I have credible information that necrolord has leaked a morgue sex video on the dark web of this Polish teenager dead and getting fucked by two guys. Pix r from his escort profile since deleted.

Does anyone have a connection?

He looks fresher at the beginning but by the end you really notice the lividity.

spunk_not_dead – December 18, 2021
He is very dead in the video.

spunk_not_dead – December 18, 2021
Silentwhisper on goregish has the link.

spunk_not_dead – December 18, 2021
He overdosed if your conscience needs assuaging.

He was traveling in Europe, got only as far as Croatia.

Okay first of all if you ask me what am I doing here is a good question.
I mean just want to write without a goal or ulterior motive.
And I wouldn’t even talk about myself on a date because I always have to fake emotions.
I don’t feel any more emotions or pain.
Just emptiness.
I really just want my feelings back because I don’t feel anything.
And yes, I have no sexual experience, I never showed any interest in it.
The only thing that still gives me pleasure is to see others happy.
No matter how difficult or exhausting it is, I do everything to make others happy, no matter what.
I know that sounds weird but I cling to any spark of emotion or happiness.

Don’t take him to theatre, concerts, opera, museums, church, any events, etc. They are way over his head and will bore him to death.

Small and thin penis, in my opinion.

MaximumPunishment – December 7, 2021
My view of him is that he is a worthless ant whose only purpose is to be on on knees serving and worshipping. When he dies he will be worshipping and kneeling before God. In the meantime he should be serving a Master on earth, the bible says that slaves should obey their earthly masters as they would their master in heaven. I believe he was born to be a slave, God has given me many signs of this over and over in the hour I was with him.

Hi Sir I want to thank you for reading this and will tell you where I am in the kink scene.

I’ve never liked being human so when I was 15 I became a dog and now have multiple animal sides all behaving as close as possible, it’s difficult to explain but to sum it up I like being an animal 😅.

My dog side is identical to a dog, walk on all fours and bark or whimper, this also includes bowls, a dog bed, collars and muzzles etc.

And yes I do love getting knotted 🐕 Yes, I do mean by real dogs. Often a few at once. I put some pup mitts on me and a hood and let them go to town! 😈

Happy to chat and if things work out we could tailor something to work for the both of us, I can be a pig, cow, dog, goat or whatever works out 😅

He who holds the soap holds the key.

I’m a young flight attendant who is especially fond of mouthsoaping. From a jock in yellow kitchen gloves holding a bottle of Palmolive and a sponge, to a daddy in leather gloves holding a bar of Irish Spring, I love it all. What is your preferred method for washing a mouth out with soap?

I don’t mind if your bf, gf, next door neighbour or whoever is there.

Ever fantasised about putting yourself in the care of a therapist, only to have them abuse that trust? Lay back on the couch, talk to me about your problems, as I try to coerce you into sexual scenes that I assure you are there to help with your inner conflict.

Issues and problems are a natural part of life and through personal counselling and psychotherapy I support people in improving their emotional wellbeing, breaking old habits and introducing new coping strategies, developing new skills to make successful life changes. But mainly I just want to make you talk about your filthiest fantasies, and see what I can talk you into doing, all in the name of ‘therapy’.

I can help you with issues including but not limited to:
Depression
Anxiety
Stress
Personal Development
Relationship Issues
Emotional Abuse
Sexual fantasies
Phobias

In your message please briefly outline the issues you would like to cover in your session, as well as any hard limits that must be adhered to.

Yesterday Russian fashion model Nikolay Gubenko was found dead hanged on a tree in a park in Kaliningrad. Police believe he killed himself. People taking a walk in the park found the body.

He was only 22 but standing at over 190 cm tall with a super lean body he was a top model and frequently appeared in fashion magazines in Russia and Europe.

Nikolai has been taken to the forensic morgue in Kaliningrad for a full autopsy today. If you’re in Kaliningrad you might want to get over there. And take some photos!

