#your safety comes first

[dirtytransmasc]

after all the times Rhaenyra lied through teeth, she never got any better at it.

#props to #emma d'arcy #cause her acting is phenomenal when it comes to making Rhaenyra flounder whenever she lies #lukewarm feelings on Rhaenyra Targaryen #anti rhaenyra targaryen #(putting this here for my own safety and well being) #its just so frustrating to see her do literally anything to cover her lies #from murder. maiming. faking ones death. seeking to torture her own little brother. etc. etc. #yet she can't lie to anyone worth a damn #not once has anyone not seen past her lies #like girly... if you and your children's lives depend on you keeping your card house of lies standing #get better at lying #hotd #house of the dragon #rewatching hotd is hell cause every time I do so I notice more and more bones to pick #like the first time theres just so much to absorb you miss a lot of it #but the more you watch it #the more you notice #the more you want to rip your hair out

Happy birthday month, Rebekah! I'm glad you exist :)

Predictably, may I please have an OC of your choosing?

I chose this scene from A Constellation of Six because it’s been in my head since I first read it and was the first image that came to me when you were deciding which short story to revisit.

Perfectionism strikes again and until today left me unwilling to commit to something less spectacular than the image inside my head, and that’s my only excuse for why this took so long. The pose itself came together fairly quickly despite no references on that account, and the rest was a breeze thanks to your research. In the end I gave up on the background and scribbled the night over everything except the two of them, but funnily enough what remained after that came much closer to what I’d imagined anyway.

so thank you for your patience with this one as well as the reference hunting you did, I had a lot of fun.

#Nyella is so wonderfully complex (like all your characters really) and I’m fascinated by the contrast between the warmth and lightness she #is to Josiah (I like that her gown is white because she’s like this beacon of safety to him and I got to try to bring some of that #out visually) not to mention the bright loving and curious woman she is for her own sake #vs the relatively young and inexperienced woman that she is when it comes to handling her stepdaughters—and Josiah when it comes to the #possibility of needing to discern the truth and discipline him! #And while I relate a little too hard to Josiah’s fear of the dark (at that age I was terrified for sure) and can certainly #understand and sympathize with his thought processes a great disservice was done to him as well as Ayra in the matter of the broken watch #Because I’m also all too familiar with his desire to stretch the truth to or outright lie to make himself look better #And by not even doubting what he said when Ayra had insufficient reason to lie *and* a witness on her side then I can guess that #The habit that gets him into trouble by book 3 had the seeds of it planted here. #ANYWAY I love how it turned out in the end. I tried a dressing gown for Josiah but I liked just the striped pajamas better #Bare feet are hard but I didn’t consider the possibility of slippers till just now oops #Nyella’s hair at first resembled Rietta’s a tad too much so I smoothed it out #Birthday sketches #I’m working on the next one already but wow what is up with me this month???

If CK Daniel was somehow able to go back in time and give Johnny a good dicking down to calm him a bit, I think that’d be beneficial.

The Cobras, wondering why Johnny just helped someone pick up their things: ???

Johnny, legit still cock drunk and smiley: Hm?

No worries, boys, he just got railed by a guy he assumed was Daniel’s father or uncle.

#Daniel like: I was wondering why he was so much more chill that week #Johnny. bby. his dad is not around #Imagine thats how he found out about Daniel’s dad. ‘Hey worm when is your dad gonna come to school instead of your mom?’ #‘My dad is dead. why are you asking???’ #Johnny would get so cockhungry after another week of the older guy never coming around again #that he ends up between all other cobras and taking it over and over again #which they loved because they had been confiding in each other their fantasies about their leader #lawrusso #russolaw #safety first #nsft #tw age difference #tw death

#i felt so good after talking to my therapist about the issue w my dad #and i didnt even come to any new conclusions or anything i just told her whats been on my mind what im struggling with and why im so afraid #to confront him and she validated me #which honestly was so new to me? like everytime italked about it it felt like people didnt see the seriousness and why im struggling so muc #with it #like Why are you so afraid of your dad. Why do you have such a hard time. Just do it . Just deal with it. girl i would if it was so easy #but she didnt react like this at all & she didnt ask anything that implied she might be thinking this way too. im v blessed alhamdulillah #she suggested to tell him that i want to wear the hijab through the phone for my own safety (which isnt an option personally but i #really appreciated the thought behind it) #and she also told me that i shouldnt do it if i dont feel ready yet to face him and its like. the first time ever someone told me this lol #she said i shouldnt put more weight on my shoulders because the situation will be a lot worse if i m not prepared #i do feel ready now though ive been dealing with this for months im just so so so scared. im so scared iwant to cry all the time #anyway. ive been sleeping much worse than usually and im waking up completely covered in sweat which is #so disgusting. i was worried that im sick or smth (cancer lol) but realised it started w ramadan!!! which is when i made up my mind when #i will talk to him #may Allah help me may Allah protect me #im about to cry again aaa

for as tough as cameron acts in those diary rooms, he'll pussy out and do some dumb shit every time!

