Again?!

GUYS! I know the tension is high right now, but no matter your feelings about season 7, you can’t keep threatening the production. Saying that I wrote something for those who are making those threats a few days ago and I would love for you to read what I had to say:

For all those making all the death threats to the cast, crew, and other fans of Voltron I have some more words for you. Most of this fandom are consisted of teenagers. I cannot tell you how funny it will be when someone finally calls the police on you. I can only image what it’ll be like when your parents open up the door to find the police there.

“Hello sir/ma’am, we are from the (insert county name) police department. We are wondering if your child (insert name here) is here.” The police offer says.

“Yes, they are. May I ask what this is about?” Your parent asks.

“Can you bring (insert name here)?” Your parent nods calling your name. You come down the stairs to see your parent speaking to the police and you’re wondering what’s going on. “Are you (insert name here)?”

“Yeah, how can I help you?” You ask perplexed.

“We have, by good authority, to believe that you have threatened death/rape/ext to multiple people.” Your mouth as well as your parent’s opens in shock. Your parent looks at you and then the police.

“T-there must be a mistake. My child-“

“We have records of their comments to these people and we tracked the account to your child’s devices.” Your parent looks at you in utter disbelief.

“Why in the world would you make death threats?” They ask.

“I-I wanted (enter ship name) to become c-cannon. I-I thought if I made the-the threats that they would.” OR “I couldn’t stand people shipping (enter ship name here). I mean, (enter explanation on why you don’t like the ship that no one gives a fuck for)”

And this is where I want to watch your parents face fall into huge disappointment as they hear your explanation.

“You have got to be kidding me……you made threats because of a show?”

“Yes?” You turn to the police. “I mean it was just a joke! I swear I wasn’t going to do anything!”

“(Insert pronouns here) we take these threats very seriously. You cannot just threaten people because you think your…ship….or whatever will and will not become true. This is a serious offense.” The police says. “No matter if you were planning on doing something or not, you threatened another person with bodily harm and harassed them multiple times.”

Now I don’t know the procedures for what they would do but either way I would still keep my eyes on your parents and just see how disappointed and disbelieving they are in you. That is something I would love to see.

The last season of Voltron is live tonight at 12 am and so I want the share this one more time to remind everyone not to be a dick if your ship doesn’t become cannon.

Be angry and complain on Tumblr. Do NOT threaten any of the staff. Most of the people you are threatening wouldn’t even have control over that stuff anyway. Also, the best way to show your discontent with some of their actions (the ones who do have control) is to stop watching and stop supporting them. I will literally never watch another show that has certain people on staff for it no matter how much it appeals to me otherwise and that is my right as a consumer and your right too. NOT sending death threats. 

Friendly reminder that just because something isn’t written the way YOU would have written it doesn’t make it bad writing. Every content creator has their own vision, and just because it doesn’t match your own or your desires doesn’t make it bad writing. Creators have a story to tell, and they’ll tell it their way.

No story is perfect. No story will be told your way unless you write it. Being upset that a story doesn’t fit a mould it was never meant to fill doesn’t make sense. 

It’s okay to enjoy things at surface value, despite of and in light of their flaws, and still enjoy it. You can enjoy something and accept that the creator’s vision is different than your own. Fandom is here to explore things your way. To see and explore things the creators didn’t give you. 

As a reader, as a writer, and as a fan I can’t think of a single website that has given me more happiness than Archive of Our Own. Thank you so much to everyone who works so hard to make it such a wonderful place. 

Today is realy good day to reblog this.

Voltron Kingsman AU Part 1 because I am very passionate about this au lol Shiro is the most skilled kingsman and the youngest Galahad. His weapon being only the umbrella. He’s that good. Keith is the weapons specialist who can use any weapon thrown at him, but dual swords are his favorite despite being told they aren’t practical anymore. Keith doesn’t give a shit. 

Will most likely do the rest of the gang :D Redbubble | Ko-fi

I just can’t ignore this because it’s just too funny HAHAHAHAH

Lance: Dude ya need to chill why do you need so many weapons?!! Keith: Because someone *glares at Shiro* here refuses to use anything else aside from that stupid umbrella and someone’s gotta look after him or else he’s going to lose another dumb arm. Shiro: He thinks he looks cool with dual swords. Like from Assassin’s Creed. Keith: For the last time, we’re modern assassins. It makes sense.  Pidge: So, Keith is basically just a nerd. Hunk: *giggles* S’okay, buddy. We’ve all been there.

