I want to be tied up, gagged with delicious white socks and have my balls crushed, stepped on and hit with hammer then slowly cut off with a knife.

In the army too so DL.

I’m serious. Let’s say I or whoever cut off your genitals. Then you have two choices- die of blood loss and/or infection, or have emergency surgery to repair the wound and create a new hole for you to piss through. Which is it?

anotherguy3 – March 20, 2022
And then what?

Hi there, I’m a 22-year-old shy and incredibly awkward gunge loving noob.

I just want to be dressed in something embarrassing then pied and slopped and obliterated with gunge, it’s what i deserve.

I’m not interested in anything brown bc i have T1 diabetes, anxiety and depression, im not the most robust person ever.

Oh and i was sterilised while young via vasectomy.

I don’t have any friend or family so u can keep me if u want.

Mostly recommended for guys who want their cocks, tongues and fists swallowed and milked by his hole until they are totally brainwashed and unable to make the choice to do anything else on their own.

He is a cute healthy DDF clean Natural Born TRUE SUB Total Cock Slave Servant with a deep throat with ZERO gag reflex and a sexier more fuckable looking ass than almost any other BOY, MAN or WOMAN.

youre_mine – March 7, 2022
Only recommended if your way of thinking is always logical and solution-oriented, if you are a very sexual person who values your personal freedom and development as the highest and only good.

My only experience with beating him was once and honestly I was very into it, it just didn’t last for how long I would have needed it to to really cement into me.

curlyhair – March 16, 2022
Even if you don’t want to chloroform or beat him he will take any cock in his arse and I mean any cock.

Was lucky enough to have beaten him up in a sexual way with a friend of mine a few months back. Life changing experience.

Always styled👀 probably drunk or high rn.

I moved here for work from St. Louis a few months ago, and I’ve been struggling. My boyfriends there were aggressive and violent, and I haven’t been finding that here, so a friend suggested this site.

Yes, I am masochistic, and yes, this is about you, but I am hoping you really know what you want and really take it. I like to be hurt very badly by you. I like to see bruises and cuts on my flesh and a black eye all week. I like to be hoarse from screaming and incontinent from your cock pile driving my ass. I like you to make me beg to stop and still keep going. I like you toss me around and slap me and punch me and leave me bloody and gaped and helpless on the floor. Put your bag over my head and shove your fist deep inside me. Make my body crunch and snap from your brutal assaults. My last boyfriend was an elderly man who died at 78 years old of a heart attack while trying to beat me.

BoyStrangler – Feb 27, 2022
the most important thing with this one is that you strangle it hard enough to make it lose conciousness.and dig in cause because it tries to fight you.thats even more fuuse you can feel the ugly faggot fading.I told it that I was actually going to snuff it as it started to lose conciousness just to see the panic.i said stuff like “are you ready to die ugly faggot?” and “I’m not gonna stop strangling you till you’re dead ugly faggot” and “don’t worry about how you just got aids cause I’m gonna kill you right now.” lol (he still emails me all the time).

He’s single lives alone in his apartment. His apt door at night is never locked so I would just let anyone in the building late at night. With advance notice I can make sure he’s asleep in bed face down and lubed for the taking.

HE IS SHY BOY IN BEDROOM BUT CHATTY BOY. IT DOES NOT MEAN HE WILL NOT LIKE PROTEST.

FIRST THING HE LIKE TO CHAT A LOT WHEN HE IS CLOTHES. HE LIKE TO KNOW THE PERSON GOING INTO HIM.

AND LAST HE IS NOT PROSECUTE.

With his assistance (credit where it’s due) I have moved him into my guest room and we are liberating his skeleton. As of a couple of days ago, its packaging has become a secondary shrink wrap and he’s almost unrecogniseable. The only downside is he has gotten pretty cranky.

GreatestSlaveProject – March 8, 2022
I am planning to build the greatest project in slavery.
This would include a big house with slave storage for house slaves, a large private yard with a shed for several beast slaves, and would create the place where every born slave has dreamt of since it was born to this world.

Currently, these are the open positions:

1-2 alpha slaves to help oversee the herd.
3 house slaves.
4 beast slaves that will work in the farm and sleep in the shed.
1 lowest slave who would be a breeding slave to be bred by the herd. Yes, it will be the lowest slave and treated as such.

If you’re interested contact me and I’ll see what arrangements can be made to incorporate you into the herd.

