#we arent breaking any boundaries

Today on "people need to touch some fucking grass": man doesn't understand that cats are fine with more types of interaction with humans when they know the human in question wont hurt them, as if that's not exactly how relations between humans also work

[hazshit-hotel-hater]

What ships do you do not like?

Im saving Huskerdust for last. I have way too much shit to say.

Aside from weird illegal ones and also disgusting ones, I am a very big Sir Pentious x Cherri Bomb disliker. It couldve been good but theres like no chemistry and Cherri doesn’t seem to actually like Pentious for any reasons other than he kissed her and then exploded and also weird double penis joke. Said it before, I’ll say it again, Cherri does not need a boyfriend she needs character development. If you’re interested in more of my hatred I have this rant abt it here

Valentino x Vox is another that I hate. I feel like I don’t need to explain why but I will anyway. I know they’re technically not canon anymore, but idk how I’m supposed to enjoy a ship between two characters when one is Valentino and also knowing that it was previously canon that Valentino has shattered Vox’s screen multiple times. Honestly you can’t even be like “well the voxtagram posts arent canon anymore so he’s not abusing vox” because you’re like objectively wrong. In the first couple shots we see of Vox and Valentino together Vox has an entire glass thrown at his head. Very important detail, he nonchalantly dodges it implying that while we know this is a common occurrence for Valentino to have violent breakdowns, it is also a common occurrence for Valentino to throw things at him or try to injure him in some way. Not to mention he seems very unsurprised when Valentino takes his phone and breaks that as well. Vox is also forced to walk on eggshells around this guy with how he talks to him. There’s literally no way for it to be healthy at all.

While I love the concept of Charlie and Vaggies relationship, it’s entirely brought down by Vivzies inability to write women and her lack of care for wlw relationships. There’s a lot of good rants about this, but I have so little substance to mention on these two it’s kind of hard to talk on. Vaggie doesn’t have much character development and Charlie is just incompetent all the time in the canon show and the only interesting stuff we got was from episode 7 (very good episode btw)

Any Alastor ship ever. End.

I do not like Huskerdust a lot of the time. I don’t enjoy how the fandom does it a lot of the time because they don’t really consider the others boundaries and just are like “well they like each other now so they should kiss!” And I disagree with that very hard. For how it is in the show, the best i've seen is the little bit in episode 8 which I really do enjoy but obviously there was no build up to it really so I hardly have much to grasp and I have to do everything myself. Relationships take a long time. That goes hand in hand with my rewrite also. Angel has harassed Husk and other people multiple times and that’s not okay obviously but for some reason no one acknowledges that?? The first step of them ever getting together or even being friends for that matter is Angel apologising. I will be mentioning my fuckass rewrite again just as an example of what I’d do, so I apologise! Everything from this chunk till the end is about how my friend and I have tried to fix this dumb relationship. It’d take him a little to mention it, but for how I’ve done it with my friend he ends up going out to dinner with Husk after rewritten episode 4 events and after getting texts from Valentino he starts reflecting on how bad Valentino and other people objectifying makes him feel and has that “..shit im doing that to other people.” And they have a little talk about it where Angel apologises for acting that way and tells Husk to call him out if he started doing it again on accident.

And it's not a quick fix conversation either, they aren’t magically best friends now and they don’t suddenly start being lovey with each other, Angel doesn’t even list Husk as a friend yet in his mind and has a bit where he only lists two people as his friends. There’s also bits of rewriting where Angel is yelling at Husk and ends up getting upset to the point he indirectly hurts Husk by throwing a wine bottle at him and Husk steps on the glass while he’s walking out. They talk it out again and Angel has another small crisis about potentially starting a cycle of abuse because his own trauma is shaping how violently he reacts to minor situations. Both of them need to work on themselves before they do anything. Especially Angel when he’s developed a habit of snapping and has a mindset that he needs to physically fight any potential threat away from him and it's leading him to actually hurt people. While that isn’t the sole reason he's in hell he's still in hell he is an objectively bad person and Husk has his own problems too especially when dealing with Angel specifically, both of them have an issue of pushing blame off themselves or shaming the other in overly stressful situations even if they don’t mean to. Husk has a tendency to shame Angel for his coping mechanisms and even if he's well intentioned with his criticism he gives it in a very uncaring and harsh way and will sometimes default to saying “I didn’t actually care in the first place” even if he does. They currently are not ready to be in a relationship together by any means, but fights help them reflect on themselves and of course at least Angel is at the hotel to be a better person. Charlie talks to him often and shows him it’s okay to confide in other people but that he doesn’t need to tell someone everything and that he can keep things to himself, and then the help from Charlie leads to Angel apologising again and trying to do the same for Husk like listening to him talk about his own issues and then giving input on them or just casual banter and so on. Both of them desperately need to work on themselves and they’re trying to do it together and I think when they're ready they’ll probably the best matches for each other, but you can’t just skip over the issues, the issues are the entire point of growing, that's why they are at the hotel.

