Sorry not the same person who asked the ask you just answered, but the gang rape was never tagged appropriately - it's why I stopped reading the fic entirely. It has really questionable ethics and depicts BDSM as more of an abusive situation rather than what it is. As someone who's been on the scene for nearly 3 decades now, it kind of horrifying to read. Please make sure you're safe when you are in such settings!! Hugs and kisses!

Hi! I just wrote more about that scene here:

I saw it as a gang bang with drugs: Murphy was intentional about his choices going in, they let him go as soon as he communicated his safeword, he took responsibility for his choices, and Hob was there to help him learn after the fact that he can make better choices for himself. That’s how it read to me.

So yeah, FBD is extreme and also fictional and I get that. I don’t, and will never, practice bdsm to that extent. I’m very careful and taking it slow. There are things in the fic that are not recommended in real life, like combining sex and drugs, and I can enjoy those fictional bad choices while steering away from them in real life. I could give more examples—Murphy is really messed up, and I can explore my pain through his experience without following the impulses he did to wreck himself. That’s the point of good fiction, right?

As someone who’s been in a cult, I am very sensitive to power dynamics and there is nothing in FBD (or the server) that pings my power and control sensitivity. Like, it’s very, very choiceful. That’s what I took from it. The message I got is not that it’s fine to permanently mark someone in bdsm (ykinmkato), but that you have to have limits and say no and ask for what you want. And the right person will require that, not fight it. I’m sorry you don’t see that, but I’m glad you stopped reading when you had to. That’s kind of the point. Curate your own experience but you know, also don’t kink-shame.

Check it out lector, its an echo!

TC: ... I... what????

TBB,FBD: Peer at me once.

Peer at me twice.

Peer at me as I did to the various creatures in this world. Peer at me as if I am a caged animal, for that is the closest to what I am in this moment. In every moment.

I wonder every day. What did I do to deserve this? Was I too attached to the plants? Or perhaps trying to save a world too far gone? No matter what, the question will always linger. One I thought of before, currently, and always will.

How can I change things?

Blasphemy.

All was for naught, for fate already has a plan for me, for you, and every creature roaming throughout the cycle itself.

[centrally-unplanned]

Poor FbD - I appreciate a detailed takedown of prose (in this case a WaPo piece about Dimes Square culture) as much as any writer but I think you got a bit too caught up in your own arguments on this one. Spending multiple paragraphs on:

Giving intellectual heft to flaky subjects has been a familiar if smooth trick for roughly two decades

And how "familiar if smooth" have no sensible connection? I know you know, if asked what the phrase "smooth criminal" means, that you could generate it; you just were too busy writing to ask it. The "smooth" here means fraudulently so, the smoothness of a conman using presentation to hide deception. You know this because its followed by the word "trick". "Familiar if smooth" means that the trick - writing high-brow takes about pedestrian pop culture topics - is commonplace, but maybe shouldn't be as its lacking in truth. This is a fine sentence! Not ideal if you ask me, like yeah the "if" implies you are going to get opposing adjectives, and familiar/smooth don't directly do that? But the vibe of opposition is there, and language is certainly flexible enough to accommodate a lukewarm contrast. I would have said "overly smooth" myself if I was dead set on this.

He is 100% right about this part though:

And it’s long been trendy in pop-intellectualism to reframe the villain as the hero, a framework in everything from the musical (and forthcoming film) “Wicked” to “Breaking Bad.”

Breaking Bad?? You put that in the same sentence as Wicked?? My dear you have the internet, just google stories with Villain Turned Hero and pluck someone from the list. If you can't distinguish Adaptational Sympathy from a Villain Protagonist you have much deeper problems than your example choices.

Personal stuff (feel free to ignore)

Two weeks ago was the 3rd anniversary of losing mom, and admittedly I've been rather down for the past few weeks. I can't believe that so much time has passed, and that it still feels like yesterday. I started thinking a lot about those days when she was on hospice care when I lay in bed at night and the moments when it was clear that she was slipping away. There was the moment when I asked her who I was and she didn't recognize me. The moment when she lost the ability to swallow and I had to clean what she tried to eat for breakfast out of her mouth. I remember when the nurses explained that what I thought was sweat was her body forcing all of it's fluid out through the skin which was a clear sign that she might have only a week or two left. And watching my father holding her hand, sleeping in a chair next to her bed and telling her that it was okay to go.

There were so many wonderful things for my family after we lost Mom. My niece was awarded her PhD in psychology and is well on her way to making a name for herself in her field. My nephew graduated college and is starting to build his own career. My niece got married last October and yesterday she came over to tell us that she and her husband are now expecting their first child. There have been so many things that would have filled Mom with so much joy because there was nothing she loved more than her family. She would already be starting work on knitting a blanket for my niece's baby. When my niece told us, I started crying because all I can think about is how Mom was robbed of this. That her child will never know her great-grandmother and what an amazing person she was.

