<p>Well, hey, hit bingo, and maybe I explode or something. Besides, <ahref="https://bbbingo.me">bbbingo</a> was for a game jam.</p>

<p>So tell me about your free space.</p>

<p>Actually, I think many of them come from a similar space: recasting bad or uncomfortable experiences from childhood into some positive light. A way to reclaim them and make them positive again.</p>
<p>Ditto humiliation. Being made to feel inadequate, often by people I was supposed to look up to, was such a negative force in my life — in Matthew’s life — that it left me with quite a bit of baggage. This is just a way to sort through it.</p>
<p>I suppose. It’s something of a metakink. Many of the others stem from that, or from a similar core interest.</p>
<p>Scent-play as a means of degradation: why would a snow leopard smell of canine? Fits in nicely with knotting. Why not toss in some species denial, too; no more kitty, you say ‘arf’ now.</p>
<p>Scruffing, in the context of furry, especially with felines, is a means of rendering one helpless. Coercion and weakened mental states fit as well. Those all sort of tag along with the non-consensual core kink</p>

<p>So, pain and blood? Breathplay?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes. Abuse. Damage. Bad ends.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Where do those come from?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Self hatred. Self harm. Destroy me before I destroy myself.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Really?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>No, of course not.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>But some part of you actively believes that? Some part of you actively craves someone destroying you? Beating you bloody? Choking you? Leaving you for dead with casual nonchalance?</p>
