when it comes to older bloggers, you have every right to feel uncomfortable and ask them to unfollow you & not interact with your posts, based on their age. it’s not discrimination, it’s not going to hurt anyones feelings – you deserve a safe space on the internet, especially on a blog where you express yourself.
you don’t need to explain why an older person makes you uncomfortable or unsafe. and you don’t owe them an explanation in the first place. too many of us are forced to have uncomfortable interactions with familiar adults like family members, our parents friends, etc. you really do have a choice. especially here.
//Friendly reminder that a survivor does not have to be anything you want them to be. A survivor does not have to be a vengeful edgelord, nor a benevolent giggling daisy.
A survivor does not need to earn the right to survive, and a survivor certainly does not need a “redemption arc.”
A survivor simply needs to survive, to be a hero. They are not obligated to heal the way you want them to.
Hey so I posted this about Gabriel on SPN, but it’s true of Loki too, even though people hate Loki far more than they hate Gabriel.
This might come as a shock to some of you but saying “I’m not informed enough on this particular topic to have an opinion” is about 100 times more respectable than being misinformed
Trends that should stop: having “evil” versions of female characters wear more revealing clothes and act more sexually aggressive than the “good” version, because that demonizes women’s sexuality and ties it to having lower morals and it’s just generally a shitty gross trope
This is precisely why I do not over sexualize Lady Loki, and do not make her a more sexual being than male-form Loki.
My love isn’t a test. My affection isn’t a game. The last thing I would do is jeopardize my own heart for pure entertainment.
You don’t put a wounded soldier on a scowling battlefield. Why would I do the same to a heart that is always at war with itself?
just because a ship is fictional doesnt mean it cant hurt people
when abuse survivors such as myself are exposed to untagged abusive or toxic ships clogging a main tag it can upset or trigger them
our feelings and experiences are valid and just because the thing upsetting us is “fictional” it does not make our feelings any less real
please respect abuse survivors
hey this is just a request but if you feel safe to reblog this could you maybe consider doing so? i think this is kind of important and so many times people speak over abuse survivors on these issues and say that our feelings dont matter. i think it might be good for this to be spread around a little
i dont want to undermine what this post is saying but the impact of these ships is even bigger than that, not only what this post says but young people exposed to these ships may think that kind of behavior is ok, abusers who see those ships feel validated, these ships literally do lead to real life abuse, thats why just tagging them so we dont see them isnt enough, we arent the only ones who are hurt by them
