Steal smoked fish 🐟🐟🐟

I see your destinies above you / like angels who don't love you, for sure. This song is such a classic. It hearkens back to We Shall All Be Healed, but in a gentler, more compassionate way. The kindness that distance brings, you know? I do also want to give a shout-out to God bless all petty thieves, because that's just such a good line. Anyway, back to the angels. I love it when JD personifies things that aren't people: destinies, fears, thoughts and feelings. He does it in a few songs, Until I Am Whole (Hold your hopes underwater / Stand there and watch them drown / Fishing out their bodies / From the bathroom sink / Leave them in a bucket / 'Til they start to stink) and I believe Outer Scorpion Squadron (Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most / Rake the sands 'til they surface / Bind their tiny eyes, and then drowning again -- Ghosts of my childhood / Stay with me if you will / Find a place where there's water / Hold you under 'til you're still) and those two are sort of painful, and so is this one I think, but Steal Smoked Fish is gentler. In Until I Am Whole and Outer Scorpion Squadron, the personified things are hopes, dreams, bad memories, etc, things that exist, but on their own have little power, not compared to a destiny. You could argue that hopes and dreams and bad memories have power, but they only have the power that you give them: the narrators of both songs kill these little creatures of theirs, drowning them. But in Steal Smoked Fish, the angels belong to other people, not the narrator, and they're above them, and they're not helpless little creatures waiting to be drowned. They are benevolent and murderous, beautiful and terrible: angels that don't love you. The line just before that couplet I picked is Some of you will be dead next year. The narrator sees the future in retrospect, your destinies above you, and gives it form, a form with power, not a little thing to be drowned in a bucket and left to rot. I don't have a central thesis here, I just think it's an interesting comparison.

An Unsexy Post About Censorship

Sooo...gumroad is shutting down NSFW content sales because of Stripe and Paypal. This is also why Wishtender has been down as well, if you weren't aware. And why Patreon is also cracking down on anything remotely kinky.

(If you're wondering why your favorite FICTIONAL sexual content isn't allowed on most platforms, it's payment processors.)

Please be extra kind to anyone who works with NSFW content right now, whether it be art, writing, audio, photos or video. Whether it be tasteful erotica, or the kinkiest BDSM porn you can think of, we're all in the crosshairs right now.

And, judging by trends from these past few years, this is only going to get worse.

Support NSFW creators where you can, whether by tipping or buying our content (where you still can) or just helping boost content on sites where algorithms want to drown us out.

Call representatives where you can and complain about payment processors acting as arbiters of what YOU are and aren't allowed to pay for and enjoy.

This may be about porn right now, but censorship of this caliber doesn't just stop with porn. Any transgressive (read: non-conservative) media is fair game.

Fight against it where you can. Support creators where you can.

Art is important. Reflections of our sexuality are important. We don't want a world where people aren't free to make or see the things they love and enjoy.

#nyxrambles #Warning: I'm going to get kind of grim in the tags so peace out of you have to. #This bums me out so fucking hard! #I have artist friends who are struggling because their content suddenly goes against these stupid fucking guidelines! #I'm going to have to take my stuff off of Gumroad even though it was previously allowed! #It's hard to not feel like everything is just spiraling toward fascism sometimes yanno? #I am usually opposed to slippery slope arguments but the goal of moral conservativism is to destroy everything that isn't in line with it. #They will not stop until the world reflects their narrow ideals. Like...that's the whole point of it! #Sorry guys I'm just having a rough one. #Between this and being sick for months I'm getting pretty fucking Done. #I'll be okay but I'm not going to pretend it isn't hard and scary.

Something i really like about Merlin is how they didn’t make love a redemptive force. Uther loves both his children very much -- doesn’t make him a good man or even necessarily a good father. Merlin and Arthur love each other so much, but it doesn’t save either of them, nor does it always makes them better --  oftentimes, it makes them worse. It makes the love no less compelling or meaningful -- in my opinion, it only makes it more so, and it’s a more realistic approach to love. Thoughts and feelings!

