give me one drop of grace

we spend so much time lighting the dark we don't realize that in doing so we dim the stars

genuinely pleased u came to my blog. welcome. it’s my pile of garbage (affectionate)

read my fanfic on AO3

please heed the tags to determine whether something I write is something you’re interested in reading! Not every fic I post is going to feature the same kinks, ships, and triggers, and they will be tagged according to what I feel people need to be warned about. I live by ‘Don’t Like, Don’t Read’ rules.

general content warning for blood, gore, horny violence, exploration of dark themes and flawed characters in the fandom content I create and reblog. “Dead Dove” abounds.

🔞Minors keep yourself and myself safe by being mindful of what you consume, I can’t stop you from reading but be advised it is intended for ADULTS🔞

queer, not a fan of gatekeeping - labels are useful for exploring identity but cannot encapsulate the entirety of a person

if you are a terf, nazi, or somewhere along those lines: please leave my blog, sit down with yourself, and have a good long think about why you believe what you believe and if it brings you happiness or just pain. it’s never too late to change.

Hey guys I made a pride flag for when your gender is nobody else's fucking business! Check it out!

[flagellant]

happy one year anniversary to this post getting marked as "potentially mature content" and then never leaving content review when i appealed. tumblr's own default loading graphic is considered by their own tos "potentially sexual" it seems.

@support you got any explanations for how this post got flagged? or why it never got reviewed? or what mature content might potentially be happening? believe me i am ALL ears

While talking with the Hobbits, Tom Bombadil puts on the One Ring. For a moment, all of the Nazgul burst into merry song. It is never discussed among them again.

I really couldn’t stop my self drawing this lol

not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.

not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.

the way teenagers are treated these days is wild. when i was a teenager we were all watching porn, jerking off, and going to horror movies with 3000 gallons of blood. Nowadays they make kids get a permission slip to watch anything darker than Barney the Dinosaur. Insane.

[transhuman-priestess]

Every year we infantilize teenagers more and more and act surprised when they grow up to be terrified, angry, emotionally stunted adults.

[genderkoolaid]

& then for some reason people fixate more on "ugh these teenagers just want to be treated like babies!!! teenagers are to blame for the rise in puritanism!!!!!" than how this is a very obvious example of ageism and the increased control over a socially vulnerable and exploited group

[absolxguardian]

I think a commonly overlooked part of this coddling is that it teaches kids and teenagers to be afraid of things they don't need to be afraid of, which is exactly how they end up as "puriteens". I remember as a child being terrified to change the channel on the tv because I had ended up with the impression that seeing even seconds of an R rated movie or tv show would give me nightmares. And then as a tween every time I saw swearing I felt sick to my stomach because I had been taught such a thing is bad and harmful. I think I would have suffered less if I hadn't been raised with everyone around me acting like mature media was so bad. By the time I was a teenager I had figured out this was bunk, but understandably a lot of people don't. By making this whole system worse and stronger you have teens who have been told that seeing explicit or dark media Will Harm Them, and so they act in ways that would be appropriate if it really was the info-hazard it's implied to be.

[headspace-hotel]

^^ never heard anybody specifically talk about this but yeah. parents acting like sexual or any "dark" content in a story or show was going to put bad things in my head that were going to be there permanently just gave me a deeply distressing sort of contamination anxiety
