Just a regular Asian teenager who enjoys asphyxiation, bondage, all kinds of scenarios where I am defeated, and most importantly killed. I love the feeling of danger, not knowing when my killer will end my life, and what he will do with my dead body afterwards.

You may have seen videos or pictures of me role playing strangulation, death scenarios. Everything I upload is me passed out after being strangled, not real death

My biggest dream is to finally get snuffed for real, I am willing to take pictures of the process or get it filmed.

Hi. I planned to stay there dead all night, but it got too cold.

Dandy – Nov 15, 2023
I’ll share this rather long story. Last month my brother’s teenaged son threw a Halloween party, and I let him use my house because it’s quite spacious. The place filled up with crazily dressed high schoolers, and as I have a taste for teenaged boys, it was pretty heavenly. I noticed this boy among them, covered with zombie make up and dressed in strategically ripped up, “blood” soaked skater clothes as though he was the zombie of a skateboarder who’d died in some skateboarding mishap. He was acting spazzy and jerkily like a zombie, and it was, well, quite a sight.

I thought this boy must know he’s driving me crazy, and, well, he did. Signals were exchanged, and I headed to my garage with him lumbering behind me. When we got inside, he was groaning and rocking around like a zombie, and I wasn’t sure how to start. Soon enough he started pawing at one of his jeans pockets and, with great difficulty, pulled out a toy gun and jabbed it in my direction. With a chuckle, I took it from him, put the barrel to his forehead and pulled the trigger. He instantly dropped to the floor, dead as a doornail. After a few seconds thought, I picked him up and draped him face down over the washing machine.

I took a couple of deep hits of poppers, pulled his jeans down and, going along with the “dead” act, fucked him as hard as I could and filled his ass with one of the biggest loads I’ve ever dropped, thought I was going to pass out, felt like about a dozen shots. When I pulled out of him my cum was running out of his hole like a river after a heavy rain. Afterwards I tried to rouse him, but he wouldn’t break character, so I thought he’ll sort it out and went back to the party. I didn’t notice him again, but the house was very crowded.

The party ended about three hours later, and I went in the garage just to check, and he was still there in the same position, hadn’t seemed to move a muscle. I feared he was actually dead until I saw him breathing. I had a moment of thinking, what if he was dead, and when I thought he looked so fucking hot dead that I buried my cock in his ass and went another round. After I unloaded, he still wouldn’t break character, so I wound up carrying him outside and sitting him in my porch swing thinking he’ll leave when he’s ready.

I woke up late the next morning and went out to check, half thinking he’d still be sitting there and what would I do if he was, and half wishing he would be there, but he was gone. Apologies for the long story, but I just thought I would reinforce what a master of his “dead” fetish this boy is.

Proud gun play loving gay bottom. In these dangerous times in USA, I’m so happy so many men are carrying guns.

And if you are into guns (revolver, pistol, shotgun, rifle) and especially if you want to use them, put those key words in your message so I can find you! Just be halfway sane between your ears. There are alot of us out there that enjoy this and we need to not be afraid.

Ready to pull the trigger when you shoot your load in me? Or several times before? I am seriously looking for the ultimate fun.

His name is Tim. Little about him. He works a very low paying job and is barely scraping by. He had two siblings one died in 2019 and the other he no longer talks to. He rarely talks to his biological mom and dad. He currently lives with a friend on their couch. He helps with rent and utilities, so don’t think he’s a bum.

I don’t really have preferences for the person other than I like them a lot older, and I mean A LOT older. So if you’re in your 60s or 70s please meet me. Other than that not bothered just the older the better.

I have an elderly boyfriend, but we don’t have enough space for me to slut out in either of our houses yet.

I prefer to be a sex toy with little to no brain activity or movement so if you’re not very aggressive I’m definitely not the person for you.

If I haven’t tried something before let’s do it I want to try everything at least once if it goes badly then oh well.

Meetings with me must be super sex-driven. I’ll talk with you before or something if you insist, but that can’t be the reason we do things.

2diefor – Nov 13, 2023
The violence with him is intoxicating. Why is it so powerfully life-affirming and profoundly satisfying for to brutalise, torture and violate the sexually arousing boy? Because the overwhelming intensity of the victim’s suffering reduces him to mere erotic animal in my hands, isolates him, destroys his ability for rational thought as he drowns in the horror and pain that subsumes his existence, unable to string a sentence together, only animal grunts and disjointed words, begging and desperate; beyond this he can only squeal, scream, weep, moan and writhe in the abyss of his agony – all of which urgently reinvigorates my joyful attack on him as it nourishes my natural imperative to express my power over him through unrestrained violence. He is now mere flesh and blood, and that flesh is besieged, invaded and violated, just as his selfhood is degraded and dehumanised, finally forcibly stripped from him, so that his whole being is stripped bare before me. Retaining only the horrifying, inescapable ability to experience extremes of corporeal pain and pleasure, his body a sadistically guarded prison from which he longs desperately but vainly for release. As such, I assert total dominion over this object of my lust, empty him of agency and meaning while reinforcing my own; he is beyond submission as he no longer even has the freedom to allow him to submit, I have turned him irrevocably into my suffering object, my hollowed-out, abject, unrecompensed whore slave. The thing that his physical beauty condemn him to be, he is disposable fuckmeat. Just a thing. The bitch is mine, I’ll not spare him now. ALL men UNITE in the WAR ON BOYS.

