“Illium Nights” - Miranda
Got the inspiration to do something with Miri after seeing Eph’s amazing Miranda drawing. Also wanted to get something out there before the new year since I’ve been pretty inactive (I’m sorry).
Dominance is a Gift (too)
The other day, I read an anon of @instructor144’s that stated more often than not, you see “Submission is a Gift”, which is absolutely true. But sometimes it can make it seem like Dominance is its ‘toxic’ counterpart, which is absolutely untrue.
Yes, we all know there are certain ‘pseudo doms’ out there who perpetuate the stigma of D/s being abusive because they are abusive arseholes, who think D/s and BDSM and Kink are just about inflicting pain on people and treating them like shit in order to make themselves feel superior and eventually cum. Scary AF, I know. So, SIDENOTE: WATCH OUT! PARTAKE IN THOROUGH VETTING AND KNOW YOU’RE WORTH!
But besides the faux doms out there, when you really look at Dominance, it IS in fact, a Gift.
A beautiful gift, at that.
I mean…
Someone who willingly guides another by means of structure and compassion.
Someone that see’s you for what you’re truly worth but also takes you for who you truly are.
Someone aiding another to better themselves because they know just how much potential you really have.
Someone willing and wanting to be the protector.
Someone who actively makes and takes time to care for their submissive in ways that go beyond just an amazing orgasm.
Someone who helps keep our crazy submissive minds at ease.
Someone who takes it slow; takes the time to get to know you. Someone who observes and learns their submissives needs, wants, little quirky habits, and uses their own strength to Bring strength and courage to that submissive.
Someone who wants to see their submissive blossom.
Someone who is their submissives’ safe place; their peace in a chaotic world.
Someone who won’t judge their fears and doubts but who understands and offers guidance to overcome those fears and doubts. (Although, personally, I’m not talking about being afraid of the dark… My D can fight off those monsters & ghosts for me, lol)
Someone who takes responsibility for their actions (which is really supposed to be a ‘People thing’, but not many people own up to their shit).
These are not easy tasks. The ‘average joe’ couldn’t fathom the amount of work it requires to be a True Dominant.
Someone who works for our submission and doesn’t just start off demanding we do this and that and kneel and beg.
Someone who sees us for US? That is 110% A Gift.
These actions aren’t to be taken lightly. The responsibility, the control… and mind you, D’s are only human too. They undergo stress and hardships just like the rest of us. They’re not Superman or Captain America but they make us feel like we have our own personal Superhero, and that is again…a what?
A GIFT.
So yes, Submission is a gift, but we are talking about power exchange, so it can’t be considered one sided, and “with great power comes great responsibility”.
Dominance is their gift to us.
Beyond it being a gift, True Dominance is a blessing.
