    v. private deities 2

    (the text of sian’s 2013 voice performance, continued) ii when god, another god, not mine, and possibly not yours, created adam and eve to be her means of adoration, it was because she had been dumped. she sat, six days before the world began, in an Italian restaurant, and the waiters asked if she was

    iv. private deities 1

    (this is the text of a voice performance sian 1.0 conducted at hangars liquides in 2013. sian found it recently and thought that it was actually some of her best writing. it is a meditation on virtual identity, aspiration and connection, because of course it is. sian feels that she might perform it again soon.)

    xx.xy.5 retrospect

      not very long ago, rl!sian found tucked into a copy of michael moorcock’s cornelius quartet a folded piece of a4 on which she had, many years ago, written thoughts about the book, and its queerness. she had long ago forgotten ever having written it.   sian was struck about that young person’s underlying assumptions, notably her

    xx.xy.4 patch notes, first iteration

    hrt day nine, 100mcg estradiol patches: it is far too early for rl!sian to exhibit obvious physical changes. but there are changes already. no one is reading this, so we are going to use this blog as an occasional transition diary. if by some fluke you are reading this, feel [redacted] to skip to the

    xx.xy.3 passing on passing

    the concept of “passing” in trans circles has extreme ambivalence attached to it.  everyone wants to, but at the same time, it does not feel as right as it might do. if you can go out of the door as a trans woman and people will assume you are a woman, it is goals, it

    25.0 heroines of the villain era no.1

    this is the final time sian is going to mention acéphale as a model for sl kink, honestly, but sian wanted to make a post in tribute to her friend m-doll 0809a (formerly known as mona eberhardt), with whom she counted a comrade since the early days of sian 1.0, back in the early 2010s.

    24.0 disabled

    it’s disability pride month.  it is hard to tell if an avatar with a disability in second life has disabilities in the real world because secondlife is the sort of place where you can know someone’s philosophies and desires in the most intimate terms and yet have no idea what their players even look like.

    23.0 theses on the queer villain arc

    the thoughts sian had the other day about bataille have continued to resonate, and sian has told a bunch of people about acéphale now, and blown a fair few minds with it. sian supposes it is time to have a proper think about this. don’t worry. if you are here for the photos, that is just fine.

    xxx.8 you had her at hello

    so one of the things with hypnokink is that you can install a trigger in someone that makes them feel nice, like a little blast of dopamine that makes them all shivery and makes their nervous system go brrrrr. sian doesn’t know how it works, but it works and it’s her favourite thing to do
