#sorry if this was a mess

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

hello, its me! the anon who asked for your opinion abt shipping Alastor with other characters :)

firstly, thank you for answering! i totally agree that, if you build on a character's canon aro/ace orientation, then shipping them would be okay. ive just heard other people say doing that was aroace erasure, and i didnt feel like i had much say, because (as previously stated) im aceflux and nebularomantic.

my sexuality fluctuates, and i cant really tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction, which is why i didnt feel qualified to put out my opinion on such matters

i also feel like i should apologize, bc i kinda feel like my ask may have snowballed into some sort discourse? idk, just from what i saw when looking at the blog every now and then, it looked like some shit was going down, revolving around Alastor 😭

now, onto why im here: why should someone do if a person they looked up to, who outwardly supported the aroace community, turns out to be a horrible person? (im sure that some people reading this can already guess who im talking about)

i feel so icky about the situation, bc ive supported and loved this person for years. all of the songs theyve ever written have been so aro-coded (as said by aromantics), and a vast majority of their fanbase is aromantic/on the aro/ace spectrum, myself included. they even spoke about their love for the aromantic community openly, and now, with them being exposed as a horrible person, i dont really know how to feel. is there any advice you could give me and others who are in the same boat? /nf

—sincerely, 🦢🦌

No it’s all good! The discourse was started by me ducking up and some people taking it slightly to far.

Unfortunately I do know who you’re talking about. I was in that fandom back in 20-22 ish, and I couldn’t be happier that I left. Honestly. I don’t know ANYthing about the situation other then someone being revealed to be a piece of shit for some reason and I would like to keep it that way:

I don’t need to know the details about what this person did.

Small side note before I begin:

I think the problem is a lot of people have put people like that on a pedestal while not knowing anything about them. 

The big difference between e- celebrities and true (actors, singers, rich assholes ect) celebrities is the accountability of the public. True celebrities have been held accountable much sooner and to much more effect then e-celebrities due to the fact that the media cares what they do. The paparazzi ect

People talking about not listening to said persons music anymore: reminder that it’s not only them who produces and plays that music. Don’t listen to their solo shit, burn CDs rip it off YouTube, piracy is on the rise.

The rest of the people involved with the band are NOT at fault here and their career and income should not have to suffer for an asshole.

“Cancel” the person not the team.

You can still relate to something without relating to the asshole

You can still relate to something without being the asshole

Be respectful

Listen to victims

And a word for my aspecs ->

The amount of straight people who are just as bad doesn’t matter here, no matter what happens next, all people will see is “he supported aroace spec people” and will try and use it.

Ignore that block them and report harassment

Stay safe anon

CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS, READ AT OWN RISK!!

By now we’ve come to know of Hob Gadling, a once mortal man just like everyone else, who’s now immortal and loves life, loves living, no matter what life throws at him. And who also meets up once every 100 years to share his experience with Dream, the lord of dreams who helped secure Hob’s wish to never die. Anyways though, I recently saw a post where someone said that maybe the reason Hob loves life and continues to want to live is because of Dream and I love that. It also helped solidify a thought I already had before seeing that! Dream dies in the comics, and then I guess at the end of them we see Destruction Seeing Hob and Dream together in a “dream.” What if Hob stops wanting to live after Dream dies?? I think Death is the one to deliver the news?! And then he does die or something and this scene that we will see of them was of some after life of them together??????!!!!!!!!!??????  Or if not an afterlife, maybe it’s Hob living in the dreaming with the version of Dream he knows!!!!????!!!!! I doubt it though, it’s just some harmless theorizing and speculation, but still, I guess one could dream in a since.

—  content  warning  preface  :  no  warnings  necessary  <3  he’s  just  a  spoiled  man

giovanni vittorio . a classic case of a spoiled rich boy who’s never had to work a day of real , true hard work a day in his life .

the oldest , the favorite . 

born as the first son , the first child of the vittorio family , everything has been handed to giovanni on a freshly shined silver platter . his parents , especially his mother ( as mothers do ) adored him from the moment they finally laid eyes on him . from day one he got everything and anything he could ever want — and when his sibling came along , his only younger sister , the spoiling his parents did of him didn’t cease .

his his father’s side of the family had immigrated to north america from italy to start a fresh life . their family has always been full of hard workers and that’s led the vittorio family to have the legacy around its name that it did .

despite his father being a well - known , well respected and successful business man , giovanni didn’t know the first thing about what his father did for a living . he didn’t question the hand that fed him or how money seemed like it would never run dry .

all he focused on was his own personal life , not his father’s .

gio only attended private schools growing up . prestige private schools . ever heard of the harvard - westlake schools ? i feel like that says enough about his school life . 

