so-much-to-play-with: Doing ropes when asked by others than my Little One has always proven complicated for me. I’ve learnt with her, built my skills adapted to hers, and never tied someone else for over two years. So when friends asked us if we could make a photoshoot, I was all in, until I realized I would tie someone else. It felt weird. Weird because I didn’t tie much lately. Weird because even my partner for the session wasn’t quite into it either. Weird because that’s not what I wanted.The session was clumsy, forced, and ended up disappointing for many reasons, even though the shooting was nice, leaving me wanting to tie my Little One, but she just left someone else’s ropes too, and it had been a demanding session… Would she restart, for me? Not for pictures or anything. Just to do ropes, together.She did.She did eagerly, to a point our minds wanted to go farther than our bodies. We started fast, complex ropes. Still gawdy from the lack of practice, but together. We know each other, know the weaknesses of the other. She saw some breaks in my timing. I saw some tiredness in her body. We talked, gave info to each other, shifted, adapted… And things started to unfold properly. Knowing how difficult it was for my Little One, I kept telling her how great she was, but our condition didn’t let me much time to stop and enjoy the moment with her. Until I noticed the photographer had come back to shoot us. “This looks crazy!” I heard whispered behind us.I knelt for a second next to my Little One’s ear to tell her: “See? I told you.” She was great. THAT is want in ropes. -- source link
