Bath Time Gone Wrong [Part One]
an: a huge thanks to @satorini for the prompt that produced this. Let's see if this goes anywhere... it sure has potential.
prompt: Your best friend lets you crash at her place over the spring break since you have nowhere else to go. Little did you know that it isn't actually her place. Instead, it belongs to a tall (grumpy) hot guy who finds you in his apartment–her brother.
pairing: Nanami Kento x female reader
warnings: none, SFW
Series Masterlist | Part Two
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e9fdbca39ef119f559069db12f36e91/6b2de8ddf04d1bc1-6d/s540x810/aeb04a1df2f2b8ae54d4cbf46de551c5fbc7e263.jpg)
You couldn’t believe your luck. Not only was your friend clearly loaded, they had immaculate taste as well. All of this you might never have discovered if it hadn’t been for a miscommunication that left you with no place to stay over spring break.
It would be wrong to blame your parents for forgetting that you would be coming home for the two week break, instead arranging for the family home to be renovated whilst they cruised to goodness knows where, but you still felt that stab of disappointment and hurt in your gut. One phone call to confirm dates would have fixed that, but no, what was done was done.
Instead, you found yourself in a penthouse apartment that your friend from college said you could use as it was currently sitting empty. Those were Karin’s exact words, “Don’t worry about it, the place is empty anyways. May as well make the most of it!”
Whistling through your teeth, you did a slow 360 spin of the entranceway.
The moment your Uber had pulled up outside the building you had an inkling that the inside was going to be luxurious, and you were dead right. The penthouse apartment on the very top floor needed a code and a swipe of a keycard to access by elevator. Your fingers fumbled on the keypad in your nervous excitement, only blowing out a breath of relief when you began to move smoothly upward.
As the doors opened, you found that the apartment was almost entirely open plan with panoramic windows of the cityscape lining the length of the wall in front of you. “Well, fuck…”
The decor wasn’t quite minimalist, there were too many home comforts to allow for that, but everything was clean lines and muted colour palettes. The sprawling couch scattered with one too many throw pillows, a basket of neatly folded blankets of every type of thickness tucked into the corner and a lush potted plant with long spiky green leaves all added that homely touch that true minimalist apartments lacked.
It was spacious but oddly welcoming with a rich scent that permeated the air, French coffee and freshly baked bread. You wondered if there was perhaps a housekeeper or someone that stopped by every few days to keep the place ticking over.
That thought was how you found yourself exploring deeper into the apartment, searching for an occupied room or some sign of life. There were no noises to be heard, no telltale signs that a terrified housekeeper might pop out any moment and scare the bejeezus out of you. What you did find was several seemingly unused bedrooms in different colour schemes and what you assumed was the master bedroom.
What a sight.
The bed dominated the majority of the room, a thick grey duvet adorned with pillows and a turned down fleece lined blanket on top. What kind of luxury lifestyle did Karin live that she had this kind of place stashed away, unused?
Perhaps you should have peeked inside the closets or the walk-in wardrobe at the very least, but you were drawn like the proverbial moth to a flame by the enticing peek of an en-suite bathroom.
Dumping your small wheelie suitcase and hold-all by the bed, you scurried towards the pristine black and white marble decorated room. It was safe to say you were giggling like an idiot, hands clapping together at the generously sized tub and did it have jets too? Oh my gosh, it did!
In your pure unfiltered joy, you found some jasmine scented bubble bath tucked away behind the bathroom mirror, completely overlooking the men’s razor and bottle of expensive cologne that sat beside it.
A bath would be exactly the thing to begin your new adventure. You could soak, shave your legs, listen to some music and contemplate what you could get up to with your two weeks here. Oh, takeout! You could order something super decadent and pretend that this was actually your place for a little while.
The possibilities were endless.
You set your phone up in the bathroom, finding a favourite playlist and blasting the music louder than you would have done back home. No one would mind, you were alone and the noise surely wouldn’t filter to any of the apartments below.
This was going to be an amazing spring break, you could feel it.
Kento was tired. What was new?
A weary hand passed over his face as he examined his reflection in the elevator mirror. Has he always looked this tired? Maybe.
He exhaled as the doors opened into his apartment, but only two steps forward told him that something was not right. Nothing had been touched or moved in the living area or kitchen, yet an unfamiliar scent mingled with the one he was used to.
Slowly, he deposited his briefcase and shrugged out of his jacket to hang it in the closet by the front door. He kicked out of his too-tight shoes and two fingers loosened the knot of his tie whilst his frown deepened.
His home office was exactly as it should be. The same with his little gym studio. None of the unoccupied guest bedrooms were disturbed, including the one that Karin had long claimed as her own for when she visited once in a blue moon.
Had Karin decided to visit thinking that he’d be away on the business trip that was cancelled last minute? It would be just like her to do something like that, but he was certain she would have stayed away from his room—the master suite.
Now certain to find his baby sister, who was as far from being a baby than ever, somewhere within the walls of his home, he felt his temper bubble. He didn’t need to be disturbed during what was pitched to him as mandated paid time off.
Kento was already annoyed by the idea that was forced upon him earlier this afternoon, and it wasn’t until he reached his building did he begin to think perhaps it was a blessing. Honestly, he couldn’t remember the last time he had taken any vacation time. A week or so to unwind, maybe read for the first time in months, sample a new whisky imported from Scotland…
The possibilities were endless.
He spied a small suitcase open on his bed, the contents a riotous jumble that made his head pound just to look at. A trail of clothing led from the bed to the bathroom door which stood slightly ajar. Perfumed steam escaped and his teeth grit together in irritation. Music played rather loudly in his opinion, a bright bubbly song with lyrics in a different language he couldn’t understand.
Did he dare to burst into the bathroom and scare the living daylights out of his darling little sister? The idea was tempting. The only downside being that he had no interest in mistakenly seeing her in some state of undress if she hadn’t yet made it into the bath. He would listen a little longer, wait until he was sure he wasn’t going to irreparably damage both his eyesight and his psyche before acting.
Kento padded around the bed, pulling his tie off and throwing it on the pillow to deal with later. The top three buttons on his shirt unbuttoned easily and breathing became a little easier again. Not for the first time, his mood shifted again. It would be nice to see Karin, catch up and find out how school was going. There was never enough time during the holidays to really enjoy her company so maybe this was all working out for the best.
He was still going to give her the fright of her life though.
The sound of splashing reached his ears and he smiled. Memories of tormenting his little sister rose to the surface whilst he tiptoed silently towards the bathroom door. He could hear the sound of humming along to the music and he had to stifle a snort of laughter, singing was not her forte.
A strong hand gripped the edge of the door. Kento held his breath, preparing to yell. Silently, he counted to three and leapt inside.
“Boooo!”
You had never screamed so loud in your entire life. A man was standing in the doorway of the bathroom, his features twisted in amusement but quickly shifting into sheer mortification.
Water sloshed over the side of the bath, bubbles going up your nose as you pushed your body low into the fragrant water. An intruder!
“Who the fuck are you?” You yelled indignantly, anger finally overcoming the terror ripping through your heart. Whoever he was, he was tall and incredibly pissed off.
His blond hair fell into his eyes, a hand the size of a dustbin lid swiping it back only to highlight the furious scrunch of his eyebrows. Sharp hazel eyes swung between you and the wall, clearly unsure where to look. In other circumstances, you would have called him good-looking, handsome even but not when you were so very vulnerable.
He spoke, almost to himself. “You’re not Karin…”
You knew that name, it was your friend’s name. This was her pl—Shit, this wasn’t her place. You could scream.
“I’m Nanami Kento, and you’re in my bath. Who are you?”

Masterlist of stories and flash fiction..
It's about time I got up off my butt and put together an easy to reference list. I'll improve the tags and descriptions in the future, but for now these are all the ones I could find in my search for all my pieces. 😁
Obviously, these are works of pure fantasy. Themes of mind control, manipulation, transformation and non-consent are all included to various degrees, and are all fine for some quality 'self-exploration', but should never be the basis for actual real-world dynamics. No matter how hot they be. Please remember that mutual consent, clear communications, and safety are the keys to a fun and healthy kink lifestyle.
New(ish):
Synthetic Temptation Pt.1: (Mind control, corruption, brainwashing, assimilation, drone, tech control, some trans) - Walking into the belly of the beast, Amanda fights the siren call of the Hive..

Bambi: Banded: (f/f, brainwashing, tech control, betrayal, forced femme.) - A mind control headband? Why not. All shall be blonde and ditzy!
Bambi Boyfriend(new!): (f/m, brainwashing, forced feminization, tech control, corruption, female domination) - Samantha is in the final steps of producing a fresh, new Bambi doll out of her boyfriend. The bimbofication must flow!
Betrayal is a Dish Best Served Obediently: (Dollification, tech-control, objectification, betrayal) - Rae discovers what has become of her friend after betraying her to the Dolls.
Bimbo Chip: (Tech-control, chipped, VR, Bimbofication) - Emma surrenders to the chip in the back of her neck.
Broadcast Control: (Tech-control) - The radio station prepares for a very special test broadcast.
Chasing the Score: (Tech-control, subtle indoctrination, gaming. f/f) - Getting the high score can open you up to all sorts of interesting messaging.
Cock goes in: (m/f, conditioning, hypnosis) - Alex has provided a rather more-ish way to empty out her mind.

Workplace Distraction: (m/f, very short, work place fun) - Who doesn't want to get hypno-triggered like a good little corporate drone?
Slice of Life Flash Fiction (New): Sexier, flirty, happy go-lucky slice of flash fiction which don't always line up with the mind control stuffs. I'm including this because sometimes you just want to explore cute and playful relationships. Kink positive. Tends to be a tad... sapphic. Wait, no, there's one straight slice of goodness!

Pulling Her String: Some concepts are just very well earned.
The Gay Agenda: The never ending fight between trash T.V, and a Mistress needing help in the kitchen.

most major high fashion brands were made by men but little boys are yelled at if they play fashion games and men that go into fashion are seen as effeminate. trans women are men unless they get assaulted and then it's "well you wanted to be treated like a woman, didn't you? 😂". step-family porn is one of the most searched genres of pornography but every man wants to vote for the right-wingers or the fascists because "they're the only party that cares about family values". a woman's place is beneath her husband's. fathers are the fun ones and mothers are the cold bitches. trad-wives with millions of instagram followers are the iceberg's tip of women that live that lifestyle, and no one cares about them. women in the office are not as assertive, not as domineering, not as gung-ho as their male coworkers. women have to wear makeup and heels and get all the non-head hair ripped off their bodies every week. women cannot under any circumstances cry or show any negative emotion in public. female fascists and right-wing politicians are girlbosses breaking the mold while female activists are randoms that want their five minutes of fame. every man thinks they know better than a woman about her own health and safety. fake tits and fake lips and a fake ass, but men like them all-natural. women want reverse sexism. women hate men. no abortions, ever. no saying no, ever. lie down under his feet. roll over like the good bitch you have to be. be good. be good.

Any Demeter headcanons??
of course!! demeter is intimately woven into the fabric of my cats continuation
her backstory is pretty grim and sad, and I'm gonna reference issues like abandonment, animal neglect, and relationship toxicity and abuse (i.e., manipulation, false imprisonment) so beware if you're sensitive to such things.
I think Demeter was born to a feral alley cat in one of the more troubled areas of London. mom, like many unsocialized and neglected feral cats, is in poor health. a trash man happened to find the inchoate family and kindly took them in, off the cold and wet cobblestone --- he took care of the kittens for a while and then tried his best to find homes for them. ultimately, Demeter was given to a friend of his, a man with a wife and a couple young kids. being separated from her mother and siblings was difficult for Demeter in particular, who deeply valued closeness and touch, and had constantly been in search of tactile interactions with her littermates.
unfortunately, the home she ended up in just wasn't right for her. the humans cared for her adequately and gave her a collar, but there were already pets that had been living with them --- and, unfortunately, they did not take kindly to Demeter's attempts at soliciting tactile comfort. the human children were loud and unpredictable, not very suited to cuddling themselves. the adults were kind enough, but had their hands full between work, family, and pets, and so they didn't have much wherewithal to devote to baby Demeter's specific emotional needs.
not long after being homed, the adult human male seemingly "disappeared," and the animals (especially Demeter, the newest addition, and seemingly more "independent" than the dogs...because she's a cat, right??) could enjoy even less nurturing now that the adult human female no longer had her partner. she and the children would leave the house for hours every day, and Demeter often found herself alone with the dogs.
desperate for comfort, she began exiting the house through the doggy doors. At first, she gravitated naturally towards the alley where she had been born, wanting to find the kind garbage man again. alone and naive and young, she struggled with adjusting to her indoor/(mostly)outdoor lifestyle. she didn't know how to approach stranger cats. she'd stumble into cliques and colonies, only to get rejected or ostracized. of course it wasn't ALL bad; Demeter managed to stumble across some friendly cats --- but none that could or would provide the constancy she didn't fully realize she craved.
this all took place and went on for the course of about a year or so, and culminated in when she eventually ran into a very tall, very alluring, and very persuasive older cat. his effect on her was immediate; it was like he knew exactly what she had been craving for so long --- physical touch, gentleness, patience, a warm smile, a quiet, soothing voice. she returned to him with increasing frequency. one thing led to another and it wasn't along before her voluntary attachment to him turned into something grimmer; he began not allowing her to leave when she wanted. she started seeing different sides of him; angry, domineering, threatening behaviors surfaced. Demeter, of course, became so desperately confused. but just when she started to pull away --- Macavity escalated his association with her to fullblown captivity and brought her to his 'lair' or whatever you'd call it. a textbook manipulator, his behavior was erratic while he pulled out every crushed-velvet platitude; we were meant to be together, I can't live without you, nobody understands you like I do, I'm the only one who can take care of you, you'll never find someone who loves you like I do, etc. etc. etc. Macavity was the first one who ever seemingly supplied her with the physical affection she had craved since kittenhood, and she knew little else...maybe he was right, and maybe leaving one horrible circumstance would send her careening back into another: into pitch dark isolation and loneliness. was it better to be held and hurt, than to never be held at all?
when she's brought to Macavity's layer is when her story zippers into those of Tugger's, Grizabella's, and Bombalurina's. suffice to say --- Tugger and Bomb, separately, displayed a sort of respect and restraint that she had never known, in a way that was totally different from the way Macavity treated her when their relationship began. Tugger was rough around the edges, as only the younger brother of Macavity could be...but, his eyes and his mannerisms and his scent and even his aura...it was all just so different. he wouldn't capitalize on Demeter's vulnerabilities and insecurities the way Macavity would, even when the latter would encourage him to. he never showed any sign of wanting or expecting anything from her. and yet, he showed every other sign of egoism, of self-motivation, of unsettling grandiosity...Demeter just didn't know what to make of him. but she began to glean that despite all that...he would never hurt her.
Bombalurina was something else entirely. She was Macavity's most constant and most salacious partner. Demeter expected the typical ilk of her previous interactions with stranger cats; harshness, caginess, competitiveness, judgment. but, Bombalurina was none of those things, not to her. instead...she was gentle, soothing, welcoming, and seemingly so...genuine. Demeter saw something in Bombalurina's eyes that she literally had never seen before in any other cat; undistilled, unangled, unadulterated affection. when Bombalurina touched Demeter --- at first, a paw on her arm, featherlight and tentative --- it felt so warm, so real. almost like it was too good to be true.
by now, Demeter's disposition towards physical touch had been cruelly ratcheted backwards. she'd always crave it, but had grown to rue it, to doubt it, to associate the initial relief with inevitable betrayal and pain. slowly and steadily, her friendship with Bombalurina began to reverse that paradigm. Demeter would get away from Macavity only to look forward to the next time she'd get to be in the same room with Bombalurina, who knew and respected her boundaries. if Demeter wanted to fall asleep cuddling her, Bombalurina would indulge that desire. if she didn't want to be touched at all, Bombalurina wouldn't touch her. it felt so strange being...listened to and respected like that.
another of Macavity's perrennial partners was someone who was just as alluring and compelling as him, but she was a little older, and she was ethereally beautiful. Demeter only caught glimpsed of her though; she seemed to enjoy more independence than a lot of the other cats wound up in Macavity's syndicate.
She wasn't a prisoner of Macavity's for terribly long before that eccentric little brother of his approached her one night, beseeching her to make a run for it with him. she was confounded by the sudden development and was almost sure it was a trick; but she had been wanting some semblance of freedom so ardently...what did she really have to lose?
ultimately, it was Bombalurina who helped Tugger and Demeter get away from Macavity's patrolling henchcats...and Demeter was pleasantly shocked, and relieved, when her one true friend ultimately decided to join them. Demeter had seen how Bombalurina and Macavity were with each other; she was certain that Bomb loved him. but she had chosen Demeter over him? was their connection really so poignant?
back on the streets, neither Bombalurina nor Demeter had a clear idea of where to go or what to do. but before Demeter had time to suppose that she'd be wandering the alleyways of London again, aimless if not on the run from Macavity, Tugger told them that he "knew a place" where the three of them could go for refuge and be truly safe. Demeter, as always, was doubtful and afraid. maybe this was just another trick. maybe whereever Tugger would take them would be somehow worse. Bombalurina apparently had her reservations too; but she seemed willing to go along with Tugger, evidently calculating no superior alternatives. and because Bombalurina seemed to trust him just enough, so too did Demeter.
they took a trip a few miles north, away from the water, to a junkyard off a commercial block ablaze with lights and song and dance...and Demeter finally learned about the felinological allegiances and the Jellicle oaths. she might always be skittish, distrustful...but if it didn't feel so right to be called a Jellicle Cat!
At the junkyard too, Demeter would realize that she recognized one of its frequenters --- the same glamorous, beautiful cat that occasioned Macavity's lair. the two developed something of a friendship, or more like an unspoken air of solidarity, a mutual understanding that was seldom elucidated on but understood. Demeter wasn't too sure about this Glamour Cat...this Grizabella...but something about her felt comforting. when she eventually left on bad terms...Demeter felt more heartbroken than she'd ever let on without fully knowing why; it wasn't the least because, however, she made the decision to pledge her allegiance to Macavity. when she returned all that time later, and Demeter could see the way she deteriorated...Demeter looked at her and saw something like a version of herself that would have materialized if she hadn't gotten away.
Demeter, up to the events of the musical (and onward) never fully shed the corrosive aftereffects of her past. she's one of the flightier Jellicles; venturing out when she becomes overwhelmed, when the junkyard communes with other colonies, when someone says or does something that sets her on edge. she sometimes takes the trip back to her humans' house, still wanting to check on them and get the occasional passive head scratch, and indulge in the kibble they offer her. she always, eventually, finds her way back home to the junkyard.
she still misses the garbage man. maybe she'll happen to see him again one day?

