HYPNOTIZED is what you do.
BRAINWASHED is what they become after you've hypnotized them.
It's important to know the difference.

I think in browsing here for a day I've run into more pretty spirals than I have in the entire rest of the year. I dunno whether to be concerned or happy how many of them make we wanna just peer into them.
Maybe my brain really is that simple after all!
Dignity
CW for probable hypnotic language somewhere! But also this is more a ramble than anything.
Dignity is weird.
There are some things that feel like they are somehow forbidden. The deepest, most intense, most lustful recesses of desire. And there's an appeal to how they are locked away behind this barrier of dignity. The idea that one could be persuaded, compelled, commanded to break through the embarrassment makes certain things all the more satisfying.
But also, like, there's such a thin, tiny, blurry line between the forbidden pleasures and the things I just don't like. Hypnosis is weird in this regard. I'm so inconsistent with myself! And I feel like once I fall down the wrong rabbit hole, I can't come back from it. Not in the good way either! Just in the "I did this thing once and now I can't take it back" way.
It's amazing how much a few words and a pretty sight can get out of me. Suggestions, temptations whispered in my ears, addictions stirred at the sight of the right pretty, mesmerising things...but how much can I really let them inside me? Sometimes I'll find things I'm not really into fully, just for the bits I do like, and I'll laugh a little at how silly it is to think anyone would fall for this...but if I paid a little more attention...stared a little deeper...would it affect me? Does it, in some subtle way I don't even realise?
Obviously never push people beyond their limits whatsoever! I'm still just trying to work out what mine are, and tell myself that it's ok to change my minds sometimes.
