diamonds from ash

i’ve decided to start posting some more dark nsfw material here. it seems like the best place for it, seeing as the only restrictions i have to worry about are for text as i don’t plan to do any imagery or other media.

i suppose some of it could go to scribblehub at some point when it gets a bit more organized but part of the problem is that largely when it explodes out of me and onto the page it generally isn’t. and while i’d like people to see it and respond to it, i think if i’m going to put something on scribble it merits a bit more thought to the long term as far as structure and storyline and all that. so many of the things i’ve come up with lately are just Moments, and they need some sort of connective tissue to pull them together before they’re really ready to be consumed by a wider audience.

i could also better collect some of the worldbuilding that’s presently scattered throughout half a dozen DMs and discord channels and just put it here, which doesn’t strike me as a bad idea either. but first and foremost i need – really need – somewhere to let the gross and grisly stuff splatter out and not make a mess anywhere it’s not supposed to. containment.

because if i don’t write about this stuff; if it just sits inside me, unused, untold, it’s probably going to fester. there’s a lot of pain and frustration and just negativity in general that needs an outlet and has needed it for a while.

it’s past time i gave it one. so, expect to see more nsfw content. it’ll be tagged, at the very least, but i’ll try to use dead-dove only when appropriate. i do have this sense that my own boundaries are a little different from other people and that to some extent i engage with ideas differently; like, from a notably different angle. it really gets me wondering, more frequently than i’d like to admit, whether people enjoy or even have interest in the things that end up spilling out of me.

but i’ll write as i am compelled to write, regardless of whether there’s an audience or not. creation is vital for its own sake.

an audience would be nice, though.