Behold, a creetchur
Meet Stecoteuthops stictis, the "spotted standing squid-face". It's one of the most important creatures for my in-the-works Spec project. Basically the premise is that many years in the future, humanity colonized a distant desert planet (Spero) with the intent on terraforming it to become a new colony. However, something went horribly wrong, and humanity was wiped out, leaving behind only the livestock and crops they brought with them. This transitional form lives about 60 million years post-cataclysm and is a descendant of the Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius).
Stecoteuthops is part of a particularly successful radiation of camels which possess subcutaneous osteoderms for defense against predators. In this genus, the osteoderms along the midline of the back have formed tall struts which support a decorative sail of skin. This sail is used for display and also to break up its outline in its woodland home, helping the animal to hide from predators; males have much taller sails than females.
This animal is most similar in form and function to the ancient stem-camel Anoplotherium, possessing a muscular, elongated tail which is used to support the body while browsing. Their pincer-like forelimbs can be used to grasp branches and pull them down to access fresh fruits and tender new leaves. They are obligate herbivores, and fruit forms over 70% of their diet - their dextrous, almost tentacular lips are used to grasp and manipulate ripe fruit, and are lined with cornified papillae to ensure a firm grip. Their fur is greenish-blue, the result of a novel pigment derived from Biliverdin which evolved near the very base of the camel radiation, shortly after colonization.
Stecoteuthops is important to this world because it represents a transitional form between large, ground-dwelling camels and smaller, arboreal forms. Although Stecoteuthops itself does not climb, its grasping feet, small size, and muscular tail are all preadaptations for arboreality, and its descendants will clamber about the canopy in search of fresh fruit. It is this lifestyle which will enable the camels to survive the coming mass extinction, priming them to diversify into one of the dominant clades on the planet Spero.

Kim Min Gyu
Mingyu (Seventeen)
DOB: 06.04.1997 Blood Type: B MBTI: ENFJ Sun Sign: Aries Chinese Sign: Fire Ox Life Path Number: 9
Spread: Ideal Partner
Deck: Tarot of the Divine
Body - 8 of Coins
Mingyu’s perfect match is likely someone hard working and focused on their career. Their appearance follows that and they are likely to follow a strict and highly efficient healthy lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be overly complicated or time consuming, they probably don’t spend hours in the gym or counting calories but they developed a routine that keeps them fit and healthy. They are seldomly sick, they can work 24/7 when the situation calls for it and they might have considerable strength while keeping that slightly ‘geeky’ look.
Heart - VII The Chariot
Mingyu’s ideal partner is a warrior at heart. They are not afraid of any challenge and face them head on. They are likely to have their goal and plans on how to achieve them and they are hard to distract when they concentrate on a task. They might have control issues a little bit, might try to assert their dominance over others. They are likely to truly hate slow tempo or setbacks and delays. They move fast and run over obstacles like a tank sometimes.
Spirit - Queen of Wands
Mingyu’s ideal match is a true queen of the prom (regardless of them being male or female or other). They are charismatic, lively, fun and full of energy. They can really put a spell on people around them and make them listen to them. They are likely to be popular among colleagues, friends and people in general. They radiate brightness and good energy, they are warm and kind to people who need their care and support. However, they are no mother goose types, they don’t spoil anyone and will be the ones to push their close ones to become the better versions of themselves rather than keeping them in a golden cage.
Soul - XII The Hanged Man
Deep down in their soul, Mingyu’s ideal lover is someone who thrives on change and constant shifting. They like to constantly learn and challenge their mental abilities. They have that thirst for knowledge and unknown only some have in them. They are deeply practical but at the same time they might lean towards more alternative subjects like astrology or spiritual teachings. They simply need to explore and push boundaries and keep their brilliant minds occupied with great questions.
Time - 9 of Cups
Mingyu is likely to be struck as if by lightning when he meets his destined soulmate one day. It is likely to bring him to his knees out of pure bliss. While it might seem like an act of the divine, Mingyu is actually the orchestrator of his destiny and it’s likely for him to actively search for or manifest this meeting with his perfect match.

So finally my Slapper revealed her new Facial look last night that's now dominated by her new lips after receiving lip filler last week. You the voters voted for Slapper to Recieve this transformation even though I personally think they look silly and ridiculous on girls. What Does Slapper think about gorls with lip filler and the thought that she may have to get lip filler depending on the vote. Well I won't tell you what she said about it all but why don't you ask her. (Very sore talking point) Personally they look like big slugs on lips and just a personal thing Bimbo comes to mind.
Anyway you should follow my girl Slapper who is my male to female street worker (With her new lips she's going to give joy to alot of men now 😆 shouldn't laugh really) So follow her journey from 30 years Skinhead male to become my Roxanne Slapper. Just Type in tumblr search boynamedroxy or press the link below and give her a follow on her new account

False-head type monsters are a favourite of mine, so a quick sketch for one such concept. The hood is bigger than depicted. - KOBADRA Title - Dragontail snake Monster class - Snake wyvern Known locales - Fringes of volcanic regions, miasmic zones Element/ailment - Confusion + Dragon Elemental weakness - Ice (3), Dragon (3), Water (2), Thunder (1), Fire (0) Ailment weakness - Poison (2), Stun (1), Blast (1), Paralysis (1), Sleep (1) Kobadra is a snake wyvern that is usually found on the fringes of volcanic regions, uniquely adapted to deal with toxic gases and zones of miasmic residue. As its title suggests, Kobadra is distinguished by the false head upon its tail that resembles a dragon's maw. The black-purple scales and iridescent hood of the snake wyvern are oddly beautiful, but it appears truly intimidating to most other monsters with its false dragon head. Kobadra is a scavenger whose strategy revolves around scaring other monsters away from their kills. The snake wyvern meticulously searches for other carnivores to steal from, supplementing its diet with dragonfell berries or minerals forced upwards by subterranean activity. Kobadra very rarely hunts directly, and even then only small monsters it can easily overpower. This opportunist lifestyle actually makes Kobadra quite dangerous to humans, as it may perceive them as easy meals. Fortunately, the snake wyvern can be deterred from attack by use of flash or sonic bombs, convincing it that humans are too troublesome to prey on. The key to Kobadra's imposing reputation is the combination of its false dragon head and the iridescent membrane of its hood. The snake wyvern confronts other monsters with both, disorientating rivals and victims alike by alternating attack patterns. The false head is heavy, effective as a cudgel, and specialised ports on its tip emit dragon energy in burning clouds. The hood can display luminescent patterns, disorientating observers and invoking Confusion. Enemies attempt to attack the tail may be met by a surprise attack from its fangs and claws. In turn, should they focus on Kobadra's head, they can be caught out by blows and blasts of the false dragon. Researchers have not yet determined how Kobadra employs dragon energy without exhibiting the same aggression as the like of Deviljho or Ebony Odogaron; it is believed the quality of its energy is less powerful, or its supplements of dragonfell berries and minerals help maintain its coherence. Surprisingly, given dragon-element monsters are usually fiercely territorial, Kobadra is cordial towards its own kind. Females (distinguished by their greater size and bolder colours) establish territories where dragonfell berries and minerals are abundant, which they share with several males; territorial disputes with other females are settled by display, not violence. Throughout most of her life, the dominant female produces only sons, who leave for new grounds when mature. Past a certain point in age, the female then produces daughters, who compete to succeed their mother and oust their siblings and fathers, forming a fresh clan with new arriving males. Kobadra is a respectably powerful monster wherever it lurks (Low Rank - 4, High/Master Rank - 3) and challenges hunters to test their cunning. Hunters must avoid fixating on one end of the snake wyvern lest they be baited into a surprise attack from the other. The use of traps is advised, temporarily stymying the snake wyvern's movement and making it vulnerable to attack. As Kobadra will come to their own kind's aid, hunters must be sure to isolate the target from its clan.
Its skill in intimidation and confusion means Kobadra usually deters attack from stronger carnivores or aggressive herbivores. It has few natural enemies beyond elder dragons, even if it is not necessarily as strong as the likes of Rathalos. However, Kobadra does have a nemesis in the form of Zykitin Cerra, a powerful neopteran who covets the snake wyvern's dragonfell berries. Zykitin Cerra is resistant to dragon energy and not easily fooled by displays, making it well-suited to overpowering the snake wyvern. - Thank you for reading and take care.

