2023.05.29 17:58 TallLab1036 An in depth profile of myself.
Hello hello. I hope you enjoy this short introduction of myself.
Some have asked why I've come here to seek this, and really, why are any of us here? We're searching for something that we can't find elsewhere so we've decided to give this a shot.
I've tried other sites without luck and dating is difficult in my area. By that I mean everyone is super country, as in enjoying fishing and listening to country music while complaining about liberals. Or, to phrase it another way - guns, God and Trump. That's a hard pass for me, so this seems like the next step.
A couple of things before I start:
Distance isn't an issue for me. I'm hoping to meet someone and chat to see where things lead, if there's a connection of any sort. If there is, we can move from there. Distance is a relatively small issue if you can find someone who is truly perfect for you, after all.
I should also mention that, for the most part, age isn't an issue. To some extent it will be of course, but I don't mind a bit of an age gap in either direction at all. If it's an issue for you, that's understandable; however, if you think it will be for me, well the only way to really find out is to message me, now isn't it?
I'm open to anyone who sees this and is interested (including those of any experience level) as I don't want to limit myself when I could possibly find chemistry with someone.
Also, while I am in general an emotionally intelligent, nurturing and supportive person, I'm also a massive sadist. To be more specific, I enjoy psychological sadism (although physical sadism is definitely fun too) and that is reflected in my kinks and, to some extent, my personality. While I believe boundaries and limits are to be respected at all times, and I don't enjoy anything if my partner doesn't, I absolutely love teasing, tormenting and torturing my partner in both play and everyday life.
Prepare for a mountain of text! It's a bit long, but I assure you it's worth the read. I decided that since I'm putting myself out there with a post, I want to truly and fully put myself out there and represent myself. I'm hoping that those reading this will recognize the effort that was put into this and get a good feel for who I am as a person. If you feel it's too much, save it for later, skim or even just message me if you would rather get to know me more naturally.
My post is cobbled together from thoughts, beliefs and realizations that I have come upon in my years in the lifestyle (which is why you might see slightly different styles of writing in different parts, this post is taken from my kink profiles and are the sum result of over ten years of experience that I find I still add to every now and then. I try to edit and organize it a bit from time to time, but it's difficult due to the fact that there's so much that I wish to include.)
Long story short, I can be a bit...rambly, sometimes. So apologies in advance for that, although I have recently made great strides in editing my post. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
While it's certainly a lengthy read, it's not nearly as bad as it seems. I recommend reading the whole thing (obviously since I wrote it), especially if you're interested in getting to know a kinky, geeky and empathetic person.
Now that I've covered that, it's time to get to the part you've been waiting for.
I'm a lighthearted, playful and fairly laid back, yet somewhat serious minded, person who's rather upbeat and probably too curious for his own good. I'm also kind, caring, friendly, sometimes cynical and often sarcastic (although in a lighthearted manner, and never at the expense of others.) There's nothing I love to do more than laugh; I love most things involving humor, although I do believe there's a very fine line between hilarity and stupidity.
Now, for some little bits of trivia about me:
Some bands I enjoy include:
While I enjoy relaxing and watching television, I have trouble watching hour long shows as I can only focus on it for so long before my attention wavers, around that time I start looking at my phone and just waiting for it to be over. It's also why I don't watch too many movies; I need my entertainment bite sized. I'll watch movies every once in a while, but they generally need to be 100 minutes tops (unless it's something I'm super into.).
I have difficulty getting into things that are realistic; they usually need to be fantastical in nature and capture my imagination. My preferred genres are comedy, horror (mainly supernatural, no slashers) and most things involving special powers or abilities, however I can sometimes get into action or drama as well. I also have a love for the world of animation, possibly because they tend to be more creative and aren't limited by reality; it's part of why I'm so partial to anime.
Some shows that I'm fond of are:
Gaming is easily one of my biggest hobbies and has been for many, many years now. I see it as an art form, as a way to tell a story that you can deeply immerse yourself in and get pulled into, something that can captivate you and make you lose all track of time because it's simply so engrossing. It's also a damn good way to have fun and kill time, especially when you're playing with friends. It's a big part of my life and something I have spent quite a bit of time and money on. Some people may be put off by this, but it a part of me that I will not deny or hide; after all, if someone has an issue with that then how compatible could we possibly be?
Some video games that hold a special place in my heart are:
Some board games that I love are:
Bring up video/board/tabletop games, super powers, comics, cartoons, anime, manga, sci-fi, fantasy or technology and I'll happily chat your ear off. I'm quite social and love to talk, however I'm also an introvert so there are plenty of times where the pressure of constant social interactions with others gets to me and I need to take some time to myself to mentally recharge.
As I mentioned, I absolutely adore animals. Seriously, if you want to make me hate a bad guy, have him hurt an animal. Ironically, I'm practically a carnivore. I'm convinced that I would starve if I had to hunt for my own food just because I couldn't bring myself to hurt them.
Speaking of food, I'm a bit of a foodie (I dislike that word, but it's accurate.) I'm all about sauces, seasonings and spices, not to mention a love for anything deep fried. I love experiencing different tastes and textures while trying new things...as long as they're not vegetables. No veggies, except corn and potatoes; those two get a pass as they're amazing. I also enjoy onions and peppers in small quantities in dishes.
I've got a nice guy next door look in that I have no tattoos or piercings, have glasses, stay clean shaven and have a bit of a baby face (as in I look rather young, I often get mistaken for being in my mid 20's). I wouldn't say that with my look I would be called handsome, sexy or hot (however I am often called cute (I've also been called handsome a fair amount, it still feels weird though.) I'm also rather pale due to the fact that I stay indoors most of the time (if you can't tell from that, I'm white.) Because of my appearance, and my friendly and laid back nature, people tend to view me as rather innocent. I suppose that isn't entirely incorrect though, I'll admit that I can be a bit naive at times in regards to people and the world.
As for politics and religion, I tend to try to stay away from both.
While I believe I'm somewhat in the middle for the former, as I have views from both sides, if I had to choose I'd say I definitely lean way more towards the left. I believe in the greater good, the needs of the many over the needs of the few, in advancing science and finding alternative fuels and materials that don't pollute or destroy our environment in the process, in trying to create a brighter future, etc, etc. I'm definitely not on the far left however, and hate social justice and cancel culture. I'm empathetic and all, but people need to stop getting offended by every tiny thIng and creating problems that don't exist. That's definitely not exclusive to the left, the right is very guilty of it as well.
For the latter, I generally just consider myself not religious as I don't think or care about it too much. If I had to classify it though I'd say I'm agnostic. This means that, while I don't believe in any god or gods, I acknowledge that they might exist. While I'm 99.3̅3̅3̅% certain that there is no grand creator or afterlife, there's no real way we can know for certain. We're a very young and ignorant species, there's much about life and the universe that we are unaware of or don't understand yet.
I just try to focus on being a good person and doing right by others, not for some earthly or heavenly reward, or for a smug sense of self satisfaction, but because it's simply what I want to do. It's who I am and what makes me feel good about myself.
I try my best to live by The Golden Rule (also known as treat others you the way you wish to be treated or do unto others as you would have them do unto you), being guided by own moral compass that directs me in how I interact with others. I always do my very best to make others feel wanted, cared for, appreciated and understood, to give them validation; I never want anyone to feel left out or unwanted, for any reason at all. Perhaps it's from my own difficult childhood, since I felt that way when I was young and don't want others to go through the same things that I did. Whatever the reason, whenever I say or do anything I tend to, without even realizing it, think about how it will affect the other person and the different ways that it could be taken. I strive to treat others with the courtesy and respect that I believe that they deserve.
As I mentioned, I have a strong moral compass. The only problem is, this is true North for my compass; I feel that's the correct way to treat and interact with others, and I believe that's what everyone should do. So when other people don't act in the way that I believe they should, even though I know everyone is different and everyone has different thoughts, feelings and experiences that led them to those (we are the product of our environments after all), it can bother me. I've come to realize that this is due to holding myself to extremely high standards, and often holding other people to the same standards to which I hold myself.
Unfortunately, that can lead to conflicts with others, sometimes over things that they might feel to be insignificant. It doesn't happen very often though as I can recognize whether something is actually a big deal or not and put it to the back of my mind; I wouldn't be a very good friend or partner if I nitpicked over every little thing, now would I? Despite being very much driven by my moral compass, I'm also calm, collected, understanding and logical by nature.
