You'll Never Lose Your Novelty

[idiopath-fic-smile]

If you are still taking Halloween fic requests:

Member of a monster-themed novelty band Grantaire x Actual Vampire Enjolras

oh HELL YEAHHHHHH

i'd apologize for the ensuing silliness but you can probably gather that is a hallmark of the fledgling "monster-themed novelty band x actual literal monster" genre. this is part one; i may write more tomorrow

“Grantaire,” Joly panted, “come quick, it’s a party emergency!”

Grantaire, who might as well have lived inside a glass case labeled BREAK IN CASE OF PARTY EMERGENCY, flipped himself right side up from where he’d been about to attempt a keg stand, and nodded solemnly, clapping his hands together. The blood rushed back to his head in a giddy wave.

“What do you need?” he asked.

Joly nodded at Bossuet to explain as the three of them barreled down the hallway.

“Here’s the thing,” said Bossuet, “we hired a band tonight, but the lead singer got way too high and now he thinks he needs to liberate all the notes from his guitar.”

Grantaire cocked his head to one side. “Does that explain why someone’s spent the past hour loudly and determinedly playing scales?”

“I don’t pretend to understand the inebriate’s mind!” Joly shouted, gesticulating wildly. The effect was slightly undercut by the bottle of gin in his hand.

“Point is,” said Bossuet, still walking at an almost-run, “we already rounded up Eponine and Bahorel. We need you guys to take the stage and salvage what’s left of tonight. C’mon, Bahorel says your sound is really getting there.”

“We’re not a band,” Grantaire insisted. “We’re a support group that keeps getting noise violations. We’ve never even played a gig.” He knew he probably sounded whiny but it had been a long week. His minimum possible math requirement was kicking his ass. “Besides, I had plans for tonight. I was gonna get laid.” Or at least, he was going to do his damnedest. Believe in yourself. Manifest your dreams. No I in team.

Bossuet simultaneously peered at Grantaire and pulled him through a door. “Is that why you’re dressed as…god, I don’t know, what do you call all this?”

“I thought he was an Animorph,” announced Joly. “Like, at a midpoint in the transformation to some kind of hairy animal.”

Grantaire coughed.

“Sorry,” said Joly easily. “A Sexy Mid-Transformation Animorph.”

“Shit, take in some culture once in a while, this is embarrassing,” said Grantaire. He gestured at the wolf ears on his headband, the fur glued to the cuffs of his shirtsleeves, the canine nose he’d drawn over his own with Eponine’s eyeliner pencil, the strategically ripped shirt and jeans. “I’m a Sexy Wolfman,” he said. “Obviously.”

He and Eponine, who had watched Ginger Snaps every day for the past month, had agreed to go as a pair of werewolves, but then Eponine had abandoned their pack of two to go make out with Cosette, which he really should’ve seen coming. He couldn’t even hold it against her; Eponine had been “casually” memorizing Cosette’s general weekly schedule for the past couple of semesters, when she wasn’t watching Cosette moony-eyed from the other side of the Quad. It was all probably very cute.

“Well, Wolfman,” said Bossuet, nudging Grantaire in the direction of the makeshift stage, where Bahorel was taking a seat behind the drums and Eponine was—reluctantly, by the look of it—re-tuning her borrowed bass. “You three have about thirty seconds to think of a band name.”

Grantaire picked up the electric guitar and raised his eyebrows at Eponine, whose lupine makeup was now marred by bright red lip marks, like something from a cartoon. Her own lips were smeared crimson, which was to be expected, but.

“She stopped to kiss you multiple times on the cheek?” he muttered.

“Shut up,” said Eponine, visibly blushing. “How’s your quest for a meaningless hookup?”

Grantaire let out a long breath. “Not even the furries are biting,” he admitted as Eponine snickered.

“Band names, people,” said Bahorel. He adjusted a cymbal. “I don’t have all night.”

“Hello,” Grantaire intoned into the microphone. “We are Not Even the Furries Are Biting! This first song—”

“Gonna kill you and make it look like an accident,” Eponine crooned low in his ear. “The embarrassing kind. Toilet-related.”

The thing was, in their capacity as a very loud sort-of group therapy session, with October 31st on the horizon, they had actually been talking about the appeal of wolves as a metaphor for the parts of oneself that felt wild or lonely or unlovable. To that effect, they’d been toying with a couple songs.

Maybe, thought Grantaire, this would not be a complete and total clusterfuck.

They played “I was a Teenage Werewolf” by The Cramps. They played “I’m The Wolf Man” by Round Robin. They played “Werewolf” by The Frantics. Any time he, Bahorel, or Eponine ran into a snag—a fumbled note, a missed beat, a patch that wasn’t perfectly memorized—Grantaire attempted to cover for them by throwing back his head and wailing, as if he was losing more and more of his grip on his humanity.

They were just finishing the first verse of The Black Keys’ “Howling for You” when Grantaire saw him: a tall, handsome stranger lingering at the back edge of the room, with intense eyes and an even more intense air of stone-cold sobriety. He wasn’t smiling, wasn’t frowning, just—looking. Disapprovingly? Apathetically? Saddled with a bad case of heartburn? It was hard to tell.

The chorus started up, and Grantaire sang along with Eponine and Bahorel:

“Da da da da da, da da da da da da—”

Grantaire grinned as more and more of the crowd joined in—pulled along less by the band’s general prowess or charisma and more by a drunk college student’s inherent love of an easy earworm, but Grantaire wasn’t splitting hairs at this point.

“Da da da da da, da da da da da—”

A sea of bobbing, singing partygoers, and there on the fringes, Offensively Sober Guy stood perfectly still, watching Grantaire so intently that Grantaire almost forgot the words to the refrain.

Or rather, the word.