Finding Love: The First Test (teaser) from Artvamp on Vimeo.
Director/Producer Viola Voltairine shares rough cuts of clips from the movie.
For more info: artvamp.com/femdomfilm
To back the film: gogetfunding.com/finding-love/
I was beginning to teach a class on Female Led Relationships online, because I had had a lot of experience with FemDom and was getting more deeply involved with my own slaves to the point where I knew this was what I wanted in my life. Not as a career, but as a way of being. So I was searching for books written by other women on the topic to share with my students as examples of the pinnacle of such a relationship. Real life relationships where a man has surrendered completely to his partner and her needs, her desires.
I picked up Finding Love Through Female Domination by Renee Lane and this is the scene that just hit me. It was like a spark of vision! As a filmmaker, I could see the cinematic potential right off the bat! This book seemed like The Secretary but with the gender dynamic reversed. And that’s exactly the world I wanted to share with an audience.
So many movies are about the lives of Professional Dommes. But what about this Dominant, sexually fluid woman who just decides she likes having a handsome successful man under her heel? Just because that’s her thing. And he also loves it and craves more, and through it they find this bizarre beautiful kind of intimacy and loyalty to each other that rivals all the most literary of love stories.
As far as I know nothing like it has ever been made, and with this being such a big part of my life, I had to contact Renee and I had to make this movie!
Movies aren’t just entertainment. Movies move minds. They give people ideas, they inspire life changes and new interests. And I can just imagine this giving women and men and couples license to explore something that might have seemed a little too taboo for them. Of course, they may not take things as far as Renee takes things with Butler. But maybe they’ll dip their toes in the water. The common wisdom is that there are a lot more submissive men than Dominant women. But what if, women up til now have just seen this as the kind of thing that sex workers do. Maybe they never considered that they could have a man that they love dearly serve their every whim... and play and explore in these new ways that defy the gender norms and expand their sexuality. To center their pleasure.
My hope is to find investors to finish the movie all at once. But for as long as people continue to contribute I will keep shooting more scenes. For every $20K or so I raise I can do one simple scene like this one. And if it needs to be an episodic series of excerpts from the book, that’s how I’ll create it. If you want to make this movie happen with me, keep contributing online, or if you’re able to invest ask me for the investor packet. I’m determined to keep going with this project whatever the case may be because it’s really important to me. Renee has become a friend and comrade in the cause of bringing more people into a lifestyle we both find really meaningful.
And I just want to take a moment to thank all the contributors who made this first shoot possible as well as the amazing, resilient cast and crew who braved a pandemic to make this happen! Everyone on set worked so hard even as we dragged into the wee hours of the morning to get those last few shots, without complaint. There was such warmth on the set even as we froze our asses off. I could not have asked for better! Thank you! And let’s keep this going!

"Larry and the Long Look for a Luscious Lover" is an unconventional and often overlooked game for the NES console that features the misadventures of Larry as he navigates a world filled with potential romantic encounters. This game presents an interesting case for philosophical exploration, especially when considering themes such as desire, objectification, and the quest for fulfillment through others. Through the lenses of philosophers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Michel Foucault, Simone de Beauvoir, and Jacques Lacan, we can delve into an in-depth analysis of the game’s darker and more complex underpinnings.
1. Kierkegaard and the Aesthetic Stage of Life: Søren Kierkegaard's concept of the "aesthetic stage" of human existence is a useful starting point for examining Larry's pursuits. In this stage, a person is driven by sensual pleasures and immediate gratification without deeper ethical or spiritual considerations. Larry's endless pursuit of romantic conquests can be seen as emblematic of this existential phase, where superficial interactions and the pursuit of pleasure dominate his existence. This raises questions about the meaning and sustainability of such a lifestyle, reflecting Kierkegaard’s critique of living purely for aesthetic satisfaction without advancing to deeper levels of ethical and religious life.
2. Foucault and the Power Dynamics of Sexuality: Michel Foucault's analysis of power and sexuality offers a critical framework for understanding the interactions in "Larry and the Long Look for a Luscious Lover." Foucault argued that power is omnipresent in all human relationships and is especially pronounced in how societies regulate and discuss sex. Larry’s escapades can be examined through the lens of how power dynamics are negotiated and expressed through sexual relationships, with Larry often navigating scenarios that reflect the complex interplay of power, desire, and societal norms.
3. Simone de Beauvoir and the Other: Simone de Beauvoir’s feminist philosophy, particularly her discussions on women as the "Other," provides a critical perspective on how female characters are portrayed in the game. Beauvoir highlighted how women have historically been defined as the "Other" in a male-centric society, which is evident in how the game objectifies women as mere objects of Larry’s desire. This perspective invites a critique of the game’s representation of women and challenges players to consider the ethical implications of such depictions.
4. Jacques Lacan and the Mirror Stage: Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, especially his concept of the "mirror stage," can be applied to Larry’s quest for identity through romantic conquests. According to Lacan, the mirror stage involves the formation of the ego through the process of identification with one's own image, which leads to a lifelong pursuit for a return to this idealized self. Larry’s interactions can be seen as a continuous search for validation and identity affirmation through the others he seeks to charm and win over, reflecting a deeper psychological quest that extends beyond mere physical or romantic satisfaction.
In conclusion, "Larry and the Long Look for a Luscious Lover" serves not only as an entertainment medium but also as a complex narrative ripe for philosophical inquiry. By applying the theories of Kierkegaard, Foucault, Beauvoir, and Lacan, we uncover the deeper existential, ethical, and psychological themes underlying Larry’s seemingly frivolous adventures. This analysis not only enriches our understanding of the game but also invites players and critics alike to reflect on the broader implications of the themes presented within the context of 1980s video game culture and its legacy in shaping perceptions of desire, identity, and interpersonal dynamics.

