How to read this dictionary
Each entry gives the word’s class, a plain definition, a made-up example and, where it helps, a word people mix it up with. Next to it you’ll find related words and the chapters that use it.
The marker after each sentence shows how well it’s backed. When a public source records a word, the entry cites it. Everything else is a field note from Vivian. How this wiki proves things explains the levels.
Some corners of the scene talk about subs with contempt, and this wiki explains those words without taking them on. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
The words
0-9
2DFD
Word class: noun
Online findom with a 2D persona in place of a real person’s face and voice, and whoever runs her stays out of sight. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study. Most people read it as “2D findom”, but that’s a guess, because no glossary spells it out. UnverifiedPlausible, not proven yet. Doms often put the label in their display name or bio, and if it’s missing, the dom may be playing a role without asking for money. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about 2DFD
In a sentence
Her page is 2DFD all the way: every post shows the character, never the person.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
findom. Findom is the whole practice; 2DFD is findom with a 2D persona up front.
In gacha games, a rule where a pull gives you either the featured item or a different one, like a coin flip. In my experience, losing it often makes people pull again straight away, which is one reason to set your limit in advance. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about 50/50
In a sentence
He lost the 50/50 and pulled again right away.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
pity. A 50/50 is luck; pity is a counter that guarantees a reward after enough pulls.
Care after a scene to check that the other person is okay and calm. It’s a short, kind check-in, and a session that ends on a send with nothing after it has skipped it. Tools and apps rarely have anything like it, so the person running the game has to provide it. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about aftercare
In a sentence
She ended the evening with a few kind words and asked how he was doing.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
love bombing. Aftercare is a short, calm check-in after a scene; love bombing is a flood of affection.

More about alt
In a sentence
He opened an alt just to show his sends.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
backup account. An alt is used alongside the main account; a backup account sits unused until the main one is lost.
A session where the dom treats the sub like a cash machine: she gives the order and he pays. It’s scripted play and both sides know it, but the money is real, so his limit applies like in any other session. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about ATM play
In a sentence
The ATM play session was a few minutes of commands and sends, and it stopped at his limit.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
paypig. ATM play is a session format; paypig is a scripted nickname.
A tool, usually a browser extension, that sends or buys wishlist items for a sub automatically, on a loop, once he starts it. These tools break every time the platform changes its checkout. A safe one comes switched off, does one named thing on one named site and counts only confirmed payments. It shows a running total, enforces a limit set in advance, has a stop that works in every state and can be removed in one click. Hidden totals, locks that take away the stop and overnight modes are pressure designs to spot and refuse, and a safe design often earns less. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about autodrain
In a sentence
Before installing the autodrain, he checked that it showed a running total and that its stop worked at any time.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
autodrone. An autodrain moves money; an autodrone only automates social actions like likes and reposts.
A browser extension that likes or reposts a dom’s posts from the sub’s own account while he’s busy with something else. The dom gets engagement and the sub gets a hands-off way to serve. No money moves, but the tool acts as him in his own account, and a platform may see that as automation and suspend the account. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about autodrone
In a sentence
The autodrone liked every new post while he worked.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
autodrain. An autodrone spends no money; an autodrain does.
A second account kept idle in case the main one gets closed. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study. A platform may treat an account made to replace a closed one as ban evasion, and a closed account stays tied to a real identity, so a backup account won’t get you back in. UnverifiedPlausible, not proven yet.
More about backup account
In a sentence
She keeps a backup account idle, and she knows it won’t undo a closure.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
alt. A backup account stays idle until needed; an alt is in daily use.

The word also means the image at the top of a social profile. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about banner
In a sentence
The bunny banner ends on Sunday.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
billboard. A banner here is a pull pool or a profile image; a billboard is a sub who advertises a dom.

Example, invented

The role isn’t worth much to the junior unless there’s a clear reason like training or experience, and it needs agreed terms like any unpaid work. The word also names a kink where a domme is made to lose to a stronger dom. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about betadomme
In a sentence

faildomme. A betadomme answers to a senior dom; a faildomme is a persona built on failing or losing.
A sub who shows a dom’s branding on his own public profile, like her picture or name, as free advertising. The profile is public, so it also tells everyone he knows that he’s a sub, which is why it should be his own choice and easy to undo. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about billboard
In a sentence
After the rebrand he stayed on as her billboard for a week and then changed it back.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
banner. A billboard is a person acting as an advert; a banner is a pull pool or a profile image.

Example, invented
Do not confuse with
pushed. A boost comes from another account; a pushed post is promoted by the platform’s algorithm.

Example, invented
Do not confuse with
switch. A brat is a playful attitude of a sub; a switch is someone who takes either side.
A sub with little money. The word can sound like contempt, and this wiki uses it only to explain it. Playing on a small budget is fine, but a lower price never replaces the limit. If money is short, the money part stops for that evening, and a cheaper option isn’t a way to keep spending. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about brokie
In a sentence
He kept to his small limit, and on the evening he said money was short, the session went on with no send.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
whale. A brokie sends little; a whale sends very large amounts.
A switch in a test build that skips the payment step or the draining effect so a maker can try a tool safely. It belongs in test builds only and has to be removed before release, so don’t trust a tool that ships with one. Vivian’s field notesFirst-hand experience, not a study.
More about bypass
In a sentence
The test build has a bypass, so no real money moves.
Example, invented
Do not confuse with
token. A bypass skips a step in a build; a token is a stored credential.

ReportedStated by a serious secondary source read in full.Financial Domination Has a Scamming Problem (opens in a new tab) Accessed 3 November 2026.

Example, invented
Do not confuse with
