A basic introduction for this account, mainly just tagging information and Rules. This is a LONG post, so everything after this is underneath a line, but I will split it up into smaller TLDR posts for each thing if necessary!!! First, I wanna specify what this account is, if that isn't already obvious
This account is confessions blog for Bill Cipher and Cipher-Adjacent people to send confessions in. These confessions can be about ANYTHING, even just talk of mundane stuff that they happen to want attached to their own name. This blog has no DNI and we will NOT specify anything about our opinions on things, because we want 1. To not be mauled by Dogs 2. To have a decently "safe" space here.
SO YEAH! Also, this account is run CURRENTLY by two fictives from the same System. For now, our respective "Mod tags" will be "#Mod Olly" and "#Mod Six". Only one of us is technically Qualified to run this account (That's a joke. The joke is I'm the "Bill". LAUGH PLEASE.)
Talk of NSFW stuff is below, so when you get to that section keep that in mind.
General Tagging
Custom Tagging
All posts will be tagged with "#BillCipherConfessions" unless otherwise specified. If you specify your "type" (I.E: fictive, kin, etc.) then it will be tagged with "#BillCipher[Type]" (EX: "#BillCipherFictive").
If requested, the usual tag can be changed from "#BillCipherConfessions" to whatever name you prefer (EX: "#BillPinesConfessions" "#[Name]CipherConfessions"). This does not equal a custom tag, but rather a tag for people with different names, either currently or just in-source. Do not request this to be equal to a Custom Tag.
A blacklist for tags will be added as the account gains traction and requests for Content Warning tags. As for now, only very obvious content warnings will be added.
Not Safe For Work/Tumblr Confessions
Custom tags are specific tags made so you can easily find your own posts. You may not use single, plain words as a Custom tag. You may not use already existing Blog Names as a custom tag.
Custom tags will only be added to a list once used upwards of Five separate times. If you have used your Custom tag five times or more, and it has not yet been added to the list, feel free to send an ask about that and it will be added.
Please, keep your custom tags as appropriate as possible. Sexual content and slurs will not be allowed as Custom Tags.
Political and Discourse Confessions
NSFW/NSFT confessions are permitted to this account, but there will be two separates actions taken towards these posts.
1. Asks that only hint at Sexual acts, but do not describe them, as well as ones with talk of Makeout sessions or things of similar sensual, but not necessarily sexual content will be tagged with a "#CW Sensual" tag.
2. Asks that describe sexual acts in any amount of detail will be posted as a text post and hidden under a line, as well as having a "#CW NSFT" tag added to the post.
There is little to nothing we will not post, but please do not send asks that are about currently real harm towards others. Things related to your source and memories are fine, but anything that has been done to currently real, living people will not be accepted and your confession will be deleted or sent as a text post with the offending part removed.
We will not add commentary to any ask sent relevant to those topics. We will not comment on our stances on ANY topics, not the ones listed above or any other ones. This blog is meant to, in some amount, be a "Safe" space for people. If you do not like something, ask for a blacklist tag to be added, and then block it.
We will, of course, accept asks of almost any kind aside from a very specific list that will hopefully be put into words soon. On that note, we will post any and all sides of Discourse, but there are certain discourses we will not post asks around. Note, that confessions with these topics will be allowed, but not confessions related to discourse around them:
Paraphilias
Radqueers
TransIDs (in relation to Radqueers)
Do not start discourse around these. You may send asks about these topics, but anything that can lead to arguments or debates will not be added. If you attempt to send an Ask response to an ask with one of these topics included, and you are attempting to debate, argue, or otherwise instigate the other person, your Ask will be removed.
I just watched Overly Sarcastic Productions video about robots and it brings up the robots-coded-as-autists problem (and aro/ace people. It helps that Red is ace) It's what actually make me search for it and finding this blog.
I'm sorry we weren't able to answer your ask until now!
I just watched that video (found here) and I definitely agree with everything Red was saying.
In summary, the host, Red, talked about tropes regarding robots and humanity. Typically, when creators write robots, they take human traits and remove specific traits: removing emotions, the ability to understand humor, empathy, and removing sexuality. The problem is that this is how the audience can see the robots as sub-human, since they "have no humanity". These robot characters, with the exception of Baymax from Big Hero 6, are the villains, and their lack of humanity causes them to "desire" to destroy it.
This can also relate to asexual and aromantic people, like anon said, because people consider them to be "lacking" sexuality as well, and compare them to robots.
I am both autistic and ace and have been compared to a robot many times in my childhood. Many autistic people are aro/ace as well.
It is definitely an issue, comparing autistic people to "soulless robots", and we definitely need better representation to see ourselves in, and for others to see us in.
My gf just came out to me as trans, and wants to go by he/him pronouns and a different name now. (this is not the problem, just background) I dont know how to deal with my own identity bc of this? I've worked really hard to be accepted by my Catholic family as a lesbian and I'm very outspoken about my identity so idk how to make people respect both of us. Do I have to change the way I refer to my sexuality now? I don't really want to but it feels weird to keep calling mysekf a lesbian.
i’m not a trans girl or guy so i’m not that qualified to provide a solid answer (i’m nb so i have a better understanding than cis ppl would but i still can’t speak for binary trans ppl) but i’ll do my best to try without overstepping my boundaries. first of all i recommend you guys talk it out together and maybe take a little break to sort out your feelings. it’s important to figure out if you still love him as a man or as the “woman” you thought you knew. if you do continue to date him and you are attracted to him as a man, you shouldn’t identify as a lesbian as lesbians are not attracted to men
your character doesn’t necessarily need to be a velvet worm, just go with the prompt wherever it takes you! soft deadline/cutoff will be next saturday night, i suppose? submit your design or tag us in it, and i’ll queue it up! have fun!!
Scissors, gently nudging stapler with their foot (blade?): Stapler, move out of the way so I don’t trip on you.
Stapler, their eyes enormous: You kick Stapler? You kick their body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Scissors! Jail for Scissors for one thousand years!
