#EroticMusings 2026.10.06 —Week 71 (October 4-10) Characters: Have you ever created characters with desire that persisted beyond death?
Yes. Not big-D Desire as the hashtag might prefer, but little-d immortal desire fitting with the eerie nature of this month's first prompt. The MC is a woman shaman in an SF lost-generation-ship setting. The man was the MC's best friend's bodyguard and man-servant, with a deeper relationship implied. After saving his employer's life, he comes back as the shaman's second guardian whom only the shaman can see—a black leopard being her first. He wants to help the shaman protect her best friend and convincingly talks to his former employer through the shaman as an intermediary, though there are infuriating limitations and things he won't do or say. To the shaman, her guardians exist as if in the room with her—she can see, hear, and physically feel them, but they're ethereal and disappear when they couldn't co-exist or become intransigent.
The reader may grow to question if shaman's guardians are real or whether the woman is delusional but manages her mental illness extremely well. The story touches upon on the psychology of charisma and success as well as the difference between greatness and insanity.

#ScribesAndMakers 2026.10.06 — <On a scale of 0-100, how much conflict (however you personally define it) is necessary for a compelling story?
A question like this requires a qualitative answer but, forced to answer quantitatively, I would guess approximately 31.4157% +/- 10√2, which works out to some, enough, not too much, or the opposite of what the experts say.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.06 — What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?
Practically everything? I don't want to give away the discovery aspect, so I'll pick something not mundane that's also SFW:
Men typically raise their sisters' children.
Which means their nieces and nephews. It isn't uncommon that boys will raise younger sisters, or cousins of first and second degree. The tradition causes considerable angst in the WIP.
To be clear, this is a normal gender role. Men grow up expecting this.
Blue—One of Bolt's LIs and the man with whom she's most comfortable—is already supervising his teenage sister who is a scatterbrain nerd with little common sense. He's doing this while being trained as a praetorian (a rare and special job), while occasionally working as what looks to our eyes to be a type of (male) geisha. Bizarrely, to our eyes perhaps, he's increasingly certain that were his sister to become pregnant he'd willingly give up his hard-won jobs to raise her children. In his society's terms and in Bolt's eyes, he is a very masculine guy.

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 157
Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.
Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following videos I found.
#1 Popcorn in Bed’s X-Men movie reaction videos – I enjoy watching the movie reaction videos posted by Popcorn in Bed. For the most part, Cassie and her sister Carly (who joined her many times in reaction videos) are pretty reactive to the movies they saw for the first time ever regardless of genre. Recently, I replayed watching their reaction videos of the live-action, X-Men movies (the main ones specifically) from 2000’s X-Men to 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Each X-Men reaction video of theirs is fun to watch and I noticed how Cassy and Carly discovered who the characters are, familiarized themselves with them, and still succeeded on following the stories even though there were so many characters in each film. That said, I encourage you all to watch their videos below.

#2 The Sherman Oaks Galleria today – You may not have visited the Sherman Oaks Galleria in California, but you might have seen it in films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Chopping Mall, Commando, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Indeed, the said shopping mall was used as a location in the movies and given the fact that a lot of shopping malls across America have closed down, revisiting the Sherman Oak Galleria’s legacy is both nostalgic and even educational. To find out what the Sherman Oaks Galleria looks like today, watch the video below. Tell me if you can recognize the malls spots that appeared in movies.
https://youtu.be/UvRplNA1Uyo?si=DZbPdRzaPo1ClufT
#3 Magic Johnson’s 1996 Comeback as a Lakers Player – Looking back at the career of Magic Johnson, the 1990s was a series of drastic changes about him. He quickly retired in 1991 because he had Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but returned as a player in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game and represented the United States as a Dream Team members in the Barcelona Olympics. He retired again in 1992 as controversy and protests grew from players over his plan to rejoin the Los Angeles Lakers for the 1992-93 season. He came back to the NBA as Lakers head coach in 1994 winning 5 games and losing 11, and eventually stepped down. In 1996, he came back as a player for the Lakers taking a new role as a power forward. Magic Johnson’s presence on the basketball courts looked exciting on face value but there was a lot of tension behind the scenes and even division among the Lakers. To discover what happened, watch the video below.
https://youtu.be/G_bJs-BPS6A?si=n74PFOcHHj2Go0dh
#4 Eels to eat in Japan – I enjoy eating Unadon, the classic Japanese dish that has eel (unagi) grilled in the kabayaki way and served in a rice bowl. I had Unadon during my visits to Japan and in Japanese restaurants (both locally and overseas). Eels are truly popular in Japan. Even though supply constraints of live eels are felt by consumers and businesses, somehow the Japanese food joints found ways to secure enough of them and offer them to hungry customers in creative ways. Watch and learn from the Nippon TV video below.
https://youtu.be/x3MWX7DqF9M?si=azaxs9yrP-_Yoeo0
#5 Retro World Expo 2026 – I always wanted to attend a retro gaming convention in America. I saw this video about Retro World Expo 2026 which took place in Connecticut and it was enjoyable to see. There is nothing like playing classic arcade games and classic console/computer games running on their original hardware. Watch the video below.
https://youtu.be/NyMT0p1qk_8?si=FJX-b0F0VfFb8Adz
#6 You, Me and the Movies react to Resident Evil: Degeneration – If you are a fan of the Resident Evil games and movies, do you really enjoy watching the computer-generated Resident Evil movies? Back in 2008, the pure-CGI movie Resident Evil: Degeneration was released in cinemas and there was some excitement for it among RE enthusiasts as it had fan-favorite characters Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Not only that, RE fans who were disappointed with the Milla Jovovich-led live-action movies wanted to see RE movies that were more connected with the games they enjoyed. You, Me and the Movies recently posted their reaction video about Resident Evil: Degeneration and it is a must-watch.
https://youtu.be/hikyGLzHxoc?si=0QSD30IM7xovSDGp
#7 Ashleigh Burton reacts to The Transformers: The Movie – Finally, Ashleigh Burton saw the animated classic The Transformers: The Movie and posted her reaction video of it. It is nice that the animated movie got featured by her as this year marks its 40th anniversary. Go watch her video now! It’s fun to watch.
https://youtu.be/fNvouP3etMA?si=V5bgOpCH-zIu8C9J
#7 Deathmate and the 1990s comics revisited – As a long-time comic book reader, I personally witnessed the presence and impact of the Deathmate crossover comic books in 1993. The Deathmate comics published by Valiant were released on time while those from Image Comics really arrived late. Local comic book collectors near me had no excitement for Deathmate even though famous artists like Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio participated in it in various degrees. The video below is very comprehensive with its focus on not just Deathmate but also the comic book speculator boom, the 1990s comics trends, the intrigue behind the scenes and more. Watch the video now.