I have no interest in my own cum, so that part can be shut down. Turn off my pipes.

No family to worry about, so never seen again, not an issue Sir(s).

I do not really know if I’m concerned about an age group, but I would say over 50 up to 80 Sir(s).

How do I start this off?

I’ve had one relationship with a Master. He treated me with care and affection, as well as occasional sternness and sexual assertiveness, which I enjoyed. I was very much in love. It had to end, however, due to circumstances beyond his control. Sex with him was very violent and he was afraid he would kill me if we continued. I believe it was not an easy decision for him. Nonetheless, I was devastated for what I had lost.

I have tried to crawl out of that darkness in the past few months, but I feel that I am unable to do it alone. I’m again looking for someone like him. Someone who has a strong desire to protect me. Someone who has an overpowering desire to have sex with me. Someone who takes advantage of my very pessimistic world view. Someone who enjoys the companionship of an unconditionally loyal boy.

You can call me Andrea X or Andrea High X. The first being my longest running used name given by those I consider chosen fam. High being my name given to me by men who know how deep the rabbit can go – how much of truly dirty twisted *,*,*,* slut I am 😈 Both names given as my “stage name” used in the escort & porn world. It’s stuck into my darker & deeper ventures as well. There appears to be a rebrand to encompass my full pigginess coming soon. Don’t ask me I’m just the nasty cute bottom who performs extreme sex acts – the brilliant minds who turned my “interests” into the money makers they’ve been. I mention some new filthy act that makes my pecker throb – they brainstorm how “legally” use it to make $. I’m 24 and been sexually active since (the 1st #2 plus the 2nd #4) you do the math. You don’t have to check again – the single digit number is correct. He was my grandfather but the love of my life- extremely horny & I worshipped his cock. Six years was the length of my passionate sexual relationship with him. You’ll notice the #6 repeats itself often. It’s my very very lucky number and also the length of my Cock – in inches. So when I was six my crazed sex life with my dad’s wife’s father was done. I’d serviced him plus 30 other men total by my twelfth bday. It’s was a lot of cock for premature as I was but fuck it was amazing and if I’d had my way even as a boy I’d have had 300 if left to my own devices. My grandfather called me insatiable, but mostly when he referred to his grandson – he called me the hottest slut on earth. Fast forward my heartbreak from the demise of my grandfather – so next came cruising for that daddy dick started in bathrooms, roadsides, parks, etc – letting complete strangers slide raw cocks and a lot more into my body, it was 2 years after the last fuck session with my grandfather that my cute boyish ass finally got me captured and sex trafficked by two drunk blue collar men I cruised in a park who chloroformed me and tag team bred my fourteen year old ass in one of their basements for three weeks before making me a business. Cue a few years of countless cum loads dripping out of my lucrative slutty boy hole before they got the bright idea of renting me for porn. Thanks to that my price skyrocketed for six (!) years and men flew in from all over the world to have me, and I’m talking billionaires and average dudes and sleazy studs and serious sickos who wanted to turn a mattress into my death bed. I was so high most of the time I probably wouldn’t have known the difference between a knife blade and a cock if they hadn’t asked me. BlanketStatement NEVER ask a drugged up bottom if you can do the ultimate extreme. If you’ve seen the porn ‘No Soul’ you know how far I go. So fast forward to me turning 24. My keepers think my body’s just about shot its hotness wad and my looks are almost at the point where age isn’t just number. If you still need a magnifying glass, I’m for sale, point blank. Permanent sale, retirement, owner takes all. Anything goes, including the unthinkable. Hint- if you filmed the unthinkable you’d probably make your investment back in one pop. Contact me for the price. I won’t say the number but, surprise (!), it’s in the six figures. Low six figures.

