[PATREON EXCLUSIVE] [M4F] Testing Out The Bookish New Concubine in Your Harem [Msub to Mdom] [Fantasy] [Queen F] [Poetry] [Massage] [Oil] [Seduction] [Groping] [Fingering] [Edging] [Nervous] [Making Out] [Titplay] [Pussy Eating] [Prone] [Spanking] [Degradation] [Praise] [Exhibitionism] [Hair Pulling] [Status Play] [Finger Sucking] [Breeding] [Mating Press][Legwrap] [Creampie] [Outdoor Sex] [Free Use]

You're a powerful and kind queen with your own harem of eager concubines who entertain, help, and pleasure you in any way you desire. You recently selected a new concubine, a modest scholar and scribe who enchanted you by presenting translations of poetry into your tongue. He thinks you chose him for his linguistic skills, but alone together in your palace gardens, you discover he has hidden talents...

Hi!
Finishing up January with a genre audio that I TRICKED THE MOANS INTO VOTING FOR hahaha. Not sure if it'll work more than once. This one was fun, a luxurious, pampering outdoor oily Msub to Mdom with our first queen. It's pretty talk talk talk-y with genre dialogue, but hopefully still hot.

The first snippet of poetry at 0:00 is mine, the rest are by the 14th century Persian poet Hafez, the English translation by Gertrude Lowthian Bell.

Take care,
august 🌨️

😭🫶🏼 we are oh so lucky to have you as a member!! 💞

ky ❣️💌✨

KYYYYY, thank you so much! 🫶🏼🥹 I would not be going full out academia/essay braindump to the extent that I do in these comment sections if it were *NOT* for the permission to let my geek flag fly that your Horny Book Club moniker offers! 📚

rachel 🍓

RACHEL? 😭 this is. oh my goodness. so beautiful! i love these parallels. i would be like "damn this guy is so horny he could bend metal!" and you're friggin citing sacred texts that mirror it perfectly 😩 i really appreciate your sharing of your gorgeous perspective + understanding of this work, in general 🥺🫶🏼 (you too, gabriella, you are not exempt!!)

ky ❣️💌✨

lmao @ “turnover of empire…” teehee! I had that thought too! haunted (positive) by the delivery of “turn over then” forever 😵‍💫✌🏼 ooh, yes, totally “violation” in a broad sense! transgression as necessary to resolution is how it lands for me? certainly appropriate considering Tsvetaeva’s historical context + relevant to the [status play] theme here. the poem is loaded with personal longing as inseparably tangled with political realities. I find Tsvetaeva to be a deeply tragic figure. Not to always gab about my academic career lol but I did some research about her experiences in exile, particularly comparing her trajectory to Nabokov’s + why he thrived and she returned to Russia doomed, basically. Bicon is CORRECT 🫡 the love poetry she wrote to/for women is some of her most ardent work, I think! Sophia Parnok was a notable lover of hers, a lesbian Russian poet if you’re looking to dig into early Soviet sapphic stuff! this concept of a Lover as active in the “service of love” is sooooo Certified Yearner™️ coded, I’m fucking obsessed; thank you so much for sharing! She’d def be into this; Tsvetaeva is for the yearners 1000%. I love our literary swap! 💌 “the Beloved being verses themselves” so gorgeous 💗 and reminded me how when I started writing my initial Big Comment on this audio, I was gonna frame it around the Queen as “the text”, but it got too esoteric to be interesting or useful to anyone but me! it seems my instinct wasn’t completely misguided, though? haha tbh I felt a bit worried this poem translation comment would read as insufferably pretentious + boring, so it’s very sweet to hear it added to your fondness for this audio. it did for me too, which is why I had to share! I just love thinking + writing about words + art idk!!!! I can always count on you to get it, Gabriella. thanks for a lovely, impromptu poetry convo! 💕

rachel 🍓

Okay! I think I know what the brain worms were trying to piece together about this very lovely poem: 🌺 I initially teehee’d over “the turnover of empire and a nobleman has entry” for…obvious reasons. 🌺 “Charged spaces between thought + action” yes, I read this as tenuous, somewhat fearful meditation, and laced with a threat of violence/violation? And I mean "violation" in a very broad sense, the way a concubine’s nails might violate the fleshy pad of their thumb while they wait anxiously. Something about the violation is necessary for resolution (which I suppose would make sense here through the lens of the Russian Revolution). Also that last line is bruuuuutal since she was exiled in ‘22 (yes, I was too curious, and I had to read about her. Bicon alert 🤩!) 🌺 What my brain worms were *actually* remembering was pastoral Latin elegy. The imagery here, a Lover, seemingly inert but clearly occupied with many works, as they wait patiently for their Beloved … That reminded me of how my fave of the elegy boyz thought of love, that the Lover was actually a solider of Love and in a fight much more meaningful and urgent than your typical soldier-turned-senator: https://imgur.com/a/IZv2gy9. Based on what little I've read about her (mostly from The Essential Poetry from 2015), I feel like she'd be into this vibe! 🌺 “Patiently, as one awaits rhymes” also reminded me of the elegists' use of the form to talk about poetry itself and the work of making it, so the Beloved being verses themselves. Didn't believe it was possible to love this audio more, but this poem coupled with my recent relisten is making it happen. We're just adding rooms to my heart, I guess...

Gabriella 🥭

there’s no place better for the translation girlies to serendipitously commune than the Bookish Concubine comments!! 🤝💌 also “handwriting reveal”—hahaha you’re right omg a show-and-tell for my English print + Cyrillic script! both are on the messier side here bc my translation journals are v in-process/draft by nature, but I suppose that’s more ✨authentic✨! I’ll be waiting patiently in the lecture hall for further poetry chat! 🤓

rachel 🍓

I promise I'm not just following you around the halls of the Patreon, I was really and truly just allowing myself the indulgence of a visit to my beloved, singularly gifted Concubine. What an insanely wonderful thing to see this comment! Concubine, take 5!!! I have to reread a chapter from Latin Erotic Elegy before I say anything about the poetry because something's coming together I think, but FIRST omgomgomg handwriting reveal, and I love it!!!! This is what my brain *thinks* my print looks like. It's lovely, particularly obsessed with your "u"s! I will return!

Gabriella 🥭

While flipping through one of my translation journals, I came across a Marina Tsvetaeva poem that I translated a few years ago, and it immediately brought Bookish Concubine x Queen to mind. For any linguistics geeks + polyglots, here’s a snapshot of my journal (including the original Russian piece): https://imgur.com/a/UnnO3Nz So you don’t need to decipher my slapdash handwriting, I’ve also transcribed my translation below: ~ patiently, as one pounds gravel, patiently, as one awaits death, patiently, as news ripens, patiently, as one nurtures revenge - I will wait for you (fingers in fists—as a concubine awaits a Queen) patiently, as one awaits rhymes, patiently, as one gnaws one’s hands. I will wait for you (eyes—to earth, teeth to lips. lockjaw. boulder). patiently, as one perpetuates bliss, patiently, as one strings beads. the creak of runners, the reciprocal scrape of a door: the roar of taiga winds. the supreme decree arrived: - the turnover of empire and a nobleman has entry. and homeward: to the heavens yet mine. M. Tsvetaeva (27 March 1923) 📜Original poem in Russian by Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) 📜English translation by me, rachel 🍓 ~ Obvious tie of the concubine x Queen simile aside, I think there are resonances with themes of the audio in the exploration of the charged spaces between thought + action, seismic shifts resulting from desire lived out loud, and the interplay of deference + divinity. I hear, “How can it be that you’re so beautiful to me? No, no, not adoration, Your Highness; it’s anger, it’s obsession,” echoed in these lines. The last stanza also gives, “I can’t believe there can be more afternoons like this. In all my days, in heaven or earth, I never would’ve dreamt it.”  I’ve now thought about this script alongside the words of Tsvetaeva AND Shakespeare, August… consider yourself counted among my favorite writers! 💗

22:07 AS YOU WISH HE SAYS I kept going back trying to understand and wow. Really great stuff 10/10 I was in love with Wesley from Princess Bride

Craw Daddy

stressful day is apparently healed with poetry and pretending to be a queen for 40 minutes

nugs

I’m back 🧍🏿‍♀️

Adaora

@Sarah- *kicks the door down* ON TOP OF WHICH! They're fricken MARRIED and COMPLETELY UNKNOWN to one another! I am still absolutely losing it over the idea of the abandon this connection allows- there's no one else for him, and he's the first to let her simply be a Woman. They get to dive right into this chemistry, this unfettered intimacy, without reservation because they'll each be a constant for the other by virtue of their arrangement. Whatever they discover, they discover together. Pardon me while I drown myself in this.

makenzi

hey also the part where he's like, "oh, of course i have....... y'know. i think ive made my partners feel like royalty; just not in a way that is befitting of a queen." is insane. he said "i do not think im allowed to do you like that. but lmk" 😭😭😭

luc-ky charm 💌🍀✨

late to the party but 😭😭😭 GOD. you have cornered the market on unassuming but hot nerds (affectionate) who will lay you out flat before you know what the hell's going on. the voice and tone are so so good in this one. obviously they always are, but this one specifically is extra 😩 i pressed play and had to immediately pause and hold my head in my hands. so gentle, so tender! where art thou, why not uponeth me!!!!!! 🥺 paying the toll: you're such a good writer. your dialogue is always impeccable but it really shines in genre pieces. i know it's subjective but personally, i think you always strike a perfect balance between period-appropriate and contemporary language without ever forgetting to include the hottest dirty talk i've ever heard throughout time and space 💫

luc-ky charm 💌🍀✨

Love, love, love the poetry! The sound design in this audio was delectable, truly immersing. I've been on a historical fiction frenzy as of late and I've realized that there's a lack of strong female protagonists in most novels (due to time period constraints,rules, and the scandalous nature of it all, etc...) but this audio was such a nice referesh! The writing and acting are mesmerizing, as always. I don't mean to bully you, but when is the book going to drop...just take my money already! 🥹💰💰

Jen i have no words (NGL i wanna be one of her concubines at this point also) just take your flowers ok 💐💐💐 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

@roxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re incredible, I love you, thank you for your kind words I’m so happy you like it (‘: ❤️❤️❤️

DeJENerate

@alisha my darling 🥹 thank you so much, I couldn’t have done it without your constant support

DeJENerate

Is it possible to fire concubines? Bc after this I’d just fire the rest of them lmao

August’s genre audios underrated as hell, if we’re being honest !!

