How would the boys react when they're having rough sex with their s/o and they use their safe word but the boys don't hear and keep going making their s/o cry?

ouch.

Taeil: It starts off sweet. Missionary, fingers in hair, lips pressed together but then he hits this spot that earns a pleasured moan out of his s/o and it starts a fire in him as he starts going harder and deeper trying to hit that spot overtime and gets carried away. I think Taeil is usually very attentive to his s/o during sex so if this were to happen he’d feel like he wasn’t doing a good job of looking after them. He’d feel really guilty and angry at himself and quietly mope around the house for a few days not being able to forgive himself. His s/o would also have to reassure him it was an accident and that they forgive him because he wouldn’t be up for sex for a while.

Taeyong: Things can get pretty kinky with this guy and that’s the reason a safe word is in place for him and his s/o. When he looks down and sees them in tears he’s probably going to smirk tbh he thinks he’s so good that they’re crying but then he glances down at their lips and they quiver out a ‘please stop I said [insert safe word]’ and he’d panic and jump off them fast as he could apologising 100 times over and pulling his hair out wondering how he could have done this. He’d just lay with them, stroking their hair and comforting them as they sniff and recover from the pain. He’s hoping this experience won’t put them off this kind of sex in future.

Jaehyun: I mentioned before that he’s a dom, he likes to be in charge but he’s also usually very caring toward his s/o and makes sure they’re enjoying themselves just as much as him. So maybe it was something on his mind or stress from work but he just had to get this negative energy out and when he came home and his s/o was lying on the bed in shorts and a t-shirt he couldn’t help himself. He’d be more rough that usual, pulling them about and pounding into them unforgivingly until he’d hear them screaming at him to stop. He did and once he realised what he’d just done his face would be in his hands, he’s so ashamed of himself. He’d feel like he failed his job as a boyfriend by hurting his s/o and he’d try everything in his power to make it up to them.

Johnny: We cannot deny Johnny is a big boy and like Lucas he might not realise his strength at times. He probable didn’t hear his s/o whimper out their safe word over his grunts as he’s got them in dogs style and slamming into them with everything he’s got but then he sees them flailing their arm around desperately and he slows down to see what’s up and then he realises and oh my god is he going to feel like shit. He’d feel like a monster as he gently tries to apologies and comfort them but is scared to even reach out and touch them after what he’s done. He’d still be apologising about it weeks later.

Yuta: I feel like Yuta is pretty rough by standard so his s/o would know what to expect getting into bed with him and it’s all fun and games usually but this time he’s got his hands around their throat maybe just a little too tight and his eyes glaring down at his s/o as they squirm beneath him. What he doesn’t know is that they’re really trying to shout out that safe word but his grip around their neck is preventing that. Eventually they manage to free a hand and lift it up to start smacking his chest it’s only at this point he lossenes his grip and they gasp for air and tell him what happened. He’d feel bad but relieved he didn’t seriously injure them in anyway. “Maybe we need to make a nonverbal safeword too. Like wink 3 times and I’ll stop?”

Doyoung: Sex with Doyoung is either really passionate and loving or hard and rough and sometimes it’s hard to tell which you’re going to get. So this time his s/o is a bit caught off guard when he enters them harshly and doesn’t give them time to adjust. He’s just going to town enjoying the loud slapping noise of his hips hitting against them. He’s pinning their wrists down not realising his grip is too tight and when he snaps out of his trance and hears them crying out for him to stop he’ll back away and see the red marks on their wrist and would go into a total panic. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!” He’d hold them in his arms until they calmed down, peppering light kisses on their face in-between apologies.

Ten: He’s just pumping away getting all that stress out he’s been keeping inside these past couple days and all is swell until he looks down and sees his s/o with tears in their eyes and he’ll immediately slow down and ask if their okay to which they’ll tell him they had used the safe word and he hadn’t stopped but he would after hearing that and he’d feel super bad about it. He’d wrap them in his arms and give them light kisses everywhere, begging for their forgiveness and asking if they were still in pain and if they needed anything.

