People often highlight the fun and exciting aspects of a D/s relationship, like the sex, kink, dominance, and submission dynamics. They boast about how obedient their submissive partner is, and how they handle brattiness by asserting control.

What’s less discussed is the need for support, flexibility, and understanding. Submissives are human, with their own needs and struggles. Some days they may feel strong and capable, while on other days, they may face challenges. There’s no one right way to handle these fluctuations. As Dominants, it’s our duty to adapt, adjust, and help our submissives grow. We will make mistakes, and we won't always get it right, but the problem arises when we stop trying or disregard our partners because they don’t fit an ideal. For me, adjusting, adapting, and compromising doesn’t make me less of a Dom; it shows that I value my sub as more than just a submissive.

I’m fortunate to have a sub who is also the love of my life, and our relationship always comes before the D/s dynamics. Even in a purely D/s relationship, things will always be fluctuating and changing. If you are with a Dom who only cares about what they can get from you and not what they can give, they are not worth your time. You are more than an object; you give more than just your body. You have the right to be treated with respect, value, and appreciation, no matter what you desire in the relationship.

I hope this makes sense.

Dear parents, guardians, and loved ones

please oh please listen to your kid or loved one who is asking for help. Don’t brush them aside don’t be like “it’s on my list”

it’s heartbreaking and you are invaliding them

you are saying they’re not as important

do you know how hard it is to not know what’s going on with your mind

you feel like your crazy

no one is you struggle and fighting for your life

yet you ask for help because what’s happening to you isn’t normal

only for them to say later or no to you?

please understand and get them the help they need

if they die I’m not just talking about su!c!de mental illnesses and stress overtime gets worse and can kill them

it’s on you because you didn’t deem them important enough

you are saving their lives

so please I beg you listen and get them the help they need. And please learn how to their support and learn about their mental illnesses and adapt.

There is a darkness in my words,

a sharpness I can’t always dull.

It comes from swallowing the shards,

chewing on glass to keep others

from stepping and hurting on it,

to shield them from the sting.

But wounds don’t stay hidden forever.

When I speak, the scars surface,

jagged and raw,

and I see it—the fear in their eyes,

not of me,

but of what I’ve endured.

I never meant to make them flinch,

but this is the cost of protection:

to carry the darkness within

and let it spill

when I try to explain the burden.

Still, I wonder—

can I soften the edges,

speak not to frighten

but to heal?

Can I turn this glass into sand,

worn smooth by time,

so the truth remains

but no longer cuts?

Overcome, adapt, improvise.

Last year's poetry

It's still kinda bonkers that these people have been playing Spore by hand with art for over 17 years!

If you haven't heard of Sagan 4 yet, please go check it out. The spirit of what Spore could've been is very much alive in the efforts of those 100+ artists and the 5600+ species they made and are still making. You can find all of it on the Sagan 4 wiki.

Guys, I'm going to be open and vulnerable for a moment. If you don't want to read, then skip <3

July 4th, 2022, I was kicked out of my mother's house. I moved in with my dad but still had to visit my mother every other weekend. My room was a complete DISASTER because of my severe depression. When I lived with my mother, I felt like I could fall apart any moment. Recently, my mother found out herself and her family have to move. This has made me clean my room which has been a strange experience nonetheless. It's taken me a day or two but I'm almost done! (not completely) Cleaning up 10 years of my life has been quite therapeutic. It's almost like I'm taking all the problems and trauma and throwing it away to start fresh. I made this post to maybe inspire people. Although you'll never truly get rid of the trauma you have, it's good to face it head on. I promise you won't regret it. Do art, clean something, talk to someone, write a book. Find a way to face the trauma and grow with it and learn to live with it. Don't let your trauma control you babes. Don't forget that depression takes time <3 drink water, eat something, take a nap, and live. You matter. Hugs and kisses. <3333
