Before You Follow

Do not follow me or interact if

You have any romantic or sexual feelings towards Levi Ackerman (AoT) or Dabi (BNHA). My relationship with them is very real to me; they are my husbands, my soulmates, and Levi is my twinflame. I truly love them with all my heart and soul. Failure to respect my boundaries will result in being blocked. Thank you for helping maintain my mental health.

Are under the age of 18 or have no age listed on your page. No exceptions.

You're anti-LGBT+, racist, terf, pedophile, map, etc

You believe mental illness is just a cry for attention, are anti-recovery, or anti self diagnosis.

You're anti-selfshipping, anti-OCs or OC x canon

You believe men are inherently abusive, are trash/monsters, or believe women cannot genuinely enjoy BDSM, that it’s simply men’s way of abusing women.

I am an abuse survivor. I not only self ship for fun and for my own spiritual beliefs, but to cope with my trauma and mental illness. I have problematic faves. Some of these ships feature unhealthy interactions, this does not mean I condone these things. If this bothers you, do not interact.

ANTIS DO NOT INTERACT. This blog is anti-censorship and anti-abuse/harassment. This is not up for debate. If you send hate, it will simply be deleted. I do not condone the harassment of living breathing people on behalf of fictional characters.

For everyone who does choose to follow me:

Make sure to check my f/o list to see which f/os I'm comfortable sharing.

This blog does not stray into the nsfw often as I have a nsfw twitter for that. However it can happen occasionally and I do tag. Please note that I do ask that you be over 18 if you choose to follow my nsfw twitter (dm for the @).

I try my best to tag anything that might be triggering, but if I miss something please let me know. However, I swear like a sailor so expect adult language, I will not tag it.

This blog is discourse free. I ask that mutuals please tag discourse. But the main thing is that I ask my followers to please not involve me. This blog is just for me to have fun and get away from stress. There is no excuse to send hate or attack people. If a ship makes you uncomfortable, blacklist or block. Attacking others is unacceptable.

I am AuDHD, so there will be special interest and hyperfixation reblog sprees sometimes.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

In case anyone needs more clarification:

What RFK is saying: "Autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to erase autism" -> This is eugenics

Harmful response: "Many autistic people do work!" -> Validates the belief that that someone being unable to work is shameful and makes them a lesser person, and implies that autistic people should not need support

Correct response: "Yes, many autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to make sure they are supported, you fascist asshole" -> Accepts the realities of disability and values the lives of disabled people, and names the actual problem here

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.

I have seen a couple posts floating around lately that make me want to gently remind people:

Tumblr has a block/ filter tags option!

I mention bc I have told a couple newer people before and they had no idea!

I very much understand being frustrated that you see things you do not like in your fandom tags. I understand lots of people do not like x reader stuff or fics or all that. Most people will tag there stuff "x reader" or "wh40k fic" (and if you don't, please do!)

So if you don't like seeing fics or fluff or reader insert, that's totally allowed! Tumblr is made to handle that! Please block the tags you dont want, or even creators you dont like!

You can even filter someones username so they arent blocked but are filtered on your dash too. You can curate what you want to see on tumblr it's made to do that. If someone makes things you dont like and dont tag, you can politely ask them to do that and 99% of the time they will go oh sure of course, and you can then block that tag and be free of it.

Tumblr is a place were many parts of fandom intermingle, but its made to do that, just block and filter what you don't like and people you don't like. Trying to instead police how people enjoy media or choose to write things is not the answer. Getting mad at people for enjoying things wrong is only going to make you miserable.

Block, filter, and scroll by it. We are all here together to enjoy things how we like.

If you do this with my fics, or anyone's fics, please know I HATE you. I hate you more than every troll comment, every "your writing sucks kys" comment, every "update soon" comment. I hate you. Other authors hate you. If you want my fic, you either WAIT for it or you pay me for it. And if you won't do one of those things, you don't deserve my fic or anyone else's.

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.

honourablejester

Whereas lycanthropy poses the question “what if there was a wild destructive urge buried inside you to shed all cares and social bonds and pretensions of civilisation in one fell swoop, to tear your whole stultifying life apart around yourself in a glorious bout of transformation, and then you woke up and had to deal with the consequences of that, both to yourself and to everyone around you?” and yeah, as a person with no issues whatsoever, naturally cannot relate there either. Heh.

simandy

Once again asking people to not buy this shitty get to work reskin pack but I know you're all gonna ignore me because some other person will share a creator's code or something

simandy

You can get excited to finally have tattoo artists and pottery. But I don't think you should be excited to spend $40 on tattoos and pottery when the sims 2 and 3 are fresh in our minds with huge packs who could, alone, fulfill an entire gameplay for GENERATIONS with ONE pack and only for $25.

