I'm very glad to see notes on certain posts once in a while. It's...very reassuring to someone with like...catholic guilt beaten into them to see people agreeing that the things you make, create, fantasize, and enjoy do not make you a bad or good person. That they aren't what makes you a person worthy of respect and love and care.

#I'm going through it rn #but thank you #to all of you honestly #having the amount of followers I do I try to remember that that's all people who like the same kind of stuff I do #and there's no possible way all of them are 'bad people' because of that #because that's not how life and being human works #even those followers who have my dark content tags filtered because they like my other stuff and the stuff I share #because there's no doubt that there are some of you that do that #thank you for that #for realizing you can make your own space for your comfort with people you like who happen to make content you don't like #I definitely could use a bit of a break but I have become reliant on socials and such #but I will make an effort for myself #so I don't like #end up hating what I do and leave you guys suddenly #I don't want to do that #cream talks #if you read all of this thank you #personal #it may seem insincere because we are all strangers to each other #but I do appreciate you guys #very much

i'm not reblogging the whole post again but @zorilleerrant you are so real for this

#there are a great many skills and crafts that do take time effort and whatnot to do decently well #i can verify that. i do SEVERAL myself #costume jewellery is not and will never be one of them #which is great because honestly more people should make things with their hands (if they have hands and those hands are functional)#it's good for the soul #the reverse of 'you're paying me far too much for this tbh'#is that it's probably the ONE thing that you can start doing for yourself for VERY little investment #have nice stuff almost immediately #and feel like a god for beating claire's at the own game

I don't even really get the impression that if you were domming someone there would be anything "motherly" about

Yeah no I'm much more likely to be projecting semi-detached professionalism. If I'm domming I'm not really there for roleplay, I'm there to supervise you while you're locked down and squirming. I talk like tech support when I'm in a scene. "Not too tight? Good. I'm gonna take the vibe up two settings, yeah? Okay, great, I'm gonna leave that there, snap your fingers when it's getting to be too much; we'll keep ramping it up until you have to tap out." I like being unaffected and in control while people are losing it and I am not particularly tactile or into being touched or getting off while I'm doing that.

Which is great if you like to be dehumanized and objectified and hand yourself to me like you're taking a car to a mechanic! Less great if you're looking for a lot of praise or comfort or physical contact in the moment.

#I'm good at aftercare! I can be very comforting during aftercare!#but i am not interested in projecting emotions like a normal human being for my own sake #i have dommed for people who need a kinder gentler touch than my normal vibe #but it is a lot more effort and makes me a lot less certain of myself #i can help you with your medical kink not your mommy kink

The six eared macaque is spared!!

Now he has the opportunity to pester the group (in a less lethal manner).

[ it is important to note that I am heavily referencing OverlySarcasticProductions’ style, as they served as an inspiration. These are not the actual events of the story, and I do not claim their work as my own! ]

Ghost Hunter Au Part 1/2

I wasn’t initially planning on participating since this is a writing event and not an illustration one, but the prompt immediately inspired me so I got the go ahead to make a little comic! Part two out soon.

I've talked before about how the way people treat suicide can be unintentionally devastating to the suicidal person, but I don't think I really ever said how to avoid that.

Speaking about suicide in how selfish it "is" ("think about how you'll transfer your pain to your loved ones!") might seem like a way to put logical sense into the suicidal person, but, honestly? It runs the risk of massively increasing their shame and guilt about being suicidal. Suicide is not inherently a revenge fantasy or a way to "get back" at someone's loved ones, so when the suicidal person is treated like a criminal of a "crime" they haven't even committed yet, you can imagine how unhelpful that can become.

Instead, if you want to point out how cherished your person is, frame their relationships as something they can keep fostering.

"Your cat will miss you :(!!!!" becomes "you and your cat seem close, right? I'm sure it's beautiful having a close friend like that!" and maybe include ways that they and their cat are close and meaningful to each other, tailored to that relationship.

That's only one example, but when you shift the focus away from why that person should repent and feel guilty for being suicidal, you can instead focus on why they would live for that reason. See how you can frame that as a positive? Whatever is keeping that person tethered should never be used as a bludgeon, I think, because then you're taking away why they're living, the positivity of why they are here. Whatever they are here for should be remembered often and honoured.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #mental health support #suicide #suicide tw #(after this i'm going to rant about being told the unhelpful narrative i included above)#when i was younger the thing i was told the most was that suicide would only transfer my pain to others...#...and is that true? maybe. was it helpful? no.#why was that unhelpful?#because i started using that as yet ANOTHER reason to feel guilty and to lash out against myself...#...because that didn't magic away my suicidality like it 'should have'...#...and that was ~obvious~ proof i didn't care enough about my loved ones to keep them out of harms way...#...and it can be really hard not to do that (give advice like that) because if you're not the suocidal person...#...you have the luxury of thinking without the burden they are labouring under...#...you can see 'logically' and make assumptions about what the other person 'needs'#it's just frustrating because i know that people like this want to help but i worry about *how* they are helping...#...in the sense that i want their efforts to actually help their person and bring them closer

(not a confession just a bit of a rant)

i think the tma/tmagp fandom needs to collectively realise that these are HORROR podcasts. and even if the episode or whatever doesn't scare you, it is made to be terrifying and will scare someone else. rusty quill puts content warnings in their episode descriptions for a reason.

tumblr has these handy content warning tags, and it takes about 2 seconds to add them to your post. so when you post art of an episode, chances are you should be adding a few content warnings there.

I saw it with art of needles for a bit, even though the fear of needles is actually quite a well-known phobia. Now i'm seeing it again with tmagp 11. I've seen several pieces of art and not one of them had any content warnings.

i really did not have a great time with tmagp 11's statement, and i really don't need to be reminded of that everytime i scroll through tumblr because nobody can be bothered to tag their posts.

it's not that hard. and just a little bit more effort might stop someone from accidentally coming across their worst fear.

also, and this is less of a pressing issue, maybe it isn't just art that should be tagged with tw. just the words are designed to be terrifying. so if you have quotes from episodes in a text post, quotes that are designed to provoke fear, tag that too.

(also, just because you don't know the name of a phobia, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. it just confuses me that we can all tag stuff for scopophobia and eye contact but not thalassophobia??)

(respond to this as honestly as you want, i don't care. i just wanted to share something that's been bothering me lately)

.

#yea this is fair. trigger tagging stuff is rly important agreed #it does infuriate me when things arent correctly tagged and i do think ppl should be more mindful of others #i understand ppl who dont have a good grasp on what stuff is triggering (i struggle with that myself)#but yea i think making an effort is important #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tma #the magnus archives #magpod #magpod confession