Or rather, the single repeating syllable.

To Offensively Sober’s left, two guys attempted to clink their beer bottles together and somehow lost their balance, careening into him. He maintained his impeccable posture as if they weren’t even in the room, never breaking his stare. It was honestly a little creepy.

For reasons Grantaire would later not be able to fully reconstruct, he decided the funniest thing to do would be to wink and smirk and generally pretend like Sober was really, really into him.

I'm taking the plunge because why not:

What are some headcanons regarding small, silly things that happened during the 3 year trips on the Golden Yard and Meteor?

oh lets go i love this sort of ask. no meteor crew stuff sorry im kinda tired but

on the prospitian ship:

the crocodiles are never recovering from that shit bro. un-stonks

alchemizing sessions. probably with mundane household devices like toothbrushes or something. patterned toilet paper. davesprite absolutely remakes the sbahjifier for himself but i think he also likes to hand draw them from time to time. also john and jade alchemizing bathing suits and going swimming on lolar and hanging with the turtles. casey can come too. floaties on casey

the sbahj canon diverges. so many sbahj in-jokes exclusive to the prospitian ship. unfortunately the retcon make it so none of this ever happens :(

he’d never say it but davesprite likes it when john and jade fall asleep on him doing whatever, it makes his presence feel wanted and appreciated by the people he sacrificed his self and humanhood for good for. sorry for immediately going into davesprite but good god is he tragic. oh yeah heres more. he’s still part dave and shares the same history with john and jade that alpha timeline dave does. john gave him his shades on his 13th birthday in december 2008, he sent john the con air bunny and jade a physical copy of sbahj as furries in the mail. he is identical to alpha dave in relation to his friends before the timeline splits off. dont forget that 4/13/2009 was also his first time meeting his online friends john and jade in person, even after 4 months chronologically of sburb grinding—nearly a year with all the time shenanigans—and going back to day 1, since john and jade were dead in his timeline

tries not to cry cries anyway but only when he knows theyre asleep. pov when the weight of everything suddenly hits you (you are an emotionally repressed 14 year old)

also because he’s fucking fluffy and absolutely knows it and probably thinks to himself “yeah this is the best possible use for these otherwise pointless breast feathers” and yall already know he craves cloth mother plus probably has nesting instincts

(source)

adding on to that also i think people forget sprites are actually fucking LONG and his wingspan is fucking huge he could be a pillow and a blanket at the same time

i wrote davesprite jade cuddles and john thinking about mushrooms and davesprite thinking about how they contribute to the ecnonony

^ john toked too hard on the lowas mushrooms by accident one time

it feels like pajama parties would be a common occurence just the vibes im getting. literally jade is seen sitting on a pile of squiddles and theres plushies fucking everywhere you know they got up to plushie mayhem. do you think they ever alchemized them. look how lived in that room is they all contributed something

jade resumes gardening :) but theres no sun :( but she alchemizes some plastic plants :D but its not the same :(

canonically the imps in johns house just gave up tormenting him and started hanging out and having snacks on movie night

PENIS!

imagine looking up into the sky and seeing a giant casey the size of a planet sleep. jade resizes stuff for fun like this just to introduce some novelty to their lives

this is something

davesprite has beavis and butthead do america (1996) in his collection somewhere in his apartment on lohac

yall theyre watching johns fuckin spongebob dvd box collection. you KNOW john owns the spongebob squarepants movie (2004). and the best thing is it brings all of them together without any of them objecting. they all love spongebob

when the episode jellyfish jam comes on johns like “wow, pretty much this exact scenario happened to me with the imps.” (arthur flashback sfx)

DAVESPRITE: yeah well you didnt have a giant sound system did you

jade warps dave’s bro’s sound system from lohac and sizes it up. they put on stadium rave and the entire fucking house shakes

[cybertron-smash-or-pass]

you know the transformers fan to objectum pipeline always blows my mind, particularly how short it is

Oh dude absolutely. This series is built for people to speedrun objectumization the same way space jam speed runs the furry pipeline.

Like. You get a whole metric fuckin of series to choose from with incredibly entertaining, distinctive, and well designed characters. There's variety in tone so the net gets cast to a really wide range. Most shows have good character writing so it's super easy to get attached. And since there's a lot of variance in design too, it's not particularly hard to find SOMEONE to be attracted to in robot form.

But you can't really ignore how they turn into vehicles. It's just an intrinsic part of their species, of their character. And it's really easy to go from "oh this is a weird novelty." To "man if I was dating this robot he could give me rides all the time haha" to "wouldnt it be nice to take a little nap in back of his altmode? He could even give me hugs by squeezing the seatbelt <3" to "oh dear god I'm attracted to a truck"

And it goes even further because not only do they turn into vehicles, but they're based off a toyline. It's so easy to get your hands on the figures, and more often than not in the current era of tf, they're built to be media-accurate. They capture the character and all their personality that you've come to love really well. Definitely helps that there's probably a figure for every possible fave you might have, well-known or wildly obscure. If you fantasize about snuggling up with shockwave, holding hands with acidstorm, or giving ratchet a lil forehead kiss, guess what! You can!

There are so many ways Transformers leads to objectum territory it almost feels intentional. Helps that the series has been for the weirdos since the start (like c'mon if they weren't trying to make the robots attractive they wouldn't have had two different bot on human romances in g1 alone), but its still very funny to think about.

[foone]

One of my (many) problems is that there's a lot of things I'm "interested in" where I'm not, exactly. Or if I am, it's less than people think. Lots of rambling about the way I'm interested in things because of my novelty-obsessed brain, under the readmore.

