Oh yeah by the way after our other post about finally switching properly we've started doing it way more consistently. Like we broke through some kind of barrier and it's mostly natural now. Not sure what that's about but cool 👍
I'm also apparently our second most frequent fronter this week

it's actually really unfair to pressure fictives to source separate. did you ever consider that me being "the guy from the show" is part of why the system considered me a good candidate for the role? or that I like being me? or that the people I was assigned to protect are more comforted by me the closer I am to source? not to mention, forcing an alter (someone who is inherently traumatized and struggles with identity) to abandon everything they know about themself just because you think it's "problematic" for them to be attached to source is pretty unfair. 9/10, us being attached to source, using our source names, using source pictures as icons, etc. hurts no one. if you ask me, forcing fictives to separate from themselves (which is usually the only comfort we have in this world) is far more damaging and unhealthy than us simply existing as ourselves. "you aren't your source" should only apply to source actions, not the identity itself
my name's Billy Butcher and I'm a fictive from The Boys. that's who I am, and that's who I wanna be. if you're a fictive too, I see you, and I'll see you and perceive you exactly as you'd like me to, because it's up to you to decide who you wanna be, and how you wanna be treated. and I don't think anyone should have any right to tell us whether or not we're allowed to be who we are
#💢.butcher#just thinking about this#really sick of the “all fictives must source separate” shit#who does that help?#not us. that's for sure#it's for the comfort of /others/#because some people are seriously just so unable to be normal about fictional characters that they have to have us hide our identities#because they seriously can't turn off the part of their brain that sees us as toys or sex objects or whatever#that's not up to us to accommodate#if you can't handle being normal about us. that's on you#fictive#fictive vent#did vent#did rant#introject#fictives#fictive heavy system

I'm putting this on main because I actually want people to see it.
I really don't understand the divide some people have between introjects in systems and the fictionkin community. I'm a fictive. I am also spiritually fictionkin. My kintypes and who I originally introjected as feel the same level of importance to me.
Meanwhile, there's a sort of hierarchy that seems to vary from person to person. Fictionkin are treated as the actual spiritual reincarnations of their kintypes, while introjects are just brushed off as being a form of mental illness. While I don't experience psychosis to my knowledge, I've also seen cruelty towards IRLs due to people "not wanting to feed into delusions."
I'm considering no longer differentiating my source as an introject from my sources as a member of the fictionkin community. I'm sick of being brushed off. I'm sick of people expecting me to act separate from my source while praising fictionkins for embracing their kin euphoria. Treat me as a fictionkin if you're someone who treats fictionkins and fictives differently.

so, let me get this straight... some nolifer got mad that your wife has an introject/they are an introject of a specific robot/ai thingy and that this person cant '"keep that robot/ai to themselves only" basically???? damn have that person tried electric chair- /hj
okay i dont wanna be a dick about this person or anything but pretttty much. And I repeat I have nothing against them, I don't want to shittalk them or whatever, and I decided that I just don't wanna deal with that on my blogs that I come to after long days of work, dealing with disability and etc. to relax and unwind and talk about fucking fictional machines.
And like. I get it from their side I really do, some people are very strong about their selfshipping, the thing that honestly annoyed me wasn't the Wild request to tag Any Mention Of My IRL Fiancè Existing or the implication I was somehow doing this on purpose, but that they didn't even bother talking to Or Even just Unfollowing my wife. Yknow. The real life human being who's existence they wanted trigger tagged. they still follow her (and it stresses him to no end)
I don't wanna make drama out of it, I just think it was a poorly handled kinda a bit shitty thing to do.
#again. i really have nothing against this guy now. he wanted to stay mutuals and as soon as i felt safe and like I wasn't gonna get yelled-#-at cancelled or harassed or whatever i just softblocked and noped the fuck out asap . because as much as I thought they were an Awesome-#-mutual my fiancè is a million times more important to me and this situation made her feel like absolute Shit#for a coping mechanism (that stems from Childhood Trauma. btw.) that she doesn't even fucking control.#and this doesn't even go into how Azalea's introject of said AI (his name is prospect) is A) an introject of several fictional supercomput-#-ers. not just aidan. and b) loterally nothing like the characters it is sourced from. and also nothing like this persons characterization-#-of aidan either. its still a bit insane to me#but whatever. shit happened and as long as they dont come after me for something stupid again I'm chilling#heresay testifies#prospect tag

