Isaac Cecil Bryant, Future Head of the Lezareno Co

from a physics perspective, that means all the force he’s applying is concentrated at the point of contact between his sword’s edge and the target, and it moves at just the speed that breakage propogates through the material. too slow and it wouldn’t have enough force; too fast and he’d get ahead of the break, shoving the target over instead of cutting it.

@isaaccecilbryant sent - Isaac pulls Ryuji into a deep, tight hug, holding a hand against the back of Ryuji's head as he whispers "everything will be all right."

Ryuji is almost completely still in Isaac's arms at first before his mind finally seems to click into place - how long had he wanted someone to say just that...? To tell him that things would be okay and to mean it...? In this moment...he felt safe and he felt cherished and as his arms slowly rose up to return the embrace, he nestles his head into Isaac's shoulder - his voice just a little bit choked as he finally manages to speak.

Have you ever been blocked? Whether that be over a conflict, an opinion you had, or no known reason, maybe you might be tempted to make a new account or blog and try to contact them on there. Maybe you might be tempted to log out and read their blog as a "guest." Maybe you might be tempted to get a friend to contact them and ask why they blocked you.

Full stop.

If somebody blocks you, that is an indication that they do not want to talk to you, they do not want to interact with you, they do not want you interacting with them, and they do not want to be associated with you in any way. They are putting up a boundary.

It doesn't matter why they blocked you. They can block you for so much as liking apples more than oranges. They don't even need a reason to block you. The only reason needed for blocking someone is that you want to.

You can block anyone and everyone on this site as long as you want to. And if somebody blocks you, you leave them alone. Don't try to get your friend to ask them why. Don't make alternate accounts to ask them why or to continue an argument. Don't even touch their blog in any capacity.

And I can't believe I have to say this, but block evasion isn't limited to interaction. If you're getting a friend to send you screenshots of their posts or making an alt/logging off to read their posts, that also counts as block evasion, because you are circumventing a block so that you could do something that you wouldn't be able to do on an account that was blocked by the person.

People have boundaries for a reason. People don't owe you an explanation, they don't owe you the privilege of reading their posts, and they definitely don't have to interact with or see you online if they don't want to.