Okay, I'm sorry, I have to make a Voice Comment. It’s SO SO SO GOOD HERE OH MY GOD. Sometimes, it’s like a nightingale's song, sometimes it’s heavy and dark like ink. Most specifically, I am SO enjoying the feeling of being massaged by your soothing voice while also being excited by the poetry. Then that being reversed and feeling like I am on fire while my mind is perfectly quiet and relaxed. Truly so so enchanted by this Speaker omggg, I can never listen to this again ⛲️

Gabriella 🥭

What beautiful work YOU created to accompany this amazing audio Jen!!! I looooove how vivid the colours are and the details you’ve put into rendering their skin and the pillows! Can definitely see you’ve worked hard on this and it shows!! Stunning as always 💕✨

roxy 🥀

both pieces are utterly gorgeous, jen!! i'm in love with the vivid colours and all the details in our queen's hair texture and jewelry!! 💖 you've really outdone yourself with these two pieces!!~

alisha 🌱

Hi, this audio slapped so hard I had to create two different pieces this time 🤠 I’m going insane. Brilliant work, beautiful, amazing, so well edited and the fndmmdmdmdmmd I can’t even put into woRDS how this audio makes me feel so just have these ig ok bye Our queen: https://imgur.com/a/LtH5AhF My usual NSFW debauchery: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EDqeuD8A1h1njGmROgPNmAzlVItlTw3R/view?usp=drivesdk Edit: it was too hot to handle so I’ve provided the google drive link to the NSFW art

DeJENerate

7:53am … the poetry had started to put me to sleep and then ⏰ 🚨 ‼️ 🤯

Jess

This happened to me as well during the zoom call . It was wonderful

Jess

Alright, let me gather myself because the writing in this audio went so hard. Took me a full week just to sit with this and process but here we are. 🪑 First off, I just have to say, your writing on these audios is seriously getting better and better. I’m absolutely here for all of it. ❗️ I don’t even know what it was but I was immediately enamored with this speaker straight out the gate. And then there’s the way he’s so reluctant, thinking he can’t be enough for her because of their class difference? There’s something so vulnerable about it, and it adds a whole new layer to the story. I honestly don’t know how you do it, but you weave character dynamics into your audios so naturally. The interactions between characters always feel fresh, and I love how the writing transitions seamlessly from dialogue to the more intimate moments. It’s clear you put thought into how the story and its circumstances build up from start to finish. That constant hesitation from him, thinking he’s not worthy or doesn’t know how to treat her like a queen? It just hits right in the feels. 😩 And then the way she reassures him that it’s not what she needs from him? WHEW. That moment of calm, understanding? And when she gives him the go-ahead, and he just completely loses it? That feral energy was everything. 😮‍💨 Also, can we talk about the soundscapes? Not me hyperfixating on bird sounds in a sexy audio but it really helped me imagine the setting, which made the audio even more immersive. And those wind chimes at the end? UGH 🤌🤌 You’ve seriously outdone yourself AGAIN and 2025 is just beginning! At the rate we’re going, February is absolutely going to ✨annihilate✨ us isn’t it 🥲

roxy 🥀

I’m glad you didn’t share that restraint!!! this month I was on voice commentary duty and you were on critical theory audio reading duty—it all shakes out, we have our bases covered! omg my gut feeling was right! they (read: people who know more about astrology than me) say there are nuances within sun sign placements based on birth month? 🤷🏻‍♀️ our common [verbose slut] energy is enough to have me believe we’re prob more similar in our Gemini Sun traits than different though! 🗣️♊️ don’t even play with a birthday DT! 😤 it’s the 23rd, so it *is* a Friday! that would be v late in the month for a DT but!!! I’m imagining you and I collaborating on the creation of a DT quiz and it’s making me chuckle! That’d be one way to cash in our DT Collection frequent flyer miles 🛩️😭

rachel 🍓

@sarah & @rachel: HE’S SO?!?!?@@@ aND omg such a lovely point, these Speakers provide the space and time for powerful Ls to just be sensate beings and RELISH the opportunity to be present for it! What the FUCK! And 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 you’re being too sweet, too many sweet words, Sarah!!! If I write more, it will definitely be because of August and will definitely be put here because I cannot be quiet. And omg the sovereign of Cutiepie Nation called me cute 🙈! And it was beyond a pleasure to make the pdf for you, Rachel!!! I'm 1000% stealing "run off into the world of ideas" line, oh yes. And it’s not weird!!! To both of you, I am overjoyed to read your comments, both big and small, and feel so so grateful that each week, I get to scream about the things you say! To consistently engage with your thoughts that make me laugh really hard and/or think deeply and/or touch my heart? What a privilege and delight!!!!!!!!! But also to be so seen, like of courseeeeeeee you’re both language freaks, DUH. Obviously. I don't want to take the weird magic kismet whatever situation that is happening here on this Patreon for granted. I think you’re both WONDERFUL with the most sincerity in my heart knowing that I am technically an Internet Stranger™️ 💞. EXTREMELY proud of myself for making it through that paragraph without crying, very off brand for me, please clap!

Gabriella 🥭

there’s something about a royal being humanized that just GETS ME!!! idk why it reminds me of queen charlotte. seeing her story and all of her flaws when all that we saw before was a cold, unmoving woman with a soft spot for love at some points. also now that this S and L are going to have a covert relationship pretty much to everyone who lives outside her palace, the power dynamic is going to be so malleable. bc honestly how is he supposed to see her as this all-powerful, unattainable being when she so willfully opened herself up to him?? LIKE UGH i can’t with this. royal/period drama -esque media just scratches a part of my brain that feels so lovely. ITS MY BREAD AND BUTTER I CANT GET ENOUGH

raivvin

GABRIELLA ❣️🧍🏻‍♀️I’m actually tearing up, it is so fucking kind + cool of you to make this treasure map of a PDF for me! 🥹 you are SO insanely smart and thoughtful and I mean it when I say it brings me unending joy to yap with you (I hope that’s not super weird to say as someone who’s technically an Internet Stranger™️ who screams @ you in Patreon comments!!!). As my beloved undergrad advisor would say when I’d get super curious re: a particular topic, I’m about to “run off into the world of ideas” you’ve gifted me here. 🌌🏃🏻‍♀️💨 “should I go back to grad school and derail my entire life????????” me 3 times a year at least, you’re so real for that!!!! AND the on the house Hermitage bonus treat?! SPOILED 😭 I can’t say thank you, thank you, thank you enough! 💌 and YES @sarah, fellow linguistics freak reporting for duty! 🫡 🫶🏼 agree it makes *so much* sense for our trio! the Big Beautiful Brain Trust multiverse expands!!! 🧠✨

rachel 🍓

@sarah: i always have to pay homage to my beloved star commander!! 🫡🚀💖 and i love hearing that the vibes are being received the way i had intended; thank you so much, sweet lovely sarah~

alisha 🌱

“They each allow the other the ability to be versions of themselves that they keep locked away from the world” YES makenzi exactly; the intimacy + vulnerability combo punch of these characters is heart melting. I looooove the way august handles power dynamics/status play for this exact reason—it never feels like M is “bagging” a higher status F for ego or whatever. It’s always bc F *wants* to be brought “lower” by M for her own pleasure. and then the levels melt away and it’s just. Two people connecting. Im gonna pull my hair out (again) 😵‍💫 Also retweet re: space commander/staff officer breaking you, bigggg huge whopping DITTO, that pair is everything and a half 🌌

sarah 💫

This is utterly otherworldly HOOO MY GOD>??>? the snow cloud wall panel?? The star commander shoutout and train, just. This is so stunning. love the details in the incense smoke too, and the dragon is SICK. The color scheme is sooo rich and inviting and warm, you are insanelyyyy talented Alisha!!!✨💗

sarah 💫

Gabriella!!!!! Omg as a fellow linguistics freak (I THINK RACHEL COMMENTED THAT SHE’S ONE TOO THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE) I absolutely adore your thoughts on translation and the difficulty (and futility) with finding the “perfect” words. I am sitting right next to you on the “I can’t listen to this again” train bc it’s so…ITS SO!!!!! HE’S SO???? 🥲 Yeah. I love your point about the nerdy studiousness of this M translating (heh) to how badly he wants to learn about + serve his queen. F’s body is a test he wants to ace, he neeeeeeds to be her star student 🤓  gonna echo @Rachel and say that citing Sufi cosmology is sOOO BIG BRAINED OF YOU, how in the world do you walk around carrying such a gorgeous, gigantic brain in your noggin?? 🧠 I lost it esp at the level of souls point. I’m such a sucker for characters being stripped (pause) of their societal roles and existing as pure, raw, simple creatures who just..want each other 🥺 the dynamics in these audios (esp the status play ones) are always so rich and full bc of the way august plays around w deducing F to their (French accent) base naETURR. the freedom to just BE a creature of desire/pleasure for a powerful, commanding F is just so... [hanging my head in my hands]. ALSO UR PROSE…??? Are you kidding?!>!?! 😦 what the fuck. If you ever EVER feel comfortable sharing more of your stuff with an internet stranger (hi, me, hello 👋🏼) I would be so down. The downest. i esp love the imagery in the second paragraph; the “jewels and coins” line painted such a vivid picture. You’re so talented what the goddamn hell <3333 P.S. CUTIEEEE PFP AHH you have such a beautiful smile 🥹😍

sarah 💫

Lmaooo I did not share your critical theory restraint 😅 and frankly, after listening again yesterday, I may lack the restraint to not make a voice comment......... It is egregiously good, absolutely magical as you said, it deserves more commentary! Ding ding ding! Yes, June! Is there supposed to be a difference between May and June Geminis???? I also do not know very much about astrology, but find it very fun. Omg could you imagine, a DT for your birthday????? I knowwwww omg, it needs a new name??? This isn't switching, it's like....a sexual vibration? The Tuning Fork Collection, so sexy 💋 My name is Gabriella, and I am a DT Super Fan 😭. I would demolish a DT quiz, I'm speaking *that* into existence. And what a tease, I cannot *wait*, DT #9 is a TREASURE.

