Bishko, one of my cats, needed shots last night to deal with her microsporum or sth., and the vet warned me not to get scratched or bitten during. So of course I said naaah, Bishop is a cushy nice kitten, she won't scratch or bite, while I wrapped her in a towel and looked away (I hate the sight of medical injections.) I was probably thinking Lyra, who never even noticed she's being given a shot.

Well, yes. That went as predicted. And because the vet said sometimes flea poop stays under cat's claws and infects the wound, one's glands will be affected, I now have a swollen red stab wound on my wrist and my hand hurts like Hell. 

Of course it does. 

I could have been wearing an anti b*mb suit and I would still get stabbed by a dirty kitten claw in this story.

Lost a dare. Got to restart the shop now.



What is the word when you hear a piece of music and start crying uncontrollably like you're mentally pretzel-shaped? I am sure there is a long German word for it.

(Mozart's Requiem, in case you were wondering. I was looking up the translation of the Dies Irae lyrics and it started playing in the back. Now I'm whimpering, googling what the fuck is right with me.)
On a plus side I woke up at five. 
Did I ever tell you about that fucking nightingale who lives in my (very acoustic) street and starts going all at it at around four?

I have a splinter inside my trigger finger tip. It's so small you can barely see a tiny black point just under the skin and when I press it, I wish someone would hammer my foot during. This is all because I was playing with velvet grass yesterday and G said: Don't play with grass; don't you know sometimes you get puss-filled little blisters from it?

No, I did not know that. WHY would you? I love grass. Velvet creeping is my favourite. And it's not directly related to my finger, but if I am going to get injured from playing with grass, it will be microscopic and so painfully I am not going around the apartment looking for a needle and a lighter and courage to try and dig the damn thing out. 

It's five a.m. Need coffee to brain. Hold on.

Blewh, had a tick the size of a stag beetle on my stomach today. It didn't really dig in yet, but they are not supposed to be that big this early in the season. There was no winter to speak of. Guess last yers' stags are roaming free.

We spent the better part of the day mowing the vineyard again. Two people using three different mowers and still we didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Fuck that shit is hard. First I used a flat push-mower, clearing as many terraces as I could before the terrain causes some to crumble and get too narrow (and G strictly forbids me to risk slipping and getting my feet carved off), at which point I switched to a small electrical garden stick to clear the bunches left around the grape bases. Then, so as to not loiter once the batteries on those died out, G took the flat mower to get a few more lines in, and I used the heavy stick mower. Cannot move my arms right now. Seriously, I am typing this with my nose. 
    Have you ever seen two exhausted people try to have sex? I barely managed to shower, which is must, as one is covered in bits of vegetation head to toe. Don't even remember how I made it to bed.  'Take me. Take me now.' 'I am not taking you anywhere. You love being on top, you climb on.' 'Best I can do right now is hug you. Come on. Find some place to work it and give it to me hard.' '*snooorrreee*'

Yeah.
No. 

Three days of hardcore menial labour. Half a vineyard to go. It's getting warm, too. Got patches of red neck and brown elbows, though some of that are oil stains and mild bruises from the mower and the tiny pellets of pebbles spraying about if I hit a bit of a dirt pile one of the dogs managed to leave behind the last time they were burying a fetch stick.

Heard something really meta today :D One of those: 'Freak you out for the rest of your life' things ....

The first time I heard one of those was when I read: Have you already bought the clothes you are going to die in?

There are more. 
Today I read: You are being spied on by the future you by their memories

Damn. That is freakishly true. Somewhere in the future there is a wiser, calmer, more experienced individual who is judging everything I think and do - AM THINKING and DOING right NOW, actually. 

O.O

Spoke to a stranger today!! On the phone! Go me! (It was a DHL operator and of course it was a pointless, frustrating and predictably futile dialogue, as she informed me again of the prices which I have since negotiated down to a manageable amount. Guess not. How shocking.). I was even put on hold and had to listen to bad music for a few minutes.

I feel so proud.
Can't remember the last time I talked to someone I didn't know, on the phone. I know there was a missed call from an unknown number the other day and I freaked out completely. Ah, well. Small victories. 

