Twitter Repost: So, I've been deep into hypnokink for two years, and "hypnotic amnesia" still seems like the holy grail for a lot of folks in terms of selling/living the fantasy. I've got a theory about it!
Already missing Hypnovember; should I do more of those threads?

#Hypnovember 🧵 #30: Eye-Opening Trance

For a lot of folks, heavy eyelids falling closed is a bit part of the assumed nature of trance--but I love helping partners expand their definition to include trancing eyes-open (or doing so myself).

Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 #29: Learn to the Love the Tist's Trance

If you're a Switch, chances are good you have more opportunity as a tist than a subject, just by the numbers game alone. But even hypnotizing is a kind of trance.

Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵#28: Dream Logic and Double Think

There's this thing that happens in dreams, where you can imagine something one way and yet know it's something else? It's a common experience and super useful in hypnokink.

Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 27: A Curriculum for Tists

A really brief one, since I'm in a turkey trance today, but I thought I'd take a second to think about some of the skills, hobbies, and practices that a 'tist can derive a lot of benefits from.

Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 26: Brainwashing Play

"Brainwashing." If you're into it, there's a pretty good chance it's one of the juiciest words in the hypnokink vocabulary. It's definitely one of my favorites, with everything (non-abusive) that it implies.

Let's talk about it. 👿

#Hypnovember 🧵 #25: Extrapolation

A lot of my play gives the subject room to let their mind go...well, wherever it wants to go. I think there's a lot of fun you can have by letting your subject extrapolate a suggestion to its logical conclusions.

Let's talk about it!

#hypnovember 🧵 #24: Sound Effects

Today, something less theoretical and a lot more personal: I've found, from play with a friend, that a lot of sound effects hit me in trance like a fucking brick.

Let's talk about that.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #23: Work and Play

I think I've touched on this before, but it's on my mind so away we go: I try my hardest to say that I'm "playing" with my partners, not "working" with them.

Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 22: Necrotrance-y

One of my favorite inductions is to ask someone to describe how they ✨feel✨ when they go into trance. Some folks struggle, but we walk through it, step by step...and they almost always end up traced out again. Why?

Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #21: "Hypnosis Can't Make You Do Anything You Really Don't Want to Do"

Hoo boy. Infamous phrase. Common one. Load-bearing in hypnokink and hypno more broadly. I hate it.

Let's talk about it.

The Two Hyp Chicks Podcast (a queer hypnokink podcast) is BACK after 4 years.

This time, we're starting off with some live trance and then breaking down a couple of techniques that I used.

We're shaking the rust off, but so happy to be back. ❤️

#Hypnovember 🧵 #20, for real this time: The Pre-Talk is for Mindreading

By pre-talk, I mean all the interactions that happen before a hypno play scene begins with a partner, but especially negotiation and framing. This sets them up to listen to your meaning, not your words.

Let's talk about that.

My answer to your question isn’t just about my YouTube Shorts Hypnosis Education series. It’s about ALL hypnosis education.

TL;DR: It’s for everybody. Find out why in the comments.

Thank you for the question!

Question - is the audience intended for a Hypnotist or for us submissive subs?

#Hypnovember 🧵 #20: "Fake It Til You Make It"

Today, I'd like to discourse a little less and instead open it up for thoughts and comments, because I've got a fairly solid stance, but I'm far from convinced that it's one-size fits all.

So let's actually talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵18: The Coven

Working with multiple people in a hypno scene can be a lot of fun, especially when multiple tists are in rapport and a little trancey themselves.

It's witchy hypno story time tonight!

Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #17: Permissive Language

I've danced around this before, but I think this time I want to illustrate it with a fun example: Good hypno is often bad writing, because it benefits from ambiguous language that lets the subject co-create the effect.

Let's talk about "villain mode." 😈

I think this actually is normal. Unfortunately, when a lot of people can't find a healthy dom they turn to fascism.
I’m normal I just want to have someone tell me how to dress and act and how to look and think and all I need to do in return is everything they ask with no second thoughts

Everyone wants that right

#Hypnovember 🧵 #16: The Words Matter, but They're Not Magic

When it comes to hypno kink, people are justifiably choosy about the wording of inductions and suggestions. That's a good thing! It's important to make sure you're leveraging all the tools in your box, and language is one of the biggest

A very brief #Hypnovember #15 from the woods: Subject Agency 🧵

Subject agency isn't just about safety--it can make your scenes even hotter.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #14: The Dreadful Gaze

So, go with me, because it's an old trope: You look into the hypnotist's eyes and slowly feel yourself dropping.

It's hot. It's fun! It's possible.

I love doing it.

Let's talk about it!
