wow y’all where no where near this supportive when i was witch hunted holy shit

the posts that where made general attitude was “if you’re prolife fuck go yourself and block me” or “im pro choice if you have a problem with that block me” i had to literally tell the only person who supported me the whole time not to say anything out of fear they would get targeted too, i didn’t have this kind of support. what i posted wasn’t even supposed to go on that blog, it wasn’t reblogged intentionally, and it was taken down quickly. i was still witch hunted for it two months later.

its just a little funny to see who and what you’re all willing to publicly support and what you’re not.

#kotlc #kotlc discourse #im NOT a fan of call out posts #i think they’re shitty #ive been witch hunted i know what its like #but at the same time #what did you seriously expect to happen when you post insest #people would just be chill with it??? #insest is GROSS #it makes people very uncomfortable when its treated as normal #people are gonna say something #because it makes them uncomfortable #you don’t exist in a vacuum what you post has real life consequences #the consequences being call out posts #i don’t want to hear a lecture about how people should be able to make what they want #thats NOT what im talking about #people should be able to make what they want #but need to understand depending on WHAT they make #people will react certain ways #this being one of said ways #and maybe it’s warranted #maybe its not #also if you make said things #for the love of GOD tag it correctly i don’t want to see it #i know theres a fintan x keefe fic that isn’t taggerd correctly on Ao3 #also yes im prolife DEAL WITH IT

So I saw this link:

For OC making references, is there any cultural attire/traditions that we should know about? Or are they like humans: they can wear pretty much whatever?

They can wear whatever they’d like! Though there are occasions where they wear “special” attire that are connected to their traditions (especially with Davin, Mika and Felicity) that’s something I’ve yet to figure out! Thank you for your question!

#AUGH. #turns out those questions were ridiculously easy #literally german one material #but again my problem is less that i don’t know the language and more that ‘dawg i don’t remember a specific good day from my childhood???’ #i remember specific bad memories and i remember general good vibes #but human memory doesn’t really jot down positive things of note #at least not in my experience #ok i lied i am a bit lacking in vocabulary too. thank you leo.org #i just didn’t trust myself to pronounce certain words correctly tho LOLLLL #also uuuuuhhh. ‘limit each response to 2 minutes’ bud the entire comprehensive audio file was just under two minutes 🤡 #i said what i said ok. hope that’s enough #i said what i had enough time to think of on the fly #45 minutes is not that long #<- finished 11 minutes early bc aaaah panic no time!!! #whatever. let’s see if my responses were good enough to qualify me for a higher german class #(registration opens tomorrow and this will NOT have been graded by then. ah well) #i register very early for my grade so hopefully i can just leave a class out and come back to it later once i get my results #who knows maybe if i do pass this test i might test out of having to take a language class at all #allegedly #i am. not as good at speaking as i used to be #but i’m also not as bad as i thought i’d be #peach rambles

i think it’s so funny when sns shippers who hate sakura are like “but sakura is not important in canon! she is an annoying random ass girl” bc not only are they wrong but also a bit incoherent. so you say canon matters but when it comes to sasuke and naruto it doesn’t because they should’ve ended up together? i mean you seem to be absolutely capable of understanding the gay subtext but you can’t understand how sakura is important narratively? she is the healer (if i hear one more time “that’s the least she could do” i’ll riot fr) it’s a well known pattern: the moon, the sun, the healer.

stop undermining sakura’s role.

#and no. naruto is not sasuke’s healer #pls stop with the narrative that naruto is a healer #he is not #he’s got other roles to play #and while sasuke in part one is the glue i don’t think he continues to be the glue #considering naruto and sakura are best friends #ANYWAY #it’s feminism until a girl gets in the way of a mlm ship #sakurapost #sakura haruno #i will try tag this correctly #anti sns fandom #but not everyone just ppl who hate on sakura for the reasons said above #it’s not necessary anti sns because i enjoy them #i don’t ship them but i also don’t think of them as brothers. they’re bros who would smash each other. and maybe kiss a bit #but i looooooove narusasusaku #also please #sakura antis dni

note to self: if you’re a trans woman and you become famous, tell people some bs about how you’re not actually trans despite transitioning. it’ll make everyone like you more.