Gabriella 🥭

E voila and in my style, waaaay too much: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jYrNbzi4OmfgHuroR0bevNAs1tP4SNti/view?usp=sharing. And thank youuuuu 🥰, Bookish Concubine Divine Loverboy put me in the Valentine's Day spirit!!! Also @zi, if you’re interested in reading more, feel free to click the link! And thank you so much for your kind words, I cannot believe you read all that haha!

Gabriella 🥭

The tone of “turn over then” scratched my brain nicely.

Sierrana89

@lauren: i adore you so much!! and i don't plan on stopping anytime soon, and i hope the same goes for you and all of your incredible art too!! 🤭💖 thank you so much for you love and for finding so many hidden easter eggs!!~

alisha 🌱

I think my jaw dropped when I saw this. I don’t even know how to use my words to tell you how talented you are, Alisha. This is crazy beautiful, the room, holy crap the colors omg. I keep wondering how better is it going to get and then I see this✨🙂‍↕️ Please never stop if you can, your creativity is out of this world. I absolutely love the dragon and the sword, but then I saw the train and screamed.

🌹💘Lauren 💘🌹

Freya this is so pretty! I’m so glad you got to finish this piece. I’m just blown away by your skills, the color is beautiful and the shading on that crazy, you killed it✨ Hope you are feeling better btw

🌹💘Lauren 💘🌹

“Tricked” 🤔 If you say so

Stitch.And.Sin.Designs

@DivineFeminine 😭 I’m so glad that you, with me on the front lines fighting for [hand kink], agree that this *is* a hand audio in everything but name! hahaha I will happily take my covert hand stuff treat! 🤝 @Jess + @Alita 💖 thank you both so much for reading my comments + being so sweet/supportive in replies! 💌 @Gabriella “Cool stuff” 😭 sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I could just write a lovely 3-5 sentence comment instead of another 1200 words about the audio porn. Brevity is not a blessing of mine I fear; thank god for you + the other essayists testing the word limits of Patreon comments with me weekly!!! 📝 🌺 omfg, don’t you worry, I remember your ruinous (affectionate) courtesan/hand ideas in the poll comments!!! you endorsed my scribe M (you get me so bad, always 💕) alongside those gorgeous visions, and LOOK where that got us, Gabriella!!! we need to take some responsibility for our undoing!!!!! no but for real, August officially joined the “you get it so bad” club with his synthesis of those suggestions in this one; we gave him popsicle sticks + elmer’s school glue, and he built us the fucking Taj Mahal! also I literally *almost* structured my comment around the concept of the Queen as “the text,” but it was getting too critical theory-y for my own good ahajkslsk GET OUT OF MY BRAIN, GABRIELLA! 🧍🏻‍♀️🫶🏼 🌺 “Mandatory Voice Comment Stick™️” lmaoooo I’m honored to take up the mantle! You’ve motivated me to be more forthright about how much I love his voice. I think I assume it’s obvious given the context, but when it’s extra magical, I need to speak my truth! 🌺 still obsessed that we’re both Gem Suns 💕👯‍♀️ and even with my limited astrology knowledge, you being a Cancer Venus makes soooo much sense (I am a Cancer Rising 🦀). Are you a May or June Gemini? My gut says June for some reason? I’m May + I’m pretty sure my birthday actually falls on a Friday this year… birthday audio drop maybe? LFG 🥳 🌺 you made the edging even better with this subby/dommy harmonic resonance reading omfgggg so aligned with the greyscale switchy stuff I screamed about last month too… the switch content is getting So Good, So Sophisticated, I hope 2025 is a big year for that collection! 🎛️🤞🏼 🌺 off book on DTs is one of those it’s funny bc it’s true things!!! Devastatingly on-brand that I told on myself in the stream chat like that 🤸🏻‍♀️😭 she’s too honest, be quiet, rachel!!! hahaha BUT two things can be true at the same time: 1. I *do* have a bit of a crazy mind for recall 2. I *am* a DT super fan! (as you well know 😏). someday soon you’re going to find me in the DT #9 comments making a case for my goonery!👩🏻‍⚖️💌

rachel 🍓

I will wait patiently for my homework, thank you! 🫶🏼🤓 🥤<- Big Beautiful Brain Trust forever! 🧠✨🫡 P.S. this new heart/Valentiney pfp has me like 😍 SO CUTE! 💖

rachel 🍓

Gabriella, I am in shambles over this dynamic. Actually I'm in shambles over several of the recent dynamics (Commander & Staff Officer actually broke me, I am broken), but this one is so evocative and luscious. His need to articulate every thought, his way of acknowledging the poetry of the moment he's in, is precious and infuriating because it keeps him from living it. He can barely let himself enjoy her bc he's so busy nerding out in disbelief. What a dork, right? Until... oof. That paradigm shift for him was tectonic. And to give her the gift of womanhood? Of being just a woman, without being reduced? I cannot. I want to chew this succulent little morsel down to the marrow. Ugh.

makenzi

and as always, the writing and execution of your audios are <3 chef’s kiss <3

@dana: omg i'm so touched that you noticed i disappeared while i was working on this 😭💖 the augustverse is such a wonderful source of inspiration, and i'll forever be grateful for all the love and support that this community shares!! @roxy: i'll always always always love your art and animations!! if i ever feel brave enough to tackle animations again, i'll be sure to send you a dm!! 🫡🥹💖

alisha 🌱

I’m back

Adaora

Give me one to two business days on the reading recs 🤓. And you owe me a Coke, I said the brain thing to you before reading this, scout's honor 💗!

Gabriella 🥭

Cool stuff 👍🏿! RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!! I won’t continue using all caps, but know that the intention is that my responses be read in a scream both because I love your brain and because the audio has reshaped my grey matter, and I cannot stop screaming. 📜 “But *OF COURSE* a Speaker who is a master of this craft would be the only choice for the reinterpretation of a royal x concubine dynamic. It's always chess, not checkers, with you! ♟️📚😌” Like…. I am so devastated by the interpretation of wails from the January poll. I also hoped for a hand kink angle and for a Speaker who had courtesan chops, and he turned my crayon drawing into a watercolor by making him a fucking masseur as well. Also YES, he’s sooooo yummy, so perfect because he isn’t approaching this project algorithmically. The other concubines come in with the “right” gifts, compliments, bodies, feats of strength and/or skill, etc etc, and that’s precisely what precludes them from cummunion with the queen. When he puts aside his prescriptive view of how he’s supposed to engage with “the text” (her), it all opens up. That’s just good translation practice! 📜 “Your voice is so melodic and expressive when you read in verse; it’s mesmerizing. I want to submerge in your delivery of the “Before the milk upon thy lips was dry…” stanza—a completely normal thing to say!!!” Passing the Mandatory Voice Comment Stick™️ to you for this month. It sounds SO good my lord (this doesn’t count!). 📜 Whole literary history paragraph, just bars, here’s your Grammy 🏆. “He’s so good that I could have never dreamed him up, and now I need him so badly??? It’s sick!” It is DISGOSTING! My Gemini Sun + Cancer Venus is doing a backflip while yapping and crying!!! I’m trying not to bore a hole into his lips with my eyes while he excitedly talks to me about Hafez 👁️👁️ 🥰 📜 On the edging, the counting up was demented. It felt simultaneously like the playful braggadocio of a “how many could I fuck out of you?” orgasm counter and a deeply personal, reverential moment for S when he’s finally with her, not below her. So the counting also felt like him holding his breath, unsure how long he could stay in that rarefied air. Which feels subby and dommy in a dizzying harmonic resonance way. What?! Also, I can often see the audios, but something the hair pulling snapped this into 4K UHD 📜 “the humanity of complementary carnal desire!!!” YES! So galaxy-brained in a Speaker who overestimates the power of his mind and underestimates what his body can successfully translate to the world IN SPITE OF BEING A SCRIBE AND MASSEUR. Sorry, I did end up screaming. He’s so interesting!!! Obviously, their intellectual connection is profound, but, ultimately, his body is the vessel through which he can bridge the gap between them. Rather than *only* being devices to translate information from his brain, his hands and mouth are made animal again by becoming extensions of his desire. You’re exactly right, this *is* literature 📖!!! I’ve been going back to Pleasure Activism (for obvious reasons), and your last paragraph… I want to print it out and keep it close by while I revisit. You also make me sick 💗! Side note: I keep teeheeing to myself thinking of you saying you’re, “off book on the DTs”. Never felt SO seen, exposed even. An insanely funny thing to say.