Mom wasn't just my parent, but one of my very best friends. We did so much together. I took her to see Adam Lambert in concert because we both loved him. We did Civil war reenacting with my dad and I remember the blue dress that she always wore for the first event of the season that ended up in every picture, which we called the FBD (fucking blue dress). I would take her to the Renaissance Faire with me, and dress her up in my spare corset and wench gear. She would read my fanfiction, offering suggestions and edits. We had so many wonderful, funny, amazing moments together and now it's all over. I can't begin to count the number of times when even now, my instinct is to call her from the office and just see how her day was going.

I've been crying a lot lately. A lot of people that have been through a similar loss warned that the pain will never entirely go away. It's long enough that the wound on my heart is now a scar, but it still hurt. I want to reach the point where the memories are bittersweet and not just painful. I want to think of her as she was in life and not those last moments when I lost her. It just hurts that life is going on and she is not a part of it beyond being a memory. It's not fair and I hate that she was taken away from me. It doesn't matter that I'm a woman in her 50s who had my own life. There are still those moments that I just wanted my Mom.

Thanks for listening. It's been a rough few weeks.

A WIP GAME

I was tagged by @itsmnee thank you💕

Rules: post the names of all the wips in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it. And then tag as many people as you have wips.

Ok to be honest I use boring code names for my documents bc I write on my work computer so they're all named "notes [x]" with the x being different letters. Sometimes the letters spell out the title or silly wip name bc I ran out of letters a while ago lol. So below i've just typed out what the documents are saved as. I'm pretty good at moving things to my "abandoned" folder though so I'll only add the ones I have hope of posting at some point or at least continue writing on at some point.

1. Notes FBD

2. Notes PC

3. Notes T

4. Notes LW

5. Notes PF

6. Notes Q

How to Select the Most Reputable Distributor of Pharmaceutical Instruments

Choosing the right supplier of pharmaceutical instruments is important if you want to get high-quality tools and supplies. When choosing a provider of pharmaceutical instruments, keep the following things in mind:

Quality

When picking a provider of pharmaceutical instruments, quality needs to come first. Seek out vendors who use tools and materials from reliable producers and adhere to tight quality control standards.

Product Rang

Check the supplier's product line to see if it has a wide range of tools and supplies that meet your needs. The provider should give you a wide range of items that are important to your field of study, testing, production, and processing.

Cost

Cost is usually taken into account when buying supplies and equipment. Find a provider who offers reasonable prices without sacrificing quality.

Reputation

Choose a provider with a solid standing in the sector. Consider checking customer reviews or asking for referrals from coworkers.

Compliance

Make sure that the provider complies with legal criteria and follows accepted practices.

The company VJ Instruments sells scientific equipment, with a focus on pharmacy and preclinical research. VJ Instruments sells pharmaceutical instruments of the highest quality and best value that meet the needs of the industry today and around the world. VJ Instruments has a wide range of products, such as R&D equipment, transdermal patch machines, behavior instruments, clinical instruments, animal behavior mazes, and much more.

VJ Instruments offers a variety of top-notch goods that meet quality requirements and are "easy to use." A group of experts with extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical sector and an understanding of its unique requirements runs VJ Instruments. The business consistently engages in-process testing, software development, and R&D, which aids in their comprehension of current market trends, technological improvements, and client needs.

Here are a few tools that VJ instruments provide for use in medicine.

Plethysmometer

A plethysmometer analyses swelling and inflammation to determine the volume changes in a rat's paw. It monitors the tiny variations in volume induced by the movement of the water when a rat's paw is put in. When measuring minute volume changes, the digital water plethysmometer is a highly helpful instrument. It is used to track the development of the inflammatory response in mice that have been artificially produced during research. A plethysmometer is also used to check for a drug's possible ability to reduce swelling or inflammation.

The VJ Instruments Plethysmometer consists of a U-shaped, water-filled glass chamber into which a rat's paw is dipped. A camera is mounted to the unit's opposite side. With the aid of the VJ Instruments

Plethysmometer and video analysis software, edema is properly measured.

  Fluid bed dryer (FBD)

An fbd (fluid bed dryer) is a pharmaceutical device used to decrease the moisture content of food, pharmaceutical items, chemical powders, and granules.

The FBD (fluid bed dryer) operates simply. Ambient air is pulled in through a filter, and the air is moved across the heating components by a blower. Through the perforated plate and into the removable drying container, the blower propels warm air. The air is forced upward, dispersing the solid particles and keeping them apart. By doing this, caking and stickiness are reduced. The heated stream of air from the fluid bed dryer (fbd) removes moisture from the particles and then escapes via the filter bag in the lid. The finished item is dry and liquid-free.

The VJ Instruments fbd fluid bed dryer is used in quality control, sample preparation, and research and development. It allows medicinal bulk materials to dry slowly without localized overheating. Coarse, fine, crystalline, fibrous, or leafy materials are all acceptable. The fbd fluid bed dryer guarantees quick drying, complete loosening, and thorough mixing of the final product. The interval action improves the mixing of the fluidized bed. The temperature, drying time, and air volume may all be continually changed using PLC and HMI.

