So My Sister Wants To Start Sewing More, Because

many people see “pedophiles” as a type of villain to wish infinite angry death upon, as opposed to recognizing CSA as a preventable form of abuse. the former buys into moral panic and punitive justice; the latter is actionable, helpful, and much needed

when i went to conservative christian hell school, all we heard about was the evil scary men who wanted to snatch us up on the street. we learned about csa through strange, coded language. we were not taught how to talk about our bodies, and we were not taught what sex was. eventually, i was groomed and assaulted. so were an alarming number of my peers, often by teachers and religious leaders

then, as an adult, i got the opportunity to work at a summer camp. we developed an actionable plan to prevent campers from being alone with adult volunteers; we advocated for all of our campers to learn appropriate body part language; we led discussions about boundaries and consent; we answered questions about sex with honesty, care, and age-appropriate detail. and it was safe! the one time we identified shady behavior, there were so many safety nets and protocols in place that it never became a real issue.

so, having been in both situations, it’s frustrating to see 46387 threads a day of people angrily, viciously tearing apart the mere idea of a pedophile without ever stopping to ask “hey, what can we do about this? in real life? like, what are the advocates advocating for right now?”

i hate to break it to you, but 18+ daddy kink genshin yaoi (sorry idk i’m out of touch) isn’t the issue here, and it’s kind of silly and terminally online to pretend that it is. i would argue that adult-only erotica servers that block minors aren’t as big of a threat as, you know, “minor safe!! we are very safe for minors :) and we HATE the mean nasty scary people” communities that have a piss poor accountability system and no real mechanism for preventing abuse. there’s a huge difference between “weird gross thing that grosses me out” and “unsafe situation,” and the latter is far more worth emphasizing

What if the reason why Jeff Goldblum starting talking about Frostmaster during his acceptance speech at the GQ Awards was because he was hinting at an upcoming Thor or Loki movie.

This reminds me of how Tom Holland “leaked” the title of the next Spider-Man movie at Ace Comic Con. Tom Hiddleston also had some prepared lines about how Loki attacked New York City to bring the Avengers together because only they can stop Thanos.

It’s possible that Marvel wants Jeff Goldblum to promote Frostmaster because they might make it a plot point in the next Thor movie. We know that Taika has been in talks about directing another MCU film. It’s also been confirmed that the Grandmaster did not get killed by Thanos.

One of the Grandmaster’s powers is ability to “will” the death and resurrection of another. 

There are multiple ways that Loki can come back:

1) Thor bargains with the Grandmaster to revive Loki  2) Thor goes to Hel and fights Hela for Loki’s soul 3) Loki has been alive this whole time 4) Loki has been alive and hiding out with the Grandmaster and the Collector 

Marvel has gotten very good at guerilla marketing and they know that fans will analyze what the actors say in interviews. The GQ Awards had a lot of MCU cast members in attendance. This might be their new strategy at creating hype for the future movies.

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

Horrors, cannibalism and being sad

She would never wear this… but did it stop me? No.

In canon she's a fanatical empress of the theocratic empire but I came up with an AU where she is a musician and creates eerie dark music about horrors, canibalism and being sad.

Amarantha, OC.

Hey shout out to my aroace people who are sex and romance repulsed and feel like they have to be comfortable with sex and romance to be accepted. you don't, and you deserve a space where you can feel safe.

This is including arospec and acespec people too

Y'all (and me ig) deserve characters who are allowed to be hot and not sexualized

Y'all deserve a place where stories dont have to have sex to be fun/interesting

Y'all deserve a space where people dont get annoyed at you for disliking overly sexual or romantic stories

Specifically for arospec people who are romance repulsed, yall deserve a place where friends are valued and its ok to have sex/be attracted to people without any thought of romance. Yall also deserve characters and stories about this.

Specifically for yall acespec people who are sex repulsed, yall deserve a place where you can feel safe knowing that sex wont be expected of you, a place where you can date someone and not be expected to have sex with them, and most of all, yall deserve characters and stories about people like you who's story and sexuality isnt erased.

Yall dont need to be comfortable with sex or romance, theres been an uptick in people talking about aroacespec peeps who are comfortable with that stuff, and are very prominent in fanfic and smut areas of the internet, which is very cool and good, but that does not need to be you.

If youre romance and or sex repulsed, that is completely ok, you should not have to feel like you have to be comfortable with that to be accepted by people.

Me too

Does anybody else feel like they need a TV series based on Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles?

Because I do… Desperately.

Alastor!

Oh, to be a lizard priest and touch noses with your doomed-by-the-narrative husband.