1. how did you first find out about agere in general?

2. how did u first find out that you were a regressor?

4. does your music taste change when you’re regressed? if so, how?

5. which fictional characters do you most relate to (or kin) when you’re little? do you still relate to them when you’re not regressed?

7. what most often makes you regress?

12. what’s something typically associated with agere (pacis, babbling, bluey, etc) that you don’t do?

16. what’s a niche or unpopular interest you associate with your regression?

18. which (if any) fictional characters do you think would be littles?

20. what’s something you wish you knew about agere when you first found out about it?

A WHOLE Bunch of them! I LOVE learning!!!

YAAAAY A BUNCH!!

1 from looking up kidcore on tumblr as a teen! i went from just appreciating the aesthetic to wanting to actually age regress pretty fast

2 i guess the above kind of answers that xD but it helps i actually had a friend in high school who was also a regressor! we had a lot of fun in sleepovers

4 ACOUSTICSSSS i Love acoustics when im regressed, and anything calm and lullaby sounding. piano, guitar, and music boxes r very soothing to me ^w^

5 hmm that kind of depends on which wishy is out! as eevee wishy... well, eevee xD and the others r fairly self explanatory (basil is headspace basil, puppyboy is a puppy or tails the fox, anime girl wishy is any cute young anime girl) i guess just bc agere and being childlike is very Intrinsic to the wishy

7 music! its my biggest regression trigger

12 specifically deco pacies -w- id be afraid to break them! and also babbling, i talk a little different but not straight up babbling

16 dragon ball z!!! cuz i watched it as a bio little kid so its very nostalgic to me, i love thinking of dbz characters as my caregivers

18 outside of my and my systems kins.. i would say glamrock chica, kokomi genshin, silver the hedgehog, and i know i headcanon trunks as my caregiver but i think he would also be a flip and regress to like 8 or 9! as a way to sort of get the calm, peaceful childhood he never got to have (future trunks ofc, i dont think present timeline trunks would actually be much of a regressor) he'd still be caregiving a little bit when regressed but thats cuz hes like my big brother then ^w^

20 that kinky people Arent Evil and in fact we can all hold paws and be niceys so long as we're respectful to each other and dont push boundaries! i am holding paws with all my kinky little mutuals

[zebulontheplanet]

do you ever hate those "is it okay to reblog?" asks? personally i find them so offensive. theyre so scared of accidentally speaking over you that they dont even treat you like a normal person over the internet, the most equal of all playing fields. it's so infantilizing... this isnt ragebait btw im genuinely curious how you feel when people ask permission to interact with you online. to me it comes across like they arent treating you like an equal & think that mentioning your borderline ID is like saying a slur, so they have to ask the person who can say the slur if it's okay beforehand. like your borderline ID is a dirty topic that shouldnt be talked about. that's how to looks to me when people ask before reblogging posts about borderline ID. how do you feel about it? sorry im rambling im not good at writing coherently.

Hi! No hate at all. I get where you’re coming from. I think when people are interacting with my blog, they just want to be respectful, and not overstep any boundaries. They’re curious. Especially as someone with a small, but still quite big blog with a decent follower base.

I don’t think people have ill intentions, however I could be wrong. People are curious when it comes to borderline ID and intellectual disabilities. It’s something they don’t hear about everyday, it’s something that IS talked about like it’s a slur. People are afraid of it and that’s why I talk about it so much.

I know people don’t see me as a equal, and I’m learning to accept that to an extent. Sometimes, I get upset about it and sometimes I learn to accept it because there is nothing I can do and I honestly don’t want to waste my already very limited energy.

For me, I try and see the best in people. That includes online, so when people are asking me if they have permission, my first thought Is that they’re just making sure. However, I do understand where you’re coming from.

People are overly careful when it comes to interacting with me. They see me as fragile almost, like someone they have to care for or make sure they’re not offending like I might break. It’s like in real life, people will often talk to my sister or mother first before talking to me because they assume I can’t talk for myself, or think I’m not able too.

