New Year, New Thresholds

I am writing from the liminal space between the solar and lunar new year—a quiet six-week window of reflection and incubation that has me taking stock of what the past year revealed and what I want to carry forward with intention into 2026, the Year of the Horse. 2025, the Year of the Snake, was a mirror year for me, reflecting back the habits and patterns that no longer serve. From that space, I’ve gathered the takeaways and ways of being I now want to manifest in the year ahead.

  • I want to leave as many subs as possible better than I found them. I want them to leave my dungeon with a sense of ease, feeling renewed, feeling like they know themselves better than when they walked in or they discovered a part of themselves that they’ve never seen before. I want my subs to leave with a sense of pride of how much they were able to take, how far they were able to push themselves, and a sense of gratitude for the discipline and openness of their own submission

  • I am no longer entertaining sessions that run on compulsion or urgency without addressing it before the session starts. Often, I encounter subs who request immediacy or disappear into a shame spiral, and I want to work together to investigate the source of that shame.

  • I must engage creatively outside of the dungeon to feel engaged in the dungeon. Learning and curiosity have always been cornerstones of my identity, and I always want to bring a full cup to my sessions.

  • More holes in 2026! Whimsically, I’d love to do experiments with what kind of objects I’m putting into butts this year

  • More feminization in 2026—as I’ve grown deeper into my femininity, so have certain subs. I want full and complete transformations both in and out of the dungeon. Let’s do your makeup, then get matching pedicures, shop for a new wardrobe, wigs, and then have a girls’ night on the town~

  • Raising my rates! This is an official announcement that I will be raising my rates by $100/hr starting June 13th, 2026 to celebrate a DECADE as Empress Wu! I highly recommend booking with me now to get in at my current rates:

What are your past year takeaways or current year manifestations, kinky or otherwise? I always love reading about how others are growing/changing/evolving~

Hope to see you soon in the dungeon (and beyond).
