The "creepy hypnotherapist" trope died out because it is impossible to make a character who looks creepier than 90% of real world hypnotherapists.

Captain Ginyu is a great metaphor for dysphoria.

You keep jumping through bodies, but none of them feel like home.

So you act tough and try to fake it until it feels right.

Don't call me mistress or princess.

What would be the sex equivalent of "unalived"?

If it wasn't against the ethos of the genre, I would totally write a mech story about a suicidal girl who joins a mech team, hoping that her handler will shoot her.

However, due to various random circumstances she keeps completing missions, leading to her getting loads of praise.

I don't see why you are complaining.

If I dressed you in clothes you like, then it wouldn't be Forced Feminization, would it?

Anyhow, those overalls and rollerskates suit you!

There should be a doctor you can go to who isn't a doctor.

So you can tell them what's going on without having to deal with their stupid solutions.

It is fun to know that I've failed at everything I've ever attempted.

I'm basically a walking argument against intelligent design.

You could do one of yours in a single word:

....great.

The new episode of Have I Got News For You has talk about the Green Party leader's past as a hypnotherapist.

So I now have to hear Victoria Coren make hypnosis gags.

This is very awkward.

Hypnosis fantasies are the worst ones to pitch.

Most other kinks take about three sentences. However, most hypnosis fantasies require 3 paragraphs, each more nonsensical than the last.

Sex?

Oh, I think you've made a mistake.

To me, DDlg doesn't mean sex.

It means you watching every Monster High movie with me!

the problem with mechsploitation is that if you turn a girl into a dog that's also an ace pilot you've just succeeded in creating Snoopy

Just saw an thing about a guy who offers "bondage meditation" sessions.

I'm being totally serious when I say we need to keep the social media wellness industrial complex away from kink at all cost.

Why are those big spirally glasses reserved for schoolgirls?

I want to see a dorky local mom in a pair.

Praise kink, but you only get off when a unrelated third party is praised.

E.g. "I'm so close, tell me how good the Red Socks are playing this year"

Handler: If you fail again, I will finish you myself.

Me: Why waste time? Do it now!

Handler: ....ummm....are you okay? It kinda takes the fun out of it if you're into the idea of me shooting you?

I honestly think half the appeal of handler/pilot stuff (for me) is the idea that handlers will openly declare thst the pilot is a useless thing that isn't worthy of life beyond what they can do.

Basically embracing negative self talk rather than fighting it.

...kinda like reverse Mommy Domme.