#just hit em with some bullshit about ‘oh i’m not trans and i’m not cis’ and nobody will ever yell at you for not doing gender correctly #it’s a genius plan! #because y’all eat it right up apparently el oh el #trans #transgender #shouldn’t have tagged it but i’m tired grandpa! #and if you get mad at me about this imma just say i’m not trans and you’re trying to tell me what to do #like ‘ummmmmm it’s literally so transphobic and bioessentialist of you to attack my opinion as a gnc individual’ #‘don’t you know i’m the be-all and end-all of all trans issues?’ #so many people are not over the mere metaphysical idea of ‘can a man become a woman’ like they do NOT want to say yes #so as long as you don’t say you’re a woman people like you more #and they’ll claim it’s because of you having a really ‘interesting gender’ but it will be because they don’t think you should be allowed #like they just don’t like the idea of a man being a woman #and you know it too because of that ONE E-CELEB #who I WILL NOT NAME #but he’d never get away with his (very lucrative) bit if he said he was a woman #because then it’s not fun anymore to y’all #it’s okay to do fetishy stuff with the idea of femininity AS LONG AS YOU DONT DARE SAY YOU’RE A WOMAN #unless you’re a cis woman ofc because then nobody cares #so best just to be a trans woman in everything but name #you’ll make the tumblrinas love ya

What’s that one post that’s like ‘idk why people say birth control is so bad everyone I know irl that uses it life is improved by it and they don’t get side effects’ bc it’s true

#people getting bad side effects with hormonal birth control are the minority nowadays #because the doses are now lower than they used to be and sometimes w different chemicals most likely #and it’s basically just conservative propaganda wanting to scare people from using it #misha speaks #I know of literally one person who said they had a bad experience #meanwhile everyone else is like this is great incl myself this is my second month where not only have I had no cramping #which I’ve gone every month on birth control with no debilitating cramping like I used to have #but literally I take it consistently and I’ve not been getting a period whatsoever #I think fucking with your hormone levels so that you don’t need have a period is cool and sexy #I’m just thinking about how I’d be in such terrible pain for an entire day and pain meds wouldn’t even take the edge off #I could do it again obvs but I’m grateful for the flexibility now #the natural fallacy is real esp when you have what honestly amounts to a medical condition lol #‘actually it’s normal and natural that you’re in pain’ actually it’s just not life threatening that doesn’t mean it’s good. #everything I’ve heard about copper IUDs are like it is the devil. but also if you put it in correctly is very effective to kill sperm. #thinking of two of my friends who had a lingering painful experience getting an IUD put in #I’m like.. I would feel like shit if I was their partner.. also you continue to have ur period with an IUD right it just doesn’t seem worth

Why aren’t there more platonic love songs? Like I can sing romantic love songs and mean them platonically but why aren’t there more specifically platonic love songs?

#this is why I write music smh #I can think of like two songs that are about loving someone platonically #and one of them I don’t remember if it’s specifically platonic or not? #if I remember correctly the artist said it was but I’d have to check #music

i really do need to stop thinking about this fight but i’m legitimately gonna blow my brains out about it

#personal #like i just keep doing the same loots on the train of thoughts about it #and like as a kid i always has moments after fights were i was like #i’m never talking to him again and then he’s gonna realize how awful he is #and then like next day i’m talking to him bc my big brother is my favorite person ever #but like. i keep imagining scenarios where i can correctly explain myself and he’s listening #but i lose all the anger and fight like a sentence in #i just can’t do it #it’s not gonna change and he can’t hear me and i just can’t do it #and that makes me so fucking depressed im just fighting back tears rn #and i want to be fair to him i really do #and i’m always gonna be more biased to myself bc. well. you know #but god he’s done awful things to me #he ruined the word fag he outted me he’s said genuinely nasty and cruel things i’ve never said to him #not that i haven’t been awful back #god im getting tired explaining even this #and then i just keep thinking about how much he must hate me and that hurts worse bc i love him and i know i’m not a positive force in his #life im just like an annoying hurdle you enjoy sometimes but more out of familarity than anything else #and everyone in my family vastly prefers him and i don’t blame them!!! #i remember being a kid and seeing him get some kind of reading reward #and i was so. upset with myself bc i wasn’t like him. and i was jealous #but mostly i remember clapping super loud and thinking about how happy and proud of and for him i was #i just want him to stop treating me like i’m dumb and he says he doesn’t but he does #all the time #and i want him to stop trying to fix my problems all the time #and i feel awful that i was his responsibility unfairly for so long and im actively trying to get away from that role from him #i’m trying i’m trying and i’m trying but god above #i’m just so tired and so upset #and i’m starting to think i just cause issues on purpose #like i’m subconsciously bored bc this can’t just happening all the time to woe is me like i know i’m not but i have to be at this point

