Ah, beans!

You aren't a bother my dear! I appreciate the heads up!! <3 Definitely a comfort to know, and I do hope tumblr gets it's shit together soon. x.x My pal Andy ( @amalgamatedmuses ) once suffered a random blog deletion and had to fight to get it back- so this site is a hellsite definitely in more ways than one.

What’s one thing others seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

ooc asks - accepting~!

JUST ONE THING? I have at least three immediately to hand, but the largest and most irksome that I have seen in THIS latest excursion of mine into the tumblr rpc, is how FUCKING PURITAN the kids have gotten.

I've been here, on and off, since 2012. I've lived through trends and things that would make some here grow grey hair and draw ass up to elbows.

From W.incest (understandably uncomfortable and not my cuppa either) to legitimately toxic Sh.eriarty (ahh guilty pleasure ship); to it being common to, under a read more, write visceral torment or mad science experimentation in graphic, gore-porny detail (I'm "guilty" of this last one myself).

So like, this whole fandom sanitisation is jarring to me. 'Creator/creation (think Pygmalion) is awful and gross and equivalent to parent/child-', && 'if you write (insert villain/anyone morally off-kilter) that obviously means you sympathise with them and are objectively an awful person' which- these two are WILD takes, let me tell you.

We have gotten to a point where I've even seen some blogs say 'porn isn't for the dash' (like, as in policing others) which, to each their own, and your comfort is paramount, but do not police those you write with.

I've seen takes about how writing conflict and it's resolution, or unhealthy ships (platonic or otherwise) is toxic and encourages the normalisation of abuse. Which, again, is a wild take and makes me mourn the loss of media literacy.

Fuck I'm bitter and rambly- but the WHY of why I want this to change, is because all of these ideas, whether they have merit or not, only serve to turn writers against each other. It encourages inter-platform abuses- judgements that are not theirs to make. It has birthed a resurgence, and new form of cyber-bullying under the guise of 'being the morally better person'.

Hyper political correctness comes to me to die, fictionally speaking. I will piss on it like a belligerent german shepherd.

FOR SOME REASON, some folks hate unformatted/non-aesthetic replies. I give absolutely no shits. What matters to ME personally is my fellow writer's creativity and readability, and if our muses have chemistry. I prefer my friends to be comfortable; never do I expect anyone to bend over backwards to do anything they can't/don't want to bother with!

You don't do small text? Excellent! No colour emphasis? Amazing, I love you~. No icons? Paint me a portrait with the watercolour of your imagination and let me get lost in the woven patchwork of your creativity.

Not me almost forgetting my own asshole's birthday.

That one does not need to tolerate what one does not wish to. There is no reason to wait for some "justifiable" event to block, or to remove oneself from a sphere of play.

This hobby may be collaborative, but your space is sacred. No matter where you play or with whom. You being uncomfortable is enough justifiability to protect your mental in whatever way you see fit (as long as it harms none).

I have endured far more than I should have over the years, simply because for quite some time, I was afraid of offending someone or losing a friend group. I frequently near-gaslit myself, questioning: was it really as bad as it felt?

And while self reflection is key to growth in all ways, sometimes one can overexamine and overthink.

Your real friends will stay, and those that leave simply because someone else tells them to pick a side were never worth your heart.

I am still coming to terms with the fact that it is legitimately in the bible that God said (paraphrasing) 'I will only accept male ass' [there's a reason why here *long post (Exodus 29:22 | Leviticus 3:9)] and the theoretical hilarity this could provide in RP with angels and Yeshua alike with hunters or spellcasters that are irreverent.

Now; to be abundantly clear I have NO intention of offending those of His faith- my brain is just a debauched creature and won't stop laughing at the various moving pictures we've started.

God is an ass Deity.

// just a blanket statement- if john flirts with your muse, it is never pressure for anything at all. it's just who he is- half the time he has no brain-to-mouth filter, and the other half it's simply a form of communication!