#bb25 #your first move coming back into the game off some bullshit is taking out... felicia? oh wow. #could've got out a comp threat (matt) but here we are. #giggling though because the week started with everyone kissing his ass and then he flopped and transitioned to trying #to get safety with cory for next week LMFAOOO. #i have to laugh! 🚨 loser! loser! 🚨

there's more to this video that is not as bad but keeping social media at the forefront of your dating rules? this is so depressing we are literally never getting out of this

#i swear i swear as someone who hates social media & the performance of it all when it comes to curating your social & professional lives #there is nothing i hate more than people who expect their partners to post about their relationship #with the assumption being that you must not want others to know about your relationship if you are not 'showing it off' #which first off. is such a bizarrely cisheternormative idea when you take into account the number of queer people who have to keep their #relationships in the closet due to safety reasons #but more importantly. even if 'showing off' is your love language. shouldn't you be respecting the consent & choices of your partner? #& don't even get me started on the performativity of it all. reminds me of cj's ironic exclamation #'the celebrity is democraticed! hail the revolution!' #or something to that effect #point is. why is it so normalised for the online performance of our lives to be attached to every aspect of the human experience #if love is a performance it must be a performance for the one you love & not for the online hyperreality #which also just drives me insane about cishet relationships as social status points #but that's neither here nor there #personal <3

hello!! i love your colorful plushies and would love to order one but i am worried. i am closeted and im not ready to come out yet. so does the packaging have pride flags or anything?

hi there! I am so happy you like the puppies! everything about them is meant to be discreet, from the design to my website to the packaging (each plushie is packed in a pink poly bag, and the packing slip, if included just has the name of the puppy, Sadie, Beau, etc.) the only place I mention pride related things is on social media, usually on this account or my twitter very occasionally.

that being said, it's important to be cautious still even when buying super discreet pride items. at the end of the day they are still the pride colors and some people may recognize them as such. safety is always a priority!

#plushie txt #asks #as someone who is closeted themselves and literally pulling this off while living in the same home as homophobic family members #id like to say thats a good indicator that theyre very discreet! I do it for my own sake as well as the people who are in the same place #but i would not be in physical danger in the chance I was outed #whereas i know thats not the case for many people. be safe when buying pride merch! #i know firsthand it's so lovely to have things to celebrate your pride #but safety should always be the priority. #for the first 8 i have alternate themes ive come up with if anyone would like to hear #Im typing these notes on my phone and keep forgetting that the comma separates the tags so im so sorry if theyre incomprehensible :'/

[triangle-dog]

I sure tease my dog a lot about going in the water more often when it's cold than when it's warm for a person who did 16 or so creek crossings and a flooded section of trail on their hike today 😅

#I speak #come visit me #an internet stranger #I can take you (and your dogs) to so many forests where others rarely tread #it'll be great fun! 💙 (if you ignore all the internet safety rules) #the trick is you have to guess where I live first

[immabitqueer]

Do you have 2.5 kids? No? But don't you want kids? How can you be sure you won't want kids in the future?

#to be clear this is about doctors not giving grown women/afabs autonomy to make medical decisions for themselves #if you can't have a hysterectomy for other medical reasons or something im so sorry but your safety comes first #healthcare #reproductive health #reproductive rights #afab health #this blog is a danger space for terfs actually #fuck that shit #feminism is rad transphobes are not #feminism #op is trans #bodily autonomy #medical consent #tw medical

even has killed people—though perhaps that depends on your definition of people—and it’s not. how do i put it. it’s never cool, you know? it’s never a moment where this puts them in control of a situation, where they can show off some skill in putting someone down. because even is not, generally, very powerful, and they do not know how to do this.

it just gets messy.

which is one of those terrible reasons why they… well, they don’t like the master, but they have to like that she can do it easy, quick, clean. she can give even the ability to, as well, when she wants. if for no other reason than it means that they won’t have to scrub it raw off their skin later, they appreciate that.

#but if left to their own devices? #what im saying i think is: the doctor 🤝 even: has killed someone with a rock #and of course i say whatever your definition of people is because you’d have to ask if you count daleks as people #i’m honestly not sure if even does. they might have pre-getting launched into a pocket dimension war. they really might have. #very expansive definition of people on account of them not really feeling like they should count as one anyway so therefore if they do. lots #of things must. including the murder trash cans. they’re flesh on the inside aren’t they? they speak they think they hate. #but i think they stop. because it’s better not to. it’s easier. and guiltless too. not like a dalek stops to xonsider your personhood. #but to be very very clear. even has also killed just. guys. #actually i have in my notes here that the tone-setting moment of this whole. arc? #is that it really starts with a jailbreak. predicated on lackluster security for one of the prisoners because they are *just* a human. #and the other is. well. and there’s a war that won’t end that there’s no escape from now to worry about. #but the tone-setting part yeah. is that this really starts with even befriending someone like them through the bars. time lords need #janitors too you know? someone has to clean up around the cells. and they let even out for a minute because of that friendship. #as you can imagine. even is not going back in the cell once they’re out of it. no matter what they promised. and their ‘friend’ is going to #alert someone. and. #you need to understand most of all from this first point. that even doesn’t know that regeneration isn’t A) an inherent trait of gallfrey #rather than a granted one and B) infallible. that’s the cslculation they make. that whatever damage they do won’t matter because they’ll #come back from the dead. ………they do not. #it’s reslly a ‘congratulations! you broke free of the narrative constraints (and safeties) of standing near the doctor! murder is now #unlocked! good luck!’ moment akdhfkshdkfj #anyway. <3 makes their life worse on purpose <3 #dw oc

