hello!! I rlly wanna try petre as a coping mechanism (I used to do agere and it helped, but petre would probably be a better coping mechanism for me.) U got any tips??? Pls and thank uuu 🐐🐐

Hi there ! Sorry this took me a bit to answer, but I do have some tips ! First you should figure out what animal you would want to regress to, that way you have a basis on what you should do ! But some tips would be to act like that animal (example if you were a cat, meow and play with cat toys like bells !), eat food that corresponds to your animal (like if it were a rabbit, eat vegetables !) and if you can, go into the environment that your animal is from ! (Like a wolf, go into the forest !) for the most common animals, people also like to make ‘nests’ to sleep in !

OH NO WE NEED MORE GREG, that anon went OFF oh I’m so here for this poor professor!!! I can just imagine that infodemon giving Greg new information that he turns into his lectures, but always changes the name of his sources whenever asked. Because writing ‘the demon in my stomach’ on his academic citations isn’t exactly,,the best idea. I love Greg, we need more tired Greg just waddling around with this constantly pregnant belly heavy with literal knowledge, just tryna live his life the best he can

I ALSO LOVE GREG HERES SOME NEW GREG FACTS I JUST CAME UP WITH

-he is kinda short and squat and been on T for so long everyone just assumes he’s maybe been indulging too much in beer lately. He is fine with this

-he’s the kinda guy you’ll think is just sort of a standard, generally nice middle aged math teacher. And then like two weeks into class you’ll get him on a passionate twenty minute rant about some contentious theorem in which he also alludes to the fact that he may have committed several counts of arson and also broke up the head of the art departments marriage

-he finds inaccuracies in his non-math coworkers’ writing all the time and it drives him fucking insane because he can’t correct them because they’ll be like “Greg literally how would you know this”

-his partner is a history teacher and sometimes Greg will tell them some absolutely wild shit like “did you know Alexander the Great was actually an urban legend and we just think he was real because of an elaborate prank” and they’ll lose their fucking mind because they can never actually prove it

-Greg has been tasked with teaching Dave math. Greg does not particularly like when students know he’s pregnant or when they are utterly and completely incompetent in every way. Dave loves Greg’s class. Greg is in hell

-after a few years, the infodemon creates a sort of avatar in the form of a human child alongside itself in its host’s womb. The demon is permanent but that hyper-magic baby sure ain’t!

-Greg definitely does not realize that he’s suddenly not just pregnant with a weird but unchanging demon, but also with an actual baby he has to give birth to, until one day he’s like “huh I sure am having some intense stomach cramps wonder what that’s all about”

I have seen three different "how much of this site is queer" polls this evening poking fun at staff's 1/4 assertion and not a single indication any of them understand statistics. One someone even replied "This might have some sampling bias" what do you mean might what do you mean SOME

I’m not trying to attack you, but do you know that proshipper means someone who supports and romanticizes pedophilia, incest, and abuse? Your reblog on that post seems to read that you think antis just hate on people for having ships they don’t like. But it’s completely different than that. Just looking on the proshipper side of Tumblr and the internet and you can see people happily shipping children and adults and making nsfw content of such things.

i appreciate that you're not being outright hostile, but i have to say, that on its own put you above basically every anti i've interacted with.

i understand where antis are coming from, i really do. there are a lot of things on the internet that make me deeply uncomfortable, including the minor/adult ships that you mention. i don't want to anything to do with those kinds of ships and i would be happiest if i never saw them again. which is why i'm proship.

nine times out of ten, if i see that kind of ship brought up on my dash, it's because i was following an anti without realizing it, and they brought it up unprompted and untagged, to talk about how bad it is that they exist. they are the ones putting that kind of content in front of my face and making it harder to avoid.

the thing about people who ship those ships is that they're generally very aware that not everyone wants to see that kind of content, and so they tag it. they make sideblogs to talk about it. they don't go out of their way to shove it in people's faces. that means i, and everyone else who doesn't like it, can avoid it.

what antis want is for it to not exist at all. they want the tags to be purged and blocked, and for anyone who uses those tags to have their accounts deleted. and sure, that might get rid of some of it, but do you know what would happen to the rest? it would stop being tagged. people who don't want to see it wouldn't have the tools to avoid it. this isn't just a hypothetical, that's what's happened any time a fan space has tried to do that.

