Blog Boundaries
So. It’s come to my attention that I need to set down some ground rules and boundaries. I’ve noticed some, uh, behavior for lack of a better term that just doesn’t sit right with me. So I’m going to lay out my boundaries for my blog and as an artists. I’ll put what I’m ok with and what I’m not ok with so this can kinda be a reference guide for my blog.
This may be a bit harsh and I’m sorry. Those who have gone across those boundaries BEFORE I made this post are ok as long as you start to follow the ground rules from here on.
I am ok with:
- People drawing my AUs and characters as long as you either @ me or mention that it belongs to me. (Hell, I’ll even reblog and help support ur drawings)
- Asks about my AUs and characters in general are ok. From questions about how an AU works/aspects, questions directed to my characters, or even if you wanna give something to the characters (I’ve seen that done in some blogs and as of now I don’t mind that, just pls don’t go overboard, thanks)
- I don’t think I mind inputting your OCs if your doing drawings of my AUs or characters. Just don’t expect me to make it canon or draw it into canon. (This one is iffy I might take this off if it goes overboard)
- Clarification in the comments section. If there was an ask that didn’t fully explain something or you wanted to clear something up then by all means go to the comments I don’t mind. Or put in another ask. That’s another way to do it.
- I also don’t think I mind people putting in requested ideas in asks for now. Tho there’s a chance I won’t do it if I’m not too motivated by the request. (Again this rule may change depending on how it goes from here on)
Things I am NOT ok with:
- Asking me or pressuring me to draw your AUs, characters, or OCs. This has come up a few times but I want to officially put it on record that if you ask me to, I will say no. Even for asks. Any kinds of other OCs or AUs I draw would only be for my close friends.
- Spamming me with the same asks. If you sent in an ask and I didn’t response don’t send in the same ask again. (That includes reiterating the same ask) I can see all interactions with my blog and posts. I see your asks, replies, comments, reblogs, and likes. If I do not respond to your ask it is for a good reason. Sometimes I’m trying to answer other asks, I’m drawing up a response (that takes time), I’m holding on to it for a later date, I’m lacking motivation on answering or I just don’t want to. Pressuring me to answer your ask Doesn’t. Help. Just because you put in an ask doesn’t always mean you’rs entitled to an answer.
- Being aggressive or pushy with asks. I’m ok with playful aggression targeted towards characters (say for example someone expressing they hate Dice from Royalty) that’s ok. But there’s a line. And some have started to toe that line. Please tone it down a bit.
- Please don’t include me in any kinds of drama. Both internet and off. This includes political topics, wars, events, gossip, etc. I seriously don’t want anything to do with it. The purpose of this blog is to share my AUs and ideas and support other artists. Not for internet drama. If you’re gonna tag me it should be about art, AUs, and fandom related. I’m not gonna waste my energy, time, or stress on other stuff like that.
- And ig in terms of topics I want to avoid things like: NSFW, incest, p*dophilia, r*pe, permanent disfiguration (like chopping off limbs stuff outside of I guess whatever I have built into the lore of my AUs), outright physical torture or major character death. (The usual things)
Warning: if you cross one of these boundaries I will give you a few warnings. If you continue to cross boundaries I will block you.
I’m sorry to be harsh about this but I really have to put my foot down on this. I can’t tolerate people who won’t respect my boundaries.
This post might be subject to change and updated as time goes and as I interact more with viewers/readers. If you are wondering if something you’re doing might be crossing a boundary, you can use this post as a reference. I’ll pin it to my blog so anyone can find it.
If you are still not sure or want clarification, or you have a specific circumstance in mind, you can jump down to the comments section of this post, send me an ask, or even go to my DMs (if you want to ask privately). I will more than likely see your question and I’ll try my best to answer as soon as possible. It might take a bit depending on if I’m busy IRL. So please be patient.
Anyway, thank you guys for taking the time to read this and respecting my boundaries. Your support with my blog and art so far is greatly appreciated im excited to continue to interact with y’all going forward! (stars I sound like I’m writing a business email XP)
Also, I apologize if it might come off as harsh or passive aggressive, I’m a little bit steamed at the moment and I’m trying to make this as neutral as possible! 😅
Thanks again,
Midnight/Sanity

ok I don't normally make posts like this but this like just happened and while I blocked the person I think more people should be aware:
So this person was following me and reblogged something from me (a post by a mutual expressing annoyance at people for making statements about the fnaf lore ending at certain points), and in the tags insulted the people the post was referring to by calling them pedos
Obviously this is a bit extreme since there's literally no correlation whatsoever and throwing around terms like that at people they do not apply to only weakens the power of those words when they get used toward someone who is actually the kind of monster they describe. (Also I know as someone with OCD that when I feel like someone is validating my intrusive thoughts it makes them worse. And POCD is a thing. So yeah this person's behavior really has the potential to cause serious mental harm for innocent people)
So, I tried to be civil by privately messaging this person. The following exchange is what occurred:
I took these screenshots at different points 'Cus I could kinda predict where this was going to go. This person started adding publicly in the reblogs on that post screenshots of our messages acting as if I was looking suspicious.... for just trying to be reasonable.
That person also @'ed me questioning why I wasn't responding to these public reblogs. The answer is that I wasn't looking at my notifications and also didn't want to make a scene on people's dashboards, 'cus this stuff really didn't need to be public.
To my knowledge this person is actually a victim too (at least from what little I observed of the blog that's what I managed to get), which makes this behavior even more baffling to me.
Don't engage with this person. I am not trying to call a harassment campaign (genuinely I've been harassed in the past and it's terrible), all I'm asking is for people to block and ignore, and to be wary of you get any messages from this person.

Go then. There are other worlds than these.
I first read these sentences at about sixteen or seventeen. I'm thirty now. I finished the Gunslinger the first time and set it down, returned it to the library (the school one, I think) and ruminated on the book for another year, deciding to give it a go sometime in my senior year of high school.
The second time I attempted the tower, I knew what I was getting into, but it still didn't quite hit. A third attempt another year later and I hit the ground running, grabbing as many of the books as I could from the used bookstore just off my college campus and when I stopped being able to find them, borrowing the library's copies to finish the series in the span of a week.
This specific fucking line tho.
I was so scared when the movie came out that I was going to have to watch this fucking scene happen. Again. And then it fucking DIDNT
Because Ka is a fucking wheel and Roland Deschain finally managed to break that part of the cycle and we didn't get any more.
Other worlds than these. Fucking hell.