This is tumblr, I try not to be to offended by things on here because it’s such a SMALL thing in my life. I do this because I enjoy it, I enjoy educating and telling people about my story.

I get what you mean, and I think a lot of times, this might be the case. However, sometimes it’s not. We can’t be for certain because I don’t know the person. I’ll probably never know the person. I can’t know what someone’s true intentions are, and I’m ok with that.

[webginz]

god i hate HATE when i bring up something i dont like and someone goes "well i dont like when you do x but i dont complain about it" WHAT?!?!? JUST TELL ME! i dont get it? if you dont like when i do or say certain things, just tell me and ill stop doing it! why do these things only get brought up when i ask for something???

rant/vent about my dad ahead, sorry

i told my parents i hate how everytime we eat lunch together, it turns into talk about politics and political arguments. i just want to enjoy some time with them talking about something happy. my dad got mad at me and told me he hates when i talk about my nerdy interests with him. THEN WHY DO YOU LISTEN AND ENGAGE WITH ME? WHY DONT YOU JUST SAY "HEY CAN WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE" BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD HE NEVER HAS.

i dont talk about my nerdy interests that often, especially not when its the three of us and we have limited time together (like lunch breaks) so i dont know why he brought that up specifically!! i just wanna talk about regular small talk or like relevant to us stuff! his comment felt so random and mean for no reason!!!!

i listen to him tell me about the youtube videos he likes, star trek, and the matrix and other stuff like that even if i have little to no interest in it!!! why did he wait to tell me he doesnt care about what i have to say when i brought up the ONE thing id rather not talk about?

its like i can never have any sort of boundaries or pushback with him!!! this whole thing might seem stupid but it really hurt my feelings. me and my dad are both nerds and thats how weve bonded my whole life. and now he says he just put up with it and *i* couldnt tell he didnt care? like its my fault because im bad at picking up on social cues?? JUST SAY SOMETHING!!!!

its like how if i bring up how hell react badly to certain things, or how he gets angry easily,he says stuff like "oh so i just cant do anything at all?" "im just the worst dad in the world arent i?" it makes me FREAK OUT! how am i supposed to respond to that?!?

[my-castles-crumbling]

hi cas just going to vent(/kind of ask you for advice?)

so. my friend, lets call her M, texted me today frantically bc her bf, lets call him W (very creative names here haha), broke up with her. then, he said it was because theyre too young to date and could they wait two more years. she said no, thats a really long time, i dont want that long of a break - just end it or dont. he then asked if they could do what ___ and ___ does (another couple at our school), which basically is they both like each other but arent actually dating, and they only talk a little. which, i thought it was weird to compare to another couple, but sure. M asked W if hes ok and does he need space, and he said no, and then promptly followed it up with "i need some space to think about this". LIKE??? then he said the last thing he wanted to do was break up, and they should stay how they are. and THEN he said they should take a break until the summer and he wants to go on nice dates when theyre back together. finally, he said he felt like he wasnt "perfect enough" for her -- which makes me so mad, because she never said anything to put him down like that.

then the conversation shifted. M was talking to her friend H along with me and some others, and W knew she was talking to H. (W and H do not like each other btw). W, talking about H, told M to "tell her we broke up, just to mess with her". "say you cheated on me or something". M of course said no, and W said "gaslight her" "why not". i feel like this is super, super weird, even though W doesnt like that H can kind of interfere with the relationship - which is valid but STILL. and i also find it weird that W wants the blame to be on M -- SHE cheated on HIM.

M says if W does another big thing, she'll end it. but i don't know what to do, because he's done things similar to this before. after abt a month of dating, he broke up with her, just to ask to get back together barely a day later. i dont know, this just feels really weird to me.

i just wanted to vent, so thank you, and if you have any advice that would be deeply appreciated. if not, its totally fine, i know this is a lot.

from, M&W anon

Hi!

So...it sounds like W wants to have his cake and eat it too lol. Like...he wants to have control over M, but not have to do anything relationship-y with her. It's totally valid to want to break up because he feels too young to date. But to ask her to wait around or to lie to friends is a red flag. He needs to decide what he wants, and your friend has ever right to set a boundary and tell him that, in my opinion. Relationships are about communication, after all. And if he doesn't know? She shouldn't have to wait around for him.

boundaries

i will never, under ANY circumstances write something that breaks someone’s boundaries. for me, RPF relies on using a persons face and basic traits and writing a version of them that exists in stories in my head. however that does NOT MEAN their boundaries are not important. regardless of the context, if the real person is in anyway the “face claim” of either the written version of themself, or a character of themselves i wrote, i will NEVER break their boundaries.

