Doesn’t matter if you want it or not, nerd boy. You’re getting a fucking makeover.

Never attribute to forethought and planning anything that can also be explained by seething hatred.

(2024 political #art that I feel is needed right now again)

Ok some more: Once you start to view art as less of an end goal, a finished product, etc, and more of A FORM OF COMMUNICATION the closer you get to authenticity and enjoying art as a method, a practice, a process, over something you seek perfection with. On this note, get messier, while you're at it

Reddit post from r/yurimemes titled "Who else wants to be a girl?", the image features two girls kissing and the text "you like girls at much you wish you were one - yeah, welcome to the club"

Reddit comments like "Probably most of us lol, being a men[sic] suck." "Agreed it's awful" "for realz 2/10 wouldn't recommend" "higher score than I'd give it"

Reddit comments: "Straight up want to be a girl now? Maybe not really Would have been amazing if I was born a girl? Hell yes"

Reddit comments: "maybe next life, this ones a bit doomed" "maybe" "I can only dream" "sigh yeah..."

I'm convinced like 90% of "straight men" who are really into yuri are just repressed trans girls

Guys: if you find lesbian romance stories *really* relatable for some reason, you can just be a girl! It's okay! I discovered yuri 10 years ago & look at me now💁‍♀️

This week I got 30 friends and strangers to send me images that had directly informed sexual fantasies of theirs. I printed them on slides for my overhead projector and we all spent three hours sharing and discussing them with one another. I think this is the most important thing I have ever done

Ideas for What The Kink? #5:

- power exchange
- negotiations
- impact play
- bondage
- piss

A zine page with a burnt paper background. Text: A guy prefers to have drunk sex rather than sober. Since alcohol prevents informed and alert consent, he talks to his partners about what is and isn't okay ahead of time. A little fantasizes about being diapered and babied while objecting and resisting the whole time. Their Big is also into this, and they work together to plan hard and soft limits If these sound like normal, everyday kink scenarios that's because they are! CNC doesn't mean you ignore the safety basics like check ins or safewords, it just changes how those safeties look or function in practice.

A zine page with wine and red text on a background that's a picture of a gold wallpapered room Q: Isn't this just sexual assault with more steps? A: Not at all! The key here is consent, and it all hinges on talking things out beforehand. Q: Okay, but why would anybody want this? It sounds risky for everyone. A: why does anyone want anything? Some people want to feel a total loss of control, others enjoy power imbalance; some may even use this kind of play to work through their own trauma with a person they trust. Kink is different for everyone, and it can be risky, but you'll always be safe as long as you talk things through in advance and afterwards.

A zine page with black text on white paper pasted onto a background image of a woman in red lingerie standing in a dark room Text: Q: So I think I might want to try this kind of play. How do I bring it up to my partner? A: You can start by thinking about exactly what you would want to experience. Do you want to scream and say No during sex? Do you want to be gently pushed deeper and deeper into a kink you're both exploring? Figure out your wants and needs, and then communicate them to your partner! Together you can both figure out what works and what doesn't. Remember! Just because you want your boundaries violated doesn't mean your partner is comfortable doing that. Always talk about it first!

Old comic, but might as well make a post for it here too!!

meltyautumn.itch.io/maid-of

MAID/OF is a short 18+ PWYW comic about a trans girl in a cursed maid outfit, a nonbinary gal working a sub shop, and the kickoff of a lovely (unconventional) relationship!

(published in 2021)

Not me literally writing zines about this stuff. CNC is on the brain lately I guess lol

A white zine cover with two black perpendicular stripes intersecting. The page is covered in clippings and cut words of different colors Text: What the Kink? CNC (Consensual non-consent) By CraftyLilBunny Zines (Tw: sa/rape themes, discussions) Issue #4

A zine page with a black/white gradient background and wine colored text on white paper. Text: We all know that consent is key in kink negotiations. But what happens when someone's fantasy is to violate consent, or to have their consent violated? Does wanting to hear your partner say no make you a predator? Are you broken or messed up for wanting a partner to do things to you while you sleep? Welcome to the magical world of Consensual Non-consent!

A zine page with red text on a black and white layered background Text: What is CNC? Consensual Non-consent (CNC for short) is a subtype of kink where both partners agree beforehand to violate particular boundaries in a relationship or during a scene. This can be for any number of reasons, and these kinks can take all kinds of forms, from reading bodice-ripper romance novels to full on simulated SA with a partner Again, the key here is CONSENT! Without talking to each other about rules and expectations first, it's very easy to accidentally hurt and be hurt during a CNC scene.

A zine page of red and black text on an amber colored background filled with it's own text, like a weathered book page. Text: But What does CNC look like in practice? A woman wants to feel the rush of pushing her partner further than they've gone before, so they talk about what new kinks they are and aren't okay to introduce mid scene A polycule organizes a gangbang scene. They all get together and decide who is and isn't okay with participating, and those who want to participate all lay down their own ground rules and limits. They decide on a scene where they forcibly strip and sexually degrade one partner while they call for help, but end the scene early when their bottom starts disassociating.

Finally, What the #Kink #4 is out!

This one is all about consensual non-consent ( #CNC ), which is super fucking hot and also very scary and triggering for some folks!