Lemme explain: like vtubers. I talk about them surprisingly often for someone who doesn't really watch any of them. There's a streamer I watch who sometimes vtubes and mostly webcams, and I have watched like two of them because they were playing Outer Wilds... But it's not like I follow any of them regularly, and it's not like I'm specifically into the vtuber community (no offense to any vtubers or their fans, it's just not my thing).

But I talk about vtubing surprisingly often because i have this ADHD brain that is addicted to novelty. I'm always thinking up ideas and going "what if you did vtubing IN SOME WAY THAT COULD ONLY BE DONE AS VTUBING BUT IS PROBABLY TOO WEIRD FOR MOST OF THEM TO DO", things like my "what if you controlled two characters?" post, or when I tweeted something like "what if you didn't use computers, and your avatar was just a puppet/marionette?" and so on.

It's not that I'm big into vtubing, it's that I see it and go "hey this could be used to do things that are difficult or impossible for other types of videos/livestreaming!" and I want to explore the ideas that brings up.

Same thing with furry. Don't get me wrong, I'm not weaseling out of being a furry (and no offense to any mustelids), I am definitely a furry.

But I think I sometimes give off the impression of being more of a furry than I am, because I see such possibilities for exploring new ideas in the realm of furry, most of them usually ignored. Things like "how do catgirls wear headphones?" (and more generally, the ergonomics of modern tech in world where people aren't always human) , the complicated sex determination and sex changing of many non-mammal species, the possibilities of senses that humans do not have, the completely different life cycles of some animals, and so on.

It's always interesting to me because it's new. It feels fresh and unexplored. I have read and watched and thought and wrote so much about humans, and frankly I have been vaguely bored with them since I was like 7 years old.

I crave novelty. In all things. And that's why subjects like vtubing and the furry fandom always attract me, at least conceptually. It feels like there's so much more to explore there.

But I just worry that it makes me come off as being more into it, for itself, than I am. And while there's nothing wrong with being into any of these things, for sure, it means I don't fit in well. I'm not into it for the same reasons as most fans, and I don't always align with their interests because of it.

It's like being a fan of a band, but only because you love their album art, and don't really care for the music. You can do you, but if you talk to a more traditional fan of the band you'll not have much to talk about, and they'll probably be offended at the very concept of how you call yourself a fan.

Anyway the fundamental idea at the core of this is how my brain is just addicted to novelty and new ideas. I have basically always been a fan of scifi and fantasy, and it's less that I love spaceships and dragons, and more that I get too easily bored when media DOESN'T have them. If the world of your book or show or whatever seems too much like "real life", I have a lot of trouble being interested.

Although to be clear, it's less that I need dragons and fantasy, as I need something new that you've thought about how it would make your fictional world different from our own.

A story that's just the modern mundane world but there's spaceships instead of buses, or a local zoo for dragons? Not really that interesting.

Although honestly a zoo for dragons has some interesting ideas. Just by thinking about how you'd keep dragons in a zoo, and maintain their safety and the safety of your visitors? That's interesting!

Because that's the thing that attracts me to stories like Star Trek. It's not just that there's a spaceship, but that the spaceship lets them tell stories they couldn't without it. You can have the crew visiting a whole new world every episode, and have that world be interestingly different from our own. You can tell stories about the dangers of traveling between the stars, in ways that couldn't come up if you just transplanted it into a story of a sailing vessel on earth discovering strange isolated island nations.

Although at the same time, I can imagine a story about the difficulties of traveling the pacific being very interesting to me, because of how you could go into the details of the working of sailing vessels. Like, go into how tacking works (which lets you sail up-wind), and maybe there's some issue with controlling the boom because you've taken damage to your boom vang. Explain how this works, and how your crew has to manage in the conditions, and that's new and interesting to me!

But too often I think stories tend to gloss over these sorts of details and explaining how they work, because they're trying to make the story more accessible. They don't want to have to teach you how this works, so they just explain it as far as "something is broken with the sail so we are having trouble getting where we're going" because they just need the ship to be slower than usual for story reasons. And that's fine, I'm sure you're telling a cool story about naval survival or warfare of whatever, but the new (to me) ideas about how sailing boats work is THE THING I'M INTERESTED IN.

Maybe it's not just my ADHD. Maybe it's also the autism. Like my brain doesn't get super interested in the human stories being told here with the technology as a backdrop, but you give me some neat new info about how the tech works and my hyperfixation brain grabs the popcorn and wants to learn EVEN MORE. Bonus points if you go into how this affects the society and people around it. How does the design of sailing vessels affect the society that operates them, and the people who crew them? Like, you can't just sail across the Atlantic with a crew of three on a sailing vessel in the pre-electronic age. You need more people than that just to keep the boat pointed in the right direction. So that determines the size of the ship you need, since you have to house and feed this crew for weeks.

Fundamentally I think part of why I think I have this friction with "regular fandom" is that the parts I find most interesting tend to be regarded as mere background details by others. Like the "how do catgirls wear headphones?" thing... You'll see a picture of a fit bunny-girl going for a jog and taking a selfie with her phone. The point is presumably supposed to be "cute bunny-girl!", and people aesthetically or erotically appreciate her, maybe even get gender/species/body envy from her...

Meanwhile I'm like "but how do her headphones work? Her ears are shaped differently and are on top of her head, not on the sides. The C-shaped design that humans use would make no sense. And how does the smartphone work if she's got paws? That's not as dexterous as fingers, shouldn't it be bigger to make it usable? A keyboard (like on a blackberry) wouldn't work either... The dexterity issue again. Maybe a joystick/thumbstick-like design, used with the center of the paw?"

And don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't appreciate the picture, it's just that I'm mostly appreciating it in a very different way than the average Bunny Girl Enjoyer. So if I talk to them we won't have much in common to discuss, even if we both like the same picture.

I guess the root of this whole thing and why it can bother me is that it sometimes feels that even when I have interests in common with others, I have them in a completely different way.