if i do so, it is not knowingly. do NOT vaguepost about me doing so either because i am autistic and will not understand. if i am breaking a person’s boundaries i WANT TO KNOW before you block me or just call me a shit person.

also, ive stated this before on my blog, but i will never write NSFW content. i may included suggestive jokes and things that are more on the PG-13 side (like making out) but i am asexual. i am not comfortable writing NSFW or even reading about it. making jokes about NSFW stuff is fine (again within that person’s boundaries, my OWN boundaries included) and i find NSFW humor pretty funny and often write it. but NSFW content will never be something that i outright produce in general. im not comfortable with it.

more of my boundaries

- i will never reveal my face on here. it is a safety thing and a privacy thing (irls that like wilbur for example) please do not ask me for any clues about what i look like. if i don’t reference it or supply it myself, i dont want to talk about it

- i have made vague mentions to where i live, specifically by saying the state and that i live in a big city. do not try to find anything else out

- i have been put in danger because of the internet before. both actual danger (stalking) and perceived danger (paranoia, mental instability) so do not even make JOKES about my privacy or knowing what i look like. it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable

- do not joke about SA on my page. i have written fics covering SA recovery because it is something that i have dealt with and i use it to cope. this does not mean you can just joke about it or traumadump with no warning

- dont call me pet names if we arent friends. point blank.

- i have been given death threats over discourse before to the point that seeing any mention of discourse makes me start to panic. do not involve me in discourse. however, if there is something going on that you think i should be aware of, or if i speak out of turn on something i dont know enough about, feel free to tell me in the DMs, just give a valid trigger warning.

- again, im not comfortable with NSFW works. i will not read them so do not ask me to. i will not write them so do not ask me to. it does not matter if the character is real or fictional. it makes me uncomfortable

- if you are below the age of 16, dont dm me or try to actively talk to me. even if my blog is not NSFW, im not comfortable talking to people below that age. the only exception is if you need a safe space to come to and tell someone about another adult online who is harassing you, i am always willing to help out in those situations.

- DO NOT BLAME ME FOR THE ACTIONS OF MY MUTUALS. I AM NOT THEM. i cannot control people, and i am not on here enough to be policing people that i interact with. i have a life outside of this site.

i may add more in the future. im not sure yet

[spade-club]

Just spent time with my sister again, everything was super great, I was really glad to be getting out and away from everything for a bit. Came home to my partner and couldnt help but feel so much pain at all the situations they've put me in. I cant even be in the same room as them without reliving all of it. Every breakdown in response to me setting a boundary. Every instance of them cheating (on me and otherwise.) Every "just do it" that I've suffered through because they, I guess forgot I was disabled and my whine of dreading the simple-to-them task wasnt a good enough reminder. (Last one is maybe a little on me, I could be clearer, they are autistic) and I just. I dont want to keep going through this. I've lost my life to this. I cant front anymore bc home is a hostile environment & I can't go out anymore because they dont want me to go out without them. I struggle making my own friends because they insist on being around & people tend not to like them. I feel so insane for letting us keep this life but the other option is we break up and still live together & thats even worse!!! I got myself into a reeeealll situation. And if you ask any other me about this (except Cloud, my homie) they'd absolutely say that they're happy here. I just hate that they arent allowed to see this whole picture so they want to stick around here. I mean, I'm glad I can be happy in a bad situation. I'm glad there are good parts getting me through. I'm glad I dont always have to be around to take all of the bad shit. But because I am going through it and I want to stop suffering, I have to stop everyone else's fun to help myself. I become the bad guy.

[allamericansbitch]

I think it can be tricky because even if most gaylors believe in the possibility she may be other than straight, not all of them behave that way or speculate about her life even. People just don't want or care enough to realize this but the truth is that there are awful, obsessive people as in any other fandom and among straight swifties as well, not just gaylors. So when I see posts going around calling out gaylors about something gross an specific group of people did, or saying they're all disgusting pieces of shit that should choke or die, I can't help being offended as a gay fan who likes to queer code her lyrics so I can apply them to my life, without speculating about her sexuality. And that's how many normal gaylors can be offended and take it as homophobic. I just think we should all be a little bit more careful about the words we use and not generalize because the line can be so thin and confused and become really serious (like a couple of days ago, when a 14 year old popped into someone's ask saying that they've been told to kill themselves just because of wishing Taylor was gay and identifying themselves as a gaylor, for example)

i agree that language can be really tricky, especially when it's about something that doesnt really have 1 single definition and can be something as innocent as just simply being someones sexual identity or as problematic as speculating about a strangers. this is the reason i specified in my post saying 'those gaylors' (as in the ones bothering maya) and not just in general, simply because it can mean different things to different people.

