a sub drop (or a dom drop) is when a person experiences overwhelmingly negative emotions after or during a scene.. its a sudden drop in emotions. its common in bdsm because due to its nature since there are a lot of emotions in play during scenes! bdsm isnt just phyiscal, its highly emotional and puts you in a certain and very vulerable headspace which can be very fragile depending on how the person is feeling that day.. so maybe something goes wrong during a scene, usually accidentally, or maybe one person isnt really feeling well but they dont notice it until its a little too late, and it causes them great emotional distress suddendly. like an anxiety attck or uncontrollable crying or maybe just suddendly feeling really wrong in your body -> that would be a drop. and then its sub or dom drop depending on if you feel intensely negative emotions about the scene that you just did. usually its immense feeling of guilt or shame about what happened or about the role that you had (feeling guilty for the pain you inflicted on someone for example). its called a drop because most of the time its unpredictable, or only comes with very subtle signs that the involved people could accidently overlook. ..
i dont have any recs with fics like that. sub/dom drops are very intense and i dont like seeking them out, and ive read some untagged fics featuring it an it was very jarring and uncomfortable experience .... i also never exeienced a sub drop since i dont participate in bdsm irl! but i think i did come very close to the experince of having a sub drop because one day i was reading a lovely fic and i was feeling fragile because i was on my period (horrible for me), and the fic really lulled me into jisungs pov and made me feel cozy and nice and horny and submissive, and then minho said something that, for the lack of better word, caused me to drop. lmao. made me feel overwhelmed and wrong and took me out of the fic and made me feel really bad about myself. sfkjghsjhgf . he didnt say anything bad or problematic! but it just hapened to hit me exactly where it hurts most and made me feel very distressed ... sigh .... im not sure if ill ever be able to write a fic featuring a drop. maybe. its interesting to me from a writeers perspective but i think it would feel like writing an intense horror scene, which would be very exhausting.... but i do like the afteermaths of a drop. the repair of it all. the reassurance and repairing and love and kindness poured into your partner, minho comforting jisung or jisung comforting minho .. i just sadly dont have recs !! sorry !!
