When people call me “kid” trying to be dismissive but they remind me I don’t look my age.

My flatmates are hosting a Halloween dinner tonight.

Bets are open on how many Gen Zs won’t get my reference when I try cover up the fact I couldn’t be bothered with picking a costume.

QRP with your dark art 🖤
You Want It Darker by GothicNarcissus Photography. Inspired by the Leonard Cohen song of the same title, it’s a self-portrait depicting a young man in the dark, the only light source provided by a purple neon light-like halo shining around his head, bathing the whole image in an eerie purple light. The man holds a twisted candle, its wick smoking as the flame has just been extinguished.

Fuck Róisín Murphy. Let her crash and burn, there’s plenty of artists out there who don’t throw their queer fans under the bus.

Shout out to the Sugababes for being real ones. 🫶🏻
A screenshot of the music video for Shook by the Sugababes. The video interpolates shots of singers Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy singing and dancing to the song, with urban scenes and shots of London. This is a screenshot of the video around the 2:30 mark, featuring a Transgender Pride Flag waving above Compton's Pub in Westminster, in keeping with the Sugababes' open support of the Queer community.

Princess of Power by Marina.

Artists, quote with something dreamy!

Evanescence of Time by GothicNarcissus Photography. The photo depicts a glass lunette window reflecting the clock and roof of Jindřišská věž (Henry’s Tower) in Prague, Czechia. The glass distors and multiplies the reflection, giving the tower a surreal shape and superimposing a faint doublet of the clock face with its golden hands and numbers, akin to the concept of ever-shifting time.

It would appear that “what the sky means” has indeed changed over time, Joanne.
A rebuttal to JK Rowling and her implication that “what the sky means has changed over time” is absurd, in an ignorantly misguided analogy to the evolving understanding of genders. Okay, fine, so what is the immutable meaning of "sky" according to this evil, ignorant sow? Is it the literal body of Egyptian goddess Nut, or that of Greek god Ouranos? Is it the physical treshold that separates the material world below from the divine realms above? Is it the eight concentric nested aether spheres orbiting Earth and physically carrying the stars, producing a melody in the process? Is it the gas envelope around Earth that gradually gives way to outer space, where planets, asteroids, comets, stars and other assorted celestial bodies behave according to the laws of physics? Each of these has been factual, hard science at some point, until proven otherwise. Even the currently accepted one is prone to constant revisiting and updating, especially on the finer details. Because yes, “reality exists independent of us”, but our understanding of it is, in fact, constantly evolving. So, what's the meaning of sky, Joanne? Which one are you picking?

“Btw, have you seen how gay the whole media campaign for Superman is? Nicholas and David can’t keep their eyes off each other.”
“Really? I didn’t know! Have you seen the movie yet?”
“No, not yet. You?”
“Me neither. Shall we go?”
“Sure, tomorrow?”

And this is how you get butts into cinema seats.

Happy one year anniversary to that time I snuck this into a Twilight fanfiction, of all places.
From Jasper Hale' internal monologue: “He understood why Charlotte had been secretly relieved when he’d left her and Peter, even though she was ashamed of feeling it. He pulled everybody around him into his perpetual gloom, tainted them with it, like a black mould infestation growing in a shabby writer’s room – and it didn’t even take his powers to do that.”

Since I’m currently on a Classical mythology high, here’s a throwback to that time I went around my city on a photographic hunt for all the depictions of Hermes I could find.
Merchant by GothicNarcissus Photography. The photo shows a white marble statue of Hermes nested in a niche. Hermes is depicted taking a step, with his left leg in front, and looking downwards to his right. He's naked except fot his winged cap and sandals; he holds his Caduceus in his left hand and a satchet of coins in the right. Thief by GothicNarcissus Photography. The photo shows a dark wooden door panel engraved with an image of Hermes standing on a small cloud. He's looking to his right, holds the Caduceus in his left hand, and his right hand is lifted, level to his face, holding a satchet of coins. He's depicted naked, except for his winged cap and sandals, and a flowy drape covering his genitalia and swaying behind him. Messenger by GothicNarcissus Photography. The photo shows the white keystone of a door, sculpted to depict an Art Déco face of Hermes, looking to his front and weating his winged cap. Psychopomp by GothicNarcissus Photography. The photo shows the ornate upper arch of a door. On the keystone, a sculpture of a handsome head of Hermes wearing his winged cap. Two snakes are coiled around his neck. Behind him, the arch of the door is richly decorated with carved roses.

What perfect album came out when you were 16?
Végétal by Emilie Simon. The cover artwork features a teal-green background agains which Emilie's head and right hand appear to float disembodied. Emilie wears an ornate and large white lace collar whose back underside is visible, giving the impression of disebodiment; the tail end of the lace is fraying. Her hand, which holds a small branch with red berries, is clad in a white ruffly cuff and ornated with a large cameo ring.

If you see this, post a flower! 💐
White Lies by GothicNarcissus, inspired by the song of the same title by Hearts of Black Science, is a photograph featuring a young man looking into the camera against a dusty black background. He wears a black turtleneck, a large crystal pendent earring on his left ear, and a crown of white lilies on the head. Only the foremost lily is fresh, while the ones on both sides look progressively more withered and rotten. Above all, the writing "White Lilies", with two letters blacked out so at first glance it reads "White Lies".

😈 See a blowjob, post a blowjob. 😈

Not BG3 and not visual, but it still counts, right?
“Are you learning to behave?” Ares asked, finally cracking half a smirk, but the moment Hermes took a breath to reply, the Warrior tapped his cock head on his lips, preventing a retort. The Messenger just took the small victory of watching him quiver when he licked his slit, just a small teaser of what he could do to him. When Hermes opened his mouth to let him in, to his credit Ares didn’t go straight for the throat – on the contrary, he let the Messenger establish his pace and, especially, play some more with his tongue first. Aphrodite must have taught him how to behave and enjoy things properly.
