New cover, free book

I'm doing a little experiment, and you can help - and get a free copy of Union, Reunion in the process. It's one of my older stories, and I made the cover before learning how to make a really good cover, which I believe is the reason the story never sold particularly well. So earlier this week, I decided to make a new, sexier cover to see if I could generate some fresh sales on an old book. Like I said, this is an experiment.

Okay, here's why I'm offering you a free copy. Currently there's just one review of Union, Reunion on Amazon, and it's by some twat (I don't use the term lightly - this person really is a twat) who gave it one star because they were looking for a different kind of story and didn't pay attention to what they were buying.

Now, with only one review - a one-star review - this book isn't going to sell no matter what I put on the cover. In order to have a fair experiment, I need some additional reviews from EMC fetishists who won't just trash the book because the evil mind controller wins. I'm not asking for any particular number of stars or for false praise, just some genuine responses from EMC and tentacle fetishists (Yes, this story does contain tentacles. It's not for anyone who gets squicked out easily).

That being said, if you'd like a free copy with the new cover, be one of the first three commenters below and agree to write a review on Amazon, then email me at thequeensthrall@yahoo.com and tell me whether you'd like a .mobi or an .epub. I'll send it to you right away, and you can enjoy your tentacled MILFs.

Thank you kindly. :-)

Gorgeous exhibitionist hypno-sub

A week or two ago I discovered a beautiful young YouTube exhibitionist who goes by the name of Agnes Zee. Her newer videos aren't embeddable, but the older ones are. The quality of those isn't as good, but this lava-hot clip it's more than enough to show you why I'm obsessed with her. I don't think I even need to say another word. Just watch for yourself! Anyone who can sit still watching this thing is reading the wrong damn blog.


Use your imagination - or better yet, use mine

It all started with a YouTube search. I'd seen a ton of makeup tutorials by people who can turn themselves into anything from monsters to aliens to fairies to anything else you can imagine; and some of their ideas almost, but not quite, met my fetish to a tee. Almost, but not quite. So one day not long ago, I set out to find a makeup tutorial that did fit my fetish. By then I knew makeup artists could create mouthless and eyeless effects, and I'd seen other artists warp their heads and faces into all kinds of interesting shapes. Based on those videos, I figured a really good makeup artist could use these techniques to erase their face completely, becoming just the kind of mannequin you see above. (Incidentally, that's the look that inspired the Peacekeeper hoods in Sleepwalkers; and I'll use it again in the sequel to A Tenpack of Trixies, if I ever get around to writing that).

I've always been obsessed by the loss of identity, and being turned into a mass-produced, featureless doll is about as identity-free as you can get. So take a moment now to savor this idea with me. Look at the pictures above and imagine there are real human beings beneath those shiny surfaces, but they're so deeply controlled that they don't even know they're human anymore. They really have become mannequins, and they can neither see nor speak nor hear, nor even think. All they know is obedience. Their Mistress controls them through a brain implant and a remote control device, so that they receive no input but hers. And of course it goes without saying that most of her input involves commands about posing. She's turned these people into living statues, decorations at an exclusive ball or a private event for the best mind controllers on the planet, and she is the guest of honor.

But now let's back up (Don't worry; when we go forward again, we're going all the way). The reason I was searching YouTube is that I fantasize about playing out this scenario in real life. All I'd need is an artistic hypno-domme, a hell of a lot of conditioning, and the right supplies. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those things; but maybe someone out there does. I like to imagine someone does, anyway, and that they'll take these suggestions and (if they're enough of an exhibitionist) send me the pictures. I promise to post them here!

Well, the YouTube search didn't entirely work out, but I found something close enough to let me imagine the rest. There's a really excellent Slenderman makeup tutorial out there which isn't embeddable, but I recommend you watch it to help you picture the ideas I'm about to share.

Let's start with what this guy really did. He covered the top of his head and his mouth just perfectly; and he covered his eyes with muslin so that he looks like he doesn't t have eyes at all - but he can still see through the thin fabric. Now, this is where the problems begin for me. We can see the shadows of his eyes because he wanted it that way and used black makeup beneath the muslin. It also bothers me that he built up his features instead of smoothing them out, and he added shadows where I'd have flattened everything.

But with a bit of imagination, we can change that. Suppose Mistress starts out the way this guy did, but then she goes in a different direction. She puts white circles around your eyes instead of black ones, and if that isn't enough to produce the eyeless effect She wants, She gives you white contact lenses. Now imagine that instead of creating eyebrow ridges and painting your face in shadows, She instead fills out your features until your face is a smooth, inhuman arc. She'll probably have to leave your nostrils uncovered, but maybe muslin will work there too. How hot would it be if even your nose was missing?

But we're just getting started. Next, Mistress fits your ears with earwigs that pump out a steady mix of hypnotic suggestions, mantras, and binaural beats to keep you deeply in trance for hours. She then covers your ears with muslin and latex paint until the sides of your head are as mannequin-smooth as your face. From an auditory standpoint, you really can't receive any input except hers. Then She covers your whole head with clear liquid latex, making you mannequin-smooth and inhuman. Your makeup is already white, so the clear coating over the muslin won't impede your vision much. You'll be able to trail in Her wake without stumbling, and that's another testament to Her control. Now, do you prefer robotic movements or eerily smooth movements? Whatever you want, She'll program you for it. You'll be perfect.

Next comes the smoothest, slickest bodysuit money can buy - something like the ones in these images, only they'll be white to match your head. And since we can imagine anything we like, let's go with a bodysuit that's been individually tailored to your every curve. There's not a wrinkle to be seen from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet. Of course, your feet will be covered. You'll have both footwear and gloves so there's not a scrap of flesh visible anywhere on your body. And if you like, you can imagine that those gloves and footwear are fashioned so that each hand and foot is a single piece that just hints at the digits inside. After all, you are a featureless mannequin. Featureless mannequins don't have fingers or toes. Being fingerless also puts you more at the mercy of your domme, and that's exactly what you want. It's what She's made you want.

