#while respecting their boundaries too

[ceekari]

I have two month old kittens. They are young, innocent, and malleable. What fun stuff do I start these babies on so it's normalized for them as they grow up? *tents fingers*

I know multiple of these will be beneficial, but for the sake of this poll...

I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW SPAMTON!! HE LOOKS SO SOFT AND SQUISHY I JUST WANNA HUG HIM!! I usually don't do ask like this but I just had to tell you how much I love the way your spamton looks! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Hi hi, while I appreciate you like my spam so much I wanna reiterate that he isnt a character that would enjoy being hugged or randomly touched from strangers — he is pretty touch adverse and is only comfortable with touch from close friends or family. A handshake or high five would be much more preferable!

Actually I don’t think I’ll ever forgive how Wash’s disability and subsequent ‘cure’ was handled.

headcannon: Seto likes to use eve as a fidget when he is concentrated and working. Squeezing her, flipping her around his fingers like a pencil and messing with her hair

This, but it's actually the reverse.

Kaiba isn't a very touchy-feely kind of person, and when he's working he tends to get extremely hyper focused on what's in front of him, not entirely needing something to fidget with because he's so preoccupied with the task at hand. He also thinks that Eve wouldn't really appreciate being treated like that, considering Eve has a very big stance against being treated as a toy, and tries to keep that in consideration when he's handling her. The only thing he'll really do is hold her hand in his fingers or brush her hair a little bit.

It's actually Eve that tends to use Kaiba to fidget. When she's reading over something she'll reach out and gently pet his fingers, when she's lost in thought she'll absentmindedly stroke his hair, when she's resting she'll run her hands down Kaiba's cheeks and nose, etc. She's essentially Kaiba's opposite, and Kaiba doesn't mind too much because she's so tiny that he barely notices it.

I do think that when you're complaining about people on tumblr saying men dni or cis men dni you do need to add the context of the fact you can literally post a single photo of yourself and have like a dozen straight men with porn blogs in your dms some of them sending sexual messages and photos to you like. immediately.

like someone who's saying that isn't necessarily trying to enforce a gender binary more and when you're trans or genderfluid or transmasc it is like. well I guess I stay away then! and perhaps it's not the most ideal way because of that to set up boundaries. but like it's forming from a certain way this site functions regarding fetishization and sexual harassment, not blatant hatred at the mere concept of masculinity.

sorry i just. need to rant for a second

[aziraphale-protection-squad]

right. so. i'm taking the angel and i'm wrapping him in a soft blanket and i'm telling him that NO ONE has the right to touch him without his consent.

no matter how well they know each other and got along previously.

or how angsty the person feels about possibly never seeing him again.

or how much Aziraphale might even possibly WANT to be intimate with that person on some level, someday, when they're okay again.

there are no ways around this:

if he's not READY for it, or if he's not in the MOOD for a kiss, then NO ONE SHOULD BE KISSING HIM. PERIOD.

People who don't know dog body language who have pushy sketchy dogs are so awful to be around. I told our housemates that their dog Klaus doesn't like me when we went out to watch the eclipse earlier today because I didn't want to go in the fenced yard with him out and they were like "oh no he's fine don't worry." When he saw me he charged up to the fence, high flagged tail, snorting and barking and jumping at the fence and they still were like "oh he's friendly, he just wants to smell you, see his tail is wagging". Like my dude... tail wagging does not mean friendly, and what about the noises he's making rn sounds friendly to you?

Selene's sister grabbed him and I thought she was going to take him inside because she acted like she was going to, but instead she stopped halfway and just held him back while I came into the yard and then let him go to run up and sniff me, which he had very stiff body language the entire time he did so. For a while after that he ignored me because of the kids calling him away and was chill, but still kept coming over and sniffing me occasionally and was very tense each time so I just tried to stay calm and sweet talk him and didn't try to touch him to help defuse the situation.

Then I walked a little away from the group to point out a plant in the yard to Selene's mom which was a mistake because once I was out of the little circle we were standing in he started body blocking me, tense face, stiff body, whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. They tried to call him away and were like "oh he's just trying to get you to play, sorry he's so demanding of attention." I started trying to walk toward the gate to leave because he very much was NOT trying to get me to play and I did not feel confident in their ability to control him, and he immediately did it again. And again they tried to call him away. And I got maybe another two steps before he turned right back around and did it again. And they called him away again saying he was just trying to play. Rinse and repeat for a total of like six times of him body blocking me, tense and whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. All while they're just laughing like "Sorry, Klaus just really loves playing". Dudes your dog is actually behaving aggressively toward me right now, please get control over him so I can leave he is NOT TRYING TO PLAY WITH ME.

This is the second time I've been invited into the yard while Klaus was out and the first time they kept telling me the same thing but he was actually following me around growling at me then and they were still like "oh it's just cuz he doesn't know you yet, he'll warm up to you, he's friendly". YOUR DOG IS SKETCHY. I DONT WANT TO INTERACT WITH HIM. HE DOESN'T LIKE ME. PLEASE JUST PUT HIM INSIDE WHEN I'M IN THE YARD WITH Y'ALL. And PLEASE learn some dog body language because nothing about his right now says "friendly" at all!!!!! Not even a little!!!! TAIL WAGGING DOES NOT MEAN FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY A HIGH FLAGGED TAIL.

I was on the wikipedia page for phobias just for fun but just discovered theres an actual word for a fear of being touched.. 🥹

[lovesickgoose]

than knyou for drawinf the recent pyro stuff . i never see anything even suggestive with them and it is refreshing to break out of what seems to be the childification of them

red flag characters to a certain degree don’t exist and the entire concept is pretty dumb and nuanceless because what it means to like and appreciate a character varies so much from person to person and fandom to fandom and thus is basically impossible to generalize. that being said if there ever was one though it’s definitely anders dragon age

[areyoudoingthis]

it's so fucked up that people keep telling me that my parents love me and suggesting I shouldn't cut contact with them while I'm trying desperately to process and put into words all the ways in which my parents hurt me throughout my life, all the things i should see as violent instead of normalizing them and excusing them or pretending they don't exist
