My mom always taught me yell or fight back. Boys would be mean and I would yell back. I would get my ass pinched and I would smack them as hard as I could.

Who alway got in trouble? Me.

They would call my mother and she always came in and lectures my teachers and threatened to sue for making her miss work and treating me poorly.

She always taught my brothers to respect women. The only fights my brothers ever got in was defending women from someone else.

The school tried to call my father once instead of my mother on us. He came in in his full preacher outfit (being a preacher and all) and gave them an entire sermon on what would Jesus day of he was called in. They decided dealing with my mom was better.

I think my favorite story of this is when some kid snapped my bra and I turned around, didn’t even think about it, and punched that little motherfucker right in the nose.

So naturally, I end up in the principal’s office, refusing to apologize. 

“He shouldn’t have put his hands on me and I wouldn’t have hit him!” That’s the only thing I was saying.

These people had the unfortunate luck of catching my dad at home, instead of my mom. So he comes fucking sauntering in there, like he’s Clint fucking Eastwood in some western movie and looks at me. 

“Melissa, did you punch him?” 

“Yes.” I said. 

“Why?” 

“Because he snapped my bra strap.” 

And he turns his squinty eyed glare to the principal and says, “You’re telling me my daughter is in trouble because that squirrely looking kid put his hands on her and she chose to defend herself? That’s what you are saying to me.” 

“Well, sir-” The man kind of stuttered because my dad is kind of intimidating in the quiet sort of way that kind of whispers in the back of your mind that this person could be dangerous. “Melissa did make it physical.” 

“No. That kid put his hands on my daughter. Are you saying my daughter cannot defend herself when some boy decides to put hands on her? Is that what you are teaching my girl?” 

I didn’t get suspended that day.  

*slow clap for excellent parenting*

This is the parent I want to be omg

I went to a nun school. 

The nuns there were like, so rad. 

It was a party organized for the end of the school year, and I was helping in the kitchen to prepare stuff with a nun and a bunch of little girls. There was one of the girls’ little brother who was there. 

There was a little girl who was carrying a bowl of tomato sauce and was going outside, but the boy was just in front of her and he slammed the door in her face. She dropped the bowl on the floor and got all messy. 

So what happened? 

The nun went outside, took the boy by the arm, and gave him an epic speech going around the lines of: “Would you treat the Virgin Mary like that, young man?” “Nnnnno…” “Then treat every girl like she’s the Virgin Mary.” Not only the boy had to apologize to the little girl, but he also had to clean up and he was put on kitchen duty for the rest of the day. 

Then another day, in catechism class (I was a in a girls’ school, mind you), the nun was there telling us: “If a guy touches you in a way you don’t like, punch him in the face. It’s not a sin against charity. On the contrary, you’re being charitable by showing him he’s sinning by impurity and you’ll save him from going to hell.” 

So I was at my desk during class looking like this:

@hi-imlilac @thesecondlight-luna @askthefuturestickgeneration @mar-doce0 @thewhiteguy

(i totally will forgot a lot of poeple...sorry)

I was about to name my account whiteo0 and I felt like it's too common..but before I post on Tumblr it was tsctcotdl..then when I posted I think of a silly name like "the white guy" here's how I got it !:3

@alexartink @louistheduck @kuyanh @abscshshhd @hi-imlilac @mar-doce0 and any one who I forgot or want to join !

I joined Tumblr aftr watching an old video involving baldi voiced over by VOADAM.

I also wanted to post art!! This originally started a s a Casino Cup AU acc (A certain someone remembers that..) And I changed up everything to just be me!! So ye :3 now I'm like this

[Open Reblog // aka to lazy to @ ppl & moots]

I don't remember when I started, but at some point I just started to refer to myself as kit when online (mostly for the anonymity of it. That and the fact childhood me liked the name kit)
Sometimes I would use kit kat too, and I like KitKat bars (candy) so that's where that part is from. The last kat is supposed to actually mean cat (my favorite animal) but I wanted to spell it with a k so I did!

@everythingimnot @swtchblvds

I wanna do way too many things (all of them lol) which is impossible so I'm named for the things I'm not so that I can be everything ✨

it may be a little silly but I'm really proud of that name

and on @settlersoferia (my other blog) it's the title of the book I'm working on, Eria being the name of the planet most of the action will be happening on

(fun fact, it was originally Etheria but coincidentally that's the one in She-Ra and I wanted something more original)

@bluexxdumpling @mmaurysiek @just-some-teag @baksuz-art

+ everyone else except the spam bots

(hopping on this blog to answer, hope that's ok!)

baksuz means 'jinx' (in several languages), but it's also often used as a term of endearment. and considering that i love black cats and often draw black cats... i just found it fitting lol

(and anyone else who wants to hop on :3 )

Oooo so my name is really short in real life, so my friends and family had to get kinda creative with nicknames, and my aunt once called me peeps (I’m not sure if it was because it starts with P and my real name starts with P or if it was because of the candy lol) and it just kinda stuck. Now everyone calls me peeps. I usually have to use peepers or something similar online though because peeps is always taken (T＿T)

(Hope you don’t mind me tagging yall!)