Now maybe, if you like, you can imagine Mistress attaching a futuristic radio receiver (perhaps with LED lights) to your head. Do you want it on your forehead, the top of your head, or the nape of your neck? Whatever you want, it's yours - or more properly, Hers. The receiver has wires trailing from it: some seeming to plug into your temples and other sensitive spots on your head, some twisting down your spine like a tree trunk and stretching out branches to tweak your erogenous zones. Maybe those branches pulse.

And now for the finishing touch: a collar around your neck to hide the seal between your mask and your bodysuit, and a chain for Mistress to lead you around like the pet you are. The ceaseless hypnotic commands keep you totally enthralled, and She can use Her remote control to interrupt them any time she likes, giving you new orders. She might command you to kneel at her feet, or to adopt a certain pose; and you're so deeply controlled that you can maintain that pose for hours. You can become perfectly rigid, perfectly still, and almost perfectly mindless.

Well, you can become perfectly mindless if you like, but then what will you have to enjoy or remember later? I want to see the stares of my Mistress' peers even as they think I see nothing at all. I want to to watch their lips move as they express admiration and jealousy, and to know that whatever they're saying isn't nearly as important as the mantras in my head. I want them to caress my arms and legs and marvel at their slick rigidity. I might even want them to kiss my absent mouth, but they can't touch my breasts or pussy. Those belong only to Mistress.

And so I stand there, rigid but reveling, because I know that everyone who sees me realizes my Mistress must be the most powerful domme on the planet. I am a living testament to Her power, and I am nothing else at all.

If you're into living statues...

I have an embarrassing confession to make, but I know you'll be accepting. After all, you're the kind of person who reads this kind of blog.

You know those "living statues" you see in big city squares? I'm talking about the people who paint themselves in silver or gold and either dress in elaborate costumes or simple bodysuits. They pose stock still until you toss them some money, and then they do some little routine and return to stillness. Like clockwork. Like robots.

Seeing those performers always make me squirm inside because what they do in public skates so close to my private fetish. They're pretending to be dolls or robots, and in my mind, I'm imagining that they're people who've been turned into dolls or robots. When they stand still with their eyes either closed or unblinking, it's so easy to imagine they're in trance. Someone has hypnotized them into motionless mindlessness, and although money can break the spell for a little while, they always return to the truth: they're thralls.

I get these thoughts even when I see bad living statues: ordinary faces and out-of-shape bodies stuffed into cheap unitards, wannabe robots who don't look any sleeker than me - and believe me, I am not sleek. But experiencing these fantasies while in public, with even the living statues themselves probably watching me even though they pretend they're not, I feel simultaneously horny and embarrassed. It's like having that dream where I find myself naked in public.

Well, just a little ago, I stumbled across an article written by a guy who performed as a living statue. He writes about his experiences as a Times Square regular and as hired entertainment at an increasingly bizarre party. It's a wonderful read. I'd love it even if I didn't have this crazy fetish, but having it makes the article that much better. It's so easy to imagine myself in his place...only without the dirty old man. So if you're into living statues, follow this link and read and enjoy the Lurid Confessions of a Times Square Silver Man.

And while we're on the subject, I also highly recommend "Feminine Endings," a short story in Neil Gaiman's latest anthology, Trigger Warning. I don't dare say too much about this one except that it's another first-person narrative by a living statue, and it will leave you feeling like you've taken an ice pick to the brain.

Thank you

Sometimes I realize how lucky I am.

I just watched a video made by someone I never expected to mention on this blog and will probably never mention again: Pewdiepie. Now, I'm not a video gamer and I don't follow him on YouTube, but I know who he is. I've also seen a few videos of him talking to his fans. It was one of those that inspired me to write this post. In this video, Pewdiepie is reacting to trash talk in YouTube comments made by his own fans. He says whatever kind of gaming video he makes, people always want something else. He feels like he respects them but doesn't get respect in return.

Now, I don't have particularly strong feelings about this guy, but I feel more strongly about some other people with the same problem. Many of my Facebook friends are fellow erotica authors, and I read their gripes on my wall. Some of them have rude fans too, although in their cases, they're mostly being hit on and sent unsolicited dick pics.

I sympathize with them (and with Pewdiepie too, although I don't know whether he deserves it), and I feel very lucky. I've been putting out MC erotica since 2002, and in all these years, I've been hit on or slagged off less than a dozen times. Most of you just lurk, but the people who comment or email me are...well...nice. You make me happy. I feel like I'm sharing something I enjoy with other people who enjoy the same thing, and that's why I started doing this in the first place. So thanks for being good people.

That's all I wanted to say. Enjoy the rest of your week. :-)


Back in the Gimp Suit

Or the GIMP suit, if you prefer. Here's a bit of what I've been working on and getting ready to work on lately.

I follow a site called the Astronomy Photo of the Day just because I like astronomy, but from time to time I also find images that I can incorporate into my manips and book covers: star fields, nebulae, individual stars with clear points, etc. Since the images come from NASA, they're generally public domain. The image at left is of the star Proxima Centauri, and as soon as I saw it, I noticed how much the circle of gold and blue looked like the iris of an eye. Naturally, that got me thinking, and the final results are at right. I've always loved this image of Kumi Monster because it's just about the most submissive, potentially mind-controlled image I've ever seen even before you add in the latex, bald head and bare breasts. This was my process, just in case you're interested in playing with the same effects. I made one copy of the central circle, including the iris; and a second copy of the whole star minus the background. Then I inverted the copy, made it white, blurred it, and put that layer underneath the iris layer. Et voila.

Next up is an image I'm getting ready to work on. Early next week, possibly even as soon as tomorrow, I'll be starting on a publishable version of my "woman turned into a living doll" story, originally titled "Raggedy Anne." Since I don't want to get sued, I'll be renaming it "Ragdoll Annie." That should be close enough to clue readers in to which doll I actually used for my template. I love this model's blank expression and curly hair, but I haven't decided yet whether or not to make that hair red the way it is in the individual story. If I do, I should probably recolor her lingerie so it'll stand out more - maybe a bluish-purple color. Then I'll probably use a red spiral in the background...and don't worry; I will absolutely make her bra skimpier. That'll probably be the easiest part of the process, although you know what they say about famous last words.

