I clicked on this blog almost by coincidence, I just wanted to say this is such a great entry

And I couldn't have expressed this point any better than you did:

"Brattiness is actually a sign of affection, and oddly of respect. It is their way of saying "I like you." Even if the word they use happens to be Dollophead."

Being a brat myself, I can only confirm that that's 100% true. Thank you for this wonderful post!

Thank you for this, you made the difference very clear.
I like to tease and challenge my owner as wel, and it's exactly because of that sense of playing with fire. The idea of maybe getting a punishment gives a thrill even if, as you say, the consequences might not be as nice. Sometimes I'm just so horny I'll use it to get his attention :-)

It's a playful way to discover exactly where the line is and I think if you're in a good relationship, the Dom will know the difference between playfulness and real disrespect. Just as the sub will know exactly when she/he went too far.

It likes your last sentence. That is the key.

And yep, you're toeing the line. (It is fun.) It's been called out on it by Sir, at times. But then again that's the risk. (And it's great because it knows he's also having fun.)

It's no fun if someone isn't having fun. Then you're right, that's just a little shit.

Yes, it is a sign of respect and "I like you". (Although it prefers it wants to gag you as saying that it likes you.)

The sign of respect in its eyes is that you're taking the risk/interacting with them knowing you could be called out on it at any moment, and you make a effort not to cross the line.

Taunts, teases, etc has that risk and figuring out the line is its weird way of showing respect.

Every relationship is different and this is just its POV.

I have to say, this made me laugh.

Good read, and thank you for showing the difference between the real brat, and the "brat". Might be handy for some people that don't know it!

I think you're right! She is like an iceberg... and you're like a boat! And we all know who wins in a fight between a boat and an iceberg.

Nice blog post.
I like seeing you around as a dom.
It's nice you share a post like this (doms do not post so often)

I guess there is now only one risk: it may melt

1: She is not slow!

2:

Sometimes I think of you as "Twat." too. More often than not, actually.

Maybe I'm kidding, you'll never know.

When I actually think of the fact that you so rudely forbade it first it irritates me and makes me want to slap you. But then after I get past that urge it does make sense and reinforces my submission to you and allows me to feel it more deeply.

But, I have a short attention span. So it doesn't last long and then I go back to thinking you as "twat."

This is what happens when you rush my thoughts.

This was good for me to read! I think I do this all too often. I never realize how long it has been until after we do "play". My mood improves and I feel closer to him.

A huge part of it *is* because we spend so much time together. It isn't feasible to keep up the same amount of play as time together. And we do do lots of other things together too, which contributes.

That being said, I don't think you should take full responsibility. It might be up to you to initiate, but I am also perfectly capable of informing you I would like to play or asking if we can. It's not just on you.

But, we learn as we go and will keep learning and discovering together. Oh and i love you.

You're evil. That was mean.

Happy now character limit? Why are you always annoying me....

She's adorable, isn't she?

Did you give her the wrong number when she lost count or did she guess?

Fuck you. Fuck you entirely, cunt.

P.S I love you.

This is perfect.

I love you too.

I agree!

This is such a super nice blog! :P But your little girl probably deserves a little better at least...

Well if you change someone as perfect as her, then you ruined something that is perfect.

Only a idiot would try to change her.

It counts as super nice, you mentioned how easy it is for her to notice every single little detail.

No.... Damn she's picky......

This resonated with me! Sometimes I get a call from my subby while she's busy. I used to feel like I was taken for granted, that she was too busy to talk or properly listen to what I said. But you're righ, AM! I should be taken for granted! She calls me because she feels happy when I'm there for her, talking even though she can't properly hear, just because my voice makes her happy. It's safe for her to know that I'm there when she wants me and needs me! So I completely get what you mean! Also about how I am expected to stay at home and always be available for calls!

You don't sit around waiting for her messages!? Hope she doesn't read this, or you'll be in trouble!

Ah <3 your relationship seems as one to admire! Its nice to be confident that the other person is there when/if you want them. (Especially if it is just to take advantage of that and make sure they are still thinking about you.)
