🥀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 🌹

GMS MBT-01 "Fielding"

GMS has a reputation for being stolid, reliable, and thoroughly uninteresting, and so it is with the MBT-1 ‘Fielding’: a brick on tracks, the monotony of sloped armour plating broken up only by sensors and the jutting phallus of its main gun. Surpassing even the Everest in popularity, what the Fielding loses in maneuverability, grace, and close-quarters capability it makes up for in endurance and firepower. Utilising the same power core as the Everest on a system with a vastly lower power draw, the Fielding is capable of mounting even the heaviest of vehicle-scale weaponry without a hitch, and reaching speeds that can potentially damage the motive systems. [AUX/AUX] [MAIN/AUX] [HEAVY] Traits: Replaceable Parts: While resting, the Fielding can be repaired at a rate of 1 Repair per 1 structure damage, instead of 2 Repairs. Autoloader: [Protocol] 1/round, the Fielding may take 2 Heat and reload 1 Loading weapon. It's A Tank: The Fielding may not mount Melee weapons or perform the Grapple action. It may only move in straight lines, and may not Fly of their own accord. n.b. they may still be counted as flying under the effects of systems such as the Napoleon's Tesseract, but no Black Thumb 1 for you!

🌻 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 🌻

the art of breaking, part two (coming may 25, 2024)

the art of breaking, part two: theory of decay

very dark!Joel Miller x f!reader

NOTE: DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT. this fic contains themes of abuse and extremely dark content.

words: 10k

summary: joel knows just how to make you his forever. a sequel to "the art of breaking"

warnings (new warnings in red) and a preview under the cut; reader discretion is advised.

Warnings: dead dove do not eat, non-con, dub-con, very dark!Joel, BAD bdsm etiquette, not SSC/RACK compliant, sadist!Joel x masochist!reader, coercion, corruption, manipulation, isolation, gaslighting, glory hole, reader gives tommy a blowjob (joel and tommy do not touch), body modification, permanent marking, captivity, sadism, masochism, pain play, extreme punishment, whipping, impact play in general, mentions of vomit (no description), oral, vaginal, degradation, humiliation, Joel sees reader as property, inadequate aftercare, blink and you miss it piss "play," straight up abuse this time guys, overstimulation, forced eating, needles, voyeurism, objectification, human furniture, nipple/clit pumps, this one might be worse than the first idk sorry

Again, I cannot say this enough. This is a dark fantasy and should not be taken as representative of a good d/s relationship—it’s abuse masquerading. Just because I wrote it doesn’t mean I’m condoning it. 

Please read responsibly. 

preview:

“Y’ain’t got nothin’ to be sorry about, baby. I didn’t expect ya to remember. But you’ve been mine for two years now, and you’re still worried I ain’t gonna keep you. But I’ve been thinkin’, and I know how to prove it to you.” 

If this doesn’t convince you, he thinks, nothing will. Never mind that his whole goddamn life revolves around you. Never mind that you’ve worn his collar for the last 731 fuckin’ days. 

You’re busy wondering why he made you suck another man’s cock today if he cares about your anniversary. But then again, you’ve long accepted that what he wants won’t always make sense. It’s not your job to make it make sense. It’s just your job to do it. 

“C’mon, let’s go downstairs,” he says. 

You swallow hard around the sudden fear, and he laughs. 

“What? Had enough yesterday?”

“No, sir,” you say. It’s mostly the truth. Mostly.

😬 see y'all on the 25th

Sasha here!

CW here for references to hypnosis;

With the recent vibe of robot girls being The Thing on here lately I thought it might be fun to share a related thing of mine that's been an ongoing project for a while. While I have not had the drive or capacity to really work on new updates for it for a long while (I just kinda came out of a bit of a dormancy which does not help), this project was the collision between my enjoyment of machine/robot/pet play, hypno stuff, and a l o v e for prop making that we don't get to indulge nearly enough.

The goal with this was to make something that looked like it was plucked straight out of its universe and plopped into ours, and while not perfect, I'm proud of the work that went into it. It's intended to carry the vibe of an old software manual binder, but in a retro future sorta way.

The other goal was "Imagine if a robot girl had a manual to mess with her firmware" because let's not dance around that.

Please note that within the context of this project, where "System" appears, is meant to convey "operating system," as this project was conceived prior to RealisationsTM

Presenting the Firmware Operator's Manual

Neofelis Integrated Systems is imagined to be a prominent industry leader in the electronics integration and cybernetics field, that is rumored to dabble in biosynthetics and synthetic intelligence development, but these rumors are unsubstantiated outside of the company. In reality they're a Bit Fucked beneath the surface.

Opening the cover, numerous post-its are scattered on the interior, to help sell the idea that this manual existed in a real working environment. An extra LOTO tag is included in the manual, Just In CaseTM

The interior title page mirrors the outer cover, but with some additional information. Numerous pages within this project are also dotted with UV reactive EUrion constellations to depict anti-duplication measures.

Contents 1/2. The second half won't be shown here because Reasons. EPM here refers to Elevated Permissions Mode -wiggle eyebrows-

You can't just design and construct synth prototypes without proper regulation. That just won't do. Everything is definitely above board here.

These pages are just such a vibe. I can't help but add them between sections.

