I've Created a Monster

So, I took the, maybe ill-advised, plunge, and told the dude I've been seeing for the past three months that I'm into tickling

And it turned out fucking great, I still cannot believe my luck in this area

Apologies if I rant for a bit. I have been living out my dreams for the past couple of weeks and need to share it with someone (outside of a few people already in the community who I've already told) or I will explode. It gets a tad TMI at the end, so I put that bit under the cut for people's comfort. So beware of that in advance

So a bit of background. I had been seeing this dude for about a month and a half when we got on the subject of kinks. At first just kind of generally discussing them, and eventually getting into what we're into. And I admitted that I had one that was a bit weird, not only because it was unorthodox, but also because I had a huge amount of trouble actually saying what it was, which of course spiked his curiosity. But he was really chill about it and didn't push, but there kept being tickly moments that kept popping up naturally in the relationship, none of which were lasting longer than a couple seconds. As such, mostly out of frustration at the brevity of these moments, I mustered up the courage at 3am to finally confess.

He was quiet for a bit and mostly just held me (I think because I definitely looked as anxious as I felt--I also have to give him props for having patience during the three fucking minutes it took me to confess because I was working up the courage to simply say the Word). Then he started asking me how long I'd known that I was into it, why I was into it, what appealed to me about tickling, things along that line, all of which I stumbled my way through answering. He then proceeded to inform me that he didn't think I was weird, or that liking tickling was weird, and that he had been expecting much worse and thought it was kind of cute.

After that, tickling started cropping up more in the relationship. It took a while to explain that I was totally okay with more intense tickling and that me squirming away and sometimes asking him to stop were reflexes that should be ignored (it was somewhat endearing how he would immediatelly stop to make sure I was good, if somewhat frustrating sometimes), but he eventually got it. He even briefly pinned me down once, a move he has yet to repeat, but eventually I will get up the courage to ask him to.

I had told him that I was into both doing and receiving the tickling, but also that he was under no pressure to get tickled if he didn't want to. But after a while we were cuddling when he said, quote, "I think I'm actually into this tickling thing. It feels kind of nice whenever you do it to me, and I do love how much it gets to you." And then gave me permission to tickle him, which was way more than I was hoping for

Although he is able to control his reactions and just stay still for it which is baffling to me ("well if I moved, it would stop happening??" yeah?? I know?? But most people can't do that shit 🤨)

Guys. He started looking into tools and shit. This man is researching into the community. Came to me all excited like a dork, talking about feathers and toothbrushes and the fucking Wartenberg Wheel and how he thinks that he'd may be be down to include bondage with tickling stuff (which I'd mentioned I'd be into before). He was all, "I also discovered that some people are into tickle torture, isn't that wild?" Meanwhile I'm over here like, "yeah, it is wild, isn't it, imagine that haha"

He's suggested safe words on his own too, worked out boundaries,,,,

Anyways. He's embraced this way more than I can image and I am living the dream

TMI under cut! Avert your eyes if shmexy things make you uncomfy!

He's also started tickling me while we fuck (and sometimes when he goes down on me) and my fellow people of tumblr. It makes everything so insanely intense. I have had to be like, "babe, I love this, this is great, but I cannot concentrate on any coherent goal if you keep this up".

Also definitely discovered that my ass is ticklish during this process and it is a fact that he will not let go. Not that I am complaining 😏

#tickling #personal #spicy #tickle moments #its been wild man #the most i was hoping for when i got with someone was to maybe occasionally engage in moments of tickling the same as any other couple #definitely not this #i am living out my wildest fantasies over here #he could definitely probably go more intense than he does go but i also havent talked to him about that at all as im working up the courage #hes also obviously fine saying The Word and thinks its weird but endearing that i cant say it #he does think its weird that im so weird about this #because hes so intensely okay about anything he discovers hes into #but he says he finds it cute so ill take the win #the boo ❤️

listen, listen

I know this is gonna be a controversial take, but the more I think about it, the more obsessed I am with the idea of Varric voluntarily helping The Crimson Knight (especially in a worldstate where Hawke was left in the Fade).

I’ve talked before about how I view Meredith as the type of person who is motivated by her desire to protect her own at all costs, and how this leads her down the path of Well-Intentioned Extremism, and culminating in becoming the embodiment of the uh, Knight Templar trope.

And Varric is obviously motivated by his motivation to protect Hawke: he shielded them from the Inquisition, and when push came to shove and he was forced to expose Hawke to the Inquisition anyway, it can result in Hawke’s death. The Inquisition fails Hawke, who is basically Varric’s moral compass — without Hawke’s influence, he defaults to siding with the templars at the end of DA2.

Most of the Inquisitor’s inner circle scatters over Thedas and Varric returns to Kirkwall. Varric loves Kirkwall; he’s a Kirkwaller through and through: even though he’s never envisioned nor wanted a life of politics, he becomes the fucking viscount, because there’s nobody else left who wants one drop of the poisoned chalice of that role.

