Anotheropti's Kinktober 2024

Another year, another October full of femslash! This list will work like last year as a schedule, and I'll fill it out with links as the month progresses, but I won't pin it like last time.

I wrote mostly BG3 this year, but I decided to add in a couple non-BG3 fics. They're fandoms you might be familiar with, so hopefully you'll come along for the ride.

Ships, prompts, and dates below the cut 💜

For people that need context, Asheera is my primary Tav. I write a lot of fic about my favorite half-orc paladin that you can read on AO3.

October 1 — Aylin/Isobel (Body Worship)

October 3 — Aylin/Isobel/Shadowheart (Voyeurism)

October 5 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Rope Bondage)

October 7 — Karlach/Shadowheart (Modern AU + Gunplay)

October 9 — Minthara/Lae'zel (Leather)

October 12 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Strap-ons)

October 14 — [Pathfinder WOTR] Arueshalae/Knight Commander (Praise Kink)

October 16 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Biting + Bruising)

October 18 — [Dragon Age: Inquisition] Adaar/Sera (Face sitting)

October 22 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Wax Play)

October 24 — Minthara/Shadowheart (Fisting)

October 26 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Semi-public sex)

October 28 — [Divinity: Original Sin 2] Lohse/Sebille (Gloves + Blood)

October 30 — Asheera/Shadowheart (Secret free day prompt)

Hi ho, its 🗿 nonnie, how are u hehe, is the smut fic cooking??

Hi, nonnie! Thank you for asking!

I have been very busy - my supervisor took a week off to get her baby's nursery ready, so I was on my own for the whole week for the first time 😬 (there are not enough fingers to count how many times I felt nervous, but * I think * I did well enough).

Because of that, and the fact that I started this new job around three weeks ago, my time for writing has been non-existent - my priority is my job, studying cases and developing materials for the sessions and it takes up almost all of my free time right now.

Like so, I'm afraid there won't be much writing here, or at least not in the way there used to be 🫠

I hope you're well too 😊✨️

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)

I really love that I've now been called misogynist AND racist for shipping Rylan, in subtweets (subtumbls?) from people I've never even interacted with. I genuinely do find it hilarious because, to paraphrase the immortal words of Fall Out Boy, I typically don't care what you think as long as it's about me. :3

But this is getting kinda weird and personal and if you think I won't hear what you say about me just because you've blocked me specifically then you must be new.

I'm sorry, who was unnecessarily nasty? Because I haven't seen anyone be nasty in this very oblique conversation until now.

For what it's worth, in case anyone with two braincells to rub together was confused (not that they would be), I don't 'have a fetish for gay men' (which is something I feel like only a homophobe would say, but I tend to try not to call names until someone does it to me). I just feel the chemistry between those two characters that's very clearly intended in the script and performances. The arc of their relationship is deeply wholesome and sweet, and that kiss at the campfire is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in a video game. Also Dylan and Ryan sparked something in me that I honestly thought was dead, reminded me that I was full of stories when I was in a very, very dark place in my life and I will love them for that forever. And I've already promised another 100k of fic about them so anyone who has a problem with that can die mad I guess stay tuned for that.

This is a silly thing to fight about and I should be above getting heated over internet shipping wars and responding to insults from unserious people. But when they turn into personal attacks for no good reason? I guess I'm not. I don't want anyone to change what they ship or what they write, I only want them to stop being so smug and superior while willfully misinterpreting the canon and accusing others of the same and so much worse.

if you have a good vibe/kind thought to spare and could send it my way. i'd really appreciate it.

Panel de PUNK- Fairy of Flowers, Lip!

