── ANNOUNCEMENT

hi everyone!! soo this is going to be a bit of a different post for me—kind of like an announcement regarding me and this blog. it’s something i’ve been reflecting on for a while, and i recently got an ask in my inbox regarding something kinda similar, so i figured now’s the right time to address it! (it’s gonna be long, so i’m adding a cut here lolz) 

i’ve been thinking a lot about the boundaries of my blog, especially as i grow and continue exploring my own writing style, what i choose to include in my works, and what i repost or recommend here. so im gonna tackle all of that in one go as best and as clearly as i can so pls bare with me heh —

first & foremost. regarding the recent ask i received in my inbox. they brought up a fic that i reblogged the other day that included noncon themes. i want to first say right away that i do not condone or glorify nonconsensual acts in any way. i fully am aware that these are serious and sensitive issues that can be deeply triggering, and i’m truly sorry if the repost caused upset to the anon or anyone else. that said, when i choose to reblog fics, it’s always because i admire the author’s craft, their talent, their writing style, the effort put in. i’m always here to support my fellow moots and authors. enjoying a piece of writing or appreciating an author’s skill does not mean i support the actions portrayed in fiction, especially not harmful ones. fictional content can explore dark or difficult themes, but that does not equate to my real-life beliefs or values. i trust that if you are old enough to be on tumblr, you are old enough to understand the difference, but i still want to clarify my stance. this will be the only time i address this on my blog. if anyone ever feels uncomfortable with the content i post or reblog, that’s completely okay—feel free to unfollow. we’re all allowed to curate our own spaces :) 

second thing i wanted to address — my blog boundaries. this is something i’ve never really talked about officially, but it’s been on my mind lately—especially as my writing style and interests continue to grow. when i first made this blog five years ago (i was 18 and writing lighthearted sfw fics for fun—and still am lol) my content naturally drew in a similar younger audience. and even now, i’ve made a lot of amazing moots and friends that are around my age or even younger. i’ve always had my age listed on my blog, and i trust that if you’ve interacted with me, chosen to follow, or wanted to become moots, you’re aware of my age and that i’m now 23. that being said, as i grow as a writer (and as i literally grow as an adult lol) i’ve been exploring more ideas—including more mature/nsfw themes. and while my current original works are all still sfw, i’m aware that i repost content that may be nsfw and i also do plan on writing/including nsfw works in the future. so here's where i want to be super clear:

my blog isn’t labelled 18+ because my work currently is not nsfw nor will all my work in the future include nsfw themes. in fact, all my wips right now (which are clearly posted on my blog) are all sfw! (minus one but i haven't added that to my wip post yet!)

however, if and when something i post or repost is labelled nsfw or mdni, and you are underage, please do not interact with it.

i trust that you’re responsible enough to respect those boundaries. i’m not here to babysit or censor myself in my own space.

i want my blog to be a space for community, creativity, & support—but i also want to be honest about what i want to write, where i am now, & what i’ll be sharing! if any of that, including my age or the direction of the content i make/repost, makes you uncomfortable, that’s totally okay! you’re always welcome to unfollow and we can live our separate lives in peace! 

i care deeply about maintaining a safe and respectful space for everyone, but i will not limit myself nor what i want to explore. thank you for understanding <3 !

<3,  addie
