The Second Station, Christ receives His Cross.

This is in our other church. When the leaky roof was fixed and the damp walls dried out, the place was redecorated and the stations properly cleaned. You can see what's going on in the pictures now.

The Fifth Station, Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus.

A lot of churches were built in the 50s and 60s, and have come to need major maintenance work in the last 20 years. Exmouth is another of them. So while they fixed the roof and redecorated the interior they bought a new set of Stations.

The Fourth Station, Jesus Meets His Mother.

This picture is from France, where they have oil paintings instead of our plaster panels. Unfortunately the government owns the churches and doesn't get them cleaned.

The Third Station, Jesus Falls for the First Time.

This is in the church of St Peter, Prince of Apostles, Budleigh Salterton. It is not Victorian as the parish the church is part of was not established until the end of the 19thC when the town was getting bigger.

Jesus falls the first time.

Two years ago I posted illustrations for the Sacred Mysteries of the Rosary, this year it's going to be Stations of the Cross and Resurrection.

Christ is Condemned.

This first illustration is the first of the new set of Stations of the Cross painted by a local artist for our church.

Because of the latest Tumblr Update regarding Reblogs and Replies

I with be disabling both options, and cross-posting all my longer Original Blog Entries to my Dreamwidth Journal at Capri0mni.dreamwidth.org/.

I will include a link to all such cross-posts at the end of each Tumblr entry. If you wish to converse with me there, you are free to do so anonymously (no need for a Dreamwidth account). Note that all anonymous replies will be screened and invisible to everyone but me until I release them. Your IP address will also be logged. And if you are abusive to myself or anyone else, I will not hesitate to block you.

Because Tumblr has orders of magnitude more traffic, and I couldn't keep up with conversations on both sites simultaneously.

That will be changing as of today.

Yesterday, Tumblr changed the way it organizes conversations, making it more like Twitter, and making it impossible for the author of a post to keep track of who's sharing their work, or what they're saying in reply to it.

(If I wanted a Twitter-like experience, I would have gotten a Twitter account! [or Bluesky, or wherever])

So from here on in, I will be blocking all Tumblr reblogs and replies by default, and cross-posting my longer, more thought-out entries here. I'll put a link to the Dreamwidth versions at the end of the Tumblr posts, so if people want to comment can do so where I can see and filter them.

(I'm currently working on a behemoth of a post on the Bechdel test, and working out other metrics for representing marginalized identities in storytelling (whether fiction or nonfiction) -- most notably, on a personal level, disability representation.

Go here to watch the performance

I've just watched it and it's great!

Excellent cast all round, great costumes (Gatwa looks amazing in his skin tight suit)

I mean, what could possible fail to delight in a show which starts with Gatwa playing  a piano in a ballgown?

Multi-racial cast, loads of laughs, Algernon and Jack definitely have bromance going on, and Oscar Wilde's brilliant script.

 

I think Wilde would have loved this performance as much as I did.

You've got one more day to watch it before the free view comes to an end!

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

snowgrouse: General Gan (The Longest Day in Chang'an) being a handsome motherfucker (Gan hulking)
[personal profile] snowgrouse
Title: Caned
Author: Snowgrouse
Fandom: The Longest Day in Chang'an (2019)
Pairing: Gan Shoucheng/Tan Qi/Right Cavalry Soldiers, a dash of Gan Shoucheng/Jiao (Original Male Character), background Tan Qi/Zhang Xiaojing
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Darkfic, PWP, Hard BDSM, Ravishment, Group Sex
Warnings: For violence (caning until bloodied, including on the genitals) and a very hard and dark ravishment, even if he does force her to orgasm. The Cavalry boys join in with their hands and mouths, and it does get Fucked Up. Jiao also gets tormented a bit on the side. Heed the Ao3 tags.
Length: ~8100 words
Summary: After Tan Qi's dance, General Gan brutalises her with his cane, his prick, his hands and his arse, inviting his men to join in. And all this, they do while Zhang Xiaojing is forced to watch at swordpoint.

A/N: NASTY SHIT! The kind you perverted little fuckers love! Yes, it's another variant Gan has in his head of how he could've, would've, should've Ravished Tan Qi Wildly(TM) in the Right Cavalry courtyard. Pretty heavy and dark, this one, with no CharmingRogue!Gan in sight. So, read at your own risk.



(When Gan returns to stand behind Tan Qi, he takes great pleasure in watching two of his men smacking her buttocks and fingering her pussy and her arse.

