anon in my inbox said fanfic writers who wrote about dark and taboo topics were not âreal writersâ because of what they wrote about.
reblog if you believe anon is wrong and writers are writers, no matter what they write about. no matter how they portray these taboo topics.
reblog if you believe art can be about topics that are controversial, taboo or outright disturbing, and artists who create controversial, taboo or outright disturbing art are as valid as artists who create art of conservative values.
reblog to laugh at anon âĄ
abraham in the bible married his half sister
classical artists would proceed to draw art of this incestuous couple and their sex slave. here is a picture from 1897, of all three of them.
here is a painting by bronzino of venus kissing her underage son, cupid. its cropped, but they're also going second base in it. there's no platonic intention behind that.
here is a depiction of leda and the (non consensual, usually) sexual interaction she had with zeus as a swan. this was made 2025 years ago.
art has always been problematic, lmao. fanfic authors aren't special exemptions just because its more easily accessible than maquis de sades or victorian era magazines like the pearl
can we not do this
I would be dead without the psychiatric professionals i have and had in my life
we can and should criticise the psychiatric institutions & their treatments of mentally ill people
ALSO
/a/ system is needed. I can't go grab potentially dangerous meds off the corner shop store. I need a prescription and the idea of that is good imo. If it wasn't for my perspiration + psychiatrist I'd be dead.
I fucking hate the antipsych movement for scaring people into thinking that they're better off committing suicide than ever trying to contact professionals
Hi, Iâve been someone who had to deal with shit mental healthcare (that probably permanently damaged my brain) and am now with great mental healthcare (which helps me live with what I have).
Psych meds are powerful agents and using them without proper guidance or knowledge can seriously fuck you up (e.g. serotonin syndrome). No system also equals no consistency. Without a system, the pill that could help you today can fail to help or even harm you tomorrow. The ideal relationship however should be partnership and informed choice between you and the care team.
I am able to stay awake because the prescription got transferred to my psychiatrist.
I do think that if both you and your doctor have agreed that you need the meds with informed knowledge of the risks, it shouldnât be so hard to acquire them (controlled substances act, my be-loathed).
Similarly, therapy and lifestyle interventions also have risks and benefits. This is absolutely talked about less compared to the medications, but it can still have psychological effects. Notably, certain therapies are prescribed as cookie cutter approaches when it doesnât work for a lot of people even if it does help others. What we need is better classification on who these therapies will help vs who these therapies will not help (ie who need different approaches).
Currently intervention cannot help without its risks and side effects (even if theyâre mild), and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
There are good professionals out there just as there are bad professionals out there. But as someone mentioned before, saying all psych care is bad is throwing out babies with bath water. Truly good psych care comes from integration with an individual and their support networks (if included) through informed consent, not opposed.
My first experience going into a psych ward was intensely traumatic. The hospital treated me like a criminal. I couldnt go to the bathroom without being yelled at for closing the door and the ER made me sit for 8 hours in the hallway while they found a place over an hour away to send me strapped down via ambulance. It was awful.
And I've been in and out of mental health facilities since then. Once I had a therapist tell me I wasnt trying and sent me home fifteen minutes into the session. When I had to be partially hospitilized at the DBT institute, they failed to get me a therapist for the month I was there... and then that therapist wasted my time with two sessions of paperwork, demanded I bus multiple hours to see her in person just to forget I was coming, and ultimately bailed on me.
There are really shitty professionals in these spaces.
But there are also great ones. My cousin, for one, who I've seen go above and beyond for her clients, even when it means fighting parents to protect kids. I had a therapist bring me groceries when I was deeply agoraphobic and literally making kraft mac and cheese with water and mayonnaise (do not do this). I had another offer to pick me up when finding ways to therapy became impossible. I've met people I will never forget in psych wards and group sessions. Like genuinely, once in a lifetime people. I've come out bit by bit a little better each time for one reason or another.
When I suggest to someone that they seek help, I always tell them that it will likely be very scary and potentially traumatizing, but that it's a short bit of high anxiety for a trade off of years of wanting to die or thinking the world is going to end. It's worth trying to get better.
So yeah... I start my new job at a mental health hospital today. I'm really excited to try to give back and make someone's potential worst experience a bit more bearable.
/orders school transcripts since my old high school isnt answering my calls. I pay for the service that apparently my state uses.
/waits over a week with the status being that the school needs to process the request.
