[danmeichael]

dumbification hypno wouldn't even make sqq ditzy. he'd just make more logically sound decisions while dumbified because he wouldn't be trying to play 4D chess on a checkerboard anymore.

Intro post: Collective Scribblings

So, we're not shameless enough to be horny on main but we are shameless enough to make a blog for it!

We're a plural collective who wanted a space to talk about kinky shit. So we made one. We'll be using titles as sign-offs here instead of names for the sake of anonymity. We're bodily 21 and collectively that age or above. Body is transmasc, and don't bother with our blog if you don't like men. Most of us are nonhuman in some way, so keep in mind that you might see some alterhuman/nonhuman stuff here as well. At the very least, you'll see how it can sometime interact with our kinks. Mod intros might be added as needed.

If the idea of insys sex makes you uncomfortable you won't like it here btw. We might mention that here. Just in case this blog ends up with any actual followers and asks: specify who it's to please, and if it's not to someone in particular specify that. Also, we have no idea how to tag our posts, so feel free to point out any untagged stuff or give us tags to look into.

The Witch: Our local dom. She/her pronouns for the time being, but she is NOT a woman. Fem and masc terms but boundaries may change. Likes the idea of luring people with her sweet demeanor, and then just going feral in bed. idk if that's a fantasy or a kink but whatever.

Titles: Mistress, Master, Witch, Alpha. (Note: "Alpha" in the ABO sense. Not in the toxic masculinity bullshit sense.) Open to suggestions.

The Imposter: The one typing this post. He/him + probably neos because I think it's funny that people hate them so much. I don't know that much about my own preferences yet but I'm probably a bratty as fuck sub-leaning switch. Like sure I'd have fun wrecking someone but I also would be absolutely thrilled to have that turned on me lol. Also yes I'm making an amogus joke with my title. I think I am fucking hilarious for the record.

Titles: idfk lol I'll figure it out later. Open to suggestions.

The Wolf: Dom-leaning switch. He/him. I barely fucking remember what he's into lol. Generally the most masc dude here, probably into petplay both as a dom and sub. Local furry and we all bully (/J) him for it. I think into hypno as a sub. Primal play?? I'm not sure what counts.

Titles: Alpha, (insert affectionate descriptor here) wolf, open to suggestions.

The God: Sub-leaning switch. He/him/comfortable with "she" if ur being silly. Generally just the most sexual of all of us I think. Likes playing into the god thing (reference to his source, "The God" is very literal) as a dom. idfk remember what he likes uniquely from us as a sub and I've been writing this post for too fucking long so he'll finish this.

Titles: Open to suggestions.

The Dragon: Tbh he's not likely to post here but I hope he will it'd be good for him. Takes a human form even in headspace. He/him preference, but any pronouns are okay unless that changes. Vaguely ABO flavored in kinks. I'm putting him on here explicitly because 1. I think he'd do well to loosen up some and 2. I want to see horny as fuck posts written in his formal-ass style. I think it'd be funny. And now if he posts he absolutely has to change this for a better intro >:3

The Cryptid: He/him but likely to play around with pronouns. Wrote my own intro later, I'm surprised no one clocked that I'd be interested. Useless sub with no plans to change, nonhuman and horny about it. Vaguely into petplay and things of similar flavor, I don't remember my own kinks rip. No titles.

General collective likes/things you'll see: Collars, praise, degradation (only gentle and condescending, best paired with praise,) hypno, vague BD/SM themes, various ownership dynamics, intox concepts. Depending on who, both forcefem and forcemasc seem cool we just haven't explored that much. Will update as needed since this isn't an extensive list by any means. Just shoot us an ask if you see smth we should tag.

General collective dislikes (if you're into these you can interact, we're just not into them and won't be posting or interacting with posts about it): CNC, ageplay, inc3st play, watersports/scat, really harsh degredation, raceplay, feet, detrans, mommy/daddy. Will update as needed.

