Apparently, just having pages in the header doesn't work? So here's all the stuff:

Oh, and just that you're warned:

and another

There you have it.

An explanation for those who don't know:

  • proshipping means: ship and let ship
  • proshipping means: not harassing people over their choices of fictional pairings
  • proshipping means: not trying to apply arbitrary christian morality guidelines to what creators are allowed to depict in art and writing
  • proshipping means: not judging people for their kinks
  • proshipping means: expecting people to tag their content correctly and to avoid tags I don't enjoy
  • proshipping means: not forgetting what censorship in fandom leads to
  • proshipping means: enjoying fandom in all facets and curating my own online experience

That's why I'm a proshipper. This a stupid conversation. Fiction is not reality. Go out into the world and deal with real problems.

“What you consume in fiction defines who you are.”

If that were true you would’ve actually internalized the lessons from the Children’s media you watch and learn to actually be decent people.

what do you mean you're a streamer

the funny thing about being a big blog on here really is the number of people who will follow you for months while having absolutely zero idea about who you are and what you do

That's a good point random kitty blog. I'd be stunned to find out that you leaked the no fly list or something

the statue in the bottom right is Le génie du mal, carved by guillame geefs to replace a different lucifer (known as either Le génie du mal or L’ange du mal) carved by his younger brother. why did joseph geefs’ lucifer get removed from the cathedral? it was too sexy. the statue was too sexy by far.

st. paul’s cathedral in liége went from one lucifer, whom they called ‘too sublime’ and removed because he was distracting ‘pretty penitent girls,’ to another lucifer, who they’ve left there for 170 years even though he’s so hot that satanists visit the cathedral to meditate in the presence of this Most Sexy Of Lucifers

here’s how i imagine that went down.

liege cathedral: hmm. you know what we need? a nice satan for our church. let’s ask joey geefs

joseph geefs: sculpts this

liege cathedral: no!! too hot!! now we all want to fuck lucifer! we need a different satan. let’s ask… the sexy lucifer sculptor’s BROTHER. yes. willy geefs is older so he definitely doesn’t want to fuck lucifer

guillaume geefs, who DOES want to fuck lucifer, and the only sign of his being older than his brother is that the lucifer he wants to fuck is somewhat older: sculpts this

liege cathedral: shit. well we don’t have any more money for lucifers so i guess we’ll keep this sexy lucifer

mlm, straight girls, and satanists in the vicinity of liege: NICE

IT'S FINALLY HERE! The true full size of my "do you love the colour of the sky HD remake director's cut" tumblr post

This ended up being 2 3/4 inches wide by 36 FEET LONG. 

The 2 3/4 inch width was chosen because that's the same width as a pretty average phone screen, and I wanted to know how physically far you have to scroll to get past this post.

also dont tell my boss that I got into the art gallery before we opened just to set up this rainbow CVS receipt looking motherfucker. in my defense i literally couldn't find any other location that was long enough to show this off

Please consider subscribing to my Patreon to gain access to my original content a week before its posted on tumblr!

reblogging this because the og post is suddenly getting a bunch of notes and i want everyone to see just how long this motherfucker is in real life

that is impressively long omg

also you all should be so grateful I never reblogged that post because WOW

Anonymous asked:

...what is the "sex is just rock climbing" category

It was kind of a joke between me and a friend ("you wouldn't judge someone for having gone rock climbing with a bunch of different people") but honestly the more I thought about it the more I bought into it unironically because:

  • It is a physical activity done with one or more partners
  • You should only go rock climbing with people you trust not to let you fall
  • You should not go rock climbing with someone who is drunk or currently incapable of rational decision-making
  • Some people get super super super into rock climbing and do not shut up about all the places they have climbed and how many are left on their bucket list and these people are usually men between the ages of 20 and 35 and like it's fine dude I'm glad you're happy but I don't know what most of those mountains even are
  • While many consider it a fun activity, pressuring someone into climbing when they don't want to (or ignoring their feelings and just dangling them off a cliff,) could cause both psychological and physical trauma
  • There is no moral value to it whatsoever. Who you have gone rock climbing with (or whether you have rock climbed at all) has no bearing on who you are as a person. Imagine telling someone "it's not that heights make you nauseous, it's just that you haven't found the right person to belay you!" or "you need to save your first time rock climbing for someone special." That would be absurd.
  • historically I have not asked myself "will this aggravate my hip flexer injury" before participating when perhaps I should have 😔

friends, i am afraid that "i want more weird freak art, but ONLY if it's not weird PORN" is a completely incoherent stance. you are not obligated to like the weird porn that is sexualizing fucked up shit, but if you want more weird art made by freaks, you need to create an environment where people feel comfortable making transgressive and shocking art that upsets people, and that just so happens to include weird porn and sexualizing fucked up things as a category, like, by definition!

like i cannot stress enough that you cannot pick and choose which transgressive things can exist in your artistic sphere based on if they upset and shock you or not... that's undermining the entire point of artistic spheres that encourage transgression!
