Still experimenting with the best way of doing it, it's an incredibly weird material because you can't put knots in it (it risks damaging the fibers and it stops light from getting past the knot) so you have to get really creative with how you weave it. Also it requires a pretty horkin' power bank (12v for the ones I have) and the light sources get scaldingly hot after a little bit (oh nooo, I have to be aware of my posture constantly to keep them from burning me, oh noooooo). But oh my god the effect is so cool.

If you do try it out, please please keep me updated on how it goes, collaboration in kink is the best way to learn with a new material like this!

The bdsm discussion communities really need some more life, unfortunately I'm absolutely terrible at thinking of things to post

What's the setup?

Yeah, it's unfortunately all-too-common. Kink tends to be (understandably) pretty insular/private so fostering a community on a public forum, especially when the content is intrinsically wankfodder like bdsm so often is, can be real difficult.

(Sorry, sick brain: the power supply setup?)

Yeah, one of the best things my mentors taught me in the community was how to ignore and troll the people looking for wankfodder in discussions (I say while discussing in a wankfodder space).

And I've never done anything with fiber optics so the whole deal

OOH! I thoght I had an original idea. I've bought a super thin plastic fibre-optic cable for my sketchy ebay 8w blue laser and thought about Inkorporating it into a tie. Just always deemed it too sketchy since I don't have a coupler. Forgot about it over the past 2 years. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll now look into how to make it safer and better thanks to you🫶

Oh awesome, please let me know how it turns out! My one big piece of advice is to be careful not to bend it too much - the PMMA (and the sheathing) will deform and it'll block/bleed light at the bends.