Hi, big fan. I would be willing to pay 6 figures for you under the following conditions:

🔥 Be willing to provide ass anytime I want it, for as long as I want, exactly the way I instruct. I always choke the guys I fuck, and I must continue choking you while I drain even if you vomit and black out.
🔥 Be willing to keep your ass smooth and douched all the time.
🔥 Be willing and eager to not like your penis and not enjoy cumming, and that doesn’t mean “anal orgasms” or “periodical milking” but no orgasms at all, ever again. Total erectile dysfunction.
🔥 Be willing and eager to provide one-sided monogamy. You only fuck me, but I fuck whoever I want.
🔥 Be ready to grow your hair past your shoulders and be willing to comb it or not comb it the way I like. Long hair is extremely important to me, and it is equally important that you want to please me with your long hair.
🔥 Be willing to relocate to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
🔥 Send me a clear and updated photo of your anus.

It has long denied its true being; it has been a major game player; led on many; followed through with a rare few but has never fully been taken. It has misled others in many shameful ways.

I’m exploring the world of submission for the first time, and my shy nature adds an intriguing layer to the journey. Behind my reserved eyes, a world of fantasies stirs. Picture a quiet young bookworm stepping into a realm where my whispered words are audible.

In the canvas of exploration, I am the untouched parchment, waiting for the strokes of dominance to paint desires unspoken. The anticipation sends shivers through my inhibited exterior. Each encounter will become a page turned, revealing a narrative written in the ink of my mind.

p.s. Hey. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Yes, I think that’s the culprit. Stuck in his ways. Love can be the deliveroo of the private safe and bank vault market, problem solved. I … think I’ve exiled the XTC song into the mulch at the back of my mind for the time being. Hopefully you too. Love hopes young strt men all over the world can be strangled to death during gay sex, G. ** Jack Skelley, Jackapalooza. Ah, you devil. I know we discussed not so long ago your letter to Andy Partridge about W. Blake and his surely disingenuous response. I think I seem to be stuck being Dennissy. Stay Jackiest! To help you, here’s a name-appropriate ear worm for you: ‘Jackie, Dressed in Cobras’. xo, moi. ** Tosh Berman, Hey. I recommend starting with the XTC albums ‘Drums and Wires’ and ‘Black Sea’ because those were their peaks, I think. I’m 100% positive there’ll be a producer who gloms on to your project whilst flecked with drool. Me, I’m the opposite. I hate showing my things to anyone for commentary until I’m sure it’s finished. The few times I did with that with novels it completely shut me down, when the response was positive or negative. Weird of me, obviously. You must know people who know of interesting, smart, adventurous producers, no? I one billion percent do not recommend ours. ** Sypha, Hi, James. Well, that was lovely, thank you, sir. ** _Black_Acrylic, Right. I assume you saw the little ‘Inside’ paean in the post. ** Charalampos, That’s a strange and interesting homily there about the open scissors. Good poetry to it. No, ‘Rocket …’ was playing over and over in mind unbidden. I did listen to it for real yesterday, and that seemed to kill the bug. Right, I remember someone made that playlist for my novels. That was cool of them. Huh. Maximally pleasant Paris vibe(s). ** ellie, Hi. My mom was kind of wacky in good and horrible ways, and she believed in past life regression, and she used to make me stand in front of a mirror holding a lit candle and stare into the mirror until I saw all my past lives distort my face into the faces I had in my past lives, which ‘did’ happen only because you start sort of hallucinating. Anyway, I was happy when I got old enough to tell her no, fuck off. I’ve never heard about that scissors under the pillow thing. That’s really kind of an exciting mental image for some reason. Wow. Oh, gosh, thank you for querying your boss. We have people here we want to work with, and they have facilities, we really just need to find the way to pay them, that’s the problem, but I think we’re sort of starting to figure out how we can do that. But thank you so much! That was better than a wish for sure. I’m kind of a logical type of guy. How’s everything in your head and hood? ** Misanthrope, One of these days I’m going to become good friends with millionaires who love to share their wealth. Well, except that millionaires don’t do that except in exceedingly rare moments, and that’s why they’re millionaires. I have a great pair of scissors but they’re only good for cutting paper, and, really, how often do you need to cut paper these days. ** Darbyy🐻, Um, I think there are better albeit sadly more expensive options out there, ha ha. Obviously I agree about the system. I like statistics. I’ve always been addicted to stupid things like TV ratings and weekend movie box office charts even though I don’t really gave a shit which films or shows fail or don’t. It’s comforting or something? Favourite bear? Oh, gosh, I probably have to be boring and say polar bears. I think if one attacked me, I’d be dead, wouldn’t I? I think that would be too late. If I saw one running towards me maybe I’d lie on the ground and look harmless or something? What’s your fave bear and attack survival method? ** Nika Mavrody, Hi, Oh, gosh, thanks, Nika. ** Right. The slaves up there will see you all safely into December. See you tomorrow.

