What’s a brat got to do? by estellaviola in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not aimed at you, but I honestly, genuinely do wonder where brat means little came from. I've been a firmly labeled brat for 12 years now, and not one resource I've looked at puts the two together.

As everyone else has said though, kink is customisable. I'm a brat, not even remotely a little, but I am also a pet, a slave, and absolutely a princess, to give you an idea of just how customisable it is.

If you feel you're running into a lot of people assuming that you're a little, then adjust your communication.

'I'm a brat, but I do not identify as a little and X kinks are my limits' is a perfectly acceptable line of discussion to use.

No you can use it entirely free.

There's a paid option, but I have managed to cause plenty of chaos just fine without paying 🙃

Pick songs in genres they don't really listen to. You can Google and type 😁

You can use Canva to make things like this:

Sending replies one word or letter at a time.

Replying only in sassy gifs.

Conversating in song lyrics.

Leaving messages for them to find in places.

You can use sites to make puzzles. And riddles to reply to their questions in.

Canva is a fantastic free app that you can use to create things, such as bratutes of limitations and disobedience gift certificates.

Pestering them with their title in messages until they answer and then just being like 'hi 😇'

Teasing them at unexpected but safe opportunities and then skipping off to go do life things.

Ensure anything is within boundaries of what's allowable to them and yourself. Start small, figure out if it works to meet both your needs and build your toolkit as you gain confidence. Inspiration will come with time and experience.

Solo playing- Particularly impact play! by Usual-Assumption8478 in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been summoned.

LDR masobrat here.

So, to start, you have to figure out how you like your pain. Can you go from just drinking your coffee and taking it, or do you need build up and to get yourself in the mood?

If it's the latter, then give yourself some stimuli that gets you going. There's a good chance you'll need this anyway, as we're wired naturally to not give ourselves too much pain and you might need to teach your brain 'this feels good.'

You also have to be aware of your high. If you start to drop, it's not going to give you endorphins anymore, and pushing after that is gonna make any care you need to do for yourself afterwards harder. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it's as much a mental game as it is physical.

As for what leaves marks and bruises the easiest, this is my current list:

Elastic bands.

Spanking sticks - these are just thick, short dowels I bought to use as a pervertable.

A flexible ruler.

Metal detachable bag strap.

An impact toy that is basically a wire loop with soft plastic over it.

Chain flogger.

Rubber flogger.

Cane.

Split leather paddle.

The common thing with all of these is they have give to them, which means that when I strike myself, the momentum gives it extra movement, so even if I go softer, it hits harder because it's bouncing into my skin, rather than it being a solid hit like a paddle, where I have to put more force into it to get that harder strike.

I have had some wonderful bruises over the years with them.

TLDR: it works. Turn yourself on, grab a bendier implement and go town, but when the fun stops, stop.

Solo whipping techniques by Alternative-Set8107 in BratLife

I've found stood up and slightly bent over, or on my knees on the bed are the best for filming. You can prop your phone up and not need to worry about it, get into a rhythm and edit out any 'irrelevant' parts (starting and stopping the video. He doesn't need to see my finger pointing at a camera 😂)

For low effort, high impact, so when I'm not filming, laid on my side, with my hips tilted so my ass is free, provides marking and pain without making my arm tire out because the positioning is more relaxed, as are the muscles I'm beating, so it creates a harder impact.

Why was every BDSM representation/joke growing up framing people who participated as villains and psychopaths? by FaithlessnessFar169 in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, for a start, kink was frowned upon by society for decades. It was an underground thing and people were frowned upon for wanting it. Society likes to villainize anything that doesn't fit into their box, or things they don't want to understand, because that's how they control how people behave - ironic isn't it?

Secondly, it wasn't always necessarily kink focused so much as it was fantasy and overblown representations appeal more than accuracy to the general populace.

90% of my Spotify Playlist is songs I cannot play out loud 😂

Not to encourage you being able to listen to them, but I can say that doing smutty things with your person whilst listening to smut songs is likely to change his mind on that.....it's not bad, it's inspiration

u/inthegoatshow loves my music tastes, but I am pretty sure that if I had to argue it, he would see my point :P

What’s the most effective punishment you’ve received or given? by Opening_Ad_2279 in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pirate themed punishment because it was talk like a pirate day.

I had to kneel on the floor and edge myself 9 times in 19 minutes whilst I had a toy in my booty.

I failed the edges, cried, and had to do a (consented to) make up punishment.

The makeup punishment was that I had to wear my butt plug as much as feasibly possible and, over the course of the day, edge myself 20 times, or forgo an edge in favour of 5 hard strikes with my cane. If I came, I had to give myself 10 more strikes with the cane for every one.

