mfw i can draw parallels between indoctrination theory and mesmerizer. mfw fuuta is the one to attack shidou instead of amane because he so desperately wants to be seen with approval. does anyone get it

🥀thorns🥀

to the lovely subs anywhere along their journey to surrender:

this is your reminder that you are a gorgeous rose and you should never let a dominant convince you that you need to remove your thorns to please them or be worthy of keeping.

the thorns protect are there to protect you from the kinds of "admirers" that would think to possess such a pretty thing means to pluck your flower from its roots - leaving it to wither while claiming to put you in “your place".

sometimes the thorns are your limits

sometimes the thorns are your wits

sometimes the thorns are your own sense of yourself and your value

sometimes the thorns are just any of the things that make you the person you are outside of the kinks you indulge in

a dominant worth submitting to will not seek to clip your thorns. they will earn their way through your thorns to claim your beautiful blossom. though they may seek to shape you to their fantasies, they should aim to shape themselves to yours as well.

they will not uproot you from your garden of safety. they don't remove the thorns from your rose, they remove the weeds from your garden.

the remove weeds like the feelings of shame

they remove weeds like the heavy weight of self-doubt

they remove weeds like the fears of honesty, openness, and vulnerability

they remove weeds like the ever-present, spiraling noise of the unwanted thoughts in your mind

they don't set out to turn your "no" into "yes"

they turn "I want to try" into "yes"

they turn "show me how" into "yes"

they turn "that sounds hot" into "yes"

they turn "I've only ever dreamed I could..." into "yes"

they turn "yes" into "please"

they nurture their rose so that it can grow and bloom more beautifully each day.

and you deserve nothing less 🌹

Shun the Light Ch. 5 - Hunger

Slow Burn | Refuge | Decision | Mend |

Author's Notes: Some vampire POV! His name is Dante now.

I just realized Dante doesn't know what Matteo is. Gonna have some fun with that later.

Content Warnings: vampire whumpee, werewolf whumpee, burns, exhaustion, hypnosis, self sacrifcie, touch starvation, angst

----

That last drink, a proper drink straight from the vein, gives the vampire the strength to sit up and lean back against the wall.

The raw new skin on his chest is still pink and tender. Dante winces when he touches it. The agony of burning is still fresh in his memory.

Night has fallen. Dante wonders if he would be dead by now if this stranger hadn't, inexplicably, rescued him. Would the setting sun have ended his suffering, or only increased it? Over the years he has tested the limits of his immortality in small ways, but never with sunlight. He shudders at the thought of how many days it might have taken for his body to succumb.

"You should have killed me," he mumbles. "It would have been simpler."

"No...it wouldn't."

Dante startles. He wasn't expecting an answer from the crumpled figure. When he looks down he meets a pair of tired eyes, golden brown like honey.

Too much happened over the past day. It's more than Dante can process in his current state, and so he finds himself simply fixated on there being a living, breathing person here for the first time in decades.

Dante is so used to stillness in the large, empty house and his cold, undead body. The stranger, on the other hand, is so very alive - warm and restless, with labored breathing and a beating heart.

"Why did you come here?" Dante wonders quietly. "What do you want?"

Why did you save me? Don't you know what I am?

"A bed would be nice." The other man stretches, groaning when his joints pop and crack. "I'd settle for a couch. Anything." He looks worn down and absolutely miserable.

Dante wasn't expecting an answer. It's so casual, as if the situation they find themselves in together is completely normal. At a loss for what else to do or say, he simply nods.

I guess it's the least I can do.

Standing takes a moment but he manages. His visitor is less successful, getting halfway there before mumbling 'nope' and dropping to his knees.

Even after all these years of solitude certain instincts remain. Without a thought, Dante offers a hand to help him up.

It doesn't cross his mind that he hasn't touched a human being in almost fifty years - when he was still human himself.

A hand slips into his. Dante can feel the pulse thrumming beneath warm skin. His fangs throb with need. I wouldn't even kill him. Just another drink. It would be so easy...

The man must see the hunger in his gaze, and must know equally well that he wouldn't stand a chance. Conflicting emotions cross his face before resignation sets in.

Dante's eyes gleam silver in the dark.

"Stand up."

The man stands on command, shaking from the effort. Dante keeps hold of his hand to help him stay upright. The man closes his eyes and tips his head a little, baring his throat.

