already seeing people on Twitter trying to call out their followers for following trump 💀 be so serious that man is now the president whether we like it or not and following him isn't an endorsement of the right wing, it's information. Even potentially valuable information since last time he announced half his policies on Twitter first lmao

like, be concerned if you notice your mutuals following right wing grifters/influences. People who you can actually help "platform" by following them and people who post horrible things. But there is nothing wrong with keeping tabs on a politician currently in power lol. "But I'll see his tweets reposted anyway by journalists or the news" okay that's fine by me but when did it become a moral failing to want to see a primary source

it is impossible for me to feel bad for spinel. have you ever had to deal with anyone like that? it is physically, mentally, emotionally, and sometimes even financially exhausting.

they never take the hint and if you outright tell them to stop they become violent and aggressive (as shown in the movie but this happens regularly irl) and throw a temper tantrum till you finally cave and give them what they want.

i know pink had way more authority but the fact she had to deal with that on top of being abused by the diamonds? no i do not feel bad for spinel bc she turned away and never looked back.

it's just about the only thing i do not blame pink for and think she was justified in.

People defending Caitlyn being a dictator and establishing martial law against a marginalised community have missed the plot.

No, she's not "justified" for being a dictator and endangering the lives of the marginalised.

No, her grief isn't an excuse for her being a dictator.

No, Caitlyn wasn't a supporter of Zaun in s1. She was sympathetic, yes, but her sympathy broke as soon as her mother died. That is not solidarity or support. That's a savior complex.

Caitlyn is classist and a cop. Caitlyn is- get this -a bad person.

And, you can still like her character. No one is saying that you have to hate Caitlyn as a character now that she's a villian. You merely have to acknowledge that she is a villian. This is all believable for her. She's a rich woman from a classist society who looks down upon those beneath her and willing to murder them and segregate them. What a shocker. Go read actual colonial history, btw. Go read Du Bois. Or Frantz Fanon, I beg you. Edward Sayyid is also a good read.

This one was early and I forgot to record some instances but holy shit I get it.

It was kind of like this in Trespasser too but at least it was genuinely new information then.

Unrelated but I wanted to record all the times characters call them "the gods" throughout the entire game because I remember Epler making a comment somewhere about how they wanted the dialogue to "ease new players into the terminology" and iirc the example he gave was that they start out by mostly calling them "the gods" and then transition into calling them "the evanuris." And they definitely Didn't Do That. but it happened so often I just kind of gave up lol.

If there is one thing so many people need to deeply and truly internalize, it is that fear isn't love. You shouldn't be afraid of saying, "no" to somebody, even if you deeply love or care for them. You shouldn't fear what will happen if you are unable to do something for somebody.

Fear is not love. Fear is not patience, respect, or admiration. You can love and be loved without feeling afraid for your well-being, safety, or livelihood. The fact that so many of us are taught that to be loved is to be subjugated and fearful is dangerous, and if that is something you struggle with, you deserved better. You deserve better. Fear is not love.

Actually. Thinking about it because of my last reblog, but to people who get into romantic relationships (including demiro people and such): why do people make it so awkward when an unrequited crush happens?

I've seen people end really strong friendships over the other person having feelings, but if that happened to me I feel like I'd just... be flattered? And take it as a sign that the person really likes me, and be glad? Crushes are just a form of affection, isn't it kind of the same thing as a friend telling you "I really like you as a person"?

If you wanted a relationship with them, it means you like them a lot, but just because they don't return it, you... leave?? Even though you felt that close to them?? Can people not just enjoy the feeling of having a crush and treat it as a casual thing that's just there? Why is it such a big deal. Having a crush is a pretty pleasant feeling from what people say. Just enjoy the feeling. What's the problem here

I know loumand bitched about lestat after sf like the whole "lestat has always been and will always be for lestat" sounds like something they came up with during a bitching session

Kind of confused by the huge support for the 4b movement from non-radfems considering, at least from what I've read, it's a female separatist movement in the same vein as political lesbianism and female exclusive bisexuality (febfem). Like it's not about withholding sex or relationships from men until they improve, it's about "freeing yourself from oppression" by not having AMAB people in your life at all.

Question for you, do you ever tell romantic partners about this blog or your kinks, and if so, how does one go about doing that?

Yes, actually!

I'm gonna preface this with my usual "take my advice with a grain of salt, I'm not you and your partner is not one of my partners" but since it's pertinent and might help with someone's confidence I'll kinda run through how it's happened for me.

I've had 3 serious partners so far through my life, and all three have known about my kinks. In all three cases, it was basically them inquiring about it first, I didn't broach the topic. It was pretty much always an angle of "we should know what the other person is into for relationship reasons", so there was never any prying. I'm always a liiiittle nervous telling people for the first time, since I've had my kinks, specifically my pregnancy kink, very poorly misinterpreted before. But in each case, they were always super chill, there was very light, brief teasing at worst. It never felt bad or like I was being made to share. TBH the thing I've run into most is me going "I have a pregnancy kink" and someone going "oh so like you're into breeding" and I have to go "no, no, not breeding. Not the baby making. Like, pregnancy, like that process and the visuals that come with it. Belly, stretchmarks, waddle, that stuff".

As far as knowing about this blog? That's a smaller sample size, because this blog didn't exist during the first two relationships. The one person I was with at the time did know about it, but it wasn't even a matter of me telling them outright. It was literally like... a little after I did writing commissions back in 2021. We were chatting and discussing "would you write smut for money" and I just straight up went "oh I have lol" and when they asked what platform I told them here on tumblr. It was a pretty one-and-done thing. Very nonchalant. Honestly they respected the hustle more than being jarred that I had a kink blog.

I realize these anecdotes are probably not super helpful, especially if you're looking for ideas to tell a partner about having a kink blog. The reason I didn't feel the need to like... expressly "come clean" about it is because, at least for me and my partner at the time, we didn't need to know each others full internet presence. If you think the person you're dating would be upset to learn that you have a kink blog that they don't know about, then maybe it's a priority? But honestly, it's... functionally like owning a porn collection. It's just digital, and people can follow it, but really that's kind of all it is? It's not traditional "two people banging" type porn but like, we know why we're here. IMO it's not something super important that needs announcing, unless your partner is looking for ideas of what you like to spice things up.

if an artist says their turnaround time is usually a week and that they should be done with your specific commission by the end of the week, then goes nearly three weeks without saying something, is it OK to ask them for an update on your commission? I'm a bit torn on whether I should wait a whole month