* (restored)

 

‘Researchers into the history of scissors generally agree that scissors were invented in Egypt around 1500 B.C.E. and were first fashioned of bronze, spreading slowly through the rest of the ancient world through trade and exploration. These early scissors were, as best archeologists can determine, made of a single piece of metal. They were mechanically two levers joined by a loop which served as a fulcrum.

 

 

‘Each sharpened level was a scissor, and the pair was called, scissors. On about 100 A.D. Roman craftsmen developed cross-blade scissors. That is, the blade-edges crossed and slid past each other when cutting. The looping fulcrum remained. Even now, gardening catalogs in the U.S. and Britain offer grass-edging shears that demonstrated the cross-blade principle. Like the Roman model, these scissors rested in an open position after use.

 

 

‘As is the case with so many early tools, the question of modification and innovation remains in the dark. At some point, someone clearly realized that greater control with less hand strength could be obtained by separating the scissors into two pieces anchoring them with a screw or rivet and making loops for fingers.

 

 

‘Looking at old scissors suggests that for a number of centuries, depending on the country of origin, both designs coexisted with craftsmen and purchasers deciding which design served specific purposes: cutting grapevines, thin sheets of metal, paper, thread and cloth. The final step in creating modern scissors is documented. In London in 1761 Robert Hinchcliffe developed the method for steel-casting scissors. What he produced took the form we recognize today.

 

 

‘Early scissors, were, of course, sharpened. To denote and protect their sharpness, scissors were often encased in a leather cover, similar to the sheath for a knife. Like knives, over the years in many cultures scissors became the focus of folk superstitions, some of which exist in less fearful form today. The first is that scissors, like a knife, should never be given as a gift. Doing that will cut the relationship between giver and recipient. The usual evasion of the dangerous qualities of this gift was the playful purchase of the knife or scissors, and the amount was small ranging from an English half-penny to a shiny U.S. dime or quarter. To this day, those giving a gift of cutlery often tape a penny to the package in case the recipient does not know that sharp gifts must be bought.

 

 

‘In some cultures the cutting qualities of knives or scissors meant that they were not passed hand to hand but rather set down for a friend to pick up thus preserving the friendship. Old wives said that cutting worked more than one way: a pair of scissors placed under the pillow of a woman in labor or a person with a painful injury would cut the pain in half. And, whether given in a case or not, scissors were sometimes hung by one handle on a hook beside or over the door, their open position forming a crude cross and their exposed sharp blades threatening damage to any evil influences attempting to enter the house.

 

 

‘Clearly the history of scissors would not be the best choice for a factual sixth-grade report. As with many inventions, modifications and improvements on an original idea came, like the idea itself, from obscure people who were too busy working to realize they were becoming a part of history. There’s a certain pleasure in this obscurity. The history of scissors is the history of ordinary people making their way through the world and solving problems, very much the way we do.’ — Janet Beal, Info Guru

Game piece

 

‘Throughout Japanese history there are frequent references to “sansukumi-ken” (三竦み拳), meaning “ken” (拳) [fist] games with a three-way [三] (san) deadlock [竦み] (sukumi), in the sense that A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A. The games originated in China before being imported to Japan and subsequently becoming popular.

 

 

‘The earliest Japanese “sansukumi-ken” game was known as “mushi-ken” (虫拳), which was imported directly from China. In “Mushi-ken” the “frog” (represented by the thumb) is superseded by the “slug” (represented by the little finger), which, in turn is superseded by the “snake” (represented by the index finger), which is superseded by the “frog”. Although this game was imported from China the Japanese version differs in the animals represented. In adopting the game, the original Chinese characters for the poisonous centipede (蜈蜙) were apparently confused with the characters for the “slug” (蛞蝓). The most popular sansukumi-ken game in Japan was kitsune-ken (狐拳). In the game, a supernatural fox called a kitsune (狐) defeats the village head, the village head (庄屋) defeats the hunter, and the hunter (猟師) defeats the fox. Kitsune-ken, unlike mushi-ken or rock–paper–scissors, is played by making gestures with both hands.

 

 

‘Kitsune-ken was a popular Japanese rock–paper–scissors variant. From left to right: The hunter (ryōshi), village head (shōya) and fox (kitsune). Today, the best-known “sansukumi-ken” is called “jan-ken”, which is a variation of the Chinese games introduced in the 17th century. “Jan-ken” uses the rock, paper, and scissors signs and is the game that the modern version of rock–paper–scissors derives from directly. Hand-games using gestures to represent the three conflicting elements of rock, paper, and scissors have been most common since the modern version of the game was created in the late 19th century, between the Edo and Meiji periods.

 

 

‘By the early 20th century, rock–paper–scissors had spread beyond Asia, especially through increased Japanese contact with the west. Its English-language name is therefore taken from a translation of the names of the three Japanese hand-gestures for rock, paper and scissors: elsewhere in Asia the open-palm gesture represents “cloth” rather than “paper”. The shape of the scissors is also adopted from the Japanese style.