@r0tting-rat @maxxzophone @toucheholland23 @amarynthian-fortress @idlingmoons

Rat is actually my chosen name, like, it's what I use to refer to myself in general! I use it irl too, even if not many people I know use it, most are still stuck on a older name lol. I always change the other word tho, I'm not always "rotting", sometime I'm "very fat rat", "radioactive rat", "stinky rat", "rat soup" etc. I get creative lol.

But if you want to know the beginning of it all? Well, okay, I'll admit it. I started to use Rat due to Penelope Scott's song Rät. It's a good song, idc about the senseless hate she gets.

Thank u for the tag!!

@hexcii @juukai @infinitewinderword @stormimur @xxcrumbxx

ooo I like that song!

I've been using this name for.......... so damn long. it's probably old enough to legally drink. I had looked up a japanese translator (yes hi hello I was a little bit of a weeb) and wanted something with "ash" in it. juukai comes up meaning "dense ash" and I was like "well if that doesn't fit I don't know what does, I'm dense af". used it ever since. there's another guy out there using juukai, what's hilarious is our real names are almost exactly alike and he has the same origin story, I just usually get to websites first so he has to add a number to his username lmao.

taggin' in @hexcii @luckyyyduckyyy @rosescarletful @divinit3a @midnight-mourning

Thank you for the tag @juukai!!

Back in the 00's, I went home from an assembly about internet safety. I said 'oh man, i can't use my real name, what if someone finds my house!!' So my 12 year old brain thought really hard.

I also used to be really into touhou. One of those cringe 'she was abused has 30 powers yadda yadda' touhou oc's was named Rose Scarlet! So in what I thought was a genius maneuver, tacked on ful at the end. Its been my url on everything ever since.

Tempest though is because I joined a card game event and realized rose is way too boring. So i was tempest for that tournament. Never changed it back. Now im tempest xD.

Took me forever to remember, but thank you for the tag, @rosescarletful!

Back when I was around 18, I listened to a LOT of lofi hip-hop and dreamed of making my own music! So I came up with some cool names that sounded like lofi artists and set them aside for the day I might use one.

Little did I know I'd choose one of them when I started sharing artwork on Instagram a couple of years later, and now here I am on Tumblr!

My main blog's name, amarynthian fortress, is a reference to the ancient temple of Artemis in Amarynthos. My sideblog's name, amarynthian chronicles, has the chronicles part added since I mostly dedicated that blog to writing and stories.

No pressure tags (also trying not to repeat other tags since I see lots of moots already did this haha) @robinette-green @ravenwriter16 @lets-zofifi-stuff @sparrolina @kaiju-naut @ping-ski @wyervan @overly-dramatic-artist @momomogos @helpmeimawkwardbutfun @baaaa-king @bearitt-creations @way2gosuperrstarr @sinister-sincerely @flowysgonemad @clockworkmemoriies @erarousfire @idlingmoons @mr-munchies @aquacomet @vivian-violet @capring @crafty-little-crow @darlingdeer21 @hazelthebat

Ooo, really cool!

And vivian-violet? Vivian was from combining three(3) ocs/inserts (V, Vi, and Ian. Real creative, we know) and violet is just a purple that started with a V. We like alliteration, if it wasn't obvious ( ´∀｀ )b

eats ur name

once my friend misspelled SapNap (yt creator/mcyt) as sipnoot so i yoinked it and have had it since (3-4ish years? has carried over from other platforms onto here)

i dont even know if he remembers it

@nightixx @itsahotminuteinbetween @strangechildproductions @icy-oranges not pressure!! +@ anyone else who wants to :]

oh boy.. mines original feels cringe and not at the same time

I used to stay up ALL NIGHT so i was like "hey lets be called smth night related" AND I WONT TELL MY PREVIOUS CRINGY NAME (like my current wasnt lol) but i saw people on tiktok putting an "ixx" at the end of their names so i just thought nightixx sounded fine, plus nobody had that name so nobody would confuse me with anyone

Anyways i used it for years on ytb and discord so i just put that here too since i was too lazy to come up with a new name, thats also why i dont say how yall should call me cuz EVEN I DONT KNOW

But since people on socials called me just "Night" before, just use it, fun fact i hate being called nightixx when im being spoken to directly 💔💔🥀

I know I wasn't tagged, but I wanna do this tag game-

Soooo

Mine comes from when I was about 4 years old and obsessed with pirates. My dad gave me the nickname "Skallywags" because of my obsession, and it's just evolved from there. Used this name for over a decade now.