This one is for all the Panel de Pon fans out there! Yes, all three of you!! :D

...I kid, I kid. ^^; But yeah, I assume most people don't know about this obscure Nintendo puzzle game that wasn't even legally available to play outside of Japan until *checks notes* 3 years ago...even though its initial release was in 1995... I mean, I didn't know much about it until I watched this playthrough-- but once I did, I instantly fell in love. It looks like just the kind of thing I would have been OBSESSED with when I was 11, with its girly aesthetic and cute magical characters~

Which is why I wanted to draw them...although I couldn't quite find the inspiration to do it until I changed the aesthetic up a bit. ^^ I see it as just a cosmetic change though; like Lip would still have the same kiddy dialogue and personality, it's just that now she actually looks like she might be going to Death Mountain to defeat the Demon King. :]

[the-way-astray]

alright everybody can we please stop tagging me/talking about me in the notes of pro keefe/sokeefe posts. i know strieefe has made it so that it's really funny to talk about how much i love him and how much i'm in denial when i say negative things about him under those posts (and that's all in good fun and not the problem), but we have to think about the fact that the ops are just trying to make a positive post and probably don't want a keefe hater in their notes /srs

i love reading haikyuu tiktok shipping discourse comment sections. it's so entertaining seeing so many people with such bad taste.

Snippet 1.4

Previous

The next morning, Henchman sat in the infirmary of Villain's Headquarters, the atmosphere as thick as smoke. Henchman figured Villain let slip to someone what they were planning to do the Henchman as a punishment for what they'd done, or maybe even details of how they'd be tortured or killed, or maybe even thrown out for the heroes to round up like a stray dog, most likely with their tongue cut out and hands broken so they didn't stand a chance at revealing anything they'd learned about Villain

They didn't really know anything useful for the heroes anyway. They knew Villain's favorite color (dark blue), favorite foods (anything with chocolate), allergies (blueberries), their least favorite movie genre (horror) and a couple other things they picked up from being around Villain so much.

They learned why Villain didn't get on well with their parents (they very much had a favorite child and it wasn't Villain) and what'd brought on their anger towards the Hero Agency once Villain brought them into their confidence, sure, but they didn't know much more about plans then the average civilian--that would be Right Hand. Their actual duties consisted of watching over supplies, managing other henchmen and keeping an eye on the overall workings of Headquarters.

Henchman hoped that taking down Hero would make Villain proud of them. Would make them allow Henchman into their inner circle and bring them into their confidence. They'd hoped to get as close to Villain as Right Hand--closer, after bringing down Hero. And instead, they'd suffered two humiliating defeats (and several broken ribs).

It all came to a head when Medic came in to check on Henchman's stitches. in addition to the blunt force trauma of being thrown through a window and into a wall, glass shards stuck into their back and left jagged, stinging wounds that oozed blood well into the night. Henchman sat on their cot, facing away from Medic as their wounds were inspected and re-dressed, and even then they could feel the hesitation Medic's hands, which were usually sure and quick.

Silence hung in the room like a dead man.

"What are they gonna do?" Henchman asked in a croaky voice, just barely above a whisper.

Medic paused. Considered. "What?"

"Villain. What are they gonna do to me?"

Again, they were met with silence. Henchman was sure the stress was worse than any answer Medic could've given until... Medic laughed. They laughed. It wasn't a snort or a scoff, or even a giggle--and they didn't even try to hide it! Medic stepped back for a moment, cackling as Henchman's stomach dropped. Of all the answers they were expecting, that was one they hadn't prepared for in the slightest.

"Oh, God, I needed that. You're hysterical."

"I'm being serious!" Henchman whirled around half way before the agony from the mess that somehow made up their abdomen sent lightning-hot reminders of why that was a horrible idea.

"Stop it, you're gonna hurt yourself," Medic scolded lightly, laughter still dancing in their eyes. "Have you really been stressed about that the whole time?"

"YES!" Henchman was near screaming now, though they weren't sure if it was ager or confusion that raised their voice. "Why wouldn't I be? Did you see how furious Villain was before they left? And I haven't seen them since. I left without permission and acted without orders; they have every reason to be upset. And everyone and everything's been so quiet today, it's like I've been handed down a death sentence."

Medic cleared their throat and the last embers of amusement flickered out. "Yeah, well, you're right about that, but you're not the one in danger. Or at least, you weren't when it mattered."

