canon is empowered

[mindf_ckery]

I'm not going to complain (though I really want to) about the logic of you playing a character from Empowered when you are (extremely) uncomfortable with fetish bondage.

My (tentative) question is whether or not you can express my (quite steamy) feelings towards Spookums if I run into her. I don't doubt that you'll do your best to find her (just so you can cause her emotional turmoil, ███hole), so I want to be sure that (my) Spookums knows how much I still care for her.

Eeeh? How could anyone be uncomfortable with bondage? It's the ultimate expression of love!

[mindf_ckery]

To tell the truth, I'm not really (ever, at all, in any way) into it myself. It just seems ... (highly) contradictory to be a fan of a comic while disliking one of the (supposed) major draws.

[strongestcoward]

Yes, well, try to be open minded. Uh. Not in the way you obviously are. Anyway, contradiction is only in a case of complete mutual existence. That's not always the case in examples like this. Experiencing discomfort on a topic can be a draw in itself.

[mindf_ckery]

I don't know if I can be open-minded about being controlled (even if it's actually consensual) by someone else.

[strongestcoward]

I prefer to think of it as a matter of trust...Which would be why I do the tying. Ever considered approaching it from the other side?

[mindf_ckery]

(Hell) no.

[strongestcoward]

Ke-ke-ke. What's that phrase about protesting too much?

[mindf_ckery]

It's a slippery slope. First you're tying people up, and then you're doing ... other things. (Like making your sister carve out her eyes and tongue.) F███k.

[strongestcoward]

...Buwahahah! Do you seriously believe such contrived nonsense? Ah, I suppose you must, considering. That is, assuming that you really do have to 'say' what you're thinking, which by the way, I find makes you extremely pleasant to talk to. Anyway, getting back on topic, those're very unrelated hobbies! I would go ahead and say that playing with bondage can be a very healthy release for desires like that, but I encourage people to indulge them directly anyway. If that's your sort of worry, I'd say you're the type who would enjoy it, so why bother holding back? Ah, I've been rambling, sorry, sorry.

[mindf_ckery]

Done with this conversation.

[strongestcoward]

Aww! Don't be that way, I just got excited because you're a nice conversationalist... We can change the topic if you like.

[mindf_ckery]

Any (and I do mean any) other topic would be better.

[strongestcoward]

That's not true. But I have the feeling if I listed worse things you'd get upset again... Since I am going to make the effort to avoid that as long as possible, instead I will list some nice things. Pancakes. Cold breezes on hot days. Scarves. Eyes-uh, that one was insensitive. Sorry!

[mindf_ckery]

People have (lots of) trouble controlling their thoughts. A few slip-ups (egregious though they may be) when speaking isn't uncommon.

[strongestcoward]

Ke-ke, well I am completely insane, but I am trying. That has to count for something, right?

[mindf_ckery]

That would explain the air (of complete creepiness) I'm getting from your mind.

[strongestcoward]

Try not to touch anything if you don't like it; insanity is infectious. But you know, it's pretty comfy too. [Of course like 50% of his thoughts and feelings are "oh f██k I'm scared" so there's that.]

[mindf_ckery]

...let me fix that for you temporarily (and in the process almost completely invalidate my own position).

- She tweaks his emotional responses to tone down the absolute terror running through his head. -

[strongestcoward]

...Ah.

[And with his terror reduced, he's suddenly a lot less creepy! In most ways. Now at lest 25% of his thoughts are about how wonderful she is repeated over and over and over in every possible way. And... Kind of in shock too.]

That was very nice of you. But now if you stop, I think I might panic and do something very nasty to you... That's really unfair, because it's a very lovely thing you just did and I like you a lot.

[mindf_ckery]

I'll keep that in (constant) thought.

- And indeed, she doesn't let it. It's not that hard for her to maintain. -

[strongestcoward]

Uh. My name is Asura, and I'm the Demon God of Madness. I just thought I'd introduce myself. I don't normally do that because... I'm scared to.

[mindf_ckery]

Why is a Demon (not sure I believe that) God (or that) of Madness (that one, yes) afraid to introduce themselves?

I have to apologize (all the time), too. I already know your name (since grey matter-perusal is not an optional thing with me).

I'm Mindf██k.

[strongestcoward]

Because I'm shy. Just because I'm insane and likely to end the world doesn't mean it's easy to talk to people. I don't like people know things about me. You're alright though... For now at least. You know, it's really nice talking to you.Normally I can't guess what people are thinking but it's easy enough with you. Although, it's a bit upsetting too because I know I'm going to hate your guts later. Ooh, why is nothing ever simple!?

[mindf_ckery]

You can guess what I'm thinking because my thoughtstream is (almost) entirely unfiltered.

Tell you what; next time (if there is one) we meet here I'll tweak (the hell out of) your emotional responses again so we can start off on a (relatively) good foot.

[strongestcoward]

...Aww. That's both very sweet and a complete violation of my being.

I'm okay with it though! If I say something mean before you can, please forgive me. It's nice being like this.

[mindf_ckery]

Hearing the nasty things floating around in people's (Major Havoc's)(douchebag) heads helps you take ugly words pretty well.

[strongestcoward]

Must be nice. Because you know their opinion doesn't matter anyway, because you know they're a jackass.

[gotitmaid]

Given the nature of your powers I would imagine you'd have a better chance at influencing your nun wouldn't you?

[mindf_ckery]

You would think that, but (admittedly delightfully), I can't access their cognisphere in the slightest beyond what they (rarely) allow me. It's actually refreshing.

How have you been, Maidman? Still one of the best (and one of the few non-idiot) heroes around?

[gotitmaid]

That makes sense when you put it that way.

You flatter me Miss I don't know about the best. But thank you.

I've been having a sort of...vacation since my Mun took me from the game I was in. Keeping watch for our friends...and foes.

[mindf_ckery]

I'm curious as to whether Elissa (oops) or any of her friends are anywhere on this website.

[gotitmaid]

I have seen one or two of her, and a Ninjette but I think they may still be over on Livejournal. Unfortunately.

Who knows though, given enough time I'm sure we're bound to find someone.

[badluckbabe]

Good luck with that, I'll have my fingers crossed for you because frankly, huge fan.

[mindf_ckery]

I didn't know that people from other comics read the one I'm (until a certain story) in.

[badluckbabe]

Well I tend to read over my mun's shoulder when it has to do with fellow butt kicking lady types.

Also there was an another you I saw once doing some amazing progress with a bitter, unstable, miserable fire nation princess. Pretty slick.

[mindf_ckery]

Another me who's a lady's girl, huh? I'm (not) surprised. I wonder if she gave up on Spookums (and am somewhat depressed if that's the case).

[badluckbabe]

Oh no no, no need to worry there. She was just helping a traumatized messed up girl. The OTP still stands.

[mindf_ckery]

It's good to see that I (we?) have my (our?) priorities in order. (This is confusing.)
