#the inherent eroticism of canes

[eldritchmochi]

I think I can also attest to the erotic cane litmus test.

I was with someone who I thought I was going to date - we were in a pre relationship if you will. We agreed we might go on a date at some point but wouldn’t push it and if we wanted to he friends we could be.

We were sat on the beach and I had my cane beside me. They took it, and I was goddamn mortified.

I said ‘can I have that back please?’

They said ‘But your not using it’

I tried to explain like they just took my left leg and they gave it back eventually but didn’t understand why it freaked me out so much, but she put it up to a learning experience.

This is what killed that pre relationship for me.

I will only let people I 100% trust touch my glasses and my cane. My current girlfriend has a cane too. :)

oh man that would me *horrible* im so sorry. at least with my work crush, there had definitely previously been many instances of me asking him to hold it for a sec while I used both hands, etc, so there was already that show of trust even if he doesnt quite know thats what it was. bitch definitely knows I'm horny for both him and my cane tho so the way he touches it *has* to be intentional flirting lmao

someone im unfamiliar with touching my cane without consent is suuuuch a big red flag tho, im glad you listened to ur gut on that and im glad she (it sounds like) learned from it but man, shudders

10 Questions Tag Game

I was tagged by @direful​ !

Rules: Answer the 10 questions, ask a different 10 questions, and tag 10 people 

How many songs are on your longest playlist? What’s it for?

I think my longest playlist is about 250 songs? it’s my road trip playlist for long-ass drives. other than that my longest playlist is about 35 songs and it’s for Vanes!

What is the most recent thing you’ve made?

I made a shirt back in January for a con! I wasn’t super happy with it tho so I need to remake it

If you could meet any author, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

definitely Terry Pratchett. he was the most formative author of my childhood, and he’s the reason I want to be a writer. I would’ve liked to thank him for being so wonderful 

What movie did you watch as a kid that became a fixture of your personality?

The Princess Bride absolutely made me who I am today. swords? pirates? chivalry? the inherent eroticism of devotion??? bitch

What’s your ideal look?

tight pants, puffy shirt, tall boots, rapier, COVERED in knives. alternately just full fuckin goth with a long coat and cane.

Do you collect anything? If so, what?

I collect daggers but they’re pricey so I also supplement it with a collection of fossils and weird lapel pins

What’s your favorite random factoid that you don’t get to mention often?

I got stabbed during a production of Romeo and Juliet when I was 17. we weren’t using prop knives and I was playing Mercutio. I got nicked in the side during my death scene but I kept going until the end of my speech bc, like, Live Theatre TM. I bled all the way through my doublet.  

What is one of your favorite poems?

I’m cheating and giving two bc I can’t pick. I’ve always really loved Eldorado by Poe and Kubla Khan by Coleridge 

What do you absolutely adore that people may not be able to guess?

I absolutely love chickens. they’re little bastards and I love having them.

If you could live anywhere in the world, and at any time in history, where and when would you choose?

for simplicity’s sake we’re going to pretend homophobia didn’t exist. I wanna live in either pastoral Ireland in the 1880s or in San Francisco in the 1910s. 

my questions:

what is your go-to warm beverage when you’re feeling cozy?

what is your most niche hyperfixation?

who is your favorite poet?

what is something unusual you have extremely strong opinions about?

what piece of media shaped you most as a person?

design your ideal outfit!

I tag @poetatertot, @disloyal-water-of-buffaloes, @cosmik-cosmo, @dexadin, @thegreyangel, @inkwingart, and @da1337one bc I don’t know that many people LMFAO. do it if you want but no pressure

forgot my cane in my buddy's car when he dropped me off last night which a) damnit but also b) ..... whoops new kink

the inherent eroticism of someone else handling my cane, this extension of my body that is both so visible and yet so intimate. sure, its pretty common for strangers to "help" me by picking my cane up when i drop it, but that is very much a thing done out of pity, not something kind or fond or understanding of the importance of my cane

and im really glad i had that realization to a *picture* because i think i woulda absolutely horny blue screened if i had opened the door cold to seeing this dude, who is aggressively my type and also unbelievably kind, standing there leaning on *my* cane like he had every right to

[eldritchmochi]

Hi its the anon that keeps poking you about cs again! All of those ideas are great and just so the pain of fanfic often sort of being what would be a novel first draft by being episodic, but I feel like you could so weave in a tonne of this stuff past now anyway. Especially the cane leaning, im a cane user too and I totally get it, how my partner handles my cane is just.... it feels different to anyone else. Like they get to touch my body differently to anyone else and that applies to my cane too since that really sort of a part of my body??

the inherent eroticism of ur partner touching u(r cane) i should make a zine about this lmao

rn i am considering how much if any retouching i wanna do of the existing 260k of coping skills cos yeah, the struggle of fanfic essentially being the first draft of a novel. usually it doesnt get me too bad since a) i generally fully complete a fic before posting so i do have a chance to go back and adjust things here and there & 2) i really havent ever cared to redraft something in the more traditional sense and iii) i basically never write things over 100k let alone anything substantially over 100k

one of the options im considering would involve a fairly big overhaul where i pull out the individual arcs and flesh em out with additional scenes for better pacing, and then repost as a series with shorter individual fics (with the og in tact as is, just with a note). ive had several people tell me theyve balked at the length of this damned fic, especially since its barely half done plot wise for JUST this specific already plotted chunk of the whole shebang. it has quite possibly gotten a smiiiidge out of control lmao but its been a great learning experience and i am Determined to finish it

however, i am ALSO considering filing the serial numbers off this fic once its done. i absolutely plan on redrafting the whole thing with a bunch of developmental editing work so the end result would almost certainly be a very different form of the story from the fic as it is now. im still unsure of how much of the rework i have in my head i want to put on the internet as Coping Skills: The Fic tho. its really important to me that, whatever i end up doing, i keep this monster available on the internet as a fanfic cos i am well aware of how much it means to a lot of folks

at the same time though theres a lot of backend stuff i could build into the cs2.0 idea that would make writing the rest of the story a LOT easier, which would make dev edits and redrafting easier bc ill be starting with something that has more structure, etc

theres balance somewhere i just haven't found it yet, HOWEVER im absolutely gonna be stuck til i figure it out. im a plantser when it comes to plot, im more than happy to figure out the path to a fairly nebulous endgoal, but i struggle to write stuff if i dont have a good idea of the overall structure of how i tell the story, like pattern of pov shifts and theming, which definitely got a bit away from me the last like 80k lmao

[eldritchmochi]

Just saw your post about the inherent eroticism of someone else like.... handling your cane when they care about you, and like 100% with you, I dont need mine all the time and definitely not super frequently at home, but my partner hears me struggling and just shows up with it so I can get out of bed and just goes to make tea?? The casualness, the flirty implication of like well now you can follow me chase me etc etc good stuff

hnmmg yes exactly. like, its a moment of trust to hand ur cane to someone to hold when you need it or like, *ask* them to fetch it for you, but when they do it themselves? HOT 🔥🔥🔥

i dont think ive actually mentioned on the internet but last week, i glanced over to see my work crush needed into the cabinet i had leaned my cane against and instead of moving it like he usually does, i found it casually tucked between his legs the way i hold it. friend, i got *nothing* done that morning