The tone of Medic's voice was dead serious--terrifying--and didn't help the growing pit of anxiety that had hunkered down in Henchman's stomach. They felt like they were going to pass out, woozy and dizzy and like the world was tipping out from under them.

A sharp snap under their nose anchored them a little more steadily to the bed they were sitting on, Medic having circled around the cot to look Henchman in the eyes. "You're fine, relax. The rest of us weren't supposed to tell you because it was bad, even for Villain, but I don't think you're in for anything more than a slap on the wrist, and neither does anyone else."

And they wouldn't understand that even if Henchman wasn't going to be killed, as thankful for that as they were, even a slap on the wrist as Medic said would destroy everything Henchman had been working towards. Everything they'd been hoping for. They should've known going into the fight that they were putting Villain's trust in them on the line, and they had--to a point.

They never expected they would fail as horribly as they did, nor that Villain would react with the kind of quiet fury usually reserved for their rare interactions with heroes or other members of the Agency itself. They hadn't expected to be sent to the infirmary the way that they were, or to be teleported directly to it from an alley just off the main scene of the fight after barely getting away.

And what they really weren't expecting was what hurt most: The fact that Villain had put them here and walked off without another word. They'd spoken in their office, but beyond that, there wasn't even a threatening note, or a warning given through Medic. They'd been effectively put in time out, knowing what might be coming but not having enough confidence to really prepare themselves one way or another.

“Hey, what did I just say?” Medic says, this time with annoyance in their tone. “Even if I don’t know the details, I know you’re gonna be fine, okay? You’re gonna be fine, and I don’t think you’re clocking Villain’s feelings towards what you did to Hero as correctly as you think you are, yeah?”

Their assessment was fair, if not a little stinging. They’d never been good at reading people, but they’d hoped Villain was the exception. Even with their monotone voice and often stony demeanor, Henchman knew how tired they were in a glance after a fight; knew when to call for Medic or coffee or let them get straight to their personal rooms and block everyone else from entering–something Right Hand was usually supposed to do. 

The entire night, they’d tried not to deliberate too much on Right Hand. They’d tried to ignore the stinging jealousy of the fact that there was already someone that was so close to Villain they could almost read their thoughts. They knew Villain kept a certian amount of professionalism and distance between themselves and Right Hand that didn’t seem to be present between Villain and Henchman, but most liekly because it wasn’t seen as necessary. They weren’t close enough for it to matter in the first place. 

“Okay,” Henchman murmured, and one look at Meidc’s face made it clear to even them that they didn’t beleive them for a second. Nevertheless, Medic stepped away. 

“Okay,” they echoed, with much more confidence. “You seem to be healing well, all things considered, and I have other patients I need to take care of, so I’m going to leave you here, okay? Try not to freak out too much on me, yeah?”

Henchman gave a weak nod, and an even weaker smile. They were sure that Medic could see them spiraling form the outside, but if they did, they didn’t say anything about it. “Yeah.”

well. did you fucking miss me.

[delyth88]

I had an idea for a fic, but now i'm just writing out scenes to figure out what happened next, and I have no idea if any of it will make it into the fic in the end.

Like it's fun, and interesting, but it seems like an awful lot of extra work! lol

Is this how other people do this writing thing?

[andnowrotfront]

first and last post i'll make like this but guilty gear fans are literally so annoying. if you're upset over venom getting in and not robo-ky you're literallyyyy just being racist. i don't know how to phrase it but if you're posting about how a literaly flying head deserves a spot on the roster over a brown man you;re kind of insane. sorry that your misogyny robot isn't relevant in the game any more after they completely wrapped up his story in xrd (where he had a full 3D model and still wasn't playable mind you!) by blowing him up and leaving only his head behind lol.

As announced previously, I'll be holding our next vocaloid fanlive at Yama Con 12 in Pigeon Forge, TN!

Rather than having a specific setlist theme like I did at Anime Blues Con, I'll instead be shuffling the setlist with songs taken directly from our table's suggestion box.

Thank you to everyone who left a suggestion, and if you plan to attend Yama con this year, don't forget to stop by our table to vote on next year's Guest!
