the vibes have been bad ... so here is jesse to compensate.

please help me- i used to be pretty smart but i’m having so much trouble grasping the concept of diegetic vs non-diegetic bdsm!

gfkjldghfd okay first of all I'm sorry for the confusion, if you're not finding anything on the phrase it's because I made it up and absolutely nobody but me ever uses it, but I haven't found a better way to express what I'm trying to say so I keep using it. but now you've given me an excuse to ramble on about some shit that is only relevant to me and my deeply inefficient way of talking and by god I'm going to take it.

SO. the way diegetic and non-diegetic are normally used is to talk about music and sound design in movies/tv shows. in case you aren't familiar with that concept, here's a rundown:

diegetic sound is sound that happens within the world of the movie/show and can be acknowledged by the characters, like a song playing on the stereo during a driving scene, or sung on stage in Phantom of the Opera. it's also most other sounds that happen in a movie, like the sounds of traffic in a city scene, or a thunderclap, or a marching band passing by. or one of the three stock horse sounds they use in every movie with a horse in it even though horses don't really vocalize much in real life, but that's beside the point, the horse is supposed to be actually making that noise within the movie's world and the characters can hear it whinnying.

non-diegetic sound is any sound that doesn't exist in the world of the movie/show and can't be perceived by the characters. this includes things like laugh tracks and most soundtrack music. when Duel of Fates plays in Star Wars during the lightsaber fight for dramatic effect, that's non-diegetic. it exists to the audience, but the characters don't know their fight is being backed by sick ass music and, sadly, can't hear it.

the lines can get blurry between the two, you've probably seen the film trope where the clearly non-diegetic music in the title sequence fades out to the same music, now diegetic and playing from the character's car stereo. and then there are things like Phantom of the Opera as mentioned above, where the soundtrack is also part of the plot, but Phantom of the Opera does also have segments of non-diegetic music: the Phantom probably does not have an entire orchestra and some guy with an electric guitar hiding down in his sewer just waiting for someone to break into song, but both of those show up in the songs they sing down there.

now, on to how I apply this to bdsm in fiction.

if I'm referring to diegetic bdsm what I mean is that the bdsm is acknowledged for what it is in-world. the characters themselves are roleplaying whatever scenarios their scenes involve and are operating with knowledge of real life rules/safety practices. if there's cnc depicted, it will be apparent at some point, usually right away, that both characters actually are fully consenting and it's all just a planned scene, and you'll often see on-screen negotiation and aftercare, and elements of the story may involve the kink community wherever the characters are. Love and Leashes is a great example of this, 50 Shades and Bonding are terrible examples of this, but they all feature characters that know they're doing bdsm and are intentional about it.

if I'm talking about non-diegetic bdsm, I'm referring to a story that portrays certain kinks without the direct acknowledgement that the characters are doing bdsm. this would be something like Captive Prince, or Phantom of the Opera again, or the vast majority of bodice ripper type stories where an innocent woman is kidnapped by a pirate king or something and totally doesn't want to be ravished but then it turns out he's so cool and sexy and good at ravishing that she decides she's into it and becomes his pirate consort or whatever it is that happens at the end of those books. the characters don't know they're playing out a cnc or D/s fantasy, and in-universe it's often straight up noncon or dubcon rather than cnc at all. the thing about entirely non-diegetic bdsm is that it's almost always Problematic™ in some way if you're not willing to meet the story where it's at, but as long as you're not judging it by the standards of diegetic bdsm, it's just providing the reader the same thing that a partner in a scene would: the illusion of whatever risk or taboo floats your boat, sometimes to extremes that can't be replicated in real life due to safety, practicality, physics, the law, vampires not being real, etc. it's consensual by default because it's already pretend; the characters are vehicles for the story and not actually people who can be hurt, and the reader chose to pick up the book and is aware that nothing in it is real, so it's all good.

this difference is where people tend to get hung up in the discourse, from what I've observed. which is why I started using this phrasing, because I think it's very crucial to be able to differentiate which one you're talking about if you try to have a conversation with someone about the portrayal of bdsm in media. it would also, frankly, be useful for tagging, because sometimes when you're in the mood for non-diegetic bodice ripper shit you'd call the police over in real life, it can get really annoying to read paragraphs of negotiation and check-ins that break the illusion of the scene and so on, and the opposite can be jarring too.

it's very possible to blur these together the same way Phantom of the Opera blurs its diegetic and non-diegetic music as well. this leaves you even more open to being misunderstood by people reading in bad faith, but it can also be really fun to play with. @not-poignant writes fantastic fanfic, novels, and original serials on ao3 that pull this off really well, if you're okay with some dark shit in your fiction I would highly recommend their work. some of it does get really fucking dark in places though, just like. be advised. read the tags and all that.

but yeah, spontaneous writer plug aside, that's what I mean.

hehehe time to overshare my brainrot headcanons, specifically for the nmcu portrayal :D