Winwin: Oh man. It’s not often that Sicheng gets into a really dominant mood but when he does lord have mercy. He’d be going at it doggy style, thrusting as hard as he could, his nails digging deep into his s/o’s sides leaving marks. He’s all caught up in the moment when he realises his s/o is begging him to stop and he does immediately, pulling out and flipping them over so he can see their face. He’s going to feel like the worst boyfriend ever and might even tear up himself seeing his s/o with watery eyes and in pain. He’s going to be treating them like a prince/princess even more than normal and trying to make it up to them for days after this. He also would be scared to be dominant in bed for a while.

Lucas: I think sometimes Lucas might not even realise his own strength and getting caught up in all the emotions he could easily go much harder than he meant to. He didn’t realise how hard he was thrusting or how rough his hands were being on his s/o’s body. He’d never intend to cause them any pain so when he did he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself. He’d just be sat on the end of the bed staring at his hands wondering how he could let them do something like that. He’s be scared to approach his s/o and not know how to make it up to them but they’d be able to see how truly sorry he was.

Mark: Another one that’s going to freak out and panic. He can’t believe he’d get so carried away that he could do something like that. He thought those screams coming from his s/o were that of pleasure not pain and now that he realises he’d be talking so fast apologising over and over again, wanting to pull his s/o close and comfort them but also scared to lay his hands on them again. “I’m so sorry, I don’t know what happened, I didn’t mean to, oh shit I’m so sorry.” he’d be a mumbling mess and might even shed a few tears of guilt.

Jungwoo: Oh no I think this poor baby would be worried to get super dominant with his s/o as he doesn’t want to hurt them but if they really wanted and insisted he’d give it a go. Well turns out he likes it more than he thought he would and he’s really getting into it. All seems well until he realises the one main thing that he was scared of in the first place has happened. He’s hurt his s/o because he wasn’t paying attention and now he’s also going to be a blubbering mess, whispering apology after apology into their ear as he tends to them and tries to make them more comfortable. It’d put him off trying this again for a while that’s for sure.

[the0ther-side0f-dawn]

Songs that made me cry the firs time i heard them as a baby 13 year old.

I remember listening to it, and it used to make me feel powerful. Now, i listen to it, and it feels empty, like lies. I have heard the contrary too many times. Seen the contrary too many times. Seen people over and over again endorse the contrary too many times.

Also i have grown tired of the message, “noone can love you until you love yourself.”

and lately i have been seeing “you canot love yourself, until you have been shown what love is”

and i want to believe the latter is true. i want to believe that this emptiness i feel is not the result of my own failure to appreciate myself. because appreciating myself is possible the hardest thing anyone could ask me to do. not because i dont deserve to be appreciated, tho sometimes i do doubt this, but because it is really hard to love yourself, when those are your imperfections and your insecurities and all those things you have to see everyday and you have to hear the world talk about like you should be ashamed of them. overtime, when you hear the words “fat” or “ugly” or “undesirable” its your reflection that comes to mind, and not some other image like vernon dursley or donald trump or ugly betty. its not a public or fictional image, but it’s you. which is so deeply personal, and you cannot detach yourself from it.

and the media doesnt help. do you know how many fat characters there are? you go to a con, and find all the fat people, and figure out who’ll they’ll be dressed as. personally, on like a universal level i dont particularly care about men, so i dont know what characters there are in that department, but for women. It’s Ursula. Are there are other characters? maybe. i only ever see Ursula. I was watching the show the other day, and there was a character she was fat, and she was a good friend, and kind person, and she was quiet. i saw myself. and then, yknow what? the longer the story progressed it turns out she was one of the bad guys. So hey, maybe we could stop villifying fat people, that would be nice? i looked up ‘fat cosplay’ images, and on the first page, only 4 of them were canonically fat characters, and most the images there were people making fun of fat people. the canon ones: Ursula. Hulk. Garnet (from Steven Universe). Jade? or is it Jane?- i get those 2 mixed up- (from Homstuck, end even then, HS character’s size is largely up to interpretation, which is great, but im not sure it’s canon, because the way the kids and trolls are portrayed is certainly smaller than a lot of the villains such as the black king, certain members of the felt, lord english & more), but there’s a problem there

and you look to advertisements? p much always skinny women

plus size models? maybe an AUsize 14?if you’re lucky.

