💤   ─  have a pajama day / james and sophia!

🍎 ｡:*• ─ THE WINTER DATE.    // @erstwhles

Elaborate planning. That's where James excelled, though it had been a while since he had the opportunity to do something for Sophia. Things have just been so busy. He had been spending less time at his parents' house, loving the peace of his own place, but hating the emptiness he felt without her presence. Not today though. Today, James thought of everything from the pajamas to the toppings on their hot chocolate. It took some time to find the perfect pajamas, but eventually he found a pajama set with a snowmen doing amusing poses. A nice callback to their time in the cabin last winter. Lucky that they had the matching sets for both of them.

Perhaps he had gone a bit overboard, James had not planned on decorating the place, but what was a pajama day without the appropriate setting? Now, the place looked like Santa Claus' house, minus the elves. After they had changed into the pajamas, he stepped out of the room and gave his best pose. "I wasn't sure if matching was too much, I just couldn't resist." James walked over to her, pressing a soft kiss to her temple. "Although, you're definitely pulling these off more than I am." James looked around the place once more before revealing the itinerary for the day. "So, we have some things planned for today. I scheduled delivery for your favorite lunch and dinner spots. We have a bunch of board games, hot chocolate in the kitchen, and the Hallmark channel ready to play. I'm...I'm really excited for this, thank you for always bringing me joy."

@cardiffsfinest : “i’m fine!! i’m independent!! i don’t need you!!” from owen : ̗̀➛ always sunny starter sentences, accepting.

i can't help but let a frown tug at the corners of my lips. why was it that folks always had such a difficult time working with me ?? suppose there must be some level of insecurity at play, not wanting some hot shot detective to waltz in and mess everything up. but that wasn't the case, never was, honest. i was just here to do my job and assist the best that i could.

hands raise in faux-surrender, palms facing the other. "someone with independence still requires assistance from time to time." i state plainly, tone cool as i hold my ground. it's not like either of us had much of a choice in the matter, we were assigned to work together. "believe you me, the last thing i wanna do is be a bother and get in your way doctor harper." i say honestly, hands lowering and sliding into the pockets of my suit jacket. "like it or not we are gonna be workin' together these next few days. i'd appreciate your cooperation."

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

A reminder to hypnosis subjects and those interested in hypnosis

I've been thinking about this for a while now, especially because I had to explain it to a subject who was new to being hypnotized recently. It's something not often acknowledged in the hypnosis community, at least from what I've seen.

As much as hypnosis is often portrayed as mind control, and as much as I often like to lean into that fantasy that I control my subjects' will and body, you the subject are in control at the end of the day. You are lending control to the hypnotist, and how much you lend is up to you! Many people enjoy the idea of the hypnotist having complete control over them, but it's just that: an idea, a fantasy.

Now, that isn't to say you aren't easier to convince while hypnotized. I like to think about it like being in a really good mood - you're happy to do things you normally wouldn't do, but you're still you, and you won't do anything that you really wouldn't want to do no matter what. Because of that, I always recommend being hypnotized only by those you trust, someone who cares about your well-being. But that means if a hypnotist is making you uncomfortable for whatever reason, you have the power to reject what they're telling you, no matter what they say. They're called "suggestions" for a reason, and hypnotists are more of a guide than someone who controls your every whim.

You might also find that when you're hypnotized, you're still "aware" of what's going on, and it might feel like you can stop it at any time. And that's okay! That usually is a sign that you're being hypnotized, not the other way around. You are in control and you can stop at any time, but the fun of hypnosis is that you won't want to stop listening to the hypnotist's words, their suggestions will feel like there's no harm in following them (provided it's something you're okay with). You're in control, but you're choosing to let go and let the hypnotist guide you into doing things that you might not normally do and you might enjoy.

As I said earlier, I like leaning into the fantasy of controlling my subjects almost completely, but I make sure they're okay with that sort of thing before I ever hypnotize them (and a lot of the time, people are). We talk about our limits and boundaries, what we want out of a session, and I do my best to make sure my subjects feel comfortable and safe around me. Ideally, anyone trying to hypnotize you will do the same! This allows those who really like the idea of handing control to me to do so in a safe space.

Hopefully this helps someone out there, and I hope y'all have a good day. ^w^