and i also agree that gaylors (the speculating kinds) arent the only bad part of the fandom. any fan that theorizes on taylors personal life are invasive and cross boundaries. the fans who went to taylors old house on cornelia street when the news of the break up broke, that's weird and invasive. the fans who swore they were already married with children are crossing boundaries. we as a fandom need to learn to just enjoy her music and once she releases a song it is no longer solely connected to her personal life.

like you said, your story is yours and you listen to her songs through a queer lens, because that you. that belongs to you and you have every right to see it through you're own view. what's crossing the line forcing that view onto someone who didnt ask for it, which is taylor. people who speculate on her sexuality are taking their personal life and projecting it onto her, an nonconsenting party, when it's not hers. it's theirs. and the exact same thing can be said about straight fans, they can listen to the exact same song and see it through their own lens, as they should. but instead some decide to only see it through the lens of the theorized personal life of taylors they have just completely fictionalized based on other songs. like how fans are theorizing taylor picking the surprise songs on tour based on how she feels about joe now, every comment under her performance of 'you're not sorry' was like 'omggg shes so mad what did joe do??' like that is none of our business. she is literally just singing a song of hers.

like she herself as said before, once a song is released it is no longer hers. it's ours. so why are people forcing her onto the meaning when she herself said she doesnt want that. make it your own without her being involved in any way.

i've said this before but this fandom needs to grow up and stop analyzing gossip and pretending to know anything about taylors life behind the curtain and start relating to songs the healthy way, which is applying it to their own life and their life alone.

[violentivy]

We began this year much the same way we began 2022. We played games with a few friends while my bestie streamed.

I wondered why we hadn't done it much this year. Then I remembered; I used to be the one who organized it back when I had extra time and nothing more to do.

My bestie desparately needs a PA.

And several miracles.

We're working on the latter.

Now that I have some road between me and the clusterfuck that was 2018, 2019, 2020 and the beginning of 2021, I'm able to breathe better.

Self help and therapy tok helped me. I know I still have a lot of healing to do, but I'm better able to set boundaries, and I can get through most days without breaking down, and I can usually cut a depressive episode off at the pass.

I used to catastrophize a lot, and I still find myself falling into the habit from time to time.

Things arent perfect, but now that my husband is secure in his identity, I feel as though we are on better footing overall.

So this year we stayed home, played among us and drank champagne, a rare treat for me. I fucking love champagne, but I seldom feel like I have any reason to celebrate.

Anyway, it's time for breakfast, and to determine what song belongs to this year, which if standard operating procedures for the past few years stand, may not be for a few months yet. It's ok, I'll bide my time.

My middle son will be 16 this year, my oldest son 18 and their younger brother 13. My daughter will be 24. I am not sure how I have children above the legal drinking age but this is where we are.

Happy New Year ❤️

[irl-ichi]

i am going to lose my FREAKING mind 🙃

after the huge fight where my sister told my mom my partner was touching my chest and i tried explaining it wasnt sexual mom said it would take some getting used to this new generations ideas of boundaries and intentions etc etc and that the ONLY rule we have is no sex in their house

okay fair enough. i wanted to go to partners house next week for a few days since were always here and quite frankly i want a break. their parents are out of town for like another week so all rides would have to be from my parents. at first dad said "since you made that picture for me ill take you there" thinking it was only a day thing.... when i said it was like 5 days he said no their parents arent home and Girl And Boy Alone In House No

and im just like 🙃 cause this would make sense if i was 14 but i am freakin TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD. i am their OLDEST child. and the youngest has a license and car he can drive to any girls house whenever he wants to do god knows what! i told dad i wasnt planning on doing anything sexual (a lie) but im also frustrated cause if i am why is it his business? "its my business because i have to deal with the mental and financial turmoil" AS FAR AS WE KNOW IM YOUR ONLY KID USING CONDOMS!! i am trying to NOT be pregnant!! trust me i dont want that either!!!!! but i AM an adult i have desires and wants of my own! even my partners mom was like "why do they care? shes 24 O_o" i bet YOU werent holding yourself back at my age you hypocrite god im so sick of men and im so sick of suffocating

[omegawolverine]

👀 mcc discourse? /gen

okay mcc discourse time everyone strap in

the three things i see people being pissed about most often are the lack of lgbt+ people in the event, the specific lgbt+ creators playing and, of course, technoblade being involved. so, let's break down why all three of these things are fucking dumb.

