Hello! I go by the names Cee or C. H. I'm male, a switch, and on the old(er) side of Tumblr, way beyond 18.
I'm on Discord, too, as cee_h.
I’m a hypnosis enthusiast, and that's the main topic of this blog.
Here you will find small bits of fantasy, erotic stories, hypnotic inductions and articles about hypnosis. There are also information and advice posts and reblogs, intended to help people construct and maintain a healthy and safe kinky community. Aside from that, here you will find art, movies, books and other things I like, and even some humor here and there. Almost all posts should be tagged; please let me know if I miss anything. (And please let me know if you think a post should be amended or deleted, too.)
Most posts will be queued in advance, which means I'm not always here regularly. However, I always welcome the opportunity to chat and play with more people. I usually am the hypnotist these days, but I'm also a really good subject. Send me an ask or a DM and we can start talking. I speak Spanish as well as English.
Please note: I block bigots and trolls. Do not interact if you’re a minor, or against informed, safe and consensual kinky practices between adults.
Hypnosis can be very hot and very beautiful. And sometimes it is both. Welcome!

PS. I sometimes publish erotic stories on Read Only Mind. Not all of them are crossposted here, so I invite you to take a look there as well.
Since Wattpad users apparently think 'Immigrant' is a slur and inherently evil I will now be calling them 'The Wattpad Settlers' because they think Ao3 is disgusting and needs to be destroyed and rebuilt to what they deem is appropriate.
So glad I came over from wattpad years ago and not now, because a very large group of them are on a very disturbing path
For those from Wattpad who just want to read fics and not cause any problems like regular human beings, there are plenty of guides across Tumblr on etiquette, and plenty of people who are more than willing to help you acclimate so we can all enjoy the app together!
Here is a good list explaining a lot of nuanced tags and such by @allthingswhumpyandangsty
One of the main things you have to know about AO3 is that it is an Anti-censorship platform, meaning you're going to find something on there that you don't like
I used to be on Wattpad before I cowrote on this blog with an online friend of mine who has now left the tumblr stratosphere, so I know the experience of being a reader from Wattpad to Ao3 and I know that, even on Wattpad, you've probably read a lot of things you were not prepared to read or find
trust me, I can't recall how many x reader fics I used to start and the beginning notes were 'Your name is Melissa" or 'You have long blonde hair with black and pink natural streaks' 😂
You should not be unfamiliar with the concept of a thing showing up when you didn't expect it, the only difference is, AO3 gives you the ability to filter out those things you don't like
The Filter system does its job really well, because you can usually find a plethora of things you love and then find the specific tag for it to sort through your preferred ship or fandom
If someone doesn't tag something you think should be, a helpful, respectful comment goes a long way! And I can almost guarantee it won't be met harshly if you're respectful and concise.
But by no means should you harass the writers of a fic you don't like.
Just because you wanted a fic with a certain pair in it and they add a third you don't like, does not mean you should talk bad about it in the comment where other people go to express their joy, it means you're looking in the wrong place, and should filter it out
If you're respectful, and genuinely just looking for a place to read without being restrained, AO3 is exactly where you need to be, and we'd love to have you!
But do not treat this site like it is something that needs to be destroyed and fixed to fix your ideas, that's how Wattpad got to where it is now
Digital painting of Jupiter, as it would have appeared on 1672 January 19th at 4:45 AM, based on a sketch by Italian astronomer Giovanni Cassini made at the eyepiece of an 81mm (3") refractor telescope at the Paris Observatory.
Cassini's 1665 discovery of what he called the "Permanent Spot" is usually considered to be the discovery of the famous Great Red Spot storm. But a recent analysis has pointed out that there was a gap of over 100 years between observations of any spots on Jupiter. The Permanent Spot is therefore now thought to be a different storm altogether. It is about the same size and position as the Great Red Spot is today, but I wanted to differentiate it from the Great Red Spot--after all, the Permanent Spot was never described as 'red.'
Io appears in front of Jupiter, although it was not sketched by Cassini at the time due to the low contrast and the small aperture of the telescope used. Callisto is also visible to the left.
Simulated view through the eyepiece, research notes, alternate image variants, and decision process below the cut:
Here are three of Cassini's sketches of Jupiter, from 1665, 1672, and 1677, printed in the form of woodcut illustrations. From this we can see that Cassini generally does accurately depict the features of the planet--in particular the equatorial belts in 1677 are at just about the correct latitude, and in 1665 and 1677 the dark polar hoods are depicted as well.
The strange thing however is that in 1672, Cassini drew the Permanent Spot north of the southernmost dark belt, and did not draw any darkening at the polar regions.
This makes for a very strange Jupiter indeed. The implication here is that the South Equatorial Belt is entirely absent, the polar hoods are much paler than usual, and the darkest belts on the planet appear to be the North Equatorial Belt and the South Temperate Belt. (The absolute latitude of the northern belt does appear to be lower than that of the southern belt.)
