Flowers - Pt 1

 “Hey Gid?” Kremy asked.

“Yea?”

“What’re your favorite flowers?” 

“Oh—uhhh. I liked the red 'n black ones. Had ‘em at our weddin’.”

Kremy started. Hearing Gideon call that insanity of a night 'our wedding' and not 'the pixie wedding,' made him feel a lot of things.

Because, yes, it was where they got married. Ironically, at least. But it was also where they married three other people. It wasn’t quite the happiest memory Kremy had; he had been in tears for a good part of it. Still, it sounded nice in that Yona drawl. Our weddin’.

Gideon looked over at him when he didn’t respond. “In my suit. All tucked in. What’s that called again?”

“Boutineer,”

“Yeah, yeah. What was that flower? Somethin’ to do with fire, I recall?”

“I think it was a fireblossom. Some call ‘em fire lilies.”

“Yeah! Yeah. Mighty nice.” 

Kremy nodded, a self satisfied grin at the edge of his lips. He had thought so. “Hm.” he hummed lightly. He looked over at Gideon, meeting his eyes. There was a pause.

“Well, don’t you rush to ask me what mine is! Mine’s—”

“WAIT!” Gideon got up and was halfway across the room. “Wait… don’ tell me.”

Now Kremy was pissed. “What d’you mean, don’t tell you? What in all nine hells, Gid? First you’re all ‘Kre-meh nevuh tayls me nuthin’.” he imitated Gideon’s drawl. “And now you don’t care to know what flowers I like!?”

“‘Course I wanna know! But I don’t wantcha t’ tell me.” Was Gideon blushing? Why? The man of no shame was embarrassed about flowers?

“I wanna…” Gideon's voice dropped down, and so did his eyes. “I wanna give you flowers till I end up givin’ you your favorite one. See if I can guess.”

Oh. That sounded nice. 

“And... what happens when you find out what they are?” Kremy was happy to hear his tone come out as cool, almost disinterested. Dammit if this man couldn’t get under his skin. It would be too damn easy to let himself unravel into a puddle.

“Then I’ll mostly give you those, when I can get ‘em. I can switch it up, though. If you’d like.” Gideons voice was a little rough. He was blushing properly. No finer sight, in Kremy’s eyes. 

“Well, okay then. You can do that... if it pleases you.” Kremy said, a little haughtily. He had to keep up the appearance of an upper hand between them, at least occasionally. 

“I wanna please you, darlin’. If y’know what I mean.”

Fortunately, Kremy does know.

He walked over to the much taller man and ran a thumb over his cheek, feeling the heat that had built. Gideon looked down at him with that goofy expression of his and leaned in for a kiss. 

Kremy wondered how long it would take Gideon to bring him fire lilies.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[spellscarred]

Bro, blocking someone and then using their tag like this is, all offence, weak as fuck. Like all you had to say was, na bro I don't promote pedo protags on this here blog, because I wholly agree with the premise of your argument given contexts (i.e., writing abusive relationships to show the evils, great; writing abusive relationships to show the romance, yikes).

This response is so, so comically shitty within the context of that tag, oh my god.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"Censorship of some topics in fiction and art is good and I would be happy if it were to be enacted in a way I approved of"

and

"some things should be banned from ever being written or read about in fiction"

are both authoritarian viewpoints to hold and express, even if you don't have the power to enact them.

If you hold these viewpoints you are holding authoritarian viewpoints.

DUDE IT’S PEDO FICS EVERYBODY THINKS THEY’RE NASTY

[blackheartbiohazards]

Let me explain this to you in simple terms.

Something being nasty is not a good reason to ban fiction about it.

If we accept that "something being nasty is a good reason to bad fiction about it" then we give a foot in the door for all the people who truly, genuinely believe that queer people are nasty to ban all queer literature.

This is not about defending bad people this is about defending the freedom of good people from tyranny, you moron.

[kawaii-pigeon]

I think if you take it to its logical extreme. Say, banning people from writing stories of sexual abuse. That could then be said "well ANY talk about sexual abuse is bad."

And from that, you could ban books that talk about it irl. Or books like how to recover after being abuse. If its not something to be discussed AT ALL.