I've realized that I used to put a lot of pressure on myself when interacting with others, trying to be funny and entertaining, overall trying to make sure that they were having a good time and enjoying themselves. If, for whatever reason, I felt that they were bored I ended up trying even harder to keep them engaged and joyful. It was somewhat of a bad habit of mine; I suppose I just felt like I had a personal stake in everyone that I interacted with, a responsibility almost, and didn't want to leave them wanting. I still do this to some extent, but not as much as I used to; as I've grown and matured, and my anxiety has lessened, I've learned to pull back a bit and that I don't need to carry everyone's burden on my shoulders. I still wish to keep people engaged and happy, and still take on more responsibility than I probably should, however I imagine that I'll always be that way; it's just in my nature.
I'm an emotionally intelligent and extremely empathetic person who's well aware of his inner workings due to my introspective nature. I'm easily able to see things from multiple perspectives, which I believe is because of how I process empathy. I don't necessarily feel the exact pain of others, but I mirror it; it's second nature for me to put myself in their position which allows me to understand the plethora of ways they can think and feel. This is something that is a core part of who I am and that I take great pride in.
I feel deeply, which can lead to me taking things to heart and sometimes reading too much into things or overanalyzing them. Thankfully, due to my great experience in emotional control and regulation (which I'm about to go into), I'm generally able to take a step back from my emotions and understand the intent and meaning behind words and actions so there's less of a chance of misunderstanding.
Because I feel so deeply, that caused problems for me when I was younger. My emotions were a swirling vortex, out of control and ready to burst out at any second. Puberty certainly didn't make this any easier either.
It's been said that our personal identity is 80% environmental and 20% genetic. While I might be genetically predispositioned to feeling so deeply, a lot of it likely comes from traumas experienced in childhood and my inability to process them properly. They left scars that I'm still dealing with today, and as a result of said scars, growing up I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, depression and OCD, on top of the ADHD that I already had. However, I'm thankfully in a very good place thanks to a combination of past therapy, current medication and constant reflection.
I've done a lot of work to be able to get a handle on my emotions. Because I got used to having them under such control, I've been told that at times I can come across as kind of indifferent or hard to read. That's one of the reasons that I'm such an upfront, open, honest and expressive person; I want people to be able to understand me and I generally tell exactly what I'm thinking or how something makes me feel so that others can do that.
Honestly, one of my biggest fears is that no one will ever be able to understand me like I understand myself. It's right up there with a fear of the unknown (one is the reasons I don't do deep water, I don't want to fuck with any Cthulhu monsters that are down there) and losing my memories, as in the end we're just a sum of our memories and I don't want to lose who I am.
I never claimed to be perfect; I have my flaws as well, and try to work on them every day to improve myself as a person. Since I've already put so much of myself into my profile, I thought that it was only right to put the negative parts in as well.
While some of these things could certainly be considered negative traits, I believe that they help make me the Dom that I am. Because I AM so compassionate, because I AM so empathetic, because I HAVE been through so much and still keep going, I feel that I can give a sub or a slave what she truly needs to thrive in her environment. Feel free to read more about that below.
When you combine that with my nurturing and empathetic nature this type of relationship is the natural choice for me (more on that next). I believe that's also why I find myself naturally drawn to the weak, the helpless and the damaged. I have an overwhelming desire to heal them, to help and protect them while nurturing them and watching them grow into who I know they can be, which goes with what I was saying before.
A sub knows that her Dom loves her unconditionally and only wants what is best for her. While I do certainly enjoy doing this, I primarily do this to help my sub above all else. I'm a nurturing soul who wishes nothing more than to protect his partner. To take care of her and help her when she needs it. To be her support and her life line. To give her the guidance, structure and discipline she needs to feel fulfilled in life. To set rules and guidelines so that she can move freely within those set limits and be happy. To help her decide what is best for her when she herself doesn't know. To provide the security and comfort of knowing that she is being taken care of and that she has someone she can talk to about anything without any sort of judgment or prejudice. I want her to thrive and become the person that she was always meant to be. I enjoy pushing my sub to explore her boundaries and limits, within reason of course. I simply wish to see her flourish and blossom, to help her become what I know she can be and reach higher plateaus.
I realize the previous paragraphs could sound condescending in some ways, however that couldn't be further from the truth. I see my partner as an equal, someone who simply has different needs that I can fulfill so that they can live a fulfilling life themselves, and in turn by fulfilling those needs of theirs, I feel fulfilled as well. We ultimately form a symbiotic relationship of sorts.
Make no mistake, I have no desire to micromanage every tiny detail of my sub's life, nor form a codependent relationship where she's entirely reliant upon me for her mental and emotional needs. The level and extent of the D/s relationship is decided after long discussion and input from both parties.
Some believe that being a Dom is just telling people what to do and getting what you want while getting off, but it's so much more than that. It's not as easy or simple as it appears, you must always keep what is best for your sub in mind, even if it conflicts with your own immediate or future interests. You must constantly be aware of her needs and desires while providing checks and balances to help her live a life worth living. Anyone can simply give a sub what she wants, it takes a true Dom to say no because you feel that is what is best for her.
At least that's how it should be. There are so many "Doms" out there that don't care about their subs at all, only themselves. They don't care if they're suffering physically or emotionally, they simply use them as toys they can play with and then toss aside when they're bored; they abuse them and hurt them simply because they get a kick out of it. A real Dom/sub relationship is a very special and strong bond, much more so than a vanilla relationship in my opinion. So many people seem to have issues understanding that unfortunately, there's a certain stigma associated with this and preconceptions are formed before they even learn anything about it.
Truthfully, I believe the sub holds the power in the relationship in many ways. She is the one that is choosing to submit after all, to give up her power and control to the Dom. Despite that, she is the one that has control over the power of safe words, that can stop an activity with a single utterance. Her subservience is completely voluntary, something that many people don't seem to think about. It's not simply about someone bossing someone around because they can, it's about someone choosing a partner that they feel is worthy to give their all to.
While the following is my ideal, as I said at the beginning, I'm open to talking to anyone that reads this. However, I'm not particularly interested in "littles" or "brats".
Ideally my partner would be what is typically called an adult babygirl, and I'd like to elaborate on that term since some might not be familiar with it. Essentially it's someone who enjoys the nurturing, loving and structured aspect of a Daddy Dom or DD/lg relationship but isn't a little themselves; meaning that they don't have a mental age that they regress to, among other things. (I don't identify as a Daddy myself, however due to my protective and supportive/nurturing nature you could say I'm Daddy leaning.)
Some people have their entire lives revolve around the lifestyle, going to munches, conventions, parties and attempting to reach out to their community and find a place to belong. That might work for them, but it's of no interest to me. While I'm certainly not opposed to chatting and making friends and connections, I have no desire to be a part of a community. I'm simply seeking one whose ideas and beliefs line up with my own for a symbiotic relationship as I mentioned before
If I had to describe such a relationship, it would definitely be on the lighter side of the spectrum in regards to what daily life would be like. I'm seeking a 24/7 TPE, however I also enjoy being casual with my sub. Perhaps in some ways it's more similar to a vanilla relationship with strong Dom/sub undertones than a typical BDSM relationship.
In my perfect situation, we would still be able to joke around, have fun and be very close and romantic; however there is also the constant understanding that I am in charge, and what I say goes. No matter how much fun we may be having or what we might be doing, she should always know her place, even if it's only in the back of her mind. There are rules in place for her benefit, and if she breaks those rules she will be punished.
By what I say goes, I mean I have the final say in subjects because, as a submissive, she has given the reins of power over to me. She trusts me to make her decisions for her and to do what is best for her, to take care of and protect her. I'm never the type to say "this is how it's going to be, I don't care what you want, end of discussion" as discourse is the only way two people can truly understand one another. I always value my submissive's input and always want her to give her opinion and speak her mind if something is bothering her.
My ideal sub would be one that is loyal and devoted above all else, but also one who is looking for a Dom she can actually have a connection with. One that, not necessarily needs, but craves guidance, support, structure and discipline in their life; whose life does not feel complete without this, like there is a void deep inside her that cannot be filled unless she has a Dom to guide and take care of her, that she can in turn make happy and serve to the best of her ability.
Beyond anything else though, I want to like them as a person before I love them as a sub. My perfect partner would be someone who is intelligent, kind-hearted, earnest, funny and a has a fair touch of dorkiness in her. I want her to be someone that actually has personality, that I can laugh with and talk to for hours upon hours on end and still hate the thought of leaving. Someone that will either indulge my love of games and geekery or join me because she's just as much of a fan of those things as I am. Someone who loves how I tease and torment her, keeping her on the edge and revelling in the pleasure I get from watching her squirm.
