#super dominating and aggressive guy and the sub is all weak and scared

heyy🚬 this isn’t a question, it’s me talking about ab the daddy kink ask <3 lol i did it anonymously bc i was feeling cowardice so i’m sticking to it! tbh idk what Prompted it 😭 i think i’ve been reading more fics w daddy kinks recently & i was like hmm. what does cornflowerblue think of this! bc it doesn’t make, like, frequent appearances in your fics, so i was just wondering how you felt about it! lol i agree it has a time & a place thank u for answering even though it was kinda a silly question <3

heyy bff (why r u smoking here?? this is a smoke free zone) i love answering questions, especially silly ones <3 and i happened to very much enjoy my annual daddy kink check-in lol. also it always makes me giggle when people refer to me as cornflowerblue like that's my government name <3

so, i will say that, in My Youth (trademark), i def was very anti daddy kink because it was just so often used in ways that I did Not vibe with (like the inherent infantilization of one character and also the fact that when they used it w/ Ashton they always made him super dominant and borderline abusive and like :( that is not my man i have never seen that man before in my life). so, like, i think it's a valid question because there's a bit of ~nuance~ to it.

i also tend to not use it in my fics bc 1) while I'm not anti daddy kink, it's def not something that i personally seek out so i don't really have a desire to include it and 2) i know it can be very polarizing and i don't want to potentially make an otherwise very run of the mill fic inaccessible for someone. honestly, i think the only fic I have up right now that really talks about daddy kink is Made in Magnolia?? bc Cal has one. i will say tho, this ask kind of made me want to try my hand at including it in smthn.

i really do, at my core, think that almost any kink (with a few exceptions) can be written well !! and I'm never opposed to trying one out in writing :)

Making this list made me realize something; for as much as the outside of the cage stuff irritated me as a fight fan, we got some amazing fights inside of it. I feel like we were actually spoiled because not every year do you get a year where you basically 20-30 fights that feel like they belong on this list. Even my honorable mentions I had to whittle down. I'm talking about two Michael Bisping fights (Bisping vs Hendo/Silva), Yair Rodriguez vs Alex Caceres, Holly Holm vs Miesha Tate and Danny Roberts vs Mike Perry to name a few. So what fights made the honorable mentions? What was my list for FOTY?

Honorable Mentions:

Cody Garbrandt vs Dominick Cruz, UFC 207

Steve Bosse vs Sean O'Connell, UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs Thompson

Matt Brown vs Donald Cerrone, UFC 206

Derek Brunson vs Robert Whittaker, UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Whittaker

Jon Dodson vs John Lineker; UFC Fight Night: Dodson vs Lineker

10. Stipe Miocic vs Alistair Overeem, UFC 203

We kick off the list with a heavyweight title fight. The heavyweight division had its fair share of stupidity this year but the two title fights we did get surely delivered. Werdum vs Miocic was a great moment but the better moment and the better fight for me was Alistair Overeem vs Stipe Miocic IN Cleveland. 2016 for the most part was a year of chaos and a year defined by champions losing titles, fighters losing in their hometowns and drug tests wrecking things. Miocic was headlining a PPV coming off "chaos" in three of the last four shows. Fighting at home in Cleveland vs a guy who was on a hot streak, this could've been it for Stipe. Instead he survives a scare and then finishes Alistair Overeem with ground and pound during a frenetic fight. There's been some loud and wild crowds this year but this crowd in Cleveland was my favorite to date. If not one of the best fights of the year, the crowd and Miocic's celebration afterwards is one of the best moments of the year.

9. Lando Vannata vs Tony Ferguson, Fight Night: Lineker vs McDonald

Lando wasn't one of the super prospects that people were hyped up but buzz began to build prior to his debut. Unfortunately for him, his debut was against top 3 lightweight Tony Ferguson. What the two created for a fight with no build was a tremendous fight with Lando hurting Ferguson a few times, primarily when Tony Ferguson would make a tactical error and get caught trying something unorthodox. Unfortunately for Vannata, he gassed out going into the second round and Tony Ferguson picked him apart and subbed him in a wild as all hell fight.  It solidified Ferguson as one of the top action fighters in the sport and put Lando on the map as somebody to watch going into 2017.

8. Dominick Cruz vs TJ Dillashaw, Fight Night: Dillashaw vs Cruz

When I originally made the list, I had totally forgotten about this fight. It's one of those weird deals where it was such a great fight but SO much has happened since then that I couldn't even remember it by the time we reached the end of the year. Same with Holm vs Tate which is off my list entirely at this point. Dillashaw had replaced Cruz as the dominant bantamweight king with a gameplan that was essentially the modified Cruz game to add power to the arsenal. Cruz had torn his knee up enough times for fight fans to simply write him off as done. He came back with a vengeance, frazzled Dillashaw early with his timing, footwork and movement before withstanding a late flurry to regain his championship via split decision. It marked the start of a tremendous year for Cruz, even if it finished a touch poorly.

