#sub circle

[flfverse]

I love reading your worldbuilding posts! It’s so fun to have that extra context for the story. Your recent post about sub-circling got me thinking about the issues trans-oriented subs might run into trying to join something that is designated Strictly For Subs in such a deeply-rooted biological and cultural way. I guess I wanted to poke you for your thoughts on like, HOW ingrained in biology and instincts that kind of thing is, bc I think it’d be kinda fun to examine the particular nuances of that kind of inter- and intrapersonal conflict 🤔 It also got me wondering if there would be any anti-trans orientation movements who see that as like a predatory endangerment to sub spaces? I guess I’m just recreating terfs tho lmao. Er sorry if that’s too heavy or invasive of a topic? You can feel free not to answer that one 😵‍💫

Also not related, but it was such a treat seeing Aizawa in your recent chapter and I love how you write him! I was curious if you were ever thinking about writing an erasermic fic in this verse, since their relationship is so unique for your au! 💓

ahhhh thank you!! i usually dislike worldbuilding bc it feels so overwhelming, but i’m having fun with it here so far

i….actually had not thought about trans rights vs the sub-circle tho, THAT’S a thought. i will say chapter 8 of Free Falling will have a little bit about sub circles in it, and i did include a line where someone asks twice (trans switch, bio dom in this au) if he’s going to stay. twice declines, but the offer is there. HOWEVER, that is the league and not society at large, so in a less trans-accepting space it would probably be different.

i haven’t written about it directly (and probably won’t, tbh? at least, i have no plans to rn, never say never), but i DO imagine there are both run of the mill transphobes and a terf-adjacent group in this ‘verse. hm. like actual terfs they’d probably be very “submissive rights” but be so transphobic that it loops back around to oppression.

i’ve done a fair amount of waffling on how biologically ingrained stuff is, because on the one hand it’s fun if the answer is “very,” but on the other hand, i’m trans and i’m wary of bioessentialism.

so my current stance is that it’s not as biologically ingrained as subspace/domspace itself, but it’s still important for things like social development. think of it as a kid growing up isolated from their peer group for whatever reason. they’re probably going to have trouble connecting with people their own age, they might pick up some strange habits, they’ll likely have gaps in their knowledge like not knowing pop culture. but overall (assuming nothing else bad happened), they’ll be okay, physically and mentally. not to trivialize that experience as i’m sure it’s very difficult, but there’s nothing life-threatening about it. and like i mentioned, a sub circle takes some level of intention; it’s not something you can trip into or be forced into against your will like subspace.

that said, it is Very culturally important. not something enforced, but if you told someone you never had a circle as an adult they’d probably give you a “wtf” look. a lot of the importance comes from the defensive aspect and how dangerous it can be to break a circle up. they’re respected because not respecting them is a good way to get attacked.

so anyway all of this is very long-winded and a bit stream-of-consciousness, but in conclusion i don’t think most people would welcome a trans sub/switch into a circle. like women’s bathrooms, except there’s no cultural expectation of politeness/not rocking the boat (also since when are women’s bathrooms some super culturally important place….but i digress). i feel like a trans sub would also have a lot of internalized Feelings about it even if they were allowed to join bc of all the messaging about how a dom near a sub circle is the Worst Thing Ever.

…..and now i’m thinking that would be fun to write. hm. back burner.

but!! yes!!! very cool questions defo a lot of food for thought. and to answer your last question about erasermic—i definitely want to write about them in this au!! i don’t have any specific ideas at the moment but i do adore their relationship and i very much want to delve into it. since they’ve adopted hitoshi i could also explore what raising a teenager in this world looks like….very fun

I think it’d be really funny if the two new hermits are two guys basically none of us guessed btw. like that would also be rad as hell but more importantly it would be really goddamn funny,

Tenoch Huerta on why the idea that “hard work always reaps its rewards” isn’t true. Talent and hard work alone doesn’t guarantee entry into certain spaces (you’ll always be sidelined even when you’re included), but it will determine your longevity once you force your way in.

GENSHIN IMPACT - FAVORITE TEAM COMPS [3 / ∞]

exploration

[starrierknight]

all that can be heard from the churchyard are his sweet begging moans , 'please, please lord forgive me- '

then when u finally let him cum he sees heaven

he pants and whimpers , 'thankyou~ thank you, god' while looking up at u with tears in his eyes

u are now who he worships

he kneels in your presence <3

( im done now , oyasumi )

he thanks you, and then he begs you to use a harsher hand with him. he's a sinful man, and you are too kind to him. he fears greed, he does not want to disappoint you and be greedy. he doesn't want to cum too much, too fast, too often, because what if that's not what you want. and if he's not obeying you, then does he love you?

he deserves to be punished. make him cry, make his eyes water and cheek sting with a slap, leave your handprint on him—it's proof that you're real, that you've touched him, that you love him. let him revel in your wrath when he disobeys, because a good follower listens to the one they worship.

a good follower should have a raw throat from prayer, no matter if that prayer is screamed, sobbed, or whispered.

Sometimes I see people bag on Botw/Totk about how they aren’t real ‘Zelda’ games. Because they don’t follow the same format repeated since OoT. But when we think about it, OoT was ALSO a change from previous Zelda games. It was insanely different from the 2D games, having mastered linearity and adding a whole new piece to the story— time travel. We saw a sliver of this before but the way it was utilized was brand new.

Ocarina of Time introduced so many iconic moments, lore, and characters that have gone on to affect the series even now. It was DIFFERENT yet similar with its dungeon format.

