fantasy dildo recs please? im trying to find one that isnt like $100 but is still good and reputable and wont fill my body with microplastics. ive been looking at neotori and they look great but;; the price;;; anyway yeah recs please?

hi! i have a lot of information for you.

first off, my specific recommendations of fantasy toy shops i’ve bought from or know to be reputable: uberrime, wandering bard, twilight meadow creations, strange bedfellas, pleasure forge, pp sculptors, batbites, xenocat artifacts. all of these shops have toys under 100 usd. uberrime especially has a huge selection including non-fantasy, realistic, and dual density. my top 3 fantasy toys right now are TMC’s ambrose (mini), wandering bard’s shadow demon (x small), and uberrime’s ardor dragon (small). highly recommend ambrose to transmascs with bottom growth. also it looks cool as fuck. mine is bright green and yellow.

second, this google doc is a masterpost of fantasy and fantasy-adjacent sex toy companies (created as a list of alternatives to bad dragon) and is organized quite well, and includes some shops to be wary of. it was last updated in 2022 so it’s outdated, but it’s massive and still quite useful. safe fantasy toys dot com also lists body safe toy companies, although you should still check reputability of the company before you buy (some of the companies listed on the site should still be avoided for various reasons— try cross checking with the google doc, browsing reddit, etc). all of the specific companies i recommend in this post use platinum silicone only, but if you go searching for other toys make sure to avoid jelly and other porous materials because they cannot be sanitized properly and will store bacteria. just like with piercing and body jewelry (another one of my special interests lol), it’s always better to pay more for safety when it’s something going inside your body. reputable stores will always list the material, and tend to have pages on their sites with even more specific information on their silicone. shipping also affects the price, especially international shipping.

also, when youre shopping for fantasy toys, make sure you check the sizing. smaller toys are frequently under 100 usd. many fantasy toys tend to be quite large anyways, especially knotted toys (many small knotted toys still have diameters of 2”+ which is too large for me personally. for reference i think the average human penis is somewhere around 1.5” diameter and my personal maximum for toys right now is ~1.75). there’s so much diversity in fantasy toys that you will probably be able to find toys that fit your desired length/girth and are still classified as small and therefore less expensive. if you’re new to fantasy toys or have trouble with insertion (or even just have an average sized vagina/rectum), small fantasy toys can be cost efficient and accessible and more fun than more standard toys. many stores will also sell b-grade toys at a discount for minor cosmetic flaws that don’t affect usage. also, there’s a pretty big market for secondhand toys/dong sales on twitter, reddit, etc so if you’re willing to buy secondhand, that can be more cost efficient. quality silicone toys can be properly sanitized by boiling and other methods. for more cheap options— good glass toys can frequently be under 50 usd, and are easy to sanitize. also, tantus isn’t quite a fantasy brand, but it’s very high quality and has some great toys on the cheaper side (i love the tantus magma). and if you want a really good cheap vibrator, the romp hype is amazing and only 35 usd.

i am by no means an expert, just incredibly autistic, but i hope this helps! i’m always happy to try answering questions about sex toys!

okay first of all, congratulations on the update! Im really happy to get more of this wonderful story and your writing. Ngl, kinda missed Wyatt this chapter (not saying they appeared little, just definetely a change from working closely together in the previous case) but it was so good to finally know Romero and Sam! Tho I gotta say my favorite thing of the update was the poker night. Love to see all of MC workmate interact, tease each other and see their different opinions on things of the company! I wonder if there will be more or other moments like this trough the story?

Thank you so much!

Understandable! Wyatt has to take on a sort of support role for this part of the story as it unfolds around MC and their two new surprise acquaintances. We will slowly arrive at a balance in the future.

It wasn't the easiest to write tbh, but I'm so happy to see you and others respond so positively to that scene! Such small- and large-scale events on the site will surely be sprinkled throughout the story, and I have quite a few ideas to implement. At the very least, you need to learn why the dress-up parties are so rare and have a lot of oversight 😁

Hello! Just wondering if I could ask a few questions about making a fanzine and organising recruitment of artists / timescale?

Hi!

Sure! The Anime-niacs Zine was my first I managed and moderated, but I can tell you what I learned.

