Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

#kinktober day 3 was praise kink, and this one's also got some bonus bondage.
“Good boy,” he purrs as he fastens the collar around my neck.
“Good boy,” as he tightens padded leather cuffs.
“Good boy,” as he eases satin over my eyes.
His words are velvet around me, so deep they reverberate through his chest and mine. They go straight to my core, melting and binding me. He jokes we'll try paper bondage soon to prove how pliant, how obedient he makes me with his voice alone.
“Good boy,” as he arranges me on the bed. 
“Good boy,” as hungry hands map all that is his.
“Good boy,” as he finally fucks me.

I forgot I was hoping to do some flash fiction for #kinktober my goal is to do exactly 100 word drabbles every day, and it feels fair to post 'em here. Day 1 and 2 were making out and hair pulling respectively. (Rn these characters do not exist outside of the snips lol)

Teeth raked against my lower lip, a pinch of discomfort he then soothed with a kiss. In his absence his hair had grown long enough for me to tangle my fingers in. So I did. I sank against his softness, even as the teeth clacking against mine and the blunt fingers grasping my ass reminded me of just how sharp he could be. Each press of his lips and roll of his hips was a promise to rip me apart. I hoped when he put me back together, he’d leave a piece of himself that wouldn’t vanish when he did.She’d asked for it rough, but I didn’t know how. I felt when our hips clashed, I heard her soft whimpers, but was I enough for her? Would I ever be? From behind, her hair looked like reins, loaping down her long, lean back. So I took one of those leading trails, wrapped it around my hand, and pulled. She gasped then went still and silent as a winter morning. 
“Annie? I'm so sorr-” 
She turned to me, chestnut eyes flashing. “If you don't pull my hair again right this second, I am never letting you wear the strap again.”

Historically, liberalism's failures tend to be spiritual and ideological in nature, whereas fascism's failures are often rooted in pretty basic logistical failures that extend from an ideology based in not knowing you need a legion of dumpy office workers to do anything worth a shit.

A necromancer priest and an undead wraith team up to solve a murder during a royal summit, except the wraith is the killer, and each new clue warns the priest this might be one mystery better left unsolved. For the last day of #DVParty, I’m sharing part of my updated guide for BONE KING’S BLUFF!
The background is an image of a castle atop a forested hill. The sky is gray and dreary. The overall mood is bleak. 

The text reads
"An agent’s guide to Bone King’s Bluff
Adult fantasy MM romance, 85k
Part locked-castle mystery.
Part Robin Hood-style revenge plot.”Character art of the main character, Nevell. Nevell is a white man with dark curly hair. He is looking to the right. He wears a green cloak over white priest robes. In the second image, he has a white fox mask covering most of his face. The text says "Nevell of Farlay. Necromancer. Hates the rich. Ghost kisser. Plague priest. Trans guy."
