SINagogueBDSMEp25 - "Helping Professionals in the Scene and in the Lifestyle" with Dr. Rachel Anne KieranEp25- "Helping Professionals in the Scene and in the Lifestyle" with Dr. Rachel Anne KieranGuess what - helping professionals are kinky too. But we also hear horror stories of experiences with providers around kink. Let's talk about the appropriate (and inappropriate) roles of professionals in the kink world. Then let's talk about kinky therapists, polyamorous psychologists, dominant doctors, queer chiropractors, masochistic massage therapists, caregiver CNAs. How we live and work in spaces where we take on a helping role. How to manage relationships with differing roles and boundaries, all of which need time...2024-12-311h 23

The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 131 Analysis: Salient Scars (with Bundin)Will and Kym wait at the theater. Kym asks about the date, which Will almost forgot about, and hears Will praise Neyra. Surely this will lead to miscommunication in the future.
They scuffle, and as they walk down the hallway, Will spots a picture of Thalia in XX16, a year before the ATST. He doubles back to question the director, who informs him she disappeared suddenly.
We transition from serious Will to serious Rafael, who is snitching on Kieran. We discover the appalling fact that Kieran was a slave to Apostle X and killed him.

The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 128: Misestimated Messenger (with Joy, Lily and Veronica J)We begin where we left off, with Rafael cocking the gun at Kieran's head. Rafael, unbelievably, actually pulls the trigger, and we speculate as to why he is so trigger happy.
Thus ensues a spectacular fight, with both Kieran and Rafael in top form. Rafael seems rather emotionless (and emotionally damaged), until he slices open Kieran's shirt and spots that scar on his upper right arm.
What could that be?
Whatever it is, it causes Rafael to revert to non-lethal methods, busting open a water pipe and escaping.
Kieran then gives us h...2022-07-261h 08
The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 127: Cathedral Crisis (with Bundin and Fwoot)Redcliff and the probably unimportant Lady Montgomery sit with Will and Neyra. We wonder what Redcliff has up his sleeve. Bella, shocked at Neyra's presence, watches them from above.
Kym is excited to watch the play, and Lauren resolves to ask her what she wanted to say later. We think she won't get the chance.
The play begins and features some young men stealing items from an old cursed church. A ghost appears, and the handsome Albion notices that she is crying.
Redcliff takes the opportunity to invite Neyra and Will to his cock...2022-07-191h 48
The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 125 Analysis: Double Date (with Joy, Ocean and Veronica)Lauren and Kieran walk home from the circus. Lauren frets about their one lead, Redcliff, and contemplates on how Kieran has become a part of her life. We love how much she has developed emotionally over the story. She wonders why she felt so awful when she woke up, and sees the ghosts of her and Dylan's child selves running around.
Dylan's ghosts confronts her with a very important question: why doesn't she ask Kieran about him? We discuss how Lauren has kept the ATST and Dylan from Kieran and how this will likely be a massive p...2022-07-051h 29
The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 122: Harrowing Hypnosis (with Bundin and Veronica J)Lauren wanders around the circus, coming across its members releasing lanterns in the sky in a moving memorial to their lost ones from Graychapel. Hypnotized Lauren finds herself feeling sad and not knowing why.
Kieran, whose search is becoming more panicked, sees lights with the names of gods on them, and follows Hecate's advice.
Fireworks go off, and Lauren's unconscious recalls the factory and APD explosions. The world around her becomes a world of horror, with a mysterious injunction for her to look at someone (we theorize), and childlike Lauren, unable to understand or process her...2022-06-141h 19
The StoryTinkerPurple Hyacinth 120: Dreaded Dress Up (with Bundin)As Kieran and Lauren dress in circus costumes, they theorize as to the Messenger's identity. Lauren (and the fandom) sneaks a peak at Kieran's bruised back while wincing from her wounds.
Kieran shows us incredible insight into Will, himself, and Lauren. We stan.
We also stan how they look in circus costumes, especially after Kieran takes the opportunity to pull Lauren close and paint makeup on her face. Totally... necessary.
We hear a little more about the agreement between Kieran and Bella, and Lauren and Kieran head into the circus quarters to search for R...2022-05-3154 min

Dr. Kieran shares her insights on intersectionality, including recognizing her privilege when engaged with clients, and we talk about our internal intersections...2021-08-3032 min