[scoutpologist]

my bird cuddles w me like he’s trying to merge with me and i love him so much it breaks my heart

#op #he’s everything to me. i mean that more seriously than i’ve ever meant anything #i wish so bad that taking a nap with your bird isn’t incredibly incredibly dangerous for them #because i would fall asleep so easy if i had a little bird snuggle up against my neck #but his safety always comes first <3 my baby <3333

[hella1975]

id like it to be known that i wholeheartedly support abortion. i support abortion for the person whose pregnancy has become too dangerous to come to term. i support abortion for the victim of rape. i support abortion for those who don't have the financial means to have a child. i support abortion for those underage. i support abortion for someone middle-aged with a stable family and finances and loving partner who quite simply does not want a child. i support abortion for people who sleep around. i support abortion for someone who thought they wanted a child but changed their mind. i support abortion in all its infinitely different situations. if it comes to me picking between a bunch of cells that look like fish eggs and an actual living breathing person with a name and future then babe we're having caviar

#fun fact! 9/10 abortions happen before 12 weeks #and over half happen in the first 8 weeks #at 12 weeks your fetus (bc it's not even a baby yet if u want to be technical) is the size of a lime. a fucking lime #i wasnt going to make a post about this bc i dont like bringing politics onto tumblr #bc after how jaded i got with covid and now Everythign Else i wanted a site that could be safe from real world shit #and also it's very tiring that an American Issue suddenly becomes Everyone's Issue and it can be quite frustrating #when that energy isn't met for literally any other country. and i didnt want to contribute to the en masse posting about roe v wade atm #for those two reasons (at least on tumblr. im not actually spiteful about this and obviously really care about the topic. it's just tiring) #but it's come to my attention that somehow i have pro-lifers in these parts #and i want to make it very fucking clear that i dont want them here #me and this blog are completely wholeheartedly pro-choice in any form it may show itself as #because i have enough critical thinking skills to know two basic facts #1) that people have ALWAYS had abortions. the only thing that's changed is the safety in which they're carried out #you will NEVER get rid of them you will only ever endanger the people and women you're trying so hard to 'protect' #and 2) i have never heard of a single person that was happy to get an abortion. not one. it's not a fun experience #it's incredibly hard and traumatic but oftentimes necessary for whatever personal reason specific to that person #stop fucking making laws about other people's bodies #it really shouldn't be difficult

[homosexual-having-tea]

The other day ago, I saw a kid with a link in their bio that gave their name, nicknames, age, birthday, nationality, and what city they lived in. and. like. look. Look, as a newly christened adult, may I advise you: DON'T FUCKING DO THAT. I wasn't gonna make a post, but like.... that is so worrying and I am quite concerned about modern internet safety to say the least.

To all the kids who follow me, don't post your real name! Don't tell people where you live! Don't give away personal information online!!!! I know that, of course, there are some great people you've met through Tumblr/etc but guys. guys. not everyone is like that, no matter how unfortunate it is. PLEASE please please, practice internet safety! There unfortunately some very unsavory characters online who I guarantee you do not want knowing your real name and where you live.

#look. i know im 18 #i know im barely an adult #BUT I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE LACK OF INTERNET SAFETY SOMETIMES #guys. besties. fellow countrymen and romans etc. please be safe online! #and ESPECIALLY dont put extremely personal information in your bio where everyone can see it! #like pronouns and nickname? cool! fandoms? cool! online work? cool! #real name? location? age/birthday? NOT COOL. #sigh anyways. here comes my first Worried Adult Rant of adulthood

I saw a crystal post that was a bit long for me to reblog but I wanna put out a shorter psa in case people don’t know. (I hope we all already do?)

Don’t put selenite in your body! And really… don’t put any crystal in your body or water without knowing if it can first ❤️

does it make anyone else absolutely crazy insane that like. you and every single person you talk to or interact with in the world is a product of being cared for. regardless of what happened later someone had to feed you and hold you and keep you warm and safe for you to even be wherever you are. regardless of who it was... someone cared enough to come to you when you cried and to pick you up and talk to you and put you down to sleep safely as a baby.... we're all products of care!!! we don't get anywhere alone!!!!

#i think i've maybe definitely said this before but i'm thinking about it again reading about this like absolutely insane abuse case #and thinking about how like 85% of your brain develops in the first five years of life and all the stuff we do on a technical level like #talking and motor skills and even things like. nodding or whatever. are all learned and formed in that foundational period #but so is like. our sense of communication and safety and the way we react to affection and humor #like. babies cry because they know someone will come if they do. but if no one responds they stop crying #yknow? #teddyposting
