Honestly the shaming of girls for having “boring missionary sex” or whatever is so messy… girls are constantly pressured into doing things they don’t want to by virtue of tastes shifting to more ‘kinky’ due to a disgustingly pornified culture and there’s nothing wrong at all with wanting sex with someone to be just about intimacy and closeness…
Reblog forever. Destroy the idea that wanting sex that is primarily about intimacy, love, trust and respect is “vanilla” and therefore boring. Destroy the idea that participating in dangerous and degrading sex makes you more ‘interesting’ ‘evolved’ or ‘sexy’.
THIS IS URGENT! READ THIS!! THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!
PLEASE HELP ME SURVIVE! I’m literally just trying to stay alive y’all, this is all I have!!!
My name is Yves, I’m a trans guy, and I have severe PTSD, and am chronically ill (rare blood clotting disease, and an autoimmune deficiency disorder), I’ve had multiple MAJOR surgeries that have resulted in complications, I suffer with severe chronic pain, I’m also disabled, and because of all of this I NEED my medication to survive. I’m NOT getting the medical treatment I need and have limited access already. My health is failing and it’s taking an irreversible toll on my body. In short, I’m trying NOT TO DIE (Read my gofundme me for more in-depth information about how scary this is)
I’m trying to move to Colorado to escape (my abuser and stalker that I have a really traumatic history with. Violence and including assaults) I’m stuck in my hometown right now in northern MN. Where I’m at right now IS NOT safe for me and I need to leave..My friend in Colorado has a place that I can move into ASAP, I just need first and last months rent. I have to move this month or she has to find a different roommate because of her own financial situation, so this is my one lucky chance!! I NEED to move to Colorado for better access to health care, and for my own safety.. This is VITAL for my health (mentally and physically).
I appreciate anything and everything! If half of you donated I’d be okay. If you consider yourself an ally to trans ppl, disabled ppl, chronically ill ppl, SW’s, Survivors, indigenous ppl, please donate or boost this!!

I STILL NEED HELP!!
PLEASE DONATE TO SAVE THIS VERY GOOD HUMAN PLEASE
I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME! PLEASE BOOST THIS, THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE!
This is off-topic, and I don’t know or follow OP. But, we all find ourselves in need sometimes, and no one should have to crowdfund their health. If you have a little money to spare and feel like making the end of 2018 less of a blazing hellscape for someone, please consider giving and/or passing this on to your followers.
it’s not the trope itself that militant fandom antis get mad about. it’s the ship.
imagine that you’re in a fandom where characters A, B, and C are all protagonists with friendly canon interactions – not necessarily friends, but definitely not enemies.
For a variety of reasons, you don’t really like it when people ship A & B together romantically. maybe you like B/C better. maybe you just don’t like the dynamics of A/B shipping. maybe it reminds you of a relationship you had that ended badly. Whatever the reason: A/B bothers you, and you wish nobody shipped it.
Imaginary You decides to try to stop people from shipping A/B. You start by telling people that based on canon, shipping A/B is morally and socially objectionable. with the redefining of words like ‘pedophilia’, ‘incest’, and ‘abuse’, it’s easy to turn canon molehills into mountains: A few years age difference is now ‘pedophilia’. knowing each other from childhood is ‘incest’. an argument is ‘abuse’.
But not only do people keep shipping A/B: they keep shipping it even while following your rules about what’s okay to ship! They make AUs where A&B are the same age! They age A&B up! They write slow burns where A&B start out friends and become lovers!
When you said ‘don’t ship A/B’ and gave reasons why not to, you meant for people to stop shipping A/B, not to ship A/B a different way!
So you find yourself having to teach people that A/B is always bad. it doesn’t matter how you ship it: it doesn’t matter what tropes you use. Any use of the imagination to make A/B a safe, ‘healthy’ ship is off-limits. (maybe you suggest that if one has to go to such lengths to make A/B okay to ship, they should just switch to the already healthy ship, B/C? it’s just a coincidence that you like B/C better. or maybe you like B/C because B/C isn’t gross like A/B.)
and that’s how you’ll find people objecting to tropes like friends-to-lovers.
it’s all just a means to an end – which is attacking any and all iterations of shipping the ship they don’t like.
If Venom is so much of a loser back home, how did they end up on this highly important mission? What possible purpose would they serve? Riot is the leader, of course, and I’m assuming Carrion (yellow) and Blight (blue) would probably be like combat and study, so why is this dumb gay there?
And then it hit me.
The only constructs Venom ever produced during fights were defensive. When the Foundation goons bust up Eddie’s apartment, they make a shield to protect the people whose window they just crashed through from getting shot. The fight with Riot, they produce a big one to keep him from tearing their face off. After the rocket, they created a parachute so Eddie didn’t get hurt—at what could easily have been the cost of their own life. They told Anne not to get involved because it would be dangerous.
Venom was just a tank. The only reason they were there was to take damage and keep the others safe.
Fuck, man.
…and of COURSE the team protector would be the one to look at this planets sweaty inferior meatbags and go ‘but consider: what if I protect THIS, actually’
One of the contractors at work drove past my shack on a forklift yesterday, stopped, backed up to my window and said, “hey, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?”
My knee jerk response when asked this, even if it’s by a companionable dude old enough to be my dad, is to go, “uh, nah-” and then ramble uncomfortably until someone stops me-
-which is what I started to do, only to be cut off by Contractor saying, in an embarrassed rush, “some of the guys were asking me because you and I talk sometimes, but I didn’t want them to hit on you at work, so I told them that you Worship the Devil and would Hex them if they tried. I’m sorry.”
Which leaves me wheezing helplessly, trying to get my shit together, because this is honestly one of the nicest, most hysterical things I’ve ever heard someone say to me.
Oblivious to this, Contractor then follows up with, “and they were like ‘forreal??’ so I was like, ‘yeah, she’s probably a sadist, too, you can tell by her jewelry. She’ll stab you or something.’”
And tbh I can’t even come up with anything witty to say in response, so all I manage to choke out is, “pleASE LET THEM CONTINUE TO THINK THAT, I’M BEGGING YOU.”
And Contractor just smiles and is like, “Okay! I just wanted to let you know!” before driving off with his forklift.
Like?? Thank god for Contractor tbh. He’s an angel among men, and I hope the rest of his life is filled with prosperity and happiness and like, that he finds $20 on the ground every week for the rest of his life.
Update: Every time Contractor sees me, he does a little Devil Horns gesture at me and its adorable.
Update the Second: I saw Contractor while doing my tour and he told me that the guy that asked if I was single was around, and that if I saw him, I should just make complicated hand gestures at him while I walk by to scare him off.