It's like feeling alone in a crowd, because I'm only in the same fandoms and sharing the same interests if you don't look too closely at why I like what I like and how I like it.

um. have dando furry p*rn i guess (dog/cat hybrids). 😭

***

Daniel watched Lando wander up the long driveway from the security cameras, pressing the button on the gate to let her into the courtyard, then the lock on the front door when she reached the steps. She had a starry-eyed wonder in her face, an enchantment borne from innocence. To her, everything in Daniel’s life must have been a novelty. He almost felt guilty about inviting her here, now that he’d seen just what effect his lifestyle had on the poor girl.

Lando’s tail was twitching uncontrollably when Daniel finally entered the foyer to meet her for the first time. Daniel wondered to himself if she’d never learned to control her instincts the way his kind were trained to practically from birth, or whether she was just so overwhelmed that she wasn’t aware that her body was betraying her.

“Would you like a cup of tea, lemonade?” Daniel asked with a friendly smile. “Water?”

“Water would be great, thanks,” Lando replied in a breathy voice. She followed him into the kitchen, her hands barely peeking out from under the sleeves of her sweater, making her look even smaller than she was. She waited for Daniel to hand her the glass and then took a careful sip before opening her mouth to speak once more. “Look, I’m—I’m not really sure that I should be here,” she told him.

Daniel raised an eyebrow and leaned back against the countertop. He crossed his arms over his chest, keenly conscious of the way Lando’s pupils dilated in response to the threat that her biology perceived him as. “You can always leave if you aren’t comfortable,” he replied. “I won’t be offended.”

Lando shook her head minutely. “It’s not you,” she said, her voice even quieter now. “It’s just…. Well, you should have seen the way people looked at me on the train.”

“Hat didn’t help?” Daniel asked, nodding toward the knit beanie covering her ears.

“I picked it up before I took a cab up here,” Lando explained. Her flush deepened with every word. “I don’t know that it would’ve made much of a difference anyway, though. I mean, you can smell me, can’t you?”

Daniel had been able to smell her the second that she’d set foot inside his home, but it felt rude to say as much, so he settled for a simple nod in agreement. “There’s not anything repulsive about it, contrary to the stereotypes,” he informed her. “It’s just different than what we’re used to.”

Lando glanced down at her feet, her fingers still picking at the sleeves of her sweater. “Some people don’t like different,” she pointed out.

“And some people do.” Daniel pushed away from the countertop, taking a step toward Lando instead. She didn’t look outwardly alarmed by his closeness, but he could detect a shift in her pheromones indicating that on some level, at least, she was a little bit afraid of him. “That’s actually why I wanted to speak with you.”

Lando squinted up at him, her eyebrows drawing together in confusion. “What do you mean?” she asked. “I thought this was about a job.”

“It is,” Daniel assured her. “And I do think your design work is quite good, but….”

“But?”

“I’m a producer,” Daniel admitted. “I actually…I wasn’t entirely honest about the reason I wanted to bring you here.”

“What are you trying to say?” Lando demanded. Her pupils were blown out now, her long tawny tail bristling as it swished back and forth over her shoulders. Daniel had the sense that she was just mere seconds from bolting straight out the front door if he didn’t give her an explanation that felt satisfactory.

“I’ve seen your videos,” Daniel said.

Lando’s tail poofed out to twice its size as her expression went cold. “I’m leaving,” she said stiffly.

Daniel had to grab her arm to keep her from going. “Wait,” he pleaded. “Just wait, okay? I didn’t want to be entirely honest with you at first because I thought you wouldn’t meet with me if I told you up front that I was subscribed to you.”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better about you lying to me?” Lando asked. She made an attempt to tug her arm away from Daniel’s vise-like hold, but to no avail. “Seriously?”

“I did want to talk to you about a job,” Daniel explained hastily. “It just isn’t the one I told you about in our emails.”

Lando suddenly stopped, turning her head to focus on Daniel again with a newly curious expression. Curious like a cat, Daniel thought to himself with a touch of humor.

“What job?” Lando asked in a slow voice.

Daniel cautiously let go of her wrist and gestured to the open door to his study. “I’d be happy to explain the details,” he told her. “I’ll pay for your ride home either way.”

Lando waited another second, sucking in a deep breath and holding it for a moment before finally nodding and proceeding into Daniel’s study. She seated herself in the armchair on the side of the desk facing the door, curling her legs up under herself and twisting into a position that would have been uncomfortable for anyone of canine persuasion. She seemed more at ease now that she was seated than she had in Daniel’s kitchen, however, and he took that as a positive sign as he sat himself down on the other side of the desk.

“Like I said before,” Daniel began again, “I’m a producer.”

“Okay…” Lando replied uncertainly. She put a finger to her lips and began gnawing at one of her fingernails without any care for how it might look to Daniel, who chose to ignore it as he continued.

“I make porn,” Daniel said bluntly. He watched as Lando’s expression rapidly changed from confusion to shock. “Specifically, knotting porn. And I want to hire you for a new VOD series.”

Lando blinked a few times as she stared at Daniel in disbelief. “But I’m…. Cross-species penetration is illegal in porn.”

“Not as of three weeks from now.” Daniel had expected that Lando wouldn’t be the type to have her thumb on the pulse of legislative politics, so he’d pulled up the press release on his phone before she’d arrived. He passed it to her, watching as the light of realization dawned on her.

Fairly soon, people were going to start cashing in on videos of young feline women like Lando lifting their tails to take canine knots. Daniel was planning on being the first out of the gate.

“Why me?” Lando said after she’d read her fill. She lifted her head, allowing her eyes to meet Daniel’s once more.