that's not even getting into the rabbit hole of what should be banned and what shouldn't. obviously any content that depicts real children or real life abuse shouldn't exist and shouldn't be allowed to be posted, but basically any platform that people use already enforces those policies, and there's not much of a slippery slope to go down there. if it involves real living breathing people being abused, it's bad. end of discussion.

but the same can't be said for fiction. ask ten antis for a specific list of all the content that should be banned, and you'll get ten different answers. what about kink? what about roleplay? what about horror and murder and anything that involves fictional characters being graphically tortured? what about people using art to process terrible things that have happened to them? what about art that uses dark themes as a horror element? if you just want to ban anything questionable to anyone, that's the line of thinking that gets any mention of lgbt existence banned. and again, this isn't just a hypothetical, this has happened before, and that's generally where it leads.

i know, from personal experience, that antis do, in fact, send harassment to people just for shipping things they don't like. i've gotten accused of absolutely vile shit for shipping two fictional characters who were both consenting adults. i've seen ship wars turn into moral battlegrounds, over ships that an average person wouldn't bat an eye at.

the thing about "romanticization" is a whole other can of worms. the anti logic goes like this: if someone sees something (even if it's very obviously fictional) in a positive light enough times, they will start thinking it's okay in real life, and go on to hurt real people. the problem with that is that it's just. blatantly untrue.

if it were true every horror movie fan would be a serial killer, every person that studies dark media would be an unhinged psychopath, and everyone who is into ddlg would be a pedophile. but they're not. they just aren't. people have directed movies just as fucked up as the darkest shit on ao3, and are still capable of being normal human beings who know right from wrong in real life.

even if someone is that impressionable, scrubbing away the existence of every piece of questionable content isn't going to solve their problem, because they're still going to be vulnerable to con men, scams, and cultists. the only thing that would actually materially help someone like that is developing their own morals and critical thinking.

children are also more impressionable, and there's a lot of content that's not suitable for them, but that doesn't mean that content shouldn't exist. it just means that they should stick to spaces designed for them (which most social media sites, tumblr included, are not) or, if they're old enough to be responsible for their experience online, they, or a trusted adult in their lives, should block and filter out things that they aren't comfortable with.

which is what everyone on the internet should be doing. it's what i do, and it's made the internet a much more pleasant place to be. and it's why i sometimes worry for antis mental health, especially teenagers, because they're being told it's right and moral to seek out content that makes them uncomfortable and to engage with the people making it. and that's just. really bad. it's not good for the creators that they're harassing obviously, but it's also really bad for them! it's not healthy to seek out things that make you feel bad, and it's a terrible internet safety lesson to teach minors that it's okay for them to seek out and engage with people making adult content.

individual harassment and crusading is never going to succeed at removing dark content from the internet. it just isn't. at best you might get a small percentage of people who create that content to stop sharing it, at worst you're just going to make people stop tagging it, and either way, you're exposing yourself to things that make you feel bad, when you don't have to.

if you want to materially change the type of content you see, you can. the block button is your friend, use it liberally. same with content filtering and tag blocking.

This trend is old news now but I finally found a second character I wanted to do it with that wasn’t a psychonauts character—

Arcade save me…. Arcade Gannon…. Save me Dr. Gannon…

(good future) Finding Home Pride edition <3

Trans Leo pride is something I see a lot, but personally, FH Leo wouldn't celebrate his gender. He grew up around Gali, who went through a lot of gender struggles, especially in his younger years, and with the brothers being so accepting, it's just another part of his life

But his lack of romantic attraction? That's something that stands out to him. He sees the brothers with their own attractions and crushes and such and realizes he stands out. He's different. But that's okay because he's still him and he's still valid

anyways~ it's pride month, which means i get to be even more annoying about aro pride ^-^

Time's Travels Bookbind

I've hand bound @sky-squido's LU fanfic series Time's Travels! (CW: Temporary character death and Graphic depictions of violence) I've been working on this for the past several months and it's finally ready! I will also be making all the files public in case anyone else would like to make their own binds :D Check below the cut for everything!

This is definetly very rough around the edges due to my lack of proper tools, but im pretty glad with the final result :) If anyone else wants to bind this for yourself, I have shared all files necessary below! I would love to see if anyone does it too!

I do not give permission for any of these artworks and files to be re-sold. It is for personal use only.