One thing to note is that just because I am very friendly (sometimes people are surprised when I begin acting more Dominant, others aren't as they say they can "sense it in the way I present myself", even while being friendly and joking around) doesn't mean that I'm not strict when I have to be. I have no problem at all with enforcing rules and giving out punishments, although it's certainly not my favorite aspect of the relationship. I would prefer to reward, encourage and nurture my sub, however there are times when discipline is necessary; if one feels the need to act up, one must be ready accept the consequences after all.
If I had to describe my style of dominance, or what makes me dominant, I suppose that would be a little tricky. I don't feel the need to control everything, nor do I attempt to, and I have no problem with kicking back and letting others take the reigns in everyday situations if I feel they're more qualified or I just plain don't feel like it. Nor am I the type that "oozes" dominance, I don't care for confrontation and am a very easy going, go with the flow person. What I believe it boils down to is I simply feel comfortable with power and, quite frankly, enjoy it. I bear the burden of leadership well, it comes naturally to me and I thrive when I have the weight of another's life on my shoulders; I have little trouble making hard decisions when I need to. It also helps that my sexual inclinations line up with this nicely. If it doesn't last quite some time and doesn't end with both parties panting and soaked in sweat, I'm not particularly interested in it.
On that note, I have quite the kinky side despite my friendly and charming exterior. I suppose I should list it here because, while certainly not the primary focus of my interest in this, sexual compatibility does factor in to some extent.
My kinks are:
I also believe very strongly in aftercare and safe words as the mental and emotional well being of my partner is very important.
I realize there's no one way to live this lifestyle, but I feel like a lot of what I said should be obvious and general knowledge in regards to this; however from my experience it doesn't seem to be that way too often (not referring to the that are inexperienced in this, more those that do this for the wrong reason), which is why I wanted to share my views in such detail.
I feel like I've rambled on enough already and am dangerously close to having a TL;DR (yeah, I hit that ages ago), so I'll just say that if you're interested in learning more about me and getting to know me, you can give me a message and we'll see where things go. I like to get to know people naturally, just talk with them and see where things lead, whether that be a short chat, a simple friendship or something more. It seems silly to have expectations when you don't even know the person or how you'll get along.
Even if you're nervous or anxious, you think you might not be good enough, doubt my intentions or anything along those lines, still give me a message. After all, what do you have to lose?
Thanks for taking the time to read my little novella, I hope to hear from you soon. So long, and thanks for reading!

While it's certainly a lengthy read, it's not nearly as bad as it seems. I recommend reading the whole thing (obviously since I wrote it), especially if you're interested in getting to know a kinky, geeky and empathetic person.
Now that I've covered that, it's time to get to the part you've been waiting for.
About me:
I decided to put this part first because I believe that, above all else, the people involved should connect on a personal level and "click", if you will. This tells about who I am and my hobbies and such. If someone can't accept this part of me, how could we possibly get along?I'm a lighthearted, playful and fairly laid back, yet somewhat serious minded, person who's rather upbeat and probably too curious for his own good. I'm also kind, caring, friendly, sometimes cynical and often sarcastic (although in a lighthearted manner, and never at the expense of others.) There's nothing I love to do more than laugh; I love most things involving humor, although I do believe there's a very fine line between hilarity and stupidity.
Now, for some little bits of trivia about me:
- According to the Myers-Briggs system, I'm an INFP. Online tests can give you an idea of where to start, but they're not that reliable and the results can change depending on your mood that day. To truly discover your type requires self-reflection to learn about your cognitive functions, and while doing so I learned a lot about myself. I don't follow it religiously, but I believe there are some elements of truth to it.
- I'm definitely a Type B Personality.
- I'm a hopeless romantic, an old soul who's young at heart, a cynical optimist and a realistic dreamer.
- I'm definitely that type that believes in better safe than sorry, and one of my mottos is "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." I also tend to do copious amounts of research before any big decision.
- I consider myself to be a very grounded, down to earth and genuine person.
- I'm extremely friendly and believe in treating others with the same respect that you would like to receive and generally try to do what I feel is "right" by others (more on that in a bit.)
- I like to believe in the best of human nature, although I seem to be let down a fair bit. Even so, I don't want to let that stop me.
- I have very strong values and ideals, and an even stronger moral compass.
- I believe people are free to do and believe what they want, so long as they don't harm themselves, harm, cause trouble for or inconvenience others, or attempt to force those beliefs on others.
- I believe that a life lived for others is the only life worth living.
- I believe that there's no point in worrying about things that you can't change. If you let yourself get dragged down by it and obsess over it, you'll find yourself crushed under the weight of all the injustices in the world.
- I've been told (rather often actually) that I have a very nice voice, frequently being told that I should go into radio or be an announcer of some kind. I'm very expressive and my voice reflects that, having lots of highs and lows. Truthfully, I believe it's one of my better features.
- I much prefer talking to typing in general, especially when first getting to know someone as you get a much better idea of their personality. Also, I feel like I come across kind of...stiff in my writing style when that's very much not me, so voice allows me to showcase my truest self.
- I tend to be a confidant of sorts; due to my open and genuine nature and what I've been told is a welcoming...aura, I suppose, people tend to find me easy to talk to and trust, coming to me to confide things and seek out advice. This is something that brings me great happiness and pride as having the trust of others is important to me.
- Promises are very important to me; once I give my word in regards to something I'll keep it, even if I don't particularly want to. As cheesy as it might sound, to me my word is my bond.
- Admittedly, subtlety is not one of my strong points. I'm a very open, upfront and honest person. I'm terrible at lying (I hate doing it and I just give away that I am) and can't keep a straight face to save my life. If I were an actor, I would probably be Jimmy Fallon.
- I welcome people to give me constructive criticism and feedback as I'm constantly looking to improve myself. Yes, that even includes those that message me saying my post is far too long.
- I can't fake a smile to save my life, it has to be genuine for me. One of the many reasons I hate having photos taken of me.
- I find intelligence, humor and kindness to be the most desirable traits in a partner (although being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt.)
- My senses are all very sensitive, and can sometimes overwhelm me when I'm introduced to new stimuli.
- I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too. Wait, I'm just kidding, just wanted to throw a little Mitch Hedberg in here. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. While I have no issue with those who drink, I do tend to avoid smokers and hardcore drug users.
- Despite what the length of my post may say about me, I absolutely hate writing.
- I enjoy visiting places but hate the actual traveling (which is one of the reasons why if I could have one power it would be teleportation [actually if I could have one power it would be the ability to manipulate space and time, however for simplicity's sake I'm just going to say teleportation for now {not Star Trek teleportation though, fuck that.}])
- I hate waiting and I hate making others wait.
- I love the symbolism of trees and what they represent: strength, vitality, protection.
- If I had to rank the seven deadly sins in the order that I'm guilty of from most to least, it would go: Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Greed and Wrath.
- If I were to list the Magic the Gathering colors that I most identify with from most to least, it would go: White, Blue, Green, Red and then Black.
- Growing up I was all about DBZ, Dinosaurs, Gargoyles, Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, Pokémon, Power Rangers, Spider-Man & X-Men.
- I absolutely love animals and have two cats of my own, Ivy and Jasmine (there are wonderful stories behind both names), that I love to death. I probably talk to them like people a bit too much.
- I spend far more time living in my head than I should.
- I firmly believe that breakfast offers the best food. I could eat waffles everyday.
- I call Gatorade by their flavors as opposed to their colors.
- I absolutely love when I'm thirsty and soda burns my throat.
- You won't catch me running unless something is chasing me. Partially because I have asthma, but mostly because running is awful.
Some bands I enjoy include:
Adelitas Way, Amaranthe, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Evans Blue, Five Finger Death Punch, Gemini Syndrome, Otherwise, Pop Evil, Sevendust, Shinedown, Shaman's Harvest, State of Mine, Theory of a Deadman, Three Days Grace (before Adam Gontier left)I enjoy other types of music as well, for example another band I like is Bowling for Soup as I love their sense of humor; it's great to see people not taking music so seriously. I'm also a fan of big band music, which I actually have Fallout 3 to thank for. I enjoy classical musical as well and, despite having no real knowledge of it and most of it sounding the same, I find it incredibly relaxing and peaceful.
While I enjoy relaxing and watching television, I have trouble watching hour long shows as I can only focus on it for so long before my attention wavers, around that time I start looking at my phone and just waiting for it to be over. It's also why I don't watch too many movies; I need my entertainment bite sized. I'll watch movies every once in a while, but they generally need to be 100 minutes tops (unless it's something I'm super into.).