Why ‘female-presenting nipples’ matter

When I was 10, my mom made me wear a bra and it felt like a punishment for being different.

When I was 10, I took the bra off when changing for gymnastics and accidentally dropped it in the school hallway. A teacher picked it up and said, “Oh, this must belong to you” and handed it back to me in front of everyone. I quit gymnastics.

When I was 11, I thought maybe the boobs would be okay so long as they didn’t get any bigger than would fit in my hand, so I kept measuring it, but they did.

When I was 12, I started wearing two or three sports bras to smush them down, until one day a classmate said, “Are you wearing two bras?!” while laughing.

When I was 13, a boy told me he wanted to squeeze my boobs “until they popped.”

When I was 14, I got cast in a play as an older character and a classmate told me I got the role because I had boobs.

When I was 17, my mom told me to return a swimsuit because it would be too distracting for my boyfriend’s father.

When I was 21, I got properly fitted for a bra and everyone felt the need to tell me how much better my boobs looked.

When I was 26, I got pregnant and my immediate fear was that my boobs would get bigger.

When I was 28, I got shamed for trying to feed my screaming baby in public without a cover.

When I was 28, people asked me “why are you bothering to use a breastfeeding cover?”

When I was 30, people gave me weird looks that I wasn’t yelling at my kid for putting their hand on my boob.

When I was 31, I avoided going to the beach or pool because I didn’t want to have to deal with boobs in a swimsuit.

When I was 32, I got asked, again, “why don’t you get a breast reduction?”

When I was 33, I watched a 5yo girl get shamed for running around in sweltering heat without a shirt on and had to reprimand a bunch of tween boys who thought it was okay to shame her for doing something they do all the time.

When I was 34, my kid kept patting my breast and saying “Mommy’s squishy breast!!” They will never see me express any shame about tits, because I want them to have a different mindset than I had. Yes, boobs are nice! They’re squishy! They’re fun! That’s the end of that.

I’m 35 and no longer give a fuck. I don’t care anymore. As a teenager my tits were covered in stretch marks. They’ve been engorged with milk. My nipple changed shape with pregnancy. Give it another couple decades and my breasts will probably be all wrinkly. It’s sexual when I’m using it sexually. I don’t fucking care, and I won’t be ashamed anymore. 

Every time a policy or cultural hangup treats people with breasts differently, it fucks us over. 

Tumblr’s new policy makes an active choice to participate in this culture of shame. By classifying “female-presenting nipples” as explicit material, Tumblr has taken a stance that any chest or breast that differs from a male default is worthy of shame and unavoidably sexual. The idea that breasts are shameful and unavoidably sexual is exactly what fucked me up for so much of my life.

Stop shaming people for having bodies. 

I’ve been seething in rage thinking of this all day and @aibidil put into words what was reeling in my mind.

Our bodies are not porn.

saw a comment someone made on a post saying “it’s not possible to read dark fiction and not have that affect your morals, you can’t train your brain NOT to normalize those things!” and i completely agree

as a life-long crime fiction and horror fan, i am an immoral monster. i’ve watched all 456 episodes of law and order and committed a murder after each one. i ate my neighbors after watching hannibal. i started a meth lab after breaking bad. i ruined my high school prom because i watched carrie the night before. in middle school i read stephen king’s it, went down to the sewers with some friends and

Wendy why would you hide this masterpiece in the tags

Like, all hyperbole aside, don’t @ me about how fiction can guide your mindset. Believe me, I know. Consuming certain pieces of media and thinking about them has helped to make me the person I am today. But the argument that consuming less-than-pure content (and pure according to whom?) is inherently harmful to “young, impressionable minds” is exactly the same bullshit that book-banning, fundamentalist types have been spewing for decades.

Sorry to put this salt mine on your dashes for a third time today, but I can’t believe I missed OP’s most excellent tags:

That’s a wrap, folks.
