Himedere-Chan Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Is there such a CG/L thing as guardian/protector and the protected? Where the Top is more like a guardian and the Bottom is the defenseless protected?If you don't get what I'm asking I'll set some examples:Bioshock, Big Daddies and little sistersLeague of Legends, Annie and TibbersBleach, Kenpachi and Yachiru (I don't watch the anime, but I've seen these two the times I did watch it.) Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru and Rin Those are the few I can think of. Does it count as CG/L? Does it have it's own titles like middle littles do? Or is the protector and the protected common in all CG/L relationships?I can't freaken English tonight, so I hope you understand what I'm asking, I'm generally curious.
Guest PastelRosePrincess Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I can't see any reason why that wouldn't be a thing, even if it was just your own personal view/title. I guess its like the old fashion way when people used to have wards and guardians? 1
Antoinette Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 It's quite dangerous to label things like Big Daddies and Little Sisters DD/lg themed, if that's what you're getting at - seeing as a Little Sister is an actual child (also, I wouldn't really call Little Sisters 'defenseless' because they're actually not vulnerable because they're immune to damage, other than of course being harvested). But if you're just using it as an example to get the point across as for a protector and protected then here's my two cents: Many people view CG/l differently. Many people like the feeling of their cg being in control, many feel safe and protected by their cg and many others have different meanings to their individual relationship. It's impossible to label every single thing because I assure you that there's a variation for each different relationship, even if it does fall under ''CG/l'' - I think that's quite beautiful though. I personally relate to the idea of Big Daddies and Little Sisters, in the sense that I feel (when in littlespace) like a Little Sister battling against the Splicers of Rapture with my Big Daddy, this however does not mean that I would ever be okay with the actual concept of Big Daddies and Little Sisters being CG/lg - get what I'm saying?
Himedere-Chan Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Posted February 23, 2017 @xAntoinette Fun fact CG/L relationships can be strictly platonic! So a Big Daddy and a Little Sister is technically a platonic CG/L relationship. I didn't mention sexual relations once in my post, therefore it was not part of the subject. x3It was an example clearly, I used that word so people wouldn't get confused and think I was stating all these characters are EXACTLY every word I said above, they are not, but they show signs of protector and protected.You clearly love the game too and misread what I was asking, that's okay, however next time you should read twice before assuming so heavily on a certain subject matter.You also seem to be searching for a debate or a deep discussion, sadly this is a question, questions should be answered, not dissected. ^w^In summary: Sex wasn't mentioned. Defenseless was a word I used to help others understand that the one being protected is not as strong as the protector, if I meant they had zero means to defend themselves I would have said "completely defenseless". Example means they are like what I mentioned, not 100%. "?" means one is looking for an answer, not a discussion.Since no one answered with a straight "it's called" I assume it is not a well known CG/L dynamic so I shall call it Guardian and ward/pupil/fosterling.
Guest PastelRosePrincess Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Since sex wasn't mentioned I took this to be in a platonic way and more trying to explain a point than really use it as a strict example. I actually rather like the idea of having the title Guardian and ward, it sounds very fantasy to me. I know some people, perhaps most dont like it when big Daddies and little sisters are used to explain a DDLG dynamic and I totally get why and agree. It doesn't mean everytime they are brought up its being used in that context though and in this sense I think its a pretty harmless way to explain a point. I just wanted to say I think both points are valid. 1
Guest countlieberkuhn Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 I think 'Dependant' (the noun, not the verb) is probably the word for the protectee in this case. It implies reliance as a personal need (be it food, shelter, emotional support etc) rather than as a legal requirement. So I reckon Guardian/Dependant would be a good name for it if it hasn't already been coined . Nice dynamic though. It's good to feel needed, so long as you are able to provide the support the other needs. Likewise, it's good for the other to feel safe and looked after. 1

Frog Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 I'll slip into Protector mode with certain friends. I had a friend who had experienced traumatic events in the past. I was one of the handful she'd ever told about it. So when we're at events, I would slip into protector mode. When someone new would approach her (and this made her nervous), I'd fall right into that mode. I'd watch him, size him up, listen to every word, and so on. She had these physical gestures to let me know when it was time for me to intervene or suddenly find a reason why we're "late for something." Keep in mind she knew I was doing this and told me very often she appreciated it. So don't think I'm sort of stalker or creep. Funny thing is, we even mentioned the idea of doing a Big Daddy and Little Sister cosplay.