 

 

‘The Paper Scissors Stone Club was founded in London, England in 1842. The charter appeared in Edition 1, Volume 1, of the club’s publication, The Stone Scissors Paper. It read,”The club is dedicated to the exploration and dissemination of knowledge regarding the game of Paper Scissors Stone and providing a safe legal environment for the playing of said game.” In 1918, the club’s name was changed to World RPS Club. Soon after that, the club moved its headquarters to Toronto, Canada. In 1925, the club had more than 10,000 active members, changed its name the World RPS Society, and hosted its first annual championship.

 

 

‘In Britain in 1924 it was described in a letter to a newspaper as a hand game, possibly of Mediterranean origin, called “zhot”. A reader then wrote in to say that the game “zhot” referred to was evidently Jan-ken-pon, which she had often seen played throughout Japan. Although at this date the game appears to have been new enough to British readers to need explaining, the appearance by 1927 of a popular thriller with the title Scissors Cut Paper, followed by Stone Blunts Scissors (1929), suggests it quickly became popular.

 

 

‘In 1927, a children’s magazine in France described it in detail, referring to it as a “jeu japonais” (“Japanese game”). Its French name, “Chi-fou-mi”, is based on the Old Japanese words for “one, two, three” (“hi, fu, mi”).

 

 

‘A New York Times article of 1932 on the Tokyo rush hour describes the rules of the game for the benefit of American readers, suggesting it was not at that time widely known in the U.S. The 1933 edition of the Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia described it as a common method of settling disputes between children in its article on Japan; the name was given as “John Kem Po” and the article pointedly asserted, “This is such a good way of deciding an argument that American boys and girls might like to practice it too.”‘ — collaged

An angry dad chucked a pair of scissors at his ten-year-old daughter because she would not do her homework – and the point pierced more than an inch into her brain. Surgeons had to remove a section of her skull in a risky operation lasting several hours. Amazingly, the blade did not hit any major vessels in the brain and it could be successfully removed.

 

Curtis Francis, 12, who suffers from severe learning difficulties put nail scissors into his mouth handle-first, getting them stuck in his throat. Doctors took 90 minutes to remove them under general anaesthetic and miraculously Curtis suffered only minor cuts. The youngster’s learning difficulties have left him with no sense of danger, similar to a toddler. His mum Karon Edwards, 50, first thought he had swallowed a pen lid but became worried when he began coughing up blood. The mum-of-two, who lives in Bristol with Curtis and his elder brother Shane, 15, said: ”It was absolutely horrendous.”

 

On January 20th, a man with scissors lodged in his skull calmly walked into a hospital ER and said, “I have a small problem.” This happened after a bar patron in Mexico was stabbed in the skull with a pair of scissors. Jonas Acevedo Monroy, 32, received help from his friend Nandor Altamirano Carvajal, who drove bleeding Monroy to the hospital to save his life. “Jonas was as always full of high spirits and was being charming with everyone in the bar when one of the locals took umbrage,” said Altamirano Carvajal, Mirror reported. “Jonas offered to buy the man a drink, but the guy pulled out a pair of scissors from his jacket and stabbed him in the head. What he was doing with a pair of scissors in his pocket I don’t know. It was really shocking.”

 

69-year-old Pat Skinner of Sydney, Australia had an operation in May 2001, but continued to complain of intense pain. It wasn’t until she received this x-ray 18 months later that it was discovered the surgeon had accidentally sewed her up with his surgical scissors still inside.

 

Four-year-old Chinese boy Xiao Yu was helping his parents decorate their front door for spring festival in 2010 when he fell onto the scissors he was holding. You can only imagine the horror his parents must have felt when they saw that the scissors had pierced through their young son’s face.

 

In a freak accident, 86-year-old gardener Leroy Luetscher fell face-first onto a pair of pruning shears outside his Phoenix, AZ home in July 2012. And while medical staff were no doubt relieved to discover that Luetscher had not fallen on the garden tool’s blades, an X-ray revealed the true extent of the damage: the handle had passed through the man’s eye socket, penetrating all the way down to his neck, where it rested on his carotid artery.

 

Sasha Ulyanov, 3, was playing at home with his three sisters when he ran into a wall carrying a pair of nail scissors and stabbed himself in the heart. The children’s mother was out taking lunch to their father, who was working in the field. “Sasha is our youngest child. He was running with the scissors through the kitchen door and misjudged it, and ran into the door frame with the scissors in his hand. He fell to the floor screaming, and our oldest daughter, Diana, who is 15, picked him up and rushed him next door to our neighbor,” the children’s mother, Natalia Baltsyukevich, 35, told CEN. That neighbor, Liubov Mikhalchik, is an emergency paramedic in their village of Pashkovich in Eastern Belarus Voranava District. “I realized straightaway that it was a serious injury.” Mikhalchik said. “You could see the scissors vibrating to the beating of his heart.

