Honestly Rayla is equally 100% ride or die for Callum too.
That's so true I almost mentioned it in that post. They're so ridiculously feral for each other it's hilarious to watch. Callum's the legitimate "we ride AND die together" whereas Rayla is the "I will ride and die FOR you" sort of deal yknow?
Could be literally any situation, no matter how dangerous, and she's already decided she will die here. Does it ensure Callum lives? Then batter-up buckeroo we're going in swords blazing! Everyone cheer and clap for her human or she'll blow this whole place up. Kinda person who says "even if you hate me I'd still lose everything if it meant you were okay". She thinks they're in a tragic love story where she's always at risk of losing him but that's okay as long as it keeps him safe and happy like y'know Viren parallels, she'd risk losing her very self for him over and over. Except Callum would wait until the end of the world itself, and even beyond, and she wouldn't even have to ask.
The difference between them, really, is that Rayla will die for Callum on any given day. Callum will kill for Rayla on any given day. Something something matching sets

Your post about misogynistic/patriarchal women really resonated with me and I empathize SO much girl I would be rich if I had a dollar for every single time i’ve seen a woman say some variant or another of “women are WAY worse than men!!!!” and wholeheartedly mean it. It ESPECIALLY makes me feel like the Joker when I see women who by all means carry themselves as feminist/progressive say shit like “misogynistic women are way worse than misogynistic men!!!” or some other misogynistic gaslighty bullshit that came straight from the ancient misogyny playbook.
I wish there was more of us having the space and drive to criticize our own sex class’ actions in a fair and just way without carrying the guilt of how our sex class is treated & without also following the subconscious path of least resistance (woman bad, man good). I wish there were more outlets for us to just be so fucking for real with each other, but in the way of respect, maturity, empathy, dignity, and accountability. I wish we all had more self awareness about the patterns we perpetuate.
It sucks when you not only have to cope with 50% of the population automatically hating you because of the morally neutral biological sex you happened to develop as in the womb, but you also have to deal with the members of your OWN sex perpetuating the cycles of subjugation and working against their own interests on top of that because of how deeply the knife of misogyny is plunged into our stomachs. As an individual girl/woman in the world, you have to incessantly deal with and mentally prepare for the indiscriminate bombardment of misogyny that is almost guaranteed to sneak up on you from every single direction possible. Feeling like you have close to no true allies, or only very few of them on a global scale. It’s a brutal, harrowing feeling.
It definitely gave me more insight into how the human mind copes with pain and injustice in bizarre and miserable ways, I guess. Newlyy I am ripping off the skin of my face thinking about this, it truly is suffocating. The patterns, the cycles, the history repeating itself!!!! I see you and I get it
exactly. you're completely right. no notes.

What do you think about fics that cater to a specific physique? I wanted to read them (their premise sounds great!) but couldn’t bring myself to because I don’t fit the description of the physical attributes
in terms of what you should do if you think you can’t consume that content, here’s my advice:
i think that’s fine to consume that content if you don’t fit the description in most cases. like for example, if you’re skinny but the fic is catered towards plus size readers, go ahead! the general consensus is that anyone can enjoy those fics at the end of the day.
when it comes to fics that are more catered to black/poc readers, i’ve heard that some authors prefer for white/non-poc to not interact with that content, which is completely understandable! in other cases, i’ve heard that any and all interact is good because it helps spread their work and also reach more black/poc readers!
so what i would do in that case is ask the author what they prefer :)
now if you’re asking in regards to feeling like you can’t enjoy them because you don’t fit their description, do you mean like the description is catered towards black or fat people? or is it catered to skinny and white 😭 my answer depends on the case bc if it’s the first thing, then i would just read the many other fics that aren’t written with black descriptors in mind. if it’s the second, then i’m really really sorry you can’t read those things :( i do try my best to make sure my works are inclusive and can encompass all skin colors, hair types, body types, etc etc. also, if you go to my tag “#glossysrecs 🎀”, those fic recs should all be inclusive <3
also, if any black writers/readers see this and feel like giving their opinion, pls feel free!!! it’s much appreciated!!!
sending you love <3

if ur still taking drawing reqs, i would love to see more of lof/cataclysm again c:
((Here's my headcanon for his story:
There's a prophecy from long long ago that states that the world will be burned by FS. Abon the discovering of said prophecy, people started lashing out at FS, cursing him, calling him stuff along the lines of demon and monster. They wanted him gone because obviously they didn't want the world destroyed.
FS was absoutely horrifed about the entire thing. Despite his nature, he really did have an appreciation for life and everything with it. He would never want to burn the whole world. But he of all people, knew how much fire desires to burn. It doesn't matter what, fire will always burn. It does not listen to others and you can only be careful around it to not get hurt. So FS agreed to be put under a spell that wouldn't kill him, but send him to a internal sleep.
So there he slept, under the rocks of Dragon's Valley. And life continued for many many generations.
However, as the years continued, people became more evil hearted. Fighting and corruption only continued to grow and grow. Not only were people's relationships at ruin, so too soon was the Earth. Eventually, long after FS and the prochey were forgotten, the energy the chaos had created started breaking the spell of peace placed on FS. Then one fateful day, the spell broke and FS was awakened.
All FS knew and felt was the evil around him. All he could feel inside was the desire to burn everything. Nothing good remained, so why not just burn everything in sight? It was time for him to fulfill his prophecy. Burn the world so that nothing remains. Not a hint of what once was the evil world. Then. finally, peace may return and life can start anew.
Despite his accepetance of his role, a part of the old FS and his appericaition for life and knowledge that evil can become good still lives on. And he feels just a little hestience and guilt. A part of him wishes to be stopped, but he knows the ever growing chaos and hatred only fuels his power. So he continues to mindlessly burn until he dies, or the world.
If he does succeed, well, there'll be nothing left to fuel him. He can either aimlessly wonder the ash, or, let himself become one with it. Either by simply waiting for his fire to die, or going to a cold place to speed up the process. Whater he chooses. He is free in the world of ash he created. He probably becomes Lord of Ash while life begins to slowly grow again. Once the world and it's people become peaceful again, who knows if he tries to return to normal.