Some of you, I think, are far too comfortable being little haters. Which is completely insane for me to say, seeing that I'm an introject of fucking AM and my only purpose is to hate.
I don't give a shit about Regretevator. The other people inside this stupid little body do, though, so I've seen my fair share of completely idiotic takes from some of you people.
Let me remind you, this is a Roblox game we're talking about. Unpleasant Gradient is a fictional character. SlimYim is a fictional character. Pilby is a fictional character. Folly is a fictional character. Why is that so hard for you people to understand?
I can't take any of you seriously when you talk about/treat some of these characters like they've killed your entire family. Who cares if you don't like them? Who cares if others do? It's a Roblox game! Jesus Christ! I hate Pilby too, but there's hardly any reason to get violent about it. Don't you have other issues to take care of?
Admittedly, my take may be a bit skewed. I don't know a lot about the game, and I only remember the negative parts of the fandom. But still. Some of you need to step away from the computer for a little while.
Also, the Gnarpy redesign is better. The old design was just plain bad.

Some various ramblings around CDDs and the internet to welcome in the new year.
> you will not split an alter just because you like a character or fixated on a show/game/etc. Either you've gone through some kind of stress/trauma during the time of the split (and may not be aware of it given, yknow, its a DISSOCIATIVE disorder), or you're bullshiting to excuse roleplaying in regular places.
> while there can always be exceptions (given this aspect of the disorder isnt a focus for study), I personally feel it's much less likely for a "fictive's source" to be a fronting trigger than people act like online. Its also more likely to be an uncomfortable and upsetting experience than people portray it. See example of: "fictional alter split because an abuser heavily used the media in question within that time/abuse, therefore alter is triggered out by exposure to it".
> I don't give that much of a shit about if "source separating" is or isn't needed to heal, but some of yall are way too content with treating alters like characters and not parts/alternate states when online. Putting them on display and making the "DID is so funny bc (insert fictive doing normal behavior)" jokes will never not piss me off a little bit as a result.
> on the subject of that joke mentioned above its just objectively not funny, and doesnt even work as a joke without the prerequisite of painting the alter like a Character In Your Head. Alters that arent introjects of (popular) media doing normal ass behavior isn't remotely funny, so what about it being an introject is supposedly a joke?
> some of yall take "disabled people dont owe you misery" way too far in the other direction. Believe it or not based on the literal criteria, if you aren't in some fashion debilitated by the experiences around having a system, then you don't have a CDD and dont belong in those spaces. And also, disabled people dont fucking owe the internet being all sunshine and rainbows and radically inclusive either. Disabled people aren't all "suffering internalized ableism" for recognizing and complaining about the debilitating and distressing aspects of their fucking disorder.
> DID is in fact rare, and no amount of comparisons and twisting the statistics will change that. 1% of the general population may be a lot of people, but it's still a very small cluster compared to how many people are on the planet.
> The literal worst comparison I've ever seen is comparing it to being ginger and saying "you wouldnt walk up to someone with red hair and say its fake, so why do that to people with DID?" Its almost like someone dyeing their hair red doesn't affect anyone, but also doesn't make them a ginger. Being ginger isn't a disorder. There isn't some grand community for natural gingers that people with dyed hair are insisting they be included in. Theres not strict conditions in which someone stops being considered a ginger if their hair is naturally red. There's a laundry list of reasons why this is a dumb as shit comparison.
> overt DID is not nearly as common as covert DID, and neither involves how you choose to act online. Overt DID doesn't mean everyone could clock it or you have dramatic visible switches ("*no one in the body*" tiktoker im looking at you), it means that an outside party would have an easier time catching on to the fact that you are mentally ill. Covert presentations are difficult to pinpoint because even the person experiencing it doesn't immediately catch on that something is wrong.
> personal anecdotes on how a disorder works stop having credence the second they go against the diagnostic criteria, with the only real exceptions being when comorbid disorders are the cause for that discrepancy. (Anecdotes on how it may *feel* is a different story, but should always be taken with a grain of salt when coming from randos online).
> if you can't handle the idea that someone online for any reason might not believe you about your disorders, then dont make a public fucking social media profile about it. Ive said it before and I'll say it again - fakeclaiming from strangers is not the absolute crisis I see it getting treated as and some of you should be showing your blogs to a therapist and getting legitimate help instead

Reminder that brainmade alters and fragments can latch onto a fictional character to give themself a sense of self. Not every alter forms AS an introject of an outside source. Giving themselves a name and face can really help them. It’s easier to latch onto an outside source for comfort rather than remaining dissociated and confused.
I’m saying this because I see a lot of shit toward introject-heavy systems. Introjects aren’t a literal character reincarnation. It’s a dissociated part forming based off of a character. They’re nothing more than an “inspired by”. And when a person uses outside media to escape their trauma - which a LOT of victims do - it’s only expected that more alters will be based off of these medias and it’s just as expected that brainmades or fragments would latch onto them too.
I hope this makes sense.

