31? you were typing “smex” on 2000s internet forums don’t preach about how censorship is new
Literally did not say it was new, you are projecting something I've repeatedly said in the reblogs of that post is not what I was talking about. My post is about the pervasive idea that you can (and should, and must) avoid discomfort by avoiding discomforting language, not about how TikTok is Ruining the Youth. I don't think it's generational but I do think it's frustrating.
having said which, while I had the same gripes a decade ago about people censoring slurs while using them AS SLURS as if that made a difference, I think you are somewhat misled about the vibes of 2000s forums cause the only place where the posting culture included censoring words like sex, kill, suicide or fuck were like. Sites for literal children like Neopets or Gaia Online which had strict wordblockers.
We said "smexy" for the same reason we said "glomp XD" or "hecking doggo" or "ermergurd" - because we were cringe teens who were lol randum and found it funny to misspell words. Now the experience of being online was a lot more diverse in the era of forums and blogs than in the 3 Big Websites era of the internet we're in now, so I'm not gonna say with absolute authority that nobody was censoring themselves outside of sites designed for under-14s, or that none of that language might have its origin in selfcensorship, but I can 100% promise you that unless I was dealing with a site explicitly made for kids I personally did not worry about censoring rude words on forums in the 2000s, I used all the ones I knew 🤷‍♀️

okay wait why am i now just hearing about butcher/slasher ghost, and why am i foaming at the mouth!!!???! like ripping apart pillows, tearing down walls, doing flips—RAHHH i am officially OBSESSED!!
i read it and thought of texas chainsaw massacre, but it’s the 2006 one so like simon is an absolute menace but he sees a pretty lady who’s new to town and his cold killer heart just can’t help but swoon :((( and she’s so polite, nervous, and timid because it’s so different in this town and simon with his cursed blessed keen sense of smell
OH MY GOD BUT SLASHER GRAVES IN A SMALL TOWN DOWN IN TEXAS!!!?
so sorry if this is a lot!! 😣 i’m just a little obsessed 🤭🤭 either way, have an amazing day!! stay hydrated and make sure to eat 🩷🩷
Tumblr media
HOW THE FUCK DID I NEVER THINK OF SLASHER GRAVES
My dear, I know that you probably expected Butcher!Ghost but I'm highjacking this ask now and writing slasher Graves because oh my god-
The setting I imagine to be in a small southern town in Texas, and I imagine it to be like one of those creepy, small southern gothic towns with the old abandoned churches, houses and old beaten up signs that say "His return is near" or "God is watching you", you get the idea.
And there we have Philip Graves who owns a big ranch passed down for generations in his family, and by big I mean HUGE. Enormous pastures, corn fields, cows, horses, pigs and all that which means he and his name is quite well know in the area which admittedly makes his...hobby a lot easier than you'd think. Graves has friends in high places and he's buddy buddy with the town's sheriff, basically the golden child of the town which means that both the police and the sheriff will turn a blind eye to the "sudden disappearances" of people, be it locals or newcomers to town.
But the thing is that Philip Graves is bored. Bored out of his mind and nothing seems to excite him anymore, not even the desperate hysterical screams of his victims do the thing anymore. Sure he definitely has the money, the looks that refined well with age, he's respected and liked in the community but the truth is-he doesn't give a shit about it.
I imagine that Slasher!Graves is an incredibly arrogant man, and while he may put on a pleasant facade, his accent a thick and purring drawl and his southern charm do the trick he's a whimsical and capricious prick who gets easily bored and when he does...Well let's just say that it doesn't end pretty.
So imagine how surprised he was when he was in town once in his pickup truck, cowboy hat low on his brow as he watched the cars go by when suddenly his eyes were caught by a bus, one of those that travel for very long distances and the only person who got out was you. To say that Philip's interest was piqued would be an understatement; what's a pretty soft little thing like you doing in this bumfuck nowhere in Texas?
A pretty young lady, seemingly around 20, who looked like a lost little lamb, but just what were you doing here? Everything about you screamed that you're obviously not from here and while he could see even from a distance that you tried to act confident, his sharp blue eyes saw right through that act-you were scared shitless and more than lost. Were you here to visit someone? Or maybe...you are running from something? Whatever the case was, you definitely caught his attention in more than one way.