/finally get a call back at 6 am when I'm asleep, she asks for my info to send my transcripts... but again, I'm asleep
/the office lady leaves her name so I can find her email and email her instead. I let her know I've been waiting for the school to process my request
/the lady emails me back to say they arent using that service since people have to pay for it and just sends me my transcript
So... like... cool I got my transcript. Thats great... cause I can see why you dont want to have people pay for that... but... uh I ALREADY PAID. You're just going to refuse to answer and I've thrown my money into a void?? Then make it easier to request through the school. It should not have taken me a week and a half if all I had to do was give you guys my name, year, and birthdate. What if it was summer already?
I live with my friend and her boyfriend is genuinely going to make me hate men.
Like if I didnt have a bunch of awesome male friends and an awesome dad growing up, I would be fucking radicalized by this guy's entitlement and passive assholery. I grew up with a male abuser and that guy didnt do half as much a disservice to his sex that this guy is doing.
And he's "on his best behavior" around me.
Under the cut for some wild fucking examples. It's a lot, but not even half of what I've seen him do.

Certified Anti-Microsoft post
onedrive downloaded my entire years of cloud storage onto my roommates computer and when I tried to get rid of it... it deleted everything in the cloud... a literal decade of stuff gone because it decided that because I logged into microsoft that I wanted all that shit downloaded.
We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think
So I've hidden this reply, both because it's obnoxious and because I don't want the person who wrote it being harassed for it, but I need you to understand: I don't know you. We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole.
literally that is what the post is about, I am saying people should be less eager to jump on any chance to be snarky and rude to total strangers on the internet
DID THE JOURNAL FACTORY FUCKING EXPLODE???
you said it yourself: you're looking to vent it LITERALLY ANYWHERE
so vent it somewhere private. or at least not literally aimed AT another person, a total stranger at that
Like, this reblogger sounds so insanely self centered in their reblog. notice how both options focus on how being rude would affect THEM. "B has no consequences for me so it's perfectly fine to do"
(the only reason I didn't show their username in the screenshot is because, given how self victimizing they sound in their reblog, I believe that, if I did show their username, suddenly online stuff wouldn't seem so inconsequential to them and they'd accuse me of sending harrassment their way and putting them in danger)
You said it better than I could. Of all the inane and ridiculous things I've seen in my notes because of this post, "I NEED to say fuck you to strangers or I will literally die" is certainly one of them
this reminds me of that time my boss told me after a meeting with the supervisor and management team that we had to let customers yell at us and do what we can to be nice, because what if they go home and beat their spouse instead?
she was literally told that by the supervisor. Our entire management was told to push that narrative.
Being abused wasnt in my job description then, and I sure aint getting paid for it now.
Someone not seeing the consequence of their actions is not the same as there being none at all. It just says how self centered someone is to think that.
Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldnât even care about
i know fandom history that even I donât care about
well, i know about lump fish
Good to see weâre all on the same page
I was finally able to get Monster Hunter Wilds. Was super excited for raptor birb mounts. The character creation was almost entirely perfect (besides the weird blending where you cant even see the options well) and I will be playing with it just for fun. The voice acting and graphics are lovely.
But uh... wow... I'm getting to the point of frustration with the gameplay that I'm getting mad playing.
I can't tell why the controls are so fucking off, but I feel like I've never played a game in my life while trying to control this character. Had to learn how to stop my mount from just running where it wants and being impossible to control. Weirdly the fucking prompt that says it'll turn that shit off doesnt do jack shit. I had to go into the settings and adjust several options. It wants me to aim with the right toggle in focus mode... but my right thumb is already up on the buttons so I'm just flailing around with my insect glaive, unable to move the stick fast enough to target the damaged areas and actually attack before the monster moves. The dual blades were a fucking nightmare for what was previousky the easiest weapon set to learn.
And the biggest issue? It's so god damn on rails that I'm actually getting mad at the story. I swear to god I left camp on one quest and got dragged through three more without break. I thought after the second quest I could stop and grab some food and a drink... but no. Actually the cut scene had more monsters coming in, causing me to run back to the controller and then watch ten minutes of a cut scene doing cool shit with my hunter with an occassional break for me to not need to control my mount as it chased.
At one point I said to my roommate "I'm actually so angry about watching this cut scene play the game that I want to stop playing for a bit and cool down... but I cant because the cut scene is still going."
One of my biggest issues with Monster Hunter as a whole is how much it pushes multiplayer. I know that's a huge part of the game, but I literally just want to play poorly all by myself and not dreal with feeling like I'm not pulling my weight. In the past few games it hasnt been so bad, this one feels especially pushy. If I'm playing single-player or offline mode please just let me pause the game somehow so I can stop and go to the bathroom while the game drags me through multiple big hunts because I dared progress the story. And absolutely do not make it unclear that by not intentionally switching into single player, people can just randomly join my hunt.