This peculiar Jupiter looks very little like any Jupiter we've ever seen, except for one strange time in 2010, when the South Equatorial Belt disappeared, or, at least, inexplicably turned white.
I used several photographs from this time period for reference, although it's still not a perfect match--the polar hoods are still very dark in 2010.
I took care in the end to depict the same kind of detail that we're used to seeing in the higher latitudes on Jupiter, just at a much lower contrast, and with a smoother gradient, to try and compromise between the almost 'bald' look of the drawing versus a realistic appearance.
I also matched the color and the style of turbulence of the southernmost dark belt in my drawing to that of the actual South Temperate Belt rather than the South Equatorial Belt we're generally used to seeing.
To differentiate the Permanent Spot from the Great Red Spot, accounting for the fact that no one described a spot on Jupiter as red until the late 19th century, I used the grayer color of the South Temperate Belt for the Permanent Spot. Another smaller dark spot, not so permanent, on Cassini's drawing, I decided to depict as something like Oval BA or "Red Spot Jr."
In order to find the exact time and date of the drawing, I found this pdf: https://cral-perso.univ-lyon1.fr/labo/fc/ama09/pages_hras/mars_t10_tache-jup.pdf via the references for this paper: The Origin of Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
I had to uſe a machine tranſlation from French, which didn't work great ſince in the 1670s the letter "s" was written like "ſ" and the program kept reading the "s" as "f". It did reſult in the humorouſ title of "Caffini" which I aſſume iſ a 17th century aſtronomy themed coffee ſhop.
Still though I was able to pull out the important bit which allowed me to find the right date and time to get the shading and Moon positions correct:
"But on January 19 of the present year 1672, Cassini saw Jupiter at three-quarters past four in the morning."
At the time, he was observing from the Paris Observatory. Timezones did not exist yet, so he would have been measuring the time in Paris Mean Solar Time. The actual time in UTC would be 04:36 AM or, 06:36 AM CEST.
I also used the figure from this paper rather than the one near the top of this post, since as far as I can tell both are woodcuts, but the one in the paper is a copy of the sketch, whereas the one in the three-sketch-comparison near the top of this post appears to be a copy of a copy.
The one little cheat I made is that I did move the northernmost dark belt south just a little to put it more in line with the latitude of the North EQ belt. Since this is based on a sketch I allow myself to make such changes which I would not do for a photograph.
Here's a drawing of the "34 foot" focal length, 81mm aperture Campani telescope Cassini would have been using at the time. Neither the Reflector Telescope nor the Achromatic Refractor Telescope was invented yet, so in order to prevent false color fringing from Chromatic Aberration, the focal length of a Singlet Refractor Telescope had to follow the square of any increase in aperture.
As a result, this 'small bore' telescope by modern standards had to be incredibly long, in fact it's comparable in focal length to many of the large aperture achromatic "Great Refractors" of the late 19th century.
(Note: it gets much worse for larger apertures)
For comparison, this enormous scope had about the same light gathering, resolution, and amount of false-color-fringing as this small modern f/5 achromatic refractor, the Synta Short-Tube 80.
I could not find a source for what magnification Cassini would have used, so I just chose a slightly conservative 150x, near the maximum useful magnification of a 3" telescope.
Here is the simulated view through the eyepiece (View in fullscreen to get a roughly correct magnification and field of view.)
And here is a 4:3 crop of the painting.
And here is South = Up, to match the drawing.
I am very pleased with this drawing. It's among my most photorealistic planet paintings yet, but features a very strange look for the planet.
The comic adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula was scripted by Roy Thomas (based on the movie's script by James V. Hart) and drawn by Mike Mignola. So this is an adaptation of an adaptation of an adaptation!
You got to brainwash an entire ballroom full of people?? What was that like? It must have been an incredible sight to behold.
Yes I sure did! So basically Lee Allure asked me back in 2018 if I would join her in a brainwashing experience for charmed 2019. I said yes and then we met up at the con to do a little demo run of something before the class. I knew there would be a spiral and some phrases for the session so going into it, I was kind of not exactly sure what to expect. The number of people in that room really shook me.
It felt like jumping off a cliff tbh. I was incredibly nervous going into it but I just focused on what I was doing and tried not to panic. If I had thought logically about what was happening I probably would have been scared but it really was a lot of fun.
Someone even wrote a story about that event AND my friend drew a comic strip about it.
Right now, somewhere, a hypnosub is falling down a deep well within their mind, losing all awareness of the world outside. Their trance fills their mind. They don't know anything besides it.
Their hypnotist is going to change them entirely, irrevocably, and they won't even notice.
But that hypnosub holds one truth, deeper than any thought, deeper than knowledge or belief. They're aching to be changed: molded into whatever the power that controls them may want.
When you fall down the being a good girl who brainwashes others like she is brainwashed pipeline on complete accident by just being a cute menace in the chat whos just very enthusiastic about clean brains. Whoopsies! 😅
