I can't stop thinking about this morning's anon and some of their wording. "This was so scary to write because if any of my friends knew about this my life would be over".
It's short but I honestly felt so bad for them. They really don't need this on top of their other experiences. And what's worse, this is the common mentality now: I keep seeing, on Twitter and Tiktok screenshots, teenagers who genuinely ask if a ship they like is "proship", with the underlying message being "please don't bully me".
And listen to me. I am the most insecure bitch on the planet. I would literally eat my own hands with ketchup and mayonnaise rather than reveal my music tastes to other people. I've been endlessly mocked for my passions ever since I was a child - not bullied, but I've been told by parents and classmates that no one cares, or I'm too old for this, or I need to live in the modern world... long story short, to this day I do not want to be perceived. So I understand the feeling of "you will pry my true tastes from my cold dead hands". I am old enough to know these are irrational thoughts, but to this day I much prefer to keep things to myself.
So listen: you deserve friends who do not judge you.
Again:
You deserve friends who do not judge you.
It's one thing to prefer to keep your tastes private because you're a private person. That's fine! That is your right! But please, if you really think your friends will hate you because you happen to read Problematic™ fiction... no, that shouldn't happen. Especially not on the internet, where nobody should know about you as a person. Friends who do care about you would not think any less of you for something as common (yes it's common!) as enjoying some spicy stories. It is not a crime. It does not say anything about your morals. And it's even worse if you've already suffered in the past, but this goes for everyone.
I don't want to get into the whole pro/anti ship discourse because I am sick of how easily the internet twists the meaning of important words until discussions can't be had because the two factions are not even talking about the same thing anymore. I don't know anon's previous or current stance on shipping, what they meant by that comment, and again the wording worries me a little when combined with that other comment. I do have my thoughts about it that go beyond what "proship" means, and I'll summarize:
not only no one deserves harassment for what they ship, but the only thing you can judge from someone's writing is their writing level. Not their actual personality, not their experiences, and less of all their real-life morals.
Brand this backwards on your forehead and read that in the mirror everytime you wake up.
Anyway. I don't know if you'll read this, anon, but I really wish you all the best luck in the future. And I'm very glad that you approached me to tell me that - as sad as the circumstances are, and I'm sorry for being self-aggrandizing, your praise made my day :)

Bluh back to prey mode. Tired of people commenting on my face or my outfit, even if it’s well intentioned. I don’t care if you think I’m going to be too hot in this shirt. It doesn’t matter if I look sad this is my face let me do my fucking job.
Stomachs don’t do that. They go grrr and burgble and it doesn’t matter how you present yourself as long as you taste good and can give a decent belly rub or be a nice weight.
And no one Perceives you
It’s your own private room
Can be whoever the fuck I wanna be in tummy

"Put them in whatever vault you like, bury them, drop them in the ocean, for all I care. All that matters is that they’re yours now."
Okay but I can't be the only one seeing a reference to fears and entities and statements here, right?
Like, Jon Chester reading about the Magnus Institute already had my attention, but this? Coincidence? I don't think so.

i’m neutral on omegaverse but just an observation…
omegaverse has such potential to be true gender fuckery and ppl explain it as such but then you get into it and it’s like: omegas: the one with reproductive organs who’s more feminine vs alphas: the more masculine one
and don’t even get me started on how “omega’s are second class citizens/ sex slaves” plots end up playing out
smh i’ve seen straight smut more subversive

Also another note: WHy DO PEOPLE SKIP THE STORY RESEARCH SO MUCH!? DONT DO THAT!! its extremely hard to find character info, animation and story content when the 90% of the players do that, especially in local and exclusive events like today's Hoenn go tour with team go rocket.
"Reading is exhausting, boring and too much work, i dont wanna" you dont have to? Recording alone and not skipping it so fucking fast would be enough. Like bruh have some sympathy for those who wanna enjoy said content and cant even afford to have the access to it.. i say this cause it almost seemed impossible to find any content because of that today, almost seemed like a miracle and yet there's only bad recordings of the rocket leaders being skipped imidiately.