(Tw: SA mentions & themes)

The 99 Bottoms that Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Love You

Thank you for your service 🥹🫡

Zine page titled: "On a Leash by Aji" Commentary: "Not a Furry But Like C'mon" My adventures in yuri continue with "On A Leash" - about an alternate universe WW2 between Allied furries/scalies vs. Nazi birds, and a dog-woman (soldier) and snake-woman (doctor) who have a very... unique relationship. "Not a Furry But Like C'mon" ...This better not awaken anything in me 👀 Image 1: Cover art of a blonde woman holding up a red haired woman by her shirt, next to a picture of a white snake coiling around the red haired woman muzzled. Image 2: a red dog soldier punching a Nazi bird man, yelling "TAKE IT!!!!!" Image 3: the blonde doctor sits on top of the red haired dog woman, injured in a hospital bed Image 4: the two women are kissing passionately

panel 1: The blonde doctor ruffles and pets the red haired woman's hair condescendingly text: "Good girl... this doctor will trust Doggy." "Argh--" "Were you that anxious because you were worried instead of being curious? How cute." Panel 2: The doctor (in snake form) shields dog woman with her body as she fires her gun Panel 3: The doctor yanks the soldier (collared and cuffed) by a chain, and readies a punch with the momentum. Panel 4: The doctor holds the soldier up by her shirt, and teasingly calls her "Little Puppy" Panel 5: The soldier woman, bruised and bandaged, screams "SHUT YOUR MOUTH..." as drool runs from her mouth and drips off her chin. Panel 6: The two women are passionately making out and fucking in the dark. The doctor is still clothed from the waist up

Finally closing it out with On a Leash!

(Y'all I'm tired and I need to take a nap after work but I still have 1 new zine for y'all. But maybe I'll post tomorrow lol~)

zine page titled: "A Face You Shouldn't Show by Flowerchild" commentary: Peak GL GF I started reading a yuri manga called "A Face You Shouldn't Show" last night and it's really good - like it's really horny and kinky but also the plot is genuinely interesting Peak GL GF It's about a club hostess and an up-and-coming actress who meet at a lesbian BDSM hookup club, but the actress has to keep it a secret from her manager who doesn't want it to ruin her "pure" image (and who also has designs on her herself) Image 1: cover art for volume 2. A collared woman is being held sensually from behind by another woman. Panel 2: a blonde woman is helping a brunette woman get ready for a masked kink event. Text: "All done" "Well then, shall we go play?" This is the tale of a certain nightlife district. Panel 3: the blonde woman is crying while she gently kisses the other woman.

Commentary: Peak GL GF One chapter in particular hits real good for me Panels 1-3: The blonde and brunette do an adult nursing scene together. Text: "Mama... Milkies..." Milk... Well, why not... "Here..." "wow..." Image 4: cover art of the two main characters embracing and looking at the viewer panel 5: the blonde woman whispers "I'm saying that you might be a masochist" to the brunette as she holds her from behind.

Zine page titled: Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! by Kuro Itsuki" commentary: Yuri Lorekeeper Been catching up on yuri manga recently and "Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels!" is surprisingly great. Like I expected smut (and it's great here) but it's also surprisingly wholesome, sex-positive, & sex-worker-positive. Just a woman having a bunch of positive, fulfilling lesbian sex lol Yuri Lorekeeper Like it's literally just "Asumi goes to several lesbian sex workers and has a fun and positive experience" Like it's legitimately incredibly wholesome for basically being porn lol And there’s like a big focus on consent and talking about what you want and like, yeah it’s porn but it’s like the most wholesome, sex-positive porn ever Like the first time she goes out she’s with just like, the sweetest, nicest girl who takes care of her and makes her feel safe Image 1: Cover art of Asumi chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels volume 1. A pink haired woman is being undressed while surrounded by other women who are all giving her lots of physical attention Panel 2: Two women meet up for a date and introduce themselves Text: "Oh good! I'm Sayaka. Let's have a good time today, okay?" "Y-yeah. ((It's not Mai-chan. It's like all the tension's gone))" "Um, is everything okay?" "Oh sorry! I was just so relieved that I got someone who seems a lot nicer than what I was imagining"

Commentary: Yuri Lorekeeper And it’s all drawn and written by a lesbian woman and you can absolutely tell this was done by someone with a lot of personal experience with lesbian sex Panel 1: two women are taking a bath together, and one teases the other by kissing her neck from behind text: "((W-what am I saying??))" "You don't have to hold anything back, okay?" "((ah... being held like this makes a warmth swell up in my chest)) It actually... feels... good." "Good, good. Then let's... make sure that you keep feeling really good." panel 2: Asumi and Sayaka get into bed naked together, and Sayaka guides Asumi into feeling safe, comfortable, and feeling really good. Text: "((ahhh... this is my first time getting in bed naked. But surprisingly I don't feel any reluctance. It actually makes me feel secure))" "Aww, you're such a cute, good girl. Is there anywhere you want me to touch, Asumi-chan?" "((T...T-? I can't say that!)) S-surprise... me?" "Hehe. Then let's look around for all of your... good spots..." "...!" panel 3: a short haired woman asks the sex worker she hired why she does this job, and they talk about her reasons text: "Ena-san... why do you do this kind of work?" "Huh? oh, erm... Well, I enjoy pleasing others. I've always liked doing things for other people... making people smile makes me happy too." "((That's a relief... it's not that someone scary threatened her, or she had debts...))" Panel 4: The two women from the previous panel are sitting on the bed. The black haired woman is playing with the short haired woman's nipples while she comforts her text: "You can do whatever you're interested in... or anything you think is too embarrassing and can't tell anyone else about. This is YOUR time."
