"Mask Off" Initial Thoughts

Okay, after marinating on all of this...

For context, I'm playing as a ruthless evil Durge, and it made sense in my RP to ascend Astarion. At some point well into Act 2, I was unable to persuade Astarion out of ascending. His choice to ascend locked in fairly early for me. Every time I challenged him, it defaulted to him making excuses and insisting that ascending was worthwhile, that I was worrying for nothing. He's naturally eager that I'm Bhaalspawn, and the "don't let him" dialogue felt very out-of-place considering how cold and detached we were becoming (don't ask me why, I'm still wrapping my head around this.)

The ascension was a welcomed change of pace, as was Durge's baptism. But regarding the mask...

Spawn Astarion does clearly read as someone who is deeply wounded and using performance/charm/sexuality as a way to manipulate others- for vengeance, for control, for power, for safety, and eventually with Tav/Durge, for intimacy. I do think he's always had a bloodlust and intense hatred for others that a) cross him and b) that he perceives as lesser than him- this is especially true if you think that his history as a magistrate and slaver (controversial) is canon. His past mistakes and/or problematic viewpoints are no way a justification for his experience of sexual abuse and trafficking, it just intensifies and complicates his recovery and relationship building. It explains why he uses Tav/Durge, but then when his sudden feelings are reciprocated, he can't let go.

I've had limited access to clips of spawn Astarion throughout Act 3, and I have no idea how he reacts to Tav/Durge. I saw some epilogue clips, just barely, and I can't conceive of how we even get to that point, considering how much pain he's in, how much ground we'd need to cover in getting him to that place of near acceptance and peace(-ish). I guess a lot goes down in those 6 months, huh?

I always thought A!A (granted, I love him, I love dark romances and awful villains) was just all of his growth locked in time and space, just completely coming to a grinding halt. I don't think that his progress with Tav/Durge is undone (if that was the case, he wouldn't love you anymore or even understand the purpose of you in his life). He's just raw in his anger, vitriol, using his power(s) to protect him from all of the pain and fear that he experienced. Power, wealth, and violence are what protect him now, not Tav/Durge. He doesn't "need" you, but he still wants to "own" you because he... loves you, sort-of. You're under his skin, and he can't let go, I think. Or maybe he still wants something from you, maybe subjugating you somehow amplifies his power fantasy, especially with someone he seems to control and can tolerate ("you're degrading yourself/he can do that.")

He's always had a power fantasy, he's always loved dom/sub dynamics (hinted at in the game,) and so far, as evil Durge, he's been treating my character well (she also doesn't want to leave, not yet anyway.)

I'm still waiting to finish this first playthrough before I have more conclusive thoughts. Preliminary: he's not masking his anger/his dark triad (lol) as AA, whereas he was desperately trying to as a spawn. He doesn't give a single fuck about how people feel about it once he ascends, it's just him and you and everyone beneath you both as far as he's concerned.

Sorry, lots of thoughts, y'all. I need to play an origin run & a spawn Astarion romance to get the full picture.

Note: for my bby abby @novaresque 💃✨

VOYEURISM

Manjiro Sano, whose past is as misty as his future, never expected he'd be sitting here, a few feet away from you lying on his bed. Legs up in the air, spread apart for him to see your pussy folds squelching around your fingers that was being greedily swallowed up. When you offered something that would make his visit worthwhile, he expected you to either cook him a meal or one of his favorite snacks. You fingering yourself while he watched from the couch, listening to your melodic cacophonous moans while palming his aching shaft still, unfortunately, confined in his black shorts, was not how he thought this would go.

But he wasn’t going to object the offer. No, he would sit there and watch you try and get off on your fingers alone—to which he knew weren’t enough. He has been watching you for days since he booked this room, after all. A cheap motel had its downsides, but if he could watch a pretty woman masterbate, all was well in the world. Watching you try and cum with your fingers, desperately circling your clit through the tiny hole on the wall that was separating you and him. It almost became an obsession for him...

“Shit, M-Mikey...”

