i swear this is my last post on this but even if i agreed with the idea that kevin is a coward - obviously i don't - but even if i did, i'd still be annoyed at how it reduces and ignores everything else we know about him.
he is a nervous wreck and an insufferable bitch and a scathing diva and has a drinking problem
he is also beautiful and brilliant and talented and unparalleled and determined and loyal and he has unwavering faith in the people who are worth his attention
those are just a few notable traits. kevin day is a nuanced character so it's time we start treating him accordingly
#my posts#my aftg posts#aftg#my rambles#my rants#kevin day#all for the game#the foxhole court#i have tolerated kevin slander for 10 years and i have reached my limit#i just. i just love him so much. and i want everyone to see how great he is#anyway no more posts about this i am banning the word from my and everyone else's vocabulary

⚠ CAUTION ⚠-DON'T USE MINA SUBLIMINAL‼️+ EXPOSING MINA AND OLIVIA
Its my first and last post...i made it cause i just want to warn u all
Ignore errors cause english is not my first language
Stop following anyone blindly
I am not that anon but i think she got some mind bjt she wasted in proving this much
I m not going to type so much cause i m super lazzzzy i am just going to attach some pics if u have mind u will get it i am not going explain everything cause i am not your slave...anyways lets start
I am not going to use word Proof cuz Olivia had already used it so much 🤣🤣.... lets go with confirmations .....
Conformations
1. The profile pic of Olivia account that she claims is of mina *they are same person*
ORIGINAL PIC... DON'T ASK ME HOW I GET IT I M JUST LUCKY 🍀
Its from a girl name @melikesaygin11 on insta
Some of the post of her focus on the face and tatoo in pic 1
I will show u magic... Ready... hope u r not blind
2. As long as i remember Olivia said that she have some million followers on insta i found her account on friday 16 she have less then 50 followers but she deleted her account now but luckily i have taken screen shot of her all post (she claims that she posted her pic) and in the proof provided by her she have posted 88 topics letsssss seeeee......... Wait and watch
The 1st pic in the set is presented by her as proof but she hides her face
These are the major proofs but if u want more i am guiding u..
He mercedes google lens the all the pic u will find that the car is own by girl name laporscha... maybe some spelling is wrong
All her post she claims with mina just focus on the locket and go to the saygin account u will find it

The question arises why i m doing this...
I am sanatani and its my dharma to guide everyone but to be honest i am least interested to warn u all as the someone has said that“Never wrestle with a pig because you'll both get dirty and the pig likes it." Positive energy is much more powerful than negative energy. If you stay positive, the negativity can't touch you...
SOME PEOPLE BE LIKE - WHT TO DO NOW?
Just little bit motivation for u all listen VOID is real and i m guarantee this because my religion is oldest and in vedas and upanishads they claims that one who attain shunyata or zero state aka void can manipulate the reality....***Even one of the holy book which is known as SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD-GITA it have divine knowledge given by lord KRISHNA who is the supreme power or almighty himself. If you will read it with perspective of void you will get the hidden message in few lines (***this is not proved cuz its my ideology).
U just have to let go everything
U dont have to listen subliminal or anything else just let go
Just in case If you are reading this i will think my energy is invested in a good place and my hour is not wasted..
Peace out..🕉️
@unicornjoking1111 @luckykiwiii101 dont be sad focus on ur self..

hello, sirenc0re! i come here to ask if you have any RTC character headcanons that you wouldn't mind divulging?
ohhh i have a few! these are somewhat disorganized, i dont think ive really shared these outside of a single reddit comment. anyways:
penny loves boybands ofc (backstreet boys, nsync, obviously 'seven up' before it split) but further than that i think she likes 60s-70s pop too- fleetwood mac, kate bush, the beatles, etc
ezra is the one that's genuinely really into gangsta rap. NWA, tupac, snoop, dr dre... and of course eminem (though he isnt really a gangsta rapper. it's adjacent) i think rap in general is something he likes. though he's like, a smartass. so i think that at least early on he would "like" it the same way he likes penny's boybands (something to mock as the pinnacle of empty and vapid commercialism) before he actually starts appreciating it as art (JK-47 notwithstanding) and not something he has to prove against. so im saying he would genuinely like tribe called quest. it's in my mind. i am manifesting it. as a side note, i jokingly wanted to be like AND HE LISTENS TO MACKLEMOREEEE but im a hard ass and in the timeline that exists in my head it's 2009. and in 2009 mackle had the penis song as the first track of his debut album. make of that what you will
ocean's whole straight-lace schtick is her twisted version of a teenage rebellion against her hippy parents. she also makes herself seem better off than she actually is. im of the firm belief that pretty much everyone in uranium (except perhaps constance's parents and misha's adoptives) is broke. and i think that with her parents lifestyle, ocean would be on the lower end of that spectrum and it's a big insecurity of hers that she tries very hard to project against to varying degrees of success
noel says he was saving up to go to france, but if you looked at his bank account there would be maybe 200~ saved there. most of his wages went to supporting himself and his single mother
post-cyclone au, i think ocean would shift away from politics and become a personal injury attorney
post-cyclone au, ricky becomes a sci-fi erotica author… i like to think he's extremely successful in that particular niche
post-cyclone au, ocean and noel's relationship becomes wayyy less hostile. they still 'fight' but all the venom has been sucked out of their words. one time he tripped her in the hallway inbetween class periods, which prompted her to halfheartedly kick his ankles, which leads to a 'fight' that gets her in trouble in school for the first time in an actual decade (she's pissed)
post-cyclone au, constance's epiphany about life being beautiful makes her a lot more bold. which is to say she now has the confidence to go on a million little sidequests for no other reason than to experience the bounties of existence. penny wants to go to a concert 3 hours away but she's still banned from the bus? constance knows how to drive and the unlimited trust of her parents, hop in
very much inspired by ray winter's take on misha when he was answering asks about it so i've absorbed it because it makes sense: misha was a class clown back home and pretty well-liked. he's such a solid and passionate dude, and way more kind than he's allowed to be because everything in canada seems to hate him. i believe that his 'attitude' problem mostly stems from loneliness, (which is kinda exerted on him but also enforced by him after a certain point since i think he retracts himself into his phone with talia rather than be in the real world where he is miserable) and that he would have done so much better if he had one genuine friend he could talk to. in a post-cyclone au, he gets a bunch of those, and no longer feels like all of those emotions are being stiffled or bottled up
those are all the HCs that are relevant i think ^_^
#ride the cyclone#rtc#i wanted to write down more ricky ones because i do have thoughts on him but its hard to really put them into words#because they're less headcanons and more just expansions on whats already there so like. kind of redundant#and i dont want to force myself to think of something. it will come to me in time. preferably in a vision#also just siren is fine!

Speaking of your previous(I think?) post about Infuriating Melodies…..*cutely kicks legs and giggles*
What is your characterization of Cole and the ninjas? I always love hearing others interpretations about it.
(っ˘ڡ˘ς)
oooo i am sitting down for this...
Let's start with Lloyd. First of all, can we just appreciate how they handled his character in Dragons Rising? We're getting to look at the very real effects of all the shit the poor guy's been through... At first I got annoyed tbh, I thought he was being too passive. However, it's pretty dumb of me to saythat because now i realise how used i am to protagonists who can solve a problem with little to no difficulty at all.
But onto more lighthearted stuff, he strikes me as...bitchless.
For lack of better word, i mean. tbh i skipped lots of crystallized bc i just dont like harumi as a character very much (i am not accepting feedback <3) so my opinion isn't the most reliable. I mean he has severe daddy and mommy issues so can you blame the guy. i bet he's the type of guy who wouldn't know you're flirting with him unless you straight up say it. he does however have rizz (thanks to everyone else in his team lmao but there are the cringey moments. trust.)
he's very organised and has learnt to put up with a lot of stupid shit bc he's in a team full of dumbasses /aff. there're a few mementos he keeps in a drawer next to his bed and when he needs a reprieve he just goes to it and grabs one. it calms him down.
For Jay, he's kinda just like me. constantly frazzled, but in a pinch he can step up to the position needed. They're all leaders but they just do things in different ways. He's a chaotic mess but like, a chaotic mess with a checklist :) i bet he and nya have a bunch of lego flowers in their room (yes they share a room or they sneak over to each other's room) he essentially reminds me of a mixture of dewey and huey from Ducktales (2017 reboot) (aka one of the the best shows in existence)
Zane to me is the undeniable anchor. he's got the absolute best roasts and i bet he's the main line of communication in terms of emailing, texting their allies and friends. if not for Zane who would regularly keep cyrus updated ? (besides pixal, i mean) he's an insane multitasker but if you spring a surprise on him he will buffer for a solid minute. his love language is def acts of service, and doesnt understand why some people feel bad for not reciprocating.
Kai is a mischievous little fire gremlin who is the de facto leader of the group if lloyd isnt there. he, jay, and cole are the enabler trio of the team, and their antics are enough to drive lloyd crazy. it's hard to believe he's the older one sometimes. i genuinel think he's just a big ball of vulnerable but he constantly pushes it aside to focus on other stuff. also, he has a surprising amount of mature moments with the group.
nya is smart, yes, but also the kind of person who thinks that if you cook stuff in an oven for an hour at 140 celcius, you can do the same thing by cooking it at 300 celcius for 5 minutes and achieve the same outcome. this has gotten her banned from the kitchen.
also she makes incredibly bad jokes sometimes. jay laughs regardless of whether theyre funny or not. i view her as someone who's got multiple degrees, but sucks at group work during projects
anyway thats all i have in mind for now, lmk if you'd like to hear me yap anymore lololol sorry for putting you through this anon <3

The Hearts of Gotham 5
Chapter 5 out of 7
Bruce makes the Justice League believe he has two hearts and is a manifestation of Gotham’s night to throw them off his secret identity, not trusting them. When the sound system breaks, he doesn’t come clean, but lies instead that he split into two to make Robin. From there it spirals as all the Robins make the lies grow and twist it in their own ways, until the truth comes out.
This fic is based on this post and inspired by Bouncing Baby Bat, or so the Justice League is led to believe... by EmpressGeek.
On AO3.
Ships: none
Warnings: none

Chapter 5: How Stephanie Used it to Fuck with Bruce
Steph wasn’t Robin for long enough to ever be introduced to the Justice League, something she takes great offense to. Tim had told her about it and she looked forward to it quite a bit, so she was disappointed when it never happened.
However, Steph has never been beneath causing problems for no reason to get what she wants. So, she is more than happy to temporarily take back her mantle so she can get to meet the Justice League anyway. Especially to prove her honor as a Robin.
Damian is already pretty far along in adjusting to his role as Robin and, while B might have banned him now, she knows that will change at some point. So she has to move before that happens if she wants to fuck with everyone.
B can’t complain though, she thinks, as a Robin she has a right to do this. Besides, it’s not like she’s going to blow their cover, in fact, she might strengthen in. B should be thanking her.
Thus, there is a pep in her step as she runs down the halls of the Watchtower for the first time, Tim in her ear telling her the route and her story planned out in her mind.
She enters a big room with a table, around which all the Justice League members are sitting. They all look up startled when she throws open the door, then turn to look at B, who is definitely sighing and fighting the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose.
“Father,” she shrieks shrilly. She has never claimed B as anything close to a father figure, however, for the sake of fucking with him, she is more than happy to. And by the way multiple people whip their heads in his direction, it works. “Something is wrong.”
“What is it?” B asks, he doesn’t sound too concerned, likely already knowing she’s here to mess with him. Though due to his gruffness and distance, it doesn’t appear the others notice.
“I don’t know, but Gotham called me to go to you. I think the darkness is growing,” Steph exclaims dramatically.
“Wait, wait, wait, hold up. Father? Like father-father? What happened to B?” Green Lantern interrupts and over her com Tim tells her that that his name is Hal Jordan.
“Didn’t father tell you, Hal?” she asks innocently, making her eyes go wide.
“How- how do you know my name?” Hal asks, scooting away from her slightly.
“I know a lot of things father knows, silly. I came from him,” Steph laughs. “He’s father, because I physically clawed my way out of his body to shape my own. What did you think splitting into two meant?”
And now she truly knows she’s been hanging out with Tim too much, because she’s referencing conversations she’s never been a part of. However, it is worth it to see both Hal and a few other nearby heroes pale at her words.
“Stop being rude,” Wonder Woman tells them and Steph has to stop herself before she pinches her leg, because holy shit Wonder Woman is standing up for her. Wonder Woman is coming her way. She is talking to Wonder Woman! She loves women superheroes.
Wonder Woman smiles at her and extends her hand for Steph to shake: “It is nice to meet you, Robin. I am Diana.”
“Robin, nice to meet you,” Steph shakes her hand.
“If I may be so bold, you are not like the other Robins I met,” Wonder Woman says and Steph knows that she is going to lord that over the others for the rest of her life. Jason will cry when she tells him.
However, she has a bit she’s committed to (and B will probably leave her to the mercy of Alfred if she fucks this up for him), so she simply curtsies and says: “I came to be under a super moon, when Gotham’s night was bright, not just lively.”
“That is a special thing,” Wonder Woman tells her kindly. “It’s good to have a fellow sword sister in you, Robin.”
“Thank you,” Steph smiles brightly, wanting to bond with Wonder Woman more, but she is here with a purpose. So, she frowns: “Though I fear I might not be for long.” She taps a few time, hoping Tim has caught his cue as she suddenly clutches her stomach and cries out.
“Are you alright?” Wonder Woman asks in concern, catching her as she stumbles and tries to stay in character and not focus on the strong arms.
“Father,” she whimpers, holding a shaking arm out to B.
Tim luckily did catch his cue, because Superman lets out an alarmed sound and says: “Your second hearts are going crazy.”
In the time it took Superman to say that, B has jumped over the table to get to her, likely not wanting to risk her being serious. It is also clear that he’s decided to yes-and it, because he gently tells her: “Robin, I’m here,” as he cradles her in her arms, taking her from Wonder Woman (a fact Steph doesn’t mourn in the slightest, what are you talking about?).
With a weak voice, she says: “I- I think- I think Gotham is-” a cough “-sending me home. We- we’re going to turn into one again, father.”
To others there, it might look like B is worried, but Steph recognizes his annoyed face anywhere. She regularly gets him to make it after all.
She writhes in pain again and pitifully whimpers: “Take me home, father? I- I don’t want anyone to see that. Oh, it hurts. It hurts!”
“Batman, is she okay?” Superman worries, hovering over B’s shoulder.
Steph almost risks sending B a shit eating grin at that, but decides against it. Instead, she coughs again, using some slight of hand to smear liquid latex on her cheek that she rests against B’s chest when she’s done.
B is just assuring Superman that she will be fine, when she lets out a shriek: “It’s already starting! Father, please.”
And indeed, when she pulls her cheek, it is now attached to B, slivers of skin apparently attached to him. Superman startles back and Steph lets out a pained moan.
At that point, B decides that removing her from the situation is the best course of action to prevent her doing more damage. So, he swiftly picks her up bridal style and says: “I must go. A new Robin is coming.”
Without waiting for a reaction, he stalks out of the room and to the Zeta-Beam. Steph continues to let out pained noises all the way, until they’re stepping into the Cave.
Once there, she rips her face from B’s chest and hops out of his arms. Grinning: “That was fun, we should do it again sometimes.”
“Was that really necessary?” B sighs, finally able to let that out and pinch the bridge of his nose.
“No, but it was fun,” Tim says, twirling away from the Batcomputer to grin at them, the cameras in the Watchtower still on the screen. “I mean look at this.”
He pushes a few buttons and one of the videos rewinds, showing B sweeping out of the room, followed by a moment of silence. Then Flash says: “Did- Did Batman just take off, because he’s going into labor? Is he entitled to maternal leave?”
“Don’t be stupid, Barry,” Hal says. “She called him father, it would be paternal leave.”
“Same difference,” Flash pouts, before Tim pauses the video again.
Steph snorts out a loud laugh. She couldn’t have imagined this going that well. She just hoped to cause enough chaos and a weird enough situation that B would have to uncomfortably explain himself next time, but this is gold.
“Why would you do this to me?” B asks her in a suffering voice.
She doesn’t care, she just replies: “You’re lucky I went with father for the creepy factor, I definitely contemplated using daddy, old man.”
Despite it all, B takes a few seconds to count his blessings, deciding to give up. “Thanks,” he settles on, before leaving the Cave.
Once he’s gone, Steph says: “You can get a feed up next B goes up there, right?”
“Oh, yeah, totally,” Tim grins back.
Indeed, next time B goes up to the Watchtower a few days later, her and Tim are crowded around the screen again, watching it unfold. Snickering when everyone seems to be sending B ‘subtle’ glances and being generally unsure of what to say to him.
Superman is the first one to dare, tentatively asking: “Are- are you okay, Batman?”
“I am,” B grunts, obviously wanting to avoid further conversation.
Naturally, Superman doesn’t pick up on that and carefully adds: “And… is Robin?”
“He’s fine,” B says curtly.
“He?” Wonder Woman asks, joining her two friends. “What happened to the Robin we met last time?”
B now realizes the position Steph has forced him in and actually uses more words to answer: “She is no longer Robin. She became one with me, left Robin behind and broke free again as Spoiler.”
“Spoiler?”
“Yes, Spoiler,” B says and Steph get the feeling she made a mistake. “She is all the toxic parts, the pollution in the night skies of Gotham, coming together into one part. We have a lot of companies dumping stuff, it was bound to happen,” B explains, sending a covert look to the nearest camera, knowing that they’re watching him.
“Oh that fucker!” Steph pouts as Tim laughs at her, the traitor.
Superman and Wonder Woman both send him a look, but the three are interrupted by Flash, who comes speeding up to them, asking: “That looked painful? Is it like giving birth or something?”
“Flash!” Superman catechizes.
Meanwhile, B flushes bright red (can’t be seen with the cowl, but Steph knows, she has been embarrassing him for a long time now). With a pinched expression, he grits out: “It’s a complex and very private affair.”
Flash’s apology is drowned out by Steph’s cheer as she triumphantly exclaims: “Ha! Who’s vengeance now, B!”
~~
A/N:
I realize that I may be projecting my crush on Wonder Woman, however, I will not apologize for it, bc I have great taste <3

You are the one who continues to act clownish and stupid
Everyone mentioned spreading awareness about Rhylie and reporting her page.
@rhyliecaterflygivessucess4prome
Just let me finish some of these things and later I will make you regret it a lot.
And when I finish you're going to be in really big trouble.
Soon your matter will be over after I finish some of some of my things

queerness in The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher
book description
when you’re an old woman armed with nothing but gumption and knitting needles, stopping a sorcerer from wiping out an entire dragon-fighting organization is a tall order. no one understands why 83-year-old Edna Fisher is the Chosen One, destined to save the Knights from a dragon-riding sorcerer bent on their destruction. after all, Edna has never handled a magical weapon, faced down a dragon, or cast a spell. and everyone knows the Council of Wizards always chooses a teenager—like the vengeful girl ready to snatch Edna’s destiny from under her nose.
still, Edna leaps at the chance to leave the nursing home. with a son long dead in the Knights’ service, she’s determined to save dragon-fighters like him & ensure other mothers don’t suffer the same loss she did. but as Edna learns about the abuse in the ranks & the sorcerer’s history, she questions if it’s really the sorcerer that needs stopping—or the Knights she’s trying to save.
find it here
okay let's talk about queerness in this book
did a thread on twitter in which I said "cishet" five hundred thousand times so will probably get banned lmao but anyway I wanted to share it here too
especially since it's late in Pride Month and I have yet to post anything anywhere about it BEING Pride Month and me being queer and my books being queer, bc I've been burnt out af. so what energy I've had has gone toward planning and writing
anyway
I say "queerness in" rather than "queer characters in" because I want to talk about queerness in the book more broadly, not least bc I'm a queer creator & this is a queer book, but I've had a lot of impostor syndrome about both those things.
I figured out I was queer later in life & am a woman-presenting person w/a male-presenting partner. I've questioned my gender & sexuality repeatedly & ID'd differently over time, which is why I like "queer." I don't have to re-explain myself a dozen times. I'm queer. that's that.
but having figured out my queerness later, and having a relationship that presents as cishet, it took a long time for me to overcome feelings of ~not being queer enough~ (and sometimes I still struggle with them).
similarly, my MC is an apparently* cishet woman, unlike the MCs of many books that appear on queer book lists at this time of year. just like I took a long time to start really engaging with my community bc I worried I wasn't ~queer enough,~ for a long time, I didn't call this a queer book bc I worried it wasn't ~queer enough~. if people asked if the book was queer, I'd reply with a laundry list of explicitly queer characters rather than saying yes
fuck that though lmao. this is a queer book. let me count the ways
1. found family
as found family is so important to many queer people - by connecting us to our community, by welcoming us when bio family casts us off - found family is central to REMARKABLE RETIREMENT. while there are queer romantic arcs, the found family is the most important relationship in the book.
2. queer labels
some characters get explicit labels. Benjamin is gay. Clem is ace. queer labels are important bc they give us the ability to describe our identities and experiences! however...
3. undefined queerness
while labels are important, queerness isn't about fitting into new boxes. it's about smashing the boxes apart.
even if characters don't have specific labels applied on-page, they're queer. they don't need to claim a specific label for that to be true.*
*caveat that some media avoids using labels to pander to queer audiences w/implied queerness without ~alienating~ cishets by stating "this character is Not Cishet"**
that's not what I mean
I mean e.g. in OFMD queerness is inherent even if WORDS like queer/ace/etc aren't used. OMitB is another example (specifically Mabel) and Good Omens is yet another.
**caveat to my caveat that some media is queer-coded & avoids queer labels rather than being explicitly queer because network execs or whoever won't allow explicit queerness.
this is not the fault of the creators. sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference.
but anyway.
in REMARKABLE RETIREMENT, several queer characters are queer without using specific labels.
in some cases this is bc it doesn't come up or isn't important to them to express in the moment. like Clem is bi, but she's not worried about being bi. she's worried about being ace, because she's still kind of questioning that about herself, and she's worried it might cause problems down the road if her crush is >:[ about her not wanting to have sex. so she uses the word "ace" to describe herself in this scene but not "bi," even though she's both.
in other cases it's bc they don't have the language. Kiernan's sense of attraction and desire is described in a way that seems graysexual or demisexual (or both), and Red's sense of desire is described in a way that seems ace-spec, but neither of them use those terms, because neither of them know those terms. despite the lack of terminology, many ace readers have identified multiple ace characters based on description or experience. the lack of a specific label doesn't make those characters less queer.
similarly, some characters have not yet had this realization about themselves. which leads us to...
4. questioning
okay, back to my first asterisk of the post.
Edna is by all appearances an old cishet woman.
for most of the story, that's how she seems. that's what SHE thinks, even. she's a cishet old grandma adopting every queer young person she can find.
BUT THEN
Clem explains aceness to her
and Edna has a brief crisis bc wait a minute this sounds like her??
ultimately, Edna has too much to worry about right now to spend time questioning whether, at the age of 83, she might be somewhere on the ace spectrum
so it doesn't come up again
but that moment of crisis is THERE, & that too is queer
5. queernormativity*
I write queernorm worlds, largely bc I viscerally hate coming out lmao
it doesn't mean everyone's a queer scholar
like Clem has to explain "ace" to Edna, bc Edna thinks blankly of a deck of cards & doesn't understand what that has to do with sex
but it DOES mean queer folks get to just be and do
*caveat that this is not remotely to imply that a story is less queer if its world ISN'T queernorm
it's just a way in which MY story is queer
6. all the queer characters
not gonna do a list (even though my original idea for Pride Month when I was young and optimistic and thought I'd have energy to do it way back when was a list of queer characters), but virtually every character in this book is queer in one way or another
on twitter this is where I ended because 6 seemed like a good number for Pride since June is the sixth month, but tumblr gets a bonus
7. the author is queer
happy pride, buy my queer book
#the remarkable retirement of edna fisher#e.m. anderson#e's writing#pride month#pride month books#queer book recs#book recs#fantasy books#indie author#2023 debuts#2023 books#queer is not a slur#adding that one simply bc I said 'queer' five hundred thousand times as well as cishet so just in case lol

A Teachable Moment
So I hopped into some freshly minted Discord server, maybe a month ago, and the norms of it still haven't settled into place. It's open to the public and focused on a game, so there's a bit of a mixed crowd, let's say, and prior to the incident I'm setting up the backstory for, there hasn't really been a test of their ability to moderate their damn public spaces.
Also when I say there's a mixed crowd I mean there's both a good number of trans women (because if you are making a deep game for a niche audience, we're gonna make up a shockingly high percentage of that audience every time), and a few right-wing extremists doing their best to "hide their power levels" (because if you create and promote literally any sort of social space, they WILL show up to test for whether local conditions are suitable enough to build a nest). In the early days of things they mostly kept their masks on aside from using the nazi frog as a reaction image to things (which IS something everyone should have a zero tolerance policy towards, but I feel like I need to know someone fairly well before I can explain that one), and their eyes lighting up when they see the server rules include "no politics" (a perfectly fine policy to have but you need to understand that if you post it you WILL have to constantly ban nazis who think you're using "politics" like they do- a euphemism for all the people they want dead).
Anyway, there's a few people on my radar here, but everyone's been civil enough, and it's a pretty relaxed vibe. Pretty quiet. Mostly just icebreaker talk. The most prolific poster is this one guy who saw there was a pet photo channel and just kinda sat down and made a point of posting several images a day to it, of a particularly uncommon sort of cute pet. Naturally this lead some people to ask some follow-up questions about whether these are his and how long he's had them, and this yielded the pretty damn weird in retrospect response that no, he has no pets at all, but would like one of these some day.
