but I always season my Sadism
with sugar.
Oh okay. This does something.
It’s been a crazy summer, tumblr.
I was able to spend some time in my old city. I had some fun. Pup and I moved in together, which has been awesome but a ton of work.
Bear with me, I promise to update you all on the stuff I got up to and finish up telling you about that little encounter Leo and I had. Hehe.
Stinging (mostly, usually) gone so hip hip hooray.
I’ve been visiting my old city and I keep accidentally passing the place where I got my nipples pierced. It feels like a whole other lifetime now.
Hi Ivy, is everything alright? I hope you are having too good of a time to update us and that everything is marvelous! Do drop us a line if you can! :)
StandardAll is well, I promise! It’s a very busy time for me right now, but I’ll be back in the loop probably within a week or so.
I had my first orgasm ever today after 20 years of nothing and I’m so excited! I thought I’d never be able to or that I’d need a partner to do it but I did it all by myself! I’m so proud! I’m sure you don’t want to know all that but I’m happy! 😄
StandardHEY. I am happy for you, too! Congratulations! Figuring out your body can be a whole process, it took me forever to understand mine. So kudos to you!!
The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.
Of color. (Don’t ever forget that either!)

You’re just as pretty when I pull you apart. When I push away your petals and expose your tender parts. You’re strong and defiant, a sensitive heart. You’re a finer mess (your tears in your hair) than you were at the start.
I ache to see the places where you’re connected, to find the loose threads that open the seams. It makes me wet to watch you spill for me. Split open and soft for me. I love to watch you bloom.
