If they didn't want me to become obsessed with Aegon then they shouldn't have made him greasy and pathetic

“but he does so many awful things—” his victims are fictional and I lack self-preservation instincts, try again

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

An Unsexy Post About Censorship

Sooo...gumroad is shutting down NSFW content sales because of Stripe and Paypal. This is also why Wishtender has been down as well, if you weren't aware. And why Patreon is also cracking down on anything remotely kinky.

(If you're wondering why your favorite FICTIONAL sexual content isn't allowed on most platforms, it's payment processors.)

Please be extra kind to anyone who works with NSFW content right now, whether it be art, writing, audio, photos or video. Whether it be tasteful erotica, or the kinkiest BDSM porn you can think of, we're all in the crosshairs right now.

And, judging by trends from these past few years, this is only going to get worse.

Support NSFW creators where you can, whether by tipping or buying our content (where you still can) or just helping boost content on sites where algorithms want to drown us out.

Call representatives where you can and complain about payment processors acting as arbiters of what YOU are and aren't allowed to pay for and enjoy.

This may be about porn right now, but censorship of this caliber doesn't just stop with porn. Any transgressive (read: non-conservative) media is fair game.

Fight against it where you can. Support creators where you can.

Art is important. Reflections of our sexuality are important. We don't want a world where people aren't free to make or see the things they love and enjoy.

everyone who doesn't include the full quote when mocking GRRM's "what was Aragorn's tax policy" rhetorical question owes me $200

Fanon Remus is the bane of my existence. I want to gouge my eyeballs out every time I see it. Who is this asshole that behaves as though he's superior to everyone else around him? This aloof imposter that rolls his eyes constantly and says intentionally hurtful things to Sirius for shits and giggles? Who is this edgy, streetwise, Cool Dude™ natural genius with chiseled muscles and superhuman strength that towers over everyone else both physically and intellectually? He's so far removed from the actual Remus Lupin it would be laughable if it weren't so infuriating.

Let's get this straight.

If I discuss JC's canon negative traits from the novel, that is not 'character bashing' nor does it make me a JC 'anti'.

It's not my fault his canon traits are mostly negative. It is simply how he is in the book.

Thinking about how bittersweet it must've been for Alfred to watch Bruce age. On the one hand, he's relieved and happy his kid got to build a family and survive despite everything. And on the other, he gets an insight into what Thomas would've looked like, see the Manor return to the kind of warmth and noise it once had.

my dealer: got some straight gas its called raskalnikov's delirium you'll be zonked out of your gourd

my buddy, pacing: ilia petrovich suspects us of the murders

sigh thinking about how iv is definitely a phenomenal cook. he enjoys the experience of cooking in the kitchen, picking a recipe and preparing it accordingly to nourish the bodies of those that he loves.

thinking about how if someone he cares about is sick he's instantly in the car on the way to the grocery store to get ingredients for soup, and he's slaving over that pot to make sure it's perfect.

he scoops it into a bowl, letting it cool a little bit while he prepares a small piece of toast to go with it. Then he's bringing it to them in bed, asking if they need anything else, even though they didn't even ask for the soup (but obviously they're accepting it graciously. he made their favorite, after all).

if the soup wasn't enough, maybe the warmth of his love could heal you

Leaving the comicfury forums

The place is enabling transphobic, bigoted users to run rampant. The vibes of the place have become absolutely putrid. The smallest ideas about human rights get turned into ridiculous debates. Referring to people by their pronouns is not up for debate. I've been stalked and harassed by people on that site for four years because I blocked them, and what have the mods done? Nothing. They let it happen. I'm tired of being on the defense all the time.

I've spent almost 8 years on the site, and for what? I've met some great people on there, but one by one, most of them left, because the forum is filled with people who hurl insults at 14 year olds and act like being transgender is a thought experiment. Anyway, I'm keeping my comic hosted on there, but you're not going to see me on the forums anymore.

I'm genuinely upset about this, because I've spent so much time there. I've met great friends, had fun times, joked around, laughed. I didn't agree with how things went sometimes, but I stayed because I had the opportunity to meet people and I was having a lot of fun. Watching it being taken over by bad faith actors, bigots, transphobes, and alt righters has been incredibly heartbreaking for me. It's exhausting. I've tried to carry on, but I can't do it anymore.

two nights ago: [vivid dream about having a panic attack, gasping and wheezing, heart pounding painfully, curled up on the kitchen floor shaking while my family has dinner in the other room]

last night: [vivid dream about apologizing to my friends that i'm depressed again, feeling weighted down by all of it, on the verge of collapsing because it's too heavy, darkness encroaching]

me irl: genuinely just chilling

If you are using a dating/hookup app, you should provide a clear photo of yourself

The picture should be of you, not someone else!

The picture should be recent!

The picture should show your entire face!

The picture should show your smile!

The picture should show your hair/baldness!

The picture should give a general idea of your body type!

Please also be truthful about your height, weight, age, and job, if you are choosing to include those bits of info in your profile.

love how some fma fans treat winry like a girlboss but then they see fma 03/cos and they whine that winry was all alone.

like some of you just reduce winry to ed's wife/gf and it shows

[the-shifting-long]

actually the insides of a girl look like this!

and it's pretty awesome really. i think it's cool that women are creatures who are real and have guts and viscera inside of them and they sweat and bleed and eat and breathe and all sorts of things that real animals and thus real people do.
