We *love* to document our failures.

We love to catalog the ways we can be broken.

“People assume the T-Word Monster is just one creature. They’re wrong.”

The first mistake every new recruit makes is imagining a single monster lurking beneath the bed.

There isn’t one.

There are thousands.

An entire hidden society.

A civilisation.

Some call it an army.

I might disagree.

An army has ranks.

The T-Word Monsters have a hive.

They learn from one another. They evolve together. Every encounter makes the entire species more dangerous.

But… for the sake of your field notes…

Here’s the closest thing we have to a hierarchy.

⸻

Tier One — The Whisperers

The scouts.

Ironically, they rarely touch anyone.

They observe.

They collect information.

They know who startles easily, who instinctively protects certain spots, who laughs when they’re nervous, and who insists they’re “not ticklish.”

Most victims never realise they’ve already been profiled.

The Whisperers believe resistance is simply delayed surrender.

They’re frightening because they don’t need hands.

They only need your imagination.

⸻

Tier Two — The Tacticians

Every successful ambush begins with one of these.

They’re planners.

Strategists.

Architects of chaos.

They engineer impossible situations.

A chair placed just slightly wrong.

A feather left in plain sight.

A casual brush against an arm.

Nothing seems deliberate…

…until it’s too late.

If you’ve ever wondered how the monsters always seem three steps ahead…

You weren’t unlucky.

A Tactician already mapped the battlefield.

⸻

Tier Three — The Enforcers

This is what most people imagine when they hear “T-Word Monster.”

The hands.

The brushes.

The feathers.

The impossible speed.

The relentless confidence.

They’re the ones who carry out the work everyone else prepared.

Powerful?

Absolutely.

But surprisingly…

They’re rarely the most experienced monsters.

⸻

The Enforcer Disciplines

Within the Enforcers are specialised roles.

Each studies a different craft.

⸻

The Scrubbers

The cleaners.

The maintenance crew.

At least…

that’s what they claim.

They obsess over repetition.

One spot.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Until every nerve has forgotten what “normal” feels like.

They don’t improvise.

They simply refuse to stop.

⸻

The Handlers

Every expedition needs someone who understands anatomy.

The Handlers know posture.

Balance.

Leverage.

Instinct.

They somehow know exactly where someone will move before they move.

They’re less interested in overwhelming someone quickly…

…and more interested in making escape impossible.

And tickle torture… painfully slow.

⸻

The Exploiters

Artists.

Scientists.

Collectors of strange instruments.

A feather.

A brush.

A vibrating gadget.

A soft cloth.

To an Exploiter, every object is simply another language the nervous system understands.

Their greatest talent isn’t the tool.

It’s making every tool feel like something entirely different.

⸻

The Overlords

The rarest.

And the most unsettling.

Because they almost never participate.

They watch.

They study.

They smile.

They don’t rush.

They don’t need to.

They orchestrate.

They’ve learned that anticipation is often more powerful than action.

The truly terrifying part?

Every monster in the room watches them for approval.

⸻

The Foot Soldiers

Every field guide deserves a warning.

This is yours.

The Foot Division is considered an elite specialist unit.

They don’t believe feet are merely another target.

To them…

Feet are a delicate banquet.

They understand reflexes.

Balance.

Toes.

Arches.

Instinctive reactions most people don’t even realise they have.

They’re hungry.

Passionate.

And impossibly difficult to escape once they decide they’ve found some soles worth worshiping.

If the reports are accurate…

they consider involuntary toe curling to be a sign of complete tactical success.

⸻

Do Monsters Stay in One Role?

No.

That’s what makes them so dangerous.

A Whisperer becomes a Tactician.

A Tactician trains as an Enforcer.

An Enforcer eventually becomes an Overlord.

And sometimes…

an Overlord decides to pick up a feather again.

Those are the stories survivors whisper about.

Not because they’re the strongest monsters.

But because they’ve mastered every stage of the hunt.

The T-Word Monsters don’t climb a ladder.

They travel in circles.

Every cycle makes them wiser.

Every encounter teaches the hive.

And somewhere…

right now…

I'm a little, I'm a lee. The height of my happiness seems to come from these simple little things. Hold me down and slip off my socks. Brush my hair and tell me I'm a good girl. Tell me word for word exactly what I should say in response to the question you've just asked me... because sometimes I'm too shy to find the words myself. I'm a very sexual person. That does not mean I want you to send me suggestive messages. But I am, a very very sexual person. I don't want to see you naked - but I could sit in arousal for hours every day, just swimming in thoughts... My thoughts are not everyone's idea of sexual. My thoughts are very sexual, to me. Your idea of sexual might be sending your lover a video of yourself masturbating in the bathroom, thinking of them. My idea of sexual is closing my eyes to the sound of a deep strong voice threatening to pleasure and tease every inch of my sensitive soles. My idea of sexual is ropes binding my wrists just that tiny bit too tightly. My idea of sexual is this little piggy, while I'm strapped to your bed, blindfolded, toy inserted, little kisses across my soles and a warning that my ribs will be next. My idea of sexual is "here comes the airplane" while maintaining eye contact with you - because you said I had to - and how cute my blushing cheeks are to you. My idea of sexual is "Here sweetheart, you have to wear this nappy while we go out for dinner... and if you need to pee, you can ask first... and you will not leave the table." My idea of sexual is when you come home and say, "Ohhhh BABY. GIRL. Go get your binky and colouring books, Daddy wants to pleasure your little toes while you colour for me." My idea of sexual is "show Sir where it tingles Bub," instead of "you're so horny." Don't call me hot, sexy... don't tell me my breasts are big and can I send you a naughty picture. My idea of sexual is, "Little girl, take a cute picture of yourself with your favourite stuffie. It's okay to be shy, let me wriggle my fingers under your arms and shy will disappear." My idea of sexual might not be your idea of sexual, but I'm a little lee and that's just the biggest most thrilling part of me. I can't suppress it, or change it, or hide it anymore. I don't think I'm bad naughty, or that having a fetish is taboo. You can't tell me that I'm wrong for the kind of sexual or amount of sexual I create in my world. I am determined to find my happiness, and whatever type, amount, value, or work which that might require that's what I will do. In order to fully embrace the little lee within myself... I won't be satisfied in life without being true to my own desires. I just hope to have the things that make me most happy... without doing anything that is hurtful. Without having to ask and beg for it. Without time limits, without restrictions.
