Oh Joy Sex Toy – Weighted Blanket Ripley LaCross

Page 1
Ripley LaCross draws in a detailed cartoon-y style with a blue color palette.
“Hey Ripley!” Lavi announces as they lug a cumbersome thick folded blanket in their arms. They have dark, brushed back hair and a well-groomed, albeit lighter, beard. They’re wearing a long skirt that touches just above their flip-flop clad feet, and an open, short-sleeved button down shirt, showing off the hair on their exposed chest and belly. Lavi’s nails are painted blue, they have a medium hoop earing in each ear, as well as beaded bracelets on each wrist. They follow up their greeting to Ripley with a, “Look what I just got!”
Ripley looks over their shoulder at Lavi in surprise, pulling the earpods out of their ears with a pop! They wear glasses, a ball link skater necklace, and an assortment of bracelets and earrings. While the sides are shaved short, their mane of hair flows down the center of their head. Ripley sports a black sleeveless t-shirt, cargo shorts, and thick black boots.
With a resonating WHUMP!, Lavi drops the heavy folded blanket at Ripley’s feet- causing them to bounce into the air.
“Aw heck, a weighted blanket!” Marvels Ripley as they forcefully lift a corner of it off the ground. A caption explains that the blanket is 20lb/9kg of plush fabric and glass beads.
Swooning in delight, Lavi presses a check to his hands in the universal sign of resting one’s face upon a pillow in bed. “Aren’t they just great?” They ask. “I can’t wait to take it to bed and let it CRUSH me into sweet, blissful sleep.”
Giving them a playful elbow nudge, Ripley cheekily suggests, “And maybe a few other things while you’re there, eh? EH?”
Javi looks at Ripley blankly, with a lone “Huh?”
A computer loading wheel rotates about their head as they silently scrutinize their blanket, leaving Ripley to stand there awkwardly.
Through an enormous dotted word balloon, Javi whispers to Ripley in very small text, “…you can do that…?”

“Of course you can, and it’s GREAT!” Enthuses Ripley, gesturing emphatically as Javi wraps the blanket around their shoulders. “While weighted blankets are mostly known for use in Deep Pressure Therapy* and improving sleep quality… I like to also use mine during sexy times.”
Caption: *A therapeutic approach using touch or weight to help relax the nervous system by regulating sensory input.
Looking quite perplexed at the blanket around their shoulders, Javi asks, “Okay but… how? Moving under this thing is like being under water!”
“Exactly!” Chirps Ripley. “It’s like being tied up but you hold the keys to your comfort.” An illustration of an open padlock with key materializes by them, illustrating their point.
An ambiguous nude couple are going to town on each other in a kind of flat doggy position. The fucker (sporting a strap-on harness) pins the fuckee to the ground with the blanket covering their back torso, leaving their head uncovered and ass exposed in the air for action.
Narration: Elbows getting stiff?
The fuckee slips their arms out from under the blanket and stretches them straight ahead.
Narration: No problem!
Mini narration by the arms: Ooh, big stretch~
A different set of fuckers appear, with one person laying on their back with the blanket draped over their front torso and their comrade sitting astride them, butt-to-groin.
Narration: Nose itches?
The laying person sneaks just their hand out enough from under the blanket to scratch at a nostril.
Narration: Go ahead and scratch it, baby!
“Think of it like “Lite” Bondage.” Ripley confidently explains to Javi.
“If you want to call 20lb on your chest “light!”” He laughs.
Narration: And once you settle back down, the heavy beads distribute evenly over your body… Helping you stay still and relaxed.
A third set of fuckers demonstrate how a blanket can be folded up and draped across the torso of a person who is laying on their back on the ground while their companion goes to town eating them out. The reclining person sighs, “Ahhhhhh” in pure contentment and relaxation as their are pinned down by the weighted blanket.

Ripley’s head is drawn slightly more realistically in profile, showing a cross-section into the turning cogs in their mind. Their eyes are closed as the background floods with text chat balloons, each one brimming with noisy information until they are suddenly engulfed by a gray block of quiet emptiness on the far right hand side of the page.
Narration: The regular, everyday soothing aspects of my Weighted Blanket transfers over to playtime, too! Helping with the sensory-seeking needs that come free with my flavor of autism.”
The perspective dramatically pivots, looking down onto Ripley’s bare back. It is difficult to tell if they are pulling themself vertically down a fabric-lined wall that gathers in Ripley’s clenching hands, or if the audience has rotated up overhead and we are looking down at Ripley on all fours from above. Their torso and upper arms are a pale blue with a white energy rolling from their hands down through their shoulders. The noisy, chaotic text chat balloons crowd around their upper body, but lessen and shrink by the time they reach Ripley’s hands.
Narration: Left to their own devices, my arms will sometimes feel charged with electricity. Tense and desperate for something push or pull on. Restraints can help calm that buzzing. But then there’s my chronic pain. Squeezing or clawing too hard can leave my hands hurting for days, unable to hold a pen. And even the most padded of cuffs carry the risk of one wrong tug putting me in a wrist brace for a week.
Back in the regular cartoon-y style, a tiny Javi and Ripley look on at the previous dramatic, disorienting image.
“What a mess.” Says Javi, blanket hanging off of their shoulders like a winter cloak. “How do you even orgasm with all that going on?”
“I kind of, uhhh… don’t.” Ripley states plainly.
The view dramatically pulls in on the two as Ripley throws an arm over Javi’s shoulders and gestures broadly with their free hand as they announce, “But that’s where the WEIGHTED BLANKET comes in!” Javi looks benignly startled.

In the more realistic style, Ripley is shown floating upright, naked in a kind of transparent dark cocoon. Fabric-like folds wrap over their body. They look serene and protected from the swarm of chat text balloons that hover outside their protective barrier.
Narration: Held down, all my worries of hurting myself are pressed out, only leaving room for crushingly blissful sensations. A safe cocoon that leaves no room for racing thoughts or electric limbs. It’s like a firm, yet soft, hug, taking me out of my head. Allowing my to just… feel.”
The mini, cartoon-y duo of Ripley and Javi lay calmly on their backs, completely covered by their own respective weighted blanket- save for their heads and feet that stick out at either end. “Ah…” They both sigh.
Sitting up to fan themself, Javi asks, “But doesn’t it get hot?”
“Sometimes!” Agrees Ripley, also sitting up. “But often all I need is a quick squeeze! Then I can break free and go wild. They also don’t wash easily, so I recommend getting a slipcover.” They add sagely.
“Absolutely, this thing is a hefty responsibility!” Javi nods seriously in agreement.

With a big smile, Javi strokes the blanket on his shoulders and observes, “Well dang, I originally got this for when I’m feeling fidgety. Or when anxiety is keeping me up at night. But I think it’s gonna see a LOT more action than that!”
“Welcome to the Snug Life!” Grins Ripley’s chibi-fied face that floats off to the side.
“I’m gonna go try this out! Right now!” Javi declares, jumping to their feet and causing the blanket to fwump off their shoulders back to the ground.
“Heck yeah!” Ripley cheers, still sitting upright on the ground and properly cocooned in their own blanket.
With a meaty “HNNNNGGGG!!”, Javi dramatically attempts to pull their blanket to the side of the page. Cartoonish sweat drops leap from their brow. They manage to pull the blanket about two feet before stopping and asking Ripley, “…could I get a hand?”
The last image the audience sees is a tiny Ripley and Javi hauling off the blanket together, one at either end.