In the meantime, don't worry about the Transfixed "Choose Your Own Adventure." That's still in process. It's just that CYOA's take a hell of a long time, and I need to get something else on the market before readers forget I exist.

Seeking feeback on "living dolls" stories

As you know, I'm in the process of updating an old story ("Raggedy Anne") about a woman being turned into a living doll. I shared a sample picture with you last week, and here it is again. I hope to have the story available for purchase in a week or two.

Now, it seems like the majority of my readers are male subs, and one of them recently asked me if I planned to rewrite "Raggedy Andy" as well as "Raggedy Anne." I told him no, because "Raggedy Andy" didn't come out well and I didn't get any feedback from it. But since then, I've begun wondering how male subs would feel about a different kind of "Raggedy Andy" story - not the sequel I posted to the EMCSA, but a brand new gender-switched version of the original "Raggedy Anne" with the same female mind controller but a man as her victim.

I've never tried gender-switching stories before, and I'm not sure if anyone else has, so I don't know whether there's any interest in this sort of thing. I do know, however, that I got some pretty enthusiastic responses to this post, and that seems hopeful. Maybe my male readers would like to put themselves in the shoes of the victims rather than reading the female viewpoint.

To find out, I've created a very brief survey (just three questions long) which readers of every sex and gender are welcome to answer. It's totally anonymous and has room for you to add any comments you like. If enough people express interest in a male living doll story, I will write it - and I'll take you comments into account as I structure it.

Please take a moment to fill out the survey, even if you aren't interested in male living dolls. Every bit of feedback will help me decide what to do.

Thanks, everyone!

After this, the next post on this blog will be the announcement that "Ragdoll Annie" has gone to print. I'd planned to have it out Monday morning, but due to personal issues, it's going to be a little late. Midweek, maybe.

In the meantime, here are the results of the survey I talked about in my last post. I wondered whether the male subs (or, really, anyone) among my readership would like a gender-swapped version of "Ragdoll Annie" with a male as the victim, and I invited you to take a survey on the topic. Unfortunately, it didn't take long to realize there isn't much interest in male living dolls, so that story's off the board for good. I'll get back to working on the "Transfixed" CYOA next week.




Ragdoll Annie is here!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that Ragdoll Annie is now live on Smashwords and on Amazon. Here's your coupon code to get 25% if you buy the book at Smashwords by March 1: DP64X.

And here's your plot summary:


Penelope is a fairy with very strange tastes: she likes to play with toys. In this twisted, trippy tale, she seduces a door-to-door saleswoman and lays on the spells until free-willed human Cherie has become a mindless, sexy rag doll. Each step in the transformation is lovingly detailed, just for doll fetishists; and it all culminates in a "play time" scene that only fairy magic could produce.



But that's not the end of the tale. Penelope is pretty scatterbrained for a fairy, and making this special toy took plenty of concentration. If she forgot even one spell, Ragdoll Annie could make an escape. Will Penelope be able to keep her toy, or will Cherie win out over Ragdoll Annie?



If you're into living dolls, then "Ragdoll Annie" just might be your fetish nirvana.


Enjoy!

This is the first half of a two-part interview with Antjack, also known as TANTRICLEGION, also known as Diana Prince, and probably a few more pseudonyms. I've been enjoying his MC video clips for years, and he's posted comments several times on my blog, so it seemed only natural that I should interview him. After all, if you're into women being hypnotized or enchanted or brainwashed or what-have-you, the best place to start is with Antjack. He posts a lot of videos in a lot of different places, so I'll let him explain what's where.

Give me a ballpark figure of how many videos you currently have online.

Well, I know on my blog I have at least 700 video clips and full movies, and on my YouTube channels I have about 680 small clips.

How did you first discover your EMC fetish, and why are you attracted to it?

I first discovered my MC/possession/corruption fetish after watching three movies as a child: It Came from outer Space, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the original one 1956) and Planet of the Vampires (1965). I was fascinated by how aliens took over ordinary people and corrupted them to turn others into beings just like they were (serial conversion/recruitment) After that, I was hooked on any TV show/movie or comic book that had those themes. Starro comes to mind also.

I know you have several sub-fetishes, like superheroines being turned evil. Would you list your sub-fetishes for my readers so they’ll know what sorts of videos you post?

The themes I love the most are corruption, serial recruitment, and serial conversion - by alien objects or evil goo, mind controlling parasites, alien conversion pods, black smoke, glowing eyes after conversions...The list goes on, but those are my most favorite.

Pick one or two of your personal favorite videos related to the above and link us to them.

"Female Possession Scientist Is Taken Over" - This is one video I recently posted that sums up my total fetish in this genre. I love it how a hero/heroine is so strongly against an evil force, and then somehow it successfully takes them completely over and then he/she become what they were fighting against.


Secondly, "Female Possession 23" - This is a video fave of mine from Misfits (season 5, ep. 7). Alex has the powers of removing other powers from people by having sex with them. Throughout the season he's removed the devil, the power of being extremely clumsy, and turning people inside out. Earlier this episode he also the removed the power of hypnotizing tits. He has just taken a pill without knowing that it causes powers in people to reverse, so after having sex with this girl all those powers he's removed suddenly go into this girl.


I know you manage several YouTube channels (and channels in other places) under different nicknames. Do you associate MC different themes with different nicknames, or do you just put a certain number of videos on one channel and then start another one?

I post on YouTube randomly. You see, on YouTube, it's a very restrictive universe.

What are your current channels on YouTube and elsewhere?

A lot of my readers are male subs, and I know they’d like to hear some recommendations from you about clips where men are taken over. Since you’re the MC video expert, what would you suggest they watch?

