Oh goddness…better close up asks for now folks…

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT.

asks are immediately going off for a while due to rumours of people planning to send blogs of certain fandoms with their asks on gore of children. i don’t know how true these claims are, but i’d rather not risk it. i’m pretty desensitised to gore, but i don’t think i want to see REAL gore of children. if you have your asks open, i’d recommend you shut them until january. the date of the raid is unknown, but rumoured to be around this time until january, the most specific time i’ve found being december 25th.

stay safe out there.

some of the authors of Project 2025 & what positions they had in the Trump administration.

he can deny all he wants but he has too many connections to the Heritage Foundation & Project 2025. want to know why he doesn't talk about his "policies"? besides being a narcissist, Project 2025 IS his set of policies.

take this seriously & don't stop talking about it! check your registration status often & vote early if you can! if not early then have a plan on November 5th. we can do this 💙

I was just reading about "Agenda 47" and I am so fuckin terrified of Trump winning this election. He wants to take a way all of the protections that the queer community, poc community, etc have fought so hard for. He doesnt believe that anyone outside of his demographic is a valid human deserving of rights.

I am so fucking terrified.

PLEASE if you don't want trump as president, go and vote against him! GO MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED AND THEN GO VOTE.

And PLEASE educate the people around you who think that Trump "isn't that bad" or some shit like that. PLEASE let them know what he's actually like. What his plans actually are

I'm so fucking scared. I have never been scared to live in the US. I have never been scared of my country, but now I am.

I knew Trump was terrible, but I never knew he was THIS terrible

PLEASE GO OUT THERE AND VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS

I'M BEGGING YOU

Pets don’t know what is going on when fireworks start going off. They are scared and confused, often going into panic. Please consider foregoing fireworks for your celebrations. For more info visit the PDSA help and advice website

Here is a reminder the autistic people work differently. If I am shaking because I’m standing in the middle of sand does not mean I’m scared in fact, it means I’m extremely uncomfortable.

We all work differently but here is your reminder to treat your autistic person fairly and listen to them when they don’t want to do something

i’m making this post now so that i do not have to make a fight out of it later: my kindness should never be made into something of violence. if you are of the belief that any action i take to promote or advocate for innocent life is equal to devaluing another life, i’m not sure what to say. wanting a ceasefire or desiring peace shouldn’t be a targeted response to anybody. i do my greatest to listen and to learn.

this should be evident as well, but i will be clear about this too: i most definitely do not stand for the diminishing of or targeting of groups under the guise of supporting one over the other.

The problem with the romance genre, perhaps more particularly the romantasy genre, is that it is romanticising toxicity.

Now, don't take this the wrong way - I am in no shape or form saying you should not enjoy a book just because it does this. The whole point behind a lot of these books (bearing in mind the majority of this post will address romantasy books, as I am better versed in them than the more run-of-the-mill romance books) is that they are fiction. They are not supposed to be a reflection of real life, or a guide to it. So we should not justify fictional red-flags in real life.

Everyone has faults, but there is a huge difference between a flaw and a toxic trait. The romanticism of toxicity in books is primarily so dangerous because it is not talked about enough, and so is not acknowledged; surely, this is even more dangerous in the romantasy genre, where the removal from our world makes resulting justifications unconscious.

This post is a little bit all over the place, a collection of half strung together thoughts, but I hope it gets you to reflect more on the relationships between characters in books. Violence for love is not always a good thing, nor is jealousy. 'Protective' is fine, but there is a line that should not be crossed between protective and possessive, and that line is becoming hopelessly blurred. This is just one example. Please, please remember: your life doesn't stop at the end of a few hundred pages, or after three books. It continues well beyond that, and whilst some traits may be endearing at first, it is important to recognise that after a bit of time they may become stifling. Do not hurt yourself in an attempt to live a fictional life - those lives are fictional for a reason.

Additionally, this romanticism is feeding into the 'I can fix them' movement. By justifying these traits, you are telling people that it is okay to behave in this manner, to treat others in this manner. Whilst I am not discounting that people can change and grow, and some perhaps need help from others to do this, I cannot emphasise enough just how dangerous this is. People should be held to a standard for a reason, and you should not settle for less.

I hope I have made you think. The romanticism of toxicity is something that needs to be discussed more by readers, and even media producers. You will sabotage your chance at a happy ending if you try too hard to emulate these fictional idols in fictional worlds, cultures, and societies.

Finally, remember that you can enjoy reading about an unhealthy relationship, you can find toxic characters hot or the like - just recognise, even to yourself, that the traits/relationships are toxic and harmful. That you would not actually want that in real life, with your circumstances and experiences, and without the character's unlikely wealth/magic etc.

Do not settle for less because a fiction book has taught you that it is acceptable. It is not.

the extremist right that wants to implement Project 2025 wants to decide how this society handles sex. it's not abortion or contraception (INCLUDING CONDOMS) they want to ban but porn, too. they will decide what is considered porn & will make not just LGBTQIA+ folks suffer but librarians, too. they want a very misinformed populace so now vulnerable people like children won't be able to tell if something that is happening to them could be abuse or not.

the possibilities are endless when it comes to this. they hate sex & want to punish you for having safe, fun, & casual sex & yet they literally blow up Grindr whenever they all come together because they hate themselves so much & misery loves company. they want to punish anyone who could teach you anything that would indicate they're evil & hypocritical & what they're doing will fuck up all of our lives. it's a chain reaction. DON'T STO TALKING ABOUT PROJECT 2025!!!!