#bbc merlin #merlin meta #the other thing is that bc of the genre and style and target audience of the show #you EXPECT the love to fix everything #and the characters do too #merlin's always like 'if i am devoted enough to arthur i can prevent his death' #he -- and we -- hold on to this belief until the very end #and then they drop it on you like a brick #even though we've been seeing love being insufficient for the whole show #show of all time

One thing that's starting to really get to me with the James Somerton stuff is a real strong undercurrent of disdain toward his fans. And yeah, I was one of them. A good scam artist isn't as easy to spot as y'all seem to think. You forget that you have all the information right now. Two days ago most of you had never heard of him and it would have kept going. Anyone can fall for a scam, nobody is immune. I would love to have had whatever resources you guys think we all should magically know about so I could have kept my sad $5 a month I really needed but thought was going to something worthwhile. Some of us can only devote so much energy into things and when you have no idea whatsoever that something is amiss of course you're not going to go digging for sources, why would you when everything is fine as far as you know? I really wish I could have seen the dissenting opinions on him but for many, many reasons that aren't just that the dissenting voices weren't widely circulating at the time all I had was the thought every now and again that "huh that doesn't seem right" and then go on with my day. And I think that happened to a lot of us. So yeah. Say what you gotta say about Somerton, he has more than earned it with the damage he's caused, but maybe don't shit so hard on his former fans because that is going to be you someday with something, it happens to everyone sooner or later.

#james somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #I really am greatful for Harris and Todd's hard work in exposing all of this #and I am glad I get to see the real voices I did like that james was stealing #I'm just tired of all these people jumping on the drama train taking a dump on folks who are also victims of these crimes #razz rambles #this whole situation is upsetting me in the weirdest ways #I'm distraught but I'm not at the same time #and yet it's 6am and I can't stop reading through the tags and seeing the takes I missed #vaspider's essay and remarks from an AIDS pandemic survivor are especially good #I lived through that shit too but had no idea I was living through it #cuz that's what being blind and impoverished in rural community was like #queer wasn't even something I knew I could be until like 2010 #so it's nice to see my own history #it's not just the young queers who have little to no knowledge of our history

yet another svsss hill I'm dying on despite the apparent popular opinion — bingqiu would be great parents! give them a decade of peace and quiet to start healing from the trauma of.. everything and to get comfortable in the fact that their love and commitment to the other is reciprocated equally, and I can 100% see them wanting some little ones.

Shen Qingqiu overcame both his age AND gender to become Cang Qiong's resident milf in a matter of days after his transmigration. He's great with kids - as Shen Yuan he had a younger sister who he likely helped raise or was at least somewhat close with, he obviously loves teaching and doting on his disciples, he's immediately protective of random-abandoned-toddler!Binghe in the dream realm after escaping from the Water Prison, and obviously in the Return to Childhood extra he's (the only one) having a great time. you're telling me he WOULDN'T want a baby version of Binghe for real??

and as for Luo Binghe himself, the joke/argument I see most often is that he'd be jealous of the baby for taking his shizun's time and attention away from him. first of all, by the end of the novel, do you know how many times that man has died in his arms, pushed him away, or been separated from him in some other very traumatic ways, mostly while he was being influenced by an evil sword that amplified his worst intrusive thoughts? do you know how many people WOULD take Shen Qingqiu away, given the chance?! I think he deserves to be a bit paranoid!! but again, with a bit more distance and healing from his traumas, time, and reassurance that Shen Qingqiu really is staying, I fully believe he will mellow out in that regard. with that aside, Luo Binghe is a total mama's boy, he's a part-time emperor full-time housewife, and his greatest dream has always been to be a family with Shen Qingqiu. I don't think it's a stretch at all to imagine that someday in the future, he would want to grow that family with him too. and although we don't see him interacting with children in canon the way we do Shen Qingqiu, I cannot imagine him not loving his kids, a tangible result of their love, to pieces too.

#I'm passionate about this can you tell #lies and slander (/hj) are being spread about bingqiu CONSTANTLY and I am standing my ground to defend them until I can stand no longer #but on another note #my absolute favorite way for bingqiu to acquire a baby is through some pidw-typical magic plant #the whole plant baby concept is just SO CUTE #and I'm w shen qingqiu on this one honestly #BABY BINGHE #any bby w binghe's genes is gonna be the cutest the world has ever seen #I don’t make the rules airplane does #svsss #人渣反派自救系统 #bingqiu #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #svsss meta #scum villain's self saving system