We have a returning citizen in Mount Phoenix:
Tsukiyomi, the Japanese God of the Moon. He is the owner of Böljande.
FC NAME/GROUP: Kim Sunggyu / INFINITE GOD NAME: Tsukuyomi (with a U) PANTHEON: Japanese OCCUPATION: Owner of BÖLJANDE DEFINING FEATURES: Dusty silver hair, and dark grey irises beneath single-lidded slits that glow softly under the moonlight.
PERSONALITY: Tsukuyomi is a stickler for order and etiquette, and would do anything to enforce his beliefs. Ironically, his strict adherence to etiquette also meant he was willing to break it to enforce it; this was only one of his many ironies. Graceful and subdued when calm, he practices his beliefs thoroughly, sticking to personal and social routines that are meaningful to him, and abides by tradition when need be, no matter how times have changed in the modern ages.
Originally born genderless, he possesses a neutral beauty and serenity that is exuded in every step he takes, and every word he utters. While aged Japanese culture may explicitly outline the appropriate and exclusive attributes of males and females, he isn’t afraid to embody both, and finds power even in subservience, and solitude while dominant.
HISTORY: The legend of Izanagi’s misogi, or purification, after his ascend from the underworld speaks of the “Three Noble Children” born amongst many others during the process. The second of the three born from Izanagi’s right eye, Tsukuyomi was loyal to his elder sister and wife Amaterasu as consort-king of the heavens after the investiture of the three siblings as rulers of their own realms.
Yet when all had seem to be at peace, Tsukuyomi caught wind of the close relations between his wife and Uke Mochi, the goddess of food, and the possibility of the latter eyeing his sister’s throne. Although unproven, he became increasingly troubled by this rumor, only fueled by subordinates and lesser deities who wished to break himself and his wife apart.
Coincidentally, Amaterasu was invited to Uke Mochi’s great feast. Unable to attend herself, she sent Tsukuyomi to go in her place, and he did, prepared to investigate for himself the legitimacy of the rumor. Given the disgusting way she had prepared his meal - by regurgitating everything, he was irritated enough as it was. The delicacies that appeared before him despite the way they were prepared angered him even further, and he could swear he saw a smug grin as she served her creations to him. With a wave of his sword he beheaded her, and as she spat her last breath, the grin remained on her features with a glossy look of horror locked forever in her lifeless gaze.
Of course, Amaterasu was furious to the point beyond reason. With a sharp burst of her solar energy, she blinded him, and left him in the dark for the rest of eternity. No matter how hard he tried to chase after her, day and night never once reunited again; even during solar eclipses, she would run away from him.
This was how he spent the next several millennia, aimlessly searching for her during the day and lending powers from the moon to regain his vision at night. Gradually, he became lost in his purpose, and could not accept the fact that he had dedicated his life to who was once his Queen, the one who had abandoned him for an inferior goddess whom she did not know had ulterior motives.
With hopes of changing to a more relaxed, self-prioritizing lifestyle, he made his way to Mount Phoenix, where he knew other gods from other pantheons have also gathered. He told himself that he wasn’t here to track her down, yet perhaps he was expecting to have to face her, and find closure once and for all.
POWERS:
Pure, Esoteric and Dark Moon Generation and Manipulation - Tsukuyomi can generate and manipulate the pure and positive aspects of lunar energy; this represents the sustaining and preserving side of the moon. However, he can also do the same with esoteric and dark sides of the lunar forces, which include magical, mythical abilities of the moon, as well as energy of a darker, detrimental nature. As Tsukuyomi does not identify as “good” nor “evil”, the possession of the power to control all these lunar energies will prove to be useful to him in all circumstances he may encounter.
Night Vision - blinded by divine solar energy, he cannot restore his vision fully, even by manipulating the strongest lunar energy. However, he can see at night, his vision the strongest when full moon comes, and vice versa. Colors and shadows appear different under the moonlight, and the dimmed, dark shade of everything is the full extent of his visual capabilities.
STRENGTHS: Possesses an eye for beauty, extremely intelligent and well-read, enhanced senses due to lack of vision WEAKNESSES: Easily triggered by the breaking of his rules, lacks desire to "have fun" and feel "happy", assumes the worst in everyone and every situation

ACCESS MUSCLE Scott Welch Nautilus Arthur Jones Alex Ardenti documentary Watch the complete 98 minute documentary on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/ondemand/accessmuscle/ or PRIME VIDEO https://tinyurl.com/ycxend24 I am very happy to announce the release of the first installment of ACCESS MUSCLE titled "The Gym Culture" This is the first of 8 documentary films I am producing on this industry that I love so much. The concept for this first film is this: What really makes the modern gym a meeting place for today’s health minded individuals? This tangible “gym culture” has evolved from mustached strongmen in the1900s to environments of serious exercise where biceps are built and pounds are shed. We go beyond barbells... all with a heavy portion of fitness history. I'm also filming the following films contemporaneously: 2-Female Fitness The hard road to equality on the gym floor From being banned from all male dominated sports activities and gymnasiums of old to revolutionizing the fitness industry in all it’s aspects female fitness enthusiasts have arguably re-invented the industry from scratch. Meet the female CEOs of health and fitness companies, elite athletes and everyday women who have embraced the fitness lifestyle. Resistance training in all of it’s forms is now an integral part of most women’s fitness regimen... but it certainly wasn’t always that way. 3-Personal Trainers Miracle workers, gurus or therapists? Jack LaLanne may have been our first trainer to bring dumbbells and push-ups to TV audiences but social media certainly has created a new breed of “experts” selling all kinds of programs. What are the differences between a certified one on one coach and an Instagram trainer in the new millennium? Let’s look at both sides of the argument on this topic. 4-Food Of The Gods Not exactly the food pyramid Most of us are happy if our new diet makes us loose a few pounds for summer. But what if your whole career and livelihood actually depended on your food intake? World class fitness athletes search for the ideal diet to improve performance and achieve the perfect physique. Vegan VS Carnivore, High Carb VS Paleo… ideologies clash while science keeps discovering new ways nutrition affects our bodies. 5-Muscle Mags Beyond comic book heroes In a time when digital media was mere science fiction, fitness publications on our local newsstand were the only source of information if you wanted to create a better body. Let’s rediscover the epic battles between publishers Joe Weider, Bob Hoffman and Dan Lurie and how Weider’s Muscle Builder magazine became the world’s first mass-media outlet that launched the whole fitness revolution across the globe. Your welcome Jane Fonda. 6- SUPPS 2.0 The new age of sports supplements Alex Ardenti chronicled the origin and evolution of the $40 Billion sports supplement industry in the documentary SUPPS: The Movie. https://tinyurl.com/ybrcm93k Now let’s discover the new giant brands that are using social media as their key platform. With thousands of products purchased every day through Instagram posts how do we know what is a quality product and what is merely snake oil peddled by our favorite influencer? 7- Stage Muscle Ready… set… flex! If you ever felt the thrill of having the best little bicep compared to the other kids on the block imagine what it would feel like to be crowned the best bodybuilder in the world? What do elite competitive bodybuilders have to go through to achieve such an extraordinary physique and why bigger isn’t better anymore in 2020. With a clear return to the classic physiques like Steve Reeves and Frank Zane modern bodybuilding is rediscovering the original aesthetic version of itself. Where did bodybuilding go wrong and how it’s re-inventing itself. Let’s start by taking a trip back to see how it all began in those crazy 1960s. 8- Flexing Or Function? When two tribes go to war Functional fitness exploded on the scene just a few years ago positioning itself as a new stand-alone sport. Yet it’s origins start with Olympic Weightlifting and Kettlebells from the 1800s. With the initial conflict between CrossFit type training and the Pumping Iron gym-rat rapidly simmering down we discover the clear differences between the two sports and find a common ground. I hope you stay with me through this labor of love and I will update info as we continue. Don't forget the bio-doc Frank Zane Defined filming now also! https://www.alexardenti.com

