One more thing – how is human furniture sensual and erotic? All I can think of is body horror direction. Pls enlighten me.
I think of it as "erotic" as equally as it is degrading, and it's the cost of degredation that some a lot get off to...
Treating a human (alive and breathing) as a piece of furniture... Treating them as a mere stool/chair/toilet, not allowing them to speak or move because they are expected to be a piece of furniture is... Well, it inquires a specific taste.
As for the "Hannibal-istic" furniture pieces I feel you might think of, that's a very different subject. That takes a twisted, artful mind to create such subjects and find the eroticism and beauty in it.
There is also a mindlessness freedom in those who become the "furniture" (no pun intended) both alive and mutilated. cough

I believe in whatever I need to believe in at the moment I need to believe in it.
By being an atheist, you're doing exactly what you don't want to –giving importance to God's existence by denying it.
I prefer not to fight with people who believe. I just agree and move on. If someone says they saw an elephant flying, I'll double down: 'Yeah, I saw it too. It went over my head this morning.'
You said you don't see God's forgiveness. But it's ironic – you've constructed a forgiveness system that requires you to be godlike - forgive preemptively, forget willfully and hold no grudge – until your human limit kicks in. You're playing the role right up until the point you can't anymore.
And I'm not saying this to call you out – we ALL do this. Humans believe in whatever serves us at the moment ( inherently selfish)
In the follow up to that convo Hannibal asked: 'Would you have done it quickly, or would you have stopped to gloat?'
Will : Does God gloat? Hannibal: Often
This gave a new pov to forgiveness – it's a display of power. By forgiving someone, you establish that you were wronged, that you hold their fate in your hands, and that you have chosen to spare them. Gloating is the lingering enjoyment of that power.
So maybe divine forgiveness and human forgiveness aren't as different as we think. They're both about control. One just sounds prettier.
Divine acts are inherently dramatic and designed to make humans feel small.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF !! And the gothic eye looks killer btw !!
In clarification, I do not deny the existence of something higher.. I just do not believe it the common belief of "God"
I said "borderline Atheist" because not many people know "Omnism" and they immediately tangle it with Atheism. However, I believe ALL faiths have value. In my works, I use the word "Gods" this is deliberate, not accidental.
I'm also the type to believe in research, science, and factual truth. Something unable to change with versions and perspective.
And if my way of forgiveness makes me appear "god-like" then I apologize, that has been my way of forgiveness my whole life. If I waited for those to ask.. I'd have no forgiveness and no room to breathe.. I'd die from giving others completely monopoly over my existence. But do I gloat about it? Do I tell these people they're forgiven? No. The ones who I forget.. they're the ones who expect it, they think they're owed forgiveness automatically.
- Also, thank you. I've been working on fixing up some things. I even made my own AO3 skin, haha

So that line - 'You dropped your forgiveness, Will. You forgive how God forgives' I know Hannibal is being sarcastic and calling Will out on his bluff.
But it got me thinking about the actual differences between human and divine forgiveness.
For me, human forgiveness usually requires the other person to ask for it. Once you give it, there's this expectation that they'll change and not do it again. And if they mess up again, that forgiveness kind of gets taken back. Plus, humans forgive cuz it gives us peace -it's almost selfish in a way.
But God's forgiveness is already there before you even speak. You don't have to earn it. He doesn't forgive you cuz he expects you to be better tomorrow -he knows you'll do some mistake again. But that doesn't mean you escape consequences on earth.
Your soul is saved, but you still have to deal with the fallout here.
Those are the differences that stand out to me. But I feel like there's so much more to it- like memory, emotion, finality, all of that. What other differences do you see between human and God's forgiveness?
Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I've been sick, on top of a lot of other things... But that aside-
First, I personally don't believe in "God" I consider myself an Omnist (or even a borderline Atheist).. but I will never hack on anyone else who believes. I believe that anyone has a right to believe in anything that gives them hope and direction.
As for forgiveness... I fear I'd be too opinionated too give a true stating on "God's forgiveness"... For I do not see it. I never have. (The whole concept of Heavenliness is very... Foreign to me.. Mythical and fabricated)
Anyways.. for me, my forgiveness doesn't need someone to ask for it first.
I forgive anyways because it's harder on ME if I don't. I allow them more space in my head when I don't forgive them. And forgiveness doesn't always constitute forgetting.. but if it is bad enough.. I forget on purpose. They become a waste of breath and space.. but for someone to get to that point with me.. that would be them ruining multiple chances of the forgiveness I gave them.
In a way, does that answer your question?

That makes sense -the freedom of not having to hold back cuz of morality or consequences.
So, is morality not really a guide to being better, but more of a restraint? We become better by hiding our raw natural sides?
And when we call that restraint 'humanity'..do you see it as something natural, or more like a constrained version of ourselves?
Do we actually become better because of our "morality"?
I think it just builds restraint and boundaries that we instinctually try to push constantly... Which in my opinion, makes morality dangerous.. not safe.
Our primal selves? That's "natural"
At least, according to the animal studies I've done.

Homo sapiens had sex with Neanderthals. As of now, it's considered interspecies sex.
So, when we're drawn to interspecies or hybrid romance in fiction today -do you think that's some deep, ancestral echo?
Or is this just a modern fantasy we use to deal with our own fears about connecting with people who feel radically different from us?
Rather than fears, I think we fantasize about interspecies and hybrids because of the freedom in their passion.
Most stories I've read, and written, have eventually lead to humans giving in to primal urges.. instinct.. No longer having to hold back, worry, or think, even.. They just do.
And as humans, we can't just "do" there is consequences and morality.. but in primal states, there's no such thing.
So.. yeah, in my opinion, it's the freedom.

