Trying my best

Why were you crying? Why did he have to find you crying? Somebody else would be infinitely better suited to comfort you, though that obvious fact made his stomach churn with envy.

Were you going to stop crying? How could he get you to stop crying? Why'd it have to be him, of all demons, to find you? He'd be better off not knowing this ever happened, oblivious to the fact that you were ever upset to begin with.

Leviathan tried to smile warmly at you as he approached. It looked like a twisted grimace. Too much teeth, not enough genuine emotion. He was clearly out of his element.

"What's... up?" he asked, his voice an octave too high. He realized immediately it was a stupid way to phrase things.

"Levi..." Your voice quivered. It was also higher than usual, and quieter, and sounded like you swallowed a mouthful of rocks.

He was much faster to bridge the gap between you after hearing that. He didn't know why. Leviathan didn't like hearing your voice that way. Couldn't you speak normally?

He extended a hand, the only thing he was able to offer in the moment. You took it and more, stumbling into him and burying a tear-streaked face in his jacket.

"Woah, woah! Okay! You...! Ghh!"

Your hands trembled and your shoulders shook. It was really awkward. Leviathan's fake smile fell away, he was lost and concerned and confused. There was no manual on what to do with a sad human. Demons were usually the ones causing the tears in the first place. There was no good reason to know how to cure them until now.

What would they do in those human anime? Leviathan put a soft hand on your back, slowly, like you would fall apart if he did something wrong.

"Hey, uh, I'm here for you. Okay? Don't cry... Or, maybe do? Let it all out."

You started crying harder. Oh no. Oh damn. That was bad, right? It had to be. He messed up. At this rate, Leviathan was going to stress out and start tearing up himself. He needed a new plan.

He decided you were gonna cry it all out. Leviathan grabbed you by the waist and pulled you into his shoulder. That'd totally make you cry, right? And then the tears would all come out, and then you'd stop crying, and he could go back to playing Mononoke Land without listening to those awful, terribly sad sounds you were making.

Drops of your tears rolled down Leviathan's shirt. He didn't immediately notice the snot mixed in with it, he was too focused on the irregularity of your breath against his shirt and the way you clung to his jacket, fingers intertwined in the hem. Good thing you couldn't see his face. It was as red as yours.

Like, animal and environmental rights activism is so misunderstood by the people within the movement who are doing it for all the wrong reasons, and it’s mostly because they do not understand that animal rights and human rights are so intrinsically connected that you cannot seperate the two at all without watering down your activism into a complete nothingburger.

Wild how abusive artists like Micheal Jackson can have biography movies made and not a single mention of accused abuses or the subsequent trials will be mentioned.

References to both these men in other medias - songs and movies and old TV shows that are on streaming services now - have been censored or removed entirely because people don’t want the association specifically because of what came out in Diddy’s trail and the accusations about MJ.

And btw regardless of peoples personal opinions, MJ was found not guilty on all charges but the damage to his reputation from the trial was irreparable and definitely impacted him financially as well as how widely reported his depression was the last 4 years of his life before he overdosed, so actually yeah there were very clear social consequences.

I remember people calling out others for still listening to Chris Brown. People stopped listening to Morgan Wallen when he was recorded saying a racial slur. People stopped watching Johnny Depp’s movies.

JKR is a famously vocal transphobe and actively funds and promotes state and personal violence against trans people, trans women especially. Lots of people who were BIG Harry Potter fans, people who had been fans for decades, some their whole lives, no longer engage with HP in any way because of JKR’s shitty personal views.

T Swift is not the first and only celebrity - woman or not- to have call out posts made about them and their fans.

And be for real, even if all her fans stopped supporting her right this second, she would still be fine because she’s a fucking billionaire, she’s already got more money than she could ever spend.

It’s not “may have possibly” anything, it was her wedding and she chose to invite a man who runs a fucking concentration camp, with multiple documented sources able to prove that. Her willing association with a person who runs an ice concentration camp has nothing to do with being a woman and everything to do with being a shit person.

Been done to me by people of both genders. 

Also I have been guilty of doing this, so I apologize. Because I was overly excited and just couldn’t wait to talk…. yeah. 

DM me if youre interested!

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

He followed MC to their job.

He gets up in MC's personal space all the time.

He watches MC sleeping and on the first night, MC wakes up with a strange taste in their mouth that is "up to interpretation."

There's plenty of times where "if you refuse, he makes you do it anyway." Oh. You wanted to run away instead of listening to him talk? Pushes you down on the bed anyway. Oh. You don't wanna visit him at the circus anymore? Drugs you and locks you up so you can't run away from him because he's worried he'd lose you.

Boundaries? Where?