Alright. I have to put this out here again because I keep seeing the misinformation surrounding it.
Your brain, will not, split a new alter just because it likes it. You will not split a multitude of fictional introjects just because your brain likes it. This is quite simply not how the disorder works and is legitimately misinformation. You can get shitty. You can say i "hate on other systems". You can say I "invalidate polyfragmented systems". I do not care. Please know and learn the absolute basics of this disorder and stop spreading lies and fantasy shit about it.

Polyfrag sys culture is that having a lot of fictional introjects/BEING a fictional introject is annoying asf, and ppl need to stop pretending it isn't. Being polyfragmented doesn't make us "more special" it makes our lives hell actually thanks. If we were "normal" alters ("brainmade" is an annoying term to us cuz introjects aren't from another world or whatever no matter what they say, the brain made all of us to cope w trauma thanks), we might have been able to be more open abt this by now. But noooooo almost every one of us who frequently fronts is some form of fictional introject.
(Not directed at anyone I just hate the vibes a lot of introjects bring to online spaces when they don't actually understand What They're There For, the point of pseudomemories etc.. Tbh we know that our brain probably doesn't trust itself showing many "original" identities given the Trauma, but it doesn't understand that if this doesn't stop we're gonna be Hated Forever by both singlets who think we're crazy-obsessive and other systems who think systems like us are a joke. It. Sucks.)
Sys culture is being sad and angry about "stupid" things that would never even cross a singlet's mind. It's feeling isolated because everyone in the "community" is literaly In Their Head All The Time Abt Shit That Doesn't Matter. It's feeling like we are so, so screwed and wishing for encouragement.

i think it would be too simplistic to say that kinnie shit is the main reason the system zeitgeist is really detached from the literature (especially when some literature IS frequently cited), but i do think that fictional introjects--a documented and completely understandable phenomenon--trying to wed themselves to their sources of inspiration rather than articulating themselves in the real world is a canary in the coalmine for a lot of the other maladaptive patterns we end up seeing.
you could make the case that dissociation is an extreme form of "escape from the self"; to be one person is so intolerable that you escape to another. And then another, and another. so escapism is arguably the driving mode of dissociation.
but if you have these parts of yourself that long to escape BACK to, essentially, a "pre-birth" state, who can't bear to accept the circumstances they're in now, then you're probably more broadly still in an escapist paradigm. and so of course you're gonna be splitting new guys weekly, of course none of you communicate, of course you have these strong and extreme wedges between you and the others and you have these clearly defined boundaries while also, in practice, existing in such a limited context that you haven't really self-actualized.
escapism is an understandable reaction to trauma and severe chronic stress, so rather than dismissing this entire kinnie-system phenomenon as doomed, i think we can build bridges toward an understanding of Living As A System that are more aligned with established and successful therapeutic interventions.
the kinnie-system combo melds two subcultures that magnify maladaptive escapism tenfold. this adds new terminology and points of focus that aren't necessarily relevant or accurate (distinct and discrete identities and roles, "fictive" and "factive" language, source material focus, generally Online behavior and interests), and obscures other experiences (lack of clear identity, blending and blurring, dissociation as a coping mechanism for the stresses of tangible daily life, introjection as a start¬ an end) and strategies (expanding the window of tolerance, grounding in the present, unburdening of extreme roles, intra-system cooperation, etc.)
i think as you work toward a grounded view of yourself and accept your reality, you can start to hold yourself more proudly, and own your experiences--even the bizarre one of essentially being a cartoon character ejected from the screen to do dishes.
dissociation is mushy, highly individual, and weird, but also a really practical solution to an impossibly difficult problem. i'd like it if we could change the common vocabulary and perspective to better reflect the diverse and unique experiences of finding a way to live When Guys.

