Deviant Life #54

I promise things are going to get more upbeat soon.  There wasn’t supposed to be this much time between Deviant Life strips so this storyline wasn’t supposed to take up a half a year.

At least I know some people will be happy to see the problems in Dace and Audrey’s relationship addressed. There’ve been those saying she needs to dump him since strip #20.  

But don’t think this will be the last we see of Dace.

The first new strip since June! Woohoo!

I wish OnlyFans had existed back when I had nesting partners actively interested in doing virtual sex work. It feels like a model that would have worked really well for what they wanted to do and I would have had so much fun helping them behind the scenes.

This strip was thrown out onto the various social media pages for Discerning Deviant way back in June when I was going through some shit and put everything related to this site on what I thought would probably be a permanent hiatus. I’d already been sitting on it for quite a while and nearly didn’t release it at all except that it nagged at me, so I released it in the laziest way I could and didn’t bother actually updating this site.

I’d forgotten this little detail when I went to upload the first new strip since the hiatus and realized that if I didn’t make a post for this one there’d be a gap. So here’s that post.

It’s been a long while since Audrey’s long distance girlfriend Terry has shown up, at least in a speaking role.

I have to say I’m deeply envious of people who have partners they can shelter with during these isolating times.

We’re back! I’ve missed y’all!

For those who care what’s going on with me, due to health problems I have left New York and returned to my birth state of Georgia to be closer to my family and support network. I’ve been staying with family in Gaineville (GA, not FL) while getting some extensive dental work done (an average of two dentist visits a week…so much fun) and trying to work out where I’m going to work and living in Atlanta.

My health has drastically improved since leaving New York. I’m in nowhere near the levels of chronic pain I was in before. Where I was spending most of my time between 8-10 on the ten scale in 2019, I’ve been staying mostly in the 2-4 range lately which is certainly much more livable.

Because I have no income right now, and I pay D. White to draw the Deviant Life strips, I’m only able to get back to posting strips again because of my wonderful Patreon supporters. So, much love to them for letting me continue to indulge in one of the few things that brings me joy through these dark times.

Confession: I’m somewhat addicted to Apex Legends. I’m kind of trash at it, being a middle aged dude who isn’t usually into multiplayer shooters, but I still love it. Caustic, who Bernard is dressed as in this strip, is one of my mains and I’ve been dying for months to make this joke even though I’m not sure how much overlap there is between Deviant Life readers and Apex Legends players. I hope there’s at least a few and that they find this as funny as I do.

In other news, I made it out to the Sex Expo in at the Brooklyn Expo Center on Saturday. I had a great time. I got meet Lexi and Max from the Off the Cuffs podcast, which was delightful.

I also enjoyed catching up with Dirty Lola, who was there repping for #open, an awesome sounding dating app that breaks with the modern dating app convention of looking at a picture and deciding from that if you’re interested in someone by actually focusing on people finding each other by shared interests. I’m stoked to give that a try, as appearance is seriously one of the least important factors in whether I want to be romantically involved with someone.

Another highlight was catching the “5 Reasons Why Sex Parties are Important” by Hacienda. As someone who has loves sex parties, and has thrown quite a few, I always love hearing people talk about why they’re so great.

The pulled pork sandwich I bought from the expo’s food vendor was tops.

I didn’t stay very long because I’d run into a lot of issues before making it into the expo that had significantly diminished my spoon pool and the expo was quite crowded, draining them further.  I’m glad for the few hours I spent there.

Continuing with making the Patreon reward pin ups available to everyone after a year, here’s the one from September 2018. It was shortly after Joy was introduced in the strips so I asked Deviant Life artist D. White to include her in the pin up.