I have difficulty getting into things that are realistic; they usually need to be fantastical in nature and capture my imagination. My preferred genres are comedy, horror (mainly supernatural, no slashers) and most things involving special powers or abilities, however I can sometimes get into action or drama as well. I also have a love for the world of animation, possibly because they tend to be more creative and aren't limited by reality; it's part of why I'm so partial to anime.
Some shows that I'm fond of are:
Animation: Adventure Time, American Dad, Archer, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Bob's Burgers, Bojack Horseman, [China, IL], Disenchantment, Futurama, HarmonQuest, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, King of the Hill, Metalocalypse, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Mr. Pickles, Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken, South Park, Superjail, Ugly Americans, Venture Bros.I definitely binge my shows, I like to wait for a season (or preferably an entire series) to be done before I jump into it. I'm also the type that's fine watching something just once. If I ever feel the need to watch it again it will be many, many years later. This extends to games as well, I generally need things with replayability such as MOBA's or Rogue-likes.
Live-action: Arrested Development, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Carnivàle, Dexter, Eureka, Friends, Game of Thrones, The Good Place, House, The Lost Room, Monk, The Muppets (2015 series), The Office, Parks and Rec, Psych, Stargate, Stranger Things, Walking Dead, Warehouse 13, Wilfred
Gaming is easily one of my biggest hobbies and has been for many, many years now. I see it as an art form, as a way to tell a story that you can deeply immerse yourself in and get pulled into, something that can captivate you and make you lose all track of time because it's simply so engrossing. It's also a damn good way to have fun and kill time, especially when you're playing with friends. It's a big part of my life and something I have spent quite a bit of time and money on. Some people may be put off by this, but it a part of me that I will not deny or hide; after all, if someone has an issue with that then how compatible could we possibly be?
Some video games that hold a special place in my heart are:
Action/Adventure: Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Bastion, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bayonetta, Brütal Legend, Bully, Darksiders, Dark Souls (first one), Deadly Premonition, Dead Space, Devil May Cry (3 & 5), Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Heavy Rain, Hellblade, Infamous, Last of Us, Legend of Zelda (A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker), Luigi's Mansion, Metal Gear Solid (Twin Snakes, 3, 4 & 5), Ninja Gaiden (2004), Overlord, Phantom Crash, Resident Evil 2 remake, Saint's Row 2, The Saboteur, TMNT: Turtles in TimeNot only that, but I've also gotten into tabletop gaming, including both board and pen and paper games (such as Dungeons and Dragons.) I initially got into the latter as an exercise to strengthen my creative muscles but found it was a fun way to goof off with friends. For the former, it's almost gotten to the point that I enjoy them more than most video games as it provides an experience that you don't get anymore; friends gathered around and competing against one another or cooperating against a common foe, something that's disappeared with the advent of the internet.

Some board games that I love are:
BANG! The Dice Game, Dead of Winter, Dice Throne, Epic Spell Wars, King of New York, Lords of Waterdeep, Munchkin, Pandemic, Red Dragon InnI enjoy reading as well, although I find it difficult to find a book that can keep my focus and really draw me in like I crave. I'm constantly on the prowl for new material, and my favorite genres would probably be apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic, dystopian, horror and dark fantasy/grimdark, although I'm certainly in the market for something that has a good element of humor to it as well. If you have any recommendations, I'd absolutely love to hear them!
Bring up video/board/tabletop games, super powers, comics, cartoons, anime, manga, sci-fi, fantasy or technology and I'll happily chat your ear off. I'm quite social and love to talk, however I'm also an introvert so there are plenty of times where the pressure of constant social interactions with others gets to me and I need to take some time to myself to mentally recharge.
As I mentioned, I absolutely adore animals. Seriously, if you want to make me hate a bad guy, have him hurt an animal. Ironically, I'm practically a carnivore. I'm convinced that I would starve if I had to hunt for my own food just because I couldn't bring myself to hurt them.
Speaking of food, I'm a bit of a foodie (I dislike that word, but it's accurate.) I'm all about sauces, seasonings and spices, not to mention a love for anything deep fried. I love experiencing different tastes and textures while trying new things...as long as they're not vegetables. No veggies, except corn and potatoes; those two get a pass as they're amazing. I also enjoy onions and peppers in small quantities in dishes.
I've got a nice guy next door look in that I have no tattoos or piercings, have glasses, stay clean shaven and have a bit of a baby face (as in I look rather young, I often get mistaken for being in my mid 20's). I wouldn't say that with my look I would be called handsome, sexy or hot (however I am often called cute (I've also been called handsome a fair amount, it still feels weird though.) I'm also rather pale due to the fact that I stay indoors most of the time (if you can't tell from that, I'm white.) Because of my appearance, and my friendly and laid back nature, people tend to view me as rather innocent. I suppose that isn't entirely incorrect though, I'll admit that I can be a bit naive at times in regards to people and the world.
As for politics and religion, I tend to try to stay away from both.
While I believe I'm somewhat in the middle for the former, as I have views from both sides, if I had to choose I'd say I definitely lean way more towards the left. I believe in the greater good, the needs of the many over the needs of the few, in advancing science and finding alternative fuels and materials that don't pollute or destroy our environment in the process, in trying to create a brighter future, etc, etc. I'm definitely not on the far left however, and hate social justice and cancel culture. I'm empathetic and all, but people need to stop getting offended by every tiny thIng and creating problems that don't exist. That's definitely not exclusive to the left, the right is very guilty of it as well.
For the latter, I generally just consider myself not religious as I don't think or care about it too much. If I had to classify it though I'd say I'm agnostic. This means that, while I don't believe in any god or gods, I acknowledge that they might exist. While I'm 99.3̅3̅3̅% certain that there is no grand creator or afterlife, there's no real way we can know for certain. We're a very young and ignorant species, there's much about life and the universe that we are unaware of or don't understand yet.
I just try to focus on being a good person and doing right by others, not for some earthly or heavenly reward, or for a smug sense of self satisfaction, but because it's simply what I want to do. It's who I am and what makes me feel good about myself.
I try my best to live by The Golden Rule (also known as treat others you the way you wish to be treated or do unto others as you would have them do unto you), being guided by own moral compass that directs me in how I interact with others. I always do my very best to make others feel wanted, cared for, appreciated and understood, to give them validation; I never want anyone to feel left out or unwanted, for any reason at all. Perhaps it's from my own difficult childhood, since I felt that way when I was young and don't want others to go through the same things that I did. Whatever the reason, whenever I say or do anything I tend to, without even realizing it, think about how it will affect the other person and the different ways that it could be taken. I strive to treat others with the courtesy and respect that I believe that they deserve.
As I mentioned, I have a strong moral compass. The only problem is, this is true North for my compass; I feel that's the correct way to treat and interact with others, and I believe that's what everyone should do. So when other people don't act in the way that I believe they should, even though I know everyone is different and everyone has different thoughts, feelings and experiences that led them to those (we are the product of our environments after all), it can bother me. I've come to realize that this is due to holding myself to extremely high standards, and often holding other people to the same standards to which I hold myself.
Unfortunately, that can lead to conflicts with others, sometimes over things that they might feel to be insignificant. It doesn't happen very often though as I can recognize whether something is actually a big deal or not and put it to the back of my mind; I wouldn't be a very good friend or partner if I nitpicked over every little thing, now would I? Despite being very much driven by my moral compass, I'm also calm, collected, understanding and logical by nature.
I've realized that I used to put a lot of pressure on myself when interacting with others, trying to be funny and entertaining, overall trying to make sure that they were having a good time and enjoying themselves. If, for whatever reason, I felt that they were bored I ended up trying even harder to keep them engaged and joyful. It was somewhat of a bad habit of mine; I suppose I just felt like I had a personal stake in everyone that I interacted with, a responsibility almost, and didn't want to leave them wanting. I still do this to some extent, but not as much as I used to; as I've grown and matured, and my anxiety has lessened, I've learned to pull back a bit and that I don't need to carry everyone's burden on my shoulders. I still wish to keep people engaged and happy, and still take on more responsibility than I probably should, however I imagine that I'll always be that way; it's just in my nature.
I'm an emotionally intelligent and extremely empathetic person who's well aware of his inner workings due to my introspective nature. I'm easily able to see things from multiple perspectives, which I believe is because of how I process empathy. I don't necessarily feel the exact pain of others, but I mirror it; it's second nature for me to put myself in their position which allows me to understand the plethora of ways they can think and feel. This is something that is a core part of who I am and that I take great pride in.
I feel deeply, which can lead to me taking things to heart and sometimes reading too much into things or overanalyzing them. Thankfully, due to my great experience in emotional control and regulation (which I'm about to go into), I'm generally able to take a step back from my emotions and understand the intent and meaning behind words and actions so there's less of a chance of misunderstanding.