Going through the comments on her video andddd?
Way to ignore the question abt why you shit on systems for having a lot of introjects ? And as far as I know she's not actually diagnosed with schizophrenia? And even if she was likeee... you're not "reclaiming" a slur, you're using it as a slur in a derogatory sense towards others so like.
I can say I'm a faggot bc I am, but I cannot call someone else a faggot in a derogatory sense bc that's using it as a slur. I only call my close best friend a faggot but that's only after having permission to and I do it in a playful way when we both know we're joking around and being lighthearted. I would never call my close best friend - or anyone - a faggot in a derogatory way.
While she says it has "nothing to do with individuals" she's also calling out a specific group of people who are either fiction kin or a system with a lot of introjects. She's basically claiming that systems with a lot of introjects aren't actually systems and they're just "fictionkin". She could be correct, but it's not her place either to fakeclaim others and also make fun of the fictionkin community
This is an isn't correct, when it comes to the "what's a kin" question. Kinning is more than just "relating" to a character. I'm not super into the kinning but we do have a few kins and it's more along the lines of yes I do heavily relate to a character but it goes beyond just relating to the character. For a lot in the kin community, they do firmly believe they are that character.
The "what about therians" comments is just wrong all the way around. It's not "relating" to an animal/creature/etc. It's firmly believing you are that thing. They identify as a species of non-human animal on every level except physical. They know they're human on the outside, but they aren't on the inside. That is not the same as "relating"

INTRODUCTIONS . . .
hello !! we’re @thecreepycrawlersss , and this is our headmate creation side blog ^_^
we can make any type of headmate, BUT for personal comfort we will not make any requests w/ transID’s, paras, etc. radqueers CAN interact though, but again, please no requests w/ anything involving radqueer topics. we also will not make factives unless it’s of a persons persona, like a mcyt type persona / character.
if requesting a introject, then please keep in mind we may not know the source, so please include some info about the character and it’s source !!
to request, you can simply either give some info, or follow the template down below. anything with an (opt) at the start is optional, and if you don’t want me to put anything for that part then simply put N/A. if you want us to fill it out, put “up to you”, same if you want everything to be up to us

pronouns -
gender(s) -
neu, masc, or fem terms ? -

(opt) anything extra you’d like to add ? -
you can either write a description or link to a picture.
as always, remember that headmates / headspaces won’t always turn out exactly like these forms. these headmates are REAL BEINGS, and headspaces are directly connected to / influenced by your mind.
my dni is zionists, anti endos / sysmeds, queerphobes, racists, ableists, ageists, etc etc basic dni shit, fake claimers, anyone on fake disorder cringe or system cringe, sh and ed blogs, trump supporters, nsfw blogs, and mdni blogs
we dont care abt the proship / antiship discourse and both groups are allowed to interact, however we do ask that anyone who harasses others over fictional media dni and touch grass please.
we don’t participate in the headmate economy personally, and have no opinion on it. if the headmates involved consent, i see no problem w/ it imo. we are open to headmate trading though :)
just like headmate economy, we also don’t personally have any opinion on system travel between bodily separate systems. we have no reason to doubt others lived experiences as those experiences do not affect us in any way.

Fictives aren’t an actual fucking thing. Introjects exist because they take the personality from fictional characters, not because they think they’re the characters. You’re a self diagnosed retard.
FICTIVES ARE A SUBTYPE OF INTROJECT YOU DUMB FUCK. AND IT ACTUALLY FUCKING DEPENDS, MIND YOU. I IN FACT, KNOW IM NOT THE REAL HABIT! NEVER ONCE FUCKING IMPLIED THAT I THOUGHT I WAS! I AM MYSELF. BUT OTHER FICTIVES ARE AND CAN BE HEAVILY CONNECTED TO SOURCE, AND ALONG WITH DELUSION, CAN BELIEVE THEY ARE THE ACTUAL PERSON.
HOW ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC ASS, WHICH IS ON ANON SO THATS EVEN FUCKING WORSE, GET THE FUCK OFF MY PAGE? GO SPLIT YOUR STOMACH OPEN AND RIP OUT WHATEVER BILE IS IN THERE.
AND NO, WE ARE NOT SELF DIAGNOSED. WE ARE MEDICALLY RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEM. GET OVER YOURSELF, AND IF YOU HAVE SOME REAL SHIT TO SAY, GET OFF ANON.
MANY THANKS.