@alisha You deserve every praise and complement you get! And I can really see how much work you put into this!! 😍 I’m always willing to impart what little knowledge of animation I have! Do feel free to reach out! I might not always have the answers but I’ll certainly try 🌸🌻

roxy 🥀

Can’t believe I had to scroll down to find thisssss! This one takes it all! I know how much work you’ve put in this one 😭you literally disappeared for DAYS; I loved all the Easter eggs 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 I love the Augustverse and the talent that comes with it! The mint oil 😂😭❤️, the Hafez book, the carvings on the walls, they’re all just too good! BRAVO!

Dana 💥

Rachel your essay is everything i was thinking before, during and after listening to this one. And every re-listen. *Slow golf clap* you are a queen 👑💕💋

AlitaNYM

@jen: WAHHHH THANK YOU, JEN!!! 💖 @roxy: rahhh omg my sweet roxy!! 🥺💖 thank you SO much for loving this piece; i feel like i struggled so much with the colour palette but to hear your kind words makes it all worth the uphill battle it was!! 🤭 and i'll take any and every excuse to draw smoke~ i'll have to definitely ask you for some animation tips on making the smoke stand out even more with some movement!! 🥰💖

alisha 🌱

Alisha, I will never not be in awe of your incredible creativity and skill ✨😩 The perspective, the colours, the LIGHTING!! Absolutely enamored with every little detail in this. You straight up ATEEEE. 😍🍴 this is probably my favourite out of all your pieces, and I’m just obsessed with how your choice of colour complements the whole scene! I adore the murals on the walls!! Ahhhh and the dragon with the incense??? Soooo cute. Can’t wait to stare at this even more so I can find all the lil Easter eggs!! 💕💕

😧🫵🏼 holy crap, Gabriella… I joked in my comment about wishing I could read articles about this pair on JSTOR, but this comment is essentially making that a reality—your reading of the audio through this Sufi cosmology framework??? NUTSO. I need a bibliography to continue my engagement with these yummy ideas! Crashing out specifically over 5 (Level of Imaginal Forms). Edging has never been more metaphysical. I LOVE YOUR BIG BEAUTIFUL BRAIN! 🧠💗 And your prose… I swear you said to me in a comment once that you are Not A Writer? Prepared to fight you on that one if necessary. 😤 Same book, same page in terms of deep appreciation for the super sexy, ascetic stripping the Queen of her adornments + awe at the DT #18 breathe/breed teehee moment metamorphosing into something as celestial as this! 🕯️

@Lola - Thank you! <3 I had fun with them.

@rachel: ooh revising notes now from cornices to corbels!! ✍️ you're inspiring me to research a little more on these architectural terminologies!! 🤭💖

alisha 🌱

@alisha realizing I actually meant corbels instead cornices (don’t come for me architecture girlies!!!) haha so I have lots to learn about architecture terminology too! anything you create is a joy! 🫶🏼

rachel 🍓

@rachel: wahh i'm over the moon to hear that my work makes you stop and stare!! 🥹💖 and thank you for teaching me what a cornice is; they were so fun to design and i'd love to make more if i ever revisit architecture illustrations again~ @mimi: THANK YOU!! i wanted this colour palette to be the exact opposite of my last piece, so it ended up much more warm and bright!! 💖 @freya: capturing these still moments in time and setting a specific tone have been such a fun challenge!! with how vivid and ambient this audio is, i knew i wanted that captured here too~ i'm SO lucky to know you too, you angel 💖 @lola: thank you so much!! i've been diligently doing all my perspective studies for the first time just for these pieces haha!! 🫣💖

oh my goodness. This is literally awesome. It's so detailed yet tranquil. I can imagine walking here as the sun sets, the smell of incense in the air. Absolutely stunning, girl. Holy crap. You are just so damn talented. I feel so lucky to know you <3

@lightpinkplaything: THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥹💖

alisha 🌱

I was attempting to enjoy this one with my coffee this morning but I had a Game Grumps song stuck in my head so while the concubine is being all suave and literate, Arin Hanson was singing in my brain "Man, I've got a stinky dick. My dick stinks all the time. Stinky dick. Push it to the limit." Sigh. On a serious note, the way he talks about having more afternoons like that, the hope in his voice? Practically broke me. I can't remember the last time I felt that hopeful about the future. Ah, fantasy.

I'm so mad it's a Newport lol

Imagine an audio where you're a spoiled princess ordering around a servant, and he's finally had enough 👀

Emily 🧸

Thank you Gabriella! 💕☺️ Ughhhh especially in the beginning when he was naming the offerings and he was surprised that he was chosen 🥺 He does in fact have so much to offer! I love that there is a role reversal in a way. She admires him, not just in what he does but *how* he does it. He sees beyond the title and status, because he sees who she is and not what she rules.

DivineFeminine

Bringing back the August as Man With a Plan framework from my comment on the January early access audio because this audio is a tribute to the riches we enjoy when, technically, it's our choice, but you get your way. Scheming in the poll notwithstanding, your decision to make Speaker’s brand of bookish expertise literary translation is so *vexingly* perfect I want to scream at the sea!!! Fuck the historian part of my suggestion for this M fr (though v happy you kept the nerd + scribe elements). My personal interest in literary translation aside (I dabble in Russian poetry translation for fun 🤸🏻‍♀️), the axis of the storytelling in your audios is often some sort of transformation in the relationship between Speaker and Listener forged in the sex they have. @Gabriella references it all the time (for good reason!), but the, “That was really good, right? I mean, both of us together, what we created here today?” line from Concert F2L sums up this quality of your work. Rudimentarily, translation is also an act of transformation and, relevant given this flip scenario, it’s a negotiation between the preeminence of the source text and a translator’s confidence in their specific insights as they render it in a new language! But *OF COURSE* a Speaker who is a master of this craft would be the only choice for the reinterpretation of a royal x concubine dynamic. It's always chess, not checkers, with you! ♟️📚😌 📜 Practically treated with a bonus SFW reading audio in the poetry feature! Your voice is so melodic and expressive when you read in verse; it’s mesmerizing. I want to submerge in your delivery of the “Before the milk upon thy lips was dry…” stanza—a completely normal thing to say!!! And don’t even get me started on your original poetry tease… it’s a shame that you only write it when you have to! 📜 When I initially made the scribe suggestion for Speaker I didn't even consider how it fulfills the role reversal theme when you take literary history into account. There’s a legacy of wives of famous authors serving as scribes for their husbands (for instance, Dostoevsky married his stenographer!). Speaker’s investment in L’s literary ambitions as her scribe creates this connection between them as intellectual peers regardless of the difference in status. L chose S to join her harem (at least in part) out of admiration for his literary scholarship, and he takes interest in her work as well. This meeting of their minds laying groundwork for the convergence of their bodies that ultimately collapses (even temporarily) the social distance between them is soooo rad; sapiosexual gang, rise up! 🧠❤️‍🔥 The scribe facet of his education playing into why he’s talented with his hands/fingers is… inspired (😈) too. A passionate, erudite dweeb who wants to yap about shared literary passions and pursuits before pampering + pleasure domming me? DREAM MAN! Concubine has my Gemini Sun + Gemini Venus in a fucking chokehold. He’s so good that I could have never dreamed him up, and now I need him so badly??? It’s sick! I am so appreciative that you ran with the scribe idea. Thank you! It’s extremely cool to hear a whim of mine incorporated into such a special audio. 💌 📜”Do you swear, do you swear on the Divine? My hands alone…?” August. 🧎🏻‍♀️I might just grant you temporary reprieve from my demands for a [hand kink] audio after this oily massage business because WHAT WAS *THAT* if not the heavy, hand stuff foreplay I’ve been championing?! 🤲🏼 This is some ethereal, otherworldly smut, dude. How you took a well-worn porn trope and alchemized it into this sumptuous erotic anointment makes me fucking crazy. There is the anointment in the sense of S literally rubbing oil onto L but also in the sense of S being anointed as a Chosen One, invited to a special sexual relationship with the Queen not afforded to the others. Big-brain shit. 🕯️✨ 📜”Let me savor this moment; let me feel your heartbeat throb through your clit beneath my fingers.” The counting up [edging]?.,!?.? Devastatingly pleasure dom “more, more, more” behavior even though the switch hadn’t happened yet? The sublime thrill in the uncertainty of how long he would make L ride the edge for him in the absence of the clear target of reaching 0 was soooooo fucking insane. This exertion of control as a means to pamper is what pleasure domming is all about, imo. I also would be remiss if I did not mention that the clit-centric dirty talk this year has been lethal; please keep going with this art. 📜 “All for you, all for you; all just my duty, my dedication to your pleasure, to your satisfaction, to your ecstasy; just like that. I am so blessed to see you this way. Your beauty, and your grace, and your power, all undone.” The effusiveness of these lines + the reverential tone—casually feeling like a deity, no biggie!!!! 🪽 📜 The [hair pulling] description of L’s hair in Speaker’s fist as he fucks her prone is deliciously feral; long-haired girlies (gn) annihilated in one fell swoop!!!! 📜 “How can I worship you like the others now?” The writing/performance of this section has made me into a woman possessed. Of course he can’t!!!! 👹🫵🏼 They have a relationship even more profound than idolatry. In this precious connection, they’ve renounced the stratification of worldly identities to be irrevocably bonded in the humanity of complementary carnal desire!!!: “All it takes is one push of my hard cock, and that royal cunt swallows me like any other.” L having more to abandon to make this kind of liberation possible makes her submission so dazzling. I love how your D/s is consistently informed by the principle that an F’s submission is to be “earned” rather than expected; it's extra nourishing in this pairing! 📜 The amount of storytelling in the one use of “sweetheart” after S has bred L!!! The only pet name used here devoid of any implied hierarchy, a verbalization of how status has been made irrelevant in this act of complete coalescence. Concubine has been glorified in the Queen’s deference as she has been humanized in his possession. This is LITERATURE, August. Queen x Concubine are like a new ancient mythology. Like, I wanna feverishly skim scholarly articles about them on JSTOR—what have you done?!?! 
I don’t know how to end this except with some sincere gratitude. I've been thinking about how you’ve said that, although you know not everyone in the audience enjoys the genre stuff, it fortifies you creatively and is essential to your drive to make audios. In my experience as a listener, lately I’ve found specific fortification in your genre work too. My biases as a genre audio lover aside, in Space Commander and this audio, you’re exploring an ethos of care for tenacious, self-determined women/femmes that is as encouraging as it is erotic, especially in this dark timeline we’re all navigating. Space Commander and Queen both have a lot of responsibility and share a commitment to using their influence to envision and ensure a more benevolent world. Their Ms appreciate the gravity of their labor and eagerly provide respite to them when given the opportunity, lavishing pleasure free from obligation or transactional expectations; pleasure for its own sake! This kind of enthusiastic gratification provided to F characters fighting the good fight is healing. Thank you so much for creating another jewel box of a genre audio universe for me to dream in. I’ll be slinking off to escape in the heat of this resplendent palace garden on many cold nights to come. 💭🪷🌞

