visited Berlin last week (2026-02-12) with @DemonNova, to attend the TIN & Friends at Quälgeist  

got to try some fun stuff there — including a pillory and being bound to wooden posts … with some estim and ouchies  

The marks from it lasted for a while. Well … some still do to this day  
These photos were taken a bit less than 24h after the event. :3

That's how Kitten's body looked a few days later (2026-02-17) … still carrying some marks of the play party and a few more that @DemonNova left later on  

have to assume the bruises on the knees coming from kneeling part of the when locked into the pillory and the legs wouldn't hold the weight anymore 

this is mew, just after the part, right before falling asleep next to @DemonNova in one of the worst hotels we have yet stayed at — no controls for heating (it was too warm), the window didn't fully close, water collected on it in the morning and started dripping down onto the bed, there were no blinds/curtains/whatever, the tap water tasted pretty bad, …

Time on the train towards Berlin was used to finally create a first draft for the overdue update to my safeword + "traffic lights" system. It still needs some refinement and proper spelling out of some stuff … but the direction feels good. 

(Over the last few years, a lot of our limits and the things we are interested in changed. Play is getting closer to often not quite known limits, which themselves can be played with in some settings … which needs some more nuance. And I had to learn that a few expressions (like "red") tend to be reserved as hard safewords at events … which was so far dealt with by swapping "red" for "pink". But having to think about the current context before saying something kinda sucks, so it should be taken into account for the general design.)

edit: oh, forgot the Berlin transport rant …
We waited over half an hour for a bus. In that time, three of them should've come by.
When the first finally did, we were already too late for the party. And we got thrown out of it and had to transfer into the seconds one only a few stations later.
We effectively had not chance to know any of this in advance … otherwise a ten minute walk and another bus would've easily saved us from being late. 

this happened between the two sets of bruise photos …

@DemonNova thought it would be fun to have Kitten in chastity for a decent portion of the day, just to tie her to the bed and apply some teasing and gentle torture   

There was a lot of noises and struggling. Relief when one kind of pain was being hidden by a new one.
There was pleading for stimulation. Even when it was obvious that it would bring no relief.

To be honest, at the end, Kitten would've gladly taken more pain, struggling, torture, and teasing … being mostly helpless, unable to stop what is happening and coming, feeling the sensations rushing through the body … it can feel so good  

only a few days later, Kitten got to spend the night bound to the bed  

There weren't the most restrictive restraints we felt so far, but still far from lax. Sleeping like this takes some getting used to … and while being far from the most relaxing night Kitten even had, it wasn't bad.
Also thanks to @DemonNova being there and making sure nothing goes too wrong  

Being unable to turn, to get up, to get relief, while loosing track of time in darkness … there isn't much one could do against it — not totally helpless, but close to it. And maybe the question is: is it even desired to change the situation?

Not having to choose can feel quite good. Freeing.  
Having that again some time could be nice  

@nekorvidae Yeah, that was a nice night, Kitten  

You're welcome Kitten, also thank you for trusting me to try this together and telling me every time something came up...  

And well, I hope we co do this again, in the not so distant future, maybe slightly modified  

@nekorvidae Hihi, you made very cute noises while laying there, Kitten  
And you were a good Kitten while doing so. I was and still am proud of you  

Hopefully the next time I can give you even more pain and teasing *grin*

@DemonNova mew  
Thank you  

That would be nice 

@nekorvidae You're welcome  

Yeah, it would, and I see good chances for that happening 

@nekorvidae Yeah the hotel was also for me one the worst...

But it was nice going to the party together with you cutie and having a good time there :3
