Hard Limits¶
A hard limit is a line your Domina will never cross. It is the most load-bearing safety feature in BLINK. Treat the list as the one piece of configuration you re-check the most.
How they work¶
- The list lives on the Hard Limits screen.
- Every entry is one of the curated fetish keys (same list as interests).
- Every Domina prompt - planner, writer, summary, chat - receives your hard limits as a negative constraint: "never include in any task".
- The instruction is not a soft preference. The Domina will not propose, hint at, or write around an entry in this list.
Hard limit vs interest¶
Both lists draw from the same curated catalogue. The same fetish can appear in both - if it does, the hard limit wins.
| In interests | In hard limits | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Yes (any level) | No | She uses it according to the interest level |
| No | No | Ignored |
| Either | Yes | Never used, regardless of interest level |
If you want to fully retire a fetish, you can either drop its interest to 0 or add it to hard limits. Hard limits are stronger - they survive later edits to the interest list and they generate explicit refusal text if you ever ask her to do it anyway.
Adding and removing¶
- Adding a hard limit takes effect immediately. Active sessions continue with their existing plan, but the next session will respect the new limit.
- Removing a hard limit also takes effect immediately. The next session is free to use it (still gated by the interest level you set separately).
"Pretend it isn't on my list tonight"¶
This does not work. By design. The Domina is not allowed to be negotiated out of a hard limit by an in-chat message. If you genuinely want a hard limit gone, remove it from the list on the Hard Limits screen and start a new session.
What is on the list by default¶
Nothing. You set the list during onboarding. If you skipped quickly, revisit the screen now. A few minutes of curation here saves you a lot of mood-killing surprises later.
A common starting list¶
Many users keep at least a few items in hard limits even if they are not on their interest list, as a belt-and-braces safeguard. Common defaults to consider:
- Anything involving non-consenting third parties (always blocked by the app, but explicit on your list anyway).
- Categories your body cannot tolerate (e.g. electric stimulation if you have a heart condition).
- Categories your relationship situation excludes (e.g. public scenarios you cannot run safely right now).
Curate. Re-curate. The list is yours.
