content notes
while i intend on adding a list of content notes to everything i post, this is a short list of things that might, and in all likelihood will, come up in my texts. however, i do not want to guarantee that i will always tag everything relevant. simply because i do not want to pretend that i know every possible trigger there is. please also keep in mind though that this is not a complete list and other subjects will arise.
this list is not ordered, ranked or in any way displays preference, frequency or importance of any topic
- (hard) kink
- emotional violence
- abuse
- manipulation
- relationships
- hierarchies
- mind games
- drugs
- mental health
- coercion
and assorted things
what do i mean when i talk about power?
there are many various and contradictory attempts at defining power. personally, when talking philosophically or politically, i prefer an approach that focuses on the ability to manifest one's will or thoughts in one's reality, as in one that looks at the ways in which we can influence our surroundings, regardless of what is needed to do so.
however, in this space i am talking about what power can do to those wielding it, not analyzing its nature, structure or anything similarly abstract or general. bluntly, and very broadly, speaking, i am talking about how the receiving end of devotion feels, of how it feels to have others obey my commands and make them do whatever i want in the full knowledge that they will follow my word. this does of course also include the power to give, help and all those other things. however, fundamentally it boils down not necessarily to the ability to have my will manifested in my reality despite possible resistance. but to the knowledge that there will be no meaningful hindrance to this process that could not be overcome.
power, here, therefore is the ability to manifest one's will and thoughts into reality without having to expect any meaningful hindrance that could not be overcome.
a clarification
because i believe this needs to be said:
i am not running a high-control group or any organized cult. i also will not accept anyone else in any form of relationship i am describing here. the dynamics that exist are the result of many, many talks on consent, needs, personality, character, dangers, experiences and all those things that form bonds such as these. there has been a lot of prior mutual trust building going on between us, without the express aim of creating what exists right now. what i have been given is a show of immense trust towards me that i will not mess things up but am instead aiming towards the things we agreed on. but what i do is also a show of trust from my side that those who engage in this more or less know what they say, that i can trust their expressions of needs and things and that they, too, will tell me when things get rough.
at the end of the day, this is consenting entities who're aware of the risks attached doing things they agreed on doing together.
and because this is important and in discussions about kink gets forgotten quite often: please do not deny the others their ability to consent to things or to think for themselves.
finally
should you have questions or if there is anything you would like to know more about or would want me to talk about, do let me know! while i do not want to guarantee that i will respond or reply, i am definitely open to suggestions or to try and clarify things :)
