So the interesting thing about punishment is that for subs, it can actually be very calming. Like, having our Domme grab our hair or face or inflicting some sort of pain on us--or a different kind of punishment, if we're masochists and thus enjoy pain so it can't be used as a punishment--can stop us from spiraling if we're freaking out about something. Which I think is what Louis was doing to Armand in 1x05. Armand wasn't just being disobedient, he was also clearly getting very emotional about the interview. Armand is an obedient sub, so the fact that he disobeyed Louis showed that something was wrong. And Louis, for all that his mental illness was convincing him that suicide was the right answer, still felt protective of Armand. So he wanted to keep Armand from spiraling, which is why he started humiliating him. I suspect humiliation is likely something that can be used as a punishment against Armand, especially the kind that shows that the commanding front he's presenting to the world is entirely under the control of someone else. It shows his vulnerability, something he very much does NOT want, particularly to someone he resents and wants to protect Louis from. So Louis doing that cuts Armand to the core, but for subs, seeing a demonstration of the amount of control our Dommes have over us, whether that be via pain or humiliation or something else, can take us from a place of extreme panic to complete calm. Because our desire to submit is INCREDIBLY powerful. And having a Domme is amazing, because it fulfills that desire. So Armand might have hated that being done to him in the moment, but it likely also took him from a place of panic to a place of calm, which was the point. And it's also probable that he would be grateful for that afterwards, the way most subs feel about our punishments after the fact.

9 Fandom Friends to get to Know Better

I was tagged by @wavesinlowtide! Thank you <3 <3 <3. Sorry it took so long, I tend to flop, lol, but I had fun with this and finding pics/gifs!

3 Ships I Love:

Ian x Mickey - As gay ghetto white trash, it will always come back to these two for me. Add in Ian being bipolar (same girl!) and the fact that Mickey Milkovich has one of the greatest character arcs I've ever seen (which is wild cause the writers never cared about Mickey, which is probably why his arc was so good)? Yeah. It'll always be them.

Matt x Elektra - "It is true that somewhere a woman named Elektra is still alive and a man named Matthew Murdock is happy." - What If? Elektra Had Lived (Vol. 1, No. 35). I love every single version of this ship and every single version of this ship will never not break my heart.

Team x Win - I watched Until We Meet Again three days after my last time making a Real Bad Decision, so I was doing really bad and couldn't even leave my bedroom (the scene of the crime), but then these two came out of fucking nowhere with their 30 minutes of screentime and I fell completely in love. They were a short and sweet break from the heaviness of my mind and from the heaviness of the show. They still have my whole heart.

First Ship Ever:

Most likely Eric/Jack from Boy Meets World. You couldn't and still can't tell me shit about them. But if they don't count since I didn't know about the concept of shipping back then, it would probably be Pacey/Joey from Dawson's Creek.

Last Song I Listened To:

Seasons by Thirty Seconds To Mars

Favorite Childhood Book:

As a wee one, it was probably a Magic Tree House book. But the first book I remember loving was The Long Walk by Stephen King (well, Richard Bachman). I read it for the first time at like 15 and it just broke my heart. It's still my favorite to this day. And 15 is still a child, so I think it counts!

Currently Reading:

Assorted fics. I don't really read books unless I can read it all in one sitting, so that's hard sometimes cause I don't always have five hours to sit uninterrupted. And then sometimes when I do, I just don't wanna read.

Currently Watching:

23.5, Unknown, and 911. And I just found out today Two Worlds already started so I'm gonna start that soon too.

Currently Consuming:

Grape tomatoes.

Currently Craving:

Submerging myself into the ocean, but I just pierced my right industrial on Monday at like 1:30AM, so no fully submerging myself in water, even salt water, for a while. :( :( :(

Without any pressure to do this, I'll tag @chaos0pikachu, @anenbyendorphin, @thelastoftheredhotswamis2, @brazilian-whalien52, and anyone that wants to do this because I love learning about everyone!

