@munlikesbun@goddesslianam@ilyaslestat But farthest right is prob ZZZ1, im guessing bc I ain’t gonna gonna break my laptop n don’t wanna search it up :v
@ilyaslestat If you put dialogue in the fic in another language without providing an in-text translation (not in the notes at the end) then that’s bad writing. If you want the reader to know something you need to provide that information without them hunting for it and breaking immersion
@WeaverAnt19@ilyaslestat Tav is the main character of BG3, and yes, everyone's Tav is different. But they are still Tav.
I don't mind if people want to use names they pick. But give me a reason why Tav chose to change their name.
I don't want to guess if the fics main character is Tav or not.
@WeaverAnt19@ilyaslestat My personal prime example of this? Tav in BG3.
Yes we pick our characters name, amongst everything else. So they are, for all intents & purposes, our OC.
But the default name is Tav for a reason. It lets everyone know who you're talking about when discussing the main character.
✨Customs PAUSE✨ please read!
We will be taking a short break from customs for a few months due to a busy personal schedule. ETA to resume customs late summer
Typhon has a new full time job and it’s mostly Rits pouring solo now. A pause on customs will allow to refocus our inventory and drop themes on some of your inspiration, and leave time for more detailed painting etc!
Please leave your specific model/firmness/pour suggestions in the meantime and we will try to add a few to each drop! 🎨
A made to order Riptide

Alright, like 6 people sent me this today, so please take notes🗒️
"Female ejaculate" (or whatever you want to call it) is a thick whitish fluid that originates from the Skene's glands. These glands sit just under the bladder, beside the urethra, and are homologous to the male prostate. Chemical analysis of this fluid has been shown to have HIGH concentrations of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and LOW concentrations of creatinine and uric acid (which you would normally see in urine).
This fluid is secreted in small amounts, on the order of just a few mL during sexual stimulation. This is a separate substance from the normal vaginal lubrication and Bartholin gland secretions during arousal. This is also a completely separate substance from the whitish buildup that you will see coating the vagina and penis during sex, which is just an amalgamation of congealed versions of the above fluids just getting mushed together.
"Squirting" is the act of expelling female ejaculate through the urethra, as well as larger amounts of diluted urine. This is what gives it its clear appearance and (obviously) where it gets its name from. This happens on the order of tens of mL, so the majority of what is expelled during squirting is dilute urine, and only a small fraction of that is female ejaculate.
A study published in the International Journal of Urology in 2022 specifically investigated this (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ij…). The researchers inserted a catheter into five women in their 30's-50's and drained their bladders to empty. They then injected a small amount saline dyed blue back into the bladders, and provided sexual stimulation in order to achieve squirting. In all of the subjects, the fluid that was discharged was blue. Chemical analysis supports this too, with most of this fluid being composed of creatinine, urea, and other compounds you would expect to see from urine.
tl;dr
- Female ejaculate is a substance (3mL) made from the Skene's gland, akin to a female prostate.
- Squirting = expelling this substance, mixed with a larger amount of dilute urine (10mL) through the urethra.
- This is in contrast to how men ejaculate, where sperm, seminal fluid, and the resulting semen are all made in-house (the testicles, prostate, etc.) and are expelled through the urethra without any input from the bladder (preventing urine from entering the urethra during ejaculation is a function of the prostate).
@WeaverAnt19@TheWhiteKn96056@nocontextmemes that's literally incorrect, most large predator sea animals live near the surface since that's where all the food is