And Kirkwall is a city that has always been dependent on its templars for protection. They are the city’s military force, and the city is noticeably weaker once the templars abandon it — depending on world state, it can lose a significant portion of its territory to one of Varric’s former companions. If someone he knew and trusted can do that to Kirkwall, who else might take advantage of Kirkwall in its weakened state?

Varric is isolated and alone, away from anyone who might be able to help him see the situation in a different light: his main support network is Aveline and Seneschal Bran, neither of whom are known for their ardent support of mage rights. They’re doing their best to clear Kirkwall of the impacts of the war, of the red lyrium, and even though they’re doing their best to avoid exposure, being around that much red lyrium cannot be healthy. Slowly, the paranoia and increased penchant for violence settle in. It becomes impossible to resist spending more time around the substance — and sometimes, it talks! And it sounds like Meredith Stannard.

Varric is desperate and scared and has lost everyone he has ever loved. The Inquisition has been downsized or disbanded, and his only purpose is to serve his city: the same intention with which Meredith started, the same intention and fears that the red lyrium feeds upon in them both.

Varric fears becoming his parents: people who failed to protect him because they were too caught up in their past mistakes.

But sometimes, as people, in our attempts to avoid our fears, we end up barreling into them headfirst instead.

#do i actually think bioware is gonna give us a varric tethras corruption arc? no #but the narrative parallels are there and i just think they’re neat! #and like i never expected in my wildest dreams that meredith stannard would have actual plot relevance in 2022 so!! #and back when dragon age exodus the da2 expansion was still being considered #varric was meant to die at the end 🤔🤔🤔 #tbh i don’t expect this to crop up in da:d bc there is SO much to cover and doing the writing for a world state with alive pro-mage hawke #would be tricky #but that’s why we have fanfiction #bless transformative fiction for letting us explore endless possibilities outside of the limitations of commercial interests!! #also emo about how both varric and meredith carry so much GRIEF about their families #and grief can cause people to do dangerous things #and when that’s coupled with positions of power …! #this is also tangentially a meta about the intersection of trauma and how power corrupts #thedas is not an environment conducive to healing lol #anyway i will continue to spin these thoughts around like a plate in a microwave #da absolution spoilers #dragon age #meredith stannard #knight commander meredith #varric tethras #dragon age meta #asha meta #asha’s villain manifesto #also warning that the trope links lead to tv tropes lol #bc I’m tired of people acting like fictional characters (vehicles for a narrative) are real people (capable of causing real world harm)

I just realized that as of this week I've officially had purple hair for 10 years

18 years old vs 28 years old

#technically it was accidentally pink for a couple months later in 2013 #but other than that it's been a full decade of purple #the wildest part is how little i've actually changed #i even still own that first outfit

ppl will literally sort ships into regimented top/bottom categories based on tallest/shortest and then not think about it again

#like its so common but you actually say jt out loud its ridiculous #ive never thought you needed to really sort ppl into regimented top/bottom catagories except occasionally when its funny #but like. if u go into a new fandom #you see a couple ppl are shipping #if you know the heights of these characters in the source material you can predict the fandom opinion #and theyll sort them into boxes #AND THEYLL KEEP THEM IN BOXES BASED ON TALLEST AND SHORTEST AND THEN USE THAT AS 'EVIDANCE' OF WHOSE TOP AND BOTTOM #USUALLY THIS WOULDNT EVEN BE A THINK I THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT BUT THEN YOU SEE THE ABSOLUTE WILDEST OPINIONS #THAT YOUVE EVER SEEN #AND ITS SO CONSISTENT ACROSS SO MANY FANDOMS ITS. ITS SO WEIRD #shark talks

Had a Fall dream last night...idk what it is but despite the summer heat and the green leaves it feels like the **vibe** is already subtly here. It's like it really wants you to know it's on its way.

Hallowtide is gonna be interesting.

Finished watching this discussion about on stage chemistry/kissing/intimacy (which @hamish-linklater-btc​ posted on Instagram - thank you so much for finding/sharing!!) and it is so freaking fascinating to me.

Hamish has good thoughts and funny stories as usual, but to be honest I found the three women to be the most interesting to listen to, particularly Esther Perel, the woman in the middle, who is a couples/sexuality psychologist.

I kept pausing and going back to relisten to literally everything she said because every sentence blew my mind. (“In sexuality and in kissing lies two opposites, disgust and delight, depending on how it takes place.” “That’s why people go and find other lovers in the first place. Not so much because they’re looking for another person, they’re looking for another self.” And when she says something about how a long successful marriage is really like a series of different marriages with the same two people. Like 🤯. This woman’s brain is huge.) I’m now devouring a bunch of Esther’s articles and podcasts because she’s so incredibly good at articulating aspects of emotions and relationships that I know I’ve felt, but I’ve never known how to put into words.