"Kissing how people who want to be kissing kiss" - a Final Fantasy 7 Remake fuck fiction (Cloud and Sep, obviously)


(*I’m just loving how gay the FF7 Remake can be in regards to Sep and Cloud (yes, yes, I know, it isn’t really a sexual thing between them as one is a sadistic psychopath who wants to watch the kid get mentally demolished before he ruins everything else and the other is a disillusioned emotional icicle. Combined they have a PTSD so thick you could cut bricks out of. And 90% of the time their encounters are hallucinations from the mako poisoning. I KNOW.) But, you know. Same as some of us just can’t see Hojo as the actual father and see Vincent, it was totally gay before - not a scene where their big long swords weren’t clashing and one wasn’t completely obsessed with the other. Now, just from the cut scenes and the plot in the latest instalment, for all its watered down faults, all the touching, all the hot whispering, all the face-ten-inches-from-a-naked-chest moments … The taller one even lays on top of the little one once or twice. It’s no secret I would make sweet sweet love to that character 357 ways until Sunday and had he not gone batshit insane and killed everyone, Cloud would more than likely, too. I even thought for a moment in one of the close-ups of the succulent lips (Ah, step aside Advent Children, they made his lips a lot juicier this time around), they made one of his bottom teeth slightly imperfect, which would have had me cum right then and there. Cue every hunk Korean porn on the Hub, and it is lucky I don’t own a PS4, as then I really wouldn’t sleep any even after the sun comes up. How about a short, properly angsty fuck fic instead? It’s seven in the morning now. Dog won’t wake up until nine. Plenty time to fangirl the cutest shipping in horror action since Zack got blown to bits saving Cloudy boy.)


“Kissing how people who want to be kissing kiss”

