BewilderedKat :nonbinary_flag:<p>As per this post I am sharing some of my thoughts around the type of alt text I write <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114353563858177361" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114353563</span><span class="invisible">858177361</span></a></p><p>I didn't proofread this, so there may be mistakes here and there.</p><p>The first picture I shared on this account is here: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/112614898917500597" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/112614898</span><span class="invisible">917500597</span></a> It's a picture of my dogs in June of 2024. It was posted in response to the OG <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Tit4Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tit4Cat</span></a> thread by the lovely <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@alice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>alice</span></a></span></p><p>They had some specific socks I immediately liked, and some time after, my third and fourth pictures on this account was my first "lewd" post <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113147550747676068" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113147550</span><span class="invisible">747676068</span></a> and those socks are still intact, and I still wear them because they're cute. I have since stopped using the lewd tag though. More on that later.</p><p>My first sharing of any kind of rope pictures on mastodon (specifically) was in this old thread pinned to my profile. My attempt at bartering <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Tit4Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tit4Cat</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113149132171346910" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113149132</span><span class="invisible">171346910</span></a> </p><p>This was obviously not as accessible and there wasn't any good way for me to add alt text to proton drive. I started trickling in some of my rope art pictures, not all of them public. Also mild, like this is just my ankles. I've posted much less <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/SFW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SFW</span></a> elsewhere on the internet but this was more like a canary to verify I wouldn't be shinned for liking rope. <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113318786264649268" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113318786</span><span class="invisible">264649268</span></a></p><p>Initially this was to try and move content from my Proton drive to mastodon with alt text. As I added alt text, I wanted to capture the important visual details, but highlight the details I thought people might like to pay attention to. Or at least set them up for success in that regard. See the type of language used in revision 1 of this post: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113708638900527843" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113708638</span><span class="invisible">900527843</span></a> It's not just a smile, it's a sky smile. This is effectively a hint to help shape perspective. People aren't seeing me in person, so they miss out on my body language. I'm a playful person and I felt compelled to convey it. </p><p>I also like scene crafting, and at the regular kink events I go to, I am often tying up people along the edges of a different scene and parking them cozily so they can continue being a voyeur without feeling as awkward about it. Consentually, of course, and constantly monitored. I have limits on counts, and don't do complex ties with people until I've attuned a bit to their body and communication.</p><p>Around this time is when Alice started the <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/AccessibilityIsHotAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityIsHotAF</span></a> tag and it seemed like a good fit. My first post under that tag specifically: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113795675776478037" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113795675</span><span class="invisible">776478037</span></a> Isn't a full story, but more like a playful description with a sprinkling of lore that will kind of become a motif. This wasn't with any kind of planning.</p><p>Revision 2 of the simple pentagram harness had my first narrative text: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113810717477906908" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/113810717</span><span class="invisible">477906908</span></a></p><p>I flip-flopped on pronouns a bit, during the initial few posts. I realized this might get confusing for readers so I ended up sticking to They/Them most of the time. And it turned out that people like little narratives. That post got 53 favorites. For the curious, the one with the most favorites as of right now is my strawberry vanilla vampire snare at 86: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114162178258267843" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114162178</span><span class="invisible">258267843</span></a></p><p>A recurring theme for my writing is me playing with my food. I'm a wild magic condensate, and am energized by getting some people hot and bothered to some event horizon. Fae have bigger bursts of magic to drive this entity but some humans can also work well. There is also a power play aspect to this. A common one is that the viewer has the opportunity to make an attempt at overpowering, but it ends up being part of the plan. This is partially because power plays are fun, but it also lets me embed consent into the dynamic.</p><p>I never use the word trap to describe my methods as a wild magic condensate. Not only is there an icky transphobic usage, but it implies a deception and lack of consent. I do everything I can with consent. For the narrative, the viewer is aware of the price, they are aware of what they want. I'm dense enough to have my own gravity field and I make sure everyone has parachutes. </p><p>There is a pattern that ties into my self and history. I really like feeling wanted for me instead of just what I can do for people. Like I aim to be someone that other people want to be around. Creating a gravity field and giving people parachutes (an easy out) is one way to ensure people actually want to be drawn in and it makes me feel less insecure and my acting confident usually goes well (until I walk right into a wall - confidently). This isn't necessarily a good pattern. I am careful to avoid dependencies on external sources of validation and can overcorrect into too much self-reliance occasionally. Generally, I do a decent job balancing it. And usually my self esteem needs to be a certain level before I will feel comfortable posting. I'm doing it for me.</p><p>TL;DR (so far): My intent with the writings is to be playful and artsy, but still descriptive. They are not necessarily sexual in nature, and I have practice at asserting boundaries.</p><p>I don't use the word lewd anymore for tagging my posts. I still keep NSFW on there to make sure people don't see anything they don't want to. It was brought to my attention that I wasn't considering the full spectrum of how it's used in different locations and I quickly pivoted away from it. Some of my old posts may still have them, and those will stay until they get purged. I do occasionally purge some content to make sure everything stays lean.</p><p>For recent artsy pictures, here's some playing with shadows: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114338387602840948" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114338387</span><span class="invisible">602840948</span></a></p><p>Here's some of my tattoos plus light and shadow. One of the rare ones where I am actually fully nude, but it's tasteful: <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114270861378131324" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114270861</span><span class="invisible">378131324</span></a> </p>
