Why in the world would you like toxic characters? Why are you so proud of that? What is it even to be proud of? What's wrong with you?
Well, my dear Anon. If you only knew how many times I've asked myself those very same questions…
And the answers always come down to: It’s fiction.
And even though fiction is a vital part of life (just like any other art form) and you can learn a lot from it (you have no idea how many toxic people I’ve been able to avoid, before they even found out my name, thanks to my love for toxic characters and seeing their red flags), fiction is also just fiction.
The characters aren’t real, even though they can seem like it. Just because I love a character that's toxic as fuck doesn't mean I would condone real people who behave that way.
Also, I’m not hurting anyone with my obsession with toxic characters. It’s not like I'm forcing anyone to think like me (and for the love of all things holy, don't do that!).
Besides having a healthy obsession with the toxic characters I love, I’m not very emotional (for lack of a better word) about what I watch. I can be intrigued by toxic characters without either excusing their behavior and actions or hating them (because there’s enough hate in the world for me to do that shit). I can watch taboo topics and other shit that most people find triggering and not be triggered (even though I see the taboo topics for what they are). I can watch problematic stuff and see beyond it to what’s really being said (even though I see the problematic stuff for what it is).
But that’s just me. And I would never force my perspectives on anyone else because I know the majority isn’t like me (which is a good thing, btw).
So, if you don’t vibe with my shit, block me. I don’t mind.
Trust me. I’ll survive. You’ll survive. The world won’t fall apart. We’ll both be okay. Just block me.
Because I will keep loving my favorite toxic fatherfuckers. I won't excuse their behavior and actions. But I will love them.
And the only one who can stop me is ME. But I don’t want to because I love all the shades of toxic bitches and their red flags.
Like Boston from Only Friends.
And Todd from Not Me.
And Chalothon from The Sign.
And Ray from Only Friends.
And So from House of Stars.
And Yai from Big Dragon.
And Way from Pit Babe.
And Boeing from Only Friends.
And let's not forget Vegas from KinnPorsche!
And Yoden Ryoji from Dangerous Drugs of Sex.
And Yong Jie from HIStory 4: Close to You.
And Rio from The Novelist.
And Ritsu from To the End of the World With You.
And definitely Ming from My Stand-In!
I love them all because I have issues. But so do all of them, which is precisely why I love them.
Thank you for your ask.

A Power Unbound
Secrets! Magic! Enemies to… something more?
Jack Alston, Lord Hawthorn, would love a nice, safe, comfortable life. After the death of his twin sister, he thought he was done with magic for good. But with the threat of a dangerous ritual hanging over every magician in Britain, he’s drawn reluctantly back into that world.
Now Jack is living in a bizarre puzzle-box of a magical London townhouse, helping an unlikely group of friends track down the final piece of the Last Contract before their enemies can do the same. And to make matters worse, they need the help of writer and thief Alan Ross.
Cagey and argumentative, Alan is only in this for the money. The aristocratic Lord Hawthorn, with all his unearned power, is everything that Alan hates. And unfortunately, Alan happens to be everything that Jack wants in one gorgeous, infuriating package.
When a plot to seize unimaginable power comes to a head at Cheetham Hall—Jack’s ancestral family estate, a land so old and bound in oaths that it’s grown a personality as prickly as its owner—Jack, Alan and their allies will become entangled in a night of champagne, secrets, and bloody sacrifice… and the foundations of magic in Britain will be torn up by the roots before the end.

who would be down for an adults only les mis discord 👀 👀 i'll put my reasoning under the cut
reblog for reach (if you want 🫶🏻)
why i want an adults only space
a main reason is i like to post horny content and share explicit fics and don't wanna be a creep around kids.
teens you guys are cool, i don't mind you following me here bc i trust y'all to self determine what's appropriate for you in public spaces, and i definitely used to be that teen in fandom *redacted* years ago.
but when it comes to one on one interaction ie. discord where it tends to get a bit more personal, i just worry about being too open around minors.
i've also had people say to me that don't want to be in a chat with minors and i want there to be a space for us 🫶🏻
also being a queer sw is isolating in servers not only bc of whorephobia run wild with civ moderators but also bc if it's got minors i feel like every part of my life is "nsfw" and like i'm held under a higher scrutiny in that aspect. it just feels safer if there aren't any minors around.