When I was in ninth grade I wanted to challenge what I saw as a very stupid dress code policy (not being allowed to wear spikes regardless of the size or sharpness of the spikes). My dad said to me, “What is your objective?”

He said it over and over. I contemplated that. I wanted to change an unfair dress code. What did I stand to gain? What did I stand to lose? If what I really wanted was to change the dress code, what would be my most effective potential approach? (He also gave me Discourses on the Fall of Rome by Titus Livius, Machiavelli’s magnum opus. Of course he’d already given me The Prince, Five Rings, and The Art of War.)

I ultimately printed out that phrase, coated it in Mod Podge, and clipped it to my bathroom mirror so I would look at it and think about it every day.

What is your objective?

Forget about how you feel. Ask yourself, what do you want to see happen? And then ask, how can you make it happen? Who needs to agree with you? Who has the power to implement this change? What are the points where you have leverage over them? If you use that leverage now, will you impair your ability to use it in the future? Getting what you want is about effectiveness. It is not about being an alpha or a sigma or whatever other bullshit the men’s right whiners are on about now. You won’t find any MRA talking points in Musashi, because they are not relevant.

I had no clear leverage on the dress code issue. My parents were not on the PTA; neither were any of my friend’s parents who liked me. The teachers did not care about this. Ultimately I just wore what I wanted, my patent leather collar from Hot Topic with large but flattened spikes, and I had guessed correctly—the teachers also did not care enough to discipline me.

I often see people on tumblr, mostly the very young, flail around in discourse. They don’t have an objective. They don’t know what they want to achieve, and they have never thought about strategizing and interpersonal effectiveness. No one can get everything they want by being an asshole. You must be able to work with other people, and that includes smiling when you hate them.

Read Machiavelli. Start with The Prince, but then move on to Discourses. Read Musashi’s Five Rings. Read The Art of War. They’re classics for a reason. They can’t cover all situations, but they can do more for how you think about strategizing than anything you’re getting in middle school and high school curricula.

Don’t vote third party unless you can tell me not only what your objective is but also why this action stands a meaningful chance of accomplishing it. Otherwise, back up and approach your strategy from a new angle. I don’t care how angry you are with Biden right now. He knows about it, and he is both trying to do something and not doing enough. I care about what will happen to millions of people if we have another Trump presidency. Look up Ross Perot, and learn from our past. Find your objective. If it is to stop the genocide in Palestine now, call your elected representatives now. They don’t care about emails; they care about phone calls, because they live in the past. I know this because I shadowed a lobbyist, because knowing how power works is critical to using it.

How do you think I have gotten two clinics to start including gender care in their planning?

Start small. Chip away. Keep working. Find your leverage; figure out how and when to effectively use it. Choose your battles, so that you can concentrate on the battle at hand instead of wasting your resources in many directions. Learn from the accumulated wisdom of people who spent their lives learning by doing, by making mistakes, by watching the mistakes of their enemies.

Don’t be a dickhead. Be smarter than I was at 14. Ask yourself: what is your objective?

Is there a single dark drow in this whole fucking game other than maybe Tav/Durge? Did they forget drow are **dark** elves with **obsidian** skin????

#I can forgive the tiefling eyes because I don’t think most people do that anyway #and there are two solid eyes anyway if I remember correctly #and the flames are a cool idea #but the drow are all so light #Syvin felt so fucking dark and out of place and I thought I was the oddball until I remembered actual the drow description #like ah no those drow are the oddballs #why are all of them so nearly white #gimme a dark elf that’s actually dark #I don’t mind if like they can technically be lighter so some of them are lighter #but they shouldn’t all be the same fucking light tone like that #I’m sure this has already be said 100 times #I’ve just been thinking about it again since I’m running Syvin again #Larian why you gotta be like this #bg3 #rambles

I got so freaking scared and confused, I don’t know how to react 😭

#I was watching svu and someone yelled outside earlier freaking me out #and you know it’s not the happiest of show #and the. I heard sounds from my balcony so I checked if it was the win if someone was there like my stupid brain was telling me #I didn’t expect to actually see someone 😭 #they weren’t on my balcony but were close to my window so I checked if they were trying to get to my window (which on the ground can easily #be broke sadly* #but no they were trying to reach my neighbours balcony above ???? #I turned around trying to breath correctly cause I was panicking and 30 second later they were no one there 😱 #but now I keep hearing sound from the front balcony (door opening and closing too) and in the back too #but I’m pretty sure I heard Spanish so it must be my neighbours #but who in the hell is visiting them at 2 am ???? from the balcony ??? also they are super loud it!s annoying (it’s scary) ??? #they better stop cause I’ll be going to bed soon 😭 #but like I said pretty sure I heard Spanish so I don’t think it’s a robber and I hope not cause I will feel horribly bad 😭 #edit : it’s them cause she’s singing 😐😭 #I got scared for nothing #alex.txt

[screampied]

toji realizes he’s in love with you when he lets you shave his face for the first time,

he’s got the biggest grump of a scowl plastered on his naturally crooked lips. as he’s glowering, he’s also trying to prevent himself from smiling because you looked so cute. your touch with him was gentle—like it always was. after you wiped his face with a dampened face towel, you rub your hands against the lower part of his jaw. “soooo,” you utter, breaking the dead silence as he’s just peering down at you. “tell me ‘bout your day, toji.”

with the palms of your hands tenderly caressing against his chiseled jawline—you smear every part of his chin and cheekbones with shaving cream. even the secluded areas underneath his nose. as you do so, toji tchs. “day was fine, baby. ‘n i told ya i can shave myself.”

“i know i know,” you hum, creating a circular motion with your hands before gently making sure every sector near the lower part of his face was lathered with nice frothy amounts of shaving cream. “wowww, you’ve got such soft skin. skin routine when?”

“ugh, y’er insufferable,” he rolls his eyes. although, his skin was surprisingly clear. toji only had a bit of a stubble, hardly any facial hair but it was growing the more he aged. you took it upon yourself to ask to help him shave and he said yes, not realizing how much he’d soon grow to like it. the feeling of your delicate, warm hands rubbing against his face was somewhat . . soothing. with a deep, heaving sigh, toji’s hooded jade eyes meet yours. he spots your pout and his shoulders lower. “alright fine, i’ll teach you one day. only if ya stop poutin'..”

with a cheeky grin, your little pout falters and you smile. “okay,” and you wait for about a good three minutes to allow the spumous cream to souse everywhere on his pores. it takes a while—and as you wait, you take a moment to stare at his features. toji was definitely easy on the eyes up close. naturally long black lashes of his flicker as he returns your loving gaze, and he avoids eye contact for a moment. perhaps you were making him a bit . . nervous. darkened eyebrows of his arch into an almost sheepish raise while he watches your adorable curious simper stretch further. “don’t be so stiff, what are you, nervous?”

“not nervous. jus’ don’t want ya to cut my face off.” he grumbles in a hoarse tone, ogling intently at you opening the bathroom cabinet for his razor. “you know what y’er doin’ right? i’d like ‘ta keep my face.”

“oh, don’t be dramatic,” and now it’s your turn to roll your eyes. toji’s got a growing smirk tugging against his lips as he gawks you carefully start to shave in the exact sectors of where his facial hair resides. you did lots and lots of research—he knew this because he caught you reading various wikiHow articles on how to shave a guy’s face correctly. toji would never in a million years tell you, but he found that fact entirely adorable. you made sure you knew how to avoid burns and razor bumps. as you’re fixated on his chin, you mumble, “you’ll keep your pretty face, don’t cry.”