 

Apparently someone in China borrowed a pair of scissors to clean their teeth after a meal and swallowed them by mistake when a friend told a joke and they laughed.

Did you know?

Where did that sc in scissors come from? We used to spell it sissors or sizars. The classicizers of the 1500s thought the word went back to Latin scindere, to split, but it actually came to us (via French) from cisorium, “cutting implement.” The same assumption turned sithe into scythe.

The largest pair of functional scissors in the world measure 2.31m (7 ft 7 in) from tip to handle. They were manufactured by Neerja Roy Chowdhury (India) and unveiled on 16 August 2009. Neerja was inspired to make the scissors after writing her own comic book which she describes as ‘unconventional’.

Scissors were used in the arenas by the gladiators of the ancient Roman Empire. The gladiators who wielded the scissors in combat were also known as scissors. Made from hardened steel, the scissors measured up to one and a half feet long. They were surprisingly light, weighing in at an easy 5-7 pounds; this allowed the scissor to be wielded with a good amount of speed. The scissors’ unique shape and design at that time made them a crowd favorite.

The Scissors is great for intimate sex How does it work? Easy to do, complicated to explain. So you lie facing each other and put your top leg over his hip. He grabs your bum and then you out your arm round his waist and push your bottom leg against his leg. The turn-ons: You’ll be rubbing your clitoral area on his groin and you get to kiss each other. The turn-offs: A little boring and pedestrian for some. It’s not visually exciting but physically it’s amazing.

It is unlucky to give someone scissors for a present, as it will “cut the ties” of your friendship.

In Romania they believe that if you drop a pair scissors on the floor, it means your boyfriend/girlfriend cheated on you.

Tired of using a rolling pizza cutter that barely cuts? You can use an ingenious new invention called the “Pizza Scissors Spatula”. This brilliant kitchen tool merges scissors and a spatula so you can cut and pick up a pizza slice all in one quick motion without burning your hands or having any toppings fall off.

If you dip the pointed end of your scissors into a container of bubble solution, you will be able to push the scissors through the wall of ta bubble without popping it. When something wet touches a bubble, it doesn’t poke a hole in the wall of the bubble, it just slides through and the bubble forms right around it.

X-CROSS (2008) comes from BATTLE ROYALE 2’s Kenta Fukasaku. DEATH NOTE’s Tetsuya Oishi penned the script based off the novel by Nobuyuki Joko. Here’s the synopsis: Still stinging from a bad break-up, Shiyori heads off on a girls-only weekend with her best friend Aiko. Unfortunately, the remote hot springs resort they go to isn’t exactly as promised; the brochure didn’t mention anything about bizarre locals, blood rituals, or crazed harajuku girls brandishing frightfully large pairs of scissors. Soon, each girl is running for her life—they’re just not running from the same things.

You want to squirm in your seat? Just watch the moment in The Dead Zone when Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) is able to detect through his psychic abilities that Deputy Dodd is a murderer. Yes, watch as Deputy Dodd is cornered and makes that fateful decision to end his own life. But not with a gun. Not with a rope or by jumping out a window either. Deputy Dodd is creative everybody! He wants to go out like no one else ever has: by slamming his head into a sharp pair or scissors of course. Now even though they don’t show the scissors actually going into his skull, it’s the sheer brilliance of the set up and then seeing the aftermath that is so effective and cringe-worthy.

How Melancholie der Engel (2009) attains an atmosphere of depression and dread from the beginning however, is truly cheap and distasteful. Insects and animals are crushed and tortured at intervals; a small lizard is crushed to death, in another moment a snails eyes are cut off with scissors – all real. I didn’t see (excuse the pun) any reason for this to happen, considering the movie has enough fictional violence and crazy debauchery on its own. For example, an old man who joins the group early on brings a girl in a wheelchair to the “party” who is openly abused and left lying around like an object. Later they cut this old man’s skin off with scissors (also for no reason) and he’s left to crawl home with his guts hanging out. The group burn him on a bonfire, at which point another character is that excited he gets someone to masturbate him to climax in explicit close-up. In addition, the movie contains people being defecated and urinated on, both alive and dead.