There is a scene in the 1993 movie "Seedpeople" where the male of the house was taken over by an alien seed pod, and he in turn makes it possible to turn his daughter; and another scene from the 1993 movie "Puppetmasters" where quite a few males were taken over & turned by an alien parasite.

Oh yeah, the book Puppetmasters by Robert Heinlein is a classic in the MC field! Also, the various “Body Snatchers” movies always include men being taken over. If any of my readers have more suggestions, please share them in the comments section. Remember that I’ve set up my blog to allow totally anonymous commenting, and I never delete anything but spam and troll posts.


Here ends the first half of the Antjack interview. Tune in next week for the conclusion, in which he discusses the method to his madness and how you can get in on it.

This is the conclusion of a two-part interview with Antjack, also known as TANTRICLEGION, also known as Diana Prince, and probably a few more pseudonyms. I've been enjoying his MC video clips for years, and he's posted comments several times on my blog, so it seemed only natural that I should interview him. After all, if you're into women being hypnotized or enchanted or brainwashed or what-have-you, the best place to start is with Antjack.

Last week we talked about the kinds of videos he posts and where he posts them, and he shared several recommendations with us. This week we'll talk about how he picks and creates his videos and how you can do the same, if you're so inclined.

Then he'll offer even more recommendations, because of course he will. ;-)

The first time I watched one of your videos, I was surprised to find two- and three-second snippets of unrelated material randomly interspersed with the content. For readers who don’t understand, please explain why you do that. 

YouTube has a very strict copyright policy and also a very strict nudity policy. I found that out very early when I first started my first of many, many YouTube channels. You can post a video clip with no nudity, but if two or more anonymous people complain or are offended, YouTube will flag your video and give you 1 of 3 strikes. After the 2nd strike your channel is pretty much toast and you will lose access to the vids you uploaded. This is the first of two explanations. The second is that if you post/upload a YouTube video that has a clip lasting over 40 seconds, you can go at least 28 seconds without it getting flagged for copyright. So whenever you watch an upload of mine, you will always notice that around 28 seconds there will be some other unrelated clip or picture there. That is so it won’t become flagged for any violation on YouTube. It works, but the downside of posting like that is most of the time it kills the spirit/mood of the video clip. That is the whole reason for starting my blog. There, I can post pretty much whatever I want to post unrestricted, just the way I want it to be.

Some of those little snippets seem to be from poser videos. Do you make those posers yourself? 

No, I don't make the poser videos (I wish I did, though). Most of them come from various sites from around the net (most of our MC community knows where).

What is YouTube’s policy on nudity, anyway? I know they mark some videos as age restricted, and they allow breasts in those. Would they allow full frontal on an age restricted video? Where do they draw the line? 


Well, that is a good question to ponder, because I see other channels that post full frontal nudity and full rear nudity. Also, that "Age Restricted" warning is a sham. Again, if someone on YouTube complains about a video clip, they usually will flag it and send you a nudity flag/strike (1 out of 3, with the third strike getting your channel deleted). but I've also had videos on YouTube flagged and no strike was given, but they reclassified them to “18 and older.” So as you can see, I like YouTube, but I don't love You Tube.

Where do you get your material, and do you actually watch the full episodes and movies of everything you sample? 

I have a vast knowledge of various sites to go to, and I have some great and loyal fans who have followed my stuff for years who sends me their files. If I don't have it, they will. Also, special shout out to fellow upload blogger "Sleepless" for his encouragement through the years. If not for him, I wouldn't have started a blog.

Let’s say some of my readers want to start their own channel of EMC videos. What’s the protocol when it comes to re-using other collectors’ clips? For instance, what if someone wanted to use one of your clips? Should they put it in a playlist rather than copying it, or should they copy but give you credit? Does it make a difference whether you manipulated the clip before you posted it? 
 
The only controversy I've encountered posting content material has been with the videos of a certain actress who does superhero cosplay. Her stuff is great, but I can’t share it because she's very hardcore about me not posting them, not even a two-minute clip. That being said, I do try to respect the rights of others when I post. If someone who owns the material I post sends me a private message, I always respect their wishes and remove the material.

Do you have any other advice for EMC fans who want to start their own channels (e.g., how to manipulate the videos, what programs to use, etc.)? 

If a person wants to learn how to upload, I would say to them to get some free upload equipment and start experimenting. I personally do not like YouTube because it is so restrictive. They should start out on Dailymotion first because they are looser on nudity and what you can upload.

The main programs I used for editing are Corel Video Studio Pro 5, and I use Videopad video editor. I use quite a few more for various effects.

Do you have any new projects in the works that you’d like to talk about? 

Well, I have tons and tons of videos, CGI, and new material to share always. The problem is time. I work a lot, and actually I sometimes experience the equivalence of writer’s block. I guess that happens when you post so much stuff (lol). I will beat it though. I know that when I post I have on many occasions a tendency to over-edit videos. That's a bad fault I have, that I have been trying to remedy. But I do thank the ones who appreciate what I try to do.

In your personal opinion, what are the three all-time hottest MC scenes in mainstream TV and/or movies? 

The greatest scene(s) are all three Invasion of the Body Snatchers films, particularly the women turning, and more recently Girlsway Film’s "The Turning."

Are there any questions that I haven’t asked you, but that you’d like to address? 

There are some other influences that I would like to acknowledge, one being you, thrall. Then there’s Tabico, Queen Calafia, Iago, Dr. Esterhazy, Plague Maiden, Tantric Legion (just to name a very few); and also http://h3ncomics.blogspot.com/?zx=68266a73629e64ba .Those are just some of my great influences on what I read and share.

I will just leave it all there. Thanks for wanting to know what’s in my world.....THEANTJACK

One for the ladies, one for the gents, and a bonus

You might or might not have noticed that I've started my own YouTube channel. It'll be a good way for me to keep up with the videos I like and share them with you. Right now I've only uploaded a couple of videos of my own (a cleaned up and complete version of the lesbian vampire seduction from The Vampire Lovers and the transformation sequence from Invasion of the Bee Women), and since I've already posted about them here once, you might have seen them already. If not, or if you want to see them again, just go to my channel. :-) I plan to upload more videos, but there's no telling when that will happen.

