I lead a small team of indie artists, so I juggle between project manager, social media advertisement and marketing manager all the time. That's not a complain! I love taking care of things, but I wonder **where** I should draw the line.

I've noticed a gap between each artists general culture around our project topic, eventually that will be noticeable to our audience too. So was considering giving them series to watch, books, comics etc, so they can have a shared ground of knowledge and collaborate more comfortably. But isn't that to controlling?

I have to write about 30 fantasy recipes for work but can't seem to find inspiration.

I already watched;

- Dungeon Meshi

- Campfire cooking in another world

- Precure a la mode

- Yumeiro Patisseriere

But I don't find anything else to use as documentation (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I, (NB18) have been friends with K(M18) since the beginning of middle school. We were sitting next to each other in biology class and been friends ever since. I even confessed to him in third year of middle school, he did not got the hint at the time apparently, personally I lived it like a rejection but it didn't stopped me from staying his friend. I wanted to be important to him, no matter who he dates, who he crushes on, I wanted to be the person he'll call when he need advices or simply a listener.

..I admit, I might be a little obsessive. I love him so much, he accepted every parts of me. He's a good person with an humble heart, not perfect! But in my book is the most coolest person I know.

Lately, we've been talking about becoming roommates in the future, like, seriously. He also visited my family and they loves him—of course they do (I know his family since we're 14 but he never met mine before). He even called ME to vent about his toxic boyfriend. He complained, I listened. I didn't dare to told him "thanks you for relying on me." He always hold himself together without others, showing so little emotions, yet he allows himself to be tired even annoyed with me! (I did called him out on the bs he did toward his bf tho) Since ever I drag him in everything I do, science club, musical club, art projects..

My mother said our relationship was very fusional, that she can see why his lover could not like me. Well, his lover never met me in person, just immediately got defensive when they learned I once confessed to K. I don't want to be an obstacle to his love life, heck no! I want him happy, that's what I like to see; so I talked to him about this, saying that I was scared of how others could view us and how it could affect his image.

He said he "Don't care, if my lover can't accept my friendships that are a part of who I am then they're the one who will have to go."

I am happy, more than happy that our friendship is something he feels protective of, I love the idea of living by his side for ever as his "childhood friend".

Now comes troubles;

We were waiting for his taxi with my older sister after he spent the day at my family place for my birthday. The discussion turns into dom/sub relationship because he retook the quiz recently and got higher dom result than one of our friend who switched up and became a sub (I think they're going to date but idk if he loves her yet) . I decided to make my sis (F23) take the test and to redo it myself.

Without surprise I got Little/Pet/Switch all the way up–he got Dom/Vanilla/Brat tamer by the way.

They both ask me the meaning of my results and when I explained that my type would like praises, gentleness and soft authority, he just petted me and praised me shyly before asking if he was doing it the right way.

OH LORD HAVE MERCY.

I can't unthink about it. It's been weeks. A month actually.

I shoved his hand away and got middly frustrated after, obviously. That's was uncalled for, stupid Vanilla! But he would be so nice as a master, I don't mind teaching him to handle me.

But would that be too much? I don't want to desire him, I am well aware that I am not what his polished appearance and lifestyle needs. So I'm scared of asking clearly..he comply if I turns childish or wants headpats but how the hell am I supposed to ask mr. Perfect to be my dom but also my bro??

I, (NB 18) I've been pondering on bdsm since around 16. I was briefly curious to look into it when the BdsmTest became popular in my countryside high school. It was fun to learn about new ways to love especially since I've always been a bit uneducated about love and affection.

My household was very cold, showing emotions was a reason to be humiliated and beaten for, I grew up faster than I should have when I got tossed into a foster house for around 10 years till last year (got a apartment yippee (≧ヮ≦))

I moved to the city and dropped out high school due to mental exhaustion- let's cut it to that for the backstory.

I'm now old enough to have a relationship! I feel kind of ready but...I don't think a vanilla dynamic will suit me.

Through researchs, educational videos and of course the well-known BdsmTest, turn out I'm a Switch little and pet. (I align with those at least) but even labels aside, I don't think what I currently expect from a relationship could fit vanilla dynamic—I need to be able to submit without it to be weird.

I have a sort-of online dom (Sadistic Dom) who's been teaching me few stuff over the past year, mostly to voice what I want, to submit and take punishment.

I hate being hurt or insulted too harshly, he respect that (I KNOW IT'S BARE MINIMUM)and my punishments are mostly non sexual (standing in a corner, proper vocal apologies, kneeling) and he checks on what I do, set me goals, actually discuss with me while leading me into functioning properly!

I do have an issue;

What would makes him happy?? I know soft taming is probably not what he likes the most (even tho this dumbass is damn well pleased when I stay obedient) I would like to hear him loose composture and all..I'm still scared of pain but I'm willing to cry a bit if it wipe that smug smile off his face! >:3