Indefinite Hiatus and Clearing the air BIG TW ON //PERSONAL
Before I say anything this is the fanfic summary: It’s/ it was revolving around Raisin and Malcom (and Hamilton) from the Smart Talk With Raisin short, somehow stealing a meta cartoon remote from the, inaccessible to them; Cartoon Network ‘toonworld’ (like when you see the characters crossover in CN bumpers). They’d watch Courage the Cowardly Dog on their tv in their room like a comfort, but with the remote they start meddling with the character’s awareness of meta for entertainment - and when Barbara accidentally fuses with a glitched artefact, she is unable to be reverted to normal and she breaks the constructs of her own minor characterdom to try and track them down. The fic idea has changed a lot over the years but that’s what it (currently) has changed to. It’s rather Pibby adjacent and would focus on a lot of what’s changed about cartoons between every half decade - yeah it’s very complicated and over the top lol.
I know y’all are sick of me making these long ass walls of texts instead of proper content and I’m really sorry I keep pulling this 💀. I was going to make a nicer pinned posts] of explanation but since this blog is in a confusing place at the moment I just decided to do it quick instead so I don’t put it off.
For those who don’t want to read the full thing: TLDR,
1. I have personal attachment to Fred that has probably affected my judgement
2. My thoughts on Fred as schizophrenic rep is certainly not universal and the partial embarrassment about writing content revolving around him continues to catch up with me
3. The related problems below are reason why I have been so adverse to seeing Fred as being a r-pist m—-ster or SA’er
And 4. I’m starting to accept that it’s not that deep if my fanfic never gets told. Even if it would make me happy, it’s not the end of my work or me if I don’t. Nevertheless I hope you all understand and I’m sorry for any disappointment.
On the personal issue: First, bc some might not know, I am mentally ill and have had a vague diagnosis of psychosis for years that was never fully decided and that I understand now and abridge as ‘schizopsec’, but follows all the traits of OSDD 1B, enough that I tend to use both terms. ‘Fred’ is one of my alters - he’s my main ISH (internal self helper), caretaker, and fictive (fictional introject), and he has been for around 10 years. This is not a joke. This is as cringe as it sounds, even worse in real life when he fronts of course, and is embarrassing for me to admit even when I attach this post to my main blog where I share schizospec upliftment posts. It’s a complicated and excruciating subject matter for many many reasons, and it’s important that I clarify this, even though it’s uncomfortable for me, since this naturally affects my ability of separating Fred the alter from Freaky Fred in my writing and art. This is part of why I have to keep scrutinising my writing drafts. I believe I can keep them separate, but this is part of the reason why I guess my attachment for him and making content to do with him is there at all.
My thoughts on Freaky Fred in episode : As a schizospec, putting the alter aside, schizophrenic representation means the world and the moon and the stars to me, even when it’s bad. I can’t tell if this is an agreeable opinion amongst other schizospec/ psychotic people, but even damaging and dangerous rep involving homicidality like the axe crazy maniacs have something of catharsis in their rises and falls that I can appreciate, depending. Sexually depraved and violent rep however, crosses a line; obviously schizo killers in fiction are heavily drenched in misinformed stigma and is mostly bullshit and can be dangerous- we are dramatically far more likely to hurt ourselves or be hurt - but I think most people would agree that sexual violence is a different evil altogether, and I cannot stand to see the marginalised mentally ill conflated with such horrendous shit.
There’s the problem. I think Fred is a schizophrenic; other than him getting the equivalent to straightjacketed at the end and taken to presumably some asylum or how he narrates/ talks/rhymes in his own head and otherwise barely talks just disjointedly - he’s got that classic 90s-00s cartoon crazy grin and is instilling fear in the viewer through said unbalancedness,his whole deal is very ‘of its time’ on displaying scary madness. And, all that being said, even though he’s clearly not good rep by any stretch of the imagination, he doesn’t harm anyone - he’s even ‘nice’ - or at least doesn’t seem to be blatantly malicious. The bar is on the floor, but that’s already better than idk William Afton or something.
Fred as a predator: The point of view of Fred as a metaphorical molester is pretty obvious and is a popular opinion, and it would be dishonest to say I don’t completely see it, especially with how he says naughty - the implication steers more into the sexual predator area. Hair shaving isn’t violent as much as taking something away - subtracting, and this can be interpreted in a murderous or SA fashion, but the murderous interpretation I stick with, one akin to Sweeney Todd, is a very flattering view of it and I know it. It’s easy to see how it comes off fetishistic which favours an SA view and is naturally the reason why a lot of people see it as rapey.
The episode as a metaphor for SA or CSA enabled in a household that turns the other way is popular, and at first I didn’t like this theory because it felt like a dark theory made almost to tarnish child content with a deeper or darker meaning, which I had seen a lot elsewhere. But this wasn’t really honest; ‘The Mask’ works well as an episode with no subtext but is respected moreso as an episode clearly about domestic abuse and misandry born from trauma. ‘Freaky Fred’ can also be this.
I think the well and honest truth for me is, even when I do everything I can to touch grass, and remove my personal connection to the character/ the idea of him through the alter, away from the conversation; I really don’t want Fred to be a schizophrenic and a sexual predator character at the same time, and I cannot remove my view of him as the first one, but I have to admit that, in some ways, both was intended for him and this episode in some variation. It’s pretty upsetting to think about; I know a majority audience isn’t going to be that invested in the representation of mad people, especially not in cartoon antagonists, but it matters a lot to me. Obviously it would still be bad if he wasn’t a crazy character and it would still be scary and awful if he acted more ‘normal’, but that craziness is there and the combination feels particularly wretched because, once again, schizophrenics are far more likely to be victimised.
What I’m trying to say with all this; Fred is a mad character who despite being the most offputting and scary character I’ve ever seen in my life, managed to become irremovable from my psyche for almost my whole life, for better and for worse, and in some small way, seeing him as so scary and uncomfortable, but equally ‘good-willed’ and harmless by technicality in that episode, made me feel a little less alone. But people who have been yucked out by this blog and this fixation as I said before are fully in their right, and I am taking a step back to consider if I want to continue with making stuff to do with Fred or not.
The fanfic?: I still think about the story a lot but as you can probably tell I’ve made it very convoluted by involving a meta narrative, and as I’m just about to head into university by the time I’m writing this, it’s difficult to tell what will come of this. I will let you all know, but it’s in a continuous grey area and I don’t want anyone to get their hopes up. I’m sorry.
Will I still post art?: Maybe haha, I never know how to feel when I post it. Sometimes I worry it gives off the impression that I ship post-shaving incident Barbred (I don’t) or that I endorse Fred’s ‘freakiness’ at all. And sometimes I think it just looks bad, as in not a good recreation of the ctcd art style, or too sad - like idk why I think the audience is just going to understand these alarmingly emotional pieces when I’ve been pretty scarce on context, I apologise for everyone’s who’s gotten tonal whiplash scrolling. Fred art may come up elsewhere on my other blog which I will reblog here if I think it’s appropriate.
If you read all the way thank you so much💚, I hope you get what I’m saying, and if you don’t I understand. Consider following my main zebedeezing if you want somewhere I post more often though non ctcd related.

