up (which has happened several times now).

In such a world, I'd refuse Class E's, only cautiously accept Class G's, and go on my merry way slowly tearing myself apart, with expectations of living to 30 at best, 25 at worst. Any time I'd be offered domestication, I'd refuse not because I don't want it, but because I'm pathologically inclined to refuse such a thing no matter what.

The fact that this isn't the case, that I'd be dragged kicking and screaming to receive help, and that help would actually fix me, is the #1 reason I enjoy the setting. The guarantee that, even if I run and hide because I can't help myself, someone will find me, and they're going to care for me until the end of time.
