i don't know how many Tops, Masters, Mistresses, Dom/mes, etc follow me but question for those who do

what are your thoughts on brats?

i personally don't mind they exist, but none of mine would dare. i'm the type to give book reports on non-fiction for bratty behavior

@pixelnull It's a specific flavour and dynamic (that I was recently talking about with someone who knows and does way more of it than me - I don't speak from great personal experience or expertise).

Get how it's not for all tastes, but wanting chatback and boundary pushing makes sense to me, as someone who's a dominant-leaning switch that, in a situation with sufficient trust, enjoys competition for and subversion of the dominant role.

I'm well aware a lot of dominants have low tolerance for that, but it fits symbiotically and potently into the psychological aspects of how I apply dominance, and it feels like brats and their appreciators fall into a less switchy but nonetheless somewhat comparable dynamic.

well, tbh i like a different dynamic that's similar to a brat but not the same.

i want my subs to keep me grounded. i like them when they talk back, but not to purposefully push boundaries. those are there for safety and mutual respect. i will gently push boundaries, but that's top prerogative territory.

but please... if i'm being dumb, cringy, or egotistical, make fun of it at my expense. that can easily be done respectfully. to me, that's not brat behavior.

if a person is my sub, i want to know they are doing what i've asked them. i think it's that i don't feel like i can trust brats is my biggest issue with the dynamic.

it might be my hang-up, but every brat-type i've ever known (3 that were mine, many more who weren't) had been a problem because they don't know when to chill with it.

@pixelnull Can't deal with brats; not dealing with that kind of resistance play.