DNI: We don't put a DNI beyond the obvious "minors DNI" and typical "terfs/MAPS/p@do/racist/just don't be a dick" because we don't think it's useful. We'll curate our experience. We do, however, have boundaries. If you have anything against endo systems, or any systems for that matter, fuck all the way off <3 okay. This is a horny blog we're not here to listen to people debate syscourse shit. We're here to talk kink. Also, antiship people can interact but know that due to having fictives in our collective we have very strong opinions about this and we've been told they count as proship to some people. So just. Be aware. And be fucking normal about fictives by the way. We won't be telling you our source.

So!

An anon asked @enscenic to talk to a different community leader than her, and so i thought i should add my two cents about the topic of “inclusivity” (Granted, i am just an Italian community leader, but still, it was a good excuse to write my opinion on the matter)

There has been a bit of a talk about the “inclusivity” of the hypno-community. Let me preface that, living in jolly old Europe, makes not only going to cons, but also keeping a nice connection with the bulk of the community, not the easiest thing in the world. Not only for the cost of taking a plane, and try to explain to immigration that yes, I am going to an hypnosis convention, but even for a matter of being “in the loop”. I went to WEEHU last year, and was kinda sorta surprised of not seeing anyone of the people I knew from tumblr, just to browse fetlife on the last night of the con, and finding out about the absolutely terrible story of abuse by Headcrash. But, on the topic at hand, I do believe that at big events, cliquey behavior can happen. Even at small  ones, for the matter, even if non-intentional. I've seen the point “i go to cons cause I wanna meet with my friends, that I met rarely”, and I do think that is an important point. But it does seem like a “hard to approach group” is forming. To me, it's a matter of perspective (i am sure people hanging out with friends is not a synonim for “we are better than you, so do not talk to us”), and expectation. If you want to indulge in our community just for a second, here on tumblr, or on any other site or chat, you usually see lots and lots of recaps, of thanks, of people having a genuine good time. People tagging other people, and you usually see the same names over and over, and so you instantly see those name as “big”, or “Important”. And you want that, plain and simple. You want to have fun, to have a place where you could express your kink. Cons and events usually give you one (barring some bad experiences, but that's beside the point of this discussion), but they do not give you the same contact that "cliques" experience. When you go to an hypnocon for the first time, you see a lot of people playing around, having inside jokes, and all of that stuff that seems (and i'm sure is) really what's the con all about (and some shenaningans, that are Always fun!). So, the gut reaction is that you, the newbie, are gonna be left out. And maybe yo socialize with other newbies, and start a new clique, and here we go with a snake that bites its own tail. So, you come to see hypnocons as big high school reunion, where the cool kids hang with the cool kids, and other one just go along with the ride. I do believe that that scenario, is far from the truth. It's, ironically, a matter of presenting the con, as what really is, and not what some people think it is. It should be made clear that cons are not a big party where everyone that goes will do amazing things, and be super happy and have a glorious time with some idealized people (for better or worse), they are cons. A place where the experience is subjective. In my experience, that can be hard in kink events, again, I've organized stuff in Italy, and I admit that a lot of people go to kink events just to get a quickie, but that is another can of worms. And another point that I want to express is this: there is a fundamental difference between a newbie, and an hardcore professional. The newbie, has a boundless energy and enthusiasm, and the veteran has a lot of experience. So, the sometimes, the veteran tends to dismiss a newbie, cause after all, it's someone who has to listen and learn, while the newbie just want to do, do, do. Both point needs to be a little bit understanding. Using a metaphor based of comics, you can say you are a fan of the Justice League, even if you have not read a single comic book, just cause you love the film, or the aestethic. But you should listen to someone who has read all of their adventures if you wanna know what is the best Justice League story. In conclusion, nobody owes anybody anything. Just cause you are to your first hypnocon, you shouldn't expect to have the same degree of fun that a veteran has, and all the people at your beck and call to talk, and just cause you are a veteran, you shouldn't forget how hard it can be to talk to anyone, and to sacrifice a little of your time, to just point someone in the right direction. A community leader, is in NO WAY different than a first timer. We all have some fear of the spotlight, and we all have our anxieties. We should work to re-assest out priorities, and to make them more clear to everyone. I do believe that big community spaces, help with socializing a lot. So that is a more practical suggestion.

A little addendum: no, English is not my first language, and Yes, it is very hard to sound coherent while discussing a serious topic.
