A painting depicting a person encased in an eyeless rubber hood, holding their mouth open and letting their tongue stick out, orange liquid dripping down from the tip. There is an orange glow emanating from inside their mouth. There are multiple pairs of arms surrounding them, supposedly theirs. One pair is gently holding the pair that is keeping their mouth open, another pair is wearing a rubber straitjacket, and another is cuffed above their head.

Digital greyscale ink drawing that uses lots of fine lines and hatching. A portrait of a zombie horse from the neck up. Its decayed, mostly skeletal mouth is open and its ear is perked up. Its neck is torn open, revealing bands of muscle underneath. Its dark mane flows in movement.

digital color illustration, title at bottom: Furbicorn. A lavender-colored Shetland pony is rearing up. Instead of a horse head, they have a Furby face with mouth open, looking up to the sky. They have a stout unicorn horn. Their mane and tail are blue, and their horn is neon green at the base fading to neon yellow at the tip. Small neon yellow stars sparkle around their upper body and head.

Loved reading Gillian Anderson's thoughts on Camp Miasma's Billy. "obviously everything takes a turn when Kris seduces her. From that point on, she realizes what they can both give each other. She knows what she wants to give Kris, and I think at the same time, what she’s receiving."

Goo morning, monsters. The brick looms close, directing the flow of trash and paths of rodents. It’s tight, but far enough from the white noise hiss of the road to obscure heavy breaths. A great sighing exhale, satisfaction at the pop and squish to come when someone stumbles by, drawn by the want.

I'm thrilled by all the early praise for Tyrant Lizard Queen. I pushed myself. I knew I'd only get one shot to tell this particular story. I tried to make it sweet, gross, goofy, terrifying, cathartic, and much else. Dinosaurs as they live in my head. I cannot wait for you to meet Snaggletooth.

Are you hungry to explore kink but you're too timid to jump straight to the BDSM main course? Sample a MUNCH first! @dastardlydevil.bsky.social shows us how to get a taste of the kinky community in a non-kinky setting! www.ohjoysextoy.com/how-to-organ...

How to Organise a Munch by Dastardly_devil published 2026-09-29 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/how-to-organise-a-munch-dastardly-devil

Dastardly Devil illustrates his comic in a simple, cartoony style with thin textured lines and a color palette of plums and pinks.

"Hey, long time no see!" Greets a maroon-skinned devil cis man wearing jeans and a t-shirt. He sits at the welcome table at a bustling event in a bar, waving at a couple that's just walked in.

"Heeeey!" Waves one half of the couple with their free hand, while their other reassuringly guides their shy partner in by the shoulder. The more outgoing person has a shaved head with a big poof of curly bangs in front. They wear fingerless gloves, big round glasses, petite earrings, and a t-shirt tucked into their belted pants. Their shy companion also has a shaved head and ear piercings, in addition to a labret stud, studded dog collar around their neck and tank top straps visible through the neck of their baggy t-shirt.

Sliding over a name tag on the tabletop, Dastardly_devil asks the nervous guy, "First time?"

"Y-yes." They answer, sweating.

"WELCOME!" Dastardly_devil booms jovially, and then gestures at a sign on the wall. "Here are the rules:"

The sign lists:
-No play
-No touching another without consent
-No kinkshaming
-Keep the name tag on.

"If you're too shy to talk," He continues. "I can introduce you. If you have any questions or troubles, come talk to me!"

Gathering some courage, the shy guy ventures, "...What does 'no play' mean?"

The confident friend is eagerly filling out a name tag as Dastardly_devil answers, "Play is when people practice BDSM or kink. This event is a munch, it's only for meeting and talking."

"See," The confident friend says as they affix the name tag to the shy person. "I told ya!"

Looking somewhat relieved but still sweating, the shy friend answers, "Oh, Ok..."

Draping themself over their shy friend, the extrovert bemoans, "There's only play events in our town. We haven't dared go yet."

"Ah, it can be intimidating. But a munch is a good place to start!" The devil encourages.

"Wish it was closer though..." Groans the extroverted person.

"You could always make your own event, you know." Suggests Dastardly_devil.

"EEEEEH, REALLY?" They answer.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
