this dancin' monkey ain't dancin' much these days.
(Born in late 1900's) Multi-fandom blog featuring...Pretty much whatever I feel like reblogging at the time. I write and smut happens so 馃敒 Minors DNI 馃敒 This blog is 18+
how come all your female ofcs are white? why don't you write anything with black ofcs?
my dude according to my best friend of 10+ years who is black, I am "whiter than a goddamn supernova"
I make snow look like it has a tanning problem
I glow in the dark
I'm Irish, French, and German, three nationalities of pale as fuck
so I write white ofcs
could I write woc? probably. my "canon" Shepard from Mass Effect is based off Christina Cox, who is of Jamaican descent. My "canon" Ryder from Mass Effect Andromeda is mixed race; her dad was black, her mom was white. Her twin brother Scott is pale like their mom, but she got her dads skin tone. Which can happen, rarely, with fraternal twins. I've written things about both of them, so I can, and I have, I just don't now as I see my ofcs as white because I am white.
I might have been blessed and have only interacted with the good side of the Destiny community.
Maybe the good side is so big that you have to go digging for the bad. Maybe the bad side is only on Twitter and Reddit
But I have never run into the Toxic players of Destiny.
And it's not like I stay in my own little bubble. Watch creators and streamers, etc. Go into forums looking for things. I lurk in a discord of 3d modelers I found on Reddit.
I'm not saying they don't exist, every game has their toxic players. Some more than others.
I've had random players help me find things in Destiny during matches, or wait at the last encounter while others are looking for collectables.
I've played this game for 8 years, and I've seen more good than bad and that's ... that's kind of impressive.

鉃★笍 Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.
鉃★笍 Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.
鉃★笍 Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.
鉃★笍 An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.
鉃★笍 Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.
鉃★笍 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'
鉃★笍 Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.
鉃★笍 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.
鉃★笍 It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.
鉃★笍 You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.
Coworker 1: Catie! I know you'll know this! What's it called when someone is really into criminals? Like really into them. I'm talking serial killers.
Me: Like listens to true crime podcasts to fall asleep, into them? Or sends marriage proposals to them in jail after they've been convicted, into them?
Coworker 2: People do that?
Me: Dude, Ted Bundy fathered a child while he was on death row.
Coworker 1: Yes! That one!
Me: Hybristophilia
Coworker 2: How do you know this?
Me: I listen to True Crime podcasts to fall asleep.