P**ate this ass game, I beg you. There's an installer. It's one click to download it and one click to install the whole game and it updates in like 4 hours after a new release. Not a link, of course.

I'll probably lose followers for this, but fuck it.

"Why are people so negative about this pack?", "If you don't want it just don't buy it.", "If you hate this game so much why do you still play it?"

I love this game. I have been playing sims 4 since 2017. I know for a fact a lot of you have played for FAR longer than I have and share these same feelings. I have spent over 1000 dollars on this game in terms of DLC. I cannot name you a single other fucking game with DLC that adds up to 4 digits like that, and that has somehow been normalized over the years because people keep indicating to EA that they want to keep spending like this. I stopped buying dlcs when they seemingly forgot Game Packs existed almost 3 years ago and just started going down the god forsaken Expansion/Kit route they're still going with to this day. Around that time I saw the quality of these packs go down, funnily enough. That being said, I look forward to these features! I love the tattoo shop, the candy shop, the at home businesses, we've been BEGGING for some of these features. Yes I'm excited!

But look me in the eyes and tell me this surface level amount of features is worth 60 canadian dollars. THAT is what I'm negative about. That is why I'm 'hating'. Some of you need to understand the difference between hating for the sake of hating something, and hating something based on the way EA has treated our love for this game in the last few years by delivering these dlcs for the price of a full game. Y'all say 'fuck EA' until a pack drops and you give them exactly what they want. I am convinced we haven't had a game pack in years now because they've noticed people just buy these game pack-sized expansions regardless.

If I genuinely hated this game so bad, I wouldn't be playing it at all and I'd have moved on by now. I am being 'hateful' because I love this game. I WANT to see it thrive, I want to see it have the charm it used to have, and for an accessible price for all. Critiquing something we enjoy is completely normal and I'm not sure where the opposite mindset stemmed from, how else are corporates and game devs supposed to learn about their audience's likes and dislikes??? Do you wanna hear critique from a guy who's not opened your game once, or from a guy who's now got 4000+ hours on it??? I was talking with my friend about this cause he joked about the fact that if you now want a cat café in the game, that's essentially 120 Canadian dollars, $180 if you consider Get Together's coffee mechanics. That, to me, as funny as it is, is also beyond ridiculous when put into that perspective, but its technically true. With that money I could go buy 5-6 indie games and have the trajectory of my life changed forever instead, which im debating now after writing all this LMAO.

Anyways, stop giving EA your money, you're feeding the machine.

simandy

You're right and you should say it. At this point this is simply ridiculous. Still giving your money to EA is simply ridiculous. The world is literally in shambles and they think this is a reasonable price for a pack. And if you say anything against them, you're the problem because you "complain too much". Ah vá capinar um lote

curlicuecal

Hey, let's talk about anons like this, because I know some people haven't been in a position to see the patterns these play out in on broader scale and may indeed not spot the trap.

And it is a trap.

An ask like this has several purposes.

First, it uses social justice language in passive aggressive and manipulative ways to try to coerce a behavior. In this case, the desired behavior is usually for the recipent to participate in community shunning and/or harrassment. The language above is intended to put the recipient on the defensive where, in the haste to disassociate themself from the Bad Thing, they quickly disassociate themself from the bad person, often with no particular fact checking or evidence.

The message is also intended to create a sense of being surveilled and judged by an unknown amount of people with unknown amount of social power and an unknown amount of relevance to your life.

Notice that these asks are usually framed as if they are coming from a follower or potential follower, someone who is addressing you personally and who cares about your opinion and who your blog has an effect on. However this is usually.... very much not the case. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch a gossip campaign from like this from the outside, you will very quickly notice that messages like this get sent in mass batches to dozens and dozens of strangers. (You can often turn these up with a tumblr search, if you look.)

The sender does not know you and probably does not follow you. They have a person they don't like (possibly for their stated reason and possibly not), and they are going through the reblogs of a post from that blog and mass messaging *everyone* with a form letter. They will not see your response and they will probably never even see your blog again.

Which brings us to the second goal of whisper campaigns like this:

Notice that I blacked out the names above? That's because when the recipient answers anonymous asks like this, they provide a platform for the opinion on their blog. An anonymous message like this that gets posted doesn't just spread gossip and apply pressure to the recipient, it is spread to the recipient's entire community.

The *goal* is to get access to your community. The *goal* is to use you as a soapbox.

Is the information accurate? Did anyone check? Does the anon have an ulterior social motive? BIG SHRUG

If you go into the comments on one of these whisper campaigns you will see that *most people never bother to check.*

They assume good faith from a follower, they're off balance defending themselves, and they jump straight to conciliation.

It's a really, really effective form of social manipulation, and really really commonly misused.

This is what bullying on social media can look like especially in left-leaning/social justice minded circles. This is how otherwise caring people get roped into participating in harassment campaigns.

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you
