End-of-Summer Therapy

Classes start in a week, so, Fandom, how was your summer? Did you get a tan? Fall in love? Are you still hoping to do one or both of those things before Labor Day?

Any lingering summer trauma, including the omg-island-of-vampires kind? Share. We love it when you share.

I dated a couple guys, and wound up with new good friends. Got to fight aliens, 'gators, vampires, and demons, and parts of the actual fighting were difficult, but I'm getting better at handling it. My powers seem to be growing? Or maybe I'm just getting better at controlling them in new ways. Lots of new friends who came in this summer, yay. Hung out a lot with friends I already had, too.

The whole vampire thing was traumatic, but... I think I'm doing pretty okay. I'm just confused now about other stuff because of it.

It sounds like a pleasant summer. What other stuff is there to be confused about?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2009-08-24 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Overall, yeah. And the vampire stuff left me confused about, well. Sex. And what I might like. If I ever really have it. Also I owe you a hug for being so cool with that threesome-save-the-world in Vancouver. That kinda made me realize I just had to deal, and not be all weird about it.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] B+W what's that?)

I think it was easier for me than it would have been for you. They don't keep child servants in vampire parlors for their skill at charades, after all. Nothing like the threesome happened -- I was a few years too young -- but it wasn't far off. At least I cared about one of the other people in the threesome.

I'm a fan of sex. And, using OOC knowledge, of being bitten. They really aren't so different.

Easier for you that it be for me, maybe, but still. You weren't embarrassed or ashamed of any of it. I needed to see that. Helped me get over myself.

The dividing lines between me and the person I'm with and what they like vs. what I like are screwed up, too. Maybe I'll end up liking this stuff? I wish I knew.

Being ashamed has never done anyone any good from what I can tell. I'm glad it helped even if it wasn't for you.

This is a comment from the outside looking in, but does it matter if it's what you like or what they like, as long as you're both enjoying yourselves?

...I don't know? Shouldn't it? I mean, what if it got out of hand? I'm not a vampire now, so I guess I wouldn't hurt anyone so much. But would I still like it afterward? Or them? It got all weird, after, with the guy in Vampire World. But that whole thing was messed up. I can't tell.

It's sex, Dinah. How out of hand can it get? Were you planning on bringing whips and motorized bulls into the bedroom with you?

I hope you'd at least keep liking anyone you let get that close to you.

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2009-08-24 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Taking a moment while the mun cracks up at the motorized bull image. And Dinah's expression.

...right. Okay. Fair point. Not starting out with whips. Even if they like that.

I hope so too. Maybe I should just be sure they're not an undercover secret vampire fighter with a deathwish. That can't hurt.
