#how do i tag this so people can blacklist it??

[dykeinspaceofficial]

Other weird shit I’ve seen:

“18 but my favorite number is 14”

“18 but I have 15 cats”

“18 but I’ve collected 16 [items]”

Look out for the 🗺️ emoji in place of the word map in the tags

Also look out for: “irl loli” “irl kiddo” and to a lesser extent (because these are used by adults too) “perv bait” and “groom me” type tags. The “older man x young girl” genre of posts also tends to have a lot of that floating around.

For some reason I also noticed people using the 🍈 and 🍕 emojis? Not sure what that’s about and I’m afraid to look it up 👍

The other thing is a lot of adults who are interacting with these kinds of blogs have caught on to the fact we can report them if they actually reblog, so a lot of them have these things hidden in their likes. Yet another reason why blank blogs are a red flag.

Source: a blank blog interacting with minors in their likes followed me a couple months ago and I went down a really awful blocking rabbit hole and saw explicit CSAM with my own two eyes because of it. (Link is safe though, nothing graphic!)

How to avoid these blogs and those interacting with them:

It’s the same trick as with terfs and radfems. (You do have the “terfsafe” and “radfem safe” and “terfs please interact” and “radical feminism” tags blacklisted, right? RIGHT?)

Go to settings -> general settings -> filtering, and add tags to your blacklist. Then, when one of these blacklisted posts jumpscares you on your dash, you can tell the person who reblogged it what’s going on or block them or whatever.

Be safe out there. Please report these blogs. Remember to report things to NCMEC too if you feel it’s necessary—all you need is usernames.

okay I know this is not what anyone wants to see while they’re on their horny account but we seriously need to have a conversation about how to recognize underage blogs because I’m getting real concerned about the number of people I’ve been seeing the past couple days seemingly unknowingly interacting with blogs that are full of coded messages about how the user running them is a minor advertising CSAM

my personal interpretation of pennywaynes is that alfred had to fuck thomas before he was allowed to fuck martha.

[lesbianfakir]

Princess tutu did what h*rry p*tter fucking wished it could do like how is it fakir’s nameless faceless parents are somehow infinitely more compelling to me than hp’s tragic fridged parents who the story never shut up about?? Like their love saved him and now he’s the Special Boy whatever fuck off, now my boy fakir he doesn’t get special magic protection actually he’s destined to die young AND THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR HIM ANYWAYS. I’m so upset over these people who were mentioned like four times ever and they don’t even have FACES. Imagine being loved so so much that you’re able to take fate into your own hands and reverse your inevitable tragedy. But like. With good writing

Alright, I've been mulling on this for most of the day, and unless a night's sleep changes my mind, I'll be working on returning (remaking) a very old multimuse of mine, that used to be over at iniziare. The blog will be entirely remade, and I'll post it here when it's done!

For those wondering, it will for now house: Guizhong, Yelan, Kafka and Arlecchino. Time to finish up that other WIP theme for this, I suppose! See you guys on the flip-side of this brighter future.

so like. lucidity and his version of nightmare.

Officially the nature of Lucidity's feelings regarding Nightmare is up to interpretation, but due to the nature of DreamSwap, damn near anything is possible. and i'm gonna just play with the idea of it being romantic for a bit.

Nightmare definitely had a crush on Dream when they were kids. Like. That's actually canon. Dream I don't think ever knew.

Lucidity certainly didn't.

But if any of those feelings remain, Lucidity will notice pretty quickly now. Unless him going evil has finally made Nightmare go 'oh jesus christ no', which I find unlikely since Nightmare also finds out that Lucidity still cares about him at about the same time. that's going to complicate things a bit.

i could go on this tangent about a hyper-specific scenario i had in my head, but it'd involve way too much backstory about an overly complicated AU that isn't ready to be shared yet, so i'll just stow that away and pull out the basic themes of it.

If Lucidity ever happens upon Nightmare when he's in danger, Lucidity won't hesitate to try and save him. Generally Nightmare doesn't get into the kind of trouble where he needs saving, but Lucidity's fucking paranoid about losing people, so he just swoops in and gets rid of the problem as fast as possible no matter how small it is, or if Nightmare seems to be handling it just fine.

This wouldn't change if, somehow, probably through some outside interference, their destiny bond was broken.

if Nightmare's crush hasn't fully gone away, and if Lucidity really does save his ass from certain doom, that crush is going to suddenly come back like 10x worse and he's going to be a mess about it.

