10.28.22- "now they're still, engulfed in their preservation of knowledge, a life preserver strung round the waist. their work tossing them into the depth, a test of will."

welp, here we are in the deep end of the semester. in the middle of my first big production here at university, just about to enter the long technical rehearsals, ironing out the small wrinkles here in there to get our show smoothly running.

so how have i been? well busy is quite the understatement. daily schedules are stacked within the week, classes, meetings, straight into rehearsals, now bleeding into the weekend ever so slightly. now is the time to put the hammer to metal. work hard to loosen a bit of relax room in the coming weeks.

keeping up with this community while juggling work, social life, human needs is tricky, but i think i've cracked a bit of the code for myself. taking time to reflect on the tremendous growth i've seen in not just quality of product, but quality of the community i'm carving. it'd be a fat lie if i told you i kept up with now almost 10,000 of my pups, but i truly read every single dm or comment i get. i think it's the most important aspect of maintaining a social presence, even if it's a bot/spam, i'm still learning and growing as a creator.

i have people always asking me (face-to-face or virtually) how to start their own pages and accounts, and it's something that can't be written out for everyone like it's a universal fitting. i think if you feel the need or want to document and share your passion or love for a specific fetish/kink, simply do it. you don't have to start huge and plaster your face for the world to see, i sure as hell didn't. it's simply just about the attitudes/outcomes you set when initially starting, keep your eyes and feet on the ground of networking and making lifelong buddies, not the vast sky of commercialization/profit.

anyways, i can't express my gratitude to the people that keep up with my day-to-day actions. never in my life did i think it possible that i'd have a tightly-knit textile of affectionate people showing me acceptance and love, literally paying the bills. growing up it was known since i can remember that in my family i did not have a place as a queer person. thus since the day i truly realized the almost privilege it is to be an outcast in society. the word normal to me is an insult- a mockery and smoothing of the human psyche. it's so beautiful the infinite spaces we as humans have with expression. so knowing there's a fucking huge sexy community of people who have the same passions as me is mind-melting.

i want my world to be immediately recognizable, striking the emotion of creative acceptance; a renaissance of expressing human lust, if you will.

so hopefully, in given time, the world of basil gray will size up and fit a nice pair of socks well. and i hope you all are there to help.

stay sexy, stay kinky, and stay safe.

06.08.22- "there they are, in a dizzying whirlwind of deja vu, blinded by ever so picturesque foresight, a growing family leading the way..."

yuuuuup, it's just about time to return to school. if y'all didn't know, i'm a sophomore in university, pursuing a bachelor's degree. graduating high school after the first big wave of covid, the digital world flushed me out with a growing passion for technical production and a hormone-driving love for footwear.

so taking after the many creators from tumblr, reddit, and even youtube, i wanted to step up to the plate and show what i got, and to say it's been an adventure is quite the underestimation. not only within this special community have i found a treasure trove of personalities and stories to network and learn, but an entire way of life, aided by a tightly woven family of dom/sub hauses, to level the reasoning.

growing up taught me that money is a special privilege in whatever world you live in, and was scared of it turning 18. so immediately taking out 30k in loans for school was quite the sink-or-swim moment.

but that all changed once i started showing who i am, what i find sexy, in hopes of finding some friends with similar fetishes and kinks, ever so slightly exploring the world of findom, mirroring their poses privately, learning to hold my body the way i feel confident and dominant. once my content was up, it was just building a gallery of photos and videos from there, while also building a public persona in a world of goliath's. slowly but surely though, my life partly revolves around meeting hundreds if not thousands of queer people, all in the same place i was a few years ago.

so now, going on 1 year in the fetish/kink public eye, all i gotta say is, what's next? this year has been so incredibly transformative for me both online and off, physically, and emotionally; to put it simply, i feel though as if i'm a new person. so shedding the previous year just in time for the new academic year, whatever immensely positive wavelength i'm on writing this, i'm latching onto, hoping to stay on it, mind and body strong.

i got just about 6 thousand sexy ass mf'ers around me as a family, a nice percent supporting me financially through onlyfans, and now hopefully through this site with used gear and custom photo sets and videos.

this entire journey wouldn't be possible if it weren't for all you. for that, im eternally grateful. every day i wake up and look at my phone, reading comments and dm's praising what for years i couldn't even recognize, is such a blessing to first read. i want to be known for being both that classic rude dom, but synchronously being an overwhelming abundance of acceptance and love, carving out a perfect safe haven in our corner of the internet. so with that being said, get over here and dine up you sexy pup.