TW BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, specifically how it'd affect his relationships

i believe he falls somewhere under the umbrella of both asexual and aromantic, without a preference for gender. specifically cupiosexual or gray-asexual, and gray-romantic or demiromantic.

dex doesn't have much experience in long-lasting relationships, due to dedication to work, and misunderstandings about his personality disorder and low (cognitive) empathy.

he's attracted to emotional maturity and intelligence, over aesthetics, and needs the person to be patient with his outbursts and misunderstandings. communication and patience is a must have in any form of relationship with him, romantic or platonic, beacuse he can react impulsively and has extreme emotional swings, a lot of which can be due to a misunderstanding.

communication would be a big part of the relationship; explanations from both partners on intentions, how it was perceived, and what they could both do better in the future. also just general communication on both partners' needs/wants in a relationship, and checking in on eachother.

he has a massive fear of rejection and abandonment, so that too would come up often, small daily reminders that his partner loved him would help to ease the fear somewhat.

he'd be willing to try an open relationship, but only of the synamorous kind.

cough cough definitely has a major attraction to fighters, beating eachother up/training together would leave him all hearteyed.

low quality bullseye edits, with variant bullseyes, because i'm still angsty about dex's costume in disney's born again :DD

[molstkiwi]

i'm boycotting everything disney, and jon bernthal (the punisher), but wilson bethel (bullseye) being a vocal — and jewish!!! — palestine supporter brings me so much joy

so glad someone in the cast is a decent human being, and that he hasn't lost this opportunity because of it, like some other actors

Extra tips from other rebloggers down below, I add it here so its easier for others to see. If anyone reblogged with more tips, I'll add yours as well. May this be helpful:

@lercymoth:

"Be advised, police have the tools to detect who's phones are at a protest. If you can, bring a recording device other than your phone."

@stuntwocket:

"Phones can be encrypted to prevent state actors from accessing footage, cameras cannot. There’s no correct answer, but both pieces of information are important when deciding what you’re going to bring."

@lotsa-cats-in-a-trenchcoat:

"Also a good idea to look into faraday bags. They make your phone undetectable. Better keep your phone on you just in one of those in case you need to contact someone urgently."

@silvergryphonart:

"This is your excuse to buy a recording spy pen. You know you want to. They’re not even expensive. They’re not even rare." (The user shared this info for the greater good, don't you dare using it for nasty stuff)

@doug-dimmadumb:

-Airplane mode or bring a burner phone. Keep lots of encryption apps and VPNs on your phone if you can, and make sure you know how your connection works well. Signal is necessary. Travel in groups.

-Follow the tactics of the Hong Kong protesters. These cops, overconfident from their massive budgets, are likely more susceptible. But do be careful not to put yourself or others in danger.

-Use whatever resources you can to protect yourself. Remember you are not alone. Remember there may be agitators.

-Zionists are evil and vile, but they just want a reaction from you. Try not to engage with them. They're just spewing shit. You're stronger, better than them. Let them spew their crap and focus on the challenges at hand.

-Dont. Give. Up.

Benjamin Poindexter and a Cat

Benjamin Poindexter (Daredevil) Headcanon

A/N: This is my first attempt at a headcanon…lemmie know if I did this wrong and it’s called something else haha

How Dex be with a kitten in his home:

-It would have to be an especially laid back sort of kitten for it to work. A rambunctious little ball of fluff would be WAY too disruptive to his routine and wouldn’t be around long. An older cat that was already settled and trained would be a better fit.

- The cat would be well cared for. Dex may not have empathy, but he builds his life on routine and structure. Adding in feeding, catbox, and the occasional brushing would be easy enough. He would also be aware of the cat’s need to play and provide toys and multiple scratching posts and toys.

- If the cat ignored the scratching post and destroyed his furniture instead, Dex wouldn’t have a cat anymore.

- Honestly, he only got the cat because he knew it would make you happy and more inclined to visit him.  He likes having you around.

- If the cat takes to it, there would be some pretty wicked games of chasing the jingling ball. Dex would play the angles so well, the cat could chase it from one end of the apartment to the other with one toss.

- Dex would secretly be impressed if the cat managed to stop the ball before it bounces off too many surfaces.

- As the cat sits quietly on the couch next to him, Dex finds himself absently petting the cat. He only realizes what he’s doing when the cat starts to purr.

- It takes another moment to understand the cat is incredibly happy and content with his company.

- Feeling his own fleeting moment of contentment, Dex smiles softly.

disney better add bullseyes to dex's costume in post, or i swear to god i'll spend hours manually adding stickers to every frame

folk who claim 'art is elitist' like to ignore that humanity has and always will find ways to make art

paint started as dirt and clays mixed with animal fats. weeds, barks, flowers make amazing dyes and inks. cheap crayons, pens, and pencils are bountiful. free art apps are great when you don't have the room

make art with whatever, professional grade supplies are not mandatory