Loving the scenery of the outpost, several miles of beauty between the station they were at and the spring of the valley, Sephiroth got up to jog and once he’s gotten far into the northern gorge enough, he decided to climb and once he reached a small lake, he decided to swim across. As per usual, a handful of young recruits and even some of the younger lieutenants half-conspicuously chose the same hour and route, but by the time he’s reached the other side of the freezing crystal pond, he saw only one of the eager little pups keeping up. He recognized the blonde head. He knew which one it was.
      Twisting his hair to drain it, stepping on his shoes to get them off, he watched the kid get out of the water as far away as possible still on the same rocks, skin blue and goosebumps, pretending not to be frozen stiff. Sephiroth shed everything but his underwear to let it dry in the sun which has just managed over the high ridge around them, hoping the kid will have the common sense to do the same and bask until their spines thaw.
         “Not bad for a recruit,” said the hero, voice carried perfectly across the flat lake surface.
         “I was… uh. I was trying to impress you,” admitted the kid. There was a hint of ‘I may not have thought it through’ while he paced and studied the warmer rocks. Cold water made them both erect, but it seemed only the kid was embarrassed by such a blatantly involuntary occurrence. He was too cold to be stubborn, though, so he stripped, teeth rattling, and laid the clothes on the rocks in the same manner. His mentor’s pause to rest in the sun didn’t feel like a test, it felt like an actual moment of respite, so he gladly accepted the lesson.
         “Ambition accomplished,” muttered the general.
         Sephiroth lay down onto the rocks, closing his eyes, rubbing his face, listening to the only other human in the area. Others would have failed to follow in the rocks and would have no idea where to go once the lake started, so they were completely alone. Lost and timeless. This allowed for an hour or so of switching off in nature more beautiful than could be described. Later the day will be hotter and the mission will occupy the entirety of his brain and energy, but for now, the moment was idyllic. Others might spoil it, but he knew this boy and liked him. A harmless enough hatchling bird the kid was. Awkward and ambitious.
       The boy shuffled around with his clothes, laying them over, laying himself flat, soon everything got completely silent. It was so quiet in fact they could hear hints of the valley carried up on the wind, some distant industry and small animals in the trees.
       After a few minutes, Sephiroth tried not to smile: “I can feel you staring,” he warned, even though his face was turned away. Sound of the kid’s gasp and averting amused further. That kid was honest to the point of being retarded. It was just a matter of time when this minute opening to continue a conversation would be taken advantage of. It could have gone either way and as odd as he realized it was, Sephiroth would have regretted had the kid retained his characteristic terseness.
        “I was just admiring you,” muttered the young recruit.
       “Appreciated. But I can’t take credit for all of it. There’s a little bit of science shoved within.” Another hint of sarcasm in the super soldier’s voice flew directly over the boy’s head and he strained to turn to his idol and argue:
        “There are hundreds of mako-enhanced officers in ShinRa’s ranks. There is only one Sephiroth.”
         “You’re in Zack’ group, aren’t you? Are you friends?”
         “Uh, I … I would want it to be so. Zack’s great.”
         “Zack is great. He’s a … baby brother I want to beat the shit out of every day, but I love him. Zack is someone whom you should look up to. He achieved almost as much with almost no enhancement and you are closer in age. He will teach you everything you need to know about being a SOLDIER.”
          The boy kept straining in an uncomfortable pose, looking at the general from his lying position, hearing what the man was saying and it was not much of a debate – Zack WAS great – yet for all the generous diversion thrown at him, it wasn’t what he wanted to talk about.
         He said: “Zack is like a big brother to me. I very much do look up to him. But I love you.”
        For the briefest awkward moment the silver-haired general stopped breathing and if this was all there was to it, he probably would have laughed at the pathetic confession. Gods knew he must have gotten those five times a day. But he didn’t laugh and he didn’t make it awkward. He sighed and rubbed his face again, eventually muttering: “You don’t know anything about me, kid.”
         “I know everything about you. I’ve loved you since I was nine years old. You are the reason I wanted to become SOLDIER.”
          “You and half the recruits since they started putting my face on the advertising posters. Look. I am not saying being an inspiration is not motivating, but a lot of that is PR and if you had half of an idea of how human I was underneath the polished surface ShinRa is peddling, you’d…”
          “You’re trying to throw me off by telling me you’re human?”
         Okay, yes, it was a stupid strategy. Admitting to this tender-heart gnat that he had doubts and fears and spend an hour climbing up a really unpleasant rock to be naked on a lakeside shore may be the opposite of what the kid would find off-putting.  Sephiroth laughed and the kid shuffled onto his feet and came closer. Close, in fact, enough to reach and touch. Because he was not told to get the hell away, he now stared blatantly and it seemed he was looking for scars to confirm the fact his idol was not infallible. Sephiroth had plenty of those, but the office in the medical laboratory usually dealt with them until only hints remained. Can’t have chinks in the porcelain armor.  
         The kid let a hand onto a palm-long scar of an injury that almost carved out his collar bone, albeit that was a long time ago and it was caused by a machine more than a skilled opponent. Boy leaned above the general, asking: “May I?”
