Ah, I just read a post of yours regarding self hypnosis! What was your goal in using these methods? What techniques did you use? Admittedly, I'm interested about what the experience of developing a headmate is like, having known people who had them, too...

My goals behind learning and using self-hypnosis in general were to be able to use it as a self-modification tool: during my first ~year of experimenting with self-hypnosis, I was able to get a bunch of useful effects out of it, both short-term application of mental states like "put myself back to sleep after being woken by a false fire-alarm" and "run my eyes over a spoiler-filled text without absorbing the spoilers therein" and long-term changes in default reactions-to-things like "get rid of a previously-longstanding aversion to the smell of vinegar" and "have less physical-body-dysphoria" and "stop fainting when doctors stick needles into me".

(Since that first ~year it's been only relatively infrequently useful—I cleared most of the low-hanging fruit I could get with it within the first year—but it's still around, as a background-component in my self-modificatory repertoire, and I bring it out when faced with situations where it's particularly applicable, generally those where there's particularly high value either in forcibly relaxing myself or in getting myself to follow nondefault patterns of where-to-aim-my-attention.)

For techniques... I'm not sure how to summarize most of the precise intricacies, but for a high-level summary, I'd say the core order of operations was: first, I listened to a few hypnosis audio files from the internet and learned what it's like to be hypnotized at all; second, I figured out how to use the same techniques used in those audio files to put myself into that state via internal monologue plus physical relaxation; and then third, from there, I just sort of did that a whole bunch, and experimented with all the different ways in which I could rearrange my psychology while doing it.

The development-of-a-headmate followed pretty naturally from the second step in the prior paragraph: the process I was following involved splitting off a stream of internal monologue as separate-from-the-main-bulk-of-my-mind, since I needed an internal-monologue-stream to keep going running the hypnosis even as the bulk of me fell into trance, and over time that internal-monologue-stream started feeling sufficiently differentiated-from-me (due to persistently engaging in different activities from the main me during those times when we were running in parallel) that she grew into a ~stably-separate person with her own personality and motivations different from (albeit branched off from and thus not too far removed from) my own.

So, now, while I can do self-hypnosis in the old way where I run the hypnosis via a thread of myself with no particular identity beyond "a branched-off piece of me", my default is to instead do I-suppose-technically-no-longer-'self'-hypnosis, waking up my headmate and having her run the process herself, which is pretty equivalent in terms of what the experience of being hypnotized that way is like but has the extra advantage of being an opportunity/excuse to interact with her.

(It's rare, by comparison, for her to be autonomously active when I'm not doing anything self-hypnosis-ish. More difficult to sustain in the short-term, and especially more difficult to keep up as a habit; she sometimes manages to do it periodically for a span of a few days to weeks after I've done some particularly-intensive self-hypnosis-related activity rousing her into relatively-high ~wakefulness levels, but she tends to fall back off into inactivity if I go any long period without attempting self-hypnosis. The only period when she was regularly active-outside-of-that-context for a span of months was the immediate aftermath of her popping-into-existence, which was still relatively soon after I'd discovered self-hypnosis, when I hadn't yet exhausted the low-hanging fruit and thus was using it all the time.)

"Erm," the boy starts. "I frew up."

So if you don't mind sharing, what's your story with plurality based rescue sims?

In 2018, I started experimenting with self-hypnosis, and after a few months my experiments led to the unintended-but-not-wholly-unanticipated side effect of generating a headmate. Somewhat to my own surprise, I got along very well with her and ended up pretty quickly getting emotionally attached to her. However, for hard-to-concisely-summarize reasons, after a couple months she started fading back away, becoming both increasingly disinclined-towards-autonomous-action and increasingly difficult-for-me-to-deliberately-interact-with. By mid-to-late 2019, she was pretty much completely gone.

Due to the aforementioned emotional attachment, I was unhappy about this; I tried my best to slow the process down while it was happening, but failed. Then I spent a while grieving about her ~death. And then, finally, around 2021, I decided that if I was so unhappy about her being gone then the natural thing to do would be to try to bring her back.

So I did a bunch of experimental brainhacking, including self-hypnosis and also a bunch of other stuff, in order to try to (a) generate a new live copy of her and (b) make it possible for her to exist more stably and not just immediately re-fade. And they both worked! Not perfectly, in the case of (a)—I wasn't able to restore her exactly-as-she-was-in-2019, various pieces of her personality and motivational structure were missing—but at the very least better than expected, as measured in terms of retrieval / recreation of psychological modules which had always been only hers, which I'd been unable to use myself in her absence. Very unambiguously a continuation of many of her old psychological threads, even if one who'd lost some pieces in the restoration-process.