Now, with BoTW and ToTK, we have a different format— a non-linear game with an open concept world. The dungeons are there but we all know they lack the same feel as the old ones, this was due to choice of developing the world over one-stop dungeons (at least in botw). We got a much more advanced version of these dungeons in ToTK, with more of a long form dungeon crawl that adds a better balance between the development of the world and these dungeons that we do get to go back to if we so choose.

Now, I’m now saying that these dungeons are the same as they used to be. They aren’t! But we have a world that I have not gotten sick of, in either game, despite this Hyrule being seven years old. This large expansive world is unlike ANY of the games.

BoTW & ToTK are transition games— they mark a new era of Zelda games. They have echoes of old games but are venturing into new plots and lore we have not seen. You see, these games are not a copy and paste of the lore and format we have gotten for literal decades. It’s something new, something that requires a transition.

If they had been copy and pasted formats, we would have haters calling it repetitive, a series long overdue for something different, etc. That’s just the way of the world haha

But these games are an exploration into a new era, a new set of lore and stories for us to enjoy. It’s something we can criticize but it isn’t something we can claim isn’t a Zelda game. It is. It’s just new, introducing new plot points and new mechanics. The series will have a plethora of new lore to delve into THANKS to BoTW/ToTK.

I’m excited to see where the story goes. No matter how much I wanted MORE I’m still quite content with what we have. It’s all the more reason to appreciate what we have and be excited for what’s to come.

Anyone want to be this puppy’s valentine 🥺 I can do tricks real good like sit (on your cock) and shake (my ass) and speak (and whine and moan) and I learn really quickly!!!

All you gotta do is scratch behind my ears and tell me how I’m such a good boy for listening and obeying and I’m all heart eyes for you

[mysticmellowlove]

ayo uni do be kicking my ass at the moment but i do have some works in the trunk, have a little sneak peek for waiting so patiently!

Request;

Finally being inside you was pure heaven for him, no more would he have to rut pathetically against you as you slept, revelling in the way that your plush thighs encased his aching dick...

Original;

"Didn't know you were so squirmy pipsqueak." They cooed as they stepped forward, letting their boots create a threatening sound on the basement's cold, harsh floor. Noel's mouth dropped open as a small whimper left him as his situation began to set in.

"Please, don't do this... wasn't I good for you?"

my only submarine hot take is that i think there's something weirdly fascinating about the way that everyone knows they obviously imploded on that first day but there's been this make believe kind of funeral march towards the inevitable minute zero of the oxygen supply. everyone has been obsessing over these imagined people in this imagined space and it's been a totally ineffective conjuration since nobody really believed these people have been trapped on the ocean floor for the best part of four days and yet so many people have been talking and operating in this pretend realm. the Posts aren't about the implosion the posts are all about this imagined dragged out slow death by asphyxiation and i think it's just interesting how this blatantly unreal narrative is what everyone glommed onto as their mode of expression for this event. i can't really think of any other time people so readily leaned into the pretend version of events like this?

[spngirlpolls]

poll idea: spngirls with the best takes -- samgirls vs deangirls vs casgirls. or, alternatively, if you want to stir shit up, spngirls with the WORST takes >:)

“hey op would you like to be assassinated?”

there’s no way to make polls like this where it doesn’t just boil down to anarchy HOWEVER i think we as a collective can agree doesn’t matter if you’re a casgirl, samgirl, deangirl, heller, wincestie, or anything in between: we are superior to the losers on reddit who think this show is about three heterosexual men

I have been stuck in an infinite chat hell loop with Norton's non-existence customer service for the last fifteen minutes, and my slowly devolving boredom and simmering annoyance has me googling misremembered tumblrspeak phrases that the search results that are coming up would probably be concerning if anyone else saw them

All I can think of when I see law carrying his sword is that if he owned a car he 100% would have one of those fuzzy coverings for his steering wheel. Like have you not seen that man's hat either.

KBS Cool FM Lyrics behind stories with Lyricist Jeon Ji-eun EP.O3 —'No Parachute' by ONEW

Jeon Ji-eun discussed how 'No Parachute' came to be. She says that is one of her favorite songs she wrote.

I: The word "fall" doesn't sound like a fall, but it feels like some sort of challenge?

- I wanted to give the impression of going down from an invisible prison to my will, like in a cloud where you can't distinguish between top and bottom and there's no sense of reality.

She also has chosen the chorus (I got no parachute and I'm fallin'/ I duryeoumui kkeut/Myohan tteollim/Hagangui natseon neukkim (Natseon neukkim)/Onmomeuro neukkyeo Dive in/ Sesangeuro Jump jump jump) as the best song lines

‐ [with these lyrics] I wanted to show my determination, be more independent, say 'Now that I need to jump into a new world, let's remember how to feel to own your own body, feel it as a whole

Jeon Ji-eun, just like a lot of lyricists who worked behind 'Circle', mentioned how ONEW sent a personalized message along his album to her. Also said that ONEW is a warm hearted person, very nice

(In this episode she also discusses other songs she worked for too, she worked for NCT DREAM in their latest album)

i feel like there's definitely this pressure online to be obsessed with tumblr or twitters favorite show of the week no matter what and i think as someone who doesnt really engage with a lot of things as theyre coming out, it's a bit easier to see that, and i think it's good to kinda go "am i watching this bc im actually interested in the premise or just bc its the darling show of the month"? and its not a bad thing if it doesnt vibe with you.

i say this as sort of a long winded way of saying that despite the premise feeling like it was tailor made for me in every way that i did not latch on to mp100 the way everyone else in my circle seemed to LOL