Lucidity would love to have Nightmare stay with him, Shale, and Nightshade. If he wasn't absolutely convinced that Nightmare's moral compass was so strong he'd only agree so he could try and stop them from their shit by messing stuff up from the inside, he'd have given the offer to Nightmare ages ago. This applies to non-romantic versions as well, but in the romantic version Lucidity is also looking for a way for him, Shale, and Nightshade to get along. His boyfriends don't all have to date, but they need to be able to peacefully co-exist. otherwise things are going to be. uh. difficult

He's right about Nightmare, though. Even if Nightmare's romantic feelings for him got turned up to 11, he's not just going to run off with him. He's kind of thinking about it, but in a 'how can i get him to Not Do This and just stay with me' way, rather than 'would it really be so bad? it's not like he's going to hurt me. or people I care about. ...right?'

cross and error would be teasing Nightmare about being a disaster gay, but they're a little more concerned that he's considering it at all. In any way. He's also really distressed about this, and they absolutely understand why! no fucking idea how to help him though.

All that said, Lucidity is trying to figure something out. He doesn't necessarily need Nightmare to love him (romantically), he just needs to make absolutely fucking sure that Nightmare stays near and stays safe. And is happy staying with him, without trying to interfere. romantic feelings can be considered afterwards.

I have no idea if that's going to work out for him. It probably will in one timeline, because i love making things worse, but I'm not sure how yet, or if that will be the main timeline.

I do know that it'll be a hell of a lot harder so long as Cross and Error are there. Even if Nightmare's too busy being a fucking disaster to remember-slash-notice, those two are absolutely going to notice that lucidity's being Weird. And his boyfriends are, too. They might not pick up on what exactly it is but they'll figure it out eventually. And they're certainly not letting nightmare go off alone to see Lucidity and his boyfriends; especially not fucking Shale

'fucking shale' (adjective + noun; derogatory) doesn't have the same ring to it as 'fucking obsidian' (adjective + noun; derogatory)

Nightmare might think they're overreacting sometimes, but they've konwn each other long enough and been through enough together that, unless lucidity can talk to him alone and make him doubt his friends, he absolutely trusts their judgement. Even if Lucidity does get him alone, Nightmare knows that Lucidity never had a great opinion of Cross, so pretty much anything negative he says about her is going to be taken with a whole mountain of salt chunks. And once he starts on Cross, Nightmare will be more dubious about anything negative Lucidity says about Error.

Nightmare's very smart. And he's had some bad run-ins with people. He knows to look out for certain things. He knows he shouldn't trust Lucidity after he's clearly lost his head and has been hanging out with a couple of nasty bastards (whom night may or may not know are manipulative pieces of shit anyways).

Unfortunately, he (and also Cross and Error, admittedly) is still having trouble believing that Lucidity's changed this much in such a short amount of time. The Lucidity he knew before, who ran Justice Reigns, wouldn't try to turn him against his friends just for his own gain. The Lucidity he knew before wouldn't try to manipulate him at all. And if his crush has gotten way way stronger, that's...that's probably going to color his perception a bit. No matter how hard he tries to do otherwise.

Also. As a general rule I consider breaking the destiny bond a Good Thing. While neither of them are likely to try to get themselves killed, it’s nice to know that they’re not going to die for the other’s mistakes.

Lucidity would not want it to be broken. Particularly in the context i mentioned above, where someone is trying to kill Nightmare, but very much wants Lucidity alive. This means that destiny bond is more or less keeping Nightmare alive.

He wouldn’t think much of it normally, without influence from wholly different multiverses. But if anyone’s actively trying to sever the destiny bond they almost definitely want one of them dead, and Lucidity is going to assume its Nightmare until further notice. And he isn’t going to let that happen if he has anything to say about it.

Stop doomscrolling

alright I've now gotten 5 of these anon messages of varying aggressiveness and its getting annoying

the way I see it, you've got a few options:

if im posting something factually wrong, tell me so that I can look into it and learn and remove it

ask me to tag something that upsets you. no guarantee that I will but I might

stop caring what I reblog on my own blog. it's my blog and I'll reblog what I want

just unfollow me. no one's forcing you to follow me

I really don't like being told I'm reblogging "doom cult bullshit" when I already tag consistently AND nothing makes people continue to follow me if they don't want to. For the record, any further anon asks like this shit will be deleted.