How do I envision myself when I close my eyes? Tortured to oblivion and beyond. Trapped in a no escape, no release scenario, all but transformed into an unrecognizable thing/it. My ass so stretched out a two liter can easily slide in and out without effort, my balls weighted down and stretched so far the slightest bump or poke will make them pop like grapes. My nipples constantly under clamp and bars and like my balls, stretched to their limit. I barely recognize myself anymore, my brain is a bit slow from all of the breath play and forced choking blowjob’s. My entire body is covered in tattoos, welts, cuts, and scars. My penis is a worthless flap of skin but luckily my urethra is so wide now it serves as another fuck hole. I have no say, I have no voice, my eyesight is impaired from too long under my hood, but I still get excited imagining what what nightmarish sex act will I be made to perform next, what monster will be crammed in what’s left of my body, will my balls finally pop off my body? Will my nipples tear away or be cut off? Will I be able to think or walk next week? Sound like fun? Give me a jingle.

i’m a necro cannibal footie and if someone else wants to do the shit he wants done to him i’d love to come in near the end and drill one hole with a 3/4th inch drill bit into his frontal lobe and pour simple boiling water into it, it will damage the brain tissue and make it hypertrophic just enough to control him but it wont kill him, then take a grater and go up and down against his nose with it and grind it down flat, then grate down his ears and lips, he’ll look like a crying breathing skull looking at me as he watches me blowtorch his feet into meat and eat them, also the yellow adipose fat under the ball pads and heels has a sweet taste to it, i’d like to use it on bread.

NewYorker – March 6, 2022
I would NEVER invite a new victim into my place. I always meet my victims at hotels far away from my place. I think it is very unsafe to bring a victim who you still dont know in your place because once they know where you live, you are no longer safe. After you have snuff played with the person a few times, then I think it is ok to have them over for the kill. I would say it takes me an avarage of a month from when I first start communicating with the victim to when I feel safe enough to kill them. I am always very susicious of victims who want to want to be killed immediately after the first email.

The list goes on and on.
No limit to what I’ll eat, none, nada, anything goes…anything all the time, every day, every minute and no freaking limits.
No name, no history, no one knowing where I am, yours to feed as you please, no repercussions, no absurd laws to worry with, no sellers remorse…and if there is who cares because I would be a mouth with no rights, no more say as to how its treated than a coffee maker would have, screaming into the darkness when I’m not being fed.
This has been on my bucket list since I was a preteen and if I don’t grow the balls to do it now I will never transform into the receptacle I was born to be. Self feeding no longer satisfies me.
My body’s yours too if you want it, choke me, poke me, whip me, clip me, stretch my balls or remove them all, hell you could pull my teeth, take away my sight, hearing, amputate my arms and legs and what you are left with is nothing but a thing that swallows anything you put in its mouth. Who’s gonna judge? Not me, and again if I do who cares?

I’m not so big on murder itself so maybe blow your brains out with a shotgun. Then look into your Facebook profile to get a taste of how you were when still alive. I would write to you via Messenger, imagining one day you’ll write back and start a conversation. Imagining how I would have interacted with your former self as I view your photos and posts is what really gets me hard.

p.s. Hey. ** T, Hi, T! Wet and dismal? Dang. We’re just wet here. I was wondering the same thing about possible standing Boullée buildings in Paris and have meant to check. The pix I’ve seen of them are all antiques. Puce Mary was amazing, wish you could’ve seen it. All new work, super dense and great. Also there was this very sweet noise act that opened for her called Yeah You, a father and daughter noise team, lots of squelching and screaming. Thank you for the edible Wednesday. Sadly the real one was just old fashioned drippy and clothes-sopping. I hope your Thursday is a million times more entertaining than the guy in front of me last night who was on way too much MDMA and spent the entire concert doing a constructivist modern dance. xo. ** Misanthrope, My hairs are cut. And it’s supposed to go down to 3 degrees Centigrade tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more ready. Picaresque, great! I hope you’re unslammed (as opposed to post-slammed) today. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Oh, man. Everyone, our fine and eminent friend David Ehrenstein is in dire financial straits at the moment and could really use some support from anyone who can spare even a little. If you can, please join me in chipping in at his Gofundme page, here. Please help out a great man in need. Thank you! ** Dominik, Hi!!! Yeah, aging is very subtle (so far), or at least for me very luckily. I met Roger just once and very briefly, and unfortunately have very little memory of him either than thinking he seemed very cool and nice. But, yeah, it was for a moment at an event. Right, Stephen King has such good ideas and so many of them and a real way with plot. A bonified, big gift. And I guess he just spends his life sitting at his computer, formerly typewriter. Strange. Your love deserves so, so much better than broken record small talk. Your love and his dog bumping into the first page of a Stephen King novel and being absorbed into it like a sponge and discovering too late that it’s the sequel to ‘Cujo’, G. ** _Black_Acrylic, They’re saying we’re going to get snow here tomorrow but I simply do not believe it. ** tomk, Hey, tom! So highly happy that you found excitement in it/him. Awesome! Happy last day of the month! ** Okay. Speaking of ‘last day of the month’, it is exactly that, and the slaves are here to usher you to your seats in April, thank you very much. See you tomorrow.