the language in the beginning i- my shakespearean heart is screaming 🤭🤭🥺🥺

Laine 🦋

This is such a gorgeous reading omgggg, great Big Comment! I'm especially moved by "he’s the conduit between past and present, the bridge that connects the Queen to the greatest thoughts ever penned and yet, he doesn’t see himself that way". I wanna gobble him up 🥺. It's like for the first time, he's the subject. He's used to reading about other people's adventures, experiments, etc etc, but for the first time she makes him the subject and shines a spotlight on him. Now *he's* the special one! And conversely, she gets to just be a person. 1000% agree with you on channeling the divine with this one jfc

Gabriella 🥭

Oh my gosh, all this just in the past month? That's nuts! These are really lovely; I'm glad you're recovering and able to do art again!

Gabriella 🥭

This is THE audio. It cured my seasonal depression.

Lissa 💕

@gabriella: your comments always bring me so much joy; i wish i could accurately verbalize how much i cherish them!! 💖 you always pick up on so many of the details too! i wasn't sure if anyone would find the words "august" and "winter" hidden in this piece, so i'm thrilled you caught them~ and i love your interpretation of the garden growing wild and free through the restraints of the palace 🥰 thank you so so so much!! @divinefeminine: ahh i'm so happy to hear you like the little corner laid out for them!! this was originally supposed to be a fully indoor piece—because i started it before the audio actually dropped—but it ended up being so much more intimate after moving their space outdoors with the gardens~ thank you so much for enjoying it!! 💖

alisha 🌱

Omg wow these are beautiful 😍

Ohhhhh you touched heaven with this one. ✨ It’s soooOOOooo ethereal, so luscious, & just..out of this world. The atmosphere is indulgent, so impossibly luxurious, that it feels like an otherworldly dream. I imagine sunlight dripping lazily thru sheer curtains, the scent of sweet fruit and exotic flowers lingering in the air, the sound of the harp being played faintly in the background…flowery poetry that brings us into the haze of paradise. Even time moves strangely here. Is it afternoon? Evening? Who knows..and who cares. 🌴 ☀️ 🍷 Now…let’s meet our next contestant. A man of many tongues, he has likely spent years - if not decades - delving into ancient texts, endlessly translating the words of great poets & philosophers. I mean…sure, while others dazzle with strength or extravagant gestures, his charm lies in the delicacy of his art. His devotion is quieter but no less intense. He’s the conduit between past and present, the bridge that connects the Queen to the greatest thoughts ever penned and yet, he doesn’t see himself that way. 🥺😭❤️‍🩹 But it’s not about grandeur or conquest; it’s about being understood on a level no one else quite grasps, I believe this is where he comes in. He sparks conversations or recites poetry that linger in her thoughts long after he has left the room. His appeal lies in his ability to reach her on a more existential level - because despite the presence of admirers, does she truly connect with them or is she merely a symbol to be worshipped? Could the grandeur be masking a deeper loneliness? I *can’t* help but feel a certain way about this M, it’s impossible not to 😮‍💨 Reciting divine poetry with a voice that pulls like caramel. And his H A N D S *flips table* the vessel to his artistry. The same hands that scribe intricate verses are the ones that move and trace, gently coaxing the tension out of her body. *sigh* His poetry elevates her mind while his touch speaks directly to her body. If this isn’t intoxicating, idk what is 😩🦋🌈✨ ☁️ 0:00 Original Poetry?! I made the poetry suggestion with fingers crossed we’d get another SFW reading but incorporating it in an audio is, just…YES. ☁️”Of course, you are a human of flesh and blood and breath” ooffff…the way he pulls her back down to earth, stripping away the grandeur associated with royalty. Which makes the slut talk that much more delicious because deep down, that’s what she truly wants. 👏 ☁️“Let me feel your heart beat throb through your clit beneath my fingers” THIS is taking me out…sheeshhhhhh. What a line 😮‍💨😵‍💫 ☁️“Breathe with me, breathe” Seemingly simple but it carries intense weight….I truuuly love this. Two sides to this coin - The Poet. How he’s super attentive and reads her body. Building the right kind of tension (because not all tension is bad)…through touch & words, he builds anticipation. A reassurance that the tension is part of the process and what ultimately leads to release. Flip the coin - Outside of this scenario, where the command serves as an anchor. Where in the moment the mind can wander or tension can rise, the command pulls you back and his voice guides you in the moment. ugghhhh…soooo good. 🤌 ☁️ “I am here for you at all times, on all days, ᵒʳ ⁿⁱᵍʰᵗˢ.” A line for the ages 🫠 also, the 30 seconds of bird sounds that followed were really nice lol 🕊️ 99% sure you channeled the divine when you made this. This was such a pleasing audio to listen to, thank you August! ✨

DivineFeminine

Ugh you get it so bad 😖! "He’s kind of pathetic and she pulls him out of his head enough for him to truly give in to that animal" yes! And then to be celebrated on top of that, that actually, for her, he far surpasses the other (presumably) brawny concubines. I'm so so sweet on this pair omg.

Hey so I had health crap for the last six months of '24 but got inspired to pick up the paint brush again at the start of the year thanks to this community (and you, sir, of course).

the description of augusts ppl in this sounds like he is of arabic descent i love it.

akiscigarett

Being real, the delivery of that “turn over then” has me by the throat. There’s so much story here, being told in so many layers. The sex is fantastic, obviously, but the ✨story✨ is a mouthful of cognac & sweet cream. I would gladly live in this audio, Queen or concubine. So anyway. The way they humanize each other? The intimacy of poetry, the intimacy of massage, the intimacy of getting to know a new lover (that you’re bound to til death do you part)? His vulnerability, honesty, & cloistered academic mien juxtaposed with the animal side he so readily/casually acknowledges in himself (and her, *gasp*, giving her permission to delve into said carnal side without fear of recrimination)? God he’s such a fuckin nerd; he’s kind of pathetic and she pulls him out of his head enough for him to truly give in to that animal. They each allow the other the ability to be versions of themselves that they keep locked away from the world. The potential in this single scene is so potent I want to shove it into my mouth and let it dissolve on my tongue. Because that’s a normal response. *sigh* gg, you win again.

