Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.
I never see enough doms talking about how much we need emotional aftercare just as much as subs do and it genuinely makes me scared because how many of us are walking around in dom drop without knowing it. You need to be reminded that there was consent. You need to be reminded that you are more than any 'violence' you do in scene. You need to be reminded of the relationship you have with your sub outside of a scene. You need to be reminded that the power dynamic the two of you have created is one for pleasure and not oppression. You are not wrong for needing that and any sub worth your time will think so too.
I'm glad I only get recommended the important news

picture this, i give you a glass bottle and tell you to open it, but bottle openers are forbidden, how do you do it?

(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)
baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*
my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.
baby: ighbu.
sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!
baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!
sister: exactly!
baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.
my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?
baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.
[a split second goes by]
baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.
me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?
baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.
me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?
baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.
*pronounced like "on" without the n
hey so uh the consuls asked me to talk to you about your divination techniques and uh. no yeah i get that you've been a great asset and successfully predicted the favor of the gods over the proposal to construct a new aqueduct. that was great, you're great. just uh. well we were wondering if maybe you could speed it up a little bit next time- yes i know the omens can't be rushed. but you did take like 30 minutes to read the entrails? and uh. to be perfectly honest we were all a little creeped out by the way you kept saying things like "oh that's a SLIPPERY one" and "come to papa little kidney." no no we're not asking you to switch over to augury, you're a great haruspex, really. if you could just not dig around in the entrails with a look of unbridled glee on your face quite as much that would be great. thanks.
I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:
Colder tones!!!
This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now