plus size clothes in stores? hard to find, and inconsistant. do you know how hard it is to buy bras for example? now when i was 12 i was a 16c, now an 18c. but most stores wont carry 18 in their normal range and you have to go to plus size, and what happens when its plus size? well they start at c-cup but they make the cups waay bigger? why? because they have no idea how larger women’s bodies work.

weight loss? ahaha yeah. my depression is laughing at you.

i mean 100% my depression is the reason i am fat. the reason i gained like 20kg in 8th grade. oh also a shitty mother who threatened me into silence instead of taking my feelings about how much i hate everything seriously. thats another rant.

also on weight loss: sure i have lost 10Kg in the space of a couple months before, in fact ive done it multiple times, but then life gets tough and i start stress eating again, and it all comes back, in a similar time frame. how do i lose it? i just stop eating. i replace a meal with an ice tea or soup. something liquidy, that is mostly water. and i distract myself by playing video games. but you know what? dieting takes time and money. eating healthy takes time and money. when i was in highschool, id eat what my mother gave me. when i work over the summer, i eat a lot of bread because its really easy to make a ham and cheese sandwhich, and bread is really filling, because i often work 5 hours shifts, with an 1hr transit either way, and no break.

and you know what? and if you cant afford the time and money to make good food choices, you can do what i did- just cut food. but that requires a lot of time and personal stamina also.

and then other people exercise. (good luck getting exercise clothes if youre size 16+) and honestly, even just getting any shorts that are suitable?

and going to a gym is embarrassing (because gyms are definitely marked at people who are fit and thin / muscular)

and i think people well then say ‘just lose weight’ forget how often mental health ties into it? youre often speaking to people with depression (low motivation, low energy) and people with anxiety (discomfort, insecure, get panic attacks worrying about how people perceive them) which is super ignorant

sorry i have a lot of thoughts and feelings

“AN ADDICTION UNNOTICED” (9/16/18)

“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” (I Peter 2:11 KJV)

There is great value in listening in a Christian Education setting, whether you are the teacher or one of the students. The dynamics of open discussion become very beneficial. Interaction, open dialogue, produces some consequential and essential insights. That is why in today’s times, where the traditional Sunday morning “Sunday School” and the Sunday evening “Training Union” have been abandoned, I still promote Sunday School for all ages.  Even in the mid-week Bible classes, during the discussions of focal texts, where truths from above and themes for living are told, often someone shares an unexpected thought that had not entered the mind of anyone else in the classroom, including the teacher. For example, a few weeks ago, the head of our Deacon Board made a statement that pointed to an addition that was at the root of all addictions. I thought of it immediately as “an addiction unnoticed.”  The Deacon said, in the context of our discussion, “The problem today is that too many people, even in the church, have the “I Addiction.”  He started providing a variety of examples; a multiplicity of illustrations that showed why many believers cannot present the Lord with the sacrifice of their time, talents, and treasures. “I need to do this first!” “I need to buy this device to keep up with technology.” “I need to find the love of my life.” “I need to handle my business.” “I need to do things that make me happy.” “I believe, but I have some other things that I have to tend to right now.” “I have to get as much sleep as I can.” “I cannot be forgiving like you.” “I have to get my rest.” “I can get that new car if I work overtime all the time.” “I can’t help myself.” One gets addicted to substances because the “I Addiction” calls for a way to satisfy self with a fleeting and non-sustaining joy. One gets addicted to carnal, fleshly desires because the “I Addiction” says, “I can’t do without.” Video games becomes an addiction that starts with the “I Addiction:” “I got to have the latest and the best, whether my income and the addition of the balance in my checkbook matches my “I Addition” desire!  Infidelity, over and over, finds its roots in the “I Addiction!” “I” am going to find happiness wherever happiness lives and the heck with risks, reckless living, and resulting physical and psychological or primary relationship damage.  The “I addiction” is why we need more closets, not just those narrow closets we had as youngsters, but either multiple closets or ginormous walk-in closets. “I” got to look good and “I” got to keep up with the trends.  “I” can’t wear the same thing I wore last week!” Oh, the “I Addiction” is something else, isn’t it! It is an addiction not only unnoticed, but often untreated!  Think about it more when you get back from church this morning, that is unless the “I Addiction” caused you to stay home without an excuse. And then, start thinking how you can place a “Christ Addiction” in place of your “I Addiction” as you start a new week!