Until you decided to lure him in and have the dark-haired man be your audience to what was now a show slowly coming to a ruin because you couldn’t—not when you were hoping to have something else ram your cunt. But luckily for you, Manjiro was ready to volunteer.

BREEDING

Manjiro was at it again. You wished the moment your pregnancy was made known to him, he’d lose or probably lessen his lust for your body and pussy until you gave birth. But no. Not only your boyfriend was adamant in continuously breeding you every night despite already having his baby, he’d do it round after round until the whole mattress was drenched with his cum and your tight hole couldn’t possibly house anymore of his fertile milky semen that was close to running like water out of your spasming cunt. His choked breaths, dilated pupils and heaving toned chest—the sight of Manjiro above you still thrusting his hips albeit slowly, cock’s tip grazing your cervix, to chase after another high burned your retinas. Drool was now dripping down the corners of your mouth, breast rising and falling, trying to steady your breath.

He was a monster in bed and even with your pregnancy close to reaching its second trimester, that alone wasn't gonna stop him from cumming inside you nor halt his appetite for your cunt. You even had an underlying suspicion that the sight your swollen belly provoked that animalistic side of him to come out. Dark eyes as black as his smooth hair and dragon tattoo trained intensely at your pussy taking in his cock each time.

“Gonna fuck another baby into you, babe. F-fuck, gonna give me babies—gonna breed this fucking pussy again and again.”

BONDAGE

What time is it? You wish you knew. But either way, Manjiro didn’t care what the time was or how you had a job in the morning. All he cared about right now was you—all tied up by cotton rope, gagged by your own lace panty that was soaked with your saliva. Legs quivering and bones limp under his expert touches. Glancing at the digital watch, you squinted your tired eyes at the time. Yet, an involuntary moan cut off your concentration, mind zeroing on the euphoric feel of Manjiro’s veiny cock still drilling into your abused cunt.

How could he stop though? It proved to be difficult, especially when you trusted yourself onto his hands. Laying yourself bare, vulnerable and pliant. Manjiro likes it.

When did you both start this? Around eight? Right after dinner, right? You must’ve blacked out in the middle of it after your boyfriend pulled your fourth orgasm. Yet, Manjiro was still at it despite it being close to midnight now. The ropes weren't painful, but they did began to dig into your flesh, marking into. And the last thing you wanted was to go to work and receive questionable looks.

“M-Manjiro, ah... this is the last one—shit, o-okay?”

PRAISE KINK

Bent over, ass up in the air, you were sure you’d be shitting yourself right now if it weren’t for the pleasurable girth stretching your tight weeping hole despite the cold metal of a gun pointing at your head. Soft cries for him to rail you hard, to fuck the cum that his balls were holding into your walls, were met with faint grunts as Manjiro never ceased his hips pistoning against yours. The noise of skin slapping against each other coated the four walls sinfully. His heavy balls smacking the plush of your ass after each thrust. Dark locks over his narrowed eyes swaying in time with his movements.

“M-Manjiro! ‘s big, ah, want you to—want you to cum in me!” Mewling into the sheets, your eyes rolled to the back of your skull. “Baby, f-fuck! So fucking good!”

“Yeah? Who’s making this pussy wet?”

“Y-you.”

“Again? Didn't fuckin’ hear—”

“You, Manjiro! God, only you!”

Manjiro couldn't help but smirk at your words. “That’s right. Such a good whore, you know that right? This tight pussy is so good at its job, I'm feelin’ sorry it's for free.” He muttered, holding back a whimper when your walls abruptly clamped down on his throbbing shaft. “S-shit! You like that baby? Like how I’m prasin’ such a slutty cunt? So good and so tight, might just cum inside, yeah? Want your cunt stuffed for being such a good girl?”

genre: smut, fluff

word count: 2.4k

warnings: femdom, power play, y/n calls him puppy twice, mirror sex, oral, handjob, cum eating, consensual degradation

a/n: this is so nasty omg I am highkey embarrassed for posting this 😳 also it’s my first femdom fic so please be kind 🥺❤️

“I don’t know, babe. I mean, aren’t I supposed to be the dominant one in the relationship? Aren’t I supposed to lead you?”