Since when did being "too much" become a bad thing? I definitely never meant to make you feel bad about it - if anything, you are "too much" and I absolutely love that energy. Push those limits as far as you can! I have a fascination for the extreme, mundane has never been my thing.
As for DMs, I'm just notoriously terrible at small talk or daily life updates - I prefer diving straight into deep, tangled concepts that take a moment to sit with.
I can totally relate to the WIP struggle - i usually end up outlining entire plot with the concepts, only to scratch them cuz they don't feel good enough, leaving me stuck with just 1 or 2 para!
I’ve actually changed the Bon Appetit Part 5 plotline at least 7-8 times now cuz , out of nowhere, Wei decided to wear long black gloves against a dark background to mimic Venus de Milo. 😅
Good luck taming those Kinktober WIPs - I'm really excited for those stories! And take care of yourself in between all that writing, too. Since you posted a fic yesterday, I'm assuming your hand is feeling better and you're not straining it too much?
My Tumblr DMs are open, btw.
Ahh, still trying to get me to make a Tumblr, I see. 😆
My hand is not technically cleared for writing.. but I was going stir-crazy and the brace felt like it was starting to do more harm than good... So now I'm wearing it only when I leave the house or when it starts tremoring.
The bones are settled but my tendons are still quite a different story.
I'm taking extensive breaks in between writing, which makes the process nearly 3x longer than it usually is. 😖 But I deem it all worth it~
At least now I don't have to sit alone with my words cycling like a typhoon.

Ooo Beledia is behind this.
Know the logistics and ruin my own fun? Since it seems to be a borderline body horror + erotic concept, I'm genuinely intrigued, but I think I'll sit with the mystery a little longer. That way, when you write it, I can savour it properly without any spoilers.
For the ideas though? I'm always ready for your stellar concepts. Sprinkle that glitter whenever you feel I'm worthy enough.
I did have Discord a few yrs ago for some summer sem projects, but I deleted it later on. So that's a polite decline for now, but honestly, I'm happy to just sit back and wait for your version.
For your 'challenge' - creativity isn't a field to get competitive. And I'm not even participating if you're already in the running. You have your own strengths - those layered and tangled emotions that make my eyes puffy and red and eventually lead to a good baby sleep with natural eye cleansing
I did read on your Revo about you writing a yuri ChiWei! And actually - you could use the 2019 Medusa or snake hair scrunchie trend for CC's hair. Just a thought.
I don't usually give ideas without being asked -people like to do things their own way, and unsolicited ideas can feel unnecessary and condescending.
Anyway, this was a lot. But I'm excited to see what you come up with.
I never said I was going to write the Bedelia-influenced idea.. I was just saying, paired with your fic and my brain somehow connecting the two in a confusing way, I had pictured something quite body-modifying horrible, yet delicious to create a throat fleshlight.. 😂
And the "challenges" I mentioned were more light hearted.. like playful banter or feeding off one another's ideas.
It was really just me trying to extend, yet again, another option of communication. But-ah, I get it~
Small dosages of lil'ol me, right? Hahaha.
Anyways, thank you for the idea. The yuri fic is currently on the back burner, I'm gonna focus on the next tV update, prep for kinktober, and try to get these wips done.
My docs are crying.. yelling at me for abandoning them ⅓ in. 😂 Maybe the yuri and a few of my WIPs will go to the Kinktober set. Then I won't have to make new ideas 🤣

You know, to be anonymous, you have to change at least a few things - starting with that damn summary format? And the iconic 'my DMs are always open'?
The vocab + details were screaming it’s unmistakably YOU.
Maybe try harder next time. It was fun though.
Gorgeous work, as always.

Mia bbg. Mara made me remember unraveled love. I wanted to let you know that however much I was happy with the third (and happy ending) NOTHING CAN BE COMPARED TO THE FIRST ENDING. YOU MADE MY EARS DROWN WITH TEARS (that travelled from my eyes). I had to take several breaks in between reading. I do not know how to express this but I was not able to read another story for some time. I was so immersed in it, I honestly felt like I was the one dying. Alsoooooo I am a bit embarrassed to admit but I was also repeating wsw dialogues out loud with full dramatics. You bbg are a gem and can kill with words. I had to read several fluff stories to get out it. Get well soon pookie, you deserve all the happiness and cuteness and fluff and crack and happy ending and happily ever afters 🍀♥️
I feel like I know exactly who this is.. yet the information is just out of reach. Hmm..
Anyways, I am beyond appreciative that my "Unraveled Love" is gaining attention.
I am half-apologetic and half-sadistically-smitten, by everyone loosing their shit over UL.
UL was my first chaptered RL fic and I had put so much of myself into every scene that I had only hoped.. only dreamed.. that others would one day recognize the effort and emotion I put into it. If that means leaving you all a sobbing mess, threatening me for compensation or violence.. I'd take it all, willingly, happily.
I hope my other chapter fic "The Variable" reaches people almost the same, but with the knowledge that it at least will end better. 😂
I'm doing alright, just pushing through. My wrist and thumb are fitful and my brain is a livewire of ideas.
I hope to return to the Variable and many other WIPs very, very soon.
Thank you so much for reading and being a fan of my work 💛