Because I feel so deeply, that caused problems for me when I was younger. My emotions were a swirling vortex, out of control and ready to burst out at any second. Puberty certainly didn't make this any easier either.
It's been said that our personal identity is 80% environmental and 20% genetic. While I might be genetically predispositioned to feeling so deeply, a lot of it likely comes from traumas experienced in childhood and my inability to process them properly. They left scars that I'm still dealing with today, and as a result of said scars, growing up I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, depression and OCD, on top of the ADHD that I already had. However, I'm thankfully in a very good place thanks to a combination of past therapy, current medication and constant reflection.
I've done a lot of work to be able to get a handle on my emotions. Because I got used to having them under such control, I've been told that at times I can come across as kind of indifferent or hard to read. That's one of the reasons that I'm such an upfront, open, honest and expressive person; I want people to be able to understand me and I generally tell exactly what I'm thinking or how something makes me feel so that others can do that.
Honestly, one of my biggest fears is that no one will ever be able to understand me like I understand myself. It's right up there with a fear of the unknown (one is the reasons I don't do deep water, I don't want to fuck with any Cthulhu monsters that are down there) and losing my memories, as in the end we're just a sum of our memories and I don't want to lose who I am.
I never claimed to be perfect; I have my flaws as well, and try to work on them every day to improve myself as a person. Since I've already put so much of myself into my profile, I thought that it was only right to put the negative parts in as well.
While some of these things could certainly be considered negative traits, I believe that they help make me the Dom that I am. Because I AM so compassionate, because I AM so empathetic, because I HAVE been through so much and still keep going, I feel that I can give a sub or a slave what she truly needs to thrive in her environment. Feel free to read more about that below.
My Beliefs:
If I had to break down why this all appeals to me to one reason, to put it simply, I'd have to say that I'm the kind of person who wants to be needed. I find that, overall, I feel more driven and fulfilled if I know that I have someone that depends on me. If I have someone whose best interests I must keep in mind, who I need to protect and care for, I feel a greater sense of purpose than the humdrum rumblings of everyday life.When you combine that with my nurturing and empathetic nature this type of relationship is the natural choice for me (more on that next). I believe that's also why I find myself naturally drawn to the weak, the helpless and the damaged. I have an overwhelming desire to heal them, to help and protect them while nurturing them and watching them grow into who I know they can be, which goes with what I was saying before.
A sub knows that her Dom loves her unconditionally and only wants what is best for her. While I do certainly enjoy doing this, I primarily do this to help my sub above all else. I'm a nurturing soul who wishes nothing more than to protect his partner. To take care of her and help her when she needs it. To be her support and her life line. To give her the guidance, structure and discipline she needs to feel fulfilled in life. To set rules and guidelines so that she can move freely within those set limits and be happy. To help her decide what is best for her when she herself doesn't know. To provide the security and comfort of knowing that she is being taken care of and that she has someone she can talk to about anything without any sort of judgment or prejudice. I want her to thrive and become the person that she was always meant to be. I enjoy pushing my sub to explore her boundaries and limits, within reason of course. I simply wish to see her flourish and blossom, to help her become what I know she can be and reach higher plateaus.
I realize the previous paragraphs could sound condescending in some ways, however that couldn't be further from the truth. I see my partner as an equal, someone who simply has different needs that I can fulfill so that they can live a fulfilling life themselves, and in turn by fulfilling those needs of theirs, I feel fulfilled as well. We ultimately form a symbiotic relationship of sorts.
Make no mistake, I have no desire to micromanage every tiny detail of my sub's life, nor form a codependent relationship where she's entirely reliant upon me for her mental and emotional needs. The level and extent of the D/s relationship is decided after long discussion and input from both parties.
Some believe that being a Dom is just telling people what to do and getting what you want while getting off, but it's so much more than that. It's not as easy or simple as it appears, you must always keep what is best for your sub in mind, even if it conflicts with your own immediate or future interests. You must constantly be aware of her needs and desires while providing checks and balances to help her live a life worth living. Anyone can simply give a sub what she wants, it takes a true Dom to say no because you feel that is what is best for her.
At least that's how it should be. There are so many "Doms" out there that don't care about their subs at all, only themselves. They don't care if they're suffering physically or emotionally, they simply use them as toys they can play with and then toss aside when they're bored; they abuse them and hurt them simply because they get a kick out of it. A real Dom/sub relationship is a very special and strong bond, much more so than a vanilla relationship in my opinion. So many people seem to have issues understanding that unfortunately, there's a certain stigma associated with this and preconceptions are formed before they even learn anything about it.
Truthfully, I believe the sub holds the power in the relationship in many ways. She is the one that is choosing to submit after all, to give up her power and control to the Dom. Despite that, she is the one that has control over the power of safe words, that can stop an activity with a single utterance. Her subservience is completely voluntary, something that many people don't seem to think about. It's not simply about someone bossing someone around because they can, it's about someone choosing a partner that they feel is worthy to give their all to.
What I'm looking for:
I'm not here looking for a booty call or one night stand, but to find a potential partner in crime, possibly for life if a connection is made. More than anything, I simply wish to find someone who looks at me the way this girl looks at her prom date.While the following is my ideal, as I said at the beginning, I'm open to talking to anyone that reads this. However, I'm not particularly interested in "littles" or "brats".
Ideally my partner would be what is typically called an adult babygirl, and I'd like to elaborate on that term since some might not be familiar with it. Essentially it's someone who enjoys the nurturing, loving and structured aspect of a Daddy Dom or DD/lg relationship but isn't a little themselves; meaning that they don't have a mental age that they regress to, among other things. (I don't identify as a Daddy myself, however due to my protective and supportive/nurturing nature you could say I'm Daddy leaning.)
Some people have their entire lives revolve around the lifestyle, going to munches, conventions, parties and attempting to reach out to their community and find a place to belong. That might work for them, but it's of no interest to me. While I'm certainly not opposed to chatting and making friends and connections, I have no desire to be a part of a community. I'm simply seeking one whose ideas and beliefs line up with my own for a symbiotic relationship as I mentioned before
If I had to describe such a relationship, it would definitely be on the lighter side of the spectrum in regards to what daily life would be like. I'm seeking a 24/7 TPE, however I also enjoy being casual with my sub. Perhaps in some ways it's more similar to a vanilla relationship with strong Dom/sub undertones than a typical BDSM relationship.
In my perfect situation, we would still be able to joke around, have fun and be very close and romantic; however there is also the constant understanding that I am in charge, and what I say goes. No matter how much fun we may be having or what we might be doing, she should always know her place, even if it's only in the back of her mind. There are rules in place for her benefit, and if she breaks those rules she will be punished.
By what I say goes, I mean I have the final say in subjects because, as a submissive, she has given the reins of power over to me. She trusts me to make her decisions for her and to do what is best for her, to take care of and protect her. I'm never the type to say "this is how it's going to be, I don't care what you want, end of discussion" as discourse is the only way two people can truly understand one another. I always value my submissive's input and always want her to give her opinion and speak her mind if something is bothering her.
My ideal sub would be one that is loyal and devoted above all else, but also one who is looking for a Dom she can actually have a connection with. One that, not necessarily needs, but craves guidance, support, structure and discipline in their life; whose life does not feel complete without this, like there is a void deep inside her that cannot be filled unless she has a Dom to guide and take care of her, that she can in turn make happy and serve to the best of her ability.
Beyond anything else though, I want to like them as a person before I love them as a sub. My perfect partner would be someone who is intelligent, kind-hearted, earnest, funny and a has a fair touch of dorkiness in her. I want her to be someone that actually has personality, that I can laugh with and talk to for hours upon hours on end and still hate the thought of leaving. Someone that will either indulge my love of games and geekery or join me because she's just as much of a fan of those things as I am. Someone who loves how I tease and torment her, keeping her on the edge and revelling in the pleasure I get from watching her squirm.
One thing to note is that just because I am very friendly (sometimes people are surprised when I begin acting more Dominant, others aren't as they say they can "sense it in the way I present myself", even while being friendly and joking around) doesn't mean that I'm not strict when I have to be. I have no problem at all with enforcing rules and giving out punishments, although it's certainly not my favorite aspect of the relationship. I would prefer to reward, encourage and nurture my sub, however there are times when discipline is necessary; if one feels the need to act up, one must be ready accept the consequences after all.