[plague-of-insomnia]

The fact that I’ve seen this post in some form on my dash like 100x and each time there’s new idiots who do not get that you can’t have *some* censorship.

Either you’re for it or you aren’t.

The moment you agree that something should never, ever exist in fiction is the moment that anything can be banned.

Remember a while back how Tumblr banned a bunch of tags, including many popular innocuous ones that even people who are for censorship used and were upset about?

When censorship happens, stuff YOU like can and will be banned. That’s how it works.

Remember how a bunch of people had their accounts terminated here only last year for writing about their own sexual abuse?

When you ban “pedo” topics, say, any talk of child sexual abuse in any form, that means people can no longer write about their own experiences. It means people cannot educate others so they can learn how to protect themselves or get help from these situations.

Censorship is authoritarian. Full stop.

Even if “everyone” agrees something is “gross” and “shouldn’t exist,” that does not fucking matter.

Do you know who generally believes queer people are gross and shouldn’t exist??

The same people who are banning books left and right solely because they have queer characters or relationships.

The same people who attack and kill queer folk for simply exisiting.

This is not just some fandom matter or a case of being chronically online.

Protecting freedom of expression is essential, and if you do not get that, I don’t know what to say to you.

[scientia-rex]

And the people who keep bringing up child sex abuse as a reason for censorship are doing it very specifically because everyone feels like then they HAVE to agree with the person in favor of censorship.

It’s not that there isn’t widespread societal agreement on this. It’s that they want you backed into a rhetorical corner where you feel compelled to agree with them.

[ruffboi-mags]

Also, like, we KNOW how this shit shakes out in fandom because it's happened before.

In 2007, Livejournal capitulated to the "pedophilia and sex crimes!" cries of (hate group) Warriors 4 Innocence, and you know what communities got shut down? Slashfic communities. Sexual assault survivor support communities. Authors who'd written non-smut m/m fic even got caught up in it. It was DEVASTATING to fandom spaces. I think pretty much everyone knew at least one person whose account was literally DELETED, or were a member of a community that was wiped off the map because they were considerate enough to include topics like "sexual assault" or "BDSM" in the profiles under the badly-named category of "interests" to indicate that posts on said blogs or communities may include discussion of things like that. Even if it was for a SUPPORT group. And it was because a group of religious bigots came to LJ and said essentially "EVERYONE thinks it's gross and that it's promoting CSA, we should ban it."

Like, strikethrough and boldthrough were a large part of what propelled AO3 out of a more unfocused conversation on one person's blog about hosting a site INTENDED for fandom content, into being an actual archive and nonprofit. And it's a large part of why you won't find AO3 banning topics that you find "gross".

Censorship is authoritarian and it will ALWAYS have more collateral damage than you can imagine.

[nyxelestia]

Going to add that fiction which had sexual abuse and communities which played around with it as a writing topic are the very things that protected me from irl sexual abuse when I was a teenager. I was in a dicey situation, and realized that while my situation did not match up to any of the superficial or textbook cases mentioned in passing (if at all) through school, it matched up a LOT to what I'd learned about irl sexual abuse through works of fiction and the rhetoric of my communities. I got out of that situation and dodged what was, in retrospect, one hell of a nasty bullet. If it hadn't been for that "nasty" fiction and those "nasty" communities, I would very likely have been abused, and subject to further violence spiraling out from that abuse.

[benjis-house-boat]

you can’t have *some* censorship.

[the-real-seebs]

Yup! It really is, in fact, pretty much that simple:

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

There’s something so uniquely terrifying about memory issues. I feel like my self is slipping away from me.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Here’s the thing I feel like a lot of folks don’t get: I’m not trying to forget what you said. Honestly, I really tried not to. I can’t control what I do and don’t remember—forgetting things just happens. It’s annoying for you, I know, but for me it’s distressing as hell and when you make a big deal out of it rather than just reminding me you make me feel ashamed. I’ll remember that, at least.

It costs you nothing to be kind to people with memory problems. Please. It’s scary enough without people treating memory lapses as a personal failing.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Hey, reblog this version instead, please!

[starship-bunny]

also its scary cause if theres a disagreement on what happened it can be really hard to get people to believe your version of events to the extent that you even start to question yourself its fucking terrifying
