When a friend told me I could hook up with a twenty foot tall dragon, I laughed at the idea. When I arrived at Azure’s mansion, I stopped laughing. I knew where ringing the doorbell would lead: I’d be tasked with pleasuring him until HE was satisfied with my efforts, or else.

The discussion before our scene was brief. Azure casually reminded me that he could kill me without trying and nobody would dare look for me here. He allowed me to decide which part of his body I’d worship, but that was the last choice I’d make as a person; from that point, I was his to use.

While a gym rat might have found this to be a fair challenge, for me the tasks were overwhelming and obviously impossible. I was trying my best! My best just wasn’t very good by his standards. He respected the effort but he wasn’t shy about mocking the futility of it.

When I paused to catch my breath, Azure layered on another insult. “You’re a pathetic excuse for a man, you soft-dicked WORM.”

I winced at the insult. Somehow, I found the courage to speak. “I– I’m trans,” I confessed to the dragon, the first time I dared to say those words aloud.

Azure paused and looked directly at me. His head dipped respectfully, then rose in an unnervingly slow nod. “A woman might be able to handle me, but YOU? You’re just a squirming little GIRL, aren’t you? Truly pathetic, like a delicate dragonfly begging to be erased.”

Those words, degrading as they were, made me squirm with delight. He was affirming my gender by focusing his ‘abuse’ on it. “Thank you–” I started.

“You have better uses for your tongue, girl,” Azure interrupted. “Get to them.” And so I did, even more happily and eagerly than before.

This might be an unconventional way to take pride in being transfemme, but sometimes being called what you are can be affirming, degrading, and erotic all at the same time. Happy Pride, y’all. 🏳️‍⚧️

It’s been a minute, huh? While we’d planned on taking a break around FWA, a variety of things aligned and turned that into a much longer break than we’d intended.

Since we were staff at FWA this year, we spent quite a bit of time before the convention preparing, kept busy during the con, and spent about a week afterwards isolating and resting. While we avoided con crud (N95 masks still work), it still took us a bit to recover from being so damn busy. After the con, we started working on cleaning house a bit, since we moved in February and have not fully unpacked from that. We had guests over for most of the last two weeks—first Tiko, then Zordrak—so being a good host took priority. Now we need to get caught up on housework again, starting with two weeks of laundry that piled up and probably continuing with getting our room in some kind of shape.

All of that to say: We haven’t been doing much writing lately, but it’s not a result of a depressive spiral or other negative life event. It’s just been a whole lot of things, one after another, that have generally kept us from opening Obsidian. We probably (definitely) could have utilized our time and energy more effectively but, in our defense, at least we weren’t rotting in bed for most of the last two months.

The forecast for the next few months is a lot lighter. There are some Pride events we might go to, including a Pirates & Princesses themed party this weekend. We want to go to more furmeets, but those almost always happen on Saturdays and, on average, happen once a month. There’s one guest who might come over next month but, otherwise, we don’t have any specific obligations or commitments between now and taking Amtrak to BLFC in October. This means, barring unforeseeable circumstances, we’ll have time to get back into writing like we’ve intended to.

If you think we owe you some writing and we haven’t recently been in touch, please contact us via Signal, Telegram, or Discord. We’ll offer refunds to anyone who paid us for work that has been incomplete. To help keep ourselves accountable, we plan on getting back into streaming with at least one afternoon and one nighttime writing stream each week, likely starting with a stream on Piczel Thursday evening. We may resume streaming to Twitch as well, just since we like hanging out while playing games. However, we’re also going to make a habit of taking at least two hours each week for self-care since we’ve been neglecting that and spending some time treating ourselves is a tremendous boon to our well-being.

Here’s to hoping we can actually stick with it this time. We’re going to be gradually sliding back into those good habits, rather than diving head-first into them and burning ourselves out. We want this to become a sustainable way of doing things and we want to keep writing for a long time to come. Thank you for your support, whether that’s commissioning us or just reading and sharing our stories.

Given that the House passed a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for all people on Medicaid, including adults, this seems like a good time to remind y'all that I am trans and I am scared about this. Call your Senators to urge them to vote against this garbage. Denying healthcare to people is just wrong in ways I shouldn't have to explain to anyone with a conscience.
