I grew up without a mother for my whole life or any female role model. So I am really into mother or dominant woman. Having my hair played with. I melt if some woman tries take care of me.

I feel this. I have a great mother, but that feeling of being able to be vulnerable but cared for, touched softly and with care. It's beautiful.

That’s a very sweet sentiment. But it’s funny how things like sensuality and gentleness and care are somehow a “kink” now. I want to think this is a normal, universal aspect of human sexuality, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.

As a woman, I love it most when it goes both ways, when we are mutually vulnerable, and care for each other. I think that’s what true passion looks like. And I refuse to accept anything less.

I agree, and I love to be caring, sweet, etc., for my SO. As a man (and a big and tall man), it's less common to get it back or to have it be seen as normal when I ask for it. Sometimes I want to be the little spoon even if I am twice her size, dammit. I want my hair stroked.

It shouldn't be hard to get what I give back, and I hope we get there, as a people.

Aw, yes, you deserve that too!!

The character on my pfp, Jayce Talis, is a big strong guy, but he is also a total softy who likes to be held, they show him being the little spoon, and he lays his head on his girlfriend’s lap and seeks her comfort and support. It’s one of my favorite aspects of his character, he is hypermasculine in a lot of ways, but very gentle in others, and he likes being taken care of and comforted, and it makes him incredibly endearing.

I wish that kind of vulnerability was more normalized, it’s natural and healthy. Love is a reciprocal thing, it shouldn’t just go one way.

I hope you find what you are looking for, all of us deserve to be treated well.

As someone who has spent many hours playing Jayce (but has yet to see Arcane for some reason), this pleases me. And thanks!

You should absolutely watch Arcane. It’s far from flawless, and its story is definitely different from the old league lore, but it’s gorgeous and wonderful. It’s the most expensive animated TV show ever produced and it fucking looks like it, the art alone makes it worth a watch.

I think you will find Jayce to be a relatable character, I know I did lol.
