Today feels like the right day to start something new.
Some of you know me as Baby Ganymede. Over the last few years I’ve shared stories, artwork, ideas, and pieces of myself through that journey. It’s been a space that’s given me far more support and friendship than I ever expected, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
But alongside those stories, another world has been growing in my imagination. Darker. More structured. More focused on leather, rubber, ownership, power, and the emotional connections that can exist within those dynamics.
That’s where Lucien Vale comes in.
This Tumblr will follow the development of Black Leather, my newest novel, as well as my own exploration of the leather and rubber side of the community. I’ll be sharing writing updates, character ideas, aesthetics, inspiration, and the occasional photo as I figure out exactly where this journey leads.
The first draft of Black Leather is now complete, and I’m deep into edits. Seeing the story take shape has reminded me why I wanted to create this space in the first place.
So consider this my introduction.
Writer. Rubber enthusiast. Lover of dark leather aesthetics and meaningful power exchange.
And this is where the next chapter begins.
A few photos to start the journey.
