Toddler singing the chorus to Jamie Oliver Petrol Station

Absolutely!

These are beautiful, thank you for introducing me to his work.

I feel like I used to bear the petty frustrations of my life with more grace than this. What gives.

By "today" I, of course, meant "this week".

Yes! Though I would need at least three academics on this.

Please give me the money to spend years researching and writing this weird book that spans basically the entire 19th century please. Is it an easy genre sell? No. Is it something anyone will care about? Also no.

I have a novel I so so SO want to write but it isn't strictly horror and will require a lot of research and I don't know if I will ever have the means to devote to something like that 🥲

It was about Ireland but true!

Oh no, not the slapping hand!

(this part isn't about his mother, I just realised how it might read that way coming right after the other excerpt haha)

I cast her as Brunhild and I her Gunther, to be hogtied and hanged in her chambers. In my secret retelling of the myth, I was never freed, and there was no Siegfried, no deception. I bore no ego, no designs on my Mistress, I wanted only to be suspended in her presence, a toy at which she might bat, like a cat at a piece of string. I was alarmed to note that this was the exact inverse of all my earlier fantasies, of existing as a mind untethered from the flesh, of a brain suspended in fluid; no, for her I would be all flesh, all body, the mind blissfully departed. I would be less than flesh, less than body, little more than a decoration. "Only the body is real." Let her then have all that was real of me.

He's down atrocious.

I support the rights of women 😌

Taking a break from writing my BDSM cannibalism prequel to watch Animal Crossing speed builds :3

She is 100% my paternal grandmother and her kids turned out uhhhh not great!

And we love you for it!

Both are commendable uses of one's time.

I have not but I will seek it out!

Oh thank you so much! I'm definitely trying to lean heavy into operatic levels of Gothic on this one.

My sympathies to you and your family.

Hope you like chronically ill guys with Oedipus complexes.

[Whispering] BDSM and cannibalism.

This is what prompted my post!

Well this one is going in a collection with a bunch of my short stories. You could always put it out as a chapbook though?

That's precisely what prompted this!

Charlie please, be reasonable!

Very spooky, that should work.
