Burnout
Three professionals told Sian she was in full burnout last week. It’s not a surprise. Her life feels like she’s fighting a war. She’s in pain all the time. She doesn’t sleep. What can she do? It’s at time like these that embodiment seems more important than ever. Taking pictures of your virtual self brings

Redux 3: The Cyberdoll Manifesto
Imaginary Reader, this is another 18-certificate post. Adults only beyond this point. Catch up, if you need to, with part 1 (the why) and part 2 (the what). Done that (or don’t care)? well, let’s crack on. Ethical CNC, then: is that even a thing? Can that even be a thing? Can we do it

We’re the problem
We freak people out. We’re autistic, we’re weird, we talk about kink stuff and trans stuff and dominance theory all the time. And we freak people out. It’s easy for Sian to blame them. They’re ableist. They’re messed up and they’ve got stuff going on. But what if Sian is the problem? What if she

And Sian felt she should write

Redux 2: Where Do We Get Off?
This follows directly from the last post and it’s the part where we talk about fetishes. Weird fetishes, dark fetishes. This is quickly going to get heavy. It’s redemptive, too, but there are traumatic things that aren’t for kids and aren’t for you if you’re vulnerable or easily offended. That’s not a judgement: some people

Redux 1: Really, though. Why?
It’s come into the conversation again, and honestly there’s an ulterior motive, because Sian needs an easily accessible explanation on her picks: why would Sian put herself through this? Sian is working on the principle that no one who is reading this will be in the dark as to who Sian is, or what Sian’s

Faceless
RL!Sian doesn’t have a face. Oh, sure, you’ll look at her and you’ll see two eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth; she looks perfectly normal to you. But she can’t look in a mirror. She can’t countenance photographs of herself. It’s always been like that: recently she realised that the fact that she doesn’t

What happened to the old site?
The address is the same, but the location is different. Technically, it was a Blogger site, and we were so sick of Google putting it behind two levels of content (you had to be logged in to see adult content, but you also had to get past a warning for “sensitive” content every time you