        Resigned, Sephiroth warned again: “At your own peril, rookie.” There was a little bit of a mockery, as if to suggest since he’s been such a good little recruit and kept so well with the physical efforts of the general’s morning pace, he deserved a little bit of clemency.
           Boy’s hand was still cool, but he traced down the stomach and up again, warming up plenty. He deliberately brushed his fingertips against Sep’s nipple, causing the cock to visibly twitch. The erection he had from the frozen water, which has since uninterestedly subsided, threatened to return. 
          The boy moved above, placing fists on each side of the man’s head, careful not to tug on the gray tresses. He roofed above, staring, studying the general’s flawless face and momentarily stopped breathing. They both stared.
            Before Sephiroth could banish the moment against his better judgment (concerning the perfect morning as it was, not the overall problematic existence they both exercised outside of it.), the kid said: “One kiss. Alright? It’s all I want. Let me kiss you this once and then I will never speak of it again or speak to you or even suggest I am anything but your honorable third class. One kiss. I don’t even know what I’m doing.”
         It was technically one kiss, it just lasted a really long time. The boy was not the best kisser, but he was very much in love and they both just went with it. Every time one of them would open their eyes and see the other had them closed, they just kept going. Once they finally stopped and dawdled to see which way the scale will tilt, it was clear neither of them had any wish to return to reality. It felt strange to muster so much abandon and just enjoy the moment when normally they would each find twenty reasons to ruin their own pleasure. This at least was what they had in common.
        Sephiroth shook his head, exhaling: “This is such a bad idea,” but he was saying it while taking off his undergarments. The sight of his mentor exposed – and fully invested – cause the boy to blush up to his earlobes, still he did not miss a beat. He, too, stripped at once and the two began kissing like people who want to be kissing kiss. Neither moved too aggressively, not in a sexual way, Sephiroth because he didn’t truly want to commit to having an encounter with a recruit and the kid because he wasn’t brave enough to suggest it, at least not until the very end. Making it more sexual, offering a blow job or some such would require leaving Sep’s lips and that was not an option. What they did manage, though, was find a surprisingly adult rhythm in their movement, in the touching and breathing and it was starting to threaten closure – sensation worrisome and rewarding in equal measure. The kids’s massive eyes, aroused now almost entirely black, cried: I don’t want to cum … I am cumming … I can’t believe this is happening … I will die if it stops happening …
         At some point, when it was not possible to stretch it out much longer, Sephiroth pulled the kid’s leg around his waist and ground them together, to which the rookie almost lost it right then and there and said, putting all his chips in the pot: “I want you to do it.”
        They certainly were in a position that warranted it – embraced and entwined and all but aligned for their difference in heights otherwise. Still. Sephiroth recoiled only a little, looking at the beauty that the boy was, inside and out: “If you’ve never done that, it’ll hurt like hell.”
          “And I will think of nothing else for as long as I am alive.”
        Sold, smirked the general, having to admit this idealistic energy was intoxicating. He bunched saliva onto his fingertips and reached around the kid’s ass to coat the rim, then guided his cock, pushing up, until the tip hadn’t anywhere else to go but in. The reluctant orifice lost all say in the matter and was forced to accept the general’s intrusion. He only managed the tip in this position anyway and it only lasted a few moments before he lost control and lost the entirety of his balls’ content into the youngling. Getting himself untangled from the buzzing in his head, his blood boiling and the sweaty limbs of the little lover, he finally rolled away, onto his back, pressing his hands to his chest, eyes closed.
          “My heart is pounding,” he laughed, as if that didn’t actually happen that very often.
      The kid seemed wasted, too. Blushed and covered in sweat and breathless. Only then did Sephiroth realize his stomach was glistening with the kid’s contribution. “Oh.”
          “I actually came a few moments before you went in. When you fingered me. You were right. It does hurt like hell.”
          They both laughed and this was the only time, ever really, past or future, that Sephiroth has seen that boy laugh. It was hard to tell up until the if the kid even had any teeth. It also wasn’t quite possible for either of them to know, but it was the only time in his existence that the kid was thoroughly and fundamentally jubilant. Watching Sephiroth move over to the water to wash his stomach and then return to lay next to him, hour-glass pinched his life, changing everything and solidifying his fate.
          The post-orgasmic chill washed over them as they lay in the sun. Moment lingered. Neither could think of much to say, but it had to be said, so eventually Sephiroth rolled to face the rookie.
          “One kiss,” he reminded them. Both of them. “You promised this was going to be one kiss, Cloud. And we won’t talk about it or ever bring this subject back again. Agreed?”
           “You .. You know my name?” stuttered the boy. His huge green eyes were alight again and the face as astounded as he usually looked.
           “Don’t be a moron.”

Stickers and posters and business-cards, oh my ...


Still unable to open the second shop. But I'm getting a bit bored by now with just making the designs. I am genuinely curious if people buy quotes to frame. Someone even suggested inspirational slogans, I think it was Tinka or someone, to add onto the business cards. Ah, dear old customer service, how I will need thee. Can you have chapters of Etsy shit? Or do you need individual shops for all the stuff you don't want to mix? 

Monday 20 April 2020

Okay, so I've been designing business cards all night ...

I am making some in three versions - busy, easy and elegant  - more of this on their IG ;)
