Mirant a Sant Climent de Taüll

Aquella mañana nos levantamos tarde. Él tenía migraña. Yo aún el miedo en el cuerpo. La proximidad física con mi exmarido del día anterior me había dejado noqueado. Mi organismo estaba en colapso.

Quizás por ese motivo y no por otro no me acerqué a la iglesia de Sant Climent de Taüll. Esbelta y majestuosa pero también tradicional y atávica. Igual que él. Me refiero aquí al él de antes, que no al de ahora.

El él de ahora rehúye las tradiciones sin hacer ruido. El él de antes persigue las tradiciones con bombo y platillo. Yo persigo y rehuyo a todos ellos a un mismo tiempo. Esa parece ser mi esencia...

Durante los cuatro días que permanecimos bajo el techo de un apartamento frente a la famosa y románica iglesia no sentí el impulso de penetrar en sus muros. Aún hoy me pregunto por qué...

PSA: Remember to give your florets regular oral inspections, it's for their health!

as much as the kink part of being florted is hot, it will never compare to the sheer fantasy of being taken care of without expectations. i keep fantasizing about it, the idea of being cared for and loved despite my disorders. that world where i can be taken in and helped, to have my owner wash me and cuddle me after, the absolute sensation that i will never have to worry about being abandoned again echoing in her biorythm. to finally feel safe enough to be weak, to be vulnerable and know that it wont get me hurt, to bare my soul to someone with the awareness that they will love what lies within.

to me being owned just means being loved for the simple reason of existing

Imagine a hyper-intelligent quantum computer hidden, within a complex sci-fi super-facility, who's body is technically the entire facility itself. Now imagine that an Affini attempts to make the facility into their floret.

The facility, built and abandoned by the accord, has been alone for decades, and refuses to trust the Affini or even admit to their own sentience.

It constantly tells the affini that it isn't a sophont, and is merely reacting within its protocols. So the Affini wanders through the complex, avoiding the computer's best attempts at killing them, and trying to help the computer through the trauma that it refuses to have. Eventually the Affini manages to get through to it and leaves with a little flashdrive containing their new floret.

TLDR; GLaDOS* gets florted.

*not really GLaDOS, but you get the point

I know a huge part of the appeal of Human Domestication Guide is Terrans resisting at first before slowly coming to love their Affini, but I would love love LOVE to read more stories where they desperately want to be domesticated from the beginning and are just too embarassed to say it outright. Picture an "independent Terran" looking at florn every night, regularly asking on Overnet forums about what it's like to be a floret, fantasizing about her overly-friendly affini neighbor, going red in the face whenever she teases her... it's just a matter of time before she submits, and her Affini barely even has to coax it out of her.

Honestly I think one of the biggest appeals to the HDG fandom is seated in a near primal level of feelings. We as humans have spent our entire existence as being the big friend shaped creature that loves to pack bond and love other creatures with such a fervor that it seems endless to these less long lived animals.

Just to imagine that same feeling that your cat gets when they get scratched by you, or the adoring feeling that your dog gets when they see you come home from work, I think there's a deep rooted longing that we as a species also cry out for those same feelings.

My love for HDG has finally breached into the physical realm my girlfriend had a kandi making party and I made a good floret bracelet!

tumblr spirits are telling me to look into "human domestication guide"

I'ma trust them because doing so is normally funny

[gracefolds]

Ngl I’m curious as to how many fans of HDG would, if given the opportunity, sell out all of humanity to the Affini, and how long would they take to make that decision.

why can't it be real. why can't it be real. why can't it be real. i am going to bawl. i am going to cry THE AFFINI ARE OUT THERE, RIGHT?? THEY JUST HAVEN'T FOUND US RIGHT? IT'S ALRIGHT EVERYONE, I'M SURE THEY'LL COME BY ANY DAY NOW :(((

Thought I posted this already but I don't see it sooo here's the cover I made for the lovely, inimitable @sapphicsounds1312's pred4pred HDG story, Soar Higher Fall Farther! If you want to see a heavily augmented post-human beast and a shapeshifting plant alien viciously hunt and hatefuck and pretend they don't have feelings for each other, check it out! (mind the tags)

i need an affini to pump me so full of class Ds that my years of emotional repression comes flooding out of me all at once and we spend the next 8 hours cuddling with me in tears until finally when i get better i look up still full of class Ds and ask her to do whatever she wants to me

An "independent Terran" telling her strangely supportive friend on the Overnet all about how much she secretly wants to be domesticated by the Affini that just moved into the hab next door, blissfully unaware that they're one and the same.

Sharing all her deepest most intimate fantasies, asking if the Affini would like it if she started wearing companion dresses (her "friend" seemed incredibly enthusiastic about this one for some reason), confessing the desire to just give in and beg to become her floret is getting harder to resist every day, no idea she's been telling all of this to her soon-to-be Mistress until it's far too late.