i've been watching a LOT of nature documentaries, particularly anything related to primates because they've been a major interest to me as of late. i've watched a few centred around the hamadryas baboon and i have some questions that i hope aren't too complex.
why are they like that?? particularly the males. i haven't gotten around to learning about every species, but they seem to be the most extremely aggressive group so far. but what i really mean is, is there any actual reason they behave in such a way? they are very cruel to females and babies and seem to be outright vicious. are they just like that with no actual reason/answer?
sorry if this is difficult but while their behaviours and practices freak me out, i also find myself very interested in them. i hope to learn more about them beyond film documentaries.
Reminder that when we observe animals, we must move away from our own culture and values and instead view the animals objectively. Viewing their behavior as 'cruel' and 'vicious' is blocking you from actually seeing the behavior. Empathy can be valuable for humans; we see something scary or harmful and we become fearful and don't want to see suffering. But baboons live their lives differently and while their ways may seem shocking and harsh to us, our ways may seem unorganized and bad for survival to baboons.
I love hamadrayas baboons and wonder where you have seen this behavior that troubles you. Hamadrays baboons are often attentive parents and protect his troop. If you've seen chasing, striking, or food guarding behaviors; that's his job as leader. He must teach the youngsters their role in the group, protect his right to the largest share of food, and mitigate conflict in the troop. Squabbles will be settled by chasing or physical means but that doesn't mean the baboon is being vicious.
Hamadrayas baboons are the only baboon species that live in Single Male Units. The male must maintain order in the troop, ward off predators or challengers, and comfort the troop as well. Social grooming is extremely important for building relationships. Teeth-chattering and lip-smacking are considered reassurance behaviors, and are usually performed by dominant males as a sign of comfort. Dominant males may also produce a two-phase bark to ward of predators and other male baboons.
The male mates with the females of the troop, and they in turn spend their time grooming him. The lifestyle of the baboons includes a patriarchal power system: the male keeps the group in check, protects the females, and would not benefit from harming the females of his troop. Females can and do leave their male in search for a different troop if she isn't satisfied with him as a leader.
Offspring are protected by both parents and the male can often be seen playing with the young and giving them a great deal of attention. Other baboons may attempt to kidnap the young, so the male will be invested in protecting, not harming, the offspring. He will use physical means of discipline to ensure the youngsters have proper social skills and an understanding of baboon body language. A youngster who isn't socially competent may accidentally find themselves in a very serious fight so it's important they understand troop dynamics at a young age.
Hopefully, this helps you understand hamadrayas baboon behaviors a little better. Next time you see an animal behave in a way that shocks you, think about how that behavior may benefit the survival of the individual or troop. Many primates act in ways humans find alarming. We tend to view them as Human-Lite and apply our morals to their behaviors, which benefits no one and reduces our understanding of our primate cousins.

