It's my birthday and I am resisting the fuck out of dealing with work emails. I kind of thought about taking myself to the cinema to help with that but turns out there is nothing showing that I want to see. So instead, I'm spending it doing a random combination of things I enjoy
***
Firstly:
Thanks tobymokona for reccing this movie. If you've been around for more than like five mins you know that bdsm is my jam both in fandom and irl. Problem is that outside of transformative work, vast majority of mainstream d/s oriented media is AWFUL, majority of it is extremely het and majority of that aggressively female sub/male dom. Which... If that's your thing then rock on. Play safe, have fun irl, and good luck in finding some media that works for you. However, personally I cannot deal with that at all. Like even if fanfic if hetship even hints at that I am pressing a back button SO FAST. Just can't stomach it. It's a squick. You get it.
Anyway, back to the movie. What we have here is het. BUT
a) FEMDOM
b) newbie domme/more (though not by much) experienced sub
c) RESEARCH, SHE DOES RESEARCH, GOOD GOD YES THIS
d) EXPLICIT CONSENT, like contract
e) NON-SEXUAL D/S (to start with)
f) AFTERCARE
g) then, FEELINGS
h) It is cute as fuck
i) The secondary couple is also cute and the main characters femsub friend is extremely kick-ass and there's a scene (you'll know which one) where I just went FUCK YES YOU TELL HIM!
j) Adorable, adorable, but also has some hot scenes because have you seen these two?
k) Sometimes things go wrong and then they are solved
l) Fun. This is FUN. They're having FUN! They're laughing! Oh yes please this.
It's not a perfect movie because these things never are but it is miles and miles ahead a lot of mainstream d/s media I've seen and it is bdsm cottoncandy please if you are having a bad day and enjoy this premise even a little, give it a try. Here's the trailer:

- Going out for coffee and brunch
- (was going to get a new piercing but the studio is closed on Mondays so maybe I will leave this until Easter now)
- Watching The Untamed (please I want to screech about this with someoneeeeeeeee)
- Rolling around in kpop vids and clips thanks to my ever-enabling flist
- Listening to Magic Triumphs, the last of the Kate Daniels series audiobook (well except for the side character books which I also have)
- Catching up with flist journals
- Cooking myself a steak for dinner
- Posting about two things I have Enjoyed Muchly lately; firstly a movie rec and a bit later I have some reaction vids for youuuuu!