Now, this isn't at all the main thrust of this, and I wouldn't like, start keeping vigil for this as a sign of troublemakers, but a thing that undercover bigots do all the time as can be seen here is set up in a community and just kinda spam harmless generic platitudes and such to try and establish themselves as a known chill person. This goes double for anywhere that has a general public/trusted community members split. Never just go by "well he seems pretty chill" for giving people access to more private spaces, they can wait as long as they need, generally, as long as they don't have to improvise a normal person response to a situation where bigotry is in play.
Anyway, getting to the main event, a few days ago in this server, someone posted some cute little comic which... you know let me just find it.
Clever little subversion there. Got a polite chuckle out of the bulk of those paying attention, but seeing a nice wholesome bit of trans positivity incensed pet-poster guy, who immediately shouts "I've seen another version of that comic!" and posts a variation I am absolutely not going to share where the girl in the last panel is dead.
That is as clear cut of a do not pass go, do not collect $200, ban that piece of garbage permanently without a word and delete the post as soon as you can before anyone has to see that sort of hate directed at them offense in absolutely any community. Even moreso in this case as in the time it took a moderator to notice, this creep was going full mask off and responding to everyone's horrified reactions with grotesque anti-trans propaganda of a particularly hardcore "my other hangouts have openly posted swastikas" variety.
Here, people did delete the profoundly offensive comic, but then, to be blunt, otherwise handled this like a kindergarten teacher seeing a kid grab the blocks another kid was playing with and just nonchalantly explaining some basic manners. First off, nobody goes that hard on hate speech accidentally, and more importantly, showing a lack of willingness to dole out any real consequences for such an open act of hate has an emboldening effect. Sure enough the other sleeper agents present jumped up to try and push things farther, encouraging them to also remove the comic above, ban any mention of trans people, and jump the gun with prepared responses that don't work in context (you call everyone you don't like a nazi! Both sides are wrong! etc.).
I came pretty close to just quitting the server on response to that, but stuck it out a bit to double check if this wasn't just one particularly green mod trying to put the fire out before double checking if that's ban worthy when someone else was awake, or if I needed to explain the code-talk in the following conversation, or hell, if they just need more mods. I'm decidedly overqualified for that sort of thing.
Anyway, moderation policy handled that poorly... and to be clear, I'm not pinning that on any one person, basically everyone who ends up in a position of authority has a gut instinct to moderate as laxly as possible and needs some real training, reading, or tragic experience to learn how vital a firm swift hand is if you don't want people like this to show up and drive everyone else away. Especially not going to put this on the one green volunteer awake at 4 AM or whatever.
Still, the ball was dropped here, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how the rest of the community stepped up to hold their ground. Over the next couple of days, people just started casually dropping every cute trans positive thing they had handy in there, agreeing with each other that it was all nice and sweet. This both reestablished that chat as a relatively safe place to exist with a kind general vibe, and really got under the skin of these mask off nazis who started throwing tantrums. Apparently they just started privately messaging the mods to flag every single wholesome little image or comic as offensive to the point where people higher up the food chain came in, did some more serious reprimanding, and added an explicit policy against transphobia to their TOS... and threatened to ban these people if they pull this crap again.
Now, that increased firmness plus the community in general making it pretty damn clear they don't tolerate hate does seem to have scared the bigots into hiding (the one guy made this pathetic desperate effort to retake power by threatening to stop posting the animal pictures... that he's just pulling out of an image search, it was pretty funny), but... they're still there. The people they were threatening both broadly and as specific individuals still have to be careful not to share anything these scumbags can screencap and weaponize against them, and I'm sure at some time in the future when it's clear there's no mods awake they're going to pipe back up to do as much damage as they can in a blaze of glory if spying on all the queer people doesn't pay out for them, so while it is nice to see how just actively rejecting this sort of ideology can at least temporarily shut this crap down even without people in authority taking real action, I want to reiterate what responsibilities those in authority are neglecting here.
As a moderator of literally any sort of space, your basic duties are to keep things safe and to keep things civil. Those are two separate duties. Don't ever try and merge them together, and don't ever forget that safety must always take priority over civility.
If you see a situation where people are just getting randomly heated and angry over something inconsequential (happens a lot), yes, by all means, try to just deescalate things by stepping through just taking a stern tone, formal warnings, timeouts, 3 strike rules, temporary bans, etc. These are situations where we can hope that people who otherwise get along just let their emotions get out of hand and will hopefully shake hands and make up after having some time to cool off.
If on the other hand you see a situation where someone is threatening/antagonizing/intimidating someone else, especially in a case like this where the reason is transparently that the offender is a bigot who genuinely wishes harm or death on the target, there are no steps to escalate through. You remove the dangerous person from the community immediately, no exceptions, no warnings, no escalating response scale. That nazi posting crap about trans women in nooses, Jews in ovens, black people holding spears, women being raped etc. is not a friend having a rough day. There can be no reconcilliation no matter how much time you give. You just have a predator here to whittle your community down, and a vulnerable person who needs you to reassure them that they are safe in your community. The only option that should be on the table is the permanent zero appeals ban, and you should have no hesitation in deploying it.
Oh and here's the part where I remember that I am going to lose my home by the end of the year if I don't ask people to throw more money at me (this is a link). I hate doing this, but my other options for income went up in flames so completely I don't even know how to start to rebuild.

You are the one who should be on her knees asking for forgiveness.
Nobody here accepts your fake Apology and excuses.
Enough means enough

Hi! Blood banker here, saw your reply on a post about blood donation. If you're in the US, we finally got the FDA to update their discriminatory restrictions last summer, so most donation centers, including the ARC, now only ask EVERYONE regardless of sex/gender if they've had anal sex with a NEW partner in the last 3 months (because that's the window where our transmissible disease testing is less reliable).
First of all, it's cool that You are a Blood Banker and i have Respect for People like You(even if this is my first Time encountering the Job Description Blood Banker). Keep up the good Work 👍.
i live in germany. In the past Gay Men and Trans People* were forbidden from Donating Blood for having a higher Chance of an HIV Infection. It didn't matter if they never had Sex or only once 20 Years ago.
*(pretty much everything i read for this equated Trans Women with Gay Men and which sucks)
That only changed in 2017 when the German Government legalized it for them. However Gay Men were only allowed in if they didn't have Sex for ONE YEAR. even if it wasn't with a new Partner. [1]
Then in 2021 the guideline(not the Law) was changed to soften these Restrictions. Now it's only 4 Months. But weirdly enough straight People who had sex with more than two partners in the last 4 Months were equated with Gay men who had one new Partner in the last 4 Months.[2] i don't even get this.
And now finally in 2023 The Guideline got changed one last time to remove all Discriminatory Language from the Questionaire(thank fuck). And it is purely based on the Number of Sexual Partners. [3]
(by the way i only found out about this because i researched it because of your Ask. i had seen some other People on Queer Internet Forums still talk like the Guidelines from 2017 were still in Effect, i think not everyone got the Memo.)
I still think there are some Problems in there. for instance Anal Sex is highlighted as a higher Risk than non Anal, which i think is a way to talk about Gay People without talking about Gay People. And 2 or more Sexual Partners is disclosed as an inherent Risk Factor, which i think discriminates against Poly People. Imagine a Closed Polycule which has been stable for the last 3 Years and nobody slept outside of that. None of them would be allowed to donate Blood.
Now that i talked about the HIV Part, lets look at something specific to Trans People: HRT.
I looked at some Accounts from Trans People on the r/Germantrans subreddit, some of them say they were blocked from donating Blood due to HRT, some say only Androgen Blockers aren't allowed, some say that it didn't matter.
i found an Article from the german Red Cross explaining that they don't like to give out an entire List of Medications that would disqualify someone from donating Blood, since the "Problem isn't the Medication but the underlying Illness." [4] And i couldn't find a list from the german Red Cross.
Anyway, here's a List from the austrian Red Cross [5] i am gonna assume that the german Red Cross shares the List, because there usually aren't that many Differences between germany and austria. But i could be wrong here.
According to that list, Hormones are fine (unless you are taking anabolic T). Anti-Androgens like Cyproteron disqualify someone from donating Blood, this is because it is used to treat Prostate Cancer Patients, and Cancer Patients can't donate Blood. This is stupid. Like this isn't even in the "it depends on the underlying illness" Category, this is a Strict "NO".
For me personally... i found out during Research that i am banned from donating for the next 3 Months because i recently got a Piercing. And if my Weight falls below 50kg again, i won't be able to donate either. So maybe i'll donate Blood when i'm able. but i should probably call them beforehand to clarify the Medication Situation.
I hope You didn't mind me writing a 600 Word Post about the History of Blood donation for Queer People in Germany.
Sadly all of my Sources are in German so they won't be accssible to non-german Speakers.
If anyone has any more Information or Corrections, please provide them, i am eager to learn more or find out what i missed or got wrong.

Hey, so what I’m not going to do is be posting messages on here about why XYZ creator is problematic. Especially when I know for a fact that the entire team working on XYZ project have been doxxed and harassed. I absolutely am refusing to add to it.
If you don’t like XYZ or ABC that I post about, you are more than welcome to unfollow. But assume that I do have eyes and ears and am far too aware of exactly what people do behind the scenes. Unless XYZ creators are inciting violence and/or cruelty towards a minority, I cannot in good conscience sic mindless classless cancel culture minions to harass them. Not that that tactic even works. But that’s a whole other topic.
Unfortunately, putting up socially relevant materials about anything these days will incite violence by people who think that they are on a pedestal for being “morally more correct” than the people they are attempting to destroy. And I simply do not want any part of contributing to that mentality. And since the influx of twitter users coming back to tumblr, the toxic fandom mentality has risen back to what it was before those same people left tumblr during the mass adult content ban.
If this was back in 2013 I might have posted the message that caused this PSA, but alas, I’m not a middle schooler anymore. And I’m far too old to placate and/or prove how woke I am to anons.
The anon was polite in wording which is the only reason I thought about responding to it. However, as the rules state: internet etiquette. “curate your own experience.” I curate my internet experience to be mostly Ao3 centered. I do not center my internet experience around lambasting creators for every single one of their flaws. That sounds absolutely exhausting and I have such a low tolerance for seeing just how ugly this world is. There’s some creators you can’t avoid how nasty they are, because they scream it from the rooftops, so the best you can do is report them or block them.
Being socially conscious in this world means realizing that not a single person in this world does everything correctly. Not a single person is good. Not a single person is evil. Not a single person is worth supporting or believing in. Not a single person is worth wasting time on. Everyone is bad. And not one person can be redeemed without having everything they’ve ever done wrong being thrown back into their face. Everything is owned by a corporation. Corporations keep people in poverty whether it be their workers, their consumers, or the people they exploit to get materials from.
You will never see me saying that a creator of anything is good or should be supported. Because I cannot. Because I will always be wrong if I do. That’s the bleak reality. And that’s why the toxic nature of the internet and its ideas on morality make being alive in this time such a pain in the ass.
While everyone in this world is flawed and immoral, you have to stop finding the things to hate in everyone. You will always find things that people have done wrong. That they shouldn’t have done. That are not okay. And if all you can see is the worst things people have done, you will never see the good things.
And sure. There are some people who do things that are so far beyond wrong that they cannot be looked at without that standing out as the most important thing about them. Their failures as a human outweigh any good that has or could ever come from them. But often times, the world just isn’t that black and white. If you ignore the shades of grey, you will never see what color you really are. You will become exactly the evil that you believed you were stopping.
Anyways I don’t know if that all makes sense. But I’m just so tired of people. The more energy you spend on things like this, the less you have to fight actual oppressors. The focus should be on taking down the infrastructure. And you need the shades of grey to be on the correct side in order to battle true evil.
Being kind and compassionate and aware of people is important. Reflecting on yourself and trying to be a better person than you were yesterday is important. And everyone should be doing that. But the fact is, not everyone will. And they are far less likely to when they know that the only thing they will ever be seen for is each of their missteps. That if they make any new mistakes, it will all be linked back to their previous ones.
And idk about the rest of you, but I just don’t have the mentality to keep a mental list of just how good or bad each and every person on this planet is. I’m just here to make two or three or four or more characters kiss each other, because I’m a romantic. And sometimes making a few dudes kiss is just enough to pretend the real world doesn’t exist. That everyone, I’m trapped on this earth with, aren’t horrible in one way or another.

A post by Walks-the-Ages, that was just removed by iNaturalist staff from the thread about their failure to moderate bigotry for "being inapporpiate"
The two posts purposefully misgendering me, on the other hand, are still up, and the restrictions the staff have put on the thread to punish the trans and ally users for speaking up is now literally preventing the person who misgendered me from editing her posts to fix them.
Check my pinned post for more information on the situation, and ways you can help out!
= = =
[quote="astra_the_dragon, post:71, topic:42122"]
I agree with yalls core ideals, but as an individual I believe that it is impossible to force someone to change. you can explain, you can beg, you can scream, but you cannot forcibly make anyone have a belief or do something… short of actual force.