Collect inspiration and check out other zines. If you are not closely familiar with zines, check a variety of them, to get a good idea of what you want and what is possible within the medium.

Make sure before you start the project you have software/sites available to edit the zine together and manage communications with the future participants. (or have friends who can help you)

I used Adobe InDesign, but there are free and online alternative too, like Affinity Publisher, Canva or Scribus. I only had digital release for the zine, but if you want yours printed check out what parameters you need to keep in mind.

For communications, I made a Gmail account so I can reach out to the applicants via email.

For day to day communications on the project, I made a Dicord server too. It helps to keep things in one place. It also open ways to have a more chill atmosphere and to people to befriend each other.

If you know what you want and how you want it, make an interest check post first. This helps you gauge interest and raise awareness about your project on socials.

The applications: I used Google Forms for my applications, it's the best. You can even make an Excel sheet organizing the applications.

Make sure you ask for basic contact information like email or a discord handle. Also ask for a few examples of their artwork or gallery, to gauge their skill level.

My zine, I thought would take 3 months to finish. But my personal life and the participants schedule didn't allow for that. Make sure you calculate the circumstances out of control. Always add plus 3-4 months.

During the project, make sure you have at least monthly check-ins, that helps the participants keep their works on track.

Always communicate. Update your participants often about the progress of the zine. Even if just to say, you were too busy to make advancements, it's always better than leaving everyone hanging.

Have multiple mods on the project, so things don't move to halt just because one person got too busy.

Keep outside interest up on socials during the project. Share little works in progress and teases. To build up hype before the release, have a few day countdown to the release with artworks.

Im sure theres more to keep in mind but I hope this helped! 💖

Please answer me

we've gotta start romanticizing topping more bc the amount of ppl who want to fuck but don't on tumblr is unprecedented and they all think they're bottoms bc they've never had sex. I thought I'd be a bottom before I had sex and it turns out absolutely not and topping is 10000% more enjoyable for me

please we have to romanticize the strap it's so fun

the patient but intense waiting continues

hey. um. i love him

everyone in the cinemas will be wearing pink for Barbie.

I'm going to ruin everyone's day and selfies by wearing the darkest colour known to men when I go and watch Barbie. and when it's Oppenheimer, I'll wear my outfit with a colour brighter than the fricking bomb.

Aren't you supposed to bias seungmin? so why do you make gifs of other members

me if it was illegal to make gifs of other members ^^

as y'all know, being verbose is my main character trait. but as I'm looking around, I'm finding that there is literally no other viably large social media website that like. allows you to post an entire chapter of what you're working on without you having to host it yourself, as well as images and just like. notes about the day to day. it feels bad man. RN I'm bouncing between the three options on my shortlist and more and more it's looking like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and use Twitter. I didn't like it because of how much it limits what you can say and forces strangers into your feed, but at this point there's no where else that would fit what I make as well as tunglr does.

I do not have words to describe this dread. the last month has been... nine kinds of hell one after the other. because like. Believe It Or Not. my dog dying doesn't make the top 5 worst things to happen in the last 30 days. this is kinda just the straw that's breaking the camels back rn.

anyways. my Twitter is mostly just sketchy porn I couldnt post here. I'm going to try to start using it actively over the next few weeks to make the transition easier for me. If you use that site, here's my link.

Anyway House and Sam both being superfans of the same teen love triangle mystery book series marketed at girls aged 10-14 was quite possibly the best thing to ever happen on the medical malpractice show.

fun fact if necessary: i don't actually know how tumblr works and am fully unaware of about 90% of features so i just kinda write stuff in this little box hit the cool blue button and hope for the best

I like how as the season goes on it's made more and more clear how Kirishima's shift from "demon" to "kind and reliable adult figure" isn't actually as unprecedented as some characters in the show feel it is. Like with him entertaining Yaeka when they were both younger, before Miyuki's accident, and how he went with Sugihara to apologize to the antique seller lady when theyd just met.....like I just. love how it shows he always had the seeds of kindness in him! even in his terrible youth! It's just that he's finally starting to grow them now

I'm glad the "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" meme is getting critiqued in its usage because... While the sentiment itself is absolutely true... I feel like sometimes, perhaps, it's not a work of fiction's fault that you're personally bad at picking up on satire
