“a well dressed man is more attractive than a shirtless one with a six pack”
Waistcoats. Don’t forget the waistcoats, people.
Dom & Sub is a body of illustrative work in digital media that attempts to humanize practitioners of BDSM and offer a representation of kinky sex that not only refutes negative stereotypes but informs the audience that sadomasochistic play is done best between happy, healthy, and consenting adults. I portrayed the couple in the work not only engaging in S&M play but also building a “scene” together and nurturing one another after the play has concluded; these are moments often left unconsidered or completely ignored in visual representations of S&M. I believe it’s important to see how kinky scenes are crafted with care, commitment to safety and enthusiastic consent in order to limit those times when sadomasochistic play is used to abuse or dehumanize other human beings. It is my hope that my audience will learn from the illustrations that sadomasochistic play is not always dark or scary, and that fellow ‘kinksters’ can enjoy tender representations of S&M that do not ridicule or pathologize them. I’ve designed the work to engage sadomasochistic imagery, material and theory with an ethical conscience.
YES YES YES
cute cute cute! <3
Yes good.
I like it.
And I know the artist knows what they’re talking about, because of that glass of water. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it depicted in BDSM art before! But the post-scene glass of water is A Thing. You get thirsty!
The only thing that could make me happier is if this series goes on to depict a bowl of M&Ms.
Ohhhhhhh yeeeeesssssss
Love this. Brilliant view of what BDSM relationships really involve.
Especially the glass of water xD
very impressed
When creating a character, there’s a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether it’s an original character or one you’ve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With it’s help, you’ll be able to think about things you didn’t necesarily thought about, and ask some important questions to yourself that might activate your character’s voice, or help you to get your muse back with them. Everyone has their favorite character sheets, some people prefer to have a lot of questions, some others like it a bit more vague, so here’s a masterlist of the character sheets I found on various websites and found quite interesting, plus some other things that could be used to help you see, for example, how other character view yours.
- Blank Character Sheet (+370 Questions)
- Abridged Character Sheet (100 Questions)
- Big-Ass Character Sheet
- Character Creation Form
- Character Sheet by Jody Hedlund
- Creating a character Bio Sheet
- Character Analysis Worksheet
- 100 Character Development questions for writers
- Create a Character Profile
- Character Development Worksheet
- Original Character Bio-Sheet
- Character Chart for Fiction Writers
- A Character Chart By Charlotte Dillon
- Fiction Writer’s Character Chart
- Detailed Character Sheet
- Character Sheet Template
- Character Twenty-Question Worksheet
- In-Depth Character Sheet
- Character Worksheet
- Character Interview Sheet (First Person)
- Background Questionnaire (First Person)
- Characters Perceptions (How do other people perceive your character?)
With these sheets, you could also try to find your character’s Jung and Enneagram Type or use the Moral Alignment tool. All of these things can be really useful to get a better grip on a character.
Then, if you’re trying to create a character, and do not have many ideas, or get stuck, I’d suggest for you to roam around TVTropes, which gives you a lot of tropes used for character creation. Maybe you could try to mix a few of these and create an original character?
Or, if you’re a skillful writer and know how to make your character different from another, make a list of characters in fiction you happen to find interesting and why. Try to keep it short. Then, maybe, try to mix and match things from two or three characters, take a character and change their backstory, to see what would change. Play with them to inspire yourself and create something new, original and truly yours.
Oh, and here’s a little guide to Mary-Sues and OCs, just in case you want to make sure your character isn’t going to become a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu
And last but not least, this article about building fictional character definitely seemed interesting to me, and is full of many other links that could guide you during the creating of your character and help you file one of these sheets.
Of all my childhood dreams, the only one that is still haunting my mind, the only one that I still hope for, is becoming Pippi Longstocking.
Pippi is my idol, my mentor, my role model in everything. Pippi mocks identities and social roles, and especially sexual…

Wow, look, for the low price of only $14.62 you can be the proud owner of 128 pages of heteronormative bullshit straight out of the 1950s!
…so basically, according to this chart, I am a man. Thanks for clearing that up, Chart Of Stereotypes.
Yup, according to that chart I’ve always been seriously confused about my gender…
Reblog if you have a useless superhuman ability.
Something mere mortals can’t do, but you could never stop a bank robbery? That’s a useless superhuman ability. I can always always save a hollandaise sauce no matter how separated it gets. I’ve known great chefs who can’t do that, but it’s never gonna stop a guy with a ski mask and a bag full of stolen cash. (Unless he really really likes eggs benedict, I guess).
Mine is a superhuman capacity for putting up with bullshit at work.
I can pack and fit stuff into a car like a pro. Years of experience going to re-enactment events and such :D
“you shouldn’t be depressed, people have it worse than you”
finally, after years of searching, the person with the worst life ever is found. formally, they are granted permission to be sad. but only them. only they have earned it. no sads for anyone else at all ever
Because I’m a gamer, I spend a lot of time reading reviews, blog posts, and articles about video games. However whenever media critical thought or even gender enters the conversation, the same comments keep appearing. So frequently in fact, that I felt it was worthy of it’s own bingo card. Feel free to repost the above bingo card, but if you do so, link back to this page and give credit.
Inspired by the original Feminist Bingo Card.
Saving cause its relevant to discussions I’ve had recently
and for the panel I’m on next week. :|