he was always a good student . always . there was never a class he got less than an A in , he was a straight A student throughout middle and high school . he loved school and he loved to learn . but it was never the full challenge he was looking for .

needing some sort of challenge led him to taking up sports in school . he tried out most of them : soccer , baseball , track , even lacrosse , but he found his love of basketball and played it all throughout high school . even got offered full ride scholarships from a handful ( that’s being modest ) of universities across the nation . but after high school he stopped playing .

eventually , as he grew older , his father took to teaching him the ‘ family business ‘ as you could put it . straight out of high school , before he even started his first year of college , his father put him to work at his prideful company . he learned everything there was to running a company as heavily rooted into the industrial world .

it took until he was graduated from college , with a master’s degree under his belt ( still having worked at his father’s company as he earned his degree’s ) , that he decided that he needed a break from the soul sucking business life . 

so he decided to take a short hiatus in none other than sunset hills , ca .

now here he is , slowly falling in love with the life he’s accidentally started building in this cute town .

、 ⠀ ་ ⸼ ⸒ ✴ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲  ›

one thing about giovanni : he’s full of himself .

he’s confident , headstrong , more than sure of what he’s capable of and he lets himself get cocky because of it . 

he grew up getting everything he wanted just because he asked so of course , even as an adult now , he’s still going to have that attitude when it comes to things

which also means that when things don’t go his way he might get angry or frustrated , it might make him snap or shut down . but it’s not something he means to do intentionally ( not always anyways ) . sometimes he’s a man who acts before he thinks and it’s something he’s often guilty of 

but another important thing about him : he’s not afraid to spend his money . if he likes you he will spend money doing whatever he thinks will make you happy . this is more of something he does in a romantic sense but he’s known to gift expensive things to his friends too . that’s just what he does and he doesn’t think much about it 

i can ramble on and on but the gist is giovanni is a spoiled rich boy who acts like it until he thinks better of it . sometimes he can be a really decent human being , sometimes he’s an ass who doesn’t think before he acts . but yk maybe that’s all part of his charm .

Corrupted One

for @verdant-succubus

[eric-the-disposable-demon]

Uh-

just found out my cousin (who lives in England) is in the art department of a bunch of shows??? And she worked oN DOCTOR WHO? AND HAD LUNCH WITH DAVID TENNANT???? and she just told me so casually because she's interested in the art, not the show? I mean, excuse me? She worked on SHERLOCK???? FOR A WHOLE SEASON?? She worked on Peaky Blinders and Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones??? And probably other things because she has a shitty memory and according to her everything is a blur?? AND AT ONE POINT SHE WAS LIKE: "oh and have you ever heard of Neil Gaiman?" And I was trying not to scream, because yes, of course I've heard of Neil, he's only my favorite author, I've only read like all of his books multiple times, and if you say you worked on Good Omens or the Sandman I'm going to lose it completely. So I said "yeah I've read a couple of his books," -you know, like a liar- "what about him?" and she goes "well I worked on one of his shows and he's brilliant i just can't remember which one" and i go "w-what do you mean he's brilliant? You're.. you're talking about his writing... his writing is brilliant, right?" And she cheerfully says "oh no I don't read books, I ment he was really nice and brilliant when I talked to him" and i go "WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT" and she thinks for a moment and goes "oh! BRICKS" WHAT IN THE WORLD YES NO THAT MAKES SENSE YOU GET TO WORK AND TALK WITH NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN AND YOU TALK ABOUT BRICKS? NO THAT'S TOTALLY NORMAL I'M NOT MAD ".... it was what I was designing at the time, I needed to know what vibe the bricks should have. Anyway want to see the spinning fireplace I made for doctor who" WHAT THE FUCK.

@neil-gaiman do you remember any brick conversations by any chance

Astarion Romance Headcanons 🥀

SFW:

Side glances when you're besides him

Full on staring when you're not

Immediately looking away when you catch him

"You know the way he looks at you, don't you, soldier?"

His pinky itching towards yours when you're walking, wanting to hold your hand but unsure because, is it too much? Will you reject him?

His hands scrunching up your shirt tightly whenever you hug. He's always the last to let go.

You hold on longer and longer each time because he doesn't want to let go.

His kisses are tender and needy.

He likes the warmth of your hands.

Thinking of what tones will suit your perfume the best. He'll gift it to you after all this is over.

He'll sew the holes or tears in your clothes over the night and pretend he doesn't know what happened next morning.

When you move to kiss his cheek he will grimace in annoyance but lean in as you do it.

"Be careful around Astarion, (Tav). He's not serious about you.", the others will warn you. And Astarion will worry you'll heed their words more than his so he'll do so much to prove his love to you, not knowing that you already trust him (even if that is an objectively stupid thing to do lmao).

He started sleeping next to you from the moment you had sex but ever since you've entered the shadowlands, he ends up cuddling in the middle of the night. He misses the sun.

