• If you're gonna be someone who's gonna post your gaining journey or pictures of yourself at all, don't associate your tumblr account with a personal email, just for safety since there are creeps who have doxxed people before

• When your posts start getting more traffic, especially pics and such. You'll get a shit ton of dms, don't answer them all and don't feel pressured to dm or talk to anyone, a good number of them will be creeps or people who don't respect you, take your time and if you do wish to interact with them, choose wisely, everyone and anyone can be nice at the start of the conversation

• There's a reason why many feeders/feedees (such as me) have their dms closed

• Don't feel bad for blocking someone, if they disrespected you and they're still being an asshole, don't hesitate and don't overexplain yourself

• Be critical, just because this is a fat positive space compared to the outside, doesn't mean there's not fatphobia

• Just because someone might seem a "politically correct person" that seems to stand for what's right, doesn't necessarily translate to respect towards you

• I would suggest that you don't show your face or any identifying tattoos, cover them or photoshop them out if necessary, people have been doxxed this way

• There will be people who will only look out for you because of the free content you provide them, and when you stop giving them that, their communication with you will stop as well, my suggestion would be to not give out free content like that, at least not without knowing them

• There's misogyny in this space and quite a lot at times

• People can and will treat you in dehumanizing ways, your well being and mental health should always come first, take a break from this space if it's needed

Gay trans man Phil x Demi Techno

Techno’s known Phil for centuries. He’s been with him through thick and thin. They’ve helped each other through emotional fallouts and wars. Techno supported Phil through his transition. Phil got Techno used to his sudden change to immortality. Even when they leave to travel alone, they always return to each other.

But it’s only now, watching Phil in the morning sunlight, that Techno realizes something. The sunrise spills through the kitchen windows of their little shared cabin and makes Phil’s blond hair and gold feathers shine. He isn’t even doing anything particularly special, just running talons carefully through Steve’s fur as he passes his large slumbering form and setting a cup of tea prepared perfectly in front of Techno.

“I’m in love with you.”

It’s true. It’s snuck up on him. He didn’t think he could love someone as much as he loves Phil. He’s never really felt this connection before, but he feels it so deep in his chest. He’s sure of it now.  He loves Phil to his very soul.

Techno barely realizes he’s said it aloud. It’s only because Phil freezes where he sits across the table, tea tipped to drink, that he even notices. Phil’s tea spills across the table before he gets ahold of himself and sets it down.

“Really?” Phil’s voice is barely above a whisper.

“You don’t have to feel the same-” Techno backpedals quickly. Oh god. He doesn’t want to push any unwanted feelings onto Phil. He’s been with him for so long. But these feelings he holds in his chest are so very fragile. If this were to make him leave, he might just break.

“Feel the same? Wha- Mate!” Phil snaps. He seems to have broken out of his stupor as he jumps to his feet, ignoring the warm tea soaking their kitchen table and his clothes. Techno flinches back, bracing for the worst. “I’ve been in love with you for years!”

Techno flounders, “You have???”

yesss i love this!! techno's long low growls/purrs are soothing like nothing else to phil, especially when phil is laying right on techno's chest, and even though phil claims there's nothing pretty about his bird vocalizations (he's a crow, not a songbird) techno finds them lovely anyway. and after this long of back-and-forth, they can absolutely communicate like this, each of them knowing the particular rises and falls and what they mean.
