People keep talking about the whimpering horror podcast men and how distracting it can be but as a (maybe) asexual person, all I ever heard were men in pain. Other people find the whimpering weirdly erotic while I hear a guy in desperate need of a Hospital and a Therapist

multiple things can be true at once

1) the allegations against neil gaiman seem very likely to be true, because i cannot fucking imagine that having sex with an employee relying on you and your money to avoid homelessness (and starting within a few HOURS of meeting her) could ever be a situation with unproblematic consent

2) the podcast seems to be very exploitative – first, the use of ads/sponsorships; second, the sensationalism of the story and using dramatic music and editing; and third, its general anti-BDSM narrative and it is deeply fucked up to use victims’ stories to put forward your own narrative or agenda

3) this being reported by rachel johnson just has terrible vibes, i am absolutely with everybody on this, i don’t believe she has the victims’ best interests at heart and i am suspicious of her personal motivations

some lesbian thoughts on elrond & galadriel

The dynamic between Elrond and Galadriel, despite being central to the show, sometimes feels under-appreciated in the fandom. Like many relationships in TROP, it doesn’t easily slot into a single category. It’s not merely one of friendship or kinship or mentorship

It’s not romantic, but it is emotionally intimate—and that seems to trip a lot of people up, even before 2x07. We’ve always appreciated how emotionally open Galadriel and Elrond are with each other, particularly given how guarded Galadriel is with most other characters.

She and Elrond have a long history prior to their reunion in the first episode, and during the course of the show they rely on each other as they navigate disappointment and loss, both personal and as relates to elven-kind.

They don’t always see eye to eye, but even when Elrond feels hugely betrayed by Galadriel’s choices, it doesn’t erode the love between them.

They’ve been separated during their respective darkest moments, but find solace and healing in each other’s presence. They bring light into each other’s lives, and together will be instrumental in banishing the rising darkness.

One of the strengths of Tolkien's work, and one of the reasons fans (including queer fans like us) return to these stories time and again, is the focus on platonic bonds that defy societal norms through the strength of their intimacy and commitment.

Of all the relationships we've seen on the show so far, Galadriel and Elrond embody this wonderful category-defying emotional intimacy most of all.

An IRL friend of mine recently suggested I cut back on posting content because "maybe a dozen or two dozen people" like my posts and they weren't sure why I bothered when there was no money or engagement in it.

I definitely felt a bit like that a few years back, particularly when I'd see people repost my scans on other platforms and get tens of thousands of likes. If I'd shifted platforms and focused on engagement that could well have been me.

However, that's not really what I've ever been about. I share what I share because I like it and want other people who like these works to enjoy what I have in my collection too (or to discover new works they might not have encountered). Nobody has to engage with what I post though, I could get 0 likes/reblogs and I'd still keep plugging away because ultimately this is just a hobby and I'm just a fan.

I don't want to harp on with the cheesy "you should do things for yourself first and foremost" with hobbies, but at the end of the day my affection for certain series and artists won't evaporate just because my posts about them aren't popular on Tumblr.

I've been here for 14 years and have only just hit 10,000 followers. I'm not an important internet person by any stretch of the imagination and I think that's OK. If I'd been angling for something beyond simply being a fan of certain things, I can see how this might be considered failure. For me (personally) though, I don't feel like my hobby needs to have any form of hustle attached to it. This is what I do to express my affection for things.

Not everyone will feel the same way as I do about sharing content online and that's fine, we're all individuals and we engage with things differently. I just wanted to express this while the thoughts were still fresh in my mind.

Enjoy your hobbies in the ways that work for you. You'll find people who appreciate your contributions (big or small) wherever you go online and if you move onto different fandoms or hobbies, you'll find new folks who like what you do there too. Just don't feel locked into numbers as the ultimate way of judging your own love for media.

Something about Johns return in season 3 and how he had been driven to do seemingly horrible things in the dark world for countless years and was literally living in a hell that he never wanted to go back to and he was still able to bring Arthur back from total corruption. Despite everything he had been though and the terrible things he had been forced to do he still had enough humanity in him to see and understand that what Arthur was doing was wrong and needed to be stopped. He still had empathy for those trapped in the mines and wanted to save them even though no one would have blamed him if he came back as batshit crazy as Arthur was during season 3. His time with Arthur and humanity left such an impact on him that he was able to cling to that even while living in actual hell. Enough that he was able to come back and become Arthurs sense of morality and reality.

hi penumbra fandom I'm new 👀 anyways

please envision with me. Peter Nureyev going undercover to steal a temporary memory altering device but when he steals it it malfunctions and bam amnesia trope, but consider

the people he has gone undercover for tells him "who he is" which is the fake identity so he tries to be that but vague memories of Juno keep leaking through, even though he thinks he's someone else

Juno gets worried and goes in there (undercover as well) and when Nureyev sees him his mind immediately goes. hello you are so so important to me and it scares me. at the same time he still thinks he's this other person and he can't make it fit. Juno can't say anything immediately because he can't blow their cover, so he has to get Nureyev alone and then try to convince him.

do we delve into angsty territory? or hella flirty? both??

I feel like there must already be a fic out there about this