“The elixir of immortality will fill love’s sanctuary, wherever it is found. As long as poetry is cultivated on earth, so long will our lovers’ names resound” - Shaikh Mir Sayyid Manjhan Rajgiri (2000). Madhumalati: An Indian Sufi Romance (A. Behl & S. Weightman, Trans.). Oxford University Press. (Original work published ca. 1545) Well well well, what do we have here?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Feeling extremely “I’m not trapped in here with you, you’re trapped in here with *me*” about this one. I spent about 80% of my college years translating things from one language to another or transforming a clunky translation into something poetic or more modern (with varying degrees of success). Briefly, on translation, beyond meaning-making, finding a balance between my personal touch and the intentions of the author, and sufficient understanding of the cultural context(s) in which the original text was written, I found the most difficult part of translation to be diction. Finding the “perfect” word to capture meaning completely and with the most resonance is super hard! I would agonize over it often! It’s also a somewhat misguided task. Aiming for “perfection” (completion) is to try to ossify a moment in time and foreclose possible futures where you might choose a different word based on how you as the translation function have changed over time. Eventually, after getting out of my own way, I found it more meaningful to be responsive to my translation preoccupations at a given time rather than being Right. This Speaker (who I need SO badly, I’ve looped around to being scared of how much I like him and thus would like to never listen to this audio again) has a similarly present, adaptive approach. This has huge implications for his work as translator, as scribe, as masseur, as lover. I have to liken him to one of my other most favoritest boys, the yummiest guy, Spanking Bestie, with his capacity to rise to the needs of the moment. He is a dweeb, a total and utter nerd, and he seems to relish the opportunity to both display his knowledge and to be a student of her body. Where, how hard, how fast, how much, when to escalate, etc etc. He is SO good precisely because of his keenness, his ability to patiently observe and act with intention as a world is opened to him. Turning to the poetic universe informing this audio, omg Sufi poetry? For me?! You shouldn’t have! Have to say thank you, August, for unintentionally reminding me of Madhumalati, one of my favorite pieces of poetry from college! I found using the Sufi cosmology outlined by the translators and utilized by the author a helpful and fun lens through which to read/hear this audio. In the author’s cosmology, there are six planes that represent manifestations of the Absolute (God, the beloved [as here], your Medici-like benefactor, all being apt interpretations). That cosmology charts the cycle of fundamental unity/oneness, then separation, then oneness once more: 1️⃣ Level of Oneness (“unconditioned undetermined world of Absolute Oneness…prior to the beginning of everything): scene opens with both of them in the garden (paradise) together 2️⃣ Level of Unity (“first degree of manifestation…this is the world in which the Absolute manifests in the form of light, unity”): the queen is a poetry reader and writer, the light of something in him is revealed to be in her as well. 3️⃣ Level of Comprehensiveness (second degree of manifestation of the divine via literary forms [of Speaker and Listener, in this case], “plurality, identities, and interrelatedness”): the queen’s body is uncovered; the two lovers touch for the first time. Concubine makes clear that he doesn’t know her and must be instructed on how to touch her -> they are distinct entities, no longer one. The Concubine offers additional information on how different they are from each other and he from the other concubines. But in naming these perceived barriers, he underscores the falsehood of their difference. "S: I'm not like the other concubines 🥺. L: Yes, exactly 😍! Me either!" 4️⃣ Level of Souls (“world in which the human soul and God are aware of their separation and suffer the pain of Love in consequence”): Both of them are animal creatures, not Queen and Concubine. He can’t use his identity of scholar to reason his way out of this dilemma (longing for her desperately, but feeling chained social stratification and his own perceived inadequacy). They’re officially yearning to become one again. He is delighted by her humanity and having been revealed to him, he feels the pain of not being joined with her. In this narrative, they suffer this agony for a mercifully brief time. Breathwork in this part goes crazyyyyyyyyyy 5️⃣ Level of Imaginal Forms (“This is a world symbolized by picture-galleries, gardens reminiscent of Paradise, and young and beautiful unawakened maidens. It is in the picture-gallery that Manohar and Madhumalati meet for the second time and where she tells him her beauty cannot be seen with ordinary eyes”): I need you to stay with me here. This is the edging (AITW galaxy brain time dilation device). They slide into a different plane entirely where their titles have no influence over their relationship to each other. In fact, they are the barriers that have been in the way of unity. Of course he’s freaking out and can’t believe it having encountered “the divine” fully and would like to extend this moment for as long as possible, this seemingly impossible place where they’re equals. Additionally, the breeding would result in an entity that truly makes them one. 6️⃣ Level of Sense Experience (“world of bodies”): this is them snapping back into the real world, but having gained something: appreciation of their union because they now understand what it meant to be separate. Here, love is special knowledge, and not everyone (like her other concubines) can attain this level of education. They cannot join with her in the ways he has. Fugue state prose: He is not immortalized in poems, his story etched into stone for perpetuity. Rather, he lives on in the echoes of grip on the curves of my body, the wetness forming in my mouth. The blind devotion of the statuesque concubines now leaves me cold, loved but lonely and unknown. Who could know a cooling oil could produce such heat, could be the fuel for love’s lamp burning bright in my bosom. I lay myself before him like an offering. My jewels and coins have no value here, I can only give of myself, and I give, I give. I sing his name. Let it ring through the halls, let the warm breeze carry it across the kingdom, let the birds sing his song in all their travels. This is the least I can do for he who freed me. Errata: 🌺 I am very much aware of the fact that we keep getting reaaaaaaaaaaaaal close to a snowball 👁️👁️ ⚪ 🌺 Fun fact: the audio art is the Ordzhonikidze Sanatorium in Sochi which is so apt because this has made me incredibly unwell (clearly), and I need to go to there IMMEDIATELY. 🌺 "In all my days, in heaven or earth, I never would’ve dreamt it". Me either, can you believe it?! 🌺 “Here for you at all times”. He is omnipresent and dominating her every thought and also in service to her. Both god and devotee. They have finally been annihilated and are united again. The agony of separation is over! That’s crazy, dude. 🌺 28:28 to 30:20 dropped me into subspace, then the breeding section started, and I truly blacked out. 🌺 Her sort of becoming an ascetic before him (removing all the trappings of royalty, totally bare) is so fucking rad and hot and big-brained. I also really liked this in the Tailor audio, his Lady eventually ending up on her knees when before the Tailor was presumably bent low to fix her dress. 🌺 I don’t know how to describe the sound the Concubine makes when he flips the Queen over for breeding, but that like… simultaneously shocked by her whorish behavior, elated by her request, scandalized, overwhelmed by the opportunity sound is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo 💦💥 🌺 Absurdly funny to have a DT #18 breathe/breed reference here (I think?) TL;DR: Immaculate vibes, captured with this song, Fanaa from Yuva (2004): https://youtu.be/kL3ngGSf73A?feature=shared. Only okay lyrics translation here: https://www.filmyquotes.com/songs/2496. I’d personally translate “hona hai fanaa” more like “(I) must be destroyed/annihilated”. I also want to invoke DTs #11 and #15, peak examples of some essential qualities here present in this audio that make it so hot: low stress, high affection, explicitly erotic. Okayyyyyy, I think I was successfully Normal and Cool about an audio 🥳👏🏿. FINALLY, I thought it was impossible. Thank you, you make me sick 💗! I'm *so* sorry that I will inevitably say even more about this audio....

Gabriella 🥭

for obvious reasons this made me think of the childish gambino line “e e cumming on her face, now that’s poetry in motion” 🙂‍↕️

Rachel

This dynamic is so fucking hot. August has an incredible way of making the rough stuff feel so safe 🥰

FuzzyLlama

I've been sick as a dog and this is just the warm hug I needed. I love me a well-read man. Especially one that can give back rubs. Am currently manifesting.

Freya

You do genre like no other. This was just absolute perfection.

cryingintheclub

The breathy: “as you wish” Still. So. Damn. Powerful. I want more medieval fantasy.. Rival Knights E2L or frenemy to lovers…forbidden love…Mad King and his new concubine?? Possible mff for that one I think….im tipsy 🤦‍♀️ but I just need more of it…okay I will shut up

✨Vi✨

I think this is the first audio I felt transported to feeling as the listener and allowing myself to imagine being pampered and taken care of as a queen. There was an invisible breeze and hearing poetry read put me in a dream state. This Patreon subscription came with an outdoor massage this month 💆🏻‍♀️

if anyone has tried honeypot pads with those infused oils, those feel minty as fuck n it burns my kitty😭😭😭😭😭 so i know i would be screaming OUCHHHH if this was me getting fingered with minty oil residue 😭😭😭😭

amy

no besides that this was an audio i was craving!! i been reading a lot of manhwas and mangas recently about this era and once i saw the poll i knew i was gonna be on my knees for this one. and genre audios never get the hype they deserve especially because you do them SO WELL i cannot explain. moral of story is this audio gave me an exorcism and i very much approve

amy

“there are many forms of companionship” babe just put the dick in already LMAOOOOOOOO

Rigged election. Plain and simple.

“Shady politics” 😂😂😭😭

Dana 💥

I don’t know, I just have to say thank you. The quality of your work is unmatched, and I feel immensely grateful for the effort you put in. I’ve needed (even simulated) attention since a monumentally terrible recent breakup. Thank you, thank you. Even if you never put anything else out, I’d stay here just for the content you’ve already released.

I applaud the chicanery that led to this win, we were well and truly bamboozled. Shady politics aside, you very obviously enjoyed creating this scene: the poetry is gorgeous (Hafez? *golf clap*), the soundscape vibrant and lush, the overall vibe deeply sumptuous. Your pet projects are always so rich. You are a fantastic storyteller, and now I'm going to go dwell* on all the nuance you delivered so casually. *twirl my hair and write poetry about yearning and the ceaseless quest for repletion. and sex probably.

AITW out here like "hold my beer" and casually puts out another banger😏 for the masses. You came out swinging for 2025 sir, and I applaud your insane creative skills👏🏽 The world building, voice range and *texture*, the script, SFX, ambiance, editing, the way your delivery transports us to this queen's harem - like we are watching them and/or ARE the L - truly second to none talent. There are so many layers to this one and to your whole catalog that i can't handle it (i.e. absolutely re-listening to all repeatedly) This one was so luxuriating to listen to - i felt like I was a pampered queen who was so revered and appreciated! 👑 Massaging her while reciting poetry , softly speaking and worshipping, then all the filthy talk with the breeding... Is enough to send us to the fkn stratosphere, that's a goddamn guarantee ✅ The edging of telling us to wait 5-6 hours for this to drop🫠, the reverse psych voting, all diabolical but is it worth it? Ofc😂

AlitaNYM

oh the spanks were *CRISP*

Moira

Can’t wait to listen but I just have to acknowledge the fact that he knows us well enough to know that “this won’t win” absolutely worked. Diabolical. I love it.

Jinxdancer

Rachel, I am crashing out in such a specific and intense way. I am literally looking through my college notes on Sufi poetry and trying to figure out if I have time to reread all of Madhumalati. I have too much to say??????? I am no way, shape, or form Okay or going to be Normal about this 🥴👍🏿. And as another translation girlie, I *know* you are as unwell, solidarity 🫂

Ok, but could we revisit that “tattooed mage” you mentioned? ☝🏼

AUGUST I HAD THINGS TO DO TODAY.

Deus_ex_Lucefina

Thank you everyone! 🥺

erin 💕

August, it is 9:41am. I am sitting here with a head full of breeding talk at 9:41am.

Llama

the choice to make this scholar/scribe a literary translator vs. my og historian pitch so that [poetry] could be core to the storytelling of the audio? I need to be fucking CLOISTERED; this is some get-*me*-to-a-nunnery type shit!! just in a frenzy over the complete fulfillment of erotic fantasies I never could’ve concocted for myself!!!! I’ll be seated in the front row for your Big Comment’s debut 🪑🥰

i’ll be back to listen but i already know it’s gonna serve

Swoon.