Former Boynapped performer Calvin Croft will be auctioned online to the highest bidder by his current owner on December 27, 2021 at a location to be revealed on December 21. This is for full ownership and sequestration with maximum security only. No baggage, no limits. What you’ve seen in his videos is the tip of what you deserve. Serious and qualified bidders can state their interest in participating by submitting appropriate vetting materials and their starting bids (in the mid-five figures is recommended) by return message.

If it was mid projection it would probably shoot out of the tip, dribbling out of the back of the tip, and the second pump of cum would be coming out of the gaping wound.

what are you saying, like they got bluetooth cum or something?

SignificanceLonely58 – December 6, 2021
curious: if someone is cumming, and u chop their dick off, do they come from their penis tip or from the place where their dick is chopped?

I’ve had a wish that seemed like it could never come true. This seems to be the only hope that I have. I’m seeking a mortician, age doesn’t bother me, to strip my dead young body and put a tag around my toe. After this I want to be autopsied on a table with my penis being exposed. I’m all a bit new to this so please bare with me guys lol. I want this to take a few hours and lots of details added. I want to lie on a table in the morgue with my tag tightly tie around my big toe. Hope to see some reply’s thanks.

I would finish cutting your chest open and then saw open your rib cage ……. start pulling your guts out of your dead body and place them on your cold floppy penis.

Toetagboy20 (Owner) – December 10, 2021
I’m lying on the cold autopsy table, the mortician removes my pants to expose my cold floppy penis then he moves onto remove my ankle socks my dead bare feet are out! He proceeds to attach a tag round my big toe. I can feel him tying it so tight to my toe shortly after I feel the scalpel drag down my chest over my nipples… tell me how you’d finish?

BiManHoleLicker – December 7, 2021
I’m a huge fan of Cole! I vouch for him. So hot, and death will only perfect him. Would make his mortican very happy and excited.

The6ixx – December 7, 2021
My boy Cole! he has played dead for me many times! BUT – whats truly amazing about Cole is – he can play dead and I can fuck him, choke him, slap him, even fist him – and he just lies there dead and has no reaction at all.. probably the closest I will ever get to fucking a true dead person!!!

InMemoryOfRicko, 21
It was 2016 when I first met you thru the post office. You had answered an ad. Master Ricko (Ricky) P. was the name, Philly was the place. You were an architect, and I was so fascinated at the portrait you drew of me at the time. I was only 16 at the time, grew up in small town. I remember some, your friends Snake and Gary, but others have faded over the years. I remember your first, Tony who died in an motorcycle accident, when you confided in me to tell me, and how terrible you felt. I was a very shy kid, though you would not know it today. I was taken advantage of by several different men when I was an adolescent. I was very recluse growing up.

I fell hard when we met. I thought you were the one, but then things just progressed and never went anywhere. I used my real name, told you real thoughts, really confided in you. Your name however, still remains a total mystery. I search it, I know you had Leather titles, but never find anything, but though some I am not sure of so I search more. I remember I wrote to 18th street, with a zip of 19148, and I visited there to leave you a ring I worked hard to get you, and left it at the door, but you just sent it back to me.

Today, occasionally, I think or dream of you even 5 years later, even last week, it seemed so real. Sometimes, I get so lost in searching again thru records, but have not found anything. Just a hint from the Bike Stop, Leather/Motorcycle club, or an old photo of you, but nothing. I leave my Facebook page open to everyone, if case you ever want to write me, it is listed under my hometown of which you know.

Today, I have had many challenges. I found out I had a heart condition from birth, and have had a pacemaker since April, I am due for another replacement shortly, as my first one has kept me alive for the past 8 months, and I am hoping a second will for many many more. This condition has left me weak but I go on. But I may not get to say all the things I want to say, so I wanted to say some of them now.

I’d enjoy castrating you. But rather than cut them out, I’d torture your cock and balls, let it drag out and be as painful as possible, until eventually I end up destroying them completely. When your sac is cut open, all that’s left is a pile of mushy remains to fall out.

lukas17yocutme (Owner) – December 16, 2021

I would put my mouth to your open sac and suck a nut into my mouth, pull it out as far as possible, sever the cord with my teeth, and enjoy chewing your nut. Then I would suck the second ball into my mouth, pull it out, but this time, chew while still attached. Pure ecstasy for me. Hideous pain for you.