I want to keep playing but if something doesnt shift then I'm probably going to go back to Hades or Windrose. I just feel shitty because the game was a gift and it was expensive TT_TT
Why cant it be like Rise but on the World scale? Riding Palamutes felt fucking awesome and the controls were intuitive.

reblog if youâve had an online friendship thatâs lasted more than 2 years
I swear to god if we go through another election where people attack democrats because they did or didnt do specific things when they're the only or best choice we have to end this god damn madness I'm going to scream.
Yes, I agree, these people may not care about -insert specific issues- and that issue may be extremely important, not just to the people experiencing it but to society. I would never invalidate that... but the OTHER SIDE CARES LESS, and when people post about those guys, we all just nod and go "Yeah that makes sense. Water is wet." So there ends up being so much apathy on this idea that both people suck, and none of the nuance that one would see you shot in the street and call you a terrorist.
And for some issues, you're actively burying them by choosing to allow a side who hates everyone but the 1% to do whatever they want. People wont care about issues overseas like Ukraine when they cant afford groceries, they wont care about antisemitism if they're being tear gassed because they took the wrong left turn, they wont care about the rights of marginalized people being stripped away when they're losing their jobs because they posted a lukewarm take online about a right wing figure. And that's hyperbole, they will care, but the people who try to do something will burn themselves out doing it. If I've learned anything from being homeless and in shit situations, it's that people can only help so much when their own situation is also bad. Yes, even if it is still better than yours. So many people are just trying to protect their own or their neighbors right now that they cant juggle the larger issues. We need to restore the playing field so that's a possibility instead of letting political pedophiles add on more problems.
Everyone deserves criticism, but please can we just remember that refusing to acknowledge that one side is vastly less dangerous is what got us 8 years of this bullshit? Because I dont trust people to do that after last election. Bitches, this is tug of war and every step back over the line is progress even if it isnt the win we want.
mutuals whenever i like your post about being miserable please imagine me like this
Closed Alpha Starts!
Last year, a small portion of the legacy Verpets community came together and began rebuilding the site from scratch!
Over that time, we have developed many of the game's core features and are inviting over 80 members to join in, test what we have so far, and share valuable feedback that will help shape our next steps.
You can follow our progress more closely on our Discord (https://discord.gg/3GzKwMVmth), as well as periodic updates here as we continue to move forward.
For now, here are a few of my favorite pet designs so far, with more to come!

If you have ever known anyone with a kink for being hit, or beat up, or raped and you're okay with them, you also gotta be okay with the people who's kink it is to do the hitting, the beating, or the raping. At the end of the day, we're adults playing pretend, and that's it.
With every single sub i have the first thing we ever do is establish the safe word (stoplight system), and the non-verbal safe word in case they can't talk for any reason. If I can't tell where the sub is at, I will ask them point blank what is their color, and if they can't give a response, we stop. The goal is to make the other person feel good, including pain, and the most important part us knowing your subs limits and LISTENING to them. I will *never* hurt a sub in a way that they have not explicitly expresssed interest in.
Makes sense to me. The âgetting hitâ kink requires a âhittingâ kink. Itâs like Transformers. Megatron canât exist without Optimus Prime.
yes Steve, its exactly like Megatron and Optimus Prime from Transformers
So, where does Starscream fit in?
Oh, so, see:
Optimus Prime and Megatron was about narrative. Everyone honors Optimus Prime because heâs the hero but his whole thing doesnât work without a bad guy. Megatron is his bad guy. Hating the scene for including Megatron is incoherent. You canât have a functional Optimus Prime without a bad guy to oppose him. It just doesnât function.
Similarly, in a sex scene, you need someone with a âhitâ kink and someone with a âhittingâ kink. The scene doesnât function optimally without the âhitterâ. As the comments suggest, willingness to hit isnât necessarily enough for the âhitâ person to get off. The âhitâ person needs the âhitterâ to enjoy themselves too. So for this reason, demonizing the âhitterâ is contrary to the well-meaning sentiment. If the goal is to protect the âhitâ person and help them achieve self-actualization then the environment needs to be supportive of the other half of the scene, the âhitterâ.
As for Starscream, heâs in the cuck chair.
This makes eminent sense, thank you.
I think we really need to watch some other media maybe
Probably shouldnt hinge so much on an unlikely ship...
