dark dreams

1. Respect the fact that not everyone wants to talk.

There are a wide variety of reasons why people feel like talking or not talking privately and most of them are not any judgement on you. Maybe they are too tired to talk, have personal things going on in their life currently, are in a relationship where they don’t feel comfortable talking with strangers, are already in a number of conversations currently and don’t have the mental bandwidth to add more, or are just not interested in talking to anyone new.

2. If someone does decide to talk to you please treat them as actual human beings.

No matter how dirty or sexual their posts or reblogs may be that isn’t necessarily or usually how they want strangers to start a conversation off with them. Nobody here exists only for your sexual gratification. Most people prefer to at least get to know a person for a little while until they feel comfortable diving into more sexual topics. This doesn’t have to take days but at least spending some time to introduce yourself and treat them with respect is needed. Nobody submits or dominates someone from the first message, how can they? They don’t even know you.

3. It’s ok for conversations to not go places.

Everyone has different interests and chemistry and even conversations that start friendly might run into roadblocks if that chemistry fails to continue or manifest. Or the other persons life or mental health might not all for them to keep talking. Don’t take it personally and absolutely don’t send nasty messages to someone even if you feel rejected.

4. If someone engages with you sexually or sends you photos or videos. Guard that content with your life.

If someone decides to trust you with sexual conversations or sends you sexual content of yourself. That should all remain in the chat and never leave the chat for any reason. That is meant for you and only you while you both hand a friendly or romantic relationship. It’s not for you to share, post, or even save outside of the conversation unless you have gotten consent to save it. Once your relationship with that person ends its ethical for you to delete any content they gave you out of respect. It’s also important to remember that revenge porn is also illegal in many areas (recently heard a story about a guy who has to work three jobs just keep up with his payments to his victim after being charged with revenge porn) if you need any extra motivation not to share.

5. Respect people’s gender and sexual preferences.

If someone states on their profile that they do not want to interact or be contacted by someone of a particular gender or sexuality please respect that. They made that clear for a reason so be respectful of their preferences.

Kink is political.

The right to express yourself is political.

Women's liberation is political.

Voluntary, consensual sexual engagements are political.

The right to choose your spouse and partner is political.

Pornography is political.

Sexuality, and your right to express it, are political.

Gender is maybe the most political thing on earth.

All of the above are things that people can (and have been) murdered and beaten for, either directly by the state (state executions, government police force) or indirectly (mobs empowered and emboldened by media and national rhetoric).

If something determines whether you live or die, based on ideology and power, that thing, my friend, is political.

What you probably mean to say is "your political posts are making me uncomfortable and I don't like it when I'm confronted with how my political and ideological decisions could be harmful".

In which case, your annoyance is not by accident, comrade.

It all starts out quite normally. A nice, regular chat, with friendly banter, and a few comments about how good you are being by answering my questions and talking to me. That praise feels very reassuring, making it so much easier for you to relax, letting yourself feel more and more calm with each moment that we spend talking.

As we continue chatting, though, my compliments become more and more frequent. Calling you a good toy each time you answer a question, conditioning you to feel so incredibly accomplished by simply following my words. And with each passing remark, your mind becomes more and more fuzzy, every thought slowly replaced by the overwhelming need to be praised.

Eventually, it becomes all that you can think about. A chorus of "great job!" and "good sub", desperately bouncing around in your head, shattering your mind to pieces. It feels so good to be praised, to be reminded of how amazing you are when you obey, dropping deep into trance as my warm words echo in your pretty little head.

It's been a while, hasn't it! I'm a very irregular poster, aren't I? Obligatory content warning for hypnotic language, just in case! Be careful with your brain!

You know, hypnosis is such a varied thing! It has so many forms you can't really count them all, and let's face it, a lot of us are better at counting down than up anyway~ but that aside! It's a new year! I'm late, but it is! And there's a whole concept of new year, new you!

So why not try a few things? I certainly will!

I get really embarrassed about how hot I find certain ideas I usually find dumb, so I'll volunteer a few!

I like body parts! All of them, really! Anything can be hypnotic if you swirl~ or sway~ or shake~ or flutter~ it enough!

I like the idea of falling helplessly for silly cliches! Pretty watches and pretty crystals and pretty spirals~ things that swing and swirl and capture all your attention as they go~ things that are so automatically associated with hypnosis that you know it's silly, so silly! But just can't help it as you stare and sink!

I like scenarios, too! That's harder beyond a fantasy, but sometimes it's nice to be a maid~ or a dancer~ or a pet~ and on the other side, sometimes you have a specific idea of what you want to fall to! It could be something supernatural, or something ordinary. Something gentle or something mean. Anything! A stage magician~ or a succubus~ or a kitsune~ or bully~ or anything!

The important thing is, don't hold back! Be safe, but never be ashamed to explore things you like, or think you might like! Even if it's silly!