My name is Master Leonard. I am a Theistic Satanist and owner of sub slaves. I run a slave farm in Texas. A few years ago I started helping Masters like myself find their ideal slaves. I know how tedious the process can be and have elected myself to bridge a gap between slaves and Masters. Here are the current slaves that I have available.

Slave Lobo for sale. 21, blond, ftm, Dallas, speaks French, willing to relocate within the US to be owned permanently as a near-limitless live-in sex slave. Its two cunts are perfect for snacking and fisting and it desires to be owned as a prostitute/whore for all men.

Slave Thomas. 20, white, Nevada, relocatable August 2021. Rather metallic/punk style but can also put on makeup skirt lingerie as he is aware he’s effeminate. Can care of men with his ass for a very long time but also knows how to satisfy women. Be somewhat near his age.


Slave Nick. 19, located in Milan, Italy. Zero limits, devout Satanist. Its holes are open for anything and everything. His mind goes from normal to extreme self-destructive piggy within seconds (even worse when you give him poppers). Ready to find a final master

Slave Rick. Age 18, looks younger, UK, long petty criminal record, combative. Recently lost his previous master in a car wreck. Stuck fetish (eg, having his feet stuck in tar, cement, quicksand, glue, etc) No limits, seeking indefinite maximum security sex slavery.


Comments

Slave_Thomas – December 22, 2021
I have changed my mind and I have left the slave farm … They do not help anyone is a lie, Master Leonard is a drunk, it is a group of anarchist and communists and ayatollahs politicized by the left who do not seek more than their financing and receive a lot of money … It is a sect that takes advantage of the despair and the pain of homosexuals like me … Therefore goodbye even though I am about to jump out the window.

Hi Deathangel, that’s james elliott otherwise known as jejames. He went insane. in 2018 he was put on the front page of his local newspaper as he was caught masturbating fully naked in a public park while also having sex with a blow up doll in public and uploading the video on the net. and it got worse. Just google the name ‘jejames porn’. He’s dead. i think he jumped off a bridge.

Had some weird woman from my old work messing with me at one point before i met you. Weird data file tracer on my facebook recently before I met you.

You doing anything at all out of the ordinary tonight, not that France is making anything inordinate very possible this year? ** Joseph, Hi, Joseph! A true pleasure to see you, sir. I seem to be hanging in there within this mess of a world, strangely and happily. Dude, that laptop of yours deserves a fiery death, assuming the PC works out. Any friend or even stranger who’s into Banjo Kazooie and Conker’s BFD is a great friend or stranger in my honest opinion. Thanks for sharing my thing with them. So, I’m happy that you’re writing, obviously. And I hope the New Year is inspiration central for you. Take good care, maestro. ** Bill, Hm. I don’t know. Wouldn’t surprise me. Supposedly Zwart is quite the giant influence on graphic design, at least in Europe, at least to hear those who know that field. I have to pick a NYE movie too. Hm… what did you choose? ** Okay. The slaves wish you a very happy New Year whether they like it or not. See you tomorrow.

Galerie Dennis Cooper presents … Piet Zwart

 

‘Personally, I admire the rebels, the forward thinkers, the people despised by society for being “different.” Zwart was, according to several sources, “not an easy man.” He was known for his “indiscretion” and many considered him “self-centered.” When have people like him ever been understood by the mediocre?

‘Others recall that he was driven to excel. He worked late into the night, usually until three in the morning, set high standards for himself that others thought were unattainable by any person. He was concerned about promoting himself and paranoid about others having the wrong impression of him. As he was named The Most Influential Designer of the Twentieth Century by the Association of Dutch Designers (although some articles on Zwart list it as the Professional Organization of Dutch Designers) in 2000, he obviously succeeded in making his mark, despite the rumors and innuendos from those around him.

‘Many, it seems in my research probably felt more out of jealousy from Zwart’s ideals of perfection and his insistence on being involved in articles and books about him. The Oxford Journal writes, ‘Yvonne Brentjens’s new monograph… charts his struggle to arrive at an objective, scientific and technically perfect design, hence the word Vormingenieur (engineer of form).’