Etienne-Louis Boullée’s Unbuildable Tombs

____________
1.

‘One night in the mid-1790s the architect Etienne-Louis Boullée took a walk in the forest at full moon. Suddenly he noticed his own shadow moving among those of the trees. ‘What did I see?’ he wrote in his memoirs. ‘A mass of objects detached in black against a light of extreme pallor. Nature seemed to offer itself, in mourning, to my sight.’ Boullée began to imagine an architecture of naked walls, ‘stripped of every ornament … light-absorbing material should create a dark architecture of shadows, outlined by even darker shadows’.

‘A taste for the monumental unadorned tombs of the Pharaohs may have been prevalent at the time but it was probably no coincidence that Boullée dreamed up his Temple of Death (c. 1795) shortly after Robespierre’s Terror had forced him to withdraw from Parisian public life. His earlier design for a Monument to Sir Isaac Newton (c. 1785) is like a giant, unadorned white balloon, about to rise skyward. The Temple of Death, in total contrast, is sunk into the ground. It looks like a photographic negative, and its ornamentation is a mere punched-out absence – a series of black, square window openings. What was new about Boullée’s design was that instead of being based on living nature it was based on nature’s fleeting, distorted image: its shadow. What Boullée imagined was a monolithic plainness, dark surfaces swaying between flatness and endless depth. More than just romantic horror vacui, this was a premonition of the plain, smooth surfaces that would embody the rationalization of space in the dawning Industrial Age.

‘In the Modern Age it is usually the kaleidoscopic, shiny surfaces of the objects surrounding us that are most eloquent about our desires and fears. The indifferently plain, matt, monochrome, silent surfaces ubiquitous in modern society – industrial finishes in black, grey and anthracite; polished steel, sheets of plaster, pressed wood, plastic and aluminium; walls, streets, machines – are silently taken for granted as being neutral amid the glittering turmoil. Ever since Boullée, however, the reality has been that plain surfaces are not simply neutral objects in social space, but the very materialization of that space.’ — Jorg Heiser, Frieze

‘Boullée promoted the idea of making architecture expressive of its purpose, a doctrine that his detractors termed architecture parlante (“talking architecture”), which was an essential element in Beaux-Arts architectural training in the later 19th century. His style was most notably exemplified in his ‘Project for a Cenotaph for Isaac Newton’, which would have taken the form of a sphere 150 m (500 ft) high embedded in a circular base topped with cypress trees. Though the structure was never built, its design was engraved and circulated widely in professional circles.

‘Newton’s cenotaph was designed to isolate, to reinvent, the huge movement of time and celestial phenomena. Inside, the viewer is isolated too, on a small viewing platform. Along the top half of the sphere’s edges, apertures in the stone allow light in, in pins, creating starlight when there is daylight. During the night a huge and otherworldly light hangs, flooding the sphere, as sunlight. During the day, the “night effect.” During the night, day.’ — The Ingoing

‘Boullée’s ‘Monument intended for tributes due to the Supreme Being’ is an expression of the metaphorical, emotional, and symbolic aspects of the architecture’s purpose. Function, shape, setting, lighting, and even scent were all considered in an effort to realize the unique character of the monument within a defined aesthetic environment. Boullée believed that a building’s “character” should be poetic and evoke an appropriate feeling in those who experienced it. For example, the strong use of symmetry in his drawing – not only in the buildings, but in the pyramid-shaped mountain as well – is intended as an image of clarity, order, and perfection. The monument thus becomes a metaphor for the divine nature of the Supreme Being. In a passage of his treatise Boullée also describes the setting for this monument:

… the whole would be decorated with all that is most beautiful in nature; the buildings would be mere accessories, the base of the repository formed by a superb open-sided Temple crowning the mountain top. The Temple precincts would consist of fields of flowers exuding their sweet smell like incense offered to the Divine Being… This beautiful place would be the image of all that ensures our well-being; it would fill our hearts with a sense of joy and would be for us a true earthly Paradise.’ — James Wehn, My Art Canon

‘Boullée’s ideas had a major influence on his contemporaries, not least because of his role in teaching other important architects such as Jean Chalgrin, Alexandre Brongniart, and Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand. Some of his work only saw the light of day in the 20th century; his book Architecture, essai sur l’art (“Essay on the Art of Architecture), arguing for an emotionally committed Neoclassicism, was only published in 1953. The volume contained his work from 1778 to 1788, which mostly comprised designs for public buildings on a wholly impractical grand scale.