 Ball mill machine

A ball mill machine is a type of grinder used in the production processes of ceramics, paints, pyrotechnics, and selective laser sintering, as well as for grinding or combining materials. A ball mill machine is excellent for grinding crystalline material and mixing dry and moist materials. It functions according to the effect and attrition concepts. As the balls fall from near the top of the shell, the size of the goods is decreased by impact. The small and average capacity of a ball mill machine is used for the final grinding of drugs or grinding suspensions. Before producing pharmaceutical compounds, ores are milled in ball mills with the largest capacities.

The VJ Instruments ball mill machine has a button to stop it in case of an emergency, a feature that stops it automatically when the processing time is up, and many other important features that are listed on the website VJ Instruments.com. The VJ Instruments ball mill machine has various benefits over competing systems. The cost of installation and the grinding medium is low, the capacity and fineness can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter of the ball, it is suitable for both batch and continuous operation, and it is applicable for materials of all degrees of hardness.

With an emphasis on pharmacy and preclinical research, VJ Instruments provides scientific equipment. VJ Instruments offers devices that are easy to use and uphold top-notch standards. VJ Instruments provides R&D equipment, transdermal patch machines, behavior instruments, clinical instruments, and mazes for studying animal behavior. To learn more about the fluid bed dryer, ball mill machine, plethysmometer, and other devices, go to the website VJ Instruments.com.

[tryan-a-bex]

just wondering why are you so obsessed with fuckboi dream? i remember you handing me a long list of triggers when you'd offered to beta for me way back (completely valid) and fuckboi dream is like a minefield of untagged triggers like gang rape etc so the extreme switch seems a little worrying. hope youre doing well either way

Hi! This is actually an excellent question! Thank you for asking! (For anyone who is curious, we are talking about Fuckboi Dream Was Forced To Experience The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Alive And All He Got Was This Stupid Husband (by Fall Out Boy) by @dancinbutterfly .)

When I started reading fanfic I had a bunch of unaddressed stuff and I wasn’t sure how it was going to affect me. In most stories I could just read on and deal with it, but for beta reading I have to concentrate on it so I’m still more careful when beta reading.

So as things went on, what happened was that I was not affected by some of the things I thought would be triggering, and I was bothered by the seemingly harmless domestic scenes. The only scene in FBD that has caught me off guard was one where Hob buys jewelry for Murphy. Dishwashing was an issue in a fic. People don’t tag for these things. I avoided pregnancy fics for a while. (See, also, if something bugs me a bit, I can read it anyway and get used to it, and then it bothers me less in real life too. It’s great for exposure therapy, but the warning helps. This is why I can read Corinthian fics now—practice.)

And what I realized was that the issue for me is not what is going on, but whether there is clear consent (or at least a clear recognition that it’s not consensual, as in some of @mallory-x’s excellent bdsm fics). Fuckboi Dream is one of the best fics I’ve read for bdsm protocol—it’s showing that past issues like gang rape can be healed through very consensual relationship but it doesn’t have to be vanilla.

See, even my vanilla relationships had lots of non-consensual stuff. Assumptions, expectations, and just plain differences of opinion that ended up harming me. Generally not violent, just every day stuff. Through FBD and Dancing with the Brutes by @lostelfwriting I learned that I can have what I want in a relationship and it can be consensual and it can be rough and that’s okay.

So I struggled with the questions that raised for months. Then I started researching. Then I joined the local bdsm community. After being too scared to date for a dozen years, now I’m coming up on my one year anniversary with my new partner who understands consent and gives me what I want. I can say yes to flogging and no to dishwashing, if I want (and I do). I have a lot of new kinky friends. I don’t have to worry about them being creepy because they understand consent. The community understands consent, so as long as I can say no (that’s my job) or safeword, people will jump in to help me if I need it (and I’ve done it for others). (You have to be able to say no. My belief is that you are not ready for any relationship if you can’t give and take a clear no. But especially a bdsm relationship.)

Knock on effects continue. Once I had a partner, I was able to find a therapist too. After getting my autistic knuckles rapped one time too many in another server, I found a home with the lovely people in the FBD server, where the rules are transparent and not difficult to follow and the conversation doesn’t run too fast for me to follow, and many of us have disabilities and histories so our stories don’t shock each other.

So, yeah. Absolutely, don’t go blind into FBD. The gang rape was probably initially tagged but there’s a tag limit so the list has been edited. (And in that situation, it didn’t bother me because Murphy considered it kinda consensual—he got into it on purpose— it was his friends who were horrified because he struggled to get out of it—the whole point of the story is that he deserves better and he can have rough without losing consent.) Beyond all the bad stuff which happened to Murphy and Desire, it’s a story about getting hurt searching for love, and then healing with the help of friends (at least the first 22 chapters). I needed that, and it changed my life.

i refuse to believe he isn’t an angel just look at him

hes a whole ass cutie

[datleggy]

Idea: For hitmen tuning on each other and everyone thinking Buck’s dead, I have this scene where everyone is so desolate about “Buck” being dead no one notices when he comes in for work. He actually gets all the way ready in his uniform before he heads upstairs. He casually greets everyone and goes to make himself some breakfast when he notices how deathly quiet everyone is being. He turns to ask what’s wrong but Eddie faints, Chim is speechless, Bobby goes hysterical, and Hen pokes him.

bobby, sobbing, while the rest of the team stare in shock @buck:
