I am unfortunately going to close my ask box. I can't keep up with the influx of asks coming in. I will however periodically go through my blog and reblog campaigns with tags and all. I also follow blogs that reblog campaigns so I can find new ones that way to hopefully help with signal boosting.
A reminder that darker fiction has a right to exist and explore themes that people are uncomfortable with. Yes, even if it's romanticized. Yes, even if you personally don't like it.
Authors have always written about things that they don't agree with morally, and I hope to god they always will, despite how shitty people treat them for doing that now.
With the release of the new Wuthering Heights movie, I'm going to add my dark fiction thoughts pertaining specifically to dark romance:
I don't like Wuthering Heights because it romanticized abuse. I think it is still a very important book and should not be banned. I don't like anything that Colleen Hoover writes about anything because it's not even dark romance, it's just awfully written domestic violence with (I've heard) racism added.
I'm not saying Wuthering Heights is well written either. That's my opinion on it.
However, I'm also not saying Colleen Hoover should be stopped from writing.
Both are options for dark romance. Both options can be out classed by better novels. Both options have a right to exist. We can criticize each for their shortcomings. What we cannot do is call for the censorship of dark romance books because they make a few people uncomfortable. If it makes you uncomfortable then don't read it, it's not meant for you. I despise bridgerton (not dark romance but I have a point I promise) because it's poorly written shut and I've found more magical romances on AO3 and Webtoon. I hate that Daphne practically rapes her husband all because she wants a baby and he has told her multiple times that he does not want a baby because of his trauma. (He didn't tell her it was bc of childhood trauma at first but she should've listened and they could've communicated) I hate that the author dismisses what Daphne did to her husband. I do not think bridgerton should be pulled from shelves, however if you ask my opinion I will give it. At the end of the day bridgerton is just not for me.
And that's fine. Many dark romance novels are not for me. That does not mean that dark romance should cease to exist. People seem to forget that they do not have to consume media they don't like.
Was watching the new assumptions video on Pressalike and it did remind me of the fact that the american pledge of allegiance was a post civil war implement. I'm not talking like immediately after the South was defeated in 1865, it was implemented in 1942. It's extremely recent in the grand scheme of US history. I guess we could say "post WW1" but American intervention in the first World War is not really taught in US schools because WW2 was when we were staying out of it before being directly attacked in 1941. It is because of the Japanese attack on December 7th, 1941 that we have the pledge of allegiance in the US. I'd argue that the pledge is possibly racist instead but that would require a lot more research to factually confirm it. (Cause America started to imprison Asian Americans and Asian passing Latinos in Internment Camps but not Italian Americans whose home country sided with the axis powers . Then the pledge of allegiance became a morning requirement in america.)
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, WW2 is my tism but with an emphasis on Europe and Asia and less on American domestic policy and actions taken at home during the war effort.

Hello, my friend. I'm sorry, but I have a strong shortness of breath. I have to take oxygen fumigation as soon as possible. Please help me. I have a crisis because of smoke and dust. Please help me as soon as possible. I feel suffocated. It costs $89.
As someone who survived the devastating war that destroyed everything, and was forced to start his life from scratch after we lost our home and everything else... We have no money and our health has become very bad due to the war and famine we have lived through. Please help me, heroes, so that I can stand again and be able to rent a simple house to protect my family from the freezing winter. I swear to you, the tent is freezing cold so much you can't sleep...
I created this campaign to help my family during the war, but I was shocked! There's no support. I'm appealing for help, and (a few are supporting me, may God reward them).
Sharing this post is a small way to help my family. Your small donation can save the lives of people who just dream of living a decent life!

Dear person who sees this post, please share it and donate if you can. I'm embarrassed to ask you like this, but we are freezing and need to buy blankets and some clothes to protect us from the bitter cold.We lost our home and all our belongings under its rubble, and we can't reach it because it's in a dangerous area. You are our only hope and refuge. Please don't stop helping us.
Unfortunately, my baby Qais will die— this is what awaits him if help does not arrive today, and I write now to stop that sentence from becoming our reality tonight, while he breathes.
I hold Qais close, counting breaths, bargaining with time. Donations are low; seconds matter. Please stop, share, and donate now—your kindness can rewrite tomorrow and keep my baby alive, today, please now.
Silence is killing Qais faster than wounds. Each ignored post steals minutes from his life. I beg you, pause here—donate, share, and choose mercy before this quiet becomes permanent forever for my baby.

This is Honda Civic. He's a furby of the Nightwalker Long Stabby Leg breed. He just sort of crawled out of the woods one day and entered my home. He seems nice. But be warned fellow furby keepers, Nightwalker Long Stabby Legs can be very aggressive...
They creep around at night, their long legs looking like branches or twigs, and stab their prey (Usually a Worm on a string, or regular furby) to death with their sharp feet...
Only experienced furby keepers should try fostering these creatures due to their unpredictable and eratic nature. This one seems pretty chill though 🥰
You do realize the explicit mention of "chanting" or "flags" is pretty obviously a way to criminalize expressions of palestinian identity right. There is no noteworthy "Palestine action flag" they clearly mean Palestine flags themselves
