(These are all from my camera roll btw)
Hello! The nameâs Monroe and this is my main blog.
First off, I run the side blog @the-good-cucco, itâs all for shits and giggles, everyone who is familiar with Legend of Zelda in general knows that all Cuccos are evil and will gladly kill you. But the whole evil lu thing is in of itself ridiculous so might as well embrace it!
Iâm in many, many fandoms but Iâll list my main ones here.

Final Fantasy (mainly 9)

Quick notes:
I am Catholic and very firm in my beliefs. I will gladly take questions about my religion but please, no hate.
I do not support the LGBTQ+ movement or anything similar to that; however, I also believe that hate is evil and that we should be nice to all people. We can disagree about life yet still love each other because love is as Aristotle said: reciprocated, unconditional goodwill between people.
If you have any questions about my works or anything else feel free to ask!
Thanks for visiting my blog and safe internet travels!
Iâve talked about this before, but some of the hot takes on this website sound identical to the intrusive thoughts I have at 4 in the fucking morning, so do with that information what you will
the âobsessiveâ part of âobsessive compulsive disorderâ refers to the OCD brainâs tendency to get into obsessive thought spirals. these are triggered by intrusive thoughts. one of the most common âthemesâ in OCD is morality (a fear of being a bad person)
when a website is full of accusations that youâre a bad person, itâs really hard for that to not become an obsessive thought spiral. if I am constantly made to feel like Iâm evil if I donât reblog a post, thatâs not a long way off from my brain telling me that Iâm evil if I donât complete a compulsion
TLDR; OCD is really good at making someone feel like theyâre secretly evil, and being accused of being a bad person makes that worse

I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like sheâd never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door.
So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I âm like âAre you gonna eat all that?â And yaâll she getâs BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell
I didnât want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Donât ask mom for spaghettis or sheâll call the damn police on you.Â
So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words âWhen I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettisâ My adult logic slams into place and is like âHang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.âÂ
So obviously thatâs not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened.Â
So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. Heâd been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.
Now I just want yaâll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.
Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying
âAre you gonna eat all that?âÂ
No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Donât let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you donât want to do.
I find it very interesting to note the times in which this post has a sudden resurgence. It often follows very stressful, upsetting events, where a lot of âREBLOG THIS OR YOU SUCKâ posts start appearing on this site.Â
So Iâll say it again: it is okay if you come to tumblr to escape upsetting news. It is okay if youâre just here for fun and fandom. It is okay if you do not want to use your tumblr as a place to read about or spread the current events that are circulating. It is okay if you need a place to decompress and just relax. There are other ways to be involved in/support causes and you are allowed to set boundaries on social media platforms without it being indicative of your belief systems.Â
Your beliefs, values, ethics, and moral stances are not determined by whether or not you reblog something.Â
