Some days can be difficult, with lot of guilt when you can't take care of chores and battling against your brain; but you learn how to do better, how to break chores into little chores, how sometimes you need a day off from work (without feeling guilty about it) and find little sparkles of joy that make you happy. And when you can't use properly your magnet board for organise your life, you can use it for decorating it with some of your favourite art ever and smile everytime you passing by. Special thanks and my eternal gratitude goes to @papurrcat and @heeeygracie for blessing everyone with their wonderful masterpieces! 🫂♥️

Oh, and the Mira draw, from Papurrcat was my first commission! I'm very very happy and grateful for that 🥰

#Today was a good day

how goes your day? Read anything interesting recently?

pretty good!

i'm a little behind on my reading because i got possessed by smut demons again and a lot of the fics i'm actively reading i've already mentioned, but a few i don't think i've rec'd yet that i really enjoyed are

wolfish behaviour by @kayr0ss [M] [Polytrix] [Ongoing]

What if Rumi was werewolf but also was a college professor, and what if Zoey was a vet, and what if Mira had 5 cats and one had IBS too, and they were in a romantic comedy what then

i just love the comedy of this. it's such a fun set up, and one that isn't wasted at all. every joke is perfectly executed

plus, kayr0ss's writing style and characterisations are a complete and utter delight. i'm especially fond of Rumi in this one.

an impossible greed to stomach by @unicyclehippo [E] [Polytrix] [Ongoing]

When Mira says something she maybe (definitely) shouldn't in the throes of passion, it leads to a surprising confession from Rumi. Rumi, who can and does come. Rumi, who can and does come only when she is alone and at her own hand...and who would like to be able to eventually come with her girlfriends and under their tender (and enthusiastic) attention.

i'm super weak for anything that gives Rumi a weird relationship with her body and sex and pleasure and this is that in spades.

also, extremely fucking hot oh my god. what the fuck.

Who's A Good Girl?: Being A Dog Won't Stop Her Having Three Jobs, Matchmaking Her Stubborn Housemates, and Saving The World (And Falling in Love?) by @unicyclehippo [T] [Polytrix] [Ongoing]

Zoey and Mira have been best friends for five years and housemates for four and a half and life is good! Well... Mira's library section and work events are all smooth sailing, which she desperately needs because the rest of her life has been feeling rough. And Zoey? She likes working hard! Taking any and all opportunities that come her way! But it would be kind of nice to slow down sometimes. And to not be treated like she's expendable... Could finding a dog in the middle of a storm be the thing to fix everything? Probably not. But she's very cute, and weirdly clever, and they love her.

i'm going to give you the big disclaimer that's also in the tags: Rumi is a dog for now. she is actually a human. i'm on my hands and knees begging you to read that tag and understand she is going to be a human again.

with that out the way, this is so much fun. unicyclehippo has absolutely mastered Zoey's inner monologuing and it's never been clearer than it is in this fic.

Roots by @ghostbitsforkicks [E] [Polytrix] [Complete]

Zoey learns how to forgive herself.

this is a heavier one about trauma and how it impacts Zoey, and her relationship with sex and kink in particular.

it's also very hot because it's written by ghostbitsforkicks so, duh. but be ready for it to hit you right in the chest.

ink & honey by @ghostgrlonfirst [E] [Polytrix] [Ongoing]

Dancer and professional lovergirl Mira meets Zoey, owner of Ink & Honey during a typhoon. She walks away that evening wondering if Zoey really is sunshine personified or if she's simply lonely and latching on to any warmth and kindness sent her way. When she meets Zoey's long-term queer platonic partner and horror video game icon Ryu Rumi and their daughter Hana, she thinks she's in over her head - if she can't keep a family of her own, what right does she have to destroy someone else's?

absolutely wonderful AU with one of the best and most realistic portrayals of a polyamorous relationship i've seen in fic. there's a lot of love for the characters here, both the ones from canon and the original characters used to flesh the world out, and it just oozes out in the writing.

extra buoyant corndog by @gohandinhand [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]

Or: Rumi finds out her homeschool curriculum wasn't exactly comprehensive.

look i know the name is weird. don't worry about that bit. this is a very silly and light post-canon fic about how that penthouse is actually impossible to babyproof and also Rumi is a bit of a dumbass

when i say i was laughing out loud i do mean that. but, also, they're so soft and in love even if they show it by teasing (Rumi deserves the teasing)

Mira, having just had her Honstrap swallowed like a roll of kimbap by Rumi and her pussy eaten out like a spoonless pudding cup by Zoey:

Rumi: I think we might’ve killed her.