1) "there isnt enough lgbt+ creators".

this would be a fair argument that i could get behind...if not for the way mcc is set up for this specific event—and by that i mean it is a youtube sponsored event. the ccs involved need to have platforms on youtube to be able to participate to begin with, as it is a charity event. mcc doesn't have a lot of lgbt+ streamers involved this time around because a lot of those streamers straight up could not stream this event and scott literally said this himself.

on top of that, this isnt a "get invited and you can play!" event, it is a "you need to apply to be involved" event, meaning, if people dont meet the deadline, or they dont apply at fucking all, they cant play. that's not on fucking scott or anyone organizing mcc, that is on the ccs (if they even wanna be involved, i could not blame them for avoiding mcc after last times mess) who didnt apply in time/at all.

2) "there isnt enough diversity in the lgbt+ streamers" aka "im erasing people's identities and, again, disregarding the literal qualifications for this mcc which include having a youtube platform"

i keep seeing people bring up how every lgbt+ person in mcc is white and able bodied and neurotypical etc etc (which is an inaccurate statement anyways) as reasons why they "arent good enough" or they're bringing up how there "isnt any of [x] sexuality/gender involved" as if that's the organizers faults and i uh. i hate to break it to yall but, again, this is an apply to get in event. if these ccs that were "more diverse" (bc why the fuck are we referring to these ccs playing in fucking minecraft championship as some weird ass diversity characters instead of real life people who are more than their race, disability, etc.) met the requirements and were lgbt+ but just didnt apply, while a lot of other white, cis, neurotypical, able bodied, whatever the fuck else, did? yeah. nobody can change that. scott didnt just pick and chose who gets to play, there are literal rules for this event and also applications that are involved like?? hello????? and obviously i would love to see some more lgbt+ creators from different backgrounds with different identities in the cast, that would be awesome, but that is ultimately not up to the organizers. they cant force people to play. they cant skip people in the waiting lists. they can't have people who cant stream be involved in this mcc as their first event, both because it would be sad for them not to stream their first mcc and because it is a literal charity event.

and, to make things worse, a lot of people are saying there "isnt any trans people this mcc" which is just. a blatant lie. eret isnt cis and sqiashey is genderfluid, yall just dont like eret so you decide to refer to her as a "cis man" constantly, which is transphobic, and yall also dont know sqiashey so instead of doing research, you started running ur mouths and then didn't apologize when you got called on it.

like. even if eret was truly problematic, which i dont believe they are as they have apologized for every little mistake theyve made and dealt with the backlash from entitled little privileged teenagers online all while not complaining even the slightest bit, that still doesnt give you a right to misgender them and erase their identity as a non cis person entirely because you're mad over a fucking minecraft event like??? how fucking privileged you must be that this is what gets you heated. not any actual homophobia or transphobia, but apparently "lgbt+ people in minecraft not being diverse enough". choke.

3) "technoblade is a lesphobe, why is he in mcc"

tw on this section: i discuss my expierences with homophobia as an afab nblw briefly and reclaim the d slur (if you wanna read this section and avoid the homophobia discussion and/or d slur, skip from "as someone who is nblw" to "techno making a shitty joke").

all of techno's lesphobic comments are from 5+ years ago and were, at worst, jokes in poor taste. as someone who is nblw, i have had men follow me and my friend around and call us dykes for holding hands in a museum, i have had my family members harrass me for my sexuality and casually talk about how im gross and wrong for liking girls and i have been punished by literal teachers for showing "too much pda" with my past girlfriends despite the fact that ive never even kissed someone on campus before, just held hands and hugged. techno making some shitty jokes when he was a teenager years ago, while also having a plethora of examples of him being an lgbt+ ally, which does include lesbians, should not be treated the same way as literal bigots calling queer people slurs. and if you think it should be, you have had it fucking lucky.

yes, it is valid to be upset over these jokes, they're fucking weird and he shouldnt have made them, but to treat it with the exact same seriousness as a grown ass adult showing blatant homophobia in current times? no. fuck no.

