#having all his overwhelming strength used to hurt people he loves without his consent? fucked up!! that would definitely stay in his mind

[qqueenofhades]

Trump's SCOTUS pick scares the ever loving shit out of me. I'm trying not to have a full blown panic attack actually.

Sigh. I know.

I’m not going to say that picking someone literally, un-exaggeratedly out of The Handmaid’s Tale for SCOTUS, especially to replace someone like RBG, isn’t mother fucking terrifying. It is.  Especially since Mitch McConnell is trying to set her final confirmation vote for October 29, literally five days before the election. Yes indeed, that would be a third Supreme Court seat filled by an impeached president who lost the popular vote by three million votes, (possibly) confirmed by Republican enablers (some of whom are absolutely going to lose their seats in this election) who represent a sizeably smaller fraction of the US population than their Democratic counterparts, in a display of outright, staggering, truly breathtaking hypocrisy about the protocol of election-year vacancies on SCOTUS, which they themselves shouted about to no end with Merrick Garland in 2016. This is how tyranny by minority rule works, and... yeah. It’s bad. It’s awful. When is this going to end.

That said, however: we do not yet exist in this theoretical grimdark future where some dystopian 6-3 (or even 7-2) conservative SCOTUS strips us of our rights at every turn, with no recourse except for us to sit passively and take it, and there are a lot of things that we ourselves can do between now and then to make sure that it never happens. First off, House Democrats have proposed a bill to introduce 18-year term limits for SCOTUS justices, rather than it being an automatic lifetime appointment. This would also give every president the ability to appoint two justices per four-year term. Because SCOTUS has become such an instrument of partisan warfare, and because the obvious implications of having a partisan head of state pick the senior federal judges for a lifetime is part of what has fucked us up now, this would be a GREAT improvement. House Dems can’t make it into law right now, because Democrats do not hold a majority in both chambers of Congress and they do not hold the presidency. You know how this COULD be passed? If Joe Biden was elected with a blue House and Senate. That way, even if God forbid the GOP horror show snuck Coney Barrett onto the bench just before the election, this could be fixed.

Here’s another way to think about it. I myself have a HUGE problem with catastrophizing: a bad thing happens, and then it seems like an inevitable chain of nonstop bad things until everything gets irredeemably, unfixably even worse. This year, obviously, has not done much to help that, because yes, the bad things keep coming. But they’re still individual events and have not yet crystallized into some unbreakable, unavoidable future. History is made up of thousands of millions of choices, accidents, unforeseen developments, total random bullshit, and much more, as much or more as it is made up by the macro-scale actions of oligarchs. Obviously, globalization and capitalism have made us all more connected to each other, and thus changes to the system can ripple more broadly, but they are not the only people who make history. If there’s one thing I can tell you as a historian, it’s this: the future is just history that hasn’t been made yet, and it is subject to the exact same unpredictable bullshit that has constituted history throughout, well, history. Nothing is unavoidable and we have never existed in a world where we can’t do anything at all. Also, authoritarian regimes (especially those imposed without the consent of the people -- willing subjection to authoritarianism is one thing, but the other, yeah) have a relatively short shelf life, historically speaking. That won’t help all of us who could be hurt right now (though we can STILL fight back and speak up and help our neighbors), but it’s the truth. Authoritarian rule (especially when it’s not balanced by economic security, which sure as hell isn’t happening right now) can last for a while, sure. But it is always its own worst enemy, and it will always be ended. How that ends is a choice we can make.

This isn’t the “get out on the streets and Start The Glorious Revolution!!!” nonsense that the armchair internet leftists, none of whom are actually starting a glorious revolution or doing anything except bitching on Twitter about how Biden and Trump are alike, are fond of. This is an active choice to realize that there are always things you can do, that there are things you can do right now, and one of them, most obviously, is voting. This mess was all completely goddamn avoidable if people had voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. But well, they didn’t, and we get one last shot to fix this by democratic process. Trump is already openly setting up to contest the election results/try to invalidate them/throw out ballots. This is all old-school fascism. This is what is happening. He is counting on another razor-thin margin of votes that he can then contest in his hand-picked SCOTUS; he wants another Bush v. Gore very, very badly. The only way to blow away any legitimacy for anything like this is to vote in such overwhelming numbers that there’s no question of Biden’s victory, no need to wait for mail-in ballots (another reason the GOP has been trying so hard to destroy the post office) or anything else. At heart, Trump is a coward. He’s also an egomaniac. If it comes to stepping aside peacefully or being dragged out of the White House by the FBI for everyone to laugh at for the rest of time, hmm, I doubt he’s going to go for that. (And if he does, well, I will also savor the sight of him in handcuffs for all eternity.) However, that doesn’t mean the GOP machine won’t TRY, because Trump is not just Trump, but is his entire miserable cabal of enablers. I have written my fingers raw about how badly people need to vote. This is literally your last chance to do it.

I’ve seen a lot of the-sky-is-falling, we’re-doomed, they-have-the-votes-so-don’t-even-bother handwringing in the last few days. To some degree, yes. We all feel doomed. We have all been asked to find strength to deal with massive and unending waves of terrifying bullshit past anyone’s normal capacity, and we’re tired. We want it to end. But it’s SO CLOSE to ending, if we can all just get out and vote for Joe Biden in massive numbers on November 3 (or if your state has early voting, sooner; BANK YOUR VOTE). That’s such an easy thing to do. Nothing is set in stone. We can still fix things and make it so, you know, we’re not living in a fascist state ruled by Gilead. (And besides, all this Chicken Little rhetoric is super easy for the Russian troll farms to exploit. Don’t listen to it. Shut it down. Reject it.)