Xiaojun loved it when you were like that. Arms and legs intertwined into a bundle of your bodies, his head on your chest and your fingers in his hair. Covered by a thick blanket, you chose to stay in one of his t-shirts and your panties to overcompensate for the warmth. The thump of your heartbeat comforted him, the steady sound soothing him from being his typical nervous, jumpy self. And when faced with your question “Would you ever let me dom you?”, he was calm enough to hide his sudden arousal. Or so he thought.

You rolled your eyes at his answer, expecting him to be sceptical but not ready to give it up yet.

“What? Are we in the 50’s or something? We can play around during sex, you know. It doesn’t make you any less of a man.”

You could almost see the gears turning in his head, his thalamus making up images of you bossing him around, using his body for your pleasure. It makes him grow even harder in his shorts, the twitching obvious and pressing against your thigh.

“I mean, haven’t you ever thought that maybe you’re missing out on this great pleasure? Don’t you want to know what it feels like to really let go?”

He gulps at your words, his jaw twitching in search for the right words to say, yet he finds none. His whole body is vibrating with the weight of your suggestion, of the dirty thoughts you’ve so skillfully slipped into his head. And you can’t take him off your mind either. A picture of him with puffy lips and pretty eyebrows furrowed cutely. What a sight.

You weave your fingers deeper into his locks, tugging on them swiftly so that he has his full attention to you only. He is breathless and panting already, yet you haven’t even touched him. This sort of fragility isn’t good for you, you think. It awakens something in you that is as caring as it can be dangerous.

“I can make you feel so good”

You seal your promise with a kiss, his back arching to desperately reach your lips. Your tongue soon makes its way into his mouth, tasting the desperation of his kisses. This sweetness was what made this make out session so different and so, so much sexier. The anticipation, the hastiness, the hunger for something new.

He looks drunk when you pull away, and you push him off of you and on his back. You place yourself into your rightful throne, right over his lap, and you are ready to begin your reign.

“I- I j-just”, you hear Xiaojun stutter from under you, and you melt at the sound of your boyfriend’s small voice, “I really don’t know what to do”

You pet the front of his hair and you coo as he leans into the touch. The sight of him slowly falling into submission is just beautiful.

“Relax, baby”, you comfort him in a tone almost sickly sweet, “leave it to me, okay? I will lead you”.

He nods, whimpering, and you can feel him squirm from under you, restraining himself from rubbing up against you. What would you say if you noticed the-

“Tell me baby, there is something that’s been pressing against my thigh since we started.”

Xiaojun’s eyes widen in shock, a wash of red landing in clouds over the skin of his face. He thought he was good at concealing it, the mere thought of you knowing just how much this all aroused him making him hide deeper beneath his blanket. “S-sorry it’s my mpmph”

You suck your teeth at his response, reaching behind your lap for the hard member. You find it easily, from the way it’s poking your right ass-cheek to the way it’s peeking out from the leg of his shorts. The tip is wet with precum already, and you smirk at the obviousness of his arousal.

“What is it baby? I didn’t hear you. You shouldn’t mumble around me.”

You squeeze his cheeks with your other hand then, prodding the skin with your fingers until his mouth opens up for you. Slipping two fingers inside, you let the heat of his mouth engulf your digits, and it doesn’t take long for the sucking to begin. He is so good at this, so talented with his mouth but you can’t praise him yet. Not until he learns to speak clearly.

Xiaojun tastes himself along with the saltiness of your fingers. He also tastes the dirty bluntness of the words on the tip of his tongue.

“It’s my… boner”

Your fingers are nice and wet now, wet enough so that your hands can slide effortlessly around his swollen tip. It twitches underneath your touch as you trace his slit with the pad of your index.

“I think it needs something from me”

He nods with closed eyes and sealed lips, eyes dark and glossy when he reopens them. Xiaojun knew what he wanted, and he knew what he had to do to get it.

“Please, please, please”, he whines, voice breaking at the end of every repetition of the sinful word, “will you let me inside you?”

