Ten Thousand Kitties Upon Ye

Uhh. Yeah 👎 sorry i don't know what to put in here I've been thinking this up for days @justcakethanks

Alt under cut

anti's: YEEEEEY!

Government: ok now that you gave us the power to censor, we are going to push it a littleeee bit further and censor anything taboo, and media that discusses or even mentions dark topics with nuance, Lolita, 120 days of sodom, all gone! Everything has to be squeaky clean and sanitized!

anti's: yey!

Government: nice! now, we are going to erase from libraries all nazi books, like Mein Kampf, and any uncomfortable historical documentation about racism, homophobia, sexism etc, because that's problematic, right? we don't want our youth to read those and inform themsel- I MEAN, get influenced, right?

anti's: yes...?

Government: cool! now that we got rid of the "bad nasty stuff", you certainly won't mind if we also erase, you know... the other stuff we don't like and that we find uncomfortable, no matter the fact it doesn't hurt anybody, right? that also influences our young impressionable, sensitive kids, right?

anti's: what do you mean?

Government: oh you know, just, all the gay stuff. everything LGBTQ+, everything queer, everything not 100% vanilla that doesn't promote the traditional values, and the sole existence of blood on screen and kissing and the representation of marginalized groups-

anti's: WHAT? no!

Government: uh?? i thought YOU were the ones who wanted to "bring back Hays Code" and not see any sex or "problematic" stuff on screen!

And like yeah, obviously there's more to it than that. They're a team, a Grace alone would have probably died trying to get the samples from Adrian. Or, tbh, might have never got out of his original Mental Breakdown phase and just gone fully crazy.

But from Rocky's perspective, this has to feel insane. Like we talk a lot about Grace feeling inferior to Rocky, but there's no way that Rocky wouldn't have a similar (or worse) complex about Grace.

And this isn't getting into the fact that (from Rocky's perspective) the moment he leaves Grace, everything goes to hell again. Goes to hell again because, as he later finds out, Grace bred the taumoeba in xenonite breeder tanks that Rocky designed.

Do we think he wondered, on the way back to Erid, whether things would have been fixed 46 years ago if it had been one of the Blip-A scientists who survived, and he'd just succumbed to the radiation?

Do we think Grace had to reassure him, over and over, that it was if anything Grace's fault for not foreseeing that the taumoeba would adapt to the xenonite, and that there was no way that Rocky could have designed the tanks better?

I have been losing it all evening with the Eridian Welcoming Committee comics, so I decided to try my hand at one.

"Censorship should not be accepted because when you ban one word at what point does it stop? At what point does it stop being about morality and start being about control? Censorship means giving the government power it should not have over it's people. Once the government bans one word how soon until they ban freedom of speech all together? How much longer till they rewrite history because the law forces the populace to hold their tongues? Censorship means throwing yourself down the path to Fascism. You do not live in a free country if you not free to use your tongue or write whatever please."

And if believing in those words makes me a proshipper, fine. I accept it. I'd rather be part of the group of "bad" people then the group of "good" people trying to edge us closer to fascism.

I’m saying this with respect, by definition, being anti censorship and anti harassment is proship. that’s why I am proship.

and your stance—regarding “ship and let ship” and censorship—is exactly what being proship means. but whether or not you’ll use the label is entirely up to you.

so many people think proship means “liking dark and taboo ships” but that’s not the case. while people who are proship can enjoy dark and taboo ships, the only definition of proship is:

“ship and let ship. your kink is not my kink and that’s okay. don’t like don’t read. censorship is bad. harassment is bad. fiction is not reality. thoughtcrimes are not real. I may not like the things you enjoy in fiction, hell, I may even find them disgusting, but I will never shame, harass or try to take away your rights to create and consume whatever you want, as long as it’s fiction and you’re not harming anyone in real life, I will just mind my own business and curate my own internet experience by muting, blocking, or scrolling past things I don’t want to see.”

It's the thought that counts...?

But anime and video game boob jiggling is like. The most uncanny valley shit I've ever seen nine times out of ten. You would think people this horny about tits would have actually looked at some but I guess not.

inspired by and prompted to draw this by my beloved @milolunde ‘s post and our conversations about not giving grace enough good things with no strings attached

note that i dont think simon calls grace “angel” as a petname like . ever. Its not a casual term it holds too much “yikes!!” energy that both of them get wary of , but there are very few and very specific exceptions

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this
