The day of reckoning is close

most of these girls, princess included, are only alive because of the connections they made on this website. and staff is actively killing them by ripping these support systems away. this was Princess's only way of making enough money to get by, just like so many trans women tumblr tries to kill

if you could, please send princess and faer partner crow some money, help keep them alive this winter. they've had some expenses recently that have drained all they've got

alice's disability advocacy naturally led her to palestine solidarity as the quote from the blog post announcing 'crips for esims' illustrates:

We also recognize that everyone in Gaza is now disabled due to the massive number of deaths, new disabilities, life-threatening illnesses and destruction of medical facilities going on. Such destruction also debilitates the land, water, and air, which will impact Palestinians and all surrounding life for generations to come. We owe our kin in Palestine to throw sand on the gears of genocide with our every breath. [source: the disability visibility project]

since december 2023, crips for esims for gaza has raised well over $3.1M and bought and maintained over 5,000 esims, undoubtedly saving lives.

in the past few days there has been intense winter flooding in gaza. donate to honor alice wong's memory–to keep people connected, to give disabled people the tools to advocate for themselves, to refuse to let palestine be silenced.

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

But I think it’s really disingenuous to call it “incest”, you know?

With the exception of obviously textual blood relatives like Lauriam and Strelizia, I really think that most characters’ relationships in this story cannot reasonably be defined by such terminology. Kingdom Hearts is never that straightforward.

And I think people doing so (and by default characterizing other people who like said ships as “incest fans”) are falling into a bit of lazy fanonization that always irks me: pigeonholing every possible relationship into fiction, no matter how little it resembles anything in real life, into a convenient little “family” mold. A is the mommy, B is the daddy, C, D, and E are the babies! God it always puts me off. (Side note that the people who deliberately headcanon such relationships AS incest because they like it better that way equally irritate me. How boring can you be?)

A good example of this in my mind is Vanitas: in canon, he calls Sora and Ventus his “brothers”, but this is a totally one-sided sentiment as neither of them ever indicate that they feel he is their brother. You can’t neatly box a dynamic like that into “siblinghood” because it is very clearly something completely different.

I still don’t like it, because of the aforementioned aesthetic nope I have, you can take ships where the characters look too much the same and march them right out the door…. but whatever the hell that hypothetical relationship would even be, I can’t reasonably call it “incest”. It’s not even in the same state as incest.

IDK i guess this is actually a rant about how I hate people boxing complex, interesting and difficult-to-neatly-define character relationships into the same worn-out fandom box labeled “FAMILY :)” for the billionth time. Get some new material you fucking hacks