Corpse Party: Tortured Souls (2013): A girl has a vision: she wakes up in a dark room lying on the floor and having her legs and hands tied. She finds herself lying among some children (a boy and two girls), who are tied as well. She gets her eyes tied by a man. After that, the children get themselves killed with scissors one after another. We see the boy’s tongue being cut off with scissors and thrown on the floor. Then, his body is stabbed multiple times again with scissors (not shown, but in the end of the scene we see the boy’s dead body with its entrails revealed). A little girl gets a half of her head cut off with scissors (not shown, but in the end, a part of her head is shown dropping on the floor and leaving a lot of blood). Then, a girl that has a vision, gets her eyes revealed. She finds a little girl standing in front of her with scissors in her hand. A few seconds later, we see the little girl stabbing another girl in her eye and pulling it out. A little girl is shown being tied to the table. Soon, a man that stands in front of her, stabs her in leg with scissors. Then, she gets her eye pulled out (not shown, but heard). We see her bloody eye socket and a wound on her leg later. After that, a man stabs a girl in chest with scissors (we see a blood spraying and hear a girl screaming). A boy is pierced in stomach from the back with scissors (his entrails are shown falling out of his body). Then, he gets his skull smashed graphically (we see a bloody hand sticking out of his mouth). We see a group of children (ghosts) joyfully killing other children by stabbing them with scissors in eyes, neck and head. A boy is stabbed in neck with scissors with bloody results. A boy is stabbed in eye with scissors off-screen. A man is stabbed in back with scissors. A little girl stabs a boy in hand with scissors. After that, she stabs him in stomach.

Beili Liu The Mending Project (2011): The installation consists of hundreds of Chinese scissors suspended from the ceiling, pointing downwards. The hovering, massive cloud of scissors alludes to distant fear, looming violence and worrisome uncertainty. The performer sits beneath the countless sharp blades of the scissors, and performs an on-going simple task of mending. […] As each visitor enters the space, one is asked to cut off a piece of the white cloth hung near the entrance, and offer the cut section to the performer. She then continuously sews the cut pieces onto the previous ones. The mended fabric grows in size throughout the duration of the performance, and takes over the vast area of the floor beneath the scissors.

Regina José Galindo’s practice is the embodiment of Akira Kurosawa’s dictum, “To be an artist means never to avert one’s eyes,” and she challenges the viewer to do the same. Much of her work deals with political violence, especially against women–and it’s not pretty. In one of her most graphic works, titled Himenoplastia (Hymenoplasty) she videotapes her own (botched) hymen reconstruction surgery.

 

Japanese artist Sachiko Abe sits in a white gown, cutting countless sheets of A4 paper into thin, wispy strips. For the performance piece known as Cut Paper, Abe sits for hours on end meticulously shredding paper whose cut feathery strands measure a mere 0.5mm in width. She first began this practice while in a mental institution over 15 years ago because it proved to be a calming activity.

 

In this performance Yoko Ono sat on a stage and invited the audience to approach her and cut away her clothing, so it gradually fell away from her body. Challenging the neutrality of the relationship between viewer and art object, Ono presented a situation in which the viewer was implicated in the potentially aggressive act of unveiling the female body, which served historically as one such ‘neutral’ and anonymous subject for art. Emphasizing the reciprocal way in which viewers and subjects become objects or each other, Cut Piece also demonstrates how viewing without responsibility has the potential to harm or even destroy the object of perception.

 

You are invited to join performance artist, Caroline Wright, in a presentation of Manicure at Ham House and Garden, Richmond, on Wed 15 August 2012, as part of Garden of Reason. We need around 100 volunteers to assist the artist in cutting a large area of grass into a pattern reflecting the black and white chequerboard floor of the Great Hall. We will attempt to do this in one day using only hairdressing scissors. Manicure recreates the past endeavour of the garden staff, creating a lawn by cutting the grass by hand. The artist takes this to an extreme by using scissors, symbolising the power of the aristocracy and the status in the 17th-century of a well-trimmed lawn.