“I was impressed with your solo work,” Daniel told her. “And if you don’t mind my being a bit crass about it, you seemed a little more enthusiastic about the uh, size, of your toys than most of the other girls on KittyCams.”

Lando went beet red, perhaps remembering the way she’d forced a knotting dildo inside herself just last week—as close as anyone could get to the real thing before the new legislation went into effect. Daniel had been impressed with her tenacity when he’d watched the video, even if the dildo had been a few shades smaller than what she could actually expect to encounter if she took Daniel up on his job offer.

“I’m…flattered,” Lando managed. She’d somehow compacted herself even more in Daniel’s armchair, making herself a fraction of her true size. “But I’ve never…I haven’t ever slept with a canid before.”

Daniel’s eyes widened, his head cocking to the side as he processed her statement. That was a surprise to him; he’d assumed she was rather experienced judging from the amount of canid-on-felid roleplay that her customers seemed so partial to.

“Would you like to?” Daniel asked, before he could think better of it.

Lando sat up slightly. “What?”

Daniel braced his hands on the desk and leaned forward, toward Lando. “Would you like to?” he repeated, emphasizing every single word.

Lando’s quiet ‘yes’ didn’t come as such a surprise.

Daniel had seen Lando naked more times than he could count in the last month, but it was different seeing her like this, having her here in front of him, painfully real and close enough to touch. She was olive-toned everywhere except her nipples, a dark brown, and Daniel followed the milk lines down her torso with his tongue before ending up between her thighs.

She was already wet enough for his fingers, but Daniel ate her out anyway, lapping over her clit and dipping his tongue inside her until she was shaking, mewling, and crying. She was tight when he finally pushed into her with his fingers, and for a moment, Daniel was worried that she wouldn’t be able to take his cock, but then he recalled her videos, the way she’d split herself open on more than this with relative ease.

Still, he knew it wouldn’t be easy to knot her in the end. Slow and steady, he reminded himself.

One of the things Daniel had liked most about Lando’s videos was her voice. The way she yowled from the back of her throat, raw and husky, when he finally bottomed out inside her made every hair on the back of his neck stand up. He could feel himself getting rougher with every thrust, nearly sending her into the headboard every time he slammed into her.

“Can I come inside you?” Daniel asked through harsh, panting breaths as he fucked her.

Lando nodded, her pupils slitted now, eyes heavy-lidded and sleepy.

“Can I knot you?” Daniel asked again, unable to keep the desperation out of his voice.

Lando answered with a throaty mewl as she bucked up into him, her clawed fingernails digging into Daniel’s lower back, pulling him into her like she needed him even deeper.

When Daniel felt his knot starting to pull at the entrance to her pussy, he slowed down the pace of his thrusts, using Lando’s frantic gasping as a gauge for just how much she could take. He fucked her shallowly as the base of his cock swelled larger and larger. He was about halfway there when Lando’s eyes suddenly flew open, her tail flailing wildly underneath her.

“Take it out,” she begged. “It’s too big.”

“I can’t,” Daniel said gently. “It’ll hurt you if I try. Just breathe, okay? You’re almost there.”

He pushed himself into her as deeply as he could, trying to relieve some of the pressure. He reached down between them with one hand and gently rubbed at her clit, trying to force her to relax just a little.

Lando’s pussy was almost painfully tight around his knot as it swelled even further, and he could tell she’d hit the breaking point when her fingers suddenly dug into his sides, drawing blood. Tit for tat, he supposed. She was justified in hurting him a little, too.

Daniel laid on top of her and remained as still as possible as he flooded her with come, listening to the frantic beating of her heart as they both waited it out. He felt a bit dizzy afterwards, overcome with a torrent of endorphins, but Lando still hadn’t come once since he’d eaten her out, and Daniel wanted to give her a treat before she had to go.

“Sore?” he asked after pulling out of her, leaving her pussy gaping open as soon as his knot was yanked free.

Lando nodded. “Just a little achy,” she informed him.

Daniel carefully turned her over onto her stomach and then probed at her with his fingers before slipping them back inside. “This okay?” he asked.

Lando closed her eyes and nodded again, her cheek pressed against the pillows. “Mhmm.”

“Good.” Daniel pressed hard against her G-spot, making her tail whip around wildly as she let out a loud yowl. “I know you can squirt like this,” Daniel told her as he continued to massage the same spot with his fingers, moving them in a rhythmic motion he practically had memorized. “I’ve seen you do it.”

It was less than thirty seconds before Lando’s cunt tightened up around his fingers as she drenched Daniel’s hand and his sheets. He pulled out of her with a satisfied smirk and helped Lando roll back over again.

“See you in three weeks?” he asked, wanting to confirm what he already knew.

Lando let out a loud, shuddering breath. “I think I need a bit more practice, actually,” she told him. “How about Tuesday?”

“Tuesday’s perfect.”

[artofmaquenda]

You might've been asked this before but how do you do your moonpaintings?

Probably with a cup for collection right but are they safe to keep around or should they be thrown away? I might try doing some of my own

Bonus question: How did you come across this method of art?

No worries! So yeah I do use a menstrual cup, and you can wash them and reuse them, I guess that was kind of the purpose of the cups anyway! It takes some time to figure out (at least that was the case for me, I still manage to mess it up but I'm lucky I can stay at home most of the time :P) And Iv always been into more unusual things, like taxidermy/vulture culture/ furry and want to try new (weird) things, especially when subjects are a bit taboo, or when it is something I have issues with myself, it makes me question myself why and dive deeper into what triggers me (for me that is one of the reasons/purposes of art). I also seek novelty in creating, so this was the best newest thing. I'm not sure how I came up with it, but it felt like a waste of pigment not to try it out sometime LOL. As I began sharing it, I found out about other artists that use the same medium, so it is kind of a thing, but they all have different reasons to use it. 