PlainJaneJezebel

Good morning to me!!! Last night, I literally got into bed, laid my head on the pillow, and immediately saw the notification, so you already know I was sleeping fitfully. This is so fucking insane, I want to wait till I have the perfect nutting apparatuses in place. It doesn’t deserve a regular one. *Broski mad scientist voice* "Yes…yes…. It will be perfect! I’ll need a Hissmith, six pillows, four yards of rope, two Gatorades, a hitachi, a – [full episode of GoT later], then I can nut. It’s so simple!” Girl WHAT 😞🙄👀🔫🔫🔫 Anyway, will return with too many words, but this is far beyond my wildest dreams. I cannot believe you put Sufi poetry in here, I am SHAKING. Experiencing catatonia and racing thoughts all at once! I am beside myself with how perfect I think this is holy fucking shit.....

Gabriella 🥭

Just reading The divan of hafiz made this worth it!

oh noooo I was tricked into msub to mdom finger sucking breeding and a taste of august poetry!! what will I do!?

i for one am glad to have been BAMBOOZLED into voting for this audio 🙂‍↕️✅

Jumping out of bed to grab my earphones so that I could give it another listen… was so distracted by his voice and breathing and the sfx and wasn’t able to focus on the poems but my GOD everything worked so well together…

Hope you feel better, Erin 🫶🏼

Dana 💥

He’s a menace to society, he knows it AND he prides himself in it 😭😂

Dana 💥

admitting you rigged the elections is craaaazy 😭 i loved the bashful talk talk talky though, it got me to relax and unwind even before the massaging so this switchy sexy scholar experience was a 10/10. All is forgiven I GUESS

1. Did you just read half of your poem?? Post it somewhere please? The ‘texture’ of the last line was….oof. 2. The ambiance for this one is mighty. MIGHTY. This is some new level of space building. (The sound of the pages turning…LOVE IT) 3. I have said that multiple times before but im going to say that again: the subtle change in tone is the best best best part. 4. He sounds calm and collected but at the same time he also sounds like he is ready to be the winner of the palace drama. 5. “I didn't know it is permitted...” The slight taste of vulnerability… that is something powerful 6. The eager kisses and breathy “as you wish”. It is THE butterfly moment for me in this audio. 7. bsjshxbsuzsni how dare you just casually summon my dream lover shbshsnsjs He is real yet so unreal I AM SO MAD NOW SIR 8. I don't need a harem, I just need him…and the enemy prince too. *shifty eyes* that's not greedy! 9. But I do owe you one for putting poetry back to me I guess? At least I started to do that again. Good to know that I still can write stuff. EDIT: I was so *mad* when this one dropped lol i mean how could you just give me less than 40 minutes of that man?? (I know it is longer than usual but.. Okay I'm greedy for this type of audio)...Yeah so I picked up writing again and scribbled frantically something. I will let this one breathe here and moving forward to revise and rewrite. Okay, bye. Before the distraction it was all in peace. I burn down myself constantly as pages into ashes I should have been collecting my remains shaping them into something Anything maybe a scream or quiter a pray Yet I tried and tried language is still fleeing from my chest while I failed so many times in scratching the prose out of that face 01/31/2025

✨Vi✨

Guess this will be a great one to wake up to in the morning. And for the record, *eye* did not get tricked into voting for this one. Hmmmph. (don't worry I know I'll still love it -- switches get me every time)

Knotty Kittie

Holy shit. I'm going to fall asleep thinking about these characters. So much was conveyed with the concubine's breathing alone during the massage. I loved hearing it grow more shallow and his voice more strained. Praise + degradation + breeding + hair pulling + moans + dirty talk in such a cool, refined voice that also somehow managed to sound completely unhinged! Yo, this had me melting.

Let’s find out! 🫡 “I TRICKED MOAN INTO VOTING FOR”, glad to know that our crash out was entertaining for you🥹 (It will most definitely work again). Looking at the tags, I think I can cross something off on my bingo card!!! Also some original poetry??????? I’m so readyyyyyyy

Deedee 🫶🏾

Yesssss! You made one for each audio, didn’t you? YOU STRUCK SO BEAUTIFULLY ❤️

Dana 💥

Good morning! Good afternoon, my lovelies! And welcome to yet another edition of Dana’s Slightly(?) Unhinged Chronicles. 📝📝📝📝📝 Knuckles? Cracked. AirPods? Charged. Coffee? Ready. Tags? UNREAD; I decided to not even read the title of the audio. I really plunged myself in here for a surprise today~~ LET’s GO! So, yeah, welcome to my YouTube Channel for an AITW Blind React! Ooh we’re starting with a poem? Ugh, such a polite speaker. His tone of voice is so calm and collected. THAT IS NOT GOOD, we know calm and collected is dangerous in the Augustverse. Being praised as a monarch feels good, y’all. Keep it coming, Aug! I imagined him at first sitting at her feet on the floor while she’s on her chaise, listening, clinging to his every word. Ugh having a male concubine sounds very hot. “Massage”, “flowering”, “oil”…. Oh god. This is gonna be crazy. “Cooling, really? How does it work?” I legit went “MINT! It’s MINT!” Cuz I love em during a relaxing massage. Yeah massages are gonna hit different after this 🫠🫠🫠🫠 He’s NOT reading poetry while massaging… oh my god… I’m blacking out. It is so intimate! [11:06] “There were no fine oils for us, and I did not have so fine a canvas to work with, I assure you.” I remember this man once said he’s no poet but….. WHAT THE FUCK?! This is absolute mastery of words 😭😭😭🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 Ugh this speaker’s “yes, your highness” and “I’m sorry your, highness” is giving me shivers. The breaths, the politeness, it’s as close as MSub for me at this point. I wonder if he’ll remain an MSub to the end, or switch (again I didn’t read the title or the tags so bear with me) [13:06] “No, of course you are a human; flesh, and blood, and breath, perhaps that’s what makes it so strange cuz when I squeeze, you inhale, and when I press my thumb, you exhale, when I brush you like that you squirm, just as anyone else would” he knows what he’s doing, this speaker, he’s so good with words that he’s using it to seduce her, and she’s enjoying it, VERY EVIDENTLY. [14:14] “No, your highness, it is not adoration, and it is certainly not faint. I may not know you well yet but we all have the animal part of us, don’t we?” Oh you little…. I love how he said ‘yet’, he’s confident he’s getting close to her. “If that part could talk, well, your highness, it might ask… you to turn over, if you wished.” .. Oh of course she would turn over! Who wouldn’t fucking turn over when it’s WORDED LIKE THAT?! [14:55] “Lie back towards me, yes, lift your head, so I can hold the sides of your neck, and rest my thumbs there, and breathe, just breathe, release all the tension in your head, relax your body, feel yourself go limp” yeah he’s definitely gently, and delicately CHOKING HER, but I’m not striking it off my bingo yet cuz it isn’t explicitly so🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 [16:55] “Tend to that standing, pressing pearl, wet, sliding circles and warm blood rushing all between your legs. Gently , gently, rock your hips gently, Your Grace, I hesitate to tease or stimulate you too much for fear you will send me away and call one of your others for proper relief” ughhhhhhhhh no the others will not tend to you like that, your freaking grace. This… delicate, well-mannered, well-spoken man 😭😭😭😭😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 The class play in this is beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and STRIKEN OFF MY BINGO WOOHOOOO! Him being in disbelief that his fingers alone managed to bring her close to the edge is so good! Very well-portrayed 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😭 [19:03] “One more heartbeat, your highness, two more, three, four, five, six, yes, just a few more, seven, eight, nine, ten, now let go, come for me, my queen” UGH THE COUNTING IS BACK! Spoken in the manner of heartbeats makes it all so freaking insane! This speaker reminds me of the sinful suitor as they both were so good with words at all times. Can’t wait for the rest of this! [23:00] “That mouth belongs to you now, doesn’t it?” UGHHHHHHH YES IT DOES, YOUR HIGHNESS! GET IT, QUEEN 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 [24:47] “You would help undress me, your highness? So desperate for your new servant’s cock” Aaaand here it is, the switch 😭😭😭🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 to tell y’all that class play makes my brain TINGLE! I am ENJOYING THIS! Help I’m blacking out. HELP! [25:43] “Feeling yourself stroke that common, foreign cock, like it was made for it, hmm? *SPANK* hmm, Your grace? You look scandalized, my queen” WELL YES WHAT THE FUCK, AUGUST?! If I could have a list of ridiculously well-written one-liners that BLEW my mind, THIS is one of them! Perhaps I should make a list 😭 He’s really going at it with the spanking, huh, heck yeah! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 [28:35] “No one tugs you by the hair like the needy slut you are, is that it?” HAIR PULL, FUCK YEAH! We were talking about that once, it’s just too good 👌🏼👌🏼 [29:00] “How can it be that you’re so beautiful to me? No, no, not adoration, your highness, it’s anger, it’s obsession, how can I worship you like the others now? Now that your hair is in my fist, and you’re sucking on my thumb, calling yourself my good little whore” Sir please I am a puddle right now I cannot start my day like this it’s just 10:30 AM 😭😭😭😭😭 this switch from the polite, well-mannered young man to that possessive, obsessive, primal animal of a man. PHEW, talk about character development in 29 minutes *fans self* [29:32] “Now when I see you sitting on your golden throne, all I want is to strip you naked and fuck you in your Jewelry; on your throne with your legs spread; on your hands and knees on the marble floors; shove you against a wall and fuck you full every way you can be taken. What torture it will be to look on you that way? And if have to share you with you concubines? Share you with your court? Share you with your kingdom? I should just be claiming you, day and night” I am THIS CLOSE 🤏🏼 to LOSING MY MIND! The idea of her wearing ONLY the Jewelry! It’s giving ‘draw me like one of your French girls’ but instead of a canvas and a piece of coal, it’s her body and his tongue 🤌🏼🤌🏼 “My tongue, my hands, my cock in all your fucking holes” my goodness. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 [30:30] “First time you’ve had this cock, you want an heir from me already? Turn over then, you shouldn’t be bred from behind, you slut, you should be mated like this” THAT TONE, SIR. Did the brat in that speaker come out?! Cuz it’s BEAUTIFUL! That “turn over” OH MY WORD! *Gasp* Yup, I slightly blacked out and got light-headed at the breeding talk, and the Pretty Boy Moans™ made an appearance once more, THE TINGLES 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊 *GULPS A JUG OF WATER* We are back! So I went in this audio without even reading the title; I mean I knew it was the Harem one cuz that’s the one that won the poll but I wanted to go in not expecting anything, GET MY BRAIN JUICES GOING! And you 🫵🏼 delivered 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 When you said the audio will be delayed I knew it was gonna be good. You know “fashionably late” is a thing. 😄👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Going back to read the description “Finishing up January with a genre audio that I TRICKED THE MOANS INTO VOTING FOR hahaha” LMAO I CANNOT WITH YOU 😂😂😂😂 I’m glad you’re having fun giving us all those audios, truly! You know, in here we believe that a chef should be in a good mood for a meal to be well-prepared and YOU COOKED and OBVIOUSLY in such good-spirits! I enjoyed every bit of the audio, from the original poetry (!!!!!! Sir?!!!!) to the translations read throughout, to the transition from such an obedient servant to a beautifully possessive MDom. Chapeau, August, I have nothing more to add other than PLEASE HYDRATE, you beautiful menace 👏🏼👏🏼 Well done for yet another successful work 🔥🤌🏼 Updated bingo card! Only one struck out today which is VERY good: https://imgur.com/a/vveXEHa

