I hate when i see people add on, "But you're censoring their opinion once you block them since no one can see it" and it's like... huh? That's.. not censorship, their previous posts still exist on their own blog and anyone reblogging it. There's nothing erased, it still exists. I'm not sure if tumblr gets rid of comments if you block someone commenting but if tumblr does then perhaps the person should make their own post instead. You're entitled to share your opinion, you're not entitled to express that opinion in every single space/ post you come across and no one has to listen to you.
Also, you aren't taking away their ability to freely share their opinion when you block someone. you're just removing them from your own space. They can still talk and express their opinion on other people's posts or their own blog and make their own space, nothing is stopping them from sharing their own opinion and making their own posts. It's just stopping them from interacting with you specifically, like a boundary being placed.
. .T0mmy always loved Tvbb0, and it ate him up inside. He couldn't understand why Tvbb0 didn't like him, he couldn't understand when Tvbb0 shut the door in his face, flowers in hand. He couldn't understand why Tvbb0 always rejected his advances, what did he do wrong? He would never hurt Tvbb0, he cared about him so much, but it broke him that Tvbb0 didn't view him the same.
T0mmy couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach as Tvbb0 would flirt with C0y, give him his hoodies and ruffle his hair. His heart ached watching as C0y would kiss him on the cheek, how his hands snuck under Tvbb0's shirt. It just wasn't fair, what did C0y have that T0mmy didn't? Was he not attractive enough? T0mmy scoffed at the idea, that didn't make sense, he always took care of himself, many of the girls in his college had big crushes on him.
Was he too invasive? That was ridiculous, he just cared about Tvbb0. Was it because he wasn't C0y? At first, T0mmy denied it. There had to be something wrong that he did. ...but he didn't think he did anything wrong. Other people liked him, so Tvbb0 had to like him too. But if his heart was already occupied with C0y, he couldn't just convince Tvbb0 to be with him.

T0mmy found something he knew he shouldn't have. He wasn't even sure what it did. A small potion with a note attached. He found it in his gaming chair in his dorm, and curiosity got the best of him. The note was in a language he didn't understand, so he pulled out his phone to use google translate:
"In the hands you hold a vial of transformation most wonderous. It's essence, curated under the light of a blood moon and mixed with the tears of an angel, possesses the power to transform your very being into any shape or size you desire.
But beware, this magic herein is not without peril. Say the words and your body will take on a new form, however, you must repeat your name three times before the next dawn, otherwise you will be trapped in this new form for the rest of eternity.
Should you seek this transformation, know it's purpose well, for the potion gives not only the gift of change, but the weight of its consequences.
Drink deeply, and may the fates favor you."
It was as if destiny herself had brought this to him, but he wasn't sure if he liked her message. He couldn't do that to himself, even he had limits. …right?
He thought to himself. He could do it.. he could transform into C0y. Tvbb0 would finally love him. Not for who he was of course, but just the thought of Tvbb0's absolute love and devotion made him feel warm. It was what he wanted after all.
--
His tongue burned with the taste of lemon and copper. He could still smell the blood on his hands. His body ached and he was still heaving. But he managed to do it, even in his new body. C0y laid lifeless against the pavement, concrete stained with blood. It took some effort to pick him up, but that was just another weakness T0mmy would have to get used to. He stuffed the body in his suitcase, zipping it up before he shoved it into his car.
His heart was racing as he turned the engine on, pulling out of the parking lot and speeding off. His next destination was the woods, where he could properly dispose of the body.

T0mmy opened a new bag of marshmallows, watching the suitcase and his old clothes burn in the fire. It kept him warm, and he needed to eat something while he was here. The fire crackled as he held the marshmallows over the fire, he was deep in his thoughts.
As far as Tvbb0 would know, T0mmy would be the one missing, not C0y. Would he care? Would he even notice?
T0mmy frowned, peeling the cooked marshmallows layer by layer. Surely he would be upset, he had to. If Tvbb0 went missing he would be devastated. He wouldn't know what to do.
T0mmy was startled from his pocket buzzing. Quickly realizing it was C0y's phone, he picked up and answered.
"Hello?"
"C0y, where are you?"
Tvbb0 sounded worried, almost frantic even.
"I'm- I was just going for a walk? What happened?" His heart was pounding, even though Tvbb0 was probably worried about it being dark outside.
There was a relieved sigh on the other end, "Okay, please come home when you can, I was worried. That's not like you to be out this late on your own."
T0mmy couldn't help but smile, even though this was directed towards C0y. "I will, should be another 10 minutes."
"Alright, love you."
T0mmy paused, his gaze still set on the large fire, watching it slowly die as everything in it was reduced to ash. He felt like he couldn't speak.
I love you, oh how T0mmy yearned for Tvbb0 to say that to him. It made his heart sing even as his stomach turned.
"C0y?"
T0mmy snapped out of his thoughts. "Right, love you too."

T0mmy stared at his- well C0y's- phone in disbelief. He couldn't believe it, Tvbb0 actually loved him. It made T0mmy giddy, he was actually Tvbb0's boyfriend now. Even if he wasn't in his own body, he had everything he wanted.
--
He couldn't remember what happened last night, but he couldn't walk. His body ached a bit, but he was in an embrace.
Tvbb0 held him tightly, his face buried in the crook of T0mmy's neck. It was a closeness that T0mmy yearned for, and he could smell the peach shampoo in his hair. It was heavenly.
See that picture above? That’s a close up of my great grandmother’s immigration papers when she first came to the US back in the early 20th century. But my great grandma’s information isn’t the important part here. The important part is that line in the middle there about how they arrived in the country.
And how ‘stowaway’ is a legitimate, valid option to select.
So yeah. They absolutely just showed up, and that part of immigration history needs to be talked about a lot more.
REMINDER THAT TRAVEL VISAS AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY WERE INVENTED IN THE 1930S TO KEEP JEWISH REFUGEES OUT OF COUNTRIES THAT DID NOT WANT AN ‘INFLUX’ OF THEM, THEREBY FACILITATING THEIR GENOCIDE :)))))
read What is A Refugee for more history. Educate yourselves.
:) /gen /pos (I’d type something else but I’m tired both mentally and physically so uhhhh I’ll think of something later lmao) (also btw I find this bit of information about myself funny thou- I drew something last week for sillies and then started drawing again after getting obsessed with Arcane yesterday. Instantly got an art glow up)
Ooooh nicee, that's always good. I wish I could draw ;-;
I’m doing good, apparently I just made people uncomfortable with how sexual I was being (and I didn’t even realize how bad I was being until they pointed it just now) (they should have told me earlier but they didn’t so uh- I’m over here on 💐blr now because trust me. I’ve wanted to be over here for a year now but I couldn’t lmao) (I’m not a bad person by heart) (I just need a desperate need for boundaries to be placed and I definitely need information on if the person is ever uncomfortable with my actions) (so if I ever say something that does make you uncomfortable please let me know and I’ll stop) (/gen because I don’t wanna lose any more people because of my foolishness)
Ah I see, well I don't think you would break any boundaries, cause I don't really have any based off of sexualization, you should be fine. I'll lyk if you do make me uncomfortable
yippee! Also I made this blog because of something that had happened recently but now I can be silly lmao (no longer held by chains I can talk about certain things now) (however my posts are privated because of that something that happened so now I’m just gonna wait for this newer stuff that happened to die down THEN I’ll unprivate everything lmao)
Ah okay, I don't know if you're wanting to talk about what happened or not so I won't push, how are you doing?