‘Piet Zwart was born on May 28th, 1885 in Zaandijk, North Holland (died in September 27th, 1977 at the age of 92). From 1902 until 1907 he attended the School of Applied Arts in Amsterdam where it is said there was little division between several disciplines as drawing, painting, architecture and applied arts. Zwart and fellow students developed by themselves with little interference from above, as teachers weren’t always present. “A smashing school with no idea of a program,” as Zwart recalls.

‘It was this lack of formal classroom training that led him to approach his design, especially typography in a fresh and untraditional way. While the purely horizontal grid design of straightforward type and images was the norm, leading to the Swiss School of Design in the 1940s and 1950s (also read the Noupe article on Swiss School designer, Josef Müller-Brockmann), Zwart felt his designing from his gut.

‘As with most geniuses, there was a self-initiated method that broke the very same rules he had never learned, or, as I suspect, he cared nothing for and wanted to break. He also experimented in the use of photography incorporated into his designs, leading to photomontages. Still, with all the rule breaking and experimentation, Zwart was concerned with readability, feeling that typography should be clear and functional. If any influence must be assigned, he used the basic principles of constructivism and “De Stijl” in his commercial work.

‘One must put Zwart’s work into context of the time and design influences. His use of type and montage was incredibly ahead of his time. Even today, such work is inspiring, fresh and unique. His lack of training shows a gift and inner creativity that is individual and comes from deep within. One has to wonder if Zwart’s “difficult” personality, as nay-sayers put it, is a reaction to the misplaced and vociferous opinions of other contemporaries who couldn’t fathom Zwart’s designs.

‘While time has proved him to be a truly great creative, it must have been hard for him to put up with life as the target of harsh critiques from charlatans and mediocre talents. It’s a great lesson for designers to understand that one’s own creative vision is not fodder for other creatives to comment upon. In the long run, history will be the judge of great creativity and not the opinions of others in the field.

‘Zwart had been fired from the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts in 1933, after he had been quite explicit about the redevelopment of art education. Some say he was teaching communist ideals to his students and some say his progressive ideas had been closely linked to the innovative methods and objectives of the Bauhaus School in Dessau where he was asked to host a number of lessons in 1929.

‘As with many who lived in the dark days of the Second World War, Zwart, along with 800 other prominent citizens were arrested and held by German soldiers. After the war, when he was released from captivity, he mainly focused on industrial design. One can only imagine what years of captivity did to him. He never spoke of those years. It is amazing he went back to creative work, albeit in another field.

‘One cannot have much introspection into a person’s private pain. The old saying is that an artist must suffer for their art. Zwart certainly suffered although it’s hard to tell how much of it was self-imposed. It is, however, his legacy of creativity that lives on and has lessons for the creatives of today. His drive and dedication to his vision is a great lesson. His work, if one thinks of the time and culture of his heyday, was such a departure – almost futuristic but he still managed to convince people that his vision was the best way to communicate the message.’ — Speider Schneider

Kitchen

‘Piet Zwart (1885-1977) owes his reputation as much for his design for the Bruynzeel kitchen in 1938 as for his progressive graphic designs for companies like PTT and cable manufacturer Nederlandsche Kabelfabriek. Piet Zwart preferred to call himself a form engineer or form technician rather than a designer. He believed in functionality, standardisation and machine production, and profiled himself as one of the first industrial designers in the Netherlands. In his eyes, a design must take account both of ergonomics and user-friendliness, and of the demands of mass production. The kitchen he designed for Bruynzeel in 1938 is a good example. It was highly progressive for its time. This was the first time that domestic appliances like a refrigerator and stove could be integrated in the design in a practical way. All the elements were designed with logical proportions, and customers could combine them as they wished. Handy details like glass containers, a pull-out bread board and storage racks made the kitchen a textbook example of comfort and efficiency.’ — Kunstmuseum Den Haag

Quotes

 

The more uninteresting the letter, the more useful it is to the typographer.

*

We used the camera only as a means of expression and as a visual medium that offers possibilities found in no other artistic technique, possibilities that the eye cannot catch in their totality. We tried to establish a characteristic vision of photography.