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Galatians 2:20 NASB)

Still committed to the climb,

Down Goes Brown Grab Bag: Trash Talking, Boring Senators and Cookie Phil

Welcome to Sean McIndoe's weekly grab bag, where he writes on a variety of NHL topics. You can follow him on Twitter. Check out the Biscuits podcast with Sean and Dave Lozo as they discuss the events of the week.

Three stars of comedy

The third star: Team Italy scores a goal at the World Championships—Um, guys? I don't think you're hockeying correctly.

The second star: Jared Boll is laughing with you, not at you—The Predators ended up getting the last laugh in game three, but Boll's reaction to seeing his team take the lead after he drew an instigator penalty was…interesting.

The first star: David Poile would like you to stop playing X-Man—Be sure to stick around for the update.

Outrage of the week

The issue: Ryan Johansen called out Ryan Kesler after game two, accusing the Ducks' agitator of dirty play, saying that "it sucks when you have to pull a stick out of your groin after every shift," and adding that Kesler's "family and friends watching him play, I don't know how you cheer for a guy like that." The outrage: He's not wrong. But he's not supposed to say it. Is it justified: This is the kind of thing that we typically see a few times every postseason. Things happen on the ice, tensions run high, and eventually the unthinkable happens: Somebody actually says something interesting.

At that point, everyone falls into one of two camps. The first is the old school, where you're shocked and offended that anyone would say anything ever. This is the side that believes that if you have a problem, you deal with it on the ice. A small handful of guys, like Jonathan Toews and Jaromir Jagr, have been given a hall pass to occasionally express an opinion, but everyone else is expected to stay down and stay quiet.

The other side thinks that guys like Johansen speaking their minds is great. Athletes in every other sports do it, and when they do it inevitably it sparks more interest among fans. Surely the hockey world, with its notoriously boring personalities and cliched sound bites, could use a little more post-game bad blood.

The problem with Johansen's mini-rant is that it landed pretty much right in the middle of the two sides. He said something beyond "get pucks in deep", so the old-timers are mad at him. But as far as trash talk attempts go, this one didn't really land. The bit about family and friends was a nice touch, but other than that, the whole thing sounded a lot more like a guy whining about not getting the calls than anything else.

The fact that Johansen said so little and still drew the ire of the traditionalists is pretty much all you need to know as to why we so rarely hear players say anything at all. If we're going to have this argument every few weeks, here's hoping the next guy to speak up actually goes full pipe bomb and makes it worth our while.

Obscure former player of the week

With the Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft just a few weeks away, it's fitting that we're being treated to a Western Conference final that features two relatively new teams in the Predators and Ducks. So today, let's bestow obscure player honors on a player that links those two teams and their expansion histories: Russian goaltender Mikhail Shtalenkov.

Shtalenkov became an international name in 1992, when he was the starting goalie on the gold-medal winning Unified Team at the Olympics. He was picked by the (then) Mighty Ducks a year later in the fifth round of their first ever entry draft, a few spots ahead of future all-star Miroslav Satan. Already 27 years old when he was drafted, he made his NHL debut that season, playing ten games for the Ducks. He'd see part-time duty with the team for the next four years, playing a career-high 40 games in 1997-98. He went back to the Olympics in 1998, winning silver as Russia's starter.

That same year, the NHL welcomed its 27th team when the Predators were born. Nashville took five goalies in that year's expansion draft, including Mike Richter (yes, really), and future starter Tomas Vokoun. They also took Shtalenkov, making him the first ever link between the Predators and Ducks.

Sadly, Shtalenkov wouldn't get to work on his Hockey Tonking, as he never played a game in Nashville. He was part of a five-player deal with the Oilers, where he'd share starting duties with Bob Essensa before another trade to Phoenix. He'd last 15 games as a Coyote before another trade, this time to Florida for Sean Burke. At the end of the 1999-2000 season, he headed back to Russia to finish his pro career.