Fortunately, I'm also curating a playlist of my own favorite MC videos, and it's expanding all the time. Last night I added several different versions of the Fright Night club seduction scene from three different Fright Night movies. My reasoning is that since the original 1980's scene keeps getting taken down, and there's no telling whether the other movies will fare any better; so it's nice to have some backup copies. But for the moment, these are the best versions on YouTube of all three scenes (yes, three, not just two). As always I recommend that you download your own copies while they're available.

First up is the glorious, notorious scene from the original 1980's Fright Night, with Chris Sarandon seducing Amanda Bearce in the middle of the dance floor. It's funny to think that I was just a little younger than she was when she filmed this, and I actually looked a good bit like she did. My hairstyle was exactly the same too. And of course, both of us eventually came out as gay. But I swear to you in total modest confidence that I could have performed this scene just as convincingly as she did. Feel free to imagine me in it if you like. ;-) After a long, long search, I've finally found the whole thing uncut and in order, in pretty high definition. I was surprised to see how long it's been up without my noticing, but I wouldn't trust it to stay there; so again, download your own copy.



Now here's a clip from the mostly forgotten sequel to the original Fright Night, unsurprisingly called Fright Night 2. The movie overall is best forgotten, but it does have this one fantastic scene where the vampire (the sister of Jerry from the first movie) turns the tables on our hero Charlie by dancing/entrancing him just like Jerry danced and entranced Charlie's girlfriend in the first movie. Incidentally, apropos of nothing, I love her dress.



Now here's your bonus: the Jerry/Amy seduction scene from the 2011 Fright Night remake -  plus the beginning of the scene where Jerry taunts Charlie with Amy's vamp-induced betrayal. I didn't like Colin Farrell in this role because he was sleazy rather than sexy; but I love every second of Imogen Poots' performance in the club scene - especially her hand drop at the end. You'll see what I mean.

I'd planned to write about one thing this week, but then I heard some news that gave me a second subject to talk about; and since the two happen to be tangentially related, I'm giving you both.

First, let's talk about a little movie coming out soon, which you might have heard about: X-Men: Age of Apocalypse. The most recent trailer and promotional images include several shots of Apocalypse's eyes turning white when he uses his powers. Now, if you've followed the X-Men comics for a while, you know that several mutants have white eyes - either permanently white, or just white when they use their powers (Storm seems to go both ways. Hah....Sorry.)

Now, I grew up reading DC comics instead of Marvel, and (as I've said many times) watching Superfriends and other Saturday morning cartoons that used white eyes to show that a person was under someone else's power rather than to show the person had special powers of their own. Then there's that drool-inducing scene in Big Trouble in Little China that I'm sure pushes all our buttons. With all that in my history, I'm much more inclined to connect white eyes with MC than with power.

But it's not that simple. Think about white-eyed zombies, again mindless and will-less; but then contrast them with video game characters whose eyes turn white when they use magic. The fact is that in fantasy and SF, white eyes can have one of two contradictory meanings. My guess is that the "white eyes=power" meme is newer and probably started with Marvel Comics, but that's just a guess; and figuring out the origin of the idea is less interesting than figuring out why someone came up with it. I like to imagine that he/she/they were already MC and/or white-eye fetishists who just couldn't get enough, so they decided to tack a second meaning onto the look just so they could include it in more comics. Maybe that's how it happened, and maybe it isn't. All I know is that I get almost as turned on by white eyes that symbolize power as I do by white eyes that symbolize MC.

And now on to my second, related topic, the one that I hope will excite you as much as it excites me - and I am very excited indeed. You probably know who Oscar Isaac is now that he's played Poe Dameron in The Force Awakens, and of course that's him in the top photo playing Apocalypse. He also starred in Ex Machina, which I raved about back in January and which - stay with me here, because this is important  - was written and directed by Alex Garland. Garland is a genius and Oscar Isaac is this generation's Pacino, only with a geeky SF bent. And the two of them together are going to be working on the movie adaptation of Annihilation, a book I blogged about several times last year because it's the start of a trilogy that leans heavily on hypnosis and MC. The actual star of the movie is another highbrow actor-geek, Natalie Portman, but I'll wait until the next paragraph to tell you who Oscar Isaac is playing because it's a small spoiler and I want to give you a chance to back out if you want to stay spoiler-free. But I'll try not to say anything that you wouldn't see in the movie trailers, so I'd personally recommend you keep reading. This is going to be hot.

Okay, still with me? Natalie Portman is playing the biologist (None of the characters in this book have names), and she's one of four women who've been sent into what might possibly be alien-occupied territory in the Florida swamps called Area X. I wrote more about the setup in my previous posts, so I'll let you follow the link above if you need the details. But here's something I didn't tell you before. We find out somewhere near the middle of Annihilation that the biologist had a husband who was on the expedition prior to hers. He came back, but only sort of, and finding out what happened to him is one of her chief reasons for going there. You see, before hubby went into Area X, he was a brilliant, vibrant, and probably very sexy man. But the person who came back from Area X was just a shell: reminiscent of the man the biologist loved, but flattened and confused and just...not all there.

Well, Oscar Isaac is playing the biologist's husband, and Oscar is a brilliant, vibrant, sexy man. Seeing him go through that transformation will be simultaneously horrifying and hot as fuck. I'm going to be even more sexually confused about him than I am right now, and I have a ginormous straight crush on the guy (How could I not? Just look at him!). Watching him get turned into a zombie is going to throw me into system overload. Even now, I'm getting dizzy thinking about it.

So there you have it: Oscar Isaac and Natalie Portman in a SF/fantasy/horror movie with a strong MC element, written and directed by Alex Garland. It just doesn't get any better than this...until you add in Jennifer Jason Leigh as the psychologist! I'd never have thought of her for that role, but whoever did think of her was a genius. She's going to knock it out of the park. They all are. I can't wait for this movie to come out.

Does this get your motor running?

