@olo They say you don’t need to be strong to fuck with pressure points, that’s for sure.

@nephilim I am STOKED

I have some pretty dark, sadistic fantasies inspired by real-life ““enhanced interrogation techniques””, and further. Some part of me would love to be the massive, faceless, nameless terror that visits one’s cell whenever he damn well pleases, rarely even giving his prisoner the honor of getting him off.

But that’s what writing is for!

@nyx Thank you very much Nyx!

The pheromone is a very, very late addition to the story, and I’m surprised at how easy it’s been to work it in. There was something missing from the plot for the longest time, and I played around with all sorts of stuff–weapons tech, some Zardoz-like themes–but I think this (and another Big Thing) was the key! It’s really going to sharpen Gray’s interactions with her treasonous fuckbuddy later on too, adding a whole 'nother dimension to what they do together and why.

I’ve seen this pic around before over the years. LOVE IT.

I saw this and was like oh no and then I kept reading and was whew.

Not a big podcast person, but it’s cool that this exists!

@olo Thanks Olo! It’s a hard balancing act, and it gets harder the further into things as I write. I’m still struggling with keeping a certain tone - don’t want it too graphic and warlike, and I don’t want too much worldbuilding, because they could very easily smother the building relationship and eroticism. But the griminess and misery are part of the point too!

As far as some art goes, I’ve got good news and bad news… good news is that I’ve done a LOT of sketching over the years. The bad news is that none of them have made the cut lol. I’ll get to work on that though

You captured it, my friend! My favorite has to be that first hand shot. Perfect.

Upvoted.

@olo Ofuk, good catches. I really wanted to make a spider joke somewhere, but I think I’ll have to move it to another scene. And as for the other one, hm, you’re right. I have her more in the “grudging respect” headspace, so you’re right, “hate” is too strong a word to use here.

Bless you Olo, and I’ll get started on that drawing soon for your troubles!

@olo I mean, it would probably work on me…

@olo CLASSIC!

@olo OHHK I see what you mean. I must’ve been looking at a different draft that had something like that in there.

And note to self, major oopsie: tenth-years shouldn’t really exist, they will have graduated from enlisted-dom by the “end” of the ninth year, barring unfortunate scheduling. Change all to ninth-years.

Sweet dreams are made of this…

I’ve been nervous about Twitter ever since Tumblr, and, uh, apparently we have a little more to be worried about now:

why does this smell like the calm air before a storm of “we’re going to ban all the nsfw artists and sex workers and also random queer people”