Shtalenkov later went into coaching. A few years ago, he was briefly part of a weird news story in which he was apparently reported missing by his wife, but later turned out to be fine.

Debating the issues

This week's debate: The Ottawa Senators are two wins away from the Stanley Cup final. But are they a boring team?

In favor: Good lord, yes. Game one on Saturday was nearly unwatchable. Game two was only marginally better. Off the ice they make for a great story, but when it's time to play the games this team can be tear-your-eyes out dull.

Opposed: Well, hold on. You're just cherry-picking a few bad games. They sure weren't boring when they went out and blew the doors off the Penguins in the first period on Wednesday. And what about that 6-5 OT thriller against the Rangers? The Senators aren't boring all the time.

In favor: Sure, but "not boring all the time" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. So sure, congratulations on having played one entertaining period in the first three games of the series. You're still boring.

Opposed: But there's more to an entertaining game than goals. Just about all of Ottawa's games during this run have been close, with seven of them going to overtime. Not to go all hockey hipster on you, but I'll take a tight 2-1 game over a sloppy 7-3 one any time. And besides, even if they are dull, who cares? They're winning. Like Bobby Ryan said earlier this week, "ratings be damned".

In favor: And he's right, from Ottawa's perspective. Nobody is blaming them for playing a system that works. This league has spent 20 years watching this style take over the game and never does anything about it, so good for the Senators if they can exploit that. They're even starting to embrace the whole "boring" thing, which is sort of cool. But none of that means that the rest of us want to watch.

Opposed: That's fair. But still, any team that has Erik Karlsson can't be all…

Senators fan: EXCUSE ME BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT OVERHEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT MY TEAM SO I AM HERE TO YELL ABOUT THAT.

In favor: Whoa.

Opposed: Hey man, can you turn the volume down a little bit?

Senators fan: NO SIR I CANNOT AS OTTAWA FANS ARE VERY SCREECHY RIGHT NOW.

In favor: Yeah, we've all noticed. But do you really have to interrupt us in the middle of…

Senators fan: YOU HAVE SAID SOMETHING BAD ABOUT THE SENATORS AND I AM HERE TO THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM ABOUT IT.

Opposed: I'm not sure we even said anything all that bad.

In favor: Yeah, we all acknowledge they're a good team on a great Cinderella run. It's just that they're kind of boring sometimes, and most fans seem to prefer…

Senators fan: LEAVE MY WONDERFUL PERFECT TEAM ALONE OR I WILL HAVE TO FIGHT YOU.

Opposed: Dude, chill out. Your team is in the conference final. People are going to talk about them. You guys are going to need to be able to handle some occasional criticism.

In favor: Yeah, seriously. You Senator fans have generally been pretty cool over the years, but during this playoff run you've all gone super-sensitive about every little thing and it's getting kind of weird.

Opposed: Maybe just take a few deep breaths and see if that…

Senators fan: THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS HAVEN'T WON A STANLEY CUP SINCE 1967.

Opposed: Yes but… wait, what does that have to do with anything?

Senators fan: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT NO SENATORS FAN CAN GO MORE THAN FIVE SENTENCES WITHOUT MENTIONING IT OR WE DIE.

In favor: I always wondered what was up with that.

Senators fan: IF YOU DIDN'T VOTE ERIK KARLSSON FOR THE HART TROPHY YOU HATE PUPPIES.

Opposed: That's not true.

Senators fan: WE ARE CANADA'S TEAM NOW AND EVERYONE MUST LIKE US. THE PRIME MINISTER MADE A LAW.

In favor: That isn't how things work.

Senators fan: CHRIS NEIL FOR CONN SMYTHE. BOB COLE IS MEAN AND BAD. ALFIE DIDN'T MEAN TO SHOOT THAT PUCK AT NIEDERMAYER.

Opposed: Yeah, sure, we get it, but it's… wait, that was five sentences without bringing up the Leafs for no reason.

Senators fan: I… WAIT… I LOST COUNT AND … [explodes into fine mist, spraying stale Beaver Tail shrapnel everywhere]

Opposed: You have to admit, that last part was kind of exciting.

In favor: It really was.

The final verdict: This entire section is all Toronto's fault somehow.

