Will You Follow?
Dylan exhaled happily as her words filled every recess of his mind. Sometimes it was so hard to keep going but, knowing she was there, lulling his weary ramblings with patience, gratitude and love made all the difference.
“And now the gates are open…” Maya whispered. “Will you follow?”
She didn’t have to ask twice.
Gratitude itself can be a source of inspiration. Quotes I stumble upon often do the trick as well. Take the one below, for instance.
Negative thoughts breed negative thoughts and make it hard to pay attention to the good things in life. Often, mind control stories carry within them a bit of “negativity” as well, especially when they involve things like enslavement, dehumanization, and whatnot but one can also approach this universe from an angle of gratitude and sheer bliss, a gateway to the deliverance of minds and release of the fears that haunt them. Loving control is also control. I wrote the piece above to convey just that. Enjoy.
Standing Ground
“No!” Bob declared.
“You don’t get to say ‘no’ to me,” Janice vociferated.
“I just did.”
“I can make you obey me… ” she threatened, the trigger word on the tip of her tongue.
“I know, but you won’t. You don’t want a doormat.”
“Damn right!” She smiled, happily.
He smiled too, and knelt to serve.
Today’s piece may be a work of fiction but it speaks of real issues. Even when there are techniques of mind reform in place, any relationship of Dominance and submission must be based on mutual respect, on accepting each other’s boundaries. A submissive has a duty of obedience to the Dominant, but the Dominant also has a duty of care towards the submissive, in order to help him grow. I wrote “him” because I write about Female Dominance and male submission, but this is true about Male Dominants and female submissives as well.
Being submissive and obedient does not entail being a doormat and letting the Dominant do whatever she/he wants, unless that sort of dynamic has been established from the get-go. Some people yearn for that Total Power Exchange reality, and that is perfectly valid if both individuals want that. Coercion techniques work fairly well in the context of fiction and reading and writing stuff like that can be hot as hell. Our mind is a powerful escape vehicle, imagining certain things can bring about a state of deliverance like no other.
Let’s be clear, though. Coercion is hot in fiction. In reality, it’s more complicated than that. Tricking someone into doing something they don’t want to do, manipulating feelings and emotions in order to break someone apart and then rebuild that person anew can have potentially devastating consequences. Brainwashing is very real, turning a person into shambles through various mind-shattering techniques is also very real, and it can constitute abuse. Abuse is the opposite of a healthy D/s relationship. Abuse is simply abuse, nothing more than that.
Sometimes, saying “no” is needed. Sometimes, saying “no” and making a stand is the only thing that will make sure a relationship stays strong. Like I said, being a doormat and having a submissive be a doormat only works in very specific situations, very specific dynamics. In the majority of them though, remembering to say “no” when it’s needed to do so doesn’t make a person a bad submissive. Standing one’s ground to ensure one’s safety and one’s limits doesn’t make a person a bad submissive. It is as unhealthy to promote abuse as it is to allow oneself to be abused. Always keep that in mind, please.
Ninjas Vs. Pirates
One of life’s greatest debates was finally settled at Vanessa’s costume party.
Lewis had nothing more than an eye-patch, a wooden leg, and an irritating accent to show for.
She, on the other hand, had the arts of misdirection, confusion and influence by her side.
Oh, the skin-tight outfit and the drugged shuriken helped, too.
The inspiration for this one came from a silly remark I made at the Inraptured website, yesterday. There, J.T., the owner of Trancescript, (check it out, will you?) commented that his next blog would finally address the question/theme everyone’s been waiting for… and left everyone hanging in anticipation. My response was “Ninjas versus pirates, huh?” with a wink and everything and he concluded Ninjas win because their “greatest weapons are misdirection, confusion, and influence.” As I thought that was a neat way of looking at things within the scope of the fetish and all, ideas started popping until I found a way to use the notion, but adding my own personal spin to it. I hope you had fun.
Trips
“You’re doing it again, Bianca.”
“What?”
“The guilt trip, trying to make me mad, then pretend you’re upset to control me further.”
“You honestly think me capable of that, Cal?”
“Yes, but please don’t.”
“Another kind of trip then,” she smirked, turning on the strobe light.
He would feel no guilt whatsoever in no time.
One of the ways to control and dictate another person’s behavior is through their emotions. Guilt can be a very powerful tool for that for instance, especially if the person being controlled has a natural tendency to feel guilty about things, even if said perception is irrational from the get-go. I wanted to touch on the subject, but move past it into something more light-hearted and with a bit of the classic flare usually found in fiction. The featured image above provided me the final ingredient I was looking for. I hope you liked it.