Dana 💥

it’s 3am + there’s an appliance repairman due at my apartment in t-minus 5 hours (it has been a *week*, gang ✌🏼) BUT before I can sleep: Does Speaker’s “In all my days, in heaven or earth, I never would’ve dreamt it” line recall “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy” for anyone else? Or am I just a fucking nerd who sees Hamlet everywhere? 🫣 I’ll be back to write an unreasonable amount about this audio (threat?). I fear this high fantasy lover + literary translation girlie cannot be perfunctory when it comes to thoughts on Bookish Concubine🧎🏻‍♀️💗

The latter half is the perfect combination of admiration and degradation I’m dead hello 🥹🫠

cherrypop808

This one is just a masterpiece (I say every time you post). The writing was wonderful! I felt very much like an intellectual for the first 10 minutes at least 🤭

Ruth

okay essay incoming because i need to talk about this: more poetry? please, i would simply lie down and die?? listening to his original poem plus other readings may have been the peak for me… and this is smut 😧 WHICH OBVIOUSLY THE REST WAS HOT but my point is i’m gnawing at the bars of my enclosure. the sfw bram stoker reading was amazing too. also, this character is so? ?? okokok fav part is how subtle the characterization is — i skipped reading the description at first because i wanted to go in blind. and obviously this is something august does very well, but like making the speaker (and listener) character seem so fleshed out without detracting from the scenario is so impressive!! and also i need to draw him, he’s my shayla, would eat him in 2 bites EZ ALSO ALSO ALSO genre audios are the best audios prove me wrong (SPOILER: you can’t). idk if i have problems or if every audio will always top the preceding one, but i really thought we reached the absolute peak w the brute audio. i’m now realizing there is INFINITE POTENTIAL and also i need to chew through plywood. speaking of the brute audio: “breed you properly, over and over, until you bear one of mine” THROWBAAAAAACK (it’s over for me) anyway: brain chemistry altered. thank u, yum, etc etc 🩰

chlo 🩰

HE GOT ME!! THIS IS MY FAVOURITE GUY!!! hi the poetry readings were my favourite part,,, i started feeling feelings 💥

chlo 🩰

The sfx, the dialogue, the pacing, the praise, the setting, the idea that there’s some buff warrior concubines somewhere getting jealous? Holy fuck. All perfection. I am increasingly grateful I didn’t settle for free Reddit content every time another audio is posted here. Worth every cent.

sav kate

Idk about everyone else but I voted for this not because august tricked me but because it’s the one he wanted to do so I thought it would turn out best (also the breeding). The language is more flowery I think it is of an earlier time period than others and the reference to the female orgasm being helpful for fertility adds to that theory. Alot of these period pieces have to find a way to navigate power dynamics inherent to gender relations at the time. You do such a good job putting the listener characters in positions of power where their yes or no would mean something. Subbing is often just hotter when you had some power to give away in the first place. I love his commitment to separating love from lust and the theme of admiration even when he’s in those guts. He’s an honest fella I like him. The period specific language really lets you paint some beautiful and slutty pictures with words that wouldn’t fit as well in other audios. The switch really picked up with that first smack. Love an abrupt switch, love it when listener doesnt see it coming. Lines: “We all have the animal part in us don’t we” say less. “When it comes to fucking this hot little cunt for you you’re just a woman moaning beneath me” Fuck! Fav line. We can have a little gendered degradation as a treat thank you. “How can I worship you like the others When your hair is in my fist…Now when I see you sitting on your throne all I want is to strip you naked and fuck you in your jewelry “ beautiful imagery great delivery. “Turn over then! You shouldn’t be bred from behind you slut you should be mated like this.” The breeding forreal forreal … I didn’t have a breeding kink before this patreon. And what am I supposed to do. This is making it worst. And I’ve been saving this shitty joke since the valentine 3some. In the augustverse nice guys finish last but they also finish inside 🤓😎

I’d like the record to reflect that I recognized it was a trick and gleefully voted for this option anyway. Incredible as always

mags

Lol fair enough. fwiw, I think us enjoying the little snippet at the beginning just reinforces how much we love your writing

phonons

so do these fine oils not cause yeast infections 😭 (worth it imo)

Mimi (she they)

August reciting poetry is the most calming, enjoyable thing one could ever wished for 🥲🥰 you are just so gifted ❄️🩵 Thank you

cherrypop808

This is my favorite character dynamic out of all your audios. Another classic diva tysm 😌💕

Adaora

I'm honestly speechless. Your talent knows no bounds. We all knew you could nail the shy/nerdy roles, but a multilingual scholar giving L a flowering while reciting poetry? That’s just next-level insanity. You said you don’t read as much as we thought, but you clearly have an extensive reading list. Please consider sharing it so the rest of us can try to keep up! Also, I know they’re not from the same timeline/universe, but could it be possible that we're watching someone go from cheating with his professor to helping his tutee to serving his queen? What a career trajectory lol Me: they didn’t teach me that in school… Him: I do have some skills I didn’t learn from a book. Okay you win lol

Thank you so much, phonons!!!!! That's so kind, really glad the dialogue works for you. I'm afraid the rest of the poem does not exist, I only really write poetry when I have to, like for erotic fantasy audios hahaha

August Winter

JENNI

Hope you're on the mend soon!

phonons

lol i was having a freakout and i saw this while looking for the anxiety audios!! yayayay!!!

chlo 🩰

I WOKE UP YES 😭

Dana 💥

you’re awake!!

Mimi (she they)

this audio buried me, then carved “here lies ella, a royal slut 👑” on my tombstone.

Ella

manifesting genre every month ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

pretzelpatrons

Also, I'd love to hear/read the rest of the poem at the very beginning 👀

phonons

Yes! My mouth was agape

phonons

Okay I’m going in without even reading the title; no title, no tags, AirPods in. Pray for me 😂😭

Dana 💥

okay I forgive the psychological warfare that went into this winning over my beloved #3 because the POETRYYY (I'm not even done listening but your original bit at the beginning was beautiful and the overall vibes of this audio in just the first 10 minutes I've listened to are so relaxing and ethereal and ughhh it's exactly what I needed) ♥️ very thrilled for this extra fun double-August day!!

hc

… i blacked out ??? guess i gotta… listen again ? 🙂‍↕️

Mimi (she they)

Whoa! What a way to start the year. I will always gladly accept getting tricked into voting for the genre audio because they are ALWAYS certified bangers. I'm so hyped after listening to this. I need to go chew on that baseball bat again. I'm completely blown away by the dialogue and acting here. Your ability to make the dirty talk sound "period" without it feeling forced truly speaks to your strengths as a writer and actor. You're seriously on a league of your own

phonons

August: Your Highness Me: *new kink unlocked* I don’t even know what this kink is, but I’m not mad about losing the poll anymore🫠

秦词

"and it's ready to be filled, isn't it?" LORDDDDDDDDDD

joe

AlitaNYM

adrian🍑

hexa

okay but im so in love with the noises that the Listener character's clothing makes when disrobing ! ! ! jingle make my brain go brrrrrrr also immediately made me think of the siren from Jibaro from Love Death and Robots

adrian🍑

Louise

wiggie

yanna

ughh I love the nature sounds and the dirty talk, this audio is so good <3

miso soup

It's too early to listen to this so I'll save it for later. The "I TRICKED THE MOANS INTO VOTING FOR hahaha" part is evil, no wonder why you're the final boss here 🙂‍↔️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=klnQ6EOOKxk (it's absolutely not a representation of August's hahaha)

riri

you’re so real for this

mina

Ok, I'll listen to this after Severance

Jokes on you I was born to be a princess ‘‘twas not a trick I only saw an opportunity and took it

Ananinha 2.0

no need to reverse psychology if they’re ALL genre audios… just saying (:

Mimi (she they)

YES, thank you!! It was a great suggestion, very aligned with what I'd been thinking!! I can almost never resist making M a dweeb

August Winter

Some men just want to watch the world burn gif