[peglarpapers]

sometimes i get too heated defending the terror (2007) hit novel by dan simmons and i’m like ‘no there is something to be said about how simmons uses male characters’ attitudes towards sex and women both as representative of the colonial landscape and from a purely technical perspective the combination of prejudice, fascination and disgust with which sex and sexual encounters are treated (by crozier and franklin especially) is often fascinatingly evocative character-wise’ and then i remember that there is not a single speaking female character whose pubic hair is not described in painstaking detail and rapidly realize that it is not that serious

For the last time:

Opposing a genocide is not fucking antisemitic. No one reblogging posts in support of Palestine is antisemitic. Criticizing the things Israeli people have done and are doing to Palestinians is not antisemitic.

If you are personally getting offended by people criticizing and calling out Israel, the place and its actions, not any random Israeli like you who might be reading this who (I sure fucking hope) doesn't support what Israel is doing to Palestine, maybe you should reflect on why that is. Why do you feel grouped in with the Israelis that are supporting the extermination of Palestinians and not the ones that are protesting worldwide in solidarity with them? If you're truly against the genocide, you shouldn't be angry about posts speaking out against it.

If there's something unfactual about a pro-Palestine post you've seen, reblog it to boost the good parts of the post and correct the misinformation in it yourself as someone who has the competence and (I sure fucking hope) the credible sources to do so rather than ripping into people who don't have an eye for the shit you're catching. You can show solidarity and still educate people who don't understand where posts are wrong. And for all you know, you could be wrong because you could be unknowingly falling for propaganda, depending on the things you're citing in your corrections.

No one that's a decent person (read: not a neo-Nazi using the war as cover for their antisemitic bullshit) who is speaking about the genocide of Palestinians is attacking the Jewish faith. And I need you to read that sentence more than once and really think about what it's saying. Those people are not antisemitic.

I am not antisemitic. I DO NOT hate Jews. Condemning Israel for committing a genocide is not antisemitic. I shouldn't have to disclaim this in order to interact with posts supporting Palestine. And if you've been on my blog for a long fucking time, you should KNOW I'm not antisemitic because I have reblogged tons of anti-Nazi/Jewish support posts, the same way I've been reblogging pro-Palestine/anti-genocide posts. I am not fucking antisemitic for agreeing with posts that are condemning a genocide.

Thank you and stay the fuck out of my askbox.

[what-the-fuck-khr]

whoever put that fuckass artwork of a scary motherfucker face thing whatever without warning I’m going to kill you. I’m going to rip you to fucking pieces

[illegitimatetenenbaum]

heads up! your url got added to a blocklist by heritageposts of "zionist" bloggers.

/heritageposts/739001828333813760/large-zionist-blocklist?source=share

I've already reported the post, but you may want to encourage other people to do so as well.

LOOK IMA, I MADE IT!

This is honestly deeply hilarious, especially as I don’t remember ever interacting with that post, but whatever. Here’s hoping the antisemites block me before I have to block them.

Thanks for letting me know, Anon.

something something.

the difference in how team vibe/leadership appears from the outside is still crazy to me. like i didnt watch a lot of soulfire pov and so hearing the tales of how things were internally is such a wild contrast to how they looked. I SAY THIS WITH LOVE IN MY HEART. PEACE AND KINDNESS AND BEAUTY ON PLANET EARTH.

like my mind particularly hones in on tubbo saying bbh was out of control and such in his discussions with (if im remembering correctly) phil and foolish. i cannot be damned to bring up every instance of things but the general vibe of blue from POV outsider was like, tubbo is leader in name only and bbh is making aggressive plays without talking it over with his team first.

but the soulfire livebloggers tell me that soulfire is operating with 3 person leadership split between tubbo, bbh, and tina. the word on the street is the majority of blue is chill and working together. which i would Not know if not for those blessed bloggers because my watching habits meant i saw tina and soulfire's base once in a blue moon (hehe blue team blue moon). so the face of soulfire i saw was Mostly bbh, pierre, and tubbo, which did not aid in the impression of the organization i got during the early days.

on a different but related note, i'm fuckin dying to better know how Decisions happened with that 3 leader gig. like i'm used to the drill usually being phil gets on early, sees the stats and calls out what tasks are priority that day, and then the team balls and focuses on that task because it is Decided.

