Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Collar and Cuffs ~ Page 12
In the entire series of Gay Buttlers I think the middle panel is one of my favourite butts. I went on an epic quest to get a reference for it but my smutty google fuu failed me and I just had to make it up. Lookit his little love handles! <3
Sorry, I’m very cheerful for what is a rather sad page. Oh Jefferson, let the self hate flow.
Hi, can I suggest a small correction to the grammar of the first panel? I know it can be annoying to get corrections out of nowhere.
Oh, that’s bugging you too? I hope Tab will fix it.
Sometimes speech isn’t the same as the written word, though. I’ve heard plenty of people say it just that way. (Of course it would drive me nuts, but I’m a pedant that way.)
That’s what it sounds like, but that’s because they’re using a triple contraction: wouldn’t’ve. The “have” sound affects the softer “o” sound for the blend in the triple. What people don’t realize is that the triple contraction exists (yay dialects) which is why they keep thinking it’s an “of” there.
Yes, this is all pedantic, but that particular phrasing is just wrong and actually very modern.
Agreed. It should say “wouldn’t have” rather than “wouldn’t of.” A common mistake but it does bug me as well heh
Fixed! In the future please just outright say what it is- if Devon hadn’t explicitly written it out for me I wouldn’t’ve known what you were talking about XD
Oh Jefferson. There’s more than one way to service a partner. :( I want to give him so many hugs.
These things are so difficult to explain to people who believe this stuff happens organically and perfectly. Ah, the world through the eyes of the idealists. While I love it when a scene works perfectly, there are all those other ones that don’t quite work. I’m more of a switch, and my partner is a definite sub, so it’s been a long road getting to where we are now, happy, healthy and right. It takes communication, and that is so important. Whenever anyone asks me about my relationship, and how we’ve managed to make it work, I’m always like, “COMMUNICATION!”
I think the thing about your work that I love the most is the fact that you don’t shy from that importance. You show us how things work, how things can be not standard, but also match each person, and the process such a good thing took to get there. For each person to feel right, to get what they want out of a relationship, they have to talk. They have to admit to things that make them uncomfortable or scared, and then they have to figure out what works. A relationship is so much more than sex, but sex is an important part of it and needs to be discussed. I’m so lucky that my partner and I were determined not to keep things from each other. I can’t say it worked all the time, because that’s not how life goes, but when we did finally come clean on things, we always talked through stuff, and found a way to make things good for both of us.
These pages are hitting me really hard, because they are reminding me of some of those incredibly difficult conversations that we fell into, due to each of us feeling like we were not doing the best for the other. Pushing through something constantly leads to resentment and displeasure, and sometimes you go back over the past and wonder, “Okay, wait, if she didn’t like *, then did I force her?”. Thank you for putting out stories that reflect this difficult time, and show how a partnership can move forward. Good relationships are hard work, but gods, they’re so worth it. Thank you, thank you.
I agree, it’s so important! As an autistic, I utilize a lot of media for scripts, as it were, but most allistic people don’t realize just how much they all rely on scripts from media as well. Having these interactions modeled for an audience gives them something to relate back to, a way that it can happen. Scenes like these in media are GENUINELY helpful!
I’m so glad you’re finding these pages useful! I felt weird moving into writing (basically) smut, but there are so many important topics that can only be covered in work that’s about sex that I’m very glad I did.
Jefferson is reminding me a bit of my toy. She wants to be used regardless of her desire for what’s going on (basically if it’s not /no/ it’s yes.) I sometimes have a hard time coming to terms with it, but i talk with her and she makes me feel like a good Mxtress. Taking pleasure in your dom/top’s pleasure even when the action is not itself pleasing is so hard to wrap your head around~ but it’s definitely a rewarding one.