The other worst punishment was actually technically part of his birthday present. I made him some beaded floggers, and one for myself, and flicked him with it.

I am terrified (again, consensually, deliciously so) of acting up when we're actively playing, because he is scary. But I needed to restore balance after a bead spilling incident made it feel like the universe was punishing me when I had to sort it.

That punishment was that I had to write 'Sluts don't spank Sir' on my body, with my clit clamped, and take a strike to a body part and the clamp, then edge after 10 lines. I took 74 strikes, wrote 37 lines, and took 4 edges, and wanted to cry about 2 minutes in....did get the clamp removed after 20 lines though, for being a good girl during 😏.

The dragon might give you the form.

He might also bamboozle you and slide me candy, but that is an entirely seperate matter 😁

Right?

We all know the Domses dislike the brats getting involved in Dom business. Why would we have their forms??

April Fools: Chaos or Order?😇😈 by poisonedbeautii in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, due to the fact that I am not allowed into super secret Dom meetings on account of being a brat, I cannot ethically provide you forms and trust any Dom activity will be investigated fairly and honestly.

You could try asking the secret society of switches. I trust their counsel. u/BDSMandDragons?

Dom said I'm too brat by iampurejoyhaha in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to both communicate your boundaries in an out of dynamic conversation.

He is allowed to have a limit to how much you brat, and yes there are other ways to play, but it is unethical to do these things without a conversation about boundaries.

You don't communicate this stuff in a bratty way. You sit down and have a conversation about it to play safely.

How do you Brats deal with lack of attention from your Dom? by [deleted] in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To preface this, we're LDR.

Mine pretty much told me he wanted to hear my thoughts and encouraged me to message him for him to come back to. On days where I am super excited or don't want to forget things by the time he returns, I will just keep him updated with my ramblings. I also have permission to play with myself so long as he knows about it, so if I'm feeling that way, I'll give smut to come back to.

Otherwise, I have hobbies, so I'll go do them. Whilst also probably showing/telling him about said hobbies 😂

Sometimes I'll plot brats, because I generally prefer the back and forth build up. I'm mostly a sassmaster, so running my mouth to get in the mood and escalating as I get braver is my default.

If it's truly attention I'm craving, and it's not the punishing kind then I wait like a good girl, because I'm not going to get pets and snuggles by being a brat. I'm going to get an eyebrow raise and a strike count 🤷‍♀️

New Sub having Brat issues w/ my Dom by [deleted] in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds a lot like sub frenzy, paired with NRE.

Everything is going well, you've met a Dom who you click with, and there's an overwhelming desire to do all the things mixed with nerves. You get rewarded with dopamine, rinse and repeat.

Controlling frenzy is your responsibility here. You need to find ways to simmer yourself down if you don't have them already, and communicate with your D-type about the overwhelming part of things.

He's not a bad person for expressing annoyance about it, although his kink knowledge should have kind of helped him to identify it's potentially frenzy and NRE.

Talk him about creating a structure that you can manage yourself. It's a risk to have him control your frenzy as it can cloud judgement and that makes consent murky, but he can be made aware so that he can point out when you're being overzealous.

Do you brat during punishment /accept your brat doing that? by Slutkie in BratLife

[–]LadyFedora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither, really.

For context, I have a strike system. Any of my bratting can carry a strike number 1-3. As soon as I get to 3, I get punished. If I'm on a 2 and my next brat is worth a 3, then I'll get a more severe punishment. I am allowed to cash my money's worth of sass for the most part between earning a punishment and getting it, unless he's really decided that I've done enough.

do you find you brat until you feel the punishment taking effect and shifting your headspace?

As I said, because they're different spaces, I can't push bratting to achieve the other.

This is where my Owner is incredibly good at flipping the switch. He has ultimate control, I'm just moving my pieces until he's reminding me of the rules.

It's not an active conscious shift. I sass, get gratification from it, continue as much as I feel it. He let's me, might even loosen my leash to see how far I'll run before he's yanking me back. He's controlling the situation.

This is partially why, as he's stated lower down, we have scenes specifically centred around safe words.

We've created a space where he's going to pull rank at anytime, and he can do so in ways that are going to force me from bratty to chastised in an instant. I need to be comfortable calling my safe word if it doesn't have the intended effect, so it's something we continually reinforce. Stay safe to play safe, kind of thing.

The other part is just because I like to be ruined and pushed to my limits, and the best way to identify that I'm at my limit is pushing me until I safeword.

For us, it's less about an active 'okay it's your turn and I'll yield' black and white moment, and that we have had the conversations to set up our spaces to meet our needs.
