I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
I’m just gonna log off for a bit and come back cuz finals
reblog before december 17th
But they’re not female presenting
It’s a lady showing you some nipples. How much more female presenting can it get?
Them swapping clothes here is something I would genuinely want to see, tho.
Grunge Beyonce.
Ed in a big pink floaty dress.
You are lying if you say you don’t want this.
It IS okay for him to dress like this
They are both dressing like they want.
Which is fine.
A Simple Nocturne [Alucard/Reader][NSFW]
Summary: Following the defeat of his father by his hand, you notice Alucard becomes withdrawn amid an uncertain future. You take his hand, unable to bear the suffering he endures in silence.
a/n: for @porcelainandgold. i hope i did your prompt justice and alucard as well. this took me two days to write bc i am incompetent askdjsalkdjskjfreuf lmao.
anyway. gender-neutral as i could get it. go at it, funky ppl.
HEADS UP: EXPLICIT CONTENT AHEAD.
At his insistence, he was often in your company for a few sparse moments while the moon was at its highest beyond the spires of the castle and coverture by clouds. You couldn’t say you were a fool to the layout of the castle any longer, and even once telling him so, he still offered to walk with you through the dismal corridors, guided by the dull flicker of candlelight from the candelabra in his grasp.
These were the moments with him that you cherished the most, the only ones he seemed willful to indulge you in. Following the defeat of Dracula by his own hand, you thought his eyes had grown colder than any hellish winter, reflecting the nebulous traces of his thoughts. He stood within your grasp these times almost always, and yet he was so far away from you.
Even as he walked alongside you, the halls comfortless and abysmal aside from the synchronic tap of your footfalls across cold stone that reverberated endlessly off the walls and carried on as though a voice growing more distant, you felt alone. You could feel his presence beside you, his languid strides easy enough to keep in pace with, the tail of his coat nearly dragged the floor and wound his legs, and if you were to sidle just slightly nearer, you would be touching him.
He seemed a ghost; residual and purposeless, a man with nothing else he could possibly lose and yet for some reason even unknown to him, he continued living on.
The real gag will be tumblr doing all this and still not getting back on the App Store
The thing is it isnt even working. Porn isnt getting filtered, porn bots arent getting purged, so, apppe has no reason to let them back into the app store
oh god what is going on now
guys calm down, you can still draw fictional people naked
#just not fucking.#I can live with that.#honestly this is slightly irritating but not ‘THE SKY IS FALLING’
Yyyyyeah except they’ve already:
- purged the ‘chronic pain’ tag
- purged the ‘top surgery’ tag
- made ‘trans’ tag inaccessible to non-functional
- deleted a bunch of chronic illness blogs
- deleted a bunch of chronic pain and chronic illness posts from blogs they’ve left (like mine)
This isn’t just about ‘oh no you can’t look at people fucking anymore’ (even though lots of sex workers are losing their means of supporting themselves). This goes a lot further, with a lot more chilling effects.
The sexualizing of things like ‘top surgery’ or declaring all ‘trans’ tagged things to be … sexual… is really, REALLY fucked up. Never mind the fact that ‘chronic pain’ had NOTHING to do with sexiness, and we’ve been given no explanation as to why disabled people were considered acceptable collateral damage.
ALSO I had a post flagged earlier today for a cartoon picture of Mario in a bathing suit. Mario, from Super Mario Brothers.
Someone else reported a picture of a cartoon scorpion with a hard hat on being flagged as pornography. Tagging things as ‘queer’ or ‘gay’ gets them flagged NSFW. (Hey, guess what I’d been tagging my t-shirts, because they’re pride stuff? Oh right. Queer. Gay. Pride.)
This is a fucking problem, let’s not blow it off.
I know some people are too young (or simply weren’t involved in fandom back then) to remember what went down with livejournal and a couple of other sites “back in the day”, but it all started out as “it’s okay, we’re just removing the nasty porn”, and then “okay well, just make sure you put your porn behind a cut, no, wait jk you need to host it externally, a link is fine, maybe” and pretty much devolved swiftly into “actually sweety, LGBT content is inherently NSFW by default because it might make the kiddies gay if we expose them to it, so y’all need to leave now byyyeeee”.
Like…that happened. And it took nearly a decade for the fandom spaces to recover and stabilize and to get to the point where LGBT content creators could host their content without being told “you’re not welcome here” and I’m just sitting here, watching as youtube demonetizes LGBT content creators, and Facebook flags up LGBT ads as “inappropriate” and now tumblr is going through the queer and gay tags and just mass blanketing it as inappropriate, while actual pornbots and nazis wind up in my recommended feed.
Like I am uncomfortable y’all. I am looking around at everything I’ve built and all the friends I’ve made and I know we’re all looking for the next safe space to jump to while hoping we don’t lose each other overnight like “the olden days” where you’d wake up and your fave blogger was just gone.
And usually it was because they’d drawn or written something as simple yet explicit as a kiss. It was just the wrong kind of kiss.
So yea, the sky is not falling, but the ice under our feet sure is making worrying sounds.
The entirety of the chronic pain tag is gone.