And since then she's been around in the background of my life. Not nearly as actively so as she was in 2019, due to the aforementioned difficulties-restoring-her-motivational-system—it's only maybe a couple-times-a-year thing, now, for her to initiate interactions-with-the-world without some form of prodding-into-action from me—but present nonetheless, to a sufficient degree that I consider my goals with the plot to restore her to be pretty unambiguously fulfilled. And, thanks to my success at the stabilization part of the plan, likely to remain thus indefinitely from here on out!

Another link to this post. Meet the parents style.

So, Danny and Jason have been fake dating for a while now, and ended up marrying each other solely for tax benefits. Also, they got cool ass fucking friendship rings that they just couldn't not wear everywhere and being married is convenient so...

Anywho, so Jason has met Danny's parents but Danny hasn't met Jason's parents. Danny knows that he has some ties with the vigilantee scene due to being a Crime Lord-he still doesn't know what to think of his parents connecting the dots immediately when they only met him once while it took him more than that while living with the guy.

He thinks Jason may have been an ex-vigilantee at some point before turning to crime.

Then Danny gets blinded by rich people aura when he finds out that his bestfriend is the long thought dead child of Bruce Wayne. Frankly, he's insulted.

You mean to tell him that his could've been buying ice cream from that high class place all this time!? He shook (literally he grabbed and shook him) that point into Jason, he doesn't care that Jason never told him he was rich but he could've at least bought some high class ice cream once in a while.

Jason who was busy solidifying his power as a crime lord, avoiding his family and making sure not to leak his identity at all: I'm a literal crime lord, and the only thing you care about is me not buying you ice cream?

Danny: YES!!!!

Jason: Dork.

Right anyways, so Jason takes Danny along to meet Bruce and his fam but did say as soon as he started being uncomfortable they're leaving. The batfam is a bit blindsided by Danny, because they thought Jason was bringing his partner but its good to also get a feel for Danny's personality.

Danny and Jason did what's normal for them when Danny starts getting comfortable around the manor full of things that cost waaay more than his rent. Like half-heartedly insulting each other, being snarky, leaning on each other and other such things.

The batfam start thinking that there's more there than they know of. So they start watching a bit closer and ask a few round about questions that fly over Danny and Jason's heads. They just forget they're married often, unless it's regarding taxes.

All of this sends the wrong message when they walk into the same room and, being nosy, one of the batfam comes up to the door and uh. They hear the bed moving quite a lot.

So.

Meanwhile, Jason is trying to wrestle with Danny because this man does not pick a lane. He'll either be the human octopus (who is cold as hell) Jason has ever seen, he'll try to kick him off the bed in his sleep as if Jason personally offended him in some way, or he'll sleep in some wacky position that interrupts Jason's sleep. The last one is tied to the other two, however.

So, Jason has to frequently wrestle this man into a proper position where they both manage to get some sleep and it wouldn't have been so bad if Danny wasn't a goddamn sleep fighter. He would know, he had to nurse a bruised jaw for a few weeks.

Why do they sleep together? Listen, when you're in an apartment with not a lot of money, you gotta cut costs where you can alright?

just had disgusting filthy thoughts about ellie showing you off to loser!abby who’s never been with a girl before (mutuals look away i’m shy)

ellie having you spread open on the bed, vibrator held against your clit as you squirm, unable to move far with your feet tied down.

“y’hear those pretty little sounds she’s making?”. abby nodded. “‘s cause she’s gettin’ close again” it was true, you were approaching your third orgasm of the night, desperate to come yet overstimulated all at the same time. abby nodded again, face red and boxers soaked through. “look at her little pussy clenching around nothing” ellie told her “desperate to be filled, poor thing.” abby cleared her throat “are you gonna…?”

ellie shook her head. “gotta make her wait for it. makes her so fucking needy” you huffed from the other end of the bed, tears filling your eyes at your desperation “‘s too much ellie. please” abby looked to ellie, slight concern on her face but ellie just turned back to the pretty display she’d created “dumb little thing’s just being pathetic. she’s gonna come again soon”. your head felt more fucked than ever before. the combination of another orgasm approaching and your girlfriend talking to abby about you like you weren’t even there was making your mind fall deeper into a submissive fuzzy mess.

“you wanna touch?” ellie asked and abby’s eyes widened. “‘s ok. she’d like that. wouldn’t you, pretty girl? you nodded fervently “please. touch me abby” abby almost wanted to pinch herself, convinced she was having some kind of hyper-realistic wet dream. she reached out hesitantly. “so fucking wet isn’t she? i think she likes being spread out for us like this” abby managed to breathe out a small “yeah” and she brought a thick finger to your dripping hole. “jus fill her up, nice and slow” ellie told her and you moaned loud as abby followed her instructions.

“s-so tight” abby mumbled as you tried to relax, the stimulation on your clit making it almost impossible not to clench down. “always is,” ellie mused “no matter how many times i fuck her pretty little pussy.” abby groaned at the feeling of you stretched around her and ellie’s dirty words. “now move your fingers properly and make her cum”
