Hi there! Here’s some basics:

This is an Antifa blog

No nazis, fascists, racists, white supremacists, TERFs, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, transphobes, homophobes, misogynists, and similar types will be tolerated around here. Don't bother: you'll get blocked. *If I reblog from someone with such beliefs, let me know, because I can guarantee it was a mistake on my part.

This blog supports sex workers because sex work is real work

This blog supports Ukraine. Slava Ukraini

This is a pro-vaxx blog

This is a pro-Palestine blog. Palestine will be free.

My ask box is open and anon is on, so feel free to message me.

Block the tags #tgcf, #mdzs, and #cql if you don’t want MXTX fandom stuff. See @down-and-out-in-guicheng if you only want MXTX fandom stuff.

Update (January 2025): I'm currently (help me) being consumed (help me) by Disco Elysium, so block #disco elysium if you don't want that (help me).

I’ve got a couple of sideblogs if you want those:

@moonshadows-moonstones for forest and woodland photos

@hapenny-rags for ~fashion~ (both contemporary and historical)

@cateyedcrow & @teacup-roses for the gothic and the elegant

@viitriiol is where I put Weird Shit

Welcome!

subtext this, subtext that. dommetext is the way forward. a hot character turns directly to the audience and explains in plain terms how they should interpret the things the text portrays.

so we’re back to doing Greek morality plays now

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat

men and women are not opposites. men and women are not enemies. men and women are two parts of a broad coalition which fights against a mutual enemy: inkjet printers

relentlessly funny to me when people treat a relationship between someone in their 30s and someone in their 40s as "age difference". bro i cannot tell you which of my friends are 34 and which are 44. i can probably tell you which ones aren't 30 yet, but it's probable some of them are 50 now and i didn't notice. if you're over 30 and don't have kids, it's kinda all one age until you can collect social security.
