#essential.

i want to keep this private as long as possible. if you are here, i trust you completely with everything i post and just ask that you don't promote or rec anything. it's not a Secret Blog, but it does need to be a We Don't Talk About Fight Club thing until further notice. it's for safety, mostly.

highly aware that many elements of the story can be extremely triggering for people in the community. i am not running the risk of someone making a mistake of clicking something because let's be real. i open the things i filter out sometimes and i know most of us do when we are being evil to ourselves, which is the worst time to do that. those triggers are not discussed on main and won't be lingered on in an exploitative or graphic way here, but still heavily talked about because we need to address it respectfully. alice doesn't exist without those themes and it is not a shameful thing, just something i feel a responsibility to treat carefully. it's for her sake, mine, and everyone else's as well.

full disclosure, people are fucking weird about her sometimes and that has heavily affected the way i share potentially triggering and usfw content. it doesn't matter how and i am not dreading it or anything, just being careful and learning what i am comfortable putting out and to who i share with.

some friends invited here will be ship partners, but maybe others aren't. some ship partners and close friends may not be here immediately, but that is okay and does not mean they are less valued. just taking it slow, choosing wisely. everyone who is given permission has my trust with her, which is the main thing.

if you find us and recognize us anyways, that's totally fine! i won't hide from you at all and you can ask if i am open to new mutuals here, but please be kind if i need to say no. it's never going to be a permanent no, just a for now thing. we will not be arguing/guilting/shaming anyone! if we need to have any conversation regardless, you will know where to find me when it matters.

if i don't know you at all, we are not mutuals on main, and you attempt to interact or ask to follow, i'm just gonna block without asking any questions. i don't have time to waste telling people not to do anything, just going to remove it from my space.

i know it's really obviously me but please don't go around asking my mutuals if it is. leave my friends in peace. i actually do have to say that.
