Hello all, once again! I hope that those of you experiencing extreme winter weather in the northern hemisphere right now are staying warm, toasty, careful, and dry❤️
Today, to lift any of you listeners’ sleepy, precipitation-soaked spirits, I bring you… a little bit of an experiment of an audio from me!
The short version is this: welcome to my first-ever third-person-narrated audio erotica!! It's like a radioplay!
The long version is this: …I’ve been listening to a lot of music by Tom Waits lately. Especially his rambly, slice-of-life Americana tracks, which are basically just craggy-voiced, third-person narration of working-class ennui laid over some very industrial jazz.
In other words: it's beautiful stuff! I know it’s so cheesy to love, but god DAMN if it doesn’t hit something in me every time, whether it’s something schmaltzy and sweet like “Martha” (1973) and “Christmas Card From a Hooker In Minneapolis” (1978), dark and foreboding like “9th and Hennepin” (1985), or melancholic and sexy like “Burma Shave” (1977). It is some of the most tactile, poetically sparse, and hauntingly, emotionally honest stuff ya ever did hear.
SO—- getting into all this lately lead me to thinking that omg, you know what would be really fun? To make a little homage to this sort of music and (arguably theatric) performance by doing my own poor-man’s Tom Waits voice, graveling-it-up in post-production, and using it to read a spoken word track of something I wrote, with some homemade background music in GarageBand to boot… but also make it end with, ya know… some sex; the one thing Mr. Waits had all the artistic restraint to (largely) and provocatively exclude from his lyrical output, but which I am of course all too base and happy to indulge in, here at my silly little internet science-project known as MuinTheWitch. We ARE on audio-erotica Reddit, after all. “When in Rome…” You know the rest❤️
Anyways— here I’ll leave out the sort of plot setup that I might usually do, just because this sort of story isn’t starting en media res like my other audios.
CONTENT NOTES: (While this audio — by nature of being a third-person-perspective narration — does not operate as a “listener insert,” I WILL still mention, for the sake of heads-up for taste in “what genders and body types of people do you enjoy hearing about boning, "relayed-to-you-as-a-story-secondhand-at-a-party” style-- that the characters in this audio are a cis-man and a non-binary femme, and are an interracial couple.
The nb femme character goes by she/they pronouns, but this is not revealed narratively until several minutes into the story, so for continuity’s sake, the narrator only begins alternating between the two when referencing this character after this point, and beforehand is solely using “she,” etc.
Body-specific terms used in reference to the former are “cock,” “dick,” “balls,” “chest of alabaster and bare,” “full lips,” and “hand tattoos.” Terms used in reference to the latter are “belly,” “cunt,” “stomach birthmark,” “curly hair/ a “bob” haircut,” "eyes of caramel," and “bronze skin."
I hope y’all enjoy this steamy, slow-burning, heartfelt little love-letter to the musical and literary stylings of Tom Waits in all his creaky, crooning, goblin-voiced glory.
Until next time, lovelies❤️ Ta ta!
