My latest piece: Our Blessed Rebel Queen, Carrie Fisher
done in watercolour and ink.
Carrie Fisher has always been a great inspiration to me. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I wanted to create a piece to bring me and comfort and strength. To look upon Space Mom and say “yes, I can face today.”

Please help me I was in a smut rp and the person on the other end definitely just referred to my character's boobs as "the estate of her massive mammaries" and also as "motherly fun bags" what the fuck do I do with this
If outright laughter at that purple prose doesn’t scare them away:
Consistently refer to your character’s breasts as such, both in purple prose and in spoken word. Be sure to also use similar prose for other parts of the body. I am particularly fond of ‘little man in the canoe’ when referring to the clitoris. If your partner has a penis, here is a compendium of innuendo for penis and similar reproductive anatomy, organized by known publishing date.
Some favorites:
baloney pony
low neck and short sleeves
mutton gun
gay deceiver
trouble monkey
Charles Dickens
You will find less official words for the vagina, so it will be a challenge. Come up with some new, exciting terms for your ‘secret flower.’ I feel it is more important here to refer to your character’s body parts in as flattering and empowering terms as you can. On your partner- aim for ridiculous.
However, any moment that you can use the word ‘cravasse’ will result in extra points from the judges. But only because it will get “Wonderboy” stuck in their head.
Counter-offer:
Be as clinical as humanly possible. Refer to all body parts by their medical terms.

Necromancer Dating Tip:
Wear something nice to the cemetery and hang out there every night till you meet some cute sorcerer/sorceress. Statistically it WILL happen…eventually.
Me: *laying seductively on a tomb* “So…you come here often?”
Are bone-related puns/innuendo a good thing or a bad thing to use on necromancers, I wonder?
Asking for a friend.
Bone puns are sure to win over that special necromancer in your life…or at least it would if she was me. lol
Stanford University's Global Medieval Sourcebook is a new online compendium of English translations for overlooked Middle Ages texts.
Squee!
Stanford University faculty and students hope to help give nerds like us the context to understand a wealth of medieval manuscripts “by presenting a diverse array of short medieval texts within their cultural and historical context: sharing what we know about who produced them, who read them, what their importance was, and how it has shaped the way we think about the Middle Ages today.”

No this is the story of how his parents conceived him.
original theory: succubi are always women, incubi are always men
facts: in fact succubus comes from the latin word “succubare” which means “to lie under” and incubus comes from the latin word “incubare” which means “to lie on”
new improved theory: incubi are always tops and succubi are always bottoms. gender doesn’t matter at all.