7. Marco Reyes vs Dong Hyun Kim; UFC 199

If this fight had more at stake, it'd be a lot higher on this list. UFC 199 was a show of many amazing fights and it was one of those shows where at the end of the night, you felt like you more than got your money's worth. The fight that stole the show though was the opening fight where Polo Reyes and Dong Hyun Kim just went out there and beat the shit out of each other for fifteen minutes. There was technique from time to time but this was a high cardio high octane slugfest. Kim was dropped, Reyes was dropped, guys were wobbled repeatedly and then in the end, Marco Reyes finished The Maestro in the third round of a brutal show stealing fight. There's not a lot more to be said here; it was an amazing fight that's primarily hurt by the relatively low stakes.

6. Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor; UFC 196

The fight that made Nate a star and set the stage for the rivalry of 2016. It's amazing to think we got here through an injury to Rafael Dos Anjos; the UFC's biggest $$$$ was essentially by accident. Better to be lucky than good, ya know? The fight is an amazing battle of momentum swings, the first real sign of Conor McGregor's weakness vs lengthy fighters and the culmination of the journey for Nate Diaz. Again, more of a "moment" than anything else.  

5. Tyron Woodley vs Stephen Thompson; UFC 205

Fights are so often about momentum swings. The first round it looked like Tyron Woodley was on his way towards mauling Wonderboy on the ground. He busted him up, bloodied him and dominated him with some of the most aggressive ground and pound he's ever landed. In the second and third round, Wonderboy was able to take back the momentum with his crisp striking and Woodley's Woodley-ness.  Then in the fourth round of a fight that Woodley was losing; he came alive and nearly KO'd Wonderboy. Woodley grabbed what looked like one of the tighter guillotines I've ever seen and somehow Wonderboy survived and then Thompson wound up on top dropping ground and pound at rounds end. The fifth round was one of exhaustion for both guys and it felt like Wonderboy was able to eek it out by way of activity. The fight was one of those "nobody really lost" type deals and it fittingly ended as a draw. The rematch should be another fight that's one of the best at the end of the year.

4. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Claudia Gadelha; TUF Finale 23

Claudia Gadelha and Joanna Champion were made for one another. The rivalry, the buzz, the trash talk....it was all absolutely captivating stuff. Then the fight happened and it was far better than anything we could've expected it to be. The best part is how the two fights worked out. In the first fight, it was Joanna who scored early and then fended off Gadelha's takedowns down the stretch. In the rematch, Joanna was fighting off the early momentum from Claudia who came out hot and firing. She dropped Joanna, was able to take her down and frustrate her with dirty boxing and some really violent clinch work. It looked like we MIGHT have a new champion but Claudia simply couldn't keep her foot on the gas. Mainly because Joanna found something that worked on the feet and punished Claudia with it, demanding that she either adapt to it or suffer a jab right hand body kick combo over and over. She couldn't finish Gadelha but she made a statement and left with her title.

3. Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor II; UFC 202

This fight had a lot to live up to. Normally it's impossible for a fight to  live up to the hype presented on it---but this is a different kind of fight. Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz topped their first fight even if the last two rounds were essentially two tired dudes leaning on each other for minutes on end. Conor made adjustments, Nate showcased his style can work on the elites and we had a great fight all around. Hell of a night and a tremendous way to pause what is an amazing rivalry.

2. Doo Ho Choi vs Cub Swanson; UFC 206

The UFC's answer to potentially breaking through in Asia called his shot. After barely breaking a sweat while running through chum and capable veterans at 145 lbs, "The Korean Superboy" challenged quality veteran and perennial top 10 featherweight Cub Swanson to a fight. Cub agreed, the UFC put it together and one of two things were going to happen. Either Choi was going to be coronated as the man to beat at 145 lbs going forward or Cub Swanson was going to turn back the clock and remind us all just how good he is. We got something in the middle and it was an amazing sight to behold. Cub Swanson turned back the clock in  a wild and crazy brawl while Doo Ho Choi showed he was an amazing, flawed, breathtaking talent to watch going forward. It was a war, a dog fight and whatever else you want to call it. At the end of the day, I hope everybody walked away appreciating what we got because fights like those are amazingly rare. One of the best back and forth action fights you'll ever see.

1. Carlos Condit vs Robbie Lawler; UFC 195

If the judges did their job, it's the best fight ever. As it stands, it's one of the greatest fights one of the greatest rounds of all time. Rounds 1-4 featured amazing work from both guys; Condit with body shots that seemed to hurt Lawler and Robbie dropping Condit in the second. In the fourth round, it looked like Condit was a mere five minutes away from leaving as champion. Fifth round Robbie Lawler emerged from the depths of hell and poured his soul out there for five minutes. He retained the title, we all loved the sport and for twenty five minutes, we got an unforgettable show. Godspeed, you two.
