@lightasthesun you have the best ideas ✨

#we’ve discussed this already but #i imagine his hand kinda shakily hovering over it #then he traces the symbol..his fingers feeling every groove in the marking #and i tried to show a HINT of relief and happiness and hope because he’s been emotionally constipated while in hiding #i apologize if you hate it 😂 #star wars #clone wars #obi wan kenobi #kenobi series #ahsoka tano #sw art #kenobi spoilers #in a way

idk who exactly on this tag needs to hear this but it’s definitely a lot of you:

it is perfectly okay for a fanfic writer to have Mike and Will having physical and sexual thoughts about each other. They are teenagers and it completely normal for allosexual and even acespec teenagers to have sexual thoughts about the person or people they like. Yes adult fanfic writers can do this too it’s literally not weird as long as it’s written respectfully and accurately, and I’m actually so fucking tired of all this discourse that is so clearly rooted in people feeling uncomfortable with two boys being sexually attracted to each other, or even queer teenagers in general having sexual thoughts about each other.

I do think it’s weird to write explicit sex scenes between minors and especially in this case when these characters are represented by real people with real bodies who were minors while filming the vast majority of the show, but honestly anything suggestive between two 14/15 year olds and up that’s not explicit and/or sexualized is normal. And before any of you come at me saying I’m sexualizing minors, you can fuck right off bc I am 17 and I am sick and tired of teenagers and especially queer teenagers being shamed for sexual thoughts that are perfectly normal.

I understand if you personally are not comfortable reading and writing anything suggestive, that is fine bc I have a solution for you! Wanna guess what it is??

Just. Don’t. Read it.

If it’s content u don’t like, simply don’t interact!!! No one is forcing you to read or write anything that you don’t want to, so simply don’t. It’s that easy 😱

I will say though, that if reading an even vaguely suggestive thought in a byler fic makes you extremely uncomfortable, maybe you should take a moment to ask yourself why that is. Bc love between teenagers is not all fluffy and pure and innocent, and its honestly way weirder to have that ideal than to write teens having sexual thoughts, so maybe do some self reflection. If you’re ace and suggestive content in general makes u feel weird then that’s different, but if that’s not the case then if you’re allo and u still feel this way… idk just take a moment to check and see if you’re internalizing anything before complaining about it and spreading legitimately harmful discourse.

So, to recap:

-it’s normal for teenagers to have suggestive thoughts about each other and it’s normal to write it

-writing teenagers having sexual thoughts and making out with each other is not sexualizing, fellow queer ppl who think this literally why do u hate ur community so much 😑

-anything short of an explicit smut scene between minors is fine as long as it’s done accurately and respectfully

-it is still weird to write explicit smut in the byler fandom specifically (and any other ship between teens in ST) just bc you’d be describing the bodies of real people that were minors until very recently with actors who have stated that they’re not comfortable being sexualized like that, but first and foremost…

-…if something makes you uncomfortable or you don’t like it, simply don’t interact

-stop shaming queer teenagers for being physically attracted to each other, and stop idealizing teenage queer love as something completely pure and innocent, if you’re going to do that, please keep it to yourself

If after reading this post you 1). want to block me bc you think this whole post was sexualization or 2). plan to use this argument as an excuse to actually sexualize minors and write hardcore explicit smut between them, block me. Weird reformed purity culture is not welcome on my blog and neither are people who enjoy sexualizing minors. Fuck you ❤️

#this goes for any fandom pulling this shit but I’ve noticed it a lot on the byler tag #I’m STILL seeing it even after we’ve already closed this discussion multiple times #byler #byler tumblr #byler fandom #elli talks byler #elli talks stranger things

Sometimes a collar that’s actually attached to nothing is something that can be so personal…

saw the anon that mentioning a marriage reveal and honestly i am not even the biggest on the “marriage” train because i don’t care about marriage and to me they don’t even seem like the type that care either but this video really gives Marriage Soft Launch vibes like the married couple energy is too intense

i do get “marriage is just a piece of paper” vibes from them since it quite literally is, they’ve done the other things already (building a life and house together, travelling, house plants, norman) so marriage is just a title. but also dan is such a whore for symbolism and ‘deeper meaning’ so i wouldn’t be surprised if he has the desire to be officially married. but then again there’s the whole heteronormative side of weddings and marriage that would also have an effect on him. it does feel like a soft launch though. terrifying and intense

#i can’t remember which one of them said the piece of paper thing. i think phil? #asks #anonymous #my partner and i have discussed getting married. like we’ve looked for rings together #but also. she’s get a government pension so its not beneficial to get married itd fuck up her income #and like I don’t even want a wedding. i just want a ring but do i? is it just all ive been told that i want? #it’s such a waste of money. my brother is in $40k debt for his wedding because he felt he needed one #so dumb. i think I just want to try on a wedding dress and have a nice ring but even then #anyways… she has already causally asked me to marry her so idk if im engaged . much to think about

everyone is wildly primed to have their anger and fear used against them right now, so while you are advocating and protesting, make sure you’re not falling into shit that is going to cause more harm

The genocide in Gaza is horrific. And it is a genocide. The words coming directly from the mouths of those in charge of Israel’s government are those that demonstrate an intent to utterly erase any Palestinian from Gaza, whether through displacement or death.

Do not let people convince you that this is the fault of Jews. Do not let yourself be swayed into conspiracies that Jews control Hollywood, or the government, or are otherwise collectively conspiring to do harm. It’s bullshit. It causes real, measurable harm and fear. It continues to make rising antisemitism worse. And not only does that antisemitism lead to death, it rightfully increases the fear of more horrors happening.

The attack on Oct 7 was also horrific. As is the rising antisemitism around the world. And the fact that there has been almost no space to honor those dead is a tragedy.

Do not be convinced that the only way to protect the Jewish people is to build a State where only one religious or ethnic group is allowed to live freely. Do not be convinced that safety is dependent upon protecting that State at all costs. When one State is allowed to defend itself by any means necessary, any means will be used and any action will be excused. And do not be convinced that all Arabs or Muslims are responsible for those atrocities. Islamophobia is also on the rise and is also causing real, measurable harm and fear.

Your anger and fear will be used to excuse horrors if you let it.

Don’t let it.

#Palestine #Israel #I find little value in talking on the internet to people who already have the same information and beliefs I do #but what I can speak to #is seeing a lot of people not want actual justice #but would rather put their chosen group or themselves at the top of the oppressive power structures #all the discussion about rising fascism #and it’s like we’ve forgotten that a huge part of it is capitalizing on normal people’s fears and anxieties #I can also speak to how western Christians are down for the destruction of Gaza and full control of Israel #but that’s a fun combo of xenophobia Islamophobia racism antisemitism and Desire for the Apocalypse #basically a hell of a lot more people than would ever admit #don’t consider any nonwhite non American non evangelical christians to be christians #and so they along with anyone who doesn’t fall into that group already don’t deserve to live #and they’re really pumped for god to destroy the world - including and especially the Jews - for not being that specific group

recommendations for resources or reading material about queer polyamorous relationships?

#lgbtqia #polyamory #now i swore to myself i’d never be in a monogamous relationship #even the word ‘relationship’ and the weight it carries in my head is pretty scary #but i may or may not have entered a poly relationship with this person i’ve been seeing for a few months now #we discussed it and it doesn’t entail much besides what we’ve already been doing honestly #but tbh i’m really scared of this and i can’t quite put my finger on why #and i’ve told this person too even as i agreed to try this out #idk…i’ve never been in a relationship let alone a queer one and let alone a poly one #a relationship that i have an idea on how to tackle only as a theory in my head from what i’ve read about it recently #i don’t think it’s that serious because again we haven’t changed much of what we’ve been doing but idk like i said #i feel like there’s a new weight and i’m nervous about it #help #michi yaps

my boss just tried to tell me that the gaza strip and the west bank belonged to israel until palestine invaded… and that israel “gave up” that land to “end the war”

#sorry to any bitch pack members who see this post after we’ve already discussed it #unfortunately i cannot move on #shut up carley

[discoblocks]

Just to be clear yall, I know it’s inconsistent with the story so far, but I think it’s fairly clear that this wasn’t intended to be a retcon, it was just a spur of the moment choice (Eret explained that everything today has been entirely improvised and/or planned for the first time today) and Eret didn’t remember any instances that contradicted this angle in the moment. I also wanna remind everybody that cc!Eret has diagnosed memory issues so make sure to keep this in mind when you’re speaking on this and be respectful.