If I had to describe my style of dominance, or what makes me dominant, I suppose that would be a little tricky. I don't feel the need to control everything, nor do I attempt to, and I have no problem with kicking back and letting others take the reigns in everyday situations if I feel they're more qualified or I just plain don't feel like it. Nor am I the type that "oozes" dominance, I don't care for confrontation and am a very easy going, go with the flow person. What I believe it boils down to is I simply feel comfortable with power and, quite frankly, enjoy it. I bear the burden of leadership well, it comes naturally to me and I thrive when I have the weight of another's life on my shoulders; I have little trouble making hard decisions when I need to. It also helps that my sexual inclinations line up with this nicely. If it doesn't last quite some time and doesn't end with both parties panting and soaked in sweat, I'm not particularly interested in it.
On that note, I have quite the kinky side despite my friendly and charming exterior. I suppose I should list it here because, while certainly not the primary focus of my interest in this, sexual compatibility does factor in to some extent.
My kinks are:
Anal, begging, biting, blowjobs, body worship, bondage, choking, cock worship, consensual non-consent, creampies, crying (the good kind), cumplay, deepthroating, degradation, desperation, dirty talking, face fucking, facials, free use, hair pulling, hole stretching (basically pushing my partner to her limits), humiliation, hypnosis, name calling, objectification, orgasm control (which includes edging, forced orgasms, orgasm denial and ruined orgasms), public play (in a discreet manner), slapping, spanking, spitting and teasing.One thing I feel I should mention is that the acts of degradation and humilation are limited to play time and only sexual in nature, never attacking my partner in any way.
I also believe very strongly in aftercare and safe words as the mental and emotional well being of my partner is very important.
I realize there's no one way to live this lifestyle, but I feel like a lot of what I said should be obvious and general knowledge in regards to this; however from my experience it doesn't seem to be that way too often (not referring to the that are inexperienced in this, more those that do this for the wrong reason), which is why I wanted to share my views in such detail.
Even if you're nervous or anxious, you think you might not be good enough, doubt my intentions or anything along those lines, still give me a message. After all, what do you have to lose?
Thanks for taking the time to read my little novella, I hope to hear from you soon. So long, and thanks for reading!

2023.05.29 04:14 Llamassu Does toy shelf 1 stand a chance against toy shelf 2?
Hey all, long time first time. I've been nurturing a growing fondness for collecting. I just added a new Gundam to the collection and while placing it on the shelf I wondered if that shelf had any chance against the one below it?
Team shelf 1: RX-78-2 Gundam x2, Barbatos Lupus Gundam, Mercury Aerial Gundam, Gundam Bael, Grogu x5 (star wars), Master chief, Random UNSC Spartans x7 (halo), UNSC Marine (halo), Mule Grunt (halo), Brute Chieftain (halo), Elite Sniper (halo), Jackal (halo), Zacian (pokemon), Purple Yoshi (Nintendo), Blathers (animal crossing), Michelangelo (TMNT), Raphael (TMNT), Agumon (digimon), Sephiroth (final fantasy),
Shelf 2: Broly (dbs), Ss4 Goku (dbgt), Frieza first form (dbz), Trunks (dbz), Tenya Iida (mha), Dark angel space marine (wh40k)

2023.05.26 23:07 GHPMoe Shouldn't Xeno Goku & CC Goku be Complex Multiverse?
THIS IS SOMEWHAT A CONTINUATION OF A COMMENT I MADE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO AND TO GET SOME FURTHER UNDERSTANDING BEFORE I MAKE MY DANTE SCALE...!
This is curious to me because VSBW and CSAP use extremely similar tiering systems and it pretty much explains Xeno & CC Goku are at least Low-Complex Multiverse. Let me explain:
(Pre-Upgrade):
But then the tier Low 1-C comes into play. (Before that) If you use CSAP to scale and scale DBS Goku to 5-D (translation), then that would put him at High-Multiversal+ or 2-A.
DBZ introduced cosmology and was introduced for the anime before Toriyama officially made it canon with the introduction of Whis and Beerus. A single timeline explores the idea of 12 or 18 universes within DB, and SDBH introduces this concept further with characters like Hit and Jiren appearing.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Super Dragon Ball Heroes have shown characters destroying, affecting, and creating entire universes and timelines within them. So, they fit the requirements to enter the 1-C ranges of power, so why not let them enter that range?
Further proof, Timebreaker Bardock and Mira made all of history disappear for a time in their battle. In the story, we have seen them equate History to Timelines. This was also mentioned by Trunks, so we can at least get some basic understanding.
Even further proof gathered from VSBW, The Time Vault (Toki Toki World) is the connection between the flow of time within every timeline (each contains 12-18 Low 2-C structures) and he threatened to destroy every timeline in existence, he would then claim to create new history.
...Not only did many characters surpass this version of Demigra after this point, but Base Form Xeno Goku was comparable to a more powerful version of Demigra...
And with the upgrade, Xeno and CC Goku/Vegeta/Trunks should be upgraded. But what do you guys think? It doesn't make sense to me how they can scale DBS Goku somewhere but refused to upgrade Xeno Goku to match.

This is curious to me because VSBW and CSAP use extremely similar tiering systems and it pretty much explains Xeno & CC Goku are at least Low-Complex Multiverse. Let me explain:
(Pre-Upgrade):
[Low 2-C] Equivalent to a large extra-dimensional space. That is a higher-dimensional "bulk" space that embeds lower-dimensional ones (Such as our universe) as subsets of itself, whose dimensions are not microscopic / compactified.In other words, Universal+ would be a Universe or Space greater than our own (in size) or the potential equivalent of our Universe because our universe maybe 3 + 1 dimensionally.
That is qualitatively larger than an infinitely sized 3-dimensional space. Common examples of spaces representing such sizes are space-time continuums (the entire past, present, and future of 3-dimensional space) of a universal scale.Again, Universal+ has some argument over the standard 3-A scaling and should be treated as such, I can understand that (I do believe that CSAP should get rid of High-Universe). So, baseline, Xeno, or CC Goku can be scaled to Universal+ before going into the feats via DBZ and DBS.
But then the tier Low 1-C comes into play. (Before that) If you use CSAP to scale and scale DBS Goku to 5-D (translation), then that would put him at High-Multiversal+ or 2-A.
[Low 1-C] whose size corresponds to one to two higher levels of infinity greater than a standard universal model (Low 2-C structures)This would mean that DBS Goku (who - at the time - was scaled to Low 2-C) would make Xeno and CC Goku scale infinitely higher since Universe 7 in the cosmology would be scaled to Uni+ and they are above that scale. But Xeno and CC Goku have even more to scale higher.
DBZ introduced cosmology and was introduced for the anime before Toriyama officially made it canon with the introduction of Whis and Beerus. A single timeline explores the idea of 12 or 18 universes within DB, and SDBH introduces this concept further with characters like Hit and Jiren appearing.

2023.05.24 08:38 ProfectusInfinity It's About Time We Discussed Dragon Ball's Afterlife Scans.
 | The Dragon Ball afterlife scans are pretty much a staple of DBZ cosmology bullshit at this point. Even without guidebooks, you could definitely piece together some kind of argument for higher dimensional afterlife based on how the afterlife is a higher plane of existence that's outside the living world's dimension of time and views the rest of the universe as a lower, temporal world. I myself, have tried my hand at forging arguments along those lines. submitted by ProfectusInfinity to PowerScaling [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ovf2vm03ip1b1.png?width=4041&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5e368a1239cb677351f02061980633eacacd84b You could probably make an argument for higher dimensional afterlife even without guidebooks, but the real debacle lies in the higher dimensional afterlife scans, which is what I'll be reviewing today. The daizenshuu 4 scan that started it all: \"天よりも高く、人間界からは窺い知ることができない次元を超越した天の国神々はこの地から世界のすべてを見おろしている \" This scan was translated by Hermes: a guy universally considered the most trustworthy and reliable translator in the Dragon Ball community who's provided accurate translations for over a decade. https://preview.redd.it/nt056dgcjp1b1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e75452167d33ff8137df620a65adc46cae22011 This scan seems to state that the afterlife is higher-dimensional. Most people have stated that Hermes translated this, but I haven't found a source for Hermes providing this translation, so I'd like it if someone reading this can hand a citiation over. Recently, some people have been trying to debunk this translation using this guy's interpretation. https://preview.redd.it/7kebzqcqup1b1.png?width=752&format=png&auto=webp&s=23ea13e3bf136d32adbaed15593bbfbb3f603657 This guy claims the machine translations over-literalized the "transcending dimensions" bit. However, I don't think his translation should be the be-all-end-all for a couple reasons.