Actors, writers, and psychologists talking about intimacy together is something I have craved because to me those three fields of study are so necessarily intertwined, but for some reason aren’t often brought together for discussions and things like this. I know people are worried about embarrassing themselves discussing it, or that they’re going to take the magic out of it and people won’t find the scenes as sexy to watch anymore....but the psychology of it!! Is so!! INTERESTING!!

#being a fan hamish linklater has been and continues to be the wildest ride #he's like a gateway drug to all these other topics i've been interested in for years but haven't been able to find out much about #a couple things of note regarding this discussion though: #the sound is super inconsistent depending on who's talking #so be prepared to adjust the volume often #also one of the audience questions at the end is a kinda weird and irrelevant question about child abuse? #and the psychologists do a great job of interpreting it in a way that is more appropriate to the discussion at hand #but it is odd #so be prepared to skip over that bit if you feel like you need to #(question starts to be asked at the 1:01:08ish mark) #hamish linklater #esther perel #kathleen chaufant #sarah ruhl #anthony charuvastra #on kisses and chemistry #acting #writing #sexuality #intimacy #kissing #psychology

#sometimes when i get sad or irritated ill think about how when i was working behind the bar at komos for a couple months #the last time i went home for a couple months #&this guy would come in every night i worked&get so fucking wrecked i needed to drive him home #&the last time i did this it was bc he asked me for 'my strongest shot' so i gave him a four horseman&he basically died #&i was bitching about it to security on my way out the door-- to drive him home. again.-- &our security guy was like #'you know he really likes you. thats why he keeps getting so drunk&making you drive him home.' #&i was basically like 'fucking and? how is this impressive?' #&he was like-- I KID YOU NOT-- 'well you know. he's a cop. so he's a good guy.' #&i laughed so fucking hard that he didnt even know what to say&then refused to drive his drunk cop friend home. #i never saw him again. :)♡ the end. #ive worked at two different cop bars in my life&the stories from those places specifically are always so insane #but the wildest parts are always the cops hitting on me like i dont wish literal death upon them&all their cohorts. #... anyway i saw the footage of that cop talking about that woman being struck&killed by a fucking pig #&its just a good time as always to remember that all cops are bastards&if anyone should be gauging the worth of human life #it shouldnt be a farm animal who rolls in its own shit that learned how to put on a uniform&pull a trigger at civilians. ♡

Very important question: would Shiv and Kim be friends?

i imagine they meet when one of shiv's girlboss powerplays backfires spectacularly and she gets stuck overseeing the expansion of Waystar Parks into albuquerque. it's a boondoggle project meant to get shiv out of the way and humiliate her a little at the same time, which every "real" person knows, including shiv, so even before her first step into the 90 degree dry new mexico heat, she's already pissed she has to spend the next couple months in "sorry con, the middle of buttfuck nowhere". (of course, by "spend the next couple months" she means a couple days each week. they've still got the pj's, she's not an animal.) but all of that disappates when she meets with schweikart and cokely's liason: kimberly "no middle name" wexler. the big guns with a ponytail.

obviously, shiv succumbs to well-documented "i've worked with kim wexler once and now i'm deeply in lesbians with her" affliction

on the other hand, kim would absolutely despise Shiv LOL. Shiv is another obnoxious nepotism kid she's gotta deal with to keep the lights on. of course, while they're working together, Kim's the picture of professionalism - extremely competent, detail oriented, Knows Her Shit. but at the end of the day, she comes home to jimmy and complains about how dealing with waystar is such a shitshow over takeout pad thai.

but, maybe shiv leverages her old political connections to clear up a legal headache and the firm goes out for drinks at new mexico's swankiest bar to celebrate. for some reason (kim), shiv is also there, and they end up talking over drinks. and i think kim would recognize shiv's ruthlessness, her poorly suppressed rage, and resonate with it. in that slant of light, there's a world where shiv is waiting in the cold for someone to pick her up, where she walks home alone anyway.

but then shiv would step on a wexler landmine by insulting jimmy while coming onto her like "c'mon really? mr. clown factory misprint over there? i know abq isn't exactly new york, but you can do better than knockoff atticus fuck, trust me" with her classic Alligator Smirk and the moment would shatter. One way ticket to the Giselle St. Claire Shitlist.

anyway, a month later the waystar theme park project is officially shelved for reasons brushed under the rug and shiv never steps foot in new mexico again

#sorry this ask really activiated my insanity #i just think kim is too aligned with the little guys of the world to really be 'friends' with any of the roys #grudging respect with a core of antipathy is the closest i can get her to shiv #in my wildest dreams they have a tomgreg dynamic where shiv is so so so obsessed meanwhile kim: 'that's ms. roy from work (derogatory)' #btw shiv knows jimmy because connor calls him up every couple months for unhinged legal advice #they met after jimmy's billboard stunt in s2 connor was in the oil millionares house just hanging out #one more: kevin wartell roleplay scene but jimmy is shiv instead #j rambles #shiv roy #bcs #succession #better call saul #kim wexler #why did i write 300 words of kimshiv fanfic at 2 in the morning #um. shut up