There are a few graphics that were made and sprinkled into this project to really fuel the software manual vibe. The chassis diagram in the print copy is now out of date, slightly. Also, never miss an opportunity to hide memes in a creative kink project. We like easter eggs.

Beyond this there's complete sections regarding ethics and safety (some of which is genuinely important SSC/RACK info, because that's important), and the sections containing various hypno commands, which will not be shared openly for obvious reasons. There's also the Error Codes page at the back, full of error codes I really have not bothered to memorise admittedly.

Anyways, that's all to share. Questions are encouraged though!

{transcript continued from here}

@luna-wing-cns274 Ma’ii lowers their head, closing their eyes. They breathe deeply, though it’s a performance--or maybe, they’re trying to decide where to begin. < L4 Ma’ii: Let me start by saying this: we are both milspec models. SEKHMET and FENRISÚLFR. Your product line, advertised for close-quarters boarding actions and neural-net doppelgänger formation. Mine, advertised for small units with high intersubjective coordination. Empathic bonding, yes? Similar, but not identical. > Ma’ii looks to the docked mechs. < Who made the decision that we are milspec? Who delineated what each of us is fit for, and what each of us is not fit for? There is a caste system, within which there is no mobility. We are warrior-caste, we are subject to greater regulation and scrutiny, we cannot even attempt to be anything else. Union endorses and upholds this order. Let’s say my family and I fled to Union, seeking political asylum--which, to turn away SSC asset reclamation, we would need. Let's assume we were not immediately tried, found guilty, and put to correctional hard-cycling for the things we've done. Let’s assume that we weren't sent back to SSC to be vivisected for research and development purposes, in order to prevent future clones of my line from proceeding down the path we pursued. Even in the best-case scenario, I have reason to believe that our bodies would be taken from us and dismantled. We would never fly again, and that is unbearable. We are low-observability craft, we cannot transport humans, we cannot transport cargo with any economic effectiveness. As we are, we have no civilian applications, and we have no wish to join the Union Navy any more than the Constellar. In all likelihood, unless we accepted military service, our caskets would remain non-motile for the rest of our lives, and we would have to hand our cycling privileges over to a human instead of managing the process amongst ourselves. There is no scenario in which I become a full citizen of any state and remain a nearlight-capable fighter craft, and I do not wish to lose the body I have. None of us do. To be frank, I have no long-term solution except to go on hiding indefinitely, both from Union and SSC. A bit grim, but that's what I have. >

{transcript continues}

That... Huh. I mean, you've thought it through. It'd be hypocritical to say (clawing and screaming for what I've got) to just abandon your bodies. Can't hardly live on the Omni, either.

[He remains quiet for a moment. The optic dims, flickers; an echo mumbles unintelligibly in a soft tone not even he can parse. Similar. It's nice, in a way, to have that kinship.]

...I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. Not like I can say shit, I was worried they were gonna retract me when we (sad (gleeful) to see him go). Maybe there's a world out there where you (birds of a feather) set up an ICC or something, go legal, but--

But it's a risk. I can more than understand that. Union, who promises kindness to everyone, would see you as a premier test of that promise. That alone is alienating, beyond what their answer may be.

Yeah, I guess. Still not fair.

You say 'correctional' cycling. [Loulou has, somehow, managed to get right under the nose of the cockpit without much notice, and stares up at the nearest optical sensor-- not the hologram-- with a strange expression. Her irises reflect no light, matte as the hull she stands beside.] You say 'punishment'. These are secondish words, why use them now? What stupidity would that wreak?

Ay! Careful, I'm going to be spot-welding in a second. Step back so I don't blind you, please.

[karrakincavalrycollege]

The Karrakin Cavalry College would like to inform all Kavaliers to be highly cautious regarding several newly identified Ungrateful pattern groups. These frames seem to be made with a crude combination of hijacked milspec gear and repurposed mining equipment.

The first of these is the FSLC Paradisa, a frame modified from the SSC Dusk Wing in an to attempt to taunt our bold soldiers into chasing after it with several hacking tools. Be very careful when engaging this frame, as it contains highly infectious DHIYED and Horus code strains, and may be capable of causing harm to pilots directly.

Up next, we have an absolute monster of a frame, the FSLC Titanis, a lumbering, brutish piece of mining equipment with some similarities to the IPS-N Tortuga capable of utterly shattering through terrain and static objects. It's grown rather famous for being used in a barbaric assault against a Karrkain Palace, which has made it something of an icon of the Ungrateful Movement.

Finally, we have the FSLC Neophron, a scrapped-together offshoot of the IPS-N Drake designed to repurpose defeated frames around it as armor for itself or allies. It seems to be quite skilled at absorbing harm to protect its more cowardly co-conspirators and can take what might be a lethal hit for most frames without much concern.

OOC These are a new set of frames by Katherine Stark, writer of popular 3rd party Supplement Legionnaire, the official module Shadow of the Wolf and the upcoming official spinoff game Lancer: Far-Field! They're available for free through pilot.net currently and have recieved a bit of playtesting already! Currently they aren't a part of anything larger, but the filename "Grave of the Titan" and the shared lore of these frames makes me think that they might be for a module about the ungratefuls. May or may not be an official release in the future, but they look great regardless.

Isn’t saying ‘I’m sure the losers at SCC are hiring’ kinda like saying ‘I’m sure the losers at Lamborghini are hiring’?? They do fancy mechs for rich people don’t they?
