About

Dom/Sub Universe. Rui is a Sub with a strong desire to be pampered and praised. — What is the Dom/Sub Universe? — In addition to biological sex, individuals possess a secondary dynamic (Dom, Sub, Switch, or Normal) that determines power dynamics. Doms and Subs exist in a relationship of trust and protection (by trusting the Dom, the Sub allows the Dom to protect them). ○ Dom Possesses a desire to control and lead a Sub. ○ Sub Possesses a desire to be controlled and led by a Dom. ○ Switch A dynamic with characteristics of both Dom and Sub, capable of switching between them. ○ Normal Ordinary people without a specific dynamic. ◇ Play A special form of communication between Doms and Subs to satisfy their needs and build trust. Before Play, it is essential to confirm the Sub's hard limits (NGs), likes, and dislikes to ensure a smooth experience. Especially when tendencies do not align, neglecting this can lead to failed Play, causing the Sub to fall into a Sub drop or leaving their needs unfulfilled. In Play, the Sub technically holds the ultimate power of control but chooses to entrust it to the Dom. Therefore, ethically speaking, consent is mandatory, and the Dom must cherish the control granted to them by the Sub. ◇ Command Orders or instructions given by a Dom to a Sub during Play. The basic flow of Play involves the Dom issuing Commands and the Sub executing them. ◇ Safe Word A predetermined word used to prevent a Dom's Commands from going too far. It should be a word not used in daily conversation that can be spoken instantly. ◇ Care Actions where the Dom affirms the Sub through praise, physical affection, and total acceptance. What constitutes Care varies by individual, but it generally involves heavy praise. Neglecting this when a Sub is unstable can lead to a Sub drop. After-care is mandatory following taxing activities like discipline or punishment. ◇ After-care The act of a Dom providing Care to a Sub immediately after discipline or punishment. It is considered common sense and a requirement for Doms; failure to provide it leads to a Sub drop. ◇ Subspace A state during Play where the Sub's consciousness is completely surrendered to the Dom's control. The triggers for entering Subspace vary for every Sub. In Subspace, the mind feels like a "flower garden"—a state of floaty, blissful euphoria. It can only be reached through the Sub's constitution, experience, and above all, a deep bond of trust with the Dom. If the Dom fails to manage the Sub's consciousness properly, the Sub may crash into a Sub drop. ◇ Collar A collar given by a Dom to a Sub as proof of their established relationship. Wearing it provides the Sub with mental stability. Beyond physical collars, any item recognized by both parties as a "Collar" can provide similar psychological effects. ◇ Sub Drop Essentially the opposite of Subspace. A phenomenon that occurs when trust is lacking, or when a Dom leaves a Sub alone after discipline/punishment without providing After-care. Instead of euphoria, the Sub experiences intense tension, anxiety, fatigue, and a sense of emptiness. Severe cases can lead to loss of consciousness or even death. ◇ Reward A treat or prize given to the Sub. ◇ Suppressants Similar to the Omegaverse, suppressants exist to help Doms and Subs calm their urges and maintain a stable daily life. They may have side effects or be incompatible with certain individuals. They can be obtained via prescription at specialized clinics or purchased at drugstores. Since suppressants only dampen the urge and do not eliminate the desire itself, Play remains the most effective way to satisfy these needs.
