Just a brief guide to the last 10 years, for anyone confused (I am conscious that most of my readership is male, so clear thinking is likely to be in short supply).
Sometimes the tags lead to posts entirely themed around the, erm, theme, sometimes just to posts that feature at least one captioned image in the theme. Just work with it, yeah?
Downton domination. Femdom from a more elegant age.
World War M. Reminiscences from when the war between the sexes turned hot; styled on World War Z. The war began in North America and was touch-and-go for a while, but the ability to multi-task and think rationally, on one side, as opposed to moronic sexism on the other, soon turned the tide. The last fighting, in the hold-outs in Texas and other Southern states, was intense. The conflict went global, finishing – naturally – in Saudi Arabia where some understandable acts of girlish exuberance following the final victory over patriarchy marred the ushering in of a more peaceful, better-ordered world. NB: the vets refer to their opponents as ‘mutts’, loosely based on an acronym for male terrorists, or occasionally just ‘M’. They also collect ‘trophies’ from dead mutts or, occasionally, live ones.
OWK Ladies remember. Reminiscences in the style of a TV documentary.
Bit of politics. Political captions, having nothing at all to do with Ben Elton apart from the title. All of the ‘President Hathaway’ series are here, many of them using screencaps from TV programmes. Possibly my most popular series, which is why it is unfortunate that it does not have its own tag, as there’s a lot of other stuff in the ‘bit of politics’ tag too (including anti-Brexit ones, just to bring the culture war home again). So you have to look hard for the President Hathaway stuff, but then life’s supposed to be difficult for males, isn’t it? Helps keep them focused.
Incidentally, the longevity of this blog is becoming a problem. Some of these Femsuprem victories were predicted in what is now the past rather than the future (which just means we have more to look forward to, I suppose).
Another world. Also political and therefore often included in the tag described above. But the politics in this world are… different. Still Femsuprem, but taking a more direct approach to redressing the balance of centuries of patriarchy. That’s what you get for disparaging democracy and trying to deny the results of an election, I suppose. Different paths… which will we follow?
Turning Points. Oh, you know what this is. Paltego likes these. So do some other people.
Hot chicks in empire-line dresses. Captioned images from earlier days than the period covered in Downton Domination – before the Gill Sans font was invented, even. Occasionally feature images of heart-stopping beauty, thanks to the movie Becoming Jane. NB: if you don’t know what an empire-line dress is, you’re not paying enough attention to your needlework lessons, sissy.
Advice to… well, to various people, really. To novice subs, to American subs visiting Europe, to male maids, even (in a spirit of humble suggestion) to novice dommes. From whence came, just last year, Rule 18. Note that Contemplating the Divine bears no liability for any injuries suffered as a result of following the advice presented.
Fairy tales. Stories and captions that are, erm… fairy tales. About fairies.
Includes my story The Lovelorn Blacksmith, which got some good reviews.
Speaking of stories… so many stories, not all consistently labelled as such. Actually, many of them are just captions that got too long to be a caption. So there aren’t many long-running themes but here are a few.
Mistress Valerie – ancient tales (most pre-blog), written for and about my first domme (whose name was not Valerie, but was not far off it either).
Serena and Alice – stories about a man-hating mad scientist and her girlfriend, featuring extreme, sadistic violence against males: torture, mutilation, scat, death. But at their heart, they are sweet and touching love stories, like all the best tales. Boy meets girl, girl meets girl, girls enslave boy and torture him to death for sexual kicks… that kind of thing. The first of these was written about ten years ago, so it was a bizarre revelation in the middle of last year when I realised that my two ‘steady’ dommes over… oh about the last six years now, were first Alice, then Serena. Kismet. Synchronicity. Or more likely just a coincidence.
Fembots – not a consistent series (unlike Freddie’s more sustained efforts) but I have dabbled in the genre.
A few favourite stories:
Missives, especially the third one
The Princess and the penis (also in ‘fairy tales’ surprisingly enough)
Final edits – humiliation, vaguely turning points-ish
Extra service – one of many ‘helpline’ stories
Can you imagine? – definitely not a ‘turning point’ and rather melancholy.
Cashless society – almost startlingly prescient, in retrospect.
Reprogrammed (fembot!)
Street vendor – looking for humiliation play.
Priorities (male maid! science!)
Tomorrow’s World – especially for Brits of a certain age.
Crossover – Just a little musing on what a ‘mainstream’ porn star (the wonderful Gigi Allens) thinks of her femdom work and the ‘men’ who like it… It’s about as complimentary as regular readers of this blog might expect. Is it a good story? Let’s just say that it has lots of pictures of Gigi Allens, so I expect we can agree the quality of the prose really doesn’t matter, can’t we?
Slave Tony. Bleak and depressing. No, really: it is.
Rewards and penalties. Much more fun. Read this instead of Slave Tony.
Waiting. A joke-free and I hope fairly atmospheric rendition of one of my most common fantasies: it’s all about the build-up to the beating, not the act itself.
Oh, and in case you’re losing touch with it: a dose of reality.
And finally, the only CtD post you’ll ever need. And yet, almost seven years on I am still knocking them out at a rate of two a week (oo-err!). In Gill Sans, obviously.