You grab the band of your panties with your thumbs, rolling them down your legs as he’s waiting anxiously for your reply. Lowering your hips in the slightest way you let his head graze against your velvet heat, and Xiaojun’s eyes roll in the back of his head at the feeling.

“Do you think you deserve this?”

You push yourself against him just an inch, allowing his tip to submerge in your pussy. Your panties managed to soak up part of your wetness but he still slides inside you with ease, one exhale away from giving him what he wants so badly.

“Yes, yes, please. I will be such a good boy, I promise”

Smiling at his eagerness, you take in the sight of your boyfriend shaking from under you with just barely a touch. You allow gravity to finally pull you fully down his lap, the feeling of his cock stretching you out making you both moan equally as loudly. He’s expecting you to move your hips, his dick twitching inside you and when you don’t, all he can do is whine.

You see a hand tentatively dipping inside your shirt, fingers gliding from your navel to gently flick your left nipple. It felt really good. Too good.

“Did I tell you to touch me?”

His fingers leave your breast in an instant, as if electricity had hit him, shyly retracting it with a blush on his face.

“N-no. I’m sorry”

You roll your eyes in fake annoyance and take your shirt off to tempt him further. You can see the internal conflict he’s going through, thinking if it’s worth defying you if it means playing with your naked chest. He decides not to and just takes a deep breath to calm himself, hands determinedly pinned on the bed next to your knees.

“Move, pup”

Xiaojun looks confused at your demand, staying still for a second before his needs take the best of him. You hover a little over his lap, his dick still inside you, and he starts humping upwards to engulf himself with your heat.

He looks absolutely adorable humping you like this, the desperation on his face waking up a part of you that wants to please him as much as it wants to make him cry. His thrusts were short at first, working out the mechanics of having to do all the work himself but soon his hips got the hang of it, hitting you deep and filling you completely.

You feel sorry for him a little and decide to lay your body on top of him, and Xiaojun’s immediately satisfied with the shift in positions. Two locks of hair cover his eyes and you carefully pet them away, admiring how handsome your boyfriend is. Your love for him overwhelms you and you dip down to kiss him, your lips moving painfully slowly against his eager ones.

“I’ll do you a favor. You can touch me now”

Xiaojun’s hands hover next to your sides for a good second, his brain unable to handle the sudden freedom he was given. He finally decides to grip the softness of your ass, nimble fingers massaging the skin greedily. You can tell he’s getting close.

“I’m gonna cum”

“Pull out”

He knows you’re on birth control. You’d let him cum in you hundreds of times before, today’s morning sex included. This is just another manifestation of your power play. And it turned him on even more.

“I can’t, it feels too good, let me cum inside you please, please”

You didn’t have time to respond. You could already feel his hips halt with a stagger, his hot come painting your walls, and the feeling’s too good not to moan along with your baby boy. Big brown eyes meet you after he’s done panting, his teeth chewing his bottom lip in abashment.

“I’m sorry”

“You think batting your eyelashes at me is going to get you out of trouble so easy like that? Get up.” You let his softening member slip out of you and he hisses at the sensation, his trembling knees barely holding him up on his feet. A small stream of his slick starts to drip out of you and down your thigh, yet you hold on against the uncomfortable feeling as best as you can. “Now get on your knees. Show me something worthwhile to forgive you by”

Your voice is stern, dominant. It compels him to shuffle on his knees in front of you with no second thought, eyes looking up at you just like you’d imagined at the start of your scene. Xiaojun’s not one to rebel twice and Xiaojun is a pleaser. Xiaojun is a good boy, and he’s gonna prove it to you any way he can.

The first lick of his tongue over your clit has the hairs on your arms stand on edge. You were already stimulated from your previous position, his little sucks on your swollen bud bringing you closer and closer to insanity.

“This is so dirty”, he mumbles against your clit, lips working hard just like you expected from him.

“It’s just a little bit of cum baby boy. If you had listened to me and pulled out you wouldn’t have to lap it up like a little puppy now”

He moans at the derogatory words and you play with his hair again, knowing the act of intimacy relaxed him. A suspicious weight on your feet makes you look at the floor curiously, only to find your boyfriend humping the curve of your ankles.