p.s. Hey. ** Dee Kilroy, Hi, Dee. Yeah, it’s a tough regulation to work around. Sneakiness becomes the byword. Thank you about the travails. We will figure it out. We’re starting to sort out how to do that already. xoxo. ** Misanthrope, Hey. Oh, he’s still on FB? Maybe he unfriended me. I’ll go try to barge through his door. We will. And thank you for the confidence, bud. ** _Black_Acrylic, Oh, good, I’m glad he broke through. How can I resist a track called ‘San Francisco Dance’, ha ha. I’ll hit it. Thank you, Ben. ** Dominik, Hi!!! I don’t think I’ve liked Fincher’s stuff more than just mildly since maybe ‘Zodiac’? Well, there’s also bank vaults and private safes and stuff. Although I guess you’d have to chloroform some security people, so maybe a constant supply of chloroform would be love’s next task. Well, and then I guess the power to give anyone amnesia. But that’s a lot to ask of anyone, even love. Three and half weeks of patience is a lot to ask too, ha ha. Love pulling the plug on the record player in my mind that has been playing one song (XTC’s ‘Rocket from a Bottle’) nonstop for three days now for absolutely unknown reasons (except that it seems to be brutally catchy), G. ** Tosh Berman, That’s probably true. Bad vs. good re: commitment. We storyboarded our film before we had the location or actors, and we changed our minds onset all the time, but it was still really helpful. Congrats on the new draft. So what is the plan? Do you have a producer on board or in mind, or how are you guys going to proceed from here? ** wolf, Wolf! Um, maybe a little less of a London disliker, but not hugely so. There was a thought of me coming over to do a few events for the ‘Closer’ reprint, but there was too much film work, so it wasn’t possible. But it’ll happen. In the meantime, let’s gawk and blab technologically. I saw your email. I’ll write to you today. xoxoxo. ** ellie, Hi. A friend of mine once lit votive candles for me when I was in a tough situation and it either worked or was a big coincidence, but I’ve been fond of them, or the metaphor of them at least, ever since. Happy your dude is feeling better. Freelancing and overworking at the same time is hard, yeah. I’ve been there a lot. Great, time for fun and boosting input. Love, me. ** Charalampos, Hi. Thank you. No, three of the five finalists were documentaries, and the winner was a documentary. Pym, cool. I should read another one by her. Noted. Oh, yes, sorry, I’m bad with checking things on Facebook. I’ll go find the pix today. Thank you again. Chronological on the Cycle is ideal, but, yeah, not prescriptive. Hi from me and my laptop from chilly but not extremely cold Paris. ** Steve Erickson, Hi. It’s a big mixed blessing because there are a lot of government funding options for films here. But, if you’re in a boat like ours, you have to be sneaky and creative and cross all your t’s. Yes, exactly, on the Melville. It’s really that strict. Oh, sure, comparatively France is still a place of adventuring filmmakers. It’s just that when you live here and see the massive majority of absolutely dreadful/cookie cutter French films that get made and released, the exciting ones seem more special and rare. Cool about the accumulating album. You’re in post-production like we are, but without the daunting costs we face. High five. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of that John Cassavetes TV film. Huh. Thank you, I’ll bookmark and get to that. ** Keith Mayerson, Hi! I have a message into Joel, who is, yes, the Westendorf Joel, and I’ll get that going. 30th anniversary, yikes! Dude, I’m way down for a related thing. I’m so proud of that sucker. Big love, me. ** Roo, You = Roo! Thought so. Thought I recognised your cadence. Cool, hope you like the Jude film. And hopefully you’ll feel the need to go rush out and buy yourself a pair of scissors after today. Love, me. ** Charlie, I kind of figured. No big. The thought that counts and all of that. Shit with the sunshine: yes, couldn’t have out it better myself. Enjoy the Tool show. I was supposed to see Playboy Carti this weekend, but he cancelled, the brat. ** Darbyy🐻, Thanks, pal. We’ll be okay. We’re sorting it out. I certainly highly and voraciously agree about the shocking paucity of home haunts in films, but maybe we’ll start a viral thing. Being a loose screw that fixes things is probably the ideal? Don’t stress yourself about the year end deadline. Just stay determined and excited. It’s almost your birthday? When? Mine’s in early January. You absolutely could make me that ornament, and I would even get a tree, real but probably flocked, just for it. Bears? Yes, absolutely. Don’t get sick, and receive anti-sickness-bearing love from me. ** Nick., I’ve always wanted to be immortal. I sort of half believed I would be. But it’s getting a little easy to not believe it. Fucking aging, it’s what it is, but it’s not the ring in Lord of the Rings. You dropped the boys? I trust you that that was the wise decision. Fun? I might go see some art today and wander through the Xmas Fun Fair in the Tuileries. I’m being interviewed via Zoom this evening. I think those might be the only fun parts? You? Major luck with the sleep stuff. Lack of sleep is the worst, or, okay, up there. ** Audrey, Hi, Audrey. Yes, it happened, and it would never have happened if it wasn’t for you, so thank you! I’ve never seen ‘Crimes of the Future’. Isn’t that weird? Just one of those flukes. But I think it’s accessible, so I will. I wonder if you’re happy to see today’s post or not. Don’t get any funny ideas, ha ha. Or do. Are you going to rejoin the message board, or does it feel historical? I have some Zoom stuff to do this  week, an interview today and I’m the ‘special guest’ at an experimental writing class tomorrow, which should be interesting. Mostly this week is just trying to figure out how to chase some money and trying set up a film work schedule. But you never know, do you? I hope the immediate future surprises you. Has it yet? Love, Dennis. ** Right. I decided to restore the blog’s ancient paean to those simple yet dangerous yet creativity-exacting implements: the scissors. Possibly a fun time for you guys? Hope so. See you tomorrow.