There's also another translation by a Japanese native who interprets the scan as saying the afterlife transcends the "dimensionality" of the living world. https://preview.redd.it/9geewuh6vp1b1.png?width=580&format=png&auto=webp&s=e088732a902d4b7668d4f7f6b5504a9e37ffde96 Before I get to my next point, I have to address something. I've heard people say that this puts the afterlife at 4-D max, and here's why. https://preview.redd.it/zi403k0vmp1b1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e18f65fa5ad2d5a6ef5a9f5f4e273891d7fb377 Certain translations have stated that the afterlife only "transcends the dimensions that can't be perceived from the living world," and since mortals/humans perceive 3 dimensions, this would make the afterlife no greater than 4-D. This is wrong; it's a mistranslation brought on by machine interpretations. You see, the Chinese and Japanese languages are very conservative about commas. The scan's excerpt had declared two descriptors.
https://preview.redd.it/ke26pe3b6z1b1.png?width=892&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d0d1ba8a6f24b15564a8508e6439b218f99fc05 Anyway, with how often this translation is disputed lately, I decided to seek an answer. I went to a number of Japanese forums and asked this question. Unless it's rude to ask, I would like responses mainly from Japanese native speakers, please.I thought, I'd get a straightforward answer, but the varied responses left me surprised. https://preview.redd.it/ijecnhbovp1b1.png?width=1142&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d13c637514e8db53af7f78435c2980699ac879b Okay, now this translation is interesting. He makes a few different claims here.
https://preview.redd.it/tcp19k31wp1b1.png?width=957&format=png&auto=webp&s=6868ba5a165c863c1e9445fb25527a969006157c This person states that while they agree with the second interpretation, the other interpretations may be valid in their own right. Next up... https://preview.redd.it/rnkcl6ntwp1b1.png?width=952&format=png&auto=webp&s=817d3205bf158a321f878d62b301e4a0b97dc478 Interesting... this person says that "dimensionally transcendental" probably shares all meanings at once. Let's keep going. https://preview.redd.it/flanhkn7xp1b1.png?width=952&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f543a0d12311bcc5fe38a210d8c5452748dedaf This person suggests "dimension" could be a shorthand for "3-dimensional" (in reference to the normal, living world) and "dimensionally transcendental" could be a metaphor for how the afterlife is beyond the spatial qualities of the living world. It's important to note that they clarify how none of the interpretations are wrong, they were only reluctant to apply the third interpretation since from their knowledge of Dragon Ball, the afterlife isn't usually associated with specific spatial dimensions in the descriptions of its qualities. Shall we proceed? https://preview.redd.it/c9fajb6gxp1b1.png?width=1361&format=png&auto=webp&s=8803c14ab4ed976e0a38008fa6e744f5528071a7 This guy says it's wrong to push for "absolute accuracy" with translations like these as the phrase was likely left vague to be interpreted from multiple angles at once. Regardless, he considers the 'higher-dimensional afterlife' interpretation to be the most reasonable. Despite how varied the responses were, I think we can draw conclusions. [The afterlife is a spiritual world, the afterlife is only a physically higher world, the afterlife is higher dimensional: all these interpretations are valid at the same time. "Dimensionally transcendental" is one of those more compact phrases that's meant to encompass and deliver several ideas at once. Even when some Japanese natives chose one interpretation over the other, they clarified that all 3 interpretations of dimensionally transcendental had good merit. Not only that, but some Japanese speakers have chosen the 'higher-dimensional' interpretation foremost. With that, I think we can conclude that the notorious afterlife scan reasonably declares that the afterlife is higher dimensional, and alternative translations don't dismiss this interpretation in particular, but rather supplement it. This is a guidebook written in the Japanese language, and both guidebooks and the Japanese langauge seek to deliver as much information as possible with little redundancy, hence why there are several [equally valid] reliable interpretations of the afterlife scan.] Next, let's talk about the validity of this scan. https://preview.redd.it/a5nkykz3zp1b1.png?width=557&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3083e8f7fc7dd7ad8179ee314fde5dfac20f15d This scan has many takeaways.
https://preview.redd.it/angg6dad2q1b1.png?width=1031&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb8766e8848222296204e373ab0e7c3a17a1660a

2023.05.20 23:45 pebspi Why we should trust JJK
Full title: We should trust JJK/A polite rebuttal of some critiques/I’m outgrowing shonen and it makes me sad/I don’t fucking know.
Edit: in hindsight, a better title is "why we should give JJK a chance" not "why we should trust JJK." I don't think we should mindlessly assume the best, I just think we should give it a shot.
I’m kinda combining a few different posts. There’s a TL;DR at the bottom
Basically, I think we should trust JJK and give it a chance.
Thesis: JJK has done a lot of really cool, small subversions regarding the shonen formula, and while it arguably sacrifices immediate catharsis to do so at times, stories like this should be accepted for the future and evolution of the “Shonen Battle Fantasy**” subgenre.
**Shonen Battle Fantasy is basically my term for shonen stories that have superpowers and focus mostly on fights. Basically, DBZ, Naruto, Black Clover, etc. I feel like this label allows me to distuingish these shonen stories, which many think of as “typical,” from the demographic as a whole. If you have better ideas feel free to discuss them but please don’t flame me about it, I’m just trying to be specific while also being respectful to the terminology. **
First, side notes: I’d like to make it clear that the basis for my argument isn’t a sense of moral obligation towards Akutami or Shonen Jump. At the end of the day, they’re producing a product and we’re allowed to criticize it. You’re allowed to have doubts. I have doubts too. I’m not trying to guilt anyone, and I don’t want to come off like I’m guilting anyone.
Part I: I’m outgrowing Shonen Battle Fantasy…maybe
So, sometimes I feel like I’m outgrowing Shonen Battle Fantasy. I’m currently 25 years old and I grew up with Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Bleach. I’ve loved this genre- I love the theme of growth through struggle, the creative fights and powers, and the surprisingly mature themes. Lately, though, when a new one’s coming out, I just get the sense that I can see what’s coming and I already know who all the characters are. I know that these stories aren’t the exact same, there’s a world of difference between Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, but oftentimes the general ideas feel very similar. You got your nice but somewhat dumb hero, your harsh, edgy rival, friends and enemies with tragic backstories, some attempts at societal commentary that vary in terms of quality and accuracy, weird powers where everyone explains everything about a fight- y’all know what I’m talking about. Writing this out, I’m noticing that some of those tropes sound really general and maybe I’m splitting hairs, but you can’t help but notice them if you’re paying attention.
However, I have a huge personal connection with this genre and I want to keep that connection in some form, but it’s hard when I feel like I know the themes already. When I was young, it felt like every story changed my life and taught me something. Dragon Ball Z taught me to never give up, and Naruto taught me that people are products of their environment and they all have reasons for being how they are (but that said reasons are no excuse for knowingly being bad.) Bleach taught me to value the people close to you (from a plot summary, haven’t watched it- maybe I’m just impressionable), hell, even Yugioh taught me to keep your head down and focus on your own improvement instead of seething over times when you’ve been surpassed like Kaiba. It also taught me that you should emulate your heroes with the goal of surpassing them, not looking like them or just being clones of them because -like Shikamaru said- someday you’ll be the one leading the squad and paying for the ramen. As an adult, it’s not that I disagree with these messages or think they’re bullshit or anything-it’s just that I’ve already learned them. As a result, when I see another story say more or less the same thing, I’m kinda just like “OK cool -thumbs up-“ instead of having this huge internal thought process about it.
Now, I feel like some of you might be thinking “well that’s not Shonen Battle Fantasy’s fault. Sounds like it’s just not for you anymore.” Others may be thinking that and also “dude go touch grass.” Regarding the grass, yeah I could probably use it, But anyways, for one, I agree that it’s not Shonen Battle Fantasy’s fault. It’s not that these messages are bad or overly simple. I find solace in them to this day, in fact. They seem simple once you learn them, but given that so many people fail to grasp them to this day, they must not be. They just don’t hit the same way. However, I still think there is so much room to grow and so much that can be done with the genre. For instance, Dr Stone is applying the same progression system and idea of Shonen Battle Fantasy, but with science instead of fighting, and the end result is that it kind of makes me love life. When I watch Dr Stone, I feel the same way I felt reading little news booklets about science in elementary school. “Woah you can do that?” Hunter X Hunter showed fans how Shonen Battle Fantasy looks when you make the setting and just let it breathe without viewing it as a space for trope to play out. I’m not saying these stories are better than the ones we’re used to, but they’re cool ideas that occupy their own place in the Shonen Battle Fantasy niche. My main point is that new things are being done with the genre. It’s possible.