extra notes bc there's some minor discourse points i left out: no, dream team shouldnt get to be involved in this event over other cishet ccs involved just because they have bigger platforms because this quite literally isnt about them, it's about lgbt+ people and they just didnt happen to get in. shut the fuck up. stop mentioning ant and velvet as people who shouldve been involved, they're quite literally together rn doing little daytrips and shit and they most likely dont wanna spend their time together playing fucking minecraft. also, stop saying techno should be replaced with ranboo (or anyone for that matter), it breaks ranboo's fucking boundaries and him donating 100k to the trevor project doesnt suddenly mean he gets to skip the mcc waiting list.

in conclusion: twitter stop whining over pride mcc, your privilege is showing.

batfam bonding

Ok! So! if you know me you KNOW I am THERE for transformation fics, its my favorite trope~ but I think about how many magic enemies there are in DC and yes there are plenty of full on transformations into animals in fics. and there is the cannon of the batman vs tmnt movie and spliced in batman beyond. BUT you know what is not as common? Just barely there slow burn transformations! enough that, when it starts no one really realizes it, it's all mental instinct, its weird but not enough for others to realize it, the transformie doesn't think too much at first either. There might not even be a visible change, if there is its just the bare minimum, until all shit breaks loose! 

Anyway prompt! Could be a villein could be Klarion, heck could be Billy or connie as a prank to get back at one of the birds, but someone decides to spell them into acting like their namesake, it was supposed to be subtle, it was supposed to be just one of them picking up tiny little instinct tendencies like chirping, catching bugs and possibly walking into glass. But we all know magic is weird and easily misreadable. So whoever it is possibly doesn't realize how it can advance without his explicit boundaries or something. and he knows he messed up when, it wasn't just his target affected. In fact all of them started it, Dick, Jay, Tim, and Dami, basiclly anyone in the family who used an animal related name at any point. and it gets worse as time goes on! They are preening each other, flocking close together more than normal, building nests to sleep in, extra flighty, and taking their perch habits to the next level, not that anyone believed that was possible until then XD And when one (or all) of them ends up in a bad fight and very hurt, Supes is called in to pull off Bruce who nearly goes full man-bat rage mode on the villain. and has to stay with them now cause he's the only one who can keep track of/herd them all.

Bonus, since he wasn’t even like that a full five minutes in the episode.. as hard as Old Bruce tried, Terry still had lingering effects from being spliced as heavily as he was, thankfully it wasn’t all that noticeable, his teeth were a little sharper, his hearing was more sensitive- not superman level sensitive but enough that he can catch a wider range of sounds to the point he would panic when it was far too quiet or get headaches when overwhelmed, with the unfortunate specifics of the species he needed more iron in his diet. thankfully he dosen't need to eat actual blood, just add some extra strong vitamins. And the occasional urge to bite whoever tries to punch him in the face, but all in all it was manageable.

Until he gets an impromptu vacation to younger- possibly alternate- Bruce’s time and hangs with the fam for a while, though the biting tendency has gotten him in trouble from time to time when getting hazed by his ‘older brothers’ no one really thinks anything is off except for his ‘iron deficiency’, but Bruce knows, Bruce always knows. Hell old Bruce probably sent a file to himself on specifics of Terry’s care, including pictures of the incident itself, and hid it in the suit before he signed the permission slip, just cause he knows his kids are just as bad as him!!

But then one day walks into Bruce clicking of all things, seeming distressed when the others don't seem to understand what he was doing or if they even heard it.

Even worse is Terry responds which he didn’t even know he could do! He never felt compelled to answer the cave bats. But then again they didn't exactly try to talk directly to him either.

aka- Bruce is low key distressed at being the only actual bat when his chicks/pups are all birds who arent listening to him while under the spell and makes a closer bond with Terry because of it. Also Terry was not with the group when it happened,-maybe he was sick that day?- so they know he was not affected so secret out, maybe he and Alfie are the only ones who KNOW something weird is going on at first but they cant figure out what and it's the clicking that really slams home what happened or at least what the base problem is cause Terry. has. BEEN. THERE.

Also it isn't necessary for Bruce to be a vamp bat, they are highly specialized and only like three subspecies actually exist, most bats are fruit or insect eaters. I imagine him being more of whatever species lives in the cave. Terry is specifically a vamp bat cause it was said in the episode and he doesn't tell anyone cause he gets enough monster movie teasing from Max about it at home.

if you wanna just change it to all be original thats fair yeah, do what makes you feel better, but tbh knowing twitter its.. unlikely theyre gonna leave you alone. i think it might be best to just not go on twitter, n take a break in general if you can. the more its focused on, unfortunately the bigger the drama is gonna get, but you shouldnt have had to be harassed into having to edit all this stuff just bc some assholes wont shut the hell up :/

youve established over and over that youve done your research to make sure that you arent breaking boundaries, and theyve established over and over that theyd rather refuse to listen to you. its a bunch of telephone game with them, they clearly show to have not read anything and, in the kindest way i can put this, arent using common sense or basic deduction at all. it may be best to let it die down rather than bend backwards to please people who dont care about you.

