I hope that other anon won't make you quit the YR fandom already so here, I'm sending you a hug and thanking you for bringing so much enthusiasm to our beloved space 💜
Awww thank you so much! 💜
But don't worry, I'm a tough cookie! This isn't my first time in tumblr either lol and as @skibasyndrome said perfectly, nobody should have to apologize for showing joy. So I'll keep being my overenthusiastic self!
Plus I put that on my bio since I created this blog on Sunday, how isn't that enough of a warning? lmao
I still have the best opinion of the fandom! 💜

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.
Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.
There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.
And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.
No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.
If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.
Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.
The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).
Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.
Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.
Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.
I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...

Guys, there's never the right time to say it but what I wanted to say is ..thank you.
To all those who've been following me for some time now, you probably have seen my ventings and you know that my family is abusive, toxic and suffocating.
I'm in a better place now, I'm most likely to stay in Ireland another 2 years and finish BA here before- hopefully moving to the UK- which gives me a space to breathe, far away from my 'parents' who shouldn't be called that in the first place.
But what I wanted to say is massive, huge, enormous THANK YOU- for just being here, replying to my posts, sending messages, lifitng me up, because it's what saved me.

Work's being absolutely ridiculous, so please send me quilt or plushie ideas! Puns and pride flags are bonuses but not required, I'm looking for anything like color combos, patterns, suggestions that are more vibe-based than specific color combo based, anything
It's sorta difficult to figure out what level of detail I have to remove in order to anonymize my job, but basically two of the other people who do my job are out, so I'm helping cover for them, but one of their contractors turned in paperwork showing three different dates for when he did [job that should have only taken one day]. I ended up having to call the customer and ask when our contractor did [job]. Thankfully the customer found it a little funny and was willing to answer, but I hate cold-calling customers to tell them our contractors can't do paperwork correctly and we need their help to fix it

I'm sorry I thought you were fake, as in someone trolling the confessions blog. I'm glad to see you're real though.
Hahahaha omg you're not the only one! I've spent the last day trying to get tumblr to understand I'm real too lmao
No hard feelings! I promise I'm real and all my excitement was and it's still 100% genuine!!! 💜

Artists who draw Princess Peach as fat, my beloved
I love when people redesign canonically thin characters as positively fat! And you even draw Mario with a fat body when sadly most artists thinify him. Thank you!
Aaah it's just one of those things I picked up on Tumblr fkjgfjkdg I can't remember who but an artist I followed drew Pudgy Peach and it's just one of those things that really stuck with me. I can't see her any other way now! The Lovely Princess Toadstool <3
Also any artist who draw Mario OR Luigi thin is an instant block those people get no sympathy.