You just looked...so soft, so pretty, lovely he'd even say and I'm sorry but this Graves that we're talking about would definitely be a little misogynistic :(( He's old fashioned, maybe it comes with his age or maybe due to how his pa raised him but the further he observed you the more he he couldn't help but think about how such a pretty young lady like yourself should be married off already to a nice gentleman, getting provided for like you deserve and in return takin' care of your husband too; bringing him beer, cookin' and popping out a kid or two :((
His train of thoughts got interrupted only by a loud booming voice calling out his name cheerfully and when he turned around annoyed to see who was interrupting him, it turned out to be old Michael, an old friend of his pa. He greeted him politely but when he turned around to watch you a little more it turned out that you already wandered off, sneaky girl.
Philip cursed under his breath but on the other hand he decided to just ask the sheriff about you since he knows that the man has access to all the information about any newcomers to town. It looks like his bored streak came to an end <3

Heyy, can I ask for a Haikyuu matchup please? I saw your post and I thought that it would be actually cool to do.
My personnality is ISFP-T,my zodiac sign is Leo, my pronouns are she/her and I’m straight. I’m a black girl and my height is 5’7, I have 4c black hair and dark brown eyes, I wear glasses. My general style is more like jogging, crop top and jordan, or a cargo and an oversized t shirt. And, from time to time, my style is more like « a baddie ».
About my personality, I’m an ambivert (mix of introvert and extrovert). I’m most introverted and shy with strangers but goofy and dynamic with people I’m comfortable with but I'm quite stubborn and sarcastic. I am known to my friends as « the person who laughs every day and for nothing ». I’m « adventurous » funny and I love to « be chill ». I also know to be serious when it is necessary. I can easily stand up for myself like when something/someone is bothering me I immediately say it (and put people in their place sometimes..) and don’t necessarily need people to help me with this ( but it sometimes depends on the situation).I really like to cuddle, watch Anime/Netflix, just chill and listen to RNB/ US Rap. And finally, I’m collected but have a certain attitude. All that doesn't mean that i'm not polite and respectful because i really am.
IMy ideal type would be someone who would be a little bit more mature than me and « clingy ». He would match my energy and we’d look like bestfriends and a couple at the same time. He would be sarcastic too but protective.
That’s it I think ! I’m honestly sorry if it’s too long, but thank you very much and have a great day ! <3
HII! u did perfect angel <3 (I googled some stuff on ur personality type so if I mention something and u didn't say it I got it from google and if its wrong ... I will be embarrassed)
I'm rlly happy u asked for one! and I'm so sorry if this is short I tried to make it as long as I could
MATCHUPS OPEN!
(romantic)
I match you with...
SUNA:
you guys probably met in like the weirdest way..
like imagine ur turning on netflix, opening your account, about to click your profile and there is another random profile
and ur like tf??
so u delete the random profile and continue on with ur night just wanting to cuddle up under some blankets
and the next day you come home ready to relax in your comfy bed and the profile is back again
this happens like a few more times and eventually you find out it’s this guy names Suna?
atsumu was probably fucking around and found ur acc and gave it to suna because he was too lazy to pay for his subscription
after some minor communication you get sunas number and tell him not to use your account anymore
although you both aren't great at conversations at the start overtime u become more comfortable around each other 
BUT he ends up really enjoying talking to you and says he will pay u the money for the subscription if he can use your account 
monthly payment = more excuses to talk to u
(just pretend for a second there isn't a possibility he could be like a creepy old man or a scammer that could take all of your private info ok?? this is for the sake of romance not logic)
you change the password and then make it a joined account
he confesses to you by making another profile on the account saying that he likes you (atsumus idea cringe ik)
you guys end up going out for a couple dates and the rest is history
the sarcastic energy would be just *chefs kiss*
u bring out all the snarky comments he hides in his head
probably mumbles something under his breath about kita that has u both laughing ur asses off
everyone else in the group just staring at u like ??
obsessed with your glasses
he likes that you're on the taller side
(feeds his ego that he is still taller)
you wanted clingy?? ur getting it with suna
he really likes to sleep and LOVES to fall asleep on you
he really doesn't care what ur doing
he’ll make it work
texts 24/7 of just random shit
he really likes doing simple things with you like grocery shopping or late night snack trips
very chill vibes, everything is super low-key
a lot of go with the flow dates and just seeing what happens
he’s happy with anything as long as he gets to spend it with you
he loves that you're not afraid to speak ur mind and tell people no
despite that he is always very gentle with you and your emotions
and because he's not super talkative he's a great listener
if ur ever upset he will just listen and hug u to make u feel better
silence speaks volumes!!
even if you're not talking, all he needs is your presence to feel complete
overall a very sweet calm relationship!
as always, if u see any spelling errors no u didn’t ..
LOVE YOU GO DRINK SOME WATER, EAT SOME FOOD, AND HAVE A GOOD DAY (NIGHT?)