Classic YouTube clip breakdown

Hey, speaking of the Maple Leafs…

One of the running themes of the Senators/Penguins series has been the budding rivalry between Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf, who mixed it up several times on Wednesday night. This is, of course, not the first time their paths have crossed. The two were the building blocks for Brian Burke's stint as GM in Toronto, and came to symbolize all the good and bad of that particular era. Eventually, both were traded away. But for several years, they were easily the two best known Toronto Maple Leafs in the world.

So today, let's travel back five years to watch as the two stars share a light-hearted bonding moment between teammates.

It's January 2012, and the NHL is in Ottawa for all-star weekend. Phaneuf and Kessel have both made the team, so they're in town to do a little pre-game promotion work. Standard stuff. I'm sure it will be fun.

Phaneuf is doing a sit-down, and our clip begins when he somehow hears Kessel approaching behind him. You're expecting me to make some sort of lazy "Phil Kessel is so fat you can hear him walking" joke, but I'm above that. There will be no weak and tired Kessel conditioning punchlines here.

"Oh, he's eating a cookie!" Um, OK, maybe Phaneuf didn't get the no-conditioning-jokes memo.

Phaneuf invites Kessel to join him for the interview, dropping a "You just interrupted it" in the process. Did that seem a little angry to you? It did to me. That Phaneuf is such a card, when he decides to playfully tease a teammate he really commits to the character.

"We better get you on the bike if you're going to keep eating these cookies, that's your fourth one today." See… playful? I think this is playful. Please tell me this is playful.

Kessel tries to claim that it's only his first cookie, at which point Phaneuf goes full-on dad mode while busting him with a detailed list of times and locations. I was fully expecting him to explain that he's not mad, just disappointed.

Anyway, now that Kessel's been thoroughly cookie-shamed by his friend(?), I'm sure we'll get to the friendly banter.

See, here we go. Kessel relates a funny story about being asked who'll choose the music for the all-star locker room. "I told them you." See, that's nice! "And I said you're the worst DJ in the league." Oh.

"Hey, you can go get your ipod," Phaneuf replies. "I know you're extremely cheap, but…"

OK, I'm going to just jump in right here. Do…. do Phaneuf and Kessel hate each other? I mean, do they legitimately want to fight right now? I think they might.

Just for context, Phaneuf being the Maple Leafs' locker room DJ was kind of a thing in Toronto for a while after Burke somehow used it as a way to praise his leadership skills. So this is Kessel coming in and just firing directly at the thermal exhaust port. These guys are not messing around.

By the way, can we give Kessel some credit for holding his own here? He's never been viewed as an especially intimidating guy, but he's pulling off a pretty decent "I'm going to stand right over you and keep eating my cookie and what are you going to do about it?" move here.

That face where you realize your fun sit-down is about to turn into a fist fight.

A flustered Phaneuf tries to resume the interview, but Kessel is still hovering semi-menacingly in the background. The interviewer asks if he'll be in the hardest shot competition, at which point Kessel comes storming back for more, asking if "You mean that muff of a shot?" I don't even know what that means, but it sounds bad.

At this point, Phaneuf calmly gets up, grabs Kessel in a headlock, drags him down the hallway and throws him down that escalator.

Wait, I'm being told I imagined that. What Phaneuf actually does is offer up a plaintive "Phil is all over me today. I don't know why… he's angry today". Which is probably the safe play. Would you want to mess with this guy?

I feel like we have to score that bout for Kessel. Phaneuf got the early takedown and landed some shots, but ran out of gas at the end and left himself open. I'm going split decision for Phil, but I'm willing to hear other viewpoints.

By the way, you may be wondering how we got this clip of the Maple Leafs' two most important players coming to within a few seconds of roundhouse kicking each other in the temple. Did some fan film it with their phone and upload it to social media? Is it security cam footage that the hotel didn't dispose of properly? Oh, no, it was uploaded by the official Maple Leafs YouTube account. And then they gave it this title:

The 2011-12 Maple Leafs missed the playoffs for the seventh straight season, in case you were wondering. No idea how that happened, with all that dressing room chemistry.

Epilogue: They eventually made up.