He likes kissing the palm of your hand or its back.

Likes to pack your bag before you leave camp.

"No one's ever going to love me like that again."

Ever since you told him that there's more to him than just beauty and sex, that he's hilarious, for instance, he finds ways to make you laugh. He loves it. He's started being a lot more sarcastic and makes more jokes just to hear your laughter. He'll never admit it, of course. Other than maybe when it's only you two.

Doesn't believe he will be able to love again if you let go of him.

"Don't be so nice to me." he says with round, needy and pleading eyes.

Thinking of ways he can show others you're together so others know you're not available.

Hiding his jealousy, terribly.

He will rip the throat out of anyone with malicious intent towards you.

"I will wait the whole of my life for you, Astarion." He doesn't believe it at first, but the longer you go on without sex the safer he feels and the more he wants you.

NSFW:

He sometimes cries silently at night, wishing he could make love to you without it feeling so tainted. He wants it so badly, but his past experience prohibits it. The pain of wanting something and being unable to have it only because of himself is too much. He blames himself too sometimes. Wishing he could give you more.

"I don't mind waiting.", you'd say.

"I do. I can't have you, no matter how much I want you.", he'd say.

When you cuddle him sensing he's upset, he will bury his face in your neck to hide his tears. The smell of you is comforting.

Needing you everytime you're tender with him.

Getting aroused when you hug during a kiss.

Wanting to kiss your skin all over, to make you cry from pleasure as you bury your face in his neck.

Wanting you to hold on to him for dear life as you climax.

When he's finally comfortable enough and takes charge of his own sexuality, he'll be so needy.

Realising that the two nights he had sex with you were nothing compared to how good making love to you feels.

When you give up all control to him, letting him do to you as he wants, the pleasure is almost too much bear. The power he feels is palpable and knowing it is you who trusts him so much will drive him near mad.

He will lose control many times so you have a safe word.

You both think of the stupidest word possible as a safe word. Something that makes you both laugh when it's used.

He likes over stimulating you, making you beg and he'll kiss you to calm you.

"It's okay, you can do it, darling.", he'll say stroking you even further and kissing your tears.

"Does that feel good, my love?"

The more you beg the more he loves it.

He likes playing with your hands, holding them in his, touching your fingers, comparing them to his while you rest on his chest, still warm from him being inside of you.

Resting his head against your chest to hear your heartbeat.

Staring at your face and body intently. Taking in every little reaction you make and replaying them over in his head throughout the day.

Staring at you longingly when you're both with the squad, failing terribly at focusing in battle or conversation.

Getting aroused when you're covered in blood.

Seeing you fighting, in general, turns him on. The smell of your sweat, your rapid heart beat, the way your body moves, all of it now only reminds him of making love to you.

Telling you to say his name whenever he's feeling good and you'll chant it as you cum. He loves how it sounds from your lips.

Resting his forehead against yours as he's close to cumming.

"Look at me.", he'll command you.

He likes when your hands rake his hair, pull his hair, tug it whatever. That slight bit of pain arouses him. Better yet, if you bury your nails into his skin.

He likes to look at you falling asleep. It's such a gentle thing. How can someone so strong otherwise be so soft around him? Why him? Why did someone like you choose someone like him? He can't believe he has you.

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

literally cannot trust white lgbtq ppl because they need to insert white queerness into a cause in order to care about it

trans Palestinians are here. gay, bi, pan, ace, gnc... etc Palestinians. we HAVE been here the whole time. if you even care lmao

you don't need to literally stalk the social media of a dead man who wanted to be identified as a cis man in his final moments to inject white queerness into our cause.

actually examine why you need to speculate about a hypothetical white trans woman remaining closeted when there are closeted queer Palestinians in Gaza who lived and were martyred in the closet. countless living queer Gazans who are just trying to survive. who don't feel the need to live tweet about being queer under genocide because it's none of everyone's business

Examine why someone has to share an axis of oppression with you in order for you to care about them at all? the lives of queer people are not more valuable than the cishet people under genocide and Israeli rockets will not discriminate.

what the fuck is wrong with you?

i like to think that the tentacles in dungeon meshi are kinda like mushrooms or perhaps even lichens in that they are very confusing to identifty and have 200 completely different species that look very similar ("delicious brown tentacle vs BROWN DEATH TENDRIL") and you need to be an Expert to determine the difference between some of the more confusing species and some of them have like 300 different sexes and some of them are actually composite creatures composed of several different species and somehow yeast is involved and also no one really knows half of whats going on with them and in like 50 years someones gonna figure out that uhm actually these are two completely different types of tentacle creatures that arent related like at All they jusf happen to look similar and oh btw that one common house mold is actually a tentacle
