Thanks for sharing!

There's just something about that line art style that feels really cozy. The lines give off this... almost completed sketchy feel... combined with the simple use of color and fantastic use of shading, that just make the whole piece pop off the page.

Well, the more you all talk about this, the better Matrix sounds!

I think that any extra ways to keep up on 'server happening' here would be neat, since not everyone is comfortable with things like telegram, X, etc etc.

A correction and a source link, nice! Edited my post to correct that.

Hmmmmm... for the last question, there are really only a few that make it into that rotation. The larger fox I just got is gonna more or less be a body pillow, so it'll probably be a main stay in my bed. The blahaj shark also gets to be there, most nights... it wasn't in the picture because I forgot it was still swimming around the bedsheets!

Most of them end up being decor for around my place. they sit on shelves near books, or under the tv... one there holds my TV headphones and charging cable!

Some of the smallest ones actually aren't even plushies... they have a little safety pin badge in the back, so they can be attached to a bag or clothes, like a badge or pin. One of those adorns my laptop bag.

I'll end with... even though they may mostly just be decor, most of them do have a deeper meaning... some were bought on outings with friends. Some found their way to me at some random garage sale and just spoke to me... each does indeed have both it's own little story, and special place in my life!

Oh yeah, funny how that works. Even in some of the most welcoming places, it can be very difficult to talk about things your already well into, much less speaking up about things you might think you could be into! Especially since, at least IMO, expressing yourself in those more...let's say basal/carnal desires can really help you understand more about yourself on an emotional level. >.>b

I agree on the whole being supportive thing, too. Relationships, be it just a FWB thing or something more concrete, are really built on trust. Knowing you can say things that might sound strange or try new things really does make things better in the long run, tho. It can be hard when your trying to figure...out your tastes. Sometimes, they can be horribly specific/ situation based...other times, going off the beaten path and trying something new to you can open up a whole new world of enjoyable things to do!

I think wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world really nailed it with their tl:dr.
Stuff like that isn't really so much a one-choice kind of thing, but really just a ton of grey areas in between.

Things like this are very hard to express in words!

I'll give answering this a shot, then....i'm a switch. Hard to say which way I lean though, it all depends on the setting and the other part(y-ies).

One of my main kinks is tickle torture. If you put someone in front of me who's all submissive, helpless, and sensitive...I find myself easily slipping into a dominant role.
However, I also really enjoy seeing myself in that role as well! Something about being unable to hold back, and be driven further and further into hysterics, just...feeling helpless and not in control, it's really rather freeing in it's own right.
I have noticed that if I go too long without being able to express my submissive needs, I get into a pretty miserable mood, though.

So it might be fair to say I am a switch, leaning Dominant...but there's just something so freeing and relaxing about being a submissive, that I couldn't go without it.

For the next 24 days, everytime this comes on the radio... or a store speaker... I'm gonna think of this pun... Thanks! /s

... really tho, that got at least one well deserved chuckle.

Yap.