[/quote]
***And once again. I have to reinterate what Nonbinary-Naturalist cannot, because it was banned for the mods for refusing to back down when it was the target of transphobia:***
** Literally no one here is expecting you to hold Sedgequeen hostage and force her to use the right pronouns for someone who's already told her its pronouns and why its important to it to not be misgendered.**
This is not about changing someones mind about being transphobic.
this is about Staff's week long, drawn-out refusal to remove 2 single transphobic posts from the LGBTQIA thread , while removing dozens of other posts for far less egregious violations of TOS
At this point, I have allready been directing queer and ally Inaturalist users to these two threads so they can see for themselves Staff's reaction in real time, and they are all equally horrified.
Few people are willing to put themselves at risk by responding, since staff have shown from day one of this staff-made debacle that they are not on the side of marginalized groups.
So yeah. It's June first. It's Pride Month, I am joining if not starting a boycott of Inaturalist for Pride Month, either for the duration, or until Nonbinary-Naturalist is unbanned, a formal apology is made, paid staff undergo actual training for LGBTQIA issuers, and the 2 posts are removed which is what the original request was no matter how much you want to try to twist it into something outrageous and malicious.
I've already been spreading the word to queer and ally users about exactly what's gone down here, and plenty have already seen for themselves .
~~~~~~~~~~~~
So anyways, for anyone who's unaware, Nonbinary-Naturalist was officially banned by staff for a full week for refusing to back down on the simple fact that staff need to remove the 2 posts from this thread.
@Sedgequeen I see that you are typing. Please remove your posts from this thread, for the -- oh and live i see that because of slow mode you can't even do that for the technicalities. Thank you for trying!
If you would to see and practice with neopronouns, as well as understand Nonbinary-Naturalist's
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[quote="astra_the_dragon, post:66, topic:42122"]
fascists won’t differentiate between a transmisc lesbian and an it/its person who insists everyone must be perfect all the time.
[/quote]
Astra, it really is amazing how you are twisting literally every single thing that Nonbinary-Naturalsit has said now that it cant be here to defend itself. This is absolutely foul behavior, and I really hope you think deeply about what exactly you're doing here. No one is expectiong "everyone to be perfect all the time" and the fact you've all removed its posts so you (general you) can twists its words this way is extremely telling.
You (staff) were asked to remove 2 transphobic posts, and for whatever reason, you (astra) have decided that this is a personal attack on yourself as an unpaid trans moderator and I really, really think you need to step back from this because you are being exactly the thing you are apparently fighting against, saying that standing up for yourself is the same as being an aggressive attacker, saying that calling someone a transphobe for being blatantly transphobic in the queer-dedicated thread is "name calling", etc etc.
[quote="astra_the_dragon, post:71, topic:42122"]
the mod team here are not DeSantis’s little cronies come to take you to jail
[/quote]
And yet, once again alll the posts are being removed except for the 2 requested by multiple queer users,
and **you haven't even made it public that you banned Nonbinary-Naturalist from the forums yet**, and instead you're acting like nothing's been done so people will assume the lack of response from nonbinary-naturalist is that it has given up and this can all be swept under the rug.
I await this post getting removed for "inapproriateness"
Removing Nonbinary-Naturalists' posts so you can lie about what it said and paint it as an unreasonable perfectionist is very telling.

Warning: Text wall incoming! Prepare your bottom!
While I do still have notifications turned off, I admit I did look today after not even trying to look in about two or three days, where I saw the first few words of your post. I was a bit apprehensive in clicking on your post, but I took a gamble.
I did mention a message that a Homestuck Facebook group led me to the MXRP Tumblr, and then to that Discord server. So when people were assuming I knew this or that about, or mocking me for not knowing all about it, it was strange.
The mixed race thing is I am Puerto Rican-Black, like Miles Morales. Heh. I could have kept going with that, but I quickly realized it was going nowhere fast.
LGBTQ+ stuff: What's funny with people bringing up my age is they don't realize I was a teen, and then an adult, protesting and marching and raising awareness during the times when those marches didn't often end without a hitch, let alone peacefully. When it was illegal to get married in the US. When it was very legal to outright fire LGBTQ+ people if they were accused or found out about being LGBTQ+. I think maybe a very old message on my blog talked about what sexuality I am, but I rarely bring it up because of old reservations about that and I like seeing what people assume about me. Kind of applies to the race topic as well.
And I am dogshit with text interactions, especially while upset. But if you were there in the VC, I got a little snippy at the race discussion, and then passionate about the LGBTQ+ topic, but everything else seemed calm throughout, with MMOs being the ending topic. I really wasn't expecting both the accusation and the ban. So I got emotional about such a serious accusation. Which I guess is "only my opinion" from the other replies. Then this fornication cluster went on.
I did fuck up on many things. I even brought up in one post that the things I did say could've been looked at as queerphobia. While I would have still been upset about an accusation, thinking it over would have made me slap myself with how bad I phrased it all, and apologized with hopefully clarifying everything I said.
But this is still over and done with on my side. If other people want to keep arguing about it, it's out of my sight and out of my mind.
I don't know how to do TL;DR things. I suck at synopsizing stories. Uh... something TED Talk.
I hope you don't mind me answering this publically, but I will keep it out of the tags. If you want me to delete this let me know.
I think it's unreasonable to ask you to be perfect, tbh. I don't expect it, and I don't think that launching a witch hunt is the appropriate response to something like this anyway. You misspoke on a few things (Not everything tbh as said in the original post I made I don't think all of your points were incorrect and even the ones I disagreed with I could understand the reasoning.) I've misspoken before. Everyone has misspoken before. The problem with "fandom activists" like the sort of people found on this site is that they care less about making the world and their spaces a better place for everyone, and more about feeling right by lauding "justice" at people they think are wrong.
Thanks for sharing some of those things about your experiences and life. I hope that this will blow over soon. Have a good one.