“aw, think ‘m pretty?” toji says, and you see the playful glint in his eyes. he’s easing up a bit, and he acknowledges that you were right. right about his stiffness, he was a bit tense. shoulders raised and all, but now—as of late, he’s starting to calm down a bit the more you talk to him. “i’d prefer the term 'handsome' but that works too, i guess.”

you deadpan, continuing your trail against his face—the razor sings out a shrieking tiiiing the more you gingerly shave with soft, gentle strokes.

it’s somewhat relaxing with the way the edges of the instrument adapts to the chiseled contours on his face. the foam starts to come off within each downward stroke and you’re very slow and precise. “okay, don’t be cocky,” you titter, and he feels his heart flutter a bit at how you’re just so dedicated. you’re so focused that your tongue briefly sticks out of your mouth, trying to make sure you do it perfectly. you tried your hardest not to cut him—you were so careful and that simple detail alone could have been enough for him to propose. “you should let me do this more. ‘s kinda fun.”

“eh. maybe,” toji shrugs, his voice coming out in a rough rasp. he doesn’t even realize it but his expressions significantly soften. he was only this way around you. to him, the thought of that was kind of scary. after you start to edge with the precision trimmer and reach underneath his nose and chin, you wrap it up. successfully discarding all of the foamy cream from his face, spotting his now clean jawline, you break away to rinse off the now grubby blades in the sink. “all done?”

“wait— don’t look yet,” you gasp, preventing him from gazing at himself in the mirror. “i still have to do the uh . . what’s it called again?”

toji snickers. “aftershave, baby.”

“aftershave,” you repeat. “right right,” and you’re so cute, kneeling down towards the wooden cabinet directly underneath the sink. you take out the mini bottle, pouring a nice goopy amount into your palm. you let toji wash his face with cold water first, patting it dry, and then you start to bedaub the facial balm in all the sensitive areas against his skin. he adores the mushy texture of your hands making contact with his face as each second passes. toji’s eyeing you, an almost grunt leaving his lips as a thumb of yours gently tickles against his infamous scar. the scar that slants itself near the right side of his lip. “thereee we go,” you give him a soft smile, the aromatic scent of tea tree oil setting against your nostrils. up close, his pores were now all so clear and you stare in awe for a bit at just how charming he was. the moisture that lays against his skin feels a lot more smooth. you grow silent for a moment before your own face softens. “okayyy, ‘m done.”

toji finally glances into the mirror, seeing his freshly new spotless face and he sees your proud toothy grin in the mirror’s reflection behind him. he cranes his neck to the side, feeling the once rough texture of his jawline now soft. he then lets off a tiny exhale. “looks good. y’er a natural,” and he turns to face you, he’s pondering on what to say. oh, your eyes sparkled with such admiration from his praise that it was just adorable. “thank you, sweetheart. for y’know . . takin’ care of me. y’er really . . sweet.”

and with that, his lips inch down to press a warm kiss against the crown of your head. your heart immediately swarms up with a frantic school of butterflies and so does his. toji prepares speak again and it’s an almost inaudible mumble. you could barely even register what he said at first because it was so hushed, but toji gruffs in a low tone. “i … love you..”

“h- huh?”

scoffing, he hides the burning embarrassed flush against his face by pulling you into his broad chest. you giggle at how he just abruptly snatches you close into his warm body before he slings a beefy arm around you. “i said, let’s uh.. do our skin care together later t’night.”

“awww i love you too toj—”

“oh my god, s-shut up..”

Errrrr er

#sa cw #in the past few days multiple different horrific SAs have been reported SUPER close to me #all completely random by strangers #one i walked past on my way home the other day it’s super close #and the other is at the bottom of where I grew up which is also fairly close by #and I just :////// #it’s scary yknow. I live alone and frequently go out on my own #usually I don’t think too much about it but it is pretty scary how just. anything could happen. and I’d have no one around me #maybe it’s cos when I was a kid my best friends neighbor got murdered on her doorstep #we all lived really close together #and my aunt lived really close too. said they heard something but assumed it was fox screams #and idk. like. if I remember correctly she’d been dropped home by her boyfriend #but he didn’t walk her to the door and someone had been lurking waiting for her #so when her boyfriend left this other guy attacked her #it was truly horrific anyway I’m feeling:///// abt stuff rn
