A 33 yo straight cis-male with a major hypno/MC kink in LA. Consent is key y’all. Under 18 begone! Liberal, poly. mbd=mind body dichotomy bc that’s my real kink
I'm working on a survey that looks at bdsm dynamics specifically. Here's my list of items so far, but I need help making sure I'm not missing anything. Any nuances I should add? Clarifications? More topics? Moods I'm failing to ask about? etc. ?
@sleepy___head Reading episode guide summaries, mc or related such things are all over this show (I remember the werewolf episode made me feel weird too)
One wonders if I liked it so much because of the MC or vice versa, I really don’t know. I watched in reruns when I was ~7-8 25yrs ago haha
@sleepy___head Core memory unlocked lol, wow. I remember loving this show but totally forgot all the MC
You posted the commercial, but also the pilot sort of has serial recruitment/tradwification/drugging themes iirc
Oh S1 finale has a supposed corrupting MC metal album (twist: not really).
I really think more people in the hypno/mc community should know about/read "On Self-Delusion and Bounded Rationality" because I think it is a non-erotic almost horror story that I think probably folks'll find smashes many of their buttons nevertheless. https://t.co/hEzejkx2ys
@CharmedHypno Doesn’t seem that you find out what the conference hotel is before you pay to register? There’s some possibility I may go but partly I want to know what lodging at the con hotel will cost.
@GleefulAbandon@Hypno_Harlequin@h_sleepingirl Looking back I actually do both begin and end that one dark story with an explicit disclaimer that I, the author, am not a monster even though I have such a fantasy, lol. 🤷♂️ Not sure that that’s any better but at least it’s not in-fiction moral preening. https://t.co/f85OvUGtgW
@GleefulAbandon@Hypno_Harlequin@h_sleepingirl That’s often my go to move for things I’ve written on tumblr (though I have one where I get twisty w it & that’s a favorite of mine)
But I too don’t actually like it & think it undermines the eroticism of the fantasy qua fantasy, it’s a function of this desire to morally cleanse
@GleefulAbandon@Hypno_Harlequin@h_sleepingirl ^ plausible way to do the reassurance thing but in a fun way, but (here we go!) you do need to make sure you do this sort of thing carefully so as not to discourage safeword use.
I can’t not write that! It’s much too scary not to, lol. Yeesh.
@GleefulAbandon@Hypno_Harlequin@h_sleepingirl “You’re helpless, caught in my trap and won’t ever be able to break free.
…
Well unless you use your safeword.
But I don’t think you will, because you need to be broken as badly as I need to break you. And isn’t it delicious to know that, in a sense, you did this to yourself.”
@GleefulAbandon@Hypno_Harlequin@h_sleepingirl I’ve written short fic/posts on like tumblr and the like and almost always feel the need to do this, even though I have a disclaimer on the blog. Or when describing fantasies often. There is definitely a feeling of needing to like constantly check/reassure I’m not a monster, haha
Finally read Go Down Gamblin’ by @h_sleepingirl and it was fantastic! Clearly super personal, fantastic emotional sadism, corruption, just great.
I bought like ~everything they’ve written last week (studying to try hypnotizing my partner!) and loving everything so far!
Interested in possibly leveraging the concept of determinism (specifically hard determinism) in an induction / trancey language. Basically undermining the feeling of having control, responsibility, etc by referencing determinist and eliminativist ideas.
Concerned re bleed over.
Guiding someone into trancey headspace by talking about how things are inevitable, they have no real free will, control is an illusion, perhaps consciousness itself is an illusion, etc. Hot idea! But could have negative bleed over, ie reinforcing external locus of control etc.
@RingleaderLucy Certainly seems that way to me. Mind control has a much broader potential space (at least fictionally), but hypnosis certainly seems to fit under it fairly comfortably for me.