“As always, Junnie, you’re such a pervert. Hard again?”

“I can’t help myself. This is so hot”

The sight of his face half-covered up with a mixture of your slicks, the skillful circles of his tongue against your sensitivity, the feeling of his hardness rubbing against you. It all proved too much and your knees were soon buckling, with Xiaojun wrapping his hands around your thighs to support you.

He keeps on licking you even after the wash of white over your vision, determined to take everything you have to offer. Your legs are weak and thighs are shaking and you collapse on the floor in front of him, kissing him sweetly as a ‘thank you’, over and over again.

“We don’t have to continue. You deserve to rest”

You shake your head negatively, determination firing up inside you again.

“No, I said I will make you feel good”

You take his hand in yours, briefly kissing the back of his palm, and you lead him to the corner of his room.

There, propped up against the wall stood a full body mirror, fingerprints staining it lightly and reflecting your fleshy nakedness. You pat the space right between your legs, motioning him to sit in front of you, and soon his back is resting against your chest.

Xiaojun is shy to see himself so exposed, it’s easy to tell, his eyes avoiding to meet yours through the reflection. His feet are planted on the wooden floor, legs spread and red cock staring back at him. You wrap your fingers around his shaft after trailing his angry veins with your fingers, then start to fluidly move the ring you’ve formed with your palm.

He has more than enough precum to work with and you move around his length effortlessly, each pump making him moan even louder. He’s overstimulated, his last orgasm too recent for him to be recovered and you let him rest his head back and onto your shoulder.

You plant a kiss on the side of his exposed neck, one that turns into you sucking and biting on the flesh. The sight of him squirming in your arms, cock leaking and chest heaving is divine, and it motivates you to leave a purple mark on the skin under your lips.

“You’ve been trembling for so long now baby. Is it my hands? Or the way I kiss your neck?”

“Everything I-I’m s-so close. Please don’t stop”

You start jerking him off faster, admiring the marks your teeth left behind.

“Will you be a good boy and cum for me? Paint something pretty for me on the mirror?”

His abs flex at your words, cock bulging impossibly in your grasp and the first drops escape him, landing with impressive speed over the glass. You’re absolutely entranced by the blissed out look on his face, watching carefully as the ropes of cum drip down over the mirror, blurring the sight of you two.

“I love you”, you whisper as you continue to kiss his neck, gently and carefully this time. Your arms still safely keep him tugged in your embrace and he isn’t ready to leave you yet either, drunk in the aftermath of pleasure and the overwhelming feeling of your love.

“Forget everything I said”, he chuckles lightly, the vibrations making your chest tingle, “we’re definitely doing this again”

Good Governance and Forest Conservation

NAWA CITA, the nine priority agenda of the current government, highlights “good, clean, effective and democratic governance” as one of the main agenda points to be included in the national development plan. This involves continuing bureaucratic reform, institutional strengthening, improving capacity and integrity of civil servants and ensuring public participation in decision-making process.

In term of natural resources, bureaucratic reformations as being planned are embedded in National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN). To show government’s commitment in addressing natural resources management problems, and envisioning more sustainable and equitable system, our recent RPJMN has given a mandatory mission to strengthen governance system and structure as well as to effectively eradicate corruption practices.

One of the highlighted point to conserve our environment and its resources is to strengthen forest governance as it is expected to be enabling conditions for the rehabilitation of degraded land in the forest watershed improvement efforts, the increase in revenue from the forestry sector and for the overall success of combatting climate change.

Indonesia’s target to save natural resources from the destructive activities contributing to deforestation and forest degradation and the loss of the state in the forestry sector is also being part of continuing effort to show a strong commitment in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent with its own capabilities and 41 percent with the support of international development partners. More than 60 percent of the target for emissions reductions is planned be achieved through the reduction of deforestation and forest degradation and sustainable forest management, conservation of carbon stocks and carbon stock enhancement through planting, also known as REDD+.[1]

REDD+ as an idea is basically a success story. However, the implementation itself in Indonesia cannot be worthwhile using “good or bad” to describe its progress. Indeed, some things are going really well, and some things are not going as expected. A national forest moratorium, which prohibits new licenses to clear key forest areas mandated in Presidential Instruction No. 10 2011[2], which is then enforced by current President, Joko Widodo, and his commitment to climate leadership, has been a big thing to increase public awareness on environment conservation.

