I once flew to Egypt for mummy to settle some pain in my tummy; I learned robbing a grave isn’t all that they rave, and besides, all the goods just get crummy.

Artist Research - Olga Ziemska

Olga Ziemska is a Polish-American sculptor who works with natural materials and blends nature with humanity. An extract from her artist statement goes as follows: "Returning meaning back to nature. Making the human body a part of the whole, not the whole part.  Blending the body in. Showing how easily it can mesh, morph and disappear.  The body is nothing without that which surrounds it."

I decided to focus on Stillness In Motion, one of Ziemska’s most impressive sculptures, Ziemska uses only cut willow branches and wire to depict the silhouette of a woman, with flowing branches extending behind her. This piece piqued my interest due to the materials used and the scale of the sculpture (both factors I learned to look out for by watching the sculpture seminar last semester).

Olga's work and her connection between nature and humans is of great interest as well as concerning my project idea. Connecting nature with people and possibly looking at how nature can take over the human form over time is something I may choose to explore in my upcoming electives.

Hello! If this is a poetry exchange, can we write poetry for it too? Only that, shorter than 1000 words?

If one of the songs or poems you receive as a prompt inspires you to write a poem of your own, by all means!

While your poem does not need to be 1000 words long, we do ask that you put a similar amount of time and effort into it as it would take to write about 1000 words of fic-- after all, no one wants to receive a single 10-word haiku as their finished gift!

Try to aim for at least 200-300 cumulative words, though this total is somewhat flexible, since writing poetry can be harder to quantify than normal fic. If you prefer working with shorter poetry formats, consider writing a series of connected poems! Or, if you're feeling generous, one poem for each of your giftee's prompts (should they submit more than one!)

Sometimes I go through a phase

Called post-exertion malaise.

My spoons have expired

I’m so freaking tired,

That I now need to rest for three days,

[catwingsathena]

One night, before going to bed

I set up my sweet tooth to be fed

I thought, “what do I want?”

Tried my hand at fondant—

But I think I made Oobleck instead.

The Last Stand Exam

This file documents the questions administered to the adventuring party known as the Bad Kids during their Last Standard Exam, in their junior year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. This assessment was produced from a variety of class materials relevant to the curriculum of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, as submitted to the principal Arthur Aguefort prior to the start of the school year. This list is accompanied by documentation of the creatures the party known as the Bad Kids was required to face as part of the exam.

The exam is graded out of 100 points; the scoring involves the students correctly answering the questions in the appropriate time interval as well as their heroic last stands. The students are expected to simultaneously fight off a horde of creatures and participate in the examination equally; each student in this party must answer two of the twelve questions.

Neither exam aids, nor outside interference are permitted during the examination period--this excludes clerical divine intervention, as appropriately performed by a member of the party in question. By standard, the proctor must be protected--death of the proctor results in a 30 point score reduction regardless of circumstance.

By Solisian School District Standards, this party reports excellent grades and a high level of competency with regard to independent adventuring.* They were allotted a grace period prior to exam initiation for preparatory spellcasting and review of the exam parameters. Based on prior academic achievement**, the students were allowed two chances to defer a question or utilize previous materials in their response. Questions where these materials were used will be marked with a **.

Party Members:

Adaine Abernant | Wizard

Kristen Applebees | Cleric

Figueroth Faeth | Bard / Paladin / Warlock / "Barbarian"

Considering the ultimate goal is to become adventurers, it makes the most sense that actual application of our skills would be most important. If actual adventuring doesn't show our skills, what will? No matter how many class I take, it won't make me a better bard or fighter.

warnings: smut, cnc, overstimulation, oral f receiving, he's mean.

tamlin who would literally die for a taste of your cunt.

tamlin who sometimes begs for it. he falls on his knees between your thighs and starts to rub his nose against your skin. just your smell makes his head spin. he would plea you to give him something, anything.

tamlin who is the happiest male in all Prythian when you finally give in, letting him devour you like you're the last meal on earth. he would make you cum so many times. and he would make a mess in his pants like a fucking inexperienced boy.

tamlin who sometimes is extremely dominant. he would grap your thighs, digging his claws into your skin until you bleed, and spread you open like a banquet. he would take what he wants from you without caring for you comfort.

tamlin who pretend not to listen when you beg for him to stop. when you say that it's too much. but he knows your body better than you. he knows that you can take more.

tamlin who slap a hand on your face shutting you up. he would use his force to keep you in place while you try to escape from him. tears stream down from your eyes while he just laughs cruelly at you. "don't run away from me, little slut." he would say. his voice muffled since he won't leave you a second of peace. and no matter of much you beg.

tamlin who would slap your clit as a form of torture just to make you yelp and say things like "keep talking and I'll slap the shit out of you."

tamlin who stops, at some point. and then he would return your tamtam. his claws gone. he would give you the best aftercare, cleaning your body and caressing the skin that he damaged. he would give you water, snacks and once he assures that you are okay, he would lay with you reading some limericks he wrote just for you.