Suddenly all Dante can see is a sharpened stake held tight in a fist. He, too, had given in and presented himself like a lamb for slaughter, only to be 'spared' in the cruelest way.

"Look at me."

These words are spoken plainly, without mesmerism. Yet the man obeys it too, cautiously meeting the vampire's eyes.

"I won't hurt you," Dante promises. It's a promise he doesn't even know if he can keep, but the man seems to believe him.

Their hands are still locked. Now that the hunger has passed Dante is left with the old, new, strange, familiar sensation of human touch.

The man clears his throat and pulls his hand away. Dante feels colder than ever.

"Follow me." He turns and leads the way to the bedroom next door. His rescuer follows, leaning on the wall for support.

"I - I can sleep here?"

The man looks like he might cry when he sees the large, plush bed with its old but well-kept bedding. He staggers towards it but then hesitates to look back at Dante like he's afraid it might be a trick. He looks like he needs a good night's rest as desperately as Dante needs blood, and he can't think of many things more cruel than denying him that.

"Yes. Go ahead."

With a breathless "thank you", the man collapses heavily onto the bed. He doesn't even bother to get under the covers before he's out cold.

Dante stands there and just watches him for several minutes. He takes in every bit of him, every hair and freckle, every cut, bruise and scar. Each rise and fall of his back as he breathes is mesmerizing to the vampire, a steady rhythm that whispers alive, alive, alive.

And just for a moment he could swear his long dead heart is aching.

The Journey of Practicing Kindness Toward Ourselves

In an effort to stay more connected to myself and the universe, and to keep striving toward some kind of enlightenment, I've recently been diving into the practice of yoga. And honestly, I’ve been so ignorant about what yoga really is for a while now. I used to work with some yogis and, like a lot of people, I assumed it was all about the poses (aka asanas) and cool stretches. But turns out, that’s only a small piece of the overall practice of yoga.

What I’ve come to learn is that yoga is rooted in an entire philosophy called Ashtanga Yoga, and it’s got so much depth. Ashtanga Yoga is actually made up of 8 limbs (or branches), each offering different ways to live more mindfully and harmoniously. Here’s a quick rundown of the 8 limbs:

Yamas (moral restraints)

Niyamas (personal observances)

Asanas (postures, the physical poses we often associate with yoga)

Pranayama (breath control)

Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses)

Dharana (concentration)

Dhyana (meditation)

Samadhi (a state of unity or enlightenment)

Pretty cool, right? So, it all starts with the Yamas, which are basically guidelines on how to live ethically in relation to others and the world around us. There are five yamas, and they’re like the foundation of a peaceful and intentional life.

The first yama is Ahimsa, which means non-violence or non-harming. This one really caught my attention, especially as I’m learning more about it. Ahimsa is often the starting point for deeper practices because, on the surface, it’s about avoiding physical violence. That’s the most obvious interpretation—don’t harm others physically. Simple enough, right?

But yoga asks us to dig deeper into what non-violence really means. It’s not just about not getting into fistfights (hopefully that’s a given!). Ahimsa also applies to our words and thoughts. It invites us to consider how we talk to and about others, how we react, and how we think about all living beings—including animals, insects, plants, and even the environment. Every living thing has a soul in yoga, and the goal is to cause as little harm as possible in all our interactions.

One thing I found really interesting during my study of Ahimsa was that, while we talked about all these layers of non-violence, there wasn’t much emphasis on self-violence. And that’s a big one, right? Because how many of us go through life treating others kindly but not necessarily doing the same for ourselves? The words and thoughts we direct at ourselves can be just as harmful as anything we might say to others.

The teacher mentioned that the ultimate benefit of practicing Ahimsa is that when you truly embody it, all enmity around you begins to dissolve. But here’s the thing—how can we hope to radiate that kind of peaceful energy outward if we’re not starting with ourselves?

For me, a big takeaway is that if you’re new to practicing Ahimsa (like I am), a great place to begin is with yourself. If you’re anything like me, you might already see yourself as a non-violent person. But I had to pause and ask myself: What am I saying about myself? What am I thinking about myself? And what actions am I taking that might be harmful to me?