Indian period films depict olden day beauty routines with a lot of grace and affection: watching it is seductive because the person is usually enjoying the process. In comparison, Hollywood films tend to project modern-day sensibilities onto these scenes and women are shown barely tolerating the process and having a hard time with corsets etc. That's just wrong; they made their own beauty concoctions, and every article of their clothing was custom tailored by themselves or a local seamstress. They were happy y'all

source on Flint?

The dirt.

Okay, joke answer aside, I'll put the source under the cut...

I'm going to assume that you're likely referring to the fun fact tidbit that I posted yesterday about Flint originally intended to be involved in the Jealous Bass boss fight.

The Cutting Room Floor has an archive of stuff that was cut from Mother 3 but still exists as data within the game. If you scroll down to Flint, you'll see that he has unused sprites for dodging the train, which is an event that happens in chapter 4.

And if you put Flint into your party as the second party member in debug mode then go to the train, he will dodge the train with that sprite animation. Compare that to Claus, who when programmed to be the second party member, does dodge the train like intended (and Boney, as the third party member, does not) but does not display the proper animation for this motion, we can see that while the behavior of jumping out of the way is programmed into the second party member, they only have the proper sprite for the scene if they're supposed to be there. This tells us that Flint was supposed to be involved in Chapter 4, at least up until the train, but was cut late into development. The only thing that stops Flint from jumping out of the way is the fact that he isn't there.

We also have a cut animation of what appears to be Flint clinging onto the airship, which is what Lucas and the rest of his party does at the end of chapter 5. Now, can I say with absolute certainty that this is what this animation is intended for? No, because I wasn't on the development team. But considering how closely that sprite of Flint resembles the rest of the party in that scene:

And how close Chapters 4 and 5 are to each other, as well as how the Spaceworld (1999) Earthbound 64 trailer* (apologies for the blurriness, but TCRF does have a clearer image of this scene on their website) does show Flint, along with Lucas, Claus, Duster, and Boney clinging to an airship, it's easy to deduce that's it's highly likely that Flint was intended to be in the party at least up until the party separation at the end of Chapter 5.

Also, so no one could say that that animation of Flint was actually supposed to be for Chapter 7 when Lucas and company were clinging onto the bird cage, here's a screenshot of that. You can see that if Flint was involved here, his animation would've had him hanging on from the wrong direction (apologies for the Lucas mooning).

[Also as a small aside: while not exactly evidence on its own but something worth pointing out, there is a notable difficulty spike in Chapter 4 when there's only Lucas and Boney in the party. The enemies at this point in the game the can wipe your party quite easily if you're not careful, and I always struggled against them even in the standard mode and I'm sure I'm not the only person who experienced this (while the game tells you not to mess with the Cattlesnakes, there's nothing to stop the Horsantulas and Ostrelephants from running right at you and initiating a battle). Having a heavy hitter in your party like Flint would've made the chimeras outside of Club Titiboo as well as the Jealous Bass easier. Again though, I'm not going to use my experiences as evidence because it could just be that I'm not good at the game.]

So, we have a timeframe that says that Flint was supposed to be in the party from around the beginning of Chapter 4 to at least the end of Chapter 5, which is well within the timeframe that the Jealous Bass boss fight occurs. Now, of course, just because there's evidence that Flint was supposed to be in the party for Chapters 4 and 5 doesn't mean that he would've been involved in the Jealous Bass boss fight with a 100% certainty. Flint could've been rendered incapable of participating in the attic dungeon (and, subsequently, that fight) for one reason or another. Maybe he gets locked in the bathroom while showering? Who knows? While it would've been an odd story direction, I wasn't the one making those sorts of decisions, so I can't say with absolute unshakable faith that he was going to be there. And for that, I apologize. I have changed the wording of that post a bit so it's a bit more ambiguous. There's nothing I can do for versions that have been reblogged unfortunately, but at least the base post reflects that. But there's at least enough evidence to prove that this is likely what was intended to happen.

* While I do not consider Earthbound 64 and Mother 3 the same games, it's undeniable that Earthbound 64 did lay the grounds for the direction that Mother 3 went in. If the only piece of evidence I had for Flint clinging to the airship was from that trailer alone, I would not have used it.
