Hello! I'm new here, I write smut, a lot of smut. Yesterday I dropped chapter 3 of my dronefic. You can find it here! It's about a woman who has spent a good third of her life stuck inside a suit of armor getting dropped into a world of horny ditzy drones, Of Mice and Adders!

I'm also writing an HDG fic called Instar! It's about a girl coming to terms with ableistic trauma.

If you like either of those, I have a lot more smut available on my Ao3!

[famdommcfanface]

youraislopbores.me interraction that made me cry lmao.

The intention behind the message was that according to Google Emily was the name most common for the type of person who I'm guessing would use the website, so I was trying to freak someone out by knowing their name (very slim chance but hey).

I guess it worked?????

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Got isekaid into a fantasy world and they said to go back to earth I have to kill the demon queen.

Damn. Hope they have other options.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Aight so turns out they did have other options and once the demon queen dies we all go home no matter who kills her so I've been just killing adventurers.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Yeah it turns out if you pretend to be a weak girl and they "rescue you" they automatically assume you're joining their harem and then you can just stab them.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

I have so many random legendary weapons now

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Ok so it's kind of hard to keep track of all these adventurers but I have a plan. I'm going to become one of the demon queen's lieutenant.

I was worried I'd have to fight to get into her palace but the guy at the gates in account of being one of the "heroes" but the guy at the gates said something about my soul being stained by a hundred deaths or something and just let me in

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

I'm going to meet the demon queen now, everyone told me she was some hideous monster. Wish me luck...

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

This is the hottest woman I have ever met

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

So I have a leash now.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

You know I think people had the wrong idea about the demon queen. Her idea for covering the land in eternal darkness seems really smart and orphaning an entire village is just how she blows off steam

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Ok so mommy said my new armor will make me better at serving her but it is just a chainmail bikini

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Oh

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

There are no corporations here! There's no global warming! Normal medieval/renaissance era issues you'd worry about don't exist for genre reasons!

If those stupid anime protagonist wannabes managed to kill mommy I would have been sent back to earth and have to live in capitalism land again!! So obviously I had to stab them in the chest again and again and again until the smugness left their eyes!

What's not clicking?

"But why would it mainly be affecting young people?"

Young people were more likely to survive with permanent damage rather than die from Covid, and because they were less likely to die and everyone was pretending long Covid didn't exist young people were also told Covid was "not a big deal" so they were less likely to protect themselves.

so I spent a lot of last year working with / around this local activist group mostly made up of your typical ambiently queer, ambiently leftist college students. like every loose affinity group it struggled with the sort of unpredictable fluctuating capacity problem of most participants being tied to day jobs or college term times, variously disabled, turning up when they could make it and then vanishing for months at a time. it's to be expected with that kind of organising but it does also make for kind of a pain in the neck.

anyway this particular group does (or did?) have kind of a nucleus of very committed members who were more tight knit and ended up taking on a lot of the practical work themselves. they were your more serious vanguard party type communists, very much structure and role enjoyers, which is probably why things eventually played out the way they did. they took their commitments seriously and were constantly sort of irked that others saw the voluntary nature of the group as a reason to deprioritise it in favour of what might be life necessities but are still basically capitalist pursuits. fair, maybe.

about this time last summer, that inner circle apparently decided to get more serious about recruitment and figure out how to do outreach in a way that would bring in more committed membership to reliably spread the workload. the way these things go, a couple of these guys had originally met through a local gay bar's drag nights (specifically the drag king circuit) so one of the first things they did was draft in another friend who did marketing for those events already and get him pushing for more eyeballs on their event listings via twitter and instagram.

now, bar guy was very very good at this. one of his big innovations was the idea of using club promoter type strategies to get more students more consistently engaged with the group's activities. that basically meant appointing some of the more active members as 'outreach officers' and encouraging them to do things like organise socials for new volunteers and train those people in turn as recruiters, with a tiny bit of a floating budget for pot lucks and house parties every couple of months.