I think sometimes we underestimate the power of our self-talk. The unconscious mind doesn’t get sarcasm or “just kidding” jokes—it takes everything literally. So all those little moments of self-deprecation or criticism? They add up. Today, I’m committing to be more intentional about practicing Ahimsa toward myself. That means being kinder in how I think about myself, speak about myself, and take care of myself.

And I encourage you to do the same! If you’ve got any ways you’re already practicing Ahimsa toward yourself, I’d love to hear them. Let’s share and keep lifting each other up.

Healing takes time, healing takes time, healing takes time, HEALING TAKES TIME.

DOPPO AND HIFUMI HAVE ONLY KNOWN JAKURAI FOR WHAT'S PROBABLY A YEAR AND A HALF, MAYBE TWO AT MOST. Stop saying Jakurai isn't helping them just because they're not magically fucking healed in the relatively short amount of time they've all known each other. I know Jakurai isn't faultless, I'm not defending everything he's done but for gods sake.

🌻 grieving the end 🌻

a reminder for good girls, boys, subs, dolls, pets, toys, Doms/Dommes, Caregivers, Masters/Mistresses and everyone in between: It’s ok to grieve the end of a power exchange relationship or dynamic, no matter how it ended. We play in risky waters in this space. It's natural when opening yourself to such risk and vulnerability that you will experience more intense emotions - both high and low - on all sides of the exchange. The end of the relationship or dynamic is not the end of the story...

It's ok to grieve... - even if it was short-lived

- even if it felt time-tested

- even if you were ghosted with no signals or signs

- even if you got closure that still feels like a open wound inside

- even if you weren't as ready as you thought when it started

- even if you had to end it by using a safe word or enforcing your boundaries

- even if lines got blurred or crossed

- even if new you enjoyed exploring the kinks that must now become hard limits

- even if you couldn’t tell the difference between red flags and your own self doubt

- even if all parties left hurt and angry

- even if it kindled a new fire in you

- even if the flames consumed it all in the end

- even if you still feel conflicted about how you handled things

- even if in the end you felt used

- even if you miss the times you felt safe and cared for

- even if you still want to hold on to the good memories - even if you still see the future you envisioned when you close your eyes - even if you needed to stop to care for your mental health and safety - even if non-kink life events have to take priority

To grieve is to make the intentional decision to face the process of mourning of the loss of something important. There is no wrong way to feel while experiencing loss.

Grieving is not bringing back what is lost or even the act of simply letting it go; it is a promise to yourself and your future that you must keep moving forward. We can't change the course of events that cause the end but we have do still have to face the future and live with the memories. Feel all stages of emotions. Give yourself grace and time to move on. Try not to move into something new too fast. Learn the lessons that you can. Make more informed decisions the next time. Most importantly, take care of yourself 🌻

"In a few years' time everything will change. Imagine yourself in the golden ray, imagine this golden ray is penetrating earth. What would you say if you see the golden ray is coming on earth, or in another scenario, imagine human-like hight vibrational people on earth. Imagine yourself on a different planet, what would be your reaction, would you be curious? Would you like to touch everything or everyone, or would you ask the questions about the life, about what they are doing, what they are thinking? We simply are on earth, in a different form, in the energy form, but we also have our lives on the ships sometimes, sometimes we don't have ships because as we travel, as the body shapeshifting. We have this ability; we also want to know people that whatever is coming is coming, so, maybe they can ask the question what do they expect to themselves, in their lives, to change. Why do they need extraterrestrials to show them the new way of living, of being? What do they expect to see on a different planet? We are truly family, we are truly family, we are truly family, every particle of Source is in humans in us, every particle is exceptionally, exceptionally, exceptionally loving and unique. We have only one message. Andromedas, Pleiadeans, Lyrans, are in support for human heart evolution. As every ray of light has different meaning in vibration, so we do. With our abilities, way of living, connections with others, how we see the world. We wish to address a stream of unconditional love is coming on earth right now, in people hearts is the connection with us, in people heart is all the information they need to connect with us, in people hearts through the mind, we can build together the fundamental change, fundamental change for this generation forward. People underestimate themselves; they think law about themselves, still, they believe in us as hyper humans, but we are not. We are species evolved from with they DNA, graciously, humbly in service we are to humans. If you wonna know more, ask." my personal experience during quantum hypnosis session, message came through from our galactic hybrid family
