About: Mischief for Punishment   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

Alice is up to something that would get her punished if she'd get caught. However, she's not planning to get away with it. On the contrary, getting punished is at least part of the point. Maybe she consider the punishment to be a form of Unishment, or maybe getting caught is a part of some bigger scheme. The former is often related to Happiness in Slavery or Casual Kink, while the later is often related to I Surrender, Suckers or Xanatos Gambit. Note that the difference is in the motivation, not in the act itself. Examples of Mischief for Punishment include:

Note that the difference is in the motivation, not in the act itself. While this trope is usually played for Rule of Funny or Rule of Sexy, it can also be played for Rule of Creepy as a twisted masochistic version of Entitled to Have You: "I can do whatever I want to you against your will, because I'd enjoy if you get mad at me or beat me up." May result in either Threat Backfire or Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin'. Compare Briar Patching, Get Into Jail Free. Examples of Mischief for Punishment include:
