People first meeting me: “wow he’s so wholesome and calm and reserved”
People who get to know me better: “look at this chaotic shithead”
People who know me really well: “look at this wholesome chaotic shithead I want to punt him and then give him a hug”
Something I answered on Tumblr!
I will respect the new boundaries from now on, that point is clear.
I did notice arguments surrounding past shippers and stuff, I would like to request respect for all people involved.
I think this is the first art ive seen that is what I look like and it feels so surprisingly nice… Especially since my immediate response was “wow their hot” and then i realized they looked like me 😭
@purpurbeans Like people assume if people are being excited and “shallow” in one moment that they are like that all the time, when that’s not what it is at all. It comes to policing people’s language and experience as well, like people read into everything idk if that makes sense
@purpurbeans I think a lot of people confuse a lot of the louder voices for the majority, also people expressing their excitement over certain things is often more noticed or payed attention to than the nuanced discussions most shippers have…
need to state this!! it’s understandable to be disappointed that you cannot engage with media in the way you did before, and that you can’t create work that you loved to make, however no one should feel bad for their discomfort, and their boundaries are always the priority
while were on the topic of boundaries reminder that if you see someone breaking boundaries on ao3, priv, etc, message them about it if you want but DONT air it out publicly. drawing attention to it just makes it more likely to get back to those who'll be affected by it
Building on top of this please do not demonise past shippers. Boundaries have changed. Respect them. But also respect the people around you and in the community. It’s a sudden but necessary change, please be kind.
the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a s*xual way. feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep peacefully.