They want you to think you’re powerless. You’re not.

They want you to think this will never end. It will. We decide how.

They want you to think this is a foregone conclusion and you should just go back home and let it happen. You don’t have to.

They want you to think your vote doesn’t matter. It does.

They want you to think your rights are gone. They’re not.

They want you to think this future is inevitable.

IT’S NOT.

Hang in there.

Lots of hugs.

NSFW Alphabet - The Author

These are all personal opinions of mine. Of course, others might see it differently, but I hope you all enjoy the read no matter what!

(Re-post! The original got removed because I had an actual sex gif in here, so now there’s just a link!)

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

While he can be quite an asshole, he understands that you need him after sex, especially since he tends to be pretty intense. He won’t hesitate to pull you into his chest and make you lay there until you’re practically pushing him away and complaining. Only when you complain or tease him, does he really feel you’ve recovered.

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

No doubt, his favorite part of his body is his arms and hands. He loves to flex them and show off his strength any time he can, and of course, his hands create the beautiful work that is his narrations.

His favorite part of his lover is their mouth. Whether it’s their quick wit and sarcastic responses or his name falling from their lips, he loves it. He loves seeing their soft lips curve into a gentle smile when he makes them laugh, and can’t get enough of them moaning his name when he’s wrecking them.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

He’s never ashamed to come all over his lover. On their ass, thighs, face, inside them, he doesn’t care. Whether it's seeping out of them or showing proudly against their skin, he considers it a claim.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He gets off on fear. While he’d never hurt his lover beyond what they agree to, he’s not above threatening to do it. The fear in their eyes, the shaking of their body, it all makes him that much more excited.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

The author is plenty experienced. From his dashing good looks to his smooth words and powerful aura, people with a masochistic or submissive tendency flock to him. It doesn’t hurt that when he’s having a dry spell, he can invite someone looking for a similar situation into his realm of the world.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

AuthorFavoritePositionGif

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Author is as serious in bed as he is out, not very often prone to laughter unless something extremely ridiculous happens.

H = Hair (How well-groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

He keeps himself trimmed and cleaned up, and he requests his lover to do the same.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Author is very serious and almost overwhelming. Passionate and wild are the best words to describe him when he wants you. You can tell by the look he gets on his face when his mind has shifted into intimacy territory.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

He jacks off once a day, at least, if he’s unable to have you that day, but he’s quick and flippant about it; using it for more of a quick-release rather than taking the time to enjoy it.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

BDSM; He is a dom in all aspects and absolutely requires submission out of his lover.

Breathplay; He’s skilled and careful in this kink, but adores the look of fear and elation it evokes in his lover.

Consensual nonconsent; He loves the thrill of the chase and a fight. He wants to feel that rush of power and dominance over his lover, but once he hears your safe word, all bets are off and he’s back to the man you love and care for.

Predator/Prey; Falling under the consensual noncon, he adores the chase. Whether it's through the house or the woods, his adrenaline gets pumping into overdrive by chasing, catching, and pinning his lover into submission.

Name-calling; You’ll be his little whore, slut, cum princess, whatever dirty name he feels like calling you at the moment. He is cautious if you have certain trigger words and respects not using them if you request it.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Anywhere. As long as he has the space to twist you into whatever position he wants, he’s fine. Against the wall, on the floor, on the counters, against a tree; everything is fair game to him.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

As stated above in kinks, submission and resistance turn him on like no other. Whether he’s getting his way with his willing lover or tracking them down to fuck them into submission, he thrives off the power play.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn-offs)

He absolutely refuses to ever sub. Gentle sex is usually a turn off for him as well, so it’s a once in a very great while act.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Receiving. He wants to see you on your knees, hands behind you back, taking his cock like the good little slut you are as he listens to you moan and choke and gag until he comes in your mouth; enough for it to flow down your chin as you can’t swallow fast enough.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast and rough, 24/7. The only slow he will ever engage in is when denying your orgasm, which is not often. He wants to hear you screaming, hear how his body slaps yours, hear how his hand connects with your ass beautifully in the act.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

He’s completely fine with a quickie, seeing as he’s used to fucking his lover so roughly their head might spin. Got to leave for work in thirty minutes? He’ll take ten to fuck you against the door of your car as you’re heading out. Have company over? He’ll sneak you into the back room and fuck you on the washer while covering your screams with his hand.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Author engages in very many risks. From brutal sex to consensual non-consent play, he likes to take it to the edge, but he is very careful and practiced in what he does. He would never endanger your life.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

He can last a fair bit longer than most men, but nothing extremely abnormal. Fifteen minutes to one hour is his usual, depending on how much time he has with his lover. He can go one to two rounds at a time but would be ready for more in an hour or so after.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t feel the need for toys. He won’t object if you bring one and ask to use it, but he won’t let it be a regular occurrence.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

While he can do a fair amount of teasing, he’s much more likely to get down to business, unable to control himself once at a certain point.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

He’s loud, incredibly loud, but it’s mostly feral growling and groaning, mixed in with degrading names and demanding phrases. Once in awhile his lover’s name will add to the fray.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

He likes it rough, and he knows just how to balance his lover right on the edge of pain and pleasure. He delights in the way their body fights to get away and as close as possible to him at the same time. He doesn't mind pain in return, such as biting his neck or scratching at his back. The more animalistic, the better.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Slightly over average in length and much thicker than average, he is hung to please the pickiest of lovers but not harm them with his size.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

He has quite the high sex drive but keeps it in check for his lover.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

He falls asleep quite easily, more so when it was a strenuous session, and you’re cuddled up to his side as he drifts off. He’d never admit it to anyone else.