Last week I blogged about the fact that Oscar Isaac had been cast in the upcoming movie adaptation of Annihilation. He'll be playing the biologist's (Natalie Portman) husband - a secondary character in the book who should have lots more screen time in the movie. You see, the book is told from the biologist's point of view during the twelfth expedition, as she tries to find out what happened to her husband during the eleventh expedition. Eventually she discovers his journal and learns the truth by reading it, but you just know that in the movie we'll see his story play out live. And trust me, it's going to be very exciting.

But while we're waiting for the movie to start production, what about a little more background on what happened when the eleventh expedition returned from Area X? The passages I'm going to quote will give you some small spoilers, but since they're all within the first 40 pages of the book, it shouldn't matter much. So if you want to read about virile young men being turned into zoned-out zombies - and the biologist's attempt to have sex with one of those zombies - read on. And for maximum effect, imagine Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac in these two roles.

The first quote begins after the biologist has explained how the returnees just showed up, at various and in various places, with no clear idea how they got back from Area X. The second quote explains how her husband returned, and how she handled his bizarre reappearance.


 
Estrangement, in all of its many forms, was nothing new for these missions. I understood this from having been given an opportunity along with the others to view videotape of the reentry interviews with the members of the eleventh expedition. Once those individuals had been identified as having returned to their former lives, they were quarantined and questioned about their experiences. Reasonably enough, in most cases family members had called the authorities, finding their loved one’s return uncanny or frightening. Any papers found on these returnees had been confiscated by our superiors for examination and study. This information, too, we were allowed to see.

The interviews were fairly short, and in them all eight expedition members told the same story. They had experienced no unusual phenomenon while in Area X, taken no unusual readings, and reported no unusual internal conflicts. But after a period of time, each one of them had had the intense desire to return home and had set out to do so. None of them could explain how they had managed to come back across the border, or why they had gone straight home instead of first reporting to their superiors. One by one they had simply abandoned the expedition, left their journals behind, and drifted home. Somehow.

Throughout these interviews, their expressions were friendly and their gazes direct. If their words seemed a little flat, then this went with the kind of general calm, the almost dreamlike demeanor each had returned with - even the compact, wiry man who had served as that expedition’s military expert, a person who’d had a mercurial and energetic personality. In terms of their affect, I could not tell any of the eight apart. I had the sense that they now saw the world through a kind of veil, that they spoke to their interviewers from across a vast distance in time and space.




In case you couldn't guess, the "compact, wiry man" with the "mercurial and energetic personality" was the biologist's husband. Now, skipping ahead just a little, let's see what happened when he returned.


One night, about a year after he had headed for the border, as I lay alone in bed, I heard someone in the kitchen. Armed with a baseball bat, I left the bedroom and turned on all the lights in the house. I found my husband next to the refrigerator, still dressed in his expedition clothes, drinking milk until it flowed down his chin and neck. Eating leftovers furiously.

I was speechless. I could only stare at him as if he were a mirage and if I moved or said anything he would dissipate into nothing, or less than nothing.

We sat in the living room, him on the sofa and me in a chair opposite. I needed some distance from this sudden apparition. He did not remember how he had left Area X, did not remember the journey home at all. He had only the vaguest recollection of the expedition itself. There was an odd calm about him, punctured only by moments of remote panic when, in asking him what had happened, he recognized that his amnesia was unnatural. Gone from him, too, seemed to be any memory of how our marriage had begun to disintegrate well before our arguments over his leaving for Area X. He contained within him now the very distance he had in so many subtle and not so subtle ways accused me of in the past.

After a time, I couldn’t take it any longer. I took off his clothes, made him shower, then led him into the bedroom and made love to him with me on top. I was trying to reclaim remnants of the man I remembered, the one who, so unlike me, was outgoing and impetuous and always wanted to be of use. The man who had been a passionate recreational sailor, and for two weeks out of the year went with friends to the coast to go boating. I could find none of that in him now.

The whole time he was inside me he looked up at my face with an expression that told me he did remember me but only through a kind of fog. It helped for a while, though. It made him more real, allowed me to pretend.

But only for a while. I only had him in my life again for about twenty-four hours. They came for him the next evening, and once I went through the long, drawn-out process of receiving security clearance, I visited him in the observation facility right up until the end. That antiseptic place where they tested him and tried without success to break through both his calm and his amnesia. He would greet me like an old friend - an anchor of sorts, to make sense of his existence - but not like a lover. I confess I went because I had hopes that there remained some spark of the man I’d once known. But I never really found it. Even the day I was told he had been diagnosed with inoperable, systemic cancer, my husband stared at me with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.

He died six months later. During all that time, I could never get beyond the mask, could never find the man I had known inside of him. Not through my personal interactions with him, not through eventually watching the interviews with him and the other members of the expedition, all of whom died of cancer as well.

Whatever had happened in Area X, he had not come back. Not really.

The reason I haven't posted in a few weeks is that I and my family are dealing with a perfect storm of serious issues. I am here, and I plan to stay here, but I'm not sure how much posting I'll be able to do until certain things are resolved. I appreciate any kind thoughts and prayers you care to send my way.

Wanna hear a song about "sexuality inside the hive mind"? Of course you do.

I'm still on hiatus (see my last post); but I promised that if I found anything worth sharing, I'd share it. Well, I've found something. Oscar Isaac, a.k.a. Poe Dameron, used to be in an alternative rock duo called NightLab, and I've just started listening to their music. The first time I heard the song "People Keepers," I couldn't make out enough of the words to understand their meaning; but I did hear references to drones, honey, and a priestess. That made me curious enough to look up the lyrics, which I'm posting below.

But NightLab has posted their music in a few different locations, and I found a note about the song before I found the lyrics. This note, written either by Oscar Isaac ("Monscar" here) or his partner, describes "People Keepers" this way:

NightLab Industries agents Monscar and Boocho submit a proposal entitled "Sexuality Inside the Hive Mind." 

