     “ YOU KNOW I DON’T NEED protecting, right? i can take care of myself. ”

TRUE. 

       NANCY FROZE THE INSTANT SHE FELT THE GIRL WARM, INVITING LIPS MEET HERS. she had never been kissed by a girl before, but it didn’t mean she had never toyed with that idea. her sexual orientation had been the subject of many interior debates & arguments : her, the virgin stuck up know-it-all high school girl turned out to be the complete opposite. not that she had no use for the former ; it was a good mask to wear. an etiquette that had stuck with her since her freshman year. although here, in a second, this charade vanishes & nancy finds herself answering the girl’s unexpected kiss with unexpected passion, hands finding her waist to pull her closer. 

the irony is that that’s not what’s happened. i’ve been watching the notes pile up on the post, and a lot of them are just wanting a list of links. i’ve also had people just wanting the donations matched and not even bothering asking for promos. those who do have been very kind about it. i understand the criticism, but to me it’s a very removed position. my brother in law’s life depends on blood donations and where i live, they don’t have incentivized blood donations, everyone who donates blood does it for free, unlike other nations that offer financial or tax incentives to do so. the result is that blood services here very often have dangerously low levels of blood, which puts the lives of people such as my brotherin law at risk. as a result, my brother in law very much supports incentivized donations because it’s better that the donations are coming in as a result of incentives than not coming in at all. it makes me truly upset that people are turning this into a way to bully people who want something in return for their donation rather than trying to find a way to ensure as much money as possible can be given to a cause. when it comes to my brother, i don’t care if the blood that saves his life was or wasn’t incentivized, i’m just grateful he got the blood because it could fucking save his life. anyways, that’s my perspective on it lmao.
