  1. CW: EroticMusings 2026.09.13 — Week 68 (September 13-19) Characters: PoV (any character) What's your biggest romantic turn-on? What's your biggest sexual turn-off? CW: Frank discussion. Read the prompt.

    #EroticMusings 2026.09.13

    [Bolt, day angel woman, MC:] Romance is a strange word the way you're using it. You really asking that a man would work to interest me passionately? Romancing him is my prerogative. I'm a woman. A man "romancing" me? That's aggro. Even in these progressive times, that's a bad tactic. Makes me less likely to ride him, 'less he's a good friend and I've been hinting. Kinda shows he didn't pay attention in Men's Studies where guys learn how women work, or… I don't know… he's stupid? I'll admit I'm a bit conservative, not having grown up in the big city. The woman asks, end of question. Him asking out of turn, that's a big turn-off. I don't care if the laws are on a woman's side; men are almost always bigger than me, most always stronger, and it shows a lack of good sense to be pushy. Feels like forcing. Scary. I'll admit I accept hints, but if a man gets uppity, that's a turn-off. I'll be sure he gets a bad reputation for trying that!

    As for me doing the romancing? I admire the male body. Regardless of muscles or soft curves, if he looks like he would be fun and I'm feeling it, I'll hunt him. Biggest turn off? Might be crass, but a guy's… well. How can I put this delicately? I dislike the sense of giving birth backwards. That's an instant no. Average is fine.

  6. #WordWeavers 2026.09.18 — What are three personality strengths your MC has?

    Honest

    This doesn't mean she doesn't lie, but this is only to protect people. It doesn't mean she isn't a criminal; she works for the mob. She won't steal from you, or others, but she will do what she's ordered; that's generally is not stealing, and for other things she will misinterpret nuances to preserve her integrity.

    Learns from mistakes

    She has made so many, she considers herself stupid. She's done things that make her state she's lost all dignity, which helps her do the hard things. She sees her pride as evil, and tries not to be prideful—except of her fitness or her flight skills (well earned).

    Knows to flee not fight

    She can't. Fight, that is. She gets in trouble when she forgets that, but it's always to help another.

  11. #PennedPossibilities 1133: Did your MC attend school? What sort of education did they have?

    Dropped out at the start of her senior year in high school. She was a jock's jock and only got a plus-plus in physical education. She barely passed all the required classes to stay on the Flight and Track team that she captained. (The members were all male.) She did well on physiology and anatomy sections of her science course, and oddly, fairly well at comprehending physics (she's a stunt flier) though her arithmetic was bad enough it didn't help her much. She was good at figure drawing. She really studied the boys, if you get my meaning.

  22. Such a heartbreaking but ultimately positive episode of #DarkMatter today—S2 E04, “Stars, Hide Your Fires”—the best kind of tragedy, the one that edifies as much as it rends. Authentically representing #PTSD symptoms as major plot-drivers. Canonically establishing why “Jason Prime” is the Prime and “Jason Two” will always be second place, no less. So Crowleyan, through every moment down to the episode’s name.

    Perfect moments: Amanda’s face when she dares Jason Two to try; Leighton owning up to being the ultimate charismatic supervillain we can’t help but love; Charlie’s analysis of the “Nighthawks” Edward Hopper painting; Daniela’s dogged, haunted run; Jason Prime’s continued flashbacks.

    #ScribesAndMakers 2026.09.17 — ~Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.

    As you can see looking at the quoted post, the Mastodon consensus was that of rifle, bow and arrow, spaceship, and singularity bomb, that rifle was the object NOT in Reluctant Moon.

    Bang! You're right!

    I almost put lunar colony in the list, but thought better of it. All other items appear in the story. Although the singularity bomb is demonstrated, the narrator hasn't the vocabulary to state that; instead, he describes the launch and the pretty effects of an ionospheric detonation.

    About rifles: Firearms are the most prohibited device in this era because they can be so long range and lead to ills like canons. Whole populations have been killed due to someone creating one, simply to prevent the mere concept of the technology from propagating. The secret prohibition is no joke.
