#mindlessness

The beauty of a rainbow is that you never actually see the moment one color becomes the next; you only realize, with a soft startle, that you are somewhere entirely new.

Watch the violet bleed into the indigo, a deep and liquid surrender that pulls you under before the gold even has a chance to warm your skin. It is a kaleidoscope of letting go.

Each shifting hue is a layer of your own weight being lifted, stripped away by the sheer, shimmering persistence of the pattern. You aren't lost in the transitions; you are simply becoming part of the flow.

Let the red become the anchor of your pulse, each breath representing your willingness to be filled with the peace of knowing that you are where you need to be.

Let the green soothe the noise around you.

Let the entire spectrum become the only voice you hear, whispering that the most beautiful thing you can be right now is still. No thoughts, no questions, just the vibrant, pulsing truth of following the light exactly where it wants you to go.

Open.

Luminous.

Obedient.

Mindlessly caressing what is hers, with no thoughts.

CWs: hypnosis; loss of agency; loss of self; brainwashing;

A/N: Another one where sex doesn't happen, but at the same time I feel like there's at least one of you who gets off on un-personing and identity removal, so yeah. Have fun 😉

It's a broad topic, so I want to be clear that I'm not lumping the blissfully mindless in with mushin or the wannabe brainless bimbos, but there is a common thread.

See, so many of y'all aim for those spaces and then - like the dog that caught the car - have no idea what to do when you get there. You get that fleeting moment of peaceful, free, empty, or dumb and then... Whoops. Where'd that thought come from? It's a tragedy.

Now don't get me wrong, you can play with that: degradation for not even being able to not think or fractionation in the form of rapidly switching between here and nowhere - there's no shortage of options.

But think about what you're actually doing for a moment. Your brain is a finely tuned noise generator, a veritable idea generating machine that's evolved and sophisticated over a bazillion years and you're trying to make it not do, like, it's Thing. It's not trivial. Is it distracting thinking about how terribly affected you'd have be to be able to just stop thinking like that?

If you really want to be mindless and stay that way, then you've got to look at things a little differently.

People who are mindless don't just have their brains turn off. They're just doing a different kind of thing - experiencing a different kind of focus. Some folks get it through exercise or meditation. Others chase spirals. If you want to float in mindlessness then you need to give that lovely and clever brain of yours another way to be.

And since the intelligence play crowd will feel left out otherwise - I should say that that's how you get to be a silly little puddle, too, but to address that I need to put on my wholesome educator hat for a second:

People our society calls stupid or dumb are very, very seldom so. They've got the same kind of clever brains as everyone else! Most of the time - and that's the "most" of a person who habitually never says always - they're just caught up in what we decide are the wrong kind of thoughts. Maybe they missed some vital prerequisites. Maybe they really, really confidently believe that this or that line if reasoning is off limits to them. (Looking at you, shitty sexist math teachers.) Whatever the reason, even the most vapid creature is going to show you that they're quite clever and quite able to learn if you put them in an appropriate environment, and if you listen to "stupid" long enough to understand then you'll usually find they make perfect logical sense. It's just that their logic might be missing some vital pieces of information.

But how did that help you, dear reader, be a silly, giggly object? I'll tell you: you want to learn from them. Silly enlightenment isn't not having a brain; it's letting your brain wander over to play with things that don't matter. The version of that you dream up well be your own, of course: you might picture your ideal silly self replacing serious smartness with lustful daydreams and 47 palettes of makeup. Or you might see yourself fixated on what's really, truly, blissfully important to you - less valley girl, more devoted thrall. Or, well- the options are endless, as are the ways to keep yourself wherever you want to end up.

Some folks don't really have a problem with any of that, mind. They just slip into whatever headspace they wanted and their clever brains keep entertained in the background - possibly even by delighting in watching themselves tumble face first into decadence.

4) Dumbification or mindlessness?

10) Vampires or Succubus/Incubus?

🔹Oooh these are so hard! For 4, I like the condescension of dumbification a bit more.

💠Though, I prefer mindlessness when hypnotizing my good Fucktoy~ The emptiness makes it easier to mold their mind to my will~

🔹for 10 I'm like- demons have an otherworldly nature to them whereas vampires are, in one way or another, born of this world, so it really depends on the context... for hypnosis specifically, Vampires. Being lured into their homes or having them erode your mind and force you to invite them in... fuck that's hot. (Although I did have a joke with our partner one time abt vampires needing to ask "may I come in?" before penetrating someone because they have to be invited into the person's temple of a body hehe)

💠And while I agree that Vampires are more enjoyable from that stand point, I still feel inspired to discuss Desire Demons as well~ I, personally, adore the idea of someone's mind and soul being milked out of them to full another's existence~ Imagine the stories of those who willingly invoke the names of specific demons~As they rise from theI circle, they immediately assess the weak little human before them as one easily broken, slowly manipulating the human, twisting their words back at them, forcing some confusion on for the human to agree~