[reikunrei]

every now and then throughout my day i’ll just have this intense moment of “STRANGER THINGS SEASON FIVE!!!!” and like. that’s it. it’s just this like. intense wave of general EXCITEMENT like IT’S GONNA BE A THING AND WE’RE GONNA GET TO WATCH IT like that’s SO EXCITING!!! we’re gonna get to see the end of this series and it’s gonna be a big grand finale and it’s gonna fucking rule!!!

like not even thinking about theories or predictions or anything i do or don’t wanna see on screen like while that’s all good and fun i ultimately am not tied super close to anything because i just wanna see the story as they wanna tell it and WE’RE GONNA GET THAT AND IT’S SO EXCITING!!! like i’m just soooo so so excited to see how it all ends.... i don’t care what happens i’m just Excited

((Because I've been thinking about upcoming content in the vn and the relation to this blog I thought it appropriate to make a post with a poll. There'll be further context under the poll too.

As of right now this blog uses a very general spoiler tag (the crown of leaves spoilers) for all spoilers regardless of chapter or act and with chapter 3 (to say nothing of side or additional content like Phobia) coming in the future I wanted to do a little check in!

This applies to both ic and ooc content of course (both of which y'all have seen, especially if you've followed me since the beginning) and I also employ the use of a read more if a post is particularly long or detailed, has a lot of screenshots, etc (a perfect example being this commentary post here) which is something I'll continue doing but there are also shorter posts without them too. I just want to make sure that everyone enjoys the content on this blog without feeling like they're being cheated in some way for lack of a better term, and this absolutely goes double for the few mutuals I'm aware of who're actually playing the game.))

[escapaldi]

This is why I have a difficult time believing that "saying bad things about our Founding Fathers is a terrible thing" or "don't speak ill of the dead" however that sentiment gets packaged. You can't just say that they were "complex like anyone" and leave it at that as the most in-depth you get. It's not cancel culture or purity culture or whatever to discuss the inherent and vast double standard of these rich WASPy men talking about freedom and rights for only them while on stolen land that was built on the backs of slaves and managed by their wives, all while propping up lies that was only taken as supposed fact because it helped bolster their mentality and way of life. Any time someone mentions even part of this in a discussion about American history, some doofus rises from whatever comfortable suburban lifestyle swamp they're in to harp about how cancel/purity culture is killing us as a nation. We're still talking about them. They're not cancelled. We're just at the point now where we can and want to have dialogue so that we aren't worshipping these people like false idols in the manner every American history textbook for generations has done.

You want to know what are applications of cancel/purity culture that are actually harmful? Not discussing how many people were around before the initial permanent European settlements in North America and why so few of their descendants remain. Not talking about slavery in this nation was waaay different from the Roman slavery the class learned about last semester in World History and not in a good way (understatement). Not acknowledging how there are active people alive in 2023 who are older than not only the Voting Rights Act of 1965(my mom is older than this!!!) but also the 19th Amendment (1920!!!) of all things. Not contextualizing why LGBT+ people only seem to exist in larger numbers recently, and allowed to grow old and proud and out for only the past ten or so years. Not breaking down how the Puritans wrote their own version of history where they were unjustly persecuted and downtrodden and that's part of why our country is the way it is, where people have gotten this far in spite of it all. That is harmful cancel culture. That is focus on purity. That is why we have such knee-jerk reactions from people learning the truth and creating shit like cancel culture and purity culture and whatever other fucking reactive culture there is revolving being disgusted at truths that should have never been hidden from anyone.

There are so many things that get purposefully left out of conversations because it's perceived as "cancelling" the established narrative and might cause kids learning about it to be sad or feel guilty. Guess what? These things fill in important gaps for reasoning, motivation, and context, and those sad kids? They are sad because they're learning how to empathize and that they never want shit like this to happen ever again. Guilt is only there when they've participated, and why might children feel guilty then if this all is in the past? Before they were even born? The only way we'll move towards the nation that was promised to us through history and civics courses is by recognizing these deep flaws and teaching that to the next generations so they won't be stuck on the "glory" of the past. If instead of breaking down these old paradigms for a more complete and truer history you want to prop up these sterile lies fill of denial and erasure, what are you really advocating? That the nation we were all promised is the biggest lie in of itself? Hmm... I wonder why that could be... (.-.)

We have to tell the truth. From the beginning. All of us do. The responsibility has been riding on the backs of the marginalized for far too long. And the easiest way to do that is to teach actual history.