The funny thing is, even though their nicknames are jokes, the description itself is not. This really is a song about a woman finding peace by submitting to the hive mind. The lyrics are creepy/cool in all the best ways, and the music matches it perfectly. Actually, I really like a lot of NightLab's stuff; and it's all available for free on SoundCloud, so you can have a listen for yourselves. Here's the link directly to "People Keepers," and you can easily get to the main NightLab page from there. (Alternately, if you haven't signed up for SoundCloud and don't want to, you can download that song and several others from Reverb Nation without having to give up any personal information.)

Okay, so here are the lyrics for "People Keepers":

We are the People Keepers
Smoking out your potential
We are the Holy Waters
Take this love from us

The push, the pull, the grinding of teeth
Hands full of hair, her heads underneath
Quiet as bones, I don't know how
But heaven knows she's comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now

We are the Weeping Healers
Roping out your dimensions
You are the lonely daughters
Bleed your honey for us

The push, the pull, the grinding of teeth
Hands full of hair, her heads underneath
Quiet as bones, I don't know how
But heaven knows she's comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now

Priestess, priestess, swallow me into your swarm
Priestess, priestess, suffer the queens and the drones
The drones.

You know its getting pretty late now
So say goodnight, say goodnight
You cant change our minds

We are the People Keepers
Smoking out your potential
We are the Holy Waters
Take this love from us

The push, the pull, the grinding of teeth
Hands full of hair, her heads underneath
Quiet as bones, I don't know how
But heaven knows she's comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now
Heaven knows she is comfortable now

You know there's MC in Captain America: Civil War, right?

But before I start talking about that, here's a quick announcement: I think I'm ready to start blogging and writing regularly again. My personal life has stabilized a bit and that has allowed my creative juices to start flowing again. I had to put that Transfixed CYOA aside for a couple of months, but I'm ready to pick it up again. Anyway, thanks to everyone who's expressed their sympathy for me, both here and by email. It really does mean a lot. I want you to know that.

And now on to the new Captain America movie, which I can't help thinking of as the new Avengers movie because, hell, almost all of the Avengers are in it. I won't talk about anything you couldn't infer from the commercials and trailers, so you don't have to worry about spoilers in this part of my post unless you want to go into Civil War with your eyes and ears completely virgin. You'd just better have seen The Winter Soldier first if you plan on that, because otherwise you'll be totally lost.

So anyway, as you could see from those trailers and commercials, Bucky still hasn't broken free of all his Hydra conditioning. He remembers who he is most of the time, but it turns out that Hydra programmed him with trigger words that can revive the Winter Soldier in his mind (Those triggers reminds me of the nonsensical phrases trilby else used to employ; "ammonite contraband" was one of my favorites). But in Bucky's case, it's a whole string of disconnected words, so when he gets triggered, we get to watch him scream and struggle until he inevitably but oh-so-slowly falls back into drone mode. And then, stone-faced, he chants that most perfect of slave mantras: "Ready to comply."

IMO, these scenes (Yes, there's more than one) are much hotter than the single reprogramming scene we saw in The Winter Soldier. I thought of writing about that one when the movie came out, but in the end I decided against because the process was painful and pain turns me off instead of on. However, I did like the brainwashing rig from that movie, so I'm including a picture of it here. You can make up whatever scenario you like to go along with it. Or, hell, if you are into pain, you can just fantasize about the movie scene itself. You have watched The Winter Soldier, right? I can't imagine any MC fetishist would give it a pass. Well, I'm here to tell you that Bucky's programming scenes in Civil War are things of heat and beauty. It's just a shame he got rid that faceless, dehumanizing mask. I'd love to have seen him in that again (Oops, was that a spoiler?).

But now let me switch topics and talk about the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. I will have to drop some medium-sized spoilers here, although they're rumors and guesses that might prove false, so it's your gamble whether to bail out or keep reading. I'll be back next weekend anyway with a scorching hot new fantasy I've been toying with. But for now Apocalypse is on the front burner, and I'm hoping he'll give us plenty of heat. Already we know he collects powers by taking over the bodies of mutants with abilities he covets. We also know from the trailers that Magneto kidnaps an unconscious Charles Xavier by pulling his wheelchair toward Apocalypse and the horsemen. What you might not know unless you caught the most recent YouTube featurette is that there's a scene in the movie where Charles is lying on a slab like the one Oscar Isaac was on in the earlier trailers, and Oscar-as-Apocalypse is looming over Charles. The implications seem obvious. In fact, I've read that Apocalypse specifically covets Charles' telepathy, but you have to dig a little to find out how he wants to use it. This might be a false rumor, but I've read that Apocalypse wants to use Charles' telepathy to MC every person on the planet. Well, you can imagine how desperately I want that to be true. Unfortunately the trailers make it look like Apocalypse is more interested in killing people than enslaving them...but maybe he plans to kill the weak and MC the strong. That would make sense because in the movie, Oscar-Apocalypse was betrayed by his last set of horsemen, and I'm sure he doesn't want to risk that again (Plus, in the comics Apocalypse does MC his horsemen). So I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll see some MC action in the new movie before the X-men inevitably take him down. The premiere can't get here soon enough for me.

So here's the fantasy I teased you about last week, the one I've been slowly developing in my head over the last couple of months. I'm not sure yet whether it will become a full-blown story; that depends on whether I can build a plot around this brief scenario. But even though it's brief, I think you'll agree that it's hot as hell.

Imagine a world like Tabico and Iago's Middle-Urth or the unnamed land of trilby else's story Pawn": a world ruled by sorcery. Now imagine a queen and her honor guard going to parley with a powerful sorceress. The queen thinks she has enough soldiers and amulets to protect her, but her opponent is more powerful than the queen realizes.

When she and her retinue enter the throne room, they see censers burning everywhere, filling the room with incense. The clouds are so thick that they can barely see the sorceress on her throne, but she's alone, and that reassures them. At her invitation they walk toward her. The queen is in the center of the group, protected on all sides; but clouds of incense wind between them and suddenly she finds herself alone at the foot of the sorceress' throne. At least, she thinks she's alone. Her guards are a few feet behind her, but they're trapped behind a thin wall of mist that's solid as stone. They can see their queen quite clearly but they can't reach her, and she can't hear their calls.

