Happy 15th anniversary of what is technically Vriska Serket's first on-panel appearance.
My favorite part about Touhou is that you'll go 'oh hahaha funny bunny girl in Touhou 8' and then you'll read the wiki page and it's like 'Reisen is a disgraced war veteran who deserted her comrades in the Lunar Defense Corps sometime during the Lunar-Apollo War of 1969'
And this is who their talking about
I bet it feels good as fuuuuck to slightly draw your sword with all the other knights in anger when a treacherous knave shows their face in the court
Wiring that huge essay didnt make me less horny sadly.
Why NOT
siiigh some things are beyond our control
there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well
and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it
*Not Actually Every Type.
Something I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on lol. This is entirely just riffing off of the many 'kinds' or 'tropes' in mecha design I found. Feel free to suggest more of them.
Might make a document providing examples for each one, but idk. I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory.
Tell me your favourites below
[Update: Here's the sequel to this chart, cataloguing Kaiju instead!]
We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.
A lineup of some various types of PsychoDoll that exist within (and can be played as!) In Dream Soldier PSYCHODRIVER!
Will post individuals with their descriptions in the image descriptions!
These are not ALL of the kinds of Dolls in PSYCHODRIVER, but these are a bunch of them! If you are interested in keeping up with some updates on PSYCHODRIVER, its art, and its rules, consider joining my patreon where I post in the discord about it from time to time!
I want to share something someone told me when I first started out as a dom because it was kind of a lightbulb moment for me as an emotional sadist. At the time I was doing aftercare but I didn't understand what psychologically recovering from a scene really meant. Then someone put it into dom terms and it just sort of clicked. So I thought I'd share in case anyone else needs to hear it.
As a degrader and a sadist it's so hot that some subs will be as pathetic as you want them to be... so don't fuck around with their emotions outside of that, that sub is already literally playing with and altering their emotions for your benefit and pleasure. You're overstressing the emotion muscle if you do and rest is essential to any healthy exercise.
You're not giving their feelings any time to rest and recover if you cause emotional distress outside of playtime and you're not giving them the safety and security to play with their emotions again. If you consistently play with humiliation, degradation, or other forms of psychological sadism, you need to be aware of this and plan accordingly.
Avoid big talks or heavy topics immediately after, and do things that will lift your partner's mood in the days following an intense scene even if their mood doesn't need a lift. While you can't see it, by doing that, you've essentially put an emotional ice pack on a sore muscle.
For physical injuries lift the area affected so it can circulate and heal better. For emotional ones it's the same process, lift their mood so positive feelings can circulate and help the recovery along.
Thought about getting collared for a little too long and I yearned so hard I got misty eyed
…that’s like, a totally normal thing for Independents to do right? Right??