#discotalks #eret #like I get it it really does not match up with what we’ve observed before #but like. that stuff all happened a very long time ago #I’ve already seen people being a little judgy abt it and just wanna remind every one to like #play nice. be considerate. don’t forget the irl circumstances that have made it be this way #we do not want lore discussion to become as toxic as it used to be

[mookybear12404]

Pray for me. Decided I need to confront my supervisor today

#need to meet and discuss the fact that like #if things don’t change I’m leaving #we’ve already lost half our staff because of the absolute unnecessary BS they put us through #the lack of communication and transparency here is unprofessional #they like me a lot so I’m hoping this goes over well

[catb-fics]

With the rate these stories are coming in, next thing you know someone’s gonna say he’s given up music and taken up sheep herding

Omg ha ha love it, it’s taking me back to the pub anon fake sightings days, I’m not sure if you were here for that but it got to the stage where people were saying he was living in their garden in a tree house and stuff 😂

#i think we’ve already discussed farmer van btw

[milk-toast-honey]

Also. I’ll se the guy I’m “dating” again tomorrow evening and I’m very nervous about it

#I know I don’t have to because we’ve already discussed being nervous abt seeing each other #and he’s told me more than once that he wants me to feel comfort with him #he’s being really sweet #but I’m still nervous #diary

packing for the next several weeks like i’m going to war. if you ever catch me driving the 3-4 hour round trip from school to home back to school one random day over the next three weeks mind your business i’m about to kill myself over all this.

[deityofhearts]

I’m looking forwards to when lex, kane and I all have our own place because we have such like different clashing aesthetics but also there is an overlap to be had as well so it’s just gonna be so interesting to see how that all works out

#deity dialogue #if I have to like boil us each down to soemthing I like pink cutesy stuff a lot lex likes a lot of like horrory stuff and kane likes naturey #stuff and our overlap is: whimsigothic #we all like the other stuff as well though so it’ll work out #I can already imagine how vastly different everyone’s bedrooms are gonna look #and then we need to figure out decor for like actual rooms of the house #so far every time we discuss the livingroom it changes and I think we’ve currently loosely decided on ‘combine everything do fuck all’

[likelylarks]

if i have to read one more time!!! that the maxiel small dick max fic is written by people who hate max!! i am going!!! to lose it!!!!!! don’t say!!!!! you don’t read maxiel/the small dick fics!!!! and then decide you know who is writing it!!!!! bc if you’re not reading it (self admittedly)!!! then how!!!! do you!!! know!!!!!!

you don’t :) and you’re just making shit up :) to justify why you don’t like a kink :) and to shit on people :) who do like it :) when you can just :) not like something :) instead of trying to psychoanalyze strangers :) and willfully coming to the wrong conclusions :) to be a dick :) and then spreading false information :)

#everyone just tag and/or put a content warning #and everyone else just shut up!!! #i’m shouting into the void about people who don’t follow me and won’t see this but i!!!! am losing my mind!!!! #stop manufacturing issues!!!!!!!!!!! where there aren’t any!!!!!!!!!!!! #sorry to contribute more to the circus today #i’m just tired #bc instead of this being about #us as a community being more thoughtful in our descriptions so people can choose what to read #it’s become about the ethics of small dick fic in general #and we’ve already been through this #there are ppl who find small dick inherently shameful and those who do not and we’re not ever gonna agree #(also that tag refers exclusively to the ethics discussion) #(wanting or not wanting to read something is not an indication of your stance on smth) #sorry friends #i’m just #don’t y’all ever get tired of trying to police strangers?