It ended up being a very powerful experience for me because I hated my period and the pain it caused (except that I sleep really well during that time, and I actually love crying around that time xD). So with the excitement of being able to paint with it, I gave myself positive reenforcement. I became more aware of my bodily needs, I have less PMS symptoms now, and I try to be less hard on myself for being less ''productive''. With these paintings I also practise to be less critical and try different styles and tecniques. It is a long process but now I am more fascinated and appreciative of what my body signals and functions tell me. On top of that, sharing it also teaches me that it is OK if not everyone likes what I do, I don't have to please others. When others are disgusted I feel less upset, as a lot of people are not self-aware. I can only hope for people to question their reactive emotions and dive deeper into that. I've been steadily painting with it for almost two years? I'm not sure, anyway the novelty/hyperfixation has worn off a bit now and I do feel less need to work with it, I feel I took what I needed from it, all good things come to an end at some point. :P Not saying I won't ever paint with it again, like the urge was still there last month but I like moving on to new things sometime :)

Notes on Rebuilding Fandom

(a condensed write-up of my notes from a Pemmi-Con NASFiC panel)

The greying of fandom. Falling attendance. Conventions closing or going on "temporary" hiatus post-pandemic. This discussion tries to examine the issues and come up with some solutions. Should we even try and consider just bowing out gracefully?

I think the major irony of this session was where it was held. The 2023 Pemmi-Con North American Science Fiction Convention was, people tell me, quite poorly run. The panel discussion included many specific actions that other cons commonly do, which Pemmi-Con did not do.

(The question of whether it was this con specifically, or whether this con-running crew is competent to run any con, is a conversation that I'll leave to correspondents more embedded in the Canadian SFF fandom scene. I'm relatively new to the organized SFF fandom, and I'm lacking context.)

So let's talk about the state of the Speculative Fiction Fandom:

Fans today are more often interested in specific fandoms, not general-content or genre fandom

Fanzines are dying out; there's a history of bad-apple editors and editors who retire

Yet there are many conventions which are topical to Speculative Fiction, or topical to Fandom-writ-large, which are growing rapidly and drawing record crowds.

The question opening the panel was, "how can we get kids-these-days to be the sort of fans we were?" which I added 🤔😅🙃 to, and so did many members of the audience and panel.

The response question was, "how can we adapt organized fandom to meet kids-these-days where they are?" Many expressed the sentiment that fandom changes over time, so the organized fandom must change to adapt.

Also raised was the question of demographics. Yes, Fandom is greying. It will continue greying, one year per year, until we defeat death and become immortal. To keep the average age low, recruitment is necessary. But how do you recruit younguns to get interested in the Traditional Speculative Fiction Fandom events?

A number of strategies were identified in the panel:

Rebuild mutual support: It used to be the case that con-organizing organizations were many. Now they are few. With this dwindling in number has come a dwindling of mutual-support opportunities. It used to be the case that different orgs would help each other run events. This is a dwindling case. Someone has to offer first; let your org do it.

Make in-person events attractive: Before the Internet, it was harder to be a Fan. Without an established in-person fannish presence, you were a loner. Fandom conventions were the sole way to sate your urge for fannish socialization. Nowadays, Fandom is like any other niche social group: It's really easy to find compatriots from the comfort of your home, and you don't have to travel to have a meeting of the minds. Look at the successful in-person events to determine what draws people: novelty, merch sales and swaps, in-person competitions, event exclusives, photoshoots.

Outreach: You're running a generic con? Great! Find all the specific cons and specific fandom groups and ask them to panel and attend. If you're running a scifi con and haven't invited the local chapters of the 501st, the Rebel Legion, the 405th, the Royal Manticoran Navy, the 1701st, Mandalorian Mercs, cause-players, any local university clubs, and any local anime or furry conventions, then you're doing organizing wrong.

Advertise: This one is multifaceted, and had a lot of comments in response to Pemmi-Con. Notable points: Publish your schedule early enough that people can buy tickets and book a hotel room because they know there's a panel they want to attend. Publish your schedule early enough that your panelists know they're going to be paneling. Do badge swaps, table swaps, and pamphlet swaps with other cons, so that you can advertise at each other's con. Do this especially at cons local to your city, and at Big Cons. Continually expand your comms infrastructure until every attendee has a reasonable chance of seeing every important update.

Multimedia: If you're going to have hybrid panels, make sure that the remote panelists have good audio before the session starts. Provide slide deck editing services, to make sure that text can be read from the back of the room. Position your projectors so that the display is large enough and not canted.

Experiment with format: Not everyone wants to go to spend a weekend in panels getting lectured by grey-haired white people, or sing the same filk songs again. Mix it up. Pemmi-Con had a legitimately interesting innovation: a pinball tournament. One of the most-popular John Scalzi events at Chicon 8 was the dance he DJ'd. Anime con photoshoots are hugely attended. Board game conventions are similarly popular. Host an AMV contest. Run a room that's just a TV clip show. Have a library room, like the Carolina Manga Library. In addition to Masquerade, run a cosplay critique panel, and run it on multiple days so that people can bring different costumes to it. Do the fukcing Ribbon Game.

Look to the future: A lot of Traditional SFF Fandom is about the past. But some of the most-highly-attended panels at Anime and Games cons are about the future: things which are in the pipeline for next season or next year. Already-funded Kickstarters. Already-signed series. Do that at your Traditional SFF panels.

Train the next generation: Recruit volunteers, and when they tell you they have a better way to do things, don't turn them down immediately. If there's a reason, explain the reason. If their idea is good, adopt it. They're trying to make things better. If you drive out the next generation of con-runners, there won't be a next generation of cons.