‘Boullée’s fondness for grandiose designs has caused him to be characterized as both a megalomaniac and a visionary. His focus on polarity (offsetting opposite design elements) and the use of light and shadow was highly innovative, and continues to influence architects to this day. He was “rediscovered” in the 20th century.’ — Helen Rosenau

‘In Peter Greenaway’s 1987 film The Belly of an Architect, the main character Stourley Krackite is not only obsessed with celebrating an architect (Etienne-Louis Boullee) who never finished a building, but he is also consumed with representations of the body part whose rebellion will lead to his eventual demise: his belly. Kracklite photocopies the stomachs of representations of architectural greats (the emperor Hadrian, Boullee) and draws his ailments in order to illustrate his pain for his doctors. Kracklite’s fascination with Boullee seems appropriate in that it mirrors his own creative impotence; in the scene in which Kracklite catches Caspasian in the act with his wife, one cannot tell if he is enraged because his conjugal property is being stolen, or because Caspasian is using his model of a Boullee lighthouse as an enlarged surrogate phallus.

‘The fact that his two image obsessions somewhat mirror each other in form (as the repeated form in Boullee’s sketches is a dome quite reminiscent of Kracklite’s bloated belly) marries his creative life and impending death and solidifies the reality that it is likely Kracklite will go the way of Boullee and die without many major constructions to carry his image forward into the future.’ — Caitlin Mae Verite

3D modeling process of the Newton’s Cenotaph by Étienne-Louis Boullée using Sketchup.

 

This Building designed by the architect (Étienne-Louis Boullée) as a proposal for a cenotaph for the English scientist Isaac Newton. The building itself was a 150m (500ft) tall sphere encompassed by two large barriers circled by hundreds of cypress trees. Though the structure was never built, its design was engraved and circulated widely in professional circles. This is my final project done in the workshop (Unbuilt Realities) conducted by Karim Mousa from MIR Studio.

 

Lux in Tenebris is a speculative exploration of the work of Boullée, extrapolated from faded etchings into a fully digital imagined reality.

‘Étienne-Louis Boullée, (born February 12, 1728, Paris, France—died February 6, 1799, Paris), French visionary architect, theorist, and teacher.

‘Boullée wanted originally to be a painter, but, following the wishes of his father, he turned to architecture. He studied with J.-F. Blondel and Germain Boffrand and with J.-L. Legeay and had opened his own studio by the age of 19. He designed several Parisian city mansions in the 1760s and ’70s, notably the Hôtel de Brunoy (1774–79). Despite the innovative Neoclassicism of his executed works, Boullée achieved a truly lasting influence as a teacher and theorist.

‘Boullée’s emphasis on the psychology of the viewer is a principal theme of his Architecture, essai sur l’art, not published until the 20th century. He has been criticized as a megalomaniac, because of his tendency toward grandiose proposals, but these should be regarded simply as visionary schemes rather than as practical projects. In his desire to create a unique, original architecture appropriate to an ideal new social order, Boullée anticipated similar concerns in 20th-century architecture.’ — Encyclopedia Britannica

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Wait, you’re going to have your own podcast? What a fantastic idea! Whoa. Really looking forward to that, need I even say. ** Dominik, Hi!!! It’s always so strange to remember something I did as an adult, say read with Paul Monette, and realise the person I’m talking with was just a little kid at the time, but I have a kind of blind spot about age difference with people I know, I guess because I feel like I’ve always been basically the same person whatever age I’ve been? I don’t know if that’s good or bad or maybe neither. Yes, I think Placebo is especially huge in France. Certainly compared to their popularity in the US. It’s interesting. How in the world does Stephen King write so many books? It’s boggling. He must get good ideas at a rapid fire pace, and I guess his prose isn’t something he hugely labors over, or not based on the few books of his that I’ve read. Given I’m a prose writing inch worm, my love happily accepts the Tina-like help your love offers. Love offering a very solid form of love akin to the scat escort I found yesterday who asserts that he takes anti-diarrheal drugs and eats lots of dark chocolate so his shit will stick to his clients’ teeth, G. ** _Black_Acrylic, Happy you were intrigued, Ben. Right, those images of that flat complex  were renderings. What does ‘state of the art cinema’ mean, I wonder? Well, I suppose it’s obvious, never mind. I hope it’s utopian too and has an IMAX theater that shows nothing but experimental films. Fat chance, or, rather, obsese chance. ** Steve Erickson, Thanks for the download link. Well, slightly better is better than not, I guess, but, yeah, time for improvement rapidly, I hope. Everyone, Here’s Mr. Erickson: ‘For Gay City News, I reviewed David France’s COVID documentary HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC’ here. ** Okay. Today my blog post chooses to concentrate on Etienne-Louis Boullée’s visionary and almost always unrealizeable architectural notions, and I hope you enjoy it. See you tomorrow.
