#noirenoises

the state of things in this community disappoints me greatly and it is Impossible to avoid it and still find any enjoyable content.

and in regards to making content of my own, i think the ways i have grown most comfortable writing this trope would not agree with the sensibilities of a lot of people! and that's fine, not really upset about that. (that's what having prime is for /j at least someone will always be willing to listen)

more upset that i thought i finally had found the right place to express myself around when i turned 18. but things have just been cyclically miserable around here for roughly a year now. and ive seen things be more disjointed... but honestly, i think this is the most tension i've seen here in ages. and mmm, can't do it.

i don't want to talk at length about what ive been seeing in the tags recently. but i also don't want to perpetuate harmfulness in this community, especially considering the considerable amount of minors and otherwise vulnerable people who take refuge here.

from here on out, my blog's content is going to be solidly rated at 16+. i will likely no longer directly interact with people who are more than 5 years younger than myself, because it now makes me uncomfortable. i will not be blocking people right off the bat, but i will be unfollowing and will no longer follow you back if you're not in my age bracket. to that end, if i ever make you uncomfortable you are more than welcome to block me!

as far as the content of this blog goes, it won't really change. i still find the most comfort in protective, platonic, and familial vorish tropes and that is what i will draw and write as a result. but i most definitely will not be visually depicting any of my younger characters in those situations. i already only ever have implied their existence in my drawn work (as a mere mention or aside in the tags abt their relation to drawn characters), but now i'm absolutely not sharing anything here that isn't simple g/t content of my characters who are under 18. i do not care to have my intent or works misconstrued and at the moment this is not a place i trust not to do that.

i wish i'd had a safe place and people to explore these interests with when i was younger, i wish i hadn't been exposed to or exposed myself to harmful content. but all of this upsets and scares me. makes me glad i chose to lurk until well after i was 18.

hey...... talk to me about characters eating each other? (or my ocs if you want to open that can of beasts)

in a chatty mood lately so asks would be very much appreciated :'D
