Making and maintaining a fire and then cooking food with it is genuinely like a "animal experiences its natural habitat for the first time" moments

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

hope is a skill

hope is a weapon you are trained to wield

Theodor would approve.

there should be a term for characters you personally don't care about but you defend them anyways because the way people treat them is really uncomfortable. like ok this is a very middle-of-the-road character for me but the fandom's either been super misogynistic, racist, etc. about them or harassed innocent people who try to genuinely explore that character warts and all, and i find that more annoying than the actual character.

the term should by 'my client', like you're a lawyer defending your client that you are completely indifferent to but you are obligated by your job (or your morals) to defend

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

I feel like we're all busy trying to convince the cis that being trans is NOT a Sex Thing ‼ but lowkenuinely there is an element of, uh. Sexual frustration when you have bottom dysphoria. Like sexual fulfillment is a pretty significant part of having genitals for most people. I have no mouth and I must cream

Like this is known within the trans community but we all kind of whisper it to each other cause if the cis know we have sex they're gonna tell the church

okay not to ocpost again but the worst thing about having an oc is sometimes they become The Character to you. and you need to talk to someone about it like wow I can’t stop thinking about The Character… but in order to do so you have to like sit them down and explain everything about your oc first. and then it’s just you explaining your writing ideas. i need to talk about them the same way i would talk about any random character i love to someone.
