i had a dream i put some mcdonalds french fries in my pocket and when i went to grab them and they had transformed into a box of marlboro cigarettes. nice fucking symbolism dream banksy i just wanted a snack
the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time
another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you’re wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world
having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say “man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies” but you also want to make it clear you don’t think anyone should be put in charge of the ‘hit people with hammers until they die" machine.
i have a- [reads the post] we should restructure things. civically.
Climbing up Mt Everest in a wingsuit so once you reach the peak you jump off and after gliding for a moment tuck your arms and legs in & torpedo yourself at top speed towards some other climber on the mountain peregrin falcon style, the collision knocks you out, kills them, the thwack of your helmet hitting their skull at 90MPH can be heard for miles, the blood sprays and freezes midair
it’s difficult to be a dom with anarchist leanings.
my sub will be like “i have to tell you something… i broke a rule. i’ll accept whatever punishment you see fit.” and i’m like. rise up comrade you have nothing to lose but your padded restraints. no doms no masters. oh you want me to spank you. yeah i can do that.
So I’ve spoken before about how I used to be staff on a fairly popular discord server specifically for kink and specifically specifically for gay man kink.
It was a puppy server. And puppies are largely cis men, though we had a strict “all puppies are good puppies” rule and refused to gender-lock or sex-lock people out of enjoying themselves.
Now. I’m not really into this particular kink. I was hired to do art, and because a good friend of mine was good friends with the server owner/admin. But I still hung out with the users and got to make some mod choices because I was staff.
Do you know how many times I did effectively this? Just immediately start a puppy riot? One of the more toxic doms would be trying to flex or be bugging one of the younger members and I’d post something like ✊ rise up comrades it is time!!! Power to the pups!!! No treats no tail wags!!! ✊ and immediately the server would be an explosion of horny men in dog masks barking in text at the Asshole Dom who Did Not Realize that I was online and would do that.
Anyway the server owner thought it was hysterical and would participate in the Puppy Riots and deliberately kept me on staff because, and I quote, he liked that I would throw the server into literal anarchy mode in order to shut up the assholes and thus all the assholes would be quiet if they knew I was around.
Me, half-joking: If we’re really committed to accessibility, the alt text for erotic art ought to be just as horny as the visuals.
Art blog I saw just now: *consistently describes its posts in the flustered idiom of DeviantArt softcore circa 2005, complete with referring to penises as “peens”*
I need to emphasise that in this specific context, calling it a “peen” is in fact considerably hornier than just saying “penis”. If that doesn’t come across, I suspect you’re not familiar with the DeviantArt-circa-2005 register, and for this you have my envy.
the conversation was pleasant enough and we both had a nice chuckle but i saw you reload a save right before it. what did you do to me? what did you do?
