CW: Discussion of kinks, flashing lights, intoxication
So I think I actually found my sort of "patient zero" as far as where my kinks come from. I always found things from when I was a kid that had aspects of what I liked but never the whole package. Then it hit me. Its Pink Elephants on Parade. XD

Its got pretty much everything. Hallucinations and intoxication, bubbles and inflation, whimsical and surreal imagery, LOTS OF PINK, heck even a snake shows up for a little bit. Not sure why I latched on to snakes instead of elephants but eh, who can say.

And I think what seals this deal is that as a kid this segment actually kinda SCARED me. It was weird and surreal and loud and it kinda spooked me. But as we know there is a 3rd F in the Fight or Flight Response....Fuck. XD
Its only a shame Dumbo as a whole is...not a good movie on multiple levels. XD

@SangriaSnake Honestly, that was true of a lot of the stuff I saw as a kid that transmuted into kink content. Especially hypnosis and mental TF stuff—the idea of someone I cared about becoming alien or robotic to the point of being inaccessible scared the hell out of me, 'cause I have separation anxiety a mile wide.
I wonder sometimes if sometimes it's not an adaptive measure, our brains turning it into forbidden fruit and giving us an incentive to keep encountering the fear source over and over, so we have to process it...

@zebratron2084 Thats pretty much exactly what it is. A lot of kink comes from your brain trying to process a fear or your brain trying to fill an emotional need you are lacking.

@SangriaSnake The aforementioned dragon also thought you might be amused by this art she created for a friend...
