CW: some ethically and morally questionable experiments

This was my palate cleanser after reading another book for uni all day and only barely making progress. I was definitely very entertained with this, so I'd call it a successful cleanse.

Nonetheless, I have MANY questions about this story. Why did they think combining animal and human DNA in their experiments was a good idea? How does the butt speak? Does it have a mouth or is it literally speaking out of its ass? Apparently it has an eye, but where? Does it use its wings to slice the steak and eat it?

I laughed out loud multiple times, some things certainly were even wilder than I had anticipated. I liked Space Raptor Butt Invasion more than this but I'll probably read the subsequent installments as well because judging by the titles, they only become more unhinged.

Once again, if you're slightly intrigued at the Tingleverse, give the books a try. Of course, they are not the pinnacle of literature but they definitely aren't as bad as some would have you believe. This shit is ridiculous but Chuck Tingle is very aware of that fact which makes these stories incredibly entertaining in my opinion.

Hahaha, erotica, even humorous erotica, is definitely not for me, but having Cecil Baldwin narrate took off the edge enough for me to listen through. Definitely a unique author, but I'll stick to his ace-positive work and I'm interested in his more "mainstream" novels.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to Cecil Baldwin, famed voice of Welcome to Night Vale, narrate a truly unique piece of erotic fiction. The story centers on Kirk, a scientific researcher at the forefront of cloning technology. When his team hits a roadblock, they experiment with DNA from various parts of their bodies, mixing it with a bit of animal DNA to stabilize the clones. But when Kirk’s DNA from his brain, butt, and a hawk is combined, the result is a sentient, handsome butt that somehow manages to sweep Kirk off his feet—literally and figuratively.

The concept of a cloned, half-hawk, sentient butt that understands Kirk’s deepest desires is absurd in the most delightful way. The creation of this character had me laughing out loud, especially when the butt, sharing all of Kirk’s knowledge but none of his experiences, expresses a desire to try anal sex. At that point, the story took an unexpected turn that had me grinning from ear to ear.

The sex scenes are explicit, but what sets this story apart is the humor that runs through it. The continuous references to Kirk being pounded by his own sentient (and half-hawk) butt are so ridiculous that you can’t help but smile and laugh. While the erotic elements are certainly prominent, the real joy of the story lies in its sheer audacity and creativity.

What truly resonated with me was the underlying message of self-love. As Chuck Tingle himself notes, “sometimes it’s ok to love yourself. You are so amazing and special in your own unique way.” And what better way to express this idea than by getting intimate with your own sentient butt? It’s a bizarre yet endearing metaphor for embracing who you are, flaws and all.

I owe a special thanks to my friend Kat, who introduced me to this gem of a story. If you’re in the mood for something outlandishly funny, I highly recommend giving this short story a listen, especially if narrated by the ever-talented Cecil Baldwin. It’s a wild, absurd ride that will have you smiling from the first scene to the last.
