Because I have no one to talk to about this, I saw something very disturbing on Tumblr yesterday, it was a suicidal 13 year old, it hurt my heart so much to see.

The account was three days old (by post history) were tagging the map tag and a bunch of other awful things, but they were wanting to be killed or seemed to want *any* social contact. They were also asking for help, I picked up the implications they were being sexually abused at home and had no friends or safe people. Before the pedophiles rolled up, they were trying to get help/talk to an adult about what they could do. There were dozens of visible pedophiles interacting with their blog. Dozens. No one was trying to help. There were three dozen red flags, but this obviously was a cry for help, seemingly only being visible or heard by predators.

I sent in an ask, I forgot all I said, but it was long. I was essentially pleading with them not to interact with those people, that whatever was going on in life, these people only wanted to worsen that for their own gain, and that things would get better once they were out of whatever household their were in. I really hope it worked, the account is gone. I just really hope I reached them.

Reminded me of my sibling slightly and moreso of my best friend from school who had put themselves through similar things when that age for what I see as similar reasons. That hurt so badly to see. I hope more than anything that I reached them.

You want Keefe to suffer because you hate him

I want Keefe to suffer because I love him

We are not the same <3

(Nah but Keefe isn't the only one I beat up in writing, my OC from my book, Erebus, has gotten nearly shot idk how many times I am ABUSIVE to him 😅)

i've said this before and i'll say it again: if keefe magically became a real person, he'd be more scared of keefe lovers than he would be of keefe haters. i think he would be entirely indifferent to my existence but terrified of yours. and i don't really want keefe to suffer. he gets more annoying and cringy every time he suffers so

and it's like i always say: there's no story if the mc isn't going through some sort of trauma the entire time. or at least it would be a hella boring story if they weren't

All I’m going to say I think now that my brain remembered part of what it was thinking is that Taylor and Joe went through a lot together (good and bad) and regardless of how it ended or what led to it they both seem to be determined to keep that private and not throw each other under the bus and in the end they’re just two very, very different people whose outlooks in the long term were just never going to align and never has that been clearer.

I imagine the underlying principle of being upset by the proposed TikTok ban is that hatred of government regulation trumps all other hatreds, which makes sense, but it's weird to see how many people apparently love TikTok now, after I thought we all agreed it was in fact the worst thing in the world and that it poisoned the internet and our species incurably

If Ralph breaks the internet was awesome they would’ve had a part where Ralph and Vanellope load into a new game and they look over and see a crowd of people T-posing and they’re like. (whispering) what are those people doing……..

so then taylor could be like "we need more algorithms" & winston could be like scoff ha & taylor could go "you think this is funny?" & winston goes "i think it's hilarious. i think everyone would probably think it's hilarious" & taylor goes "what's that supposed to mean" & winston goes "it means you should remember who your employees are" & taylor's like "i thought the only reason you even worked for me is because of your health insurance" & winston goes "so?" & taylor goes "so maybe the only reason you work for me, winston, is because [it's not my fault you're like in love with me or something]" & winston's like "i could tell everyone everything" & taylor goes "great why don't you go ahead & do that. tell everyone how you helped write emails pretending to be a [fracking legal in ny in billions universe]" & winston goes ahead & does that or is like fuck you taylor asshole or they make out or some other thing even

vash and knives are each other's antithesis not because vash is kind and knives is cruel, but because vash thinks the best of people and knives thinks the worst

so many people just hear "dick was a cop" and go "eww im gonna pretend i didnt see that" and like. if its just bc you cant handle the subject matter thats one thing, but often times its just. performative. especially because the actually storyline is so much about dick trying (and as far as ive gotten to reading so far, failing) to make a change in the system and be a "good cop". it's an extremely heavy but genuinely very interesting storyline. dick does find other "good cops", but they're very much the minority and usually keep their heads down, because cops are bastards and will ruin the lives of "fellow officers" who try and do things right. they try to frame dick for murder at one point and everything.
