NSFW: DIY woodworking, frank BDSM and rough sex talk, and Christian blasphemy.
Last sunday I made an accessory to bondage play, with a sacrilege twist. It’s since been stress-tested and it’s holding together extremely well even for a prototype.
It started with an idea I got from a friend who’s into succubus-fantasy play. She said she’d had a fantasy of playing a succubus who seduces a humble priest. I asked what if the priest turns it around, and “exorcises” the succubus by forcing them to wear a huge cross while the priest dominates them?
I had some spare good-quality 25mm hardwood dowel and various metal attachment hardware kicking around. This was the concept, and once I laid them on the floor I knew instantly that I hit on a fun idea.
Assembly was very simple. A bit of work with my new favourite tool, wood glue and dowel pins, lots of rounds of sanding and staining with a body-safe stain, and fitting the metal hardware and it was done. Super easy.
At first I was planning to do solid black, but as I did the multiple rounds of sanding and staining, I found I really liked the weathered look.
Of course I wanted the design to be symmetrical, so that the cross could either be right-side-up or upside-down depending on the play mood. It’s roughly 30cm long excluding the metal hardware.
An anthology series set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. Each episode is the story has travelling warriors taking their ease by the fire at night. One of them tells a story. It won’t matter that the stories have no continuity or even need to have the same tone, just that they’re exciting tales of glory.
Making the end-of-season stinger I want could be expensive from a salary perspective, though. Imagine this.
The last episode of the first season. The warrior telling the story of the episode finishes. His audience gives nods of respect for the expert telling of an epic tale. The warrior turns to a hooded figure on his right who hasn’t said a word. The warrior says “Speak, friend. Have you any stories worthy of these men?”
And the hooded figure raises his head, and it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger smirking.