On the other hand, as an ideal concept, REDD+ undeniably faces huge challenges particularly in local level as powerful political and economic interests favor continued deforestation and degradation. A 2010 investigation by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found that the Ministry of Forestry failed to accurately map forests, land use, and concession boundaries, and did not fairly allocate use rights.[3] These weaknesses were actually being central causes of persistent corruption and lost government revenue, as well as high levels of deforestation, particularly in the outermost regions of Indonesia when monitoring from central government is most lack of.

Overlapping interest and regulation between all parties exposed by REDD+ implementation is giving more complex challenges to Indonesian government especially in term of providing effective, efficient and equitable REDD+ policies. This also eventually led a serious uncertainty and swing conditions which can be destructive for initial goal of keeping our forest intact. Taking an example, the moratorium on new licenses is also undermined, by the ministries of agriculture and of mining and energy, which both have of course the right to issue licenses for development. Hence, to have a major reform of our current bureaucracy is deliberately needed to synchronize all the interest and aspirations to have one single firmed road map acknowledged by all stakeholders.

One harmonized collaborative works among all ministries, organizations, as well as local stakeholders will result a single work plan that hopefully can generate one single data to work based on. This way, encountering conflict caused by different data base used in policy decision making is expected to be less frequent. Furthermore, well-delivered socialization from central government to local authorities is also have a significant role to ensure the same framework of planning and implementation of REDD+ program all across nation.

Referring a finding on REDD+ implementation in Henda Village, Central Kalimantan, which revealed another secondary problems happening in local level—that is a probability to trigger a dispute about land use right and horizontal conflict among local people[4]—government enforcement to have a clear and firmed constitutional foundation is definitely urgent to be improved. Most of the horizontal conflicts happened in local level occur due to the lack of transparency in funding management and allocation. Some people even believe, particularly those who are underprivileged, that besides corruption REDD+ practices are prone to discrimination as well.

In addition, Firnaherera (2013) found that in Mantangai Hulu, another village in Central Kalimantan, REDD+ did not only cause horizontal conflict, but also vertical conflict with central government and donor.[5] In this village, a fund from Australia managed by Kalimantan Forest Carbon Partnership (KFCP) is alleged only benefit government and donor, instead of giving privilege for community as well. REDD+ fund distribution in this region is not as transparent as community expect which may be resulted due to the lack of local people participation involved in planning and management of REDD+ itself.[6]

According to some aforementioned problems above, it is obviously clear that forestry sector nowadays is still facing critical problem regarding good governance practice. Thus, to have a very practical solution to address this problem, a multi-sectoral framework should be developed as a single basis for all stakeholders whose functions are crossing the same edge especially in the field of forest conservation and land use management, such as Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning and etc.

Despite having a same framework and planning, all stakeholders from central and local government are often still having an overlapped function and intervention resulted from unsynchronized data they share to each other. Taking an example which is being my utmost concern is when development agenda should be halted due to the unclear regulations and authority from stakeholders who are in charged to respond. One of the most important data to support our national development is spatial data which ironically to date still have not been mapped completely because different interest from each parties involved in our national development planning. This also contributes to our underperformed forest conservation as we never have an exact and valid data to be used by all stakeholders in planning their own development agenda.

In conclusion, I profoundly believe that natural resources, particularly forest is one of the most valuable sources of future generation adequate living which should be conserved wisely, despite our national development goal whose agenda will be more likely to favor forest degradation and deforestation as we still aim for an economic growth from natural resource exploitation. Indeed, to meet a balance of both economically and environmentally successful target, Indonesia should have firm commitment in realizing good governance practices especially in natural management system. Thus, we can assure that sustainability in development is on the verge to happen and no one will left behind.
