Finally. We're watching on delay (DnD was today), but I'm so glad #thenewlevel is finally #allelite.

None of these items are sold with the intention that they are insertable. Will that stop someone? Of course not. Will we receive some frank & vivid descriptions/images/videos/pantomime reenactments of it? Yep.

We're watching Supernatural season 7. Just saw a location we've vended bdsm supplies at used as an establishing shot. Hilariously, there were things far more wicked & evil at that location than whatever demon stuff was gotten up to on the show.

I don't get it. Every time I solve the Lament Configuration, I just wake up in the drive-thru at White Castle. Total bullshit, dude.

A picture of a solved Lament Configuration from the Hellraiser series. The image is in black and white.
At no point, upon solving it, was i exposed to explorers, in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, angels to others.

I feel like I should get my money back from the strange mystic unknowable who traded me the puzzle for my graded near-mint copy of Daredevil #208. At the very least,that motherfucker is only getting two stars on Etsy.

Our normal #NYD tradition is a brunch at Denny's after a night of vending. Exhausted, sore, & weirdly wired from being in such a weird-perfect energy. Just found out Denny's no longer stocks GF English Muffins or Hamburger Buns. So, our brunch of shame was kinda lame. Next year in IHOP, I guess?

Dear person who dropped by our booth & acted as if you're above me in some manner. As if the years of dedication I've put into making quality leather toys were all for naught. As if my best work wouldn't stand up to your exacting standards of excellence. Your fly was unzipped

There is a magical place in Louisville where art and goths live and thrive, and they need a new home. It's a place for all folx! They found a place, but need a HUGE down payment. If you have any scratch to spare, please consider a donation. Even $1 helps! #artsanctuarylouisville #savetheartsanctuary

We're watching Dimension 20's Live show. I adore @vornietom.bsky.social's outfit. However, whenever they walk, I feel like if they misstep even a bit, they will tumble backwards & shatter. Is this because they're British?

Just finished #AEWwrestledream. Am now convinced Darby Allen is a power bottom with a Daddy Rescue kink. I'm sure he's currently laying his head in Sting's lap, being told he was a very good boi. Darby is probably holding a vintage Sting Bashin' Brawler, too.

One of the joys of living in a deeply red state are commercials for Republican candidates during primary season. It's practically a contest to see which dude will suck Trumps dick the most. Like... it's embarrassing, dawg. He doesn't even think about you. Stop writing his name in your notebook.

So. I made a little cage for my littlest dick. Woo! Commissions are open. They start at $75 for a 1-incher. The ring at the tip allows for urination and some #sounding #cagedcock #chastity #chastitycage #peniscage #cockcage #chastitydevice #customchastity #bdsm

Tinkering has led to more options! I changed the wire gauge, and now I can do any color. My finger is a size nine, for reference. It fits, but not tightly, and I can bend my finger a bit. It is of course, available as a chastity device, but can't be listed as such on Etsy. I take commissions. 1/2

I made some adjustments to my hand #chastitydevice. The original chain can drop over my hand and make it possible for the finger part to fall off. Anyway, it's live on Etsy (and if you're actually looking for real #chastity or #cockcages definitely send a DM). Cont'd in comments

I did a new thing. It's a chastity cage for your finger! It wraps around the wrist to stay on. Fine-tuning continues. They're also available for dicks (finer mesh than the existing cock cages). #handchain #handflower #chastitycage #handchastity #chainmailjewelry #uniquejewelry #bdsm #queershop

There's something depressing about seeing newer kink events promise to focus on the next generation of educators, but still bringing on the same fucking presenters as all the old events they're replacing. Especially when the presenters only offer a hard sell for their latest products as a class.

Just finished a custom piece. A beautiful, girthy, blue & green Donkey Dong. This fucker weighs about 4lbs (1.8kg for all my rest of the civilized world homies). It's gonna leave a mark. Or two. Possible some consensual contusions. Or else they're gonna use it as a terribly boorish can opener.

A picture of the blue & green Donkey Dong. It looks girthy and gleams in the light. It lays upon a purple leather hide because that's what I had handy.

Another pic of the blue and green Donkey Dong. Once more, sitting upon the purple hide. So much potential. So much wonderful booty destruction awaits.

A close-up of the pineapple knots of the blue and green Donkey Dong. It's a cool knot that took me years to learn. It lays upon a purple hide. Plus, something that's out of focus in the background. It might be some food flavoring oil. I have no idea why I have that around. It's not like I use that in leatherwork.

Yet?

Oh, hey! New stuff finished! Just knocked out a purple 3.5' Signal Whip with a quick-change replaceable cracker. It's gonna make a lovely mess. Throws nice and mean; making a small crack that promises MARKS. Want your own? Hit us up here or at www.etsy.com/shop/vanderk... C'mon... you know wanna!

A picture of a purple whip wrapped over itself on top of a pink leather background.

QRP with your current WIP Which, in this case, is also a whip. Get your own! Be the terror of your polycule! Always win the argument over who is doing laundry!

A picture of a whip being braided. The whip is being braided with purple leather. It is a pun. It isn't a very good pun, but attempts were made.

You should buy one. They're handmade. By me. I usually wear pants while I do it, too.

No pants whipmaking is more expensive, but I'm game.

Vending night. Which means a long, late night, ringing ears, & a sore back. I LOVE vending in the hip, artsy part of a town, though. The graffiti is always catty af.

Some, frankly, low quality graffiti in green felt pen that says "Joe." The initial graffiti has "this is bad", "you should feel bad!" written over it. It also has a crude drawing of a face saying "This Sucks." There's also a brown arrow pointing at the original graffiti with "Toy" written beneath the arrow in the same brown. I did not check to see if the brown was fecal matter, but I'm pretty sure it was a Crayola marker. I found that, frankly, even more savage. Even random children are dunking on this person.

Art kids are brutal, y'all.

Trying to find an artist to do some #dnd Character Art. I want something sorta specific & weird; based on a Caravaggio painting. It doesn't have to be erotic, but hey, when in Rome. This piece will be used for a personal-use t-shirt gift to my brother/vtt art. Suggestions?

New design, who dis? Short-handled Tawse in red & Black. Still haven't come up with a name for it yet. It's small, but quite mean. Will be doing troublesome things with these, for sure. #bdsm #asses #impact #notthewrestlingshow #serpsection #cuzitwouldbefunnytoconsensuallysmackthem #nylaisright

A picture of a new design for a Tawse. The strap is bifurcated, roughly 14" in length, attached to a lovely red and black braided handle. The piece sits on top of a wooden desktop.

Check out my balls. Of leather. Don't be weird. Pervert.

Two large balls of leather thongs (similar to yarn balls) and a clothespin for scale. The larger ball is black. The smaller ball is blue. But like a 70's van interior blue. A sleazy, sweaty blue. A blue that makes you nervously nostalgic.