*

Colour is a creative element, not a trimming.

*

Among the few I have indicated, is there no dynamic man of action, the rebel who will help determine the aspect of the collective expression of tomorrow? Ponder this question and know that to make beautiful creations for the sake of their aesthetic value will have no social significance tomorrow, will be nonsensical self-gratification. Every era contains the conditions for providing a rebel.

p.s. Hey. ** David, Hi. Well, that’s certainly a notch on your belt, or almost a notch. No, it’s a notch. Shouldn’t you be putting all these stories in a Word doc titled ‘as yet untitled memoir’? Uh, a little drizzle here, no sign of snow, Paris biz as usual. ** David, Thanks! I agree with you on three of the four films on your list that I’ve seen. ** Misanthrope, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I met Justin once briefly in Tokyo. We happened to both be in a shitty pizza place at the same time and he recognised me and said hey. Seemed nice. That ‘Spiderman’ movie is quite the gigantic humongous hit over there, I hear. Shows … oh, you mean the NYE in Times Square shows? I think I only ever watched the MTV one back when MTV was what its initials indicate. ** Rafe, Oh, shit, feel better. And thank you! Obviously thrilled to play a little part in your betterment. Don’t worry about the double posting. This blog is a technical weirdo. I.e., it’s its fault, not yours. ** Ian, Thanks, Ian. My favourite Joy Williams novel is ‘The Quick and the Dead’. She’s also a writer of killer insanely great stories. If you go that route, I would just go ahead and pick up her collected stories book ‘The Visiting Privilege’. Or, if you want to start slower on that front, maybe try ‘Breaking and Entering’. Later gator. ** Maria, Isabella, Camila, Malaria, Gabriela, Hi! Thank you! Yeah, don’t kill your husband. Even if he deserves it, you’ll regret it, trust me. SHINE by the Camouflage seems pretty charming, but I need finish this p.s. thing so I can listen without the distraction of needing to think up and type words. So I will do that. Thank you a lot for making sure I know about it. ** _Black_Acrylic, The first ‘Gremlins’ is a fantastic film, I totally agree. ** Dominik, Hi!! Oh, wow, there I am in his book. How cool. ‘Shuck’ is on my radar. It’s true, I did make a leap of faith in thinking the guy in that gif would be a good writer. Maybe I should have said he was excited because his selfie was accepted for the next issue of SCAB. Your love of yesterday sounded like the makings of a quirky slave profile. In other words, awesome! Love balancing a plate of nachos on his head, G. ** Bill, Thanks, B. Every light should flicker. But maybe not the sun. So I finally watched ‘The Feast’. To be honest, I didn’t really like it. For me, it was too self-conscious and laboured and it just never engaged me. Well, except for maybe when that guy ate the son’s leg. I’m sorry. Taste is taste, you know, and what can one do? Yeah, I should at least watch something on NYE. Which is tomorrow, shit! ** T, Thanks, T. Whoo-hoo about the Covid evacuation. So you’re headed back here tonight. Overnight ferry: can you sleep on that? Dude, I have a potentially really awful meeting with our film producer tomorrow, and I so need a run of good luck, and I thank you greatly for that wish, from my knees almost. May your day involve a lot of fond hugs and sweet farewells and then the calmest channel waters in recorded history. xo. ** Kage, It’s true for me too that alcohol can add a pleasant side effect to certain drug effects if it’s drunk judiciously. No, I almost never remember my dreams. When I do, they always involve someone or something trying to kill me. Literally always. ** Steve Erickson, Our cases just shot into the stratosphere yesterday. Oops. Strangely, I still don’t know a soul here who has or has had the virus recently. I suspect that’s about to change drastically. I still feels very Covid normal here, as of this morning. I agree, I think you’re onto something with the muzak sampling. Kudos. ** Right. When I live in Amsterdam in the 80s, I got very into the work of the great Dutch designer Piet Zwart for a while, and a memory of that interest popped into my head, and that is why you’re getting an unusual two galerie shows this week. Have a lookabout, please. See you tomorrow.