this worked astonishingly well, like beyond anyone's wildest expectations. at a certain point they had brand new members throwing their own parties just to introduce their friends to the people who recruited them, who in turn had been recruited by the volunteers the outreach officers trained. it worked so well that it got to be a problem because most of these newer members were also relatively new to organising and didn't have a whole lot of theory. it was getting very vibes based and suddenly there was a huge influx of people to handle who most original members didn't know. and also, because they'd asked a gay guy who promoted gay club nights to organise all this peer-to-peer recruitment, it turned out almost all the new members were gay men.

in itself that's not necessarily a problem, but obviously it presents a challenge for a group that's supposed to be open and diverse. especially because outside of the little clique who started all this, most of the old guard were not gay men. it didn't blow up into the kind of messy schism it could have, fortunately, but a lot of the older members (especially those who were less into the hardline soviet-nostalgia communist utopianism of the main organisers) decided around this point that they didn't feel the group was a good fit for them any more, and split.

so now the inner circle had a new problem. the remaining group was overwhelmingly now made up of very sweet well intentioned young gay men who wanted to volunteer with this cool voluntary circle of other young gay men who liked to party, and vanishingly few of them actually knew a whole lot about mao or lenin or the practicalities of community organising or what have you. but club guy was like "don't worry I've got this", and suddenly out of nowhere started producing all this orientation literature and politics 101 material that he was chain emailing to his army of new recruits and recruiters. like he just had all this shit ready to go. he had slogans, he had essays, he had these weird point by point breakdowns of what karl marx would have to say about your college courses and why communism was like actually a lot like bdsm if you think about it.

you will probably not be shocked to learn that it very quickly came out he had been generating all this shit with chatgpt. the group went into absolute meltdown, the vanguard party shut down their website and disassociated themselves completely from the whole mess, and the last I heard they're back to organising with some of the older group members and whoever turns up whenever they turn up. but club guy was unrepentant, he'd already sent out all his ideologyslop to his recruiters, who had sent it to their guys who sent it to their guys, who I guess are still out there recruiting twinks into the fully automated contentless communism mill,

or the MLM MLM LLM MLM if you're nasty.

yknow that dragon can tell when you’re turned on doing its oral inspection. there’s no reason you should be stroking its tongue for as long as you have been. does the texture fascinate you? do you want to feel it somewhere else? it would be trivially easy for her to knock you down and force her tongue between your legs until you’re screaming her name and begging her to make you cum into her mouth…

being the level up tutorial lady has some perks, like now whenever a new player comes along she tells them the only way to grind their level is to grind against her. funny as fuck to never correct them. watching the heroine who will save the world whimper as she shoots another load against her thighs because she "just needs to get a bit stronger" never gets old.

she doesn't even know she's a secret boss and they unlock penetration options after beating her. she can't wait to see the look on her face after she realizes she could have been fucking her senseless each level instead of pathetically rubbing against her.

[a-random-fruity-sky]

So where might one begin the journey of leveling up?

Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.

[beaniebaneenie]

Couple things here, for when you do this to people: 

1. if you get the “answer my call” text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL. 

They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didn’t say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all. 

2. “Lack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!” or the other version, “Not providing notice is illegal!”

No it isn’t. Neither is true. 

And in the US, all states except Montana are “at will” employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as “right to work” to make it sound better, it’s the same thing). Sure, at-will employment means they can fire you without cause, BUT! It also means that you are not legally required to give a reason for quitting, or to give notice of any kind. 

Is it polite to give notice when you can? Sure. Do bosses expect it? Absolutely. But that does not make you legally required to provide it. 

3. The only thing I would change in the worker’s interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in. 

Employee: “Hey Mark. Sorry I’m unable to cover the shift tonight because I’m studying for my exam tomorrow.” 

Don’t give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you don’t. 

DON’T DO IT.

You do not owe your boss any information about what you do off the clock, and any reason you give will only ever be used against you. 

Boss: “Hey I need you to cover Jasper’s shift tonight.”

Employee: “Sorry, I’m not available.”

And leave it at that. 

Do not elaborate. 

Do not offer additional information. 

When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. “With respect, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I’m unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.”

Be a broken record- you’re unavailable. That’s the only information they need to know, and it’s the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know. 

Please stop giving your bosses information they don’t need to know and don’t get to have, because they’re only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.