sorry, im really not sure i buy all this.
but yeah, i did get a lot of things wrong here. some that i cleared up in other reblogs, but the version you reblogged was the one that got the most popular unfortunately. i wish people would reblog the other version more.
first off i want to say, this was never intended to be a massive informational post. this was originally random venting i did while half asleep, not even tagged if i remember right. my blog’s not exactly popular, i never expected it to be this big. ive managed to clear some things up in the comments and reblogs tho.
my use of the word ‘basically’ was pretty poor here, i never intended to imply it had already been passed, just that it was very likely to be passed and everybody besides the greens is on board with it. it is very likely to pass. but no, it has not passed. only more reason to get angry about it in my opinion, means there’s time.
secondly, yes, the method has not been fully decided on yet, that was included in the article i limked, and i hope it wouldnt be giving companies your id, but that’s a very real possibility, and the other methods ive seen i just dont feel would hold up well. id has been the main method that’s been talked about here, im not super comforted by ‘but they could use this other thing’. and i couldnt see corporations giving up the chance to collect more personal data unless they had good reason not to, and everything ive seen on it says the burden will be on the corporations. so unless that info’s wrong, that sounds like something to panic about. but yes, it does feel wrong to be making it out as if it could only been that, i shouldve mentioned that in the original post.
look, i like you doing all this, these are some good resources, my original post was a half asleep vent, it was bound to have inaccuracies or misinformation, and im sorry about that, i really am.
but where i really stop following you is when you say this proposal has no teeth.
especially because ive felt the exact same way for a while, and even in my original post, i knew it had ‘no teeth’ in a way, but i didnt say anything on it because i didnt see it as important enough. yes, i shouldve still mentioned it anyway, that there will be ways to get around it. but i didnt mention it bc it’s still dangerous.
there would be no penalties for users who managed to access social media without going through the check, i know, i was never expecting that, only someone who has little idea on how the internet works would expect that. even if the burden werent on the platforms, nobody’s going to take notice of a single under 16 year old slipping into social media. if they managed to do that id be wondering why im not locked up for pirating all the shit i have.
no, anybody tech savvy enough could find ways around this law, if not a vpn then something else.
i was never afraid of the law because i truly thought id have to hand over my id to social media or stop using it. that’s not the fucking problem. the fear i have for myself is the inconvenience of having to setup a vpn just to browse tumblr, but not everyone is tech savvy enough to find ways around these laws, most people arent, most social media users would probably just end up giving up their id or stop using it. and that could be a fucking problem. maybe a cybersecurity nightmare, but also just blatantly allowing and normalising more absurd data collection, more privacy invasion. even without all that, the bandaid solution of locking children out of social media instead of tackling the actual problem infuriates me.
and the biggest thing im worried about is the precedent. this law is fucking absurd, even if it can be broken without punishment. weilding kids’ safety as a weapon, banning an entire group of people from one of the largest ways of communicating today, allowing companies to force id collection if they so wish, even if they all go a different way those other ways dont sound very good either. a law like being considered and especially passing isnt a good sign for the future.
the best i can hope for besides the law not passing at all is that the companies will fail to enforce it so badly that it causes something awful, like, idk, the system being unsustainable somehow, some massive data breach. which no, wouldnt be a good thing, but itd hopefully set the precedent not to try anymore laws like this, instead of being a precedent to keep going.
look, pull me up on my mistakes all you like. other people have done what youve done here and i appreciate it, actually. i never expected this to get as big as it did, i made mistakes here.
but dont bloody well tell me this law isnt worth anybody’s attention and we should all just ignore it and ‘not get side tracked’. i think i have every right to be worried about this, and your reasoning for why i shouldnt be worried was just telling me things i already knew.
course this law is still a fuckin problem, a small portion of the population knowing how to bypass it and not get punished doesnt change anything.
and look, im genuinely sorry about this but im not gonna be replying to whatever response you’ve already been planning out as you read this, im probably not even gonna see it considering the amount of notifications i get every minute. correct me if i got any objective information wrong, but im bloody tired of all this, ive been hearing so much depressing shit these past couple weeks about the goings on of this miserable fucking planet and it’s making me miserable. and being told information i already know about some stupid law i vented about one night doesnt really make me feel much better about it, this law still looks depressing to me, it all does. i dont want a debate even if this is worded like the beginning of one, i only replied because i cant help myself sometimes and i probably shouldnt have been looking at my notifications seeing how bad i already feel.
fucking australia’s trying to get everyone to link their government id to their social media accounts else you cant use them anymore, the actual fuck is wrong with this country

oh boy, here we go again With this person
And this was her response
Or how about keeping my blog and stopping your expose rants? anyways you'll never getting away with this
Again you play the victim you are really stupid
((Seriously, you're exposing me in a bad way again.))
Again, you are imitating my words in a childish way.
((As I told you before as I'm backfiring you since you are a liar, my actions are forgivable, acceptable And always been forgotten))
Hell, would anyone forgive a stalker like you?
Do you say sending inappropriate and sexual pictures to someone you hate is acceptable because you were harassing them?
Harassment and attacks on others, is this acceptable?🤦♀️💀
((Again, you are a worst and most hated person ever who loves exposing, insulting and forcing me to leave tumblr, this is why nobody but everybody supports me the most))
That's all In your imagination and dreams And lie
You will be banned for your actions and all your stupidity.
I think the only way to get rid of your delusions is to get banned from here.
((I'm always afraid of you, your threats, your insults, your filth, and your dirty expose rants that always disgusted me.))
My posts are not dirty, you are
I just spread the facts while you spread crocodile tears and lies like a big crying baby.
((you are true disgusting person from your dirty expose rants about me. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮))
I am a cleaner and my job is to clean up the filth of people like you and dispose of it in the trash
((I always wake up))
Someone has to give you a reality check.
You are sleeping deeply in your imagination and delusions
If you were really are wake up, you would have deleted your blog now.
(((So do us a favor and stop telling me delete my blog soon And spreading awareness about me now.)))
I will stop when you delete your blog.
((nobody but you will be banned from here soon 9mysterybook6))
I think this will never happen to me but to you it will happen soon
((Who's more sound like Lila Rossi now?!,))
The answer is clear, it's you
Have you looked at your actions and behavior?
You are acting like Lila now
Just get out of here
((Spreading awareness about me is cancelled, cause of you doing a dirty expose rants' disgusted me.))
This is just in your imagination and not reality
((You're Apology will be denied since you have lied to everybody, because of your jealousy, manipulative, pathetic, cold, cruel and bitter of your actions and expose rants.))
You are the one who should be on her knees asking for forgiveness.
Nobody here accepts your fake Apology and excuses.
Enough means enough
I warn you, I warned you before and many times
Delete your blog Or face the consequences
Everyone mentioned spreading awareness about Rhylie and reporting her page.
@rhyliecaterflygivessucess4prome
This is really my last warning to you Rhylie.
I honestly didn't want to do that, but you left me no choice.
This is really your last warning.
So think well before you reply or just delete your blog.
You have been warned before but You ignored and mocked all my warnings.
And I'm being honest when I say I don't want to do it but because of your actions, your whining, your lies and your games
I really will do it
I don't want to do this but if you keep going like this
I will really do it this time and I mean it
That's all
