*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.
that one old gods of appalachia episode where they talk about how sometimes people had siblings that were actually just friends who had abusive parents who came over for dinner one day and just. didn't leave. and nobody ever mentioned it or cared. fuckin chill as hell
I am fairly convinced I've gained at least one cousin this way
"at least one" is extremely funny to me for reasons i can't explain
I wish the Democratic candidates for President of the United States would stop trying to bootycall me
there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly
make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp
draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason
make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful
write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks
headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc
have fun man
i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to
just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too
enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed
to all the people reblogging this and saying “except for this type of ship i don’t like”: get bent
one thing that magnus protocol is doing for me so far is hitting points for me that aren't just triggers for fear, they're triggers for grief. i just finished antisocial, and as freaky as it was, it mostly made me... sad. horrified, but sad. i understand the feeling of "i just want to be noticed, and i feel so lost, and nobody would ever think that the person i am is worth looking for."
in introductions, needles's words and demeanor were horrifying, sure, but when he said "an excruciating agony formed from a thousand tiny hurts" and "half afraid of death and half afraid of living with what has happened to him" i felt a sense of sadness, and, in a way, connection. i could relate to those feeling in a more metaphorical sense.
in getting off, i felt the visceral horror of mr. bonzo's attack. i felt it deep in my bones. but... i also felt the sadness and fear that comes with "i needed help, i begged for it, and nobody came and nobody heard me." even though there were people around her, none of them could stop what was happening.
the *full* completely unedited 'ethel cain is corruption coded' rant that convinced @zaacataac that i'm right and a media analysis genius
you're from the south so you understand how summer feels there right
heavy, humid, hot, the sound of cicadas and wind that should be refreshing but just pushes hot air into your face
her songs all feel like that. sickly sweet and cloying. like the smell of dying flowers. like the heat of a southern summer
so vibe wise there's that
but ALSO in ptolemaea there's a sound at the beginning that gets louder and louder that sounds a lot like the buzzing of flies
also "even the iron still fears the rot/hiding from something i cannot stop"
and the corruption's whole thing is about being "consumed by what loves you"
AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS TO ETHEL
and in strangers she talks about making him sick "if i'm turning in your stomach/am i makin' you feel sick?"
and in hard times she says "i am poison in the water and unhappy" which combined with the aforementioned lyrics implies that ethel believes *she* is the reason all of her relationships have gone toxic
there's also the theme of corruption of innocence
in both hard times and gibson girl
and then all of house in nebraska is about filth and decay and unhealthy environments
oh and in family tree it seems like what would make her finally feel a sense of comfort and peace is if she felt clean
which implies that she fears being dirty or contaminated
do you guys remember “kick his ass baby i got yo flower”
this is like asking a medieval christian monk if he remembers the ten commandments like if not what have I been wasting my years learning