theyd rather fight and bite like a bunch of rabid dogs than realize that theyre hurting people by constantly talking shit. its unfortunate that theyre targeting you, especially considering all the actually gross shit thats in the fandom, but doing what they want is only gonna teach them that they can harass you and get away with it

so like, ultimately deffo your choice and if you feel the need to just get it out of the spotlight feel free, but only do it if its just for yourself. twitters the same place that doxxes people over stan discourse and makes threads upon threads of "callouts" that reach for straws, and they havent even gotten out of the mindset that c!beeduo arent strictly platonic yet. they dont have any actual legs to stand on, theyre just loud and really good at being pissy. but ultimately, doing what they want is only gonna give them more incentitive to keep pushing you and others more and more until you break. so dont let them break you, yknow? log out of twitter if you have to, close any tabs, even take a break from tumblr if you need to. take care of your mental health first, youll get throufh this, i swear. we care a lot about you man, ive talked to a lot of ppl abt knifetrick and they were all extremely positive about it. youve made a good thing, lots of people care about it, and about you. i hope youll feel better soon man, take care :] -🎭🎪

thanks eyez i really appreciate it <3 and ill take the advice to heart

[mooifyourecows]

my mom is super pissed and super dissapointed BUT knows i wasnt involved and understands why i didnt act differently so i think ill be okay with her. my sister who wasn't involved (my older sister) is super pissed, but again not so much with me but mostly with my other sister because she did participate , but my older sister did scream at me for a few minutes, which made her a little less mad, and i desereved it. she also cant yell at my other sister because shes actially fucking crazy when she has to face the consequences of her actions and would likely do something irreversable because she feels like shit about what happened nd my older sister knows that, which kind of pissed her off more, but i think itll mostly be okay.

ive also decided i will not see any of those people aside from my sister outside of school, and will not speak to them or interact with them unless they initiate, and i will keep it short. im tired of being dragged into shit that i dont wanna be a part of. also that boy did take responsibility for one of the things used being his, so hopefully my sister and i will not get drug charges , but my 'friends' literally said they lied to the police. i dont know if thats true or if they just dont want everyone to think they snitcehd , but i refuse to be involved with people who think its okay to break the law and when they get caught, to do it again. theyre stupid and i cant deal with that. especially when half of them are shitheads who dont like me anyways.

ive also decided to see if i can tutor after school and also write handwritten letters to the officers superintendent and principal to attempt to get my reputation back. i know you said it doesnt matter, and its probably pointless to even worry about, but i do really care what these people think of me, and i want them to trust me and believe in me and support me. i am nothing without my reputation and intelligence at this school. all these people have known each other since diapers and have lives to fall back on. they have family farms and loyal friends and support from their community. i dont have that so i want to earn support and loyalty and this is the only way i know how.

i really appreciate the support through all my struggles ive shared with you. even thought you arent in my life physically and youre just some cool person i know from the internet who writes silly stories i like , its nice to feel like someone cares about you. ive always found it difficult sharing my thoughts and feelings, especially with adults mostly because i didnt want to be judged, and i dont feel judged with you, and i can get advice from someone with more life experience. thank you for that. i hope youre doing well, especially after your surgery(?)

I'm proud of you for setting up new boundaries and distancing yourself from those people. But I hope you also know that its not fair for your older sister and mom to use you as a scapegoat because your other sister isn't mentally stable enough to take her fair share of the punishment. Just because she can't handle it doesn't mean you should have to handle double the dose of yelling and anger. That's not healthy, especially since you were already an unwilling party to that whole experience.

And I hope you realize that you have worth and value outside of what people think of you! It's okay to be concerned with your reputation but keep in mind that nobody will truly understand the real you because they're not in your head all the time. They will judge you on only what they see and believe about you so it's impossible to curate a perfect image. But that's okay! People aren't meant to understand one another to such degrees anyway. It's alright to be flawed. We are all just works in progress, trying our best to make the most of what we've got

You'll understand this more and more the older you get. And your desire to be seen in a good light by others will fade as you realize that yours is the one true opinion that REALLY matters. Once you start liking and respecting yourself, everyone else can take a long walk off a short pier 😌

Stay positive! Things can and will always get better 🖤