Movie Review | Night of the Werewolf (Naschy, 1981)

I sometimes think about Paul Naschy and weep with admiration. He made a dozen movies where he realized every man’s dream: being surrounded by beautiful women and running around in a big spooky castle dressed up as a werewolf. You know that meme about what peak performance looks like? One needs only to pull up any number of screenshots from these movies of Naschy garbed in billowy shirts and pantaloons, looking like an angry teddy bear to understand. The man is an inspiration.

Now, this is only the second of these that I’ve seen after The Beast and the Magic Sword, and I’d say it’s about as good as that one. The other movie has the novelty of its Japanese setting, and this one has the novelty of pitting Naschy’s recurring werewolf protagonist against Elizabeth Bathory, in the same spirit of those comics where Batman fights Dracula or whoever, our beloved hero against another famous character, preferable one in the public domain. Both of these movies were late in the series, so I assume these were ways to distinguish the premises from earlier instalments.

Now, this has a lot of things I love in movies: a medieval execution opening, a rustic country setting, a nice castle, lots of wind, lots of billowing curtains, lots of fog (it doesn’t matter whether it’s indoors or outdoors), sexy vampire ladies played by an assortment of Spanish beauties who emote through intense stares, widened eyes and bared fangs depending on the situation, and of course, a werewolf with cute little teddy bear ears. Any movie that has all of these things is automatically a good movie (and I suspect the larger budget on this relative to the rest of the series allowed for them all to be squeezed into the same movie), but what I can appreciate that Naschy knows how to put it all together in an entertaining package and bathe most of the scenes in a golden glow that makes it all a touch more alluring.

If anything, I’m a little moved by the conviction with which he plays all this, as he seems to sincerely believe in the power of the material. When Hollywood was tripping over itself to depict werewolves with state of the art special effects, Naschy opts for the old school approach of dissolves and furry makeup. Even the spicier elements (sex, blood) are in sufficient quantities for flavour but not so much that they overwhelm. And while Naschy is perhaps not a great actor, he commits to the emotional throughline and underlying tragedy of the material, even attempting to emote from underneath his werewolf makeup.

You know that whatever it is, it's definitely not a dog. You can understand how your little sister got confused, though. The furry creature she's hugging to her chest while it wiggles and wags its tails and licks her cheek is honestly less weird looking than some purebred dogs you've seen - as long as you don't look too closely. Those tails have been wagging so fast since she brought it home that it's easy to miss that there are... two of them? Three? It's hard to tell, and you're not entirely sure that it's not adding or subtracting tails on the fly. The floppy ears look normal at first glance, but they bend in ways they really shouldn't if you look too long. The fur is long enough that you're pretty sure you're the only one who's noticed that its front legs seem to have an extra joint just before they reach its shoulders, and everybody expects puppies to be wiggly bundles of energy, so the way its spine keeps undulating in too many places at once is a lot less noticeable.

Honestly, you'd probably have missed or explained away all of the weird bits just like the rest of your family if you hadn't felt that familiar shimmer of sensation along your nerves as soon as your sister carried it into the house. You weren't entirely sure what this thing actually was, any more than you had been the first time, but you knew that if you didn't warn the poor thing soon, it would meet the same fate as the one you'd brought home years ago. After the novelty wore off, someone would notice the ways the "puppy" wasn't quite... right, and when your parents decided to investigate and do something about the weirdness (in your case, they thought it was sick and wanted to take it to the vet), the creature would somehow escape and disappear - or at least that's what Dad had told you happened last time, before they somehow forgot it had ever happened at all.

You don't have to fake interested delight as you step over to your sister's side and extend a hand for the "puppy" to sniff.

"Wow, Jenny, it's so cute! And so friendly! Do you think it will let me pet it?"

The "puppy" sniffs your fingers delicately, then gives a happy yelp and starts writhing in Jenny's arms, trying to launch itself into yours. With a giggle, she holds it up towards you.

"Let you? PUPPY! DEMANDS! SNUGGLES!!!"

With a laugh, you gently take the friendly little creature and hold it close, giving it gentle scritches behind those too-mobile ears. Making sure you don't drop the ecstatic grin, you tuck your face down as if to kiss its head and quickly begin to whisper.

"Only one tail, get rid of the extra foreleg joint just below your shoulders, make the spine a bit more rigid, and don't turn your ears all the way inwards at each other, dogs can't do that."

The "puppy" whips its head upwards to meet your eyes as you lift your head, then lunges up your arms to give exuberant puppy kisses all over your face. You can feel the forelegs and spine changing under the fur, and there's now only one very floofy tail whipping back and forth. You suppress a sigh of relief. With the obvious tells gone, you've at least managed to buy the little dear some time to figure out how to pass as a normal dog.

A child has brought home a “puppy” and is insisting on keeping it. The “puppy” is most certainly NOT a puppy, but seems pretty content with the situation anyway.

