She/Her. I'm pretty shy but if you have a question for me or if you want to talk to me you don't need to be afraid to approach me. Please tell me if i reblog something incorrect, and let me know if you want me to tag something, thanks!

I noticed a weird grammar thing so lemme know what you think

Ok here's an argument for each option:

Louder than her — This is the way people talk in real life

Louder than she — The pronoun case matches the verb. Some English teachers get on your case about this

Both — Language is fluid and both sentences get the idea across (even though the second sentence sounds like something out of Shakespeare)

Neither — Convention says that you should refer to the other person first in statements like these ("She sings louder than I"). Alternatively you could say "I sing louder than she does" to make the meaning clearer.

my problem as a writer and as a roleplayer is that I always want characters to do that thing where you hold your hand out, palm to the ground, and kind of tilt it quickly left and right to express uncertainty or a "kinda-sorta"/"yes and no" vibe. but I don't know an official term for this so I always just call it the Noncommittal Hand Waggle

somebody appears to have responded to this post... via the contact form on bandcamp, using the burner email "fake@fake.fake"

It is the sign of the scales. The scales have not settled and they waggle back and forth. Like this like that.

and you know what. I never thought about that before but it's probably right. why the fuck would you tell me this via the bandcamp contact form of all things, and why would you phrase it like you're writing an esoteric treatise encoded via metaphor

Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

almost none of the reasons why i support abortion rights have anything to do with babies. really it’s more about the fact that I think the government shouldn’t be able to force you to lend all your organs to someone else and change irreparably in the process. is a fetus a person? I don’t care! If it is a person, I don’t want anyone to be forced to host one against their will! If it isn’t a person, guess what? Nobody should be forced to host one against their will! What’s a soul? What’s a person? When does life begin? IRRELEVANT! A world in which the government can force anyone to manufacture an entirely new human body at the cost of their own is not a world I want to live in!

This is it! If it’s not okay for the government to roll up to your workplace and grab you and take you to a hospital and take out one of your kidneys to give to someone who needs it, or pull you into a van and hold you down to take a pint of your blood for someone who needs it, it’s not okay for the government to force you to carry a pregnancy! Life should ALWAYS be a freely given gift that we give to one another!

my favourite thing in stardew valley is how when you upgrade your house for the first time, you go from a single bed to a double bed overnight. implying that robin moved you from one bed to the other while you were asleep.

Things to Say to Someone in Top Drop/Dom Drop

  • I’m okay
  • I love you
  • Thank you
  • It’s alright
  • I’m not hurt
  • I’m not hurt too badly
  • You’re lovely/wonderful/kind
  • I enjoyed it
  • It was worth it
  • Take your time
  • Do you need anything?
  • Do you want a cuddle?
  • Do you want me to get dressed/take the collar off/put the crop away?
  • Do you want to talk about it?
  • I’m here
  • You’re not a bad person

Top drop/dom drop usually comes from shock, guilt or insecurity about the way you have just treated someone whose well-being you care about very much. Like sub drop, it is usually accompanied by a fall in endorphins and general energy levels. Especially for aces (who I find have a greater need to be in the right mindset/’zone’ for play and intimacy), a ‘snap’ moment where you break out of play mode can throw you emotionally, and the end of play causes a similar reassessment or double-take at what happened during the scene.

Dominants in drop require the same kind of care as subs, but a different kind of reassurance.

When the moment is over and the endorphins drop, but the marks remain and you wonder if actually you’re a monster. These words are here. Consensual acts are just that. Aftercare is for everyone, not just subs/bottoms.