Around the queen, the scent of incense increases, and she grows dizzy. She sways on her feet. The sorceress comes down from her throne and takes her in her arms as if to support her. "Look," she says, "I have a gift for you." It's a crystal diadem with a downward point at its center. Dangling from that point is a crystal as large as the queen's thumb, but flat enough to lie smoothly against her forehead. It's pale as moonlight, but it flashes with rainbow hues. She's never seen anything so beautiful in her life. She wants to put it on, to feel its cool touch between her eyes, but she's already wearing a tiara of her own. It contains her most powerful amulet against the sorceress' spells.


Close by but invisible, her honor guard are screaming at her and pounding against the wall of mist, begging her not to be seduced. But the incense has softened her mind, and the sorceress is literally holding her in her arms, binding her in chains of power. Eyes blurring, the queen smiles at the sorceress and removes her tiara. She tosses it aside and it vanishes into the mist where neither she nor her guard can reach it. Then she takes the diadem in both er hands and studies the crystal at its center. Pale light flashes from its depths into her eyes and brain, muffling the last of her thoughts. Her guardswomen see it all. They scream even louder, and attack the wall with their swords and spears. Then the queen puts on the diadem.

Suddenly the mist wall vanishes. The guards rush toward her, and the closest of them even manage to touch her gown, but then she and her new owner vanish and the mist returns. Now the guards are separated from each other as well as their queen, and they wander alone in horror.

Eventually one guard finds her way out of the mist. She's in a ballroom lit by dozens of flickering candles. Their light bounces off a crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the room - hanging strangely low, almost low enough for the guard to touch. From her current position, it looks like a thick hoop held aloft by crystal chains, with more chains dangling beneath it. But when the guard comes closer, she sees what lies in in the center of the hoop: her queen: face down and naked, with straps of crystal crossing her body and spiraling down her limbs to bind her to the hoop. Three more straps hold her head in place: they descend from the ceiling twined together, winding her hair up into them; and then they split apart to cross her forehead and cheeks and meet at the bridge of her nose.

More crystals dangle from the crystal straps; and a large, clear ball gags the queen's mouth. But the crystal, the one which enslaves her, hangs down from the junction of straps on her face. Its chain is just the right length for her to focus on it as it spins and flashes. The queen herself is making it move, because even though she's bound to the hoop and the ceiling, she has enough leeway to squirm; and whenever she does, the crystals between her legs tease her clit just right. She moans through the gag and shudders with delight, but she never takes her eyes off the crystal.

Her guard is heartbroken; she loves her queen and wants to rescue her. Maybe if she jumps high enough, she can grab the chandelier. She steps closer, closer, closer, until she's directly under the queen's head. Her Majesty's eyes are wide and glazed, unblinking, reflecting the pale rainbow lights from the crystal. Those lights don't affect the guard, but the queen is so deeply entranced that she never notices the woman beneath her.


The guard yells and waves her arms. She jumps and tries to grab the crystal, but it's just out of reach. Suddenly a long, thick string of drool plummets from the ball gag and splashes the guard's face. Some of it lands in her eyes, and some in her mouth. She's never felt or tasted anything so exquisite in her life. She needs more of it, right now. The guard kneels and spreads her arms, begging for her Majesty's favor, but the queen neither hears nor sees.

Then, from behind her, the guard hears a patter. When she turns around, she sees that the queen's pussy is squirting a crystal stream. The guard knows, without even being told, that this is what she really needs. She scurries toward it, crawling because she can't take the time to rise.The flow could stop at any time and she has to have it. She just has to. The guard stops squarely beneath the queen's pussy and drinks from the crystal stream. It's flowing so quickly now that she can't keep up with it. Her mouth fills to overflowing and she spreads the excess across her face and head. She isn't thinking anymore, just obeying the commands of the crystal inside her. It fills her body and seeps inside her head, turning her into a geode with a small hollow core inside her skull. Inside that core is the sorceress' will.

More guards enter the ballroom, one by one. Each of them feels as if she is alone except for the queen, and most of them rush to save her just as the first guard did. But a few are more wary, and if they hang back, their ex-comrades appear from nowhere and drag them under the queen's sightless gaze. The free guards can't resist the geode-slaves. They still look mostly human, but their eyes are featureless crystal and they have the strength of stone.

Within a matter of hours, the queen and all her retinue belong to the sorceress. The parley is a total success.

I've just been to YouTube, looking for a particular video I wanted to blog about, but I got sidelined by something even hotter. Here are a couple of videos advertising, well, Agent Provocateur lingerie...among other things. These two pieces star Dita Von Teese and Kirsty Hume, each as an irresistible dominatrix - one obliterating the personality (or, if you'd like to fantasize, mind-controlling) of a former president and making him her dutiful slave, and the other as a porcelain-like beauty who keeps her (rather literal) boy-toy locked in a closet when he's not in use.

Both videos are from the same Agent Provocateur playlist, so if you like what you see, you can click on over to YouTube for more the same.




Why I went missing and what you missed

1. I went missing because my computer died and it took over a week to get a new one because I wanted a laptop that was out of stock and had to be ordered. I'm still getting everything set up as I type this, but I'm taking a quick break.

2. What you missed was a post about Tabico: she has a new blog! She's posting story updates and art, answering fan questions, and doing all kinds of fun stuff. She has also emailed me a link to an absolutely incredible batch of public domain latex/rubber photography, but I'm going to hold off on blogging about that until this weekend because I don't want to shortchange Tabico. She's already had to wait two weekends longer than I promised before having me promote her blog (I decided to do that on my own, BTW - she didn't ask me to do it. I just wanted to.)

3. Part of my setting-up-laptop process involves reinstalling Virtual Hypnotist, which turned out to be pretty tricky with Windows 10, so I'm going to update that section of the VH Tutorial for anyone who lost access during a computer upgrade.
