To live would be an awfully big adventure

YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED: I occasionally reblog long trains of a single fandom. Other than that, this is a mishmosh of fun fandoms and general positivity.

Cats and Consent

I kinda feel like cats are a really good metaphor for rape culture.  Like really, cats don’t give a flying fuck about what you want to do with them; unless that act is also on their agenda, you get the claws.  However, we humans call cats “fickle” and “aggressive” when cats don’t do what we want them to, or respond how we expect for them to respond.

However, when a cat DOES consent to being petted, or picked up, or snuggled, both sides get the warmest, fuzziest feeling ever and it’s ALL BECAUSE OF CONSENT.  Sure, as cats become accustomed to you, cats will become more and more tolerant, but there are still lines that can be crossed and we as a cat’s trusted companion need to respect them.

Now what does that sound like?

To me, that sounds a lot like rape culture, but also how we can teach people to get out of that rut.  A girl or boy at a bar doesn’t want your advances?  Back down, and don’t hold a grudge against them for it.  Your SO doesn’t want to have sex tonight?  Back down, and don’t hold a grudge against them for it.  Both sides consent to a kiss, or being asked on a date, or a steamy night?  Both sides win.

SO, can we stop demonizing both humans AND cats for wanting consent?  Please and thank you.

cold

Part I: bruise

Part II: failure

[Dedicated to @hardlynotnever for this piece of inspiration. Also be warned; major death.]

-

Zarkon remembers his Blue in sifts of smoke and dust. At times, in pauses of cold silence, the former Paladin could hear his name whispered with lost devotion, could hear laughter that echoed with the brightest of stars, and it haunted him. Still, the reverberations of light and tenderness, if Zarkon is honest, deafens him, steels him, and simply reminds him of the lonely millennia he has spent without the warmth of such adoration.

failure

Companion piece to “Bruise.”

-

Lance makes a promise that night with the echo of a longing ringing about his head; he sighs it to the stars, to the comet dust, to the void—for Shiro, for the team, for the universe, his heart will go into a glass case and never open.

Bruise

What’s black and blue and aches all over?

(Hope you like it, @elenorasweet !)

-

The first bruise occurs during a lackluster training session when Lance is personally nonethewiser. It’s a hit to the side, just below the ribs, a slight moment of failure to dodge a particularly nasty downward swipe. For the duration, there’s only the sensation of blood-pumping adrenaline, a high that never falters until time is called, and it’s all over.

HOW DARE

[southrn-bird]

No, but like for real; I wanna know what happened to Zarkon.

Like, was he ever good? Did he smile? Did he encourage and lead the paladins with a good yet stern affirmation? Or if he wasn’t always good, why was he entrusted with the Black Lion?

Or maybe Zarkon was good and then something happened? Does this mean something could happen to make Shiro turn dark?

Gosh. I just really wanna know what made this ten thousand year old monster the way he is today.