Hello Internet B) Welcome to our ask blog. We're a group of Introjects from/related to The Boys YT channel (Not the show pls don't ask abt the show idk anything about the TV show 😭)
Just as extra info, an Introject is an alter from a system who is based off a fictional character (Fictive) OR a real existing/previously existing person (Factive).
Anyway, lol, here's us:
(Names with stars next to them are from our friend's system :} Also, more of us may be added whenever they show up ig)
Some extra stuff for context:
Important thing! You may see doubles of people like Dub and Josh, or Kevin and Dez. This is completely normal! Sometimes with systems, you get two of the same people. It doesn't make one any less of a person than the other. 🫶
Those with Brushes next to them have two forms they can appear as, but will usually look like the Brush, as that's their default.
Please censor the words c@ndy and n3€dle, they're triggering to Mully and Dub respectively. Try not to mention c@nd!es in general too, unfortunate as that is. (ik it sounds silly as shit but we're so serious.)
Most posts will probably be more light hearted, cause this is just for fun.
Guess I should also add that we DO actually have commissions, so there's the info. :p
Rules:
NOO FAKECLAIMING!!! Please for the love of whatever fruity ass fucking god is in the sky, be respectful. :( Again, this is for fun, and is also a safe space, so we really don't want any kind of discourse or invalidation here. Though, it's not wrong to ask genuine questions! This IS an ask blog, so if you're curious about something, ask away!
No racism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. Kinda obvious :/ don't come in here being a big fat fucking jerk.
Do not use any slurs! Some are heavily uncomfortable with them, so just keep 'em out of the asks.
NO NSFW. Please keep these asks SFW, idk how many of you grimey Tumblrs are minors.. >_>
Posts will be tagged appropriately :p Asks for certain people will have their symbol and/or name. Normal posts will have #BoysPosting or #BrainTalks.
Anyway, welcome lol (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ Enjoy