Aries Rahu - Libra Ketu Transit: a new cycle begins
Aries/Mesh represents 1H, sunrise, the birth, the body & self.
Libra/Tula represents 7H, sunset, death, other people, mirror reflection of self
꧁ Obsession with body, health & fitness ꧂
Great time to change diet, introduce a new gym routine, getting into martial arts & dancing.
Great time to educate ourselves on health & nutrition.
Specially Ashwini Ketu would be a time for miraculous/fast healing. I think we all need some healing after a pandemic.
There could be a tendency to over rationalize healthy vs unhealthy. Getting obsessed with creating a healthy lifestyle aesthetic instead of doing the work.
Sign of Aries relates to the female reproductive organ specially Bharani being symbolized by Yoni itself. Reproductive rights under attack might be due to this transit indicated by the Bharani eclipse. That is forcing people to fight for Women's rights.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e83fe78ab6aae90ee8dd9ee508f5e6f0/9be94a11b1876831-3f/s540x810/4be7c983d122bc61b5f11229c7ed21a60f8e740f.jpg)
This is a great time to be more mindful of our reproductive health & heal your cycle. More awareness & debate around this topic can be seen.
Many people would be tempted to go under the knife to reduce some parts of themselves during Aries Rahu. Especially during Krittika Rahu 🔥💉
Don't get carried away though, decision taken under nodal influence often brings regret.
Be careful of cuts, bruises & accidents during this time. Mars rules over these things.
Many people would change up their appearance, especially experiment with hairstyles & color. As Rahu is the head of the dragon, people would prefer martian red color hair.
On a positive note, many of us are going to experience a shrug of new energy, enthusiasm and a go-getter attitude.
꧁ Relationship & Marriage ꧂
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1f50d17f834b588cc2e4eb98014c42f1/9be94a11b1876831-49/s500x750/4037cd4f86bcf3f46818390f74a8ec9cd7b3c83f.jpg)
Only relationships built on a solid foundation will survive & thrive during this transit. Anything swept under the rug would resurface & relationships would go through a purification process. Ketu would separate us from illusions built around relationships, all the idealization & rose-tinted glasses would come off & you’d see the other person for who they actually are.
Many celebrity marriages falling apart & people witnessing it live could be due to Libra Ketu. As Ketu rules separation & Libra rules marriage.
More people would get married during this time & some would finally realize marriage/romantic love isn’t their cup of tea.
꧁ Lack of communal harmony & violence ꧂
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f52e624727a2e0402dde6eaa6f832600/9be94a11b1876831-1b/s540x810/75581845a3c0d2d9df07f0782e25f64cd30deccb.jpg)
Libra Ketu would make many people detached from 'other people' & lack a sense of community. This can result in war & violence (Aries Rahu) among different communities or even within the same community. Many people are going to act more selfish & not ready to listen to a different perspective. Me vs them mentality would be overly dominant during this Aries-Libra transit.
I think we're already seeing this in form of the Ukrain-Russia War, Hindu-Muslim Danga etc. Political violence would be prominent during these times.
Public is going to act more hot-headed than usual. Be careful not to mess with the wrong people. Don’t f*ck around if you don't wish to find out 😂
On another note, Libra Ketu is a great time for cults & communes to thrive. People are going to desperately search for a place to belong, a sense of community. Be careful not to get brainwashed into a cult. Internet mob culture would be getting stronger.
꧁ Art & Entertainment ꧂
Ketu in Libra is a great time to revisit past artworks / take inspiration from those who came before us. BTS got the assignment & making an album which is a tribute to their journey by far.
This could be a great time for gothic art as well. As both libra & Ketu are very gothic by nature. Libra rules the color Black & Libra natives have a love for gothic aesthetics due to venus association with death.
I think many celebs going for black n white/funeral inspired look on Met Gala is due to libra Ketu. It could've been executed much better.
This can be a great time for period dramas/films. Something that makes us relive the past.
Overall people are going to feel detached from Venusian things like art & entertainment. Not the best time for the entertainment and glamour industry.
Another thing I can see with Libra Ketu is people using astrology, spirituality etc as an 'aesthetic'. Esoteric topics becoming more mainstream. I wrote this before the news about Mcdonald's giving free tarot reading... Totally not excited to see esoteric topics becoming a commodity.
꧁ Market & investment ꧂
Libra rules market place, there’s a possibility of a market crash. I don’t think this is a good time for investments unless your current Dasha is so good it overrules a general transit.
I think NFTs getting stolen is due to Libra Ketu as well. Crypto/NFT etc are very Rahuvian/Libra-ish in nature. So they can get a hit during this transit. { I've written this before the crypto crash further proving my suspicion }
Money related fraud might come to light during this time, so be careful with your black money 😂
Other random thoughts:
MBTI & psychology getting more popular, especially during Bharani Rahu. As Curl Jung & Freud both being Bharani. Although most people would stay on the surface level.
Aries celebs would blow up further & would be the talk of the town like Amber, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Chris Rock etc for better or for the worse spotlight is on Aries folks.
This is a good time for technological advancement & innovation, especially in the power sector. Ref to my Ashwini post.
Not really the best time for the glamour world. Many frauds & deceits coming to light.
Overall this transit is like a karmic reset, a start of a new cycle as Aries is the 1st sign of the Zodiac belt. This transit is going to bring a lot of news & beginnings, let's make the foundation strong so that something beautiful can flourish.

kiwifarms is down
I am, admittedly, not familiar with this. I was checking kiwi farms and found this message, below the cut because it's long.
My thoughts are below the statement. The double standard is interesting. Curious if anyone else is following this and can tell me more.
General Statement
The Kiwi Farms is an online discussion forum about people on the Internet. It is without agenda. If you want to talk about a public figure and their presence online, there is likely space to do so on my website. All I ask of my users is that they keep a cool head, a good sense of humor, and stay strictly within the boundaries of US law.
In the digital era, personal reputation has become a very valuable form of capital. Google, Wikipedia, online news outlets, and other large websites allow a public figure meticulous control over their public perception.
When a community of random anonymous nobodies can setup a forum and talk about a person candidly, where this control does not exist, it creates problems for influential people.
The opponents of this forum lie about its purpose and character. They misrepresent our speech as violence, our information as harassment, and our discussions as stalking.
Google cleans up their search results, the news prints their hit pieces, and Wikipedia canonizes those stories as truth. Instantly, the general public is left with one narrative available to them.
The mob then harass innocent people running unrelated third party services by sending emails in the thousands and threatening their families. This mob claims to be oppressed, when they can summon a hundred thousand dollars out of thin air and bend multi-billion dollar organizations to do what they want.
Meanwhile, our website is down through criminal behavior. Any outlet I use to discuss the ongoing attack is also targeted.
They have tried to justify this behavior with the logic that we "do not respond to anything except fear." What I fear more than losing my site, being sued, or dealing with police is living in a world where fat eunuchs can groom little boys and girls into mutilating their bodies and taking drugs in secret, while normal people are not allowed to even discuss it.
The mob has already planned subsequent targets. Should we stay down, they will then attack 'gender critical' communities - especially those ran by and for women. No place can exist online which allows criticism of their fetishistic lifestyle, and nothing would excite them more than this power and domination struggle being inflicted on a female space instead.
They've made it clear that I and my family will be targeted for abuse and violence regardless of if I keep the site up or let it stay down. I have no reason to do anything but continue forward. Fuck these people.
See you soon, Joshua Moon

While women's spaces and gender critical spaces have already been/are already being targeted (most older receipt posts have had images and links scrubbed via tumblr & wordpress), I think taking down KF is a relief to most of the subjects discussed on there. Getting JK Rowling accepted as a bigot by people unwilling to actually read her essay was a huge win for this cause. Taking people and websites completely off the internet, on the other hand, will be tougher.
Most people don't know what KF is and if this movement is going to get them taken down, and they have to do a take down without drawing an audience there. I know KF were targeted many times. They were targeted after a video game emulator (nobody knows his real name or location) likely faked his suicide and disappeared. These attacks have been apparently sophisticated, and the website is now linking to a former Google employee (a total of four people are listed, all transwomen, who according to evidence posted there, are sending minors controlled substances, what they call "HRT"). These are technologically-savvy individuals who want opinions of them and records of their words and actions taken off the internet.
I was just having a rant about this yesterday. We all have the right to access the same public information and draw our own conclusions. You can't have it both ways. You code and use a tracker that tags internet users and journalists as guilty of wrong-think. You can't demand we all pretend we never saw the things you posted, that you made publicly available of your own free will, and break the law to scrub it from the internet. It's hypocritical and it won't work.