Gan gestures to those two men. "Open her arse for me. Two fingers from each of you," he says and spits on the two already in there. "Let's see how many she can take with just spit." He groans with relish, stroking his cock with a firm hand. "But make it slow; give me a little show."

She chokes and gasps with pain as the men obey: brutally, they spit into her and finger her arse open. First, they take turns, each pushing in two fingers at a time, alternating between the two of them; finally, they add more spit, both pushing their fingers in at the same time.

"Yeaaah," they groan dirtily, fucking her with their rough, soldiers' fingers, beating her buttocks so that they glow a bright pink, the welts an angry red; she moans and tosses there in her pain, held in place by the others as they laugh at her struggling. "Look at that," one man says as they tug at the rim of her arse with their fingers. "Such a tight little hole for you, General."

"Yes; this is going to look so nice stretched around his cock," the other chuckles and spits inside her. "Going to take a while for him to get inside such a tiny little arse," he says and hooks his fingers inside of her. "It's going to hurt, honey," he laughs and smacks her buttock. "You should be grateful that he asks us to prepare you like this."

"Will she cry, do you think?" the first man asks. "And beg for him to take it out?"

"Love it when they do that," the other man grins and strokes her pussy with his free hand, pinching her clitoris between two fingers. "Ooh, look how swollen," he chuckles. "Her pussy's all wet," he laughs, dancing his fingers across her glistening folds. "The little slut likes it!"

"Opening up quite nicely," Gan says, pushing two fingers from his right hand inside her pussy and fucking her slowly with them. "You're right; she is very wet, and very hot and soft, too," he purrs, licking her sap off his fingers, then fucking her with them again, now curling them towards the front of her cunny so hard that she wails. "Why is your pussy so wet?" he asks her, laughing. "Hmm? You know, boys, I think we've found another tomboy slut," he says loudly, so that he can be heard over her screams; "the kind who loves getting her arse fucked!"

He's now curling his fingers harder and harder into the soft front wall of her pussy, so hard and so fast that she sloshes; she screams and judders, only for the men to slap her and choke her with their fingers again.

Gan laughs loudly as the curls of his fingers get her pussy to trickle, drops of it spraying upon his gauntlet. "Yes..." he murmurs. "That's what they're all like, all the little tarts who dress up as men," he says. "Once they get fucked like boys by their masters," he smacks her buttock, "they get addicted to sodomy, always hungry for a cock up the arse!"

"We've found you out!" the men laugh dirtily, cooing and making kissy faces at her, squeezing her breasts and slapping her body between stolen kisses. "If it's a prick up the arse you want," they say, "you've come to the right place!"

"Yeah! He never lets them leave here until he's fucked them up the arse!" they cackle. "Girl, you'll be walking out of here gaping!"

Lots of oohing and dirty laughter.

Gan grins. "Soon, my girl," he says, moving his fingers in and out of her pussy. "Soon, I'm going to fill you up."

For All Mankind season 1

 I've just finished the first season of 'For All Mankind'.  Enjoyed it, but I'm puzzled by the season finale.

 

How did Ed manage to get upto the Apollo module and down to the moon again?  And then up again!  

 

Surely there's no way salvaged fuel could power two lunar take-offs, let alone give the course correction for the Apollo module as well?

 

and the way lunar landers worked was for the base part to be left on the moon, in any case. 

Diabetes and iron deficiency....

 Went to see the diabetes nurse today to sort out medication.

I forget how it came up, but apparently iron deficiency can lead to blood sugar readings that look exactly the same as diabetes...

 

So, now booked in for an iron test, just in case it isn't diabetes at all. 

 

Also, skinny people can sometimes get Type 2 diabetes, so I'm not even sure which kind of diabetes I have... But the treatment is the same either way in the early stages, so what the heck.

Dear Unsent Letters creator,

Hello, and thank you for writing for me!

First off, let me assure you that my tastes are really broad. I like everything from heart-warming fluff to full-bore tragedy, and the whole spectrum in between. I also tend to be very character-focused, so while plot is fine, I do regard it as entirely optional and I can be 100% happy with, say, fic that's nothing but two characters talking (or in this case writing, texting, etc.) to each other, or to themselves. Any rating is fine, but when it comes to sex scenes, I prefer them to feel like they're strongly based in the characters, rather than the characters mostly just being there as a vehicle for the porn, if that makes sense. Honestly, I care less about precisely what they're be doing in bed than about whether they feel like themselves while they're doing it.

general likes, DNWs, etc )

My requests: Gravity Falls, Doctor Who (1963), Doctor Who (2005), Disco Elysium )
