My #gay erotic story about Hermes and Dionysos is finally published wide! Get the tender (non-romantic) love story between the two gods at your favourite online retailer:
@smutstodon 3: Baths, Shower & Water Sex + Asterion
#Dionysos came closer, a small creature compared to the Bull of Minos. Asterion looked down, the horned head crowned with an ivy wreath just about reaching to his chest. There was mischief in those dark, divine eyes and #Asterion wondered if he should be scared when two soft hands picked up his flaccid cock.
"Is there any medicine for love?"
"There are herbs that can help with the physical performance of love but none that cure the mind of it."
"Can you teach us about the physical performance?" asked Meleagros, the prince from Kalydon.
Chiron sighed. Oh yes, they were of that age. Sex, sex, sex, that's all they ever think about...
"I can. If that is what you wish."
Iason struck her with his flat hand. It had a nice sting to it.
"You call that punishment, Greek boy?"
"Maybe you'd prefer choking on cock instead?"
"I'd like to see you try. That tiny chickpea couldn't choke a chicken."
He grabbed her, yanking hard. She yelped, her golden jewellery clinking. Her eyes were spitting the fire of the heavens, her grandfather Helios' light.
Feedback is extremely welcome. This is a loving document, it can only be honed and get better with loving input from other users. What are your best tips for #creators?
@CoinOfNote Sadly, I don't. I haven't been very successful with bringing people over, unfortunately. Not even with people who should know better than to trust a corporate platform because they are NSFW creators. Most have flocked to BlueSky which... I honestly don't get it. There are no features, I can't even make lists of people I am interested in, so I keep missing my friends' posts.
I think the best we can do is help make a great first impression for those who DO give Mastodon a try 😐
@CoinOfNote I feel like the search is pretty good already. And there were some cool features on the roadmap. What I personally miss the most right now are quote toots and a way to see hashtags across all instances.
@taoish@CoinOfNote I cannot manually QT if I want to show off an artist's work without reposting their art.
Also I never said I don't get results from other instances?
But my topic is rather niche and it would be nice to see ALL results for a hashtag. Especially for events happening in real time like Eurovision etc. For small instances, such a service would be super helpful.
My personal use case aside: it is not helpful if someone says "I wish feature Y would exist here" to reply...
@taoish@CoinOfNote ...with an unhelpful comment that essentially boils down to "well, I don't have any issues".
Sorry, but this is exactly the kind of behaviour why people leave Mastodon.
Listen to new people instead of insisting that everything is perfect as it is.
@taoish@CoinOfNote I'm sorry, I thoroughly misread your message ❤️
On mastodon.social, I rarely get zero results but when I was on smaller instances it was a much bigger issue. I'm co-hosting the MythologyMonday hashtag on thefolklore.cafe and when we first started out, there were quite a few posts that didn't show up (but did show up when I searched from my personal account on mastodon.social).
Mastodon instances only get search results of instances they know, so a 3rd party crawler would be 👍
@taoish@CoinOfNote You can search other instances, I think, so you could look up the hashtag on a bigger instance. Or a niche instance if it fits the search well. But the way federation works the only thing an individual user can do is following lots of people from lots of different servers.
A humourous oil painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus that was created when the artist was only 15 or 16 years old.
Mars ist struck by an arrow in his chest but it is a love arrow 😘
🏛️ Mars, Venus and #Vulcan, by John Singleton Copley. Oil on canvas, dated 1754 CE. Today in the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, USA.
In an act of religious extremism a tourist from the US smashed 2 Graeco-Roman statues in the Israel Museum: a head of the goddess #Athena (2nd century CE) and a statue of a #griffin clutching the wheel of fate, symbolising the goddess #Nemesis (210-211 CE). The giffin statue, as evident from published photographs, was broken into pieces. The tourist had targeted the statues because he deemed them “idolatrous” and in opposition to the Torah (Old Testament).