Frozen treats for dogs have become increasingly popular among pet owners in recent years. These treats are exactly what they sound like - frozen snacks that are specifically made for dogs. They come in various flavors and forms, such as popsicles, ice cream, and frozen bones. These treats are not only delicious for our furry friends, but they also provide a number of benefits. Key TakeawaysFrozen treats can be a great way to keep your dog cool and happy in hot weather.Homemade frozen treats can be healthier and more cost-effective than store-bought options.Avoid ingredients like xylitol, chocolate, and grapes/raisins in your dog's frozen treats.Easy homemade frozen treat recipes include yogurt and fruit blends, peanut butter and banana, and chicken broth popsicles.Dogs with special dietary needs can still enjoy frozen treats with modifications like using lactose-free yogurt or low-fat options. Benefits of Frozen Treats for Your Pup One of the main benefits of frozen treats for dogs is that they help to keep your dog cool during hot weather. Dogs can easily overheat, especially during the summer months, and frozen treats provide a refreshing way to cool them down. The cold temperature of the treat helps to lower their body temperature and prevent them from overheating. In addition to keeping your dog cool, frozen treats also provide a refreshing treat for your pup. Just like humans enjoy a cold ice cream cone on a hot day, dogs also appreciate the coolness and taste of a frozen treat. It can be a great way to reward your dog or simply give them something enjoyable to snack on. Frozen treats can also be used as a reward for good behavior. Whether you are training your dog or simply want to reinforce positive behavior, using frozen treats as a reward can be highly effective. Dogs are motivated by food, and the novelty of a frozen treat can make it even more enticing for them. Furthermore, frozen treats can help to improve your dog's dental health. Chewing on a frozen treat can help to remove plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth, promoting better oral hygiene. It can also help to soothe teething puppies and provide relief for dogs with dental issues. Homemade vs Store-bought Frozen Treats When it comes to frozen treats for dogs, you have the option of either making them at home or buying them from the store. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Store-bought frozen treats are convenient and readily available. They come in a variety of flavors and textures, making it easy to find something that your dog will enjoy. However, store-bought treats often contain preservatives, artificial flavors, and other additives that may not be the healthiest option for your dog. They can also be more expensive in the long run. On the other hand, homemade frozen treats allow you to have full control over the ingredients that go into them. You can choose to use only natural and healthy ingredients, ensuring that your dog is getting a nutritious treat. Homemade treats are also more cost-effective, as you can make a large batch at once and store them in the freezer for future use. Ingredients to Avoid in Frozen Treats for Dogs Ingredient Potential Harm Alternative Xylitol Can cause insulin release, leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure, and even death Use natural sweeteners like honey or applesauce Chocolate Contains theobromine, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death Use carob powder or yogurt as a substitute Grapes/Raisins Can cause kidney failure Avoid completely Onions/Garlic Can cause anemia (low red blood cell count) Avoid completely Avocado Contains persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea Avoid completely When making or buying frozen treats for your dog, it is important to be aware of certain ingredients that can be harmful to them.

Some common ingredients to avoid include chocolate, xylitol, grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, and artificial sweeteners. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs. Even small amounts of chocolate can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, and even seizures in dogs. Xylitol is a sugar substitute commonly found in sugar-free products such as gum and candy. It can cause a rapid release of insulin in dogs, leading to low blood sugar levels and potentially liver failure. Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure. Even small amounts can be dangerous, so it is best to avoid giving your dog any treats that contain these ingredients. Onions and garlic contain compounds that can damage a dog's red blood cells, leading to anemia. Artificial sweeteners such as xylitol are also harmful to dogs. They can cause a drop in blood sugar levels and lead to liver failure. It is important to read the labels of store-bought treats carefully to ensure that they do not contain any harmful ingredients. Easy Frozen Treat Recipes for Your Pup Making homemade frozen treats for your dog is easier than you might think. Here are a few simple recipes that you can try: 1. Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles: - Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup peanut butter - Instructions: Mash the bananas in a bowl and mix in the yogurt and peanut butter until well combined. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or ice cube trays and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. 2. Chicken Broth Ice Cubes: - Ingredients: Low-sodium chicken broth - Instructions: Pour chicken broth into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Serve as a refreshing treat on a hot day. 3. Watermelon Slushie: - Ingredients: 2 cups seedless watermelon chunks, 1/2 cup coconut water - Instructions: Blend the watermelon chunks and coconut water in a blender until smooth.

Pour the mixture into bone-shaped silicone molds and freeze until solid. Tips for Serving Frozen Treats to Your Pup When serving frozen treats to your dog, there are a few precautions you should take. First, make sure that the treat is not too hard or frozen solid, as it can be difficult for your dog to chew on. Allow the treat to thaw slightly before giving it to your dog. It is also important to supervise your dog while they are enjoying their frozen treat. Some dogs may try to swallow the treat whole, which can be a choking hazard. Make sure that your dog is taking small bites and chewing the treat properly. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or is prone to digestive issues, introduce frozen treats gradually and in small amounts. Monitor their reaction and adjust accordingly. Frozen Treats for Your Pup's Birthday or Special Occasions Frozen treats can also be a fun and festive way to celebrate your dog's birthday or other special occasions. You can make themed treats by using cookie cutters in shapes such as bones or paw prints. You can also add natural food coloring to the treats to make them more colorful and appealing. To make the treats more festive, you can also add toppings such as shredded coconut, crushed dog-friendly cookies, or a dollop of peanut butter. Just make sure that any additional ingredients are safe for your dog to consume.

Frozen Treats for Dogs on a Hot Summer Day During hot summer days, it is especially important to provide your dog with frozen treats to help them stay cool. Here are a few recipes that will help to keep your dog cool: 1. Frozen Fruit Salad: - Ingredients: Assorted dog-friendly fruits (such as watermelon, blueberries, and apples), chopped into small pieces - Instructions: Mix the chopped fruits together in a bowl and freeze until solid. Serve as a refreshing fruit salad for your dog. 2. Frozen Chicken Broth Slushie: - Ingredients: Low-sodium chicken broth, ice cubes - Instructions: Pour the chicken broth into a blender and add a few ice cubes. Blend until the mixture has a slushie-like consistency. Serve in a bowl or as ice cubes. Keeping Your Pup Cool and Happy with Frozen Treats In conclusion, frozen treats for dogs are a great way to keep your pup cool and happy during hot weather. They provide a refreshing treat, can be used as a reward, and can even help to improve your dog's dental health. While store-bought treats are convenient, homemade treats are a healthier option as they allow you to control the ingredients.

By choosing the right ingredients and following simple recipes, you can easily make delicious frozen treats for your furry friend. So why not give it a try?
