To ensure usability over time, consider adding some organic matter while tilling the surface of your clay-like soil. Introduction of multiple size particles will help with more diverse pore diameter, and improve the flow of fluids and nutrients.

In this example with @lillieeatssouls (Part 3 of 4) we are using jute rope as some additional organic material for providing some much needed nourishment to the initial batch of sprouts.

When transplanting sprouts from your nursery, I recommend staying near the areas where you have already added the extra material. This is to ensure access to nutrients, and gives the soil purpose via incorporating it structurally.

It's well known how one is meant to use the darkness of a new moon to seed their intentions. When appropriately nourished, and maintained, the results may be harvested during subsequent full moons. It is still important to find a patch of soil in the aether that will be a good fit for your seeds.

You might already be familiar with some potential areas (https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114587038876051028) and subsequent blooms in #ContemplatingPupation but I would recommend being prepared for more scenarios as well. Here's an example of something to keep in mind if you find a great location, but certain soil qualities appear to be... lacking.

If you squeeze some soil in your hand and it forms a ribbon without breaking, you are likely dealing with a clay that is too wet. Yes, it's very moldable, easy to shape, etc. This is a good quality sometimes, like when you want a pliable plaything that can withstand all sorts of twisted pressure.

However, clay tends to have some issues with water flow. It is harder for water and nutrients to move through clay with its tiny pores. To make this impressionable soil actually useful for growth purposes, we'll need to make it crumble.

First, we need to ensure that it's not too wet. If it forms that elastic ribbon, then it's too wet, too pliable, and will just leave you with a sopping mess. If it falls apart under pressure, then it is something we can enrich, and reconstruct.

There are several ways to accomplish this goal, and it's best to experiment to find out which one works best for the soil you have. Sometimes simply exposing it to heat and maybe roughing up the surface is enough. Other times you might need to add some suction.

Here is an example featuring @lillieeatssouls (Part 1 of 4)

People sometimes think of a #kink dynamic only in terms of power exchange. It's more like a trust exchange. One party may choose to trust another to provide safety, tranquility, comfort, etc. That gift of trust is what is infused with power. The offering should be made with an appropriate expression of limits and bounds. The entity to which the offer is made is often, but not always a practitioner of the arts. They etch and line the boundaries, ideally capturing the intent of the supplicant. Once sealed, the ritual begins, and can manifest in many forms.

Within the circle, there is safety, accompanied by an outpouring of vulnerability, droplets of which harbor the essence of the devotee. These are cared for and woven into the ritual. The threads can undo a person altogether as the essence is drawn out into the aether. A mind set free to wander the void, leaving the consciousness intact within its vessel. It's a vulnerable state, and it leaves the beings highly suggestible, sometimes devoid of purpose, and easily put to good use.

The entity in control, the weaver, the witch, the queen of the hive; they have discretion as to what choices to make. As you are allowed to peek out of your enclosure after quite a rest, you see a snippet of such a ritual in action... Continued in the #AltText

More and more folks seem to be getting used as scratching posts in my "To Post" backlog. I wish sharper claws also let me break through writes block faster.

I still intend to complete the remaining posts for the current iteration of #SnaredEnrichment and I'm not sure how weird it is for me to start a different mini-series before that one completes. If y'all have thoughts, let me know.

Here's a quick glance through your enclosure to explain some of the sounds you may have been hearing. You know how foxxos make such a range of sounds, right?

Part 5 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment starring @Trey and @xYourEmoGFx

The problem at paw, one sealed bottle of water. One clever foxxo with no usable paws, one pup with only one paw usable at a time. How does one water a foxxo properly?

They identified that the spouty parts of the water bottle and the foxxo face should be near each other. And then the fact that they need to unscrew the water bottle cap. Is screwing experience transferable to unscrewing skills? Maybe we'll find out... Don't forget to read the #AltText

Part 4 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment starring @Trey and @xYourEmoGFx

The air smells sweeter somehow. You're posture is better with your wrists tied back this way. Maybe you should try it more often. While you were coalescing from this novel experience, the foxxo by the wall, expresses a need for water. Did you know that you're supposed to water foxxos more frequently than plants? It's true!

The keeper simply provides a water bottle, still capped. They express a playful confidence that between the pup and the foxxo, they can figure out how to open it. Unlike the last time, the pup can only use one hand at a time. She might have asked you for help, but the predicament wasn't clear until it was right in front of the foxxo. This has the same energy as a pup enthusiastically fetching a stick through a door that is too narrow.

They both pause for a moment, eyeing the bottle tentatively, considering the problem. The attempt is documented in Part 5.

#CW Partial Nudity (Breasts)

For some folks, it's time for holidays, and a subset of those are going to be hanging out with family.

I felt it might be too mean to allow this without a small brief opportunity for #SnaredEnrichment

If you want to feel more awkward around family, just leave this post unblurred on your phone for a while. Just forget it's there for the next time you unlock your device, savor your dash of adrenaline before scrolling away, or just freeze in the moment. Your choice.

Part 3 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment

What do you call a pup that does a good job? For this particular pup, the preferred term is Good Girl. And everyone knows that Good Girls get a little reward for doing a good job. For round 1 of successfully watering the foxxo, @Trey gets to be a little tied up. Then she will be tasked with watering the foxxo again to test their cooperative puzzle solving abilities.

You learn this agenda by simply having asked. The pup is happy to give you information. They want you to feel included, after all. You noticed that the music and various other sounds around you didn't seem to hamper communication as much as you thought it might. You consider more questions to ask of this pup, but are overcome by a feeling of self consciousness. You have suddenly become aware of your hands, and don't know what to do with them. You take a deep breath to interrupt the anxiety and keep it from compounding into panic. As if reading your mind, your host entity appears at your periphery. Their presence is simultaneously startling and soothing. You feel their gently whispered question clearly in your mind.

Yes, you respond almost instantly. You consent to your wrists being tied. You do feel a bit nervous about skin contact, but they simply indicated rope-only. You weren't sure if that was even possible, but it is. You feel only the texture of soft but grippy rope as it snakes around both your wrists and forearms. You feel your skin tingle from the proximity to theirs but they expertly maneuver around without closing that gap. Your wrists are gently cinched closer together behind your back. There's a bit of rope in between them as a sort of spacer to account for your flexibility. You know you were already under the care and protection of this enby, but now it feels more tangible with the constant reminder of the rope binding your hands to each other and yourself to your keeper.

You take a much easier breath, and return your attention to the pup... Continued in the #AltText

The pups willingness to offer up information no matter the accuracy extends to replies to any of the stories in this set. Just in case that's useful information for anyone.

You wanted to look around but ended up transfixed on the binding ritual. Methodical, smooth, sensual are all good descriptors for how the rope weaved around to complete the harness. You're unsure if you want to be able to charm rope onto bodies like that, if you want to be the one being tied, or if it's simply the pleasure of watching it that fills you with appreciation and a hint of longing.

The foxxo needs to be watered though. Fae has had a dry mouth based on the sounds made with some of the touch involved with the tie. It can be quite distressing for any creature to feel dry. Textures become rougher, sounds become sharper, everything becomes weaker, and you can feel yourself shrivel slowly down to the bone. You can't even cry about it as your eyes refuse to make tears. The torment can be easily resolved by reuniting the flesh with moisture, the droplets bearing life. A pup has been summoned to complete the task... Continued in the #AltText