However, a challenge in that is that a lot of what we call SBF cliches are just good storytelling. Cliches are cliches because they’re overused, and those tropes get overused for a reason. Dumb, loud nice heroes are a good trope because they allow to have a morally good character who is flawed and has room for grow. Rivals are edgy and bitter to contrast them and provide parallels. Tsunderes are good because tsundere traits stop the relationship everyone is shipping from realistically happening until both parties grow up. Speeches about friendship and hope before big final attacks are good because they allow the emotional realities and themes to marry the literal actions on screen in a way that’s clear to the reader. PART II: So what does this have to do with JJK? One thing that’s cool about JJK is that it mixes some of the more subversive SBF ideas from other series with a more straightforward setting. It’s a straight up good-boy-punches-evil-demons type of SBF, but it has Hunter-x-Hunter-like tactical fights and the gore and brutality of Attack on Titan. Plus, it has some more gritty, more realistic character writing. The cool mentor is kinda arrogant and selfish, the monster inside the main character can’t be befriended and any attempt to work with him will come at a HEAVY cost. Being a standard SBF hero will fuck you over sometimes. Good people die very suddenly. It doesn’t change the whole SBF formula into something else, but it does feel distinct. It sticks with those old SBF cliches to make for a story with a solid foundation, but twists them all into a more dynamic direction.
Some people say JJK isn’t subversive, but I think that those people might be mixing up “subversive” and “deconstructive.” To deconstruct is to really crack open a trope, examine how it would go in real life, and comment on it. Subverting tropes just means putting small twists on familiar tropes in order to breathe life in them. Like I said, JJK isn’t really changing my idea of what an SBF is like Chainsaw Man or like what the Big Three and others did in the DBZ/Fist of the North Star area. However, it is giving me a good time, and that’s all it has to do. There are definitely twists on tropes- like, again, the hidden monster being unfriendable, the villains being far more active, and the people who live to fight having the personalities of people who live to fight (generally being selfish, rough around the edges, or troubled.)
Now, some critiques I’ve seen are basically asking JJK to be a little more standard, but in general, I feel like Akutami has been doing great when it comes to trope subversion. To be clear, nobody’s saying the exact phrase “I want JJK to be more standard” but a lot of what people are asking does happen to make the story more standard. I’ve seen some people say Itadori should be more involved in the Culling Games- I agree it sucked not seeing him for so long, but every fight in the Culling Games was perfection or close to it (minus Maki vs Naoya). I liked having so many fights between so many different powerful sorcerers. It would be hard to maintain that quality level while keeping Itadori. Also, I feel like the setting gets to breathe and be unique because Itadori isn’t fixing everything with his good boy powers like Asta from Black Clover or Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Asking Itadori to be more involved kind of feels like wanting things to be more cliché. The fact that so many characters are selfish makes them feel like characters. The fact that Megumi isn’t a rival obsessed with beating Itadori makes him feel like a much more believable “kinda dickish best friend.” Itadori’s character progression is really good minus him not being in the story- he’s becoming realistically embittered with everything that’s happened to him, and whether you like Akutami torturing him or not, he’s getting the intended effect from the readers. It’s a cool spin on what would happen to your standard meathead hero if they got fucked over repeatedly. I feel like some fans are, incidentally, asking JJK to be more standard when they ask Itadori to be more involved.
It might not end up with the ending we’ve pictured and it might not end up being as cathartic as we’ve wanted. I doubt things will end happily. But If we want SBF to evolve, we kinda need to accept that the result is we won’t get that immediate satisfaction we want in the name of telling a more intelligent story overall. For example, an ending I can see is that Itadori dies while saving all his doomed friends and gets his “good death.” I think this would be an excellent ending that would neatly wrap up everything while having real thematic, emotional depth- and yet I feel like fans would complain about it, but personally, I would love this ending. It would redefine the notion of a hero having a goal they’re obsessed with and accomplishing it without spitting in the face of it, thereby still adhering to the theme of “growth through struggle”.
Now there are weird moments: Yuki’s death and Megumi’s reaction to his sister’s death all feels random. It’s hard to tell if those are going somewhere or just missteps because it’s not finished yet, and it might just be that the manga is getting rushed like people are saying, but we don’t know for sure.
This post…is a mess. It’s a combo of like three different posts. Thanks for reading, and bearing with me, if you have. Here is a tl;dr
TL;DR: We should give JJK a chance even despite its weird choices because it has a chance to redefine how Shonen Battle Fantasy/Action Fantasy works, or provide a neat twist at least, and in order for us to accept that evolution, we have to accept that short term satisfaction might be sacrificed in some cases.
I really feel like this post is an unfocused mess but I wanted to release this before the next manga chapter came out.

For example, an ending I can see is that Itadori dies while saving all his doomed friends and gets his “good death.” I think this would be an excellent ending that would neatly wrap up everything while having real thematic, emotional depth- and yet I feel like fans would complain about it, but personally, I would love this ending. It would redefine the notion of a hero having a goal they’re obsessed with and accomplishing it without spitting in the face of it, thereby still adhering to the theme of “growth through struggle”.
Now there are weird moments: Yuki’s death and Megumi’s reaction to his sister’s death all feels random. It’s hard to tell if those are going somewhere or just missteps because it’s not finished yet, and it might just be that the manga is getting rushed like people are saying, but we don’t know for sure.
This post…is a mess. It’s a combo of like three different posts. Thanks for reading, and bearing with me, if you have. Here is a tl;dr
TL;DR: We should give JJK a chance even despite its weird choices because it has a chance to redefine how Shonen Battle Fantasy/Action Fantasy works, or provide a neat twist at least, and in order for us to accept that evolution, we have to accept that short term satisfaction might be sacrificed in some cases.
I really feel like this post is an unfocused mess but I wanted to release this before the next manga chapter came out.

2023.05.14 17:04 ottoman-disciple Some similarities between Sun Wukong and the saiyans in general
Like the title already mentions I wanna talk about some similarities between Wukong from Journey to the West (JTTW) and not just his counterpart Goku but the saiyans in general. I'm aware that there are probably dozens of posts like this both in this subreddit as well as in the dbz subreddit but I'm bored and felt like doing it.
submitted by ottoman-disciple to dragonball [link] [comments]
- obviously our beloved monkey boy Son Goku is a version of Sun Wukong and the first saga of dragonball is basically a loose adaptation of JTTW and Goku is the only one who shares his name with his counterpart but in Japanese. Furthermore he got his name from his very first mentor Son Gohan who is more or less the Subothi in dragonball, although Roshi is also said to be the subothi counterpart
- I've read in an article by a passionate jttw researcher and db fan that the Attack Ball space pod used by the saiyans and freezas men seems to be based on the rock that Wukong was born from. In the anime flashback about gokus origin we see the attack ball goku landed in and goku in another baby pod next to the open space pod which kinda mirrors the giant stone that split and revealed a the stone egg Wukong hatched from
- Another similarity I kinda see which may or may not be intentional is that early in the saiyan saga we have Goku and 3 other saiyans like him which is kinda like how in JTTW it was revealed that that Wukong is one of 4 celestial monkeys, the intelligey stone monkey, the six eared macaque, the red buttocked baboon and the bare armed gibbon.
- Another obvious similarity is that Wukong lead an army of monkeys that became strong warriors just like the saiyans being warrior race lead by a king.
- Wukongs monkeys were also once under the tyrannical rule of the King of Havoc and the saiyans became part of the Cold/ Freeza empire. Wukong after a long absence ended the King of Havocs tyranny and killed him avenging his fellow monkeys, Goku fought Freeza, defeated him, presumably killed him and avenged his people.
- Wukong was seeking immortality, the first thing Vegeta wanted after learning about the dragonballs was becoming immortal.
- Ozarus have red eyes, one of Wukongs prominent features are his red eyes and golden pupils. The golden pupils/ irises are also present in SSJ4 and Brolys Ikari mode.
- the DB counterpart to Wukongs golden fillet comes in the form of Brolys crown in DBZ movie 8 and his shock collar in DBS Broly that are used to restrain him.
- Saiyans seem to be very fast at learning new techniques. Goku has shown several times that it doesn't take him very much to learn something new that he just saw and mastering it (at least earlier in the story). Wukong also showed that he is a fast learner and that it doesn't take him long to master things he is taught or to immediately mimic the technique of others.
- the six eared macaque has acted as an evil version of Wukong. Turles served as an evil twin version of Goku (not actual twin but identical appearance) and Zamasu also impersonated Goku and became an evil version of him
- Wukong ascended to Buddhahood similar to how Goku and Vegeta have god forms and ascended in their own way to higher form