Zoey: Nah, she’s fine. She’ll return to the land of the living once she sees the new collar I bought her.

Mira, sitting up: What new collar? You got me a new collar? Show me!

Zoey: See? Told you she was okay. She didn’t even need to see it to wake up.

how eerie to hear they're going to remake carrie. how eerie to hear they have made the mother into some kind of gentle well-meaning figure.

carrie is almost explicitly about the cycles of abuse. it is almost explicitly about how women and girls are taught to reproduce the patriarchy. it cannot be isolated from either message.

it shows cruel teenagers not as a random whacky plot point but instead to highlight that we are taught to mock other girls for not being fuckable; lest we ourselves be considered not-fuckable. we will eat our own kind to survive. nobody helps her because to help carrie would be to turn against the patriarchy.

carrie's mother has experienced abuse at the hands of her husband and religion not as a "sad backstory" but instead because it lampshades her behavior when she then turns and abuses her daughter while citing that same religion. we are forced to ask the question: what is the difference between the patriarchy and religion? aren't they both systems of control? we often see mothers as being the "ultimate" in innocence and kindness - but this book challenges that narrative. abusive mothers exist, and and always have. abusive women exist and always have. white women, after all, love voting for donald trump.

men are almost absent from the book, but their presence lingers. it feels almost like the red mark made after a slap - the men do not have to be there; the women will continue to abide by the rules without question. it is a devastating, haunting condemnation of the notion of feminine fragility. it accurately asserts that women are cruel, are capable, are power-hungry - and often are hiding behind perceived innocence to mask that cruelty. the abuse carrie experiences rests in a doubled betrayal: it is because of another woman. the supposed "sisterhood" is revealed to be thin, a guise of equanimity that is only offered to the "right" type of girl/woman.

many of us were not the right type of girl.

to go back on these main and obvious themes of the book - to rewrite the mother as some caring and sad creature is... a curious choice. i can't explain it, but it feels almost like censorship to me. it refuses a deeper meaning of the book (and one that questions the patriarchy) in favor of the incredibly thin plot of "what if scary girl had scary powers." i literally don't even know what level of misogyny it is that we have to defang everyone around her in order to tell her story. i'm baffled by it.

in the era of trad wives endlessly posting abusive content of their children online - the adaptation had plenty of meat to modernize her mother. in the era of AI and revenge porn and social media - there's a huge amount of space for a competent writer to play around in. after all, if the abuse is recorded and posted to media - and as the audience we're watching it without interfering - the story is now about us. it asks us who we are comfortable bullying.

it's okay if you feel like you don't have the writing chops to talk about how many religions are abusive and tacitly enable domestic violence. it's okay if you feel like you couldn't write a believable teenage bully. it's okay if you're just interested in "scary girl has scary powers."

but maybe, i don't know, choose a different fucking story?

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

#i feel like we should stop basing eldritch monsters on octupus and start basing them on starfish instead

^ Seconded.

I have a very strange link to share that a friend sent me. No, not a "'friend', eh? *wink wink nudge nudge*". A friend who's very into artbooks and archiving sent me this.

There is an unbelievable wealth of art books and educational material that is inexplicably hosted on e-hentai.

With more than a million absolutely free hentai doujinshi, manga, cosplay and CG galleries, E-Hentai Galleries is the world's largest free H

A cursory look on my part shows that almost all of this is either translated into english or has been localized. There are animation books by Tezuka. There are just artbooks you can't get anymore. This one, I am told, inspired bloodborne.

Lots of knowledge for you archived before archive.org. I hope you find it useful.

It's still a hentai site. Browse at your own risk. You might see illustrated nudity! How terrible!!!

Nhentai (a similar site) and the Internet Archive (for unrelated reasons) is facing lawsuit-related instability in the last few days, so it's good to make the time saving these kinds of priceless resources.

The upside to the adhd forgetting that you made yourself a drink thing is thinking to yourself “man I could go for a drink right now” and looking to your right and seeing a drink has appeared there. Thank you, past me. I lost you somewhere but you have still provided.
