it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!

Like, I don't even read the Romance genre, so I really have no skin in this game, but y'all's grandmas were so much braver. Today's Romance covers are so vanilla that nobody knows what they're even buying.
Meanwhile, there was no mistaking what your grandma was buying when she went up to the cash register.
Seeing takes on here like 'trans women are defined by experiencing transmisogyny' make me so sad.. What a doom-spiralling thing to push onto the community, especially any hatchlings.
Instead of going "you are trans and thats okay, being trans isn't bad, the word just treats you in a bad way because of it and it hurts, sure, but you need to stay resilliant and relearn to love yourself and take pride in your identity" y'all wanna push the narrative that our trans identity is defined by pain and suffering. Nothing else. There's no joy in transfemininity, just suffering. Being trans is to suffer.
And that is a rhetoric I hate deeply. It is filled with so much internalized grief over trans identity, I don't understand how anyone would push that onto other people.
If you want to give up hope we'll ever get rights & believe that no trans woman will ever be happy, do that on your own time, but don't make it a major point in your queercourse opinions. Genuinely cannot believe I must make this statement.
also, i'd like to point out that defining trans womanhood by experiencing transmisogyny is just a reskinned version of how TERFs/radfems define womanhood by experiencing misogyny.

The hairs on your arms rise as you feel the rumbling in your bones. But you need to know what this is. You must learn if this is something you’ll have to worry about. If you can see it, then you can know it, and if you know it, you can avoid it. That is what you over and over tell yourself as you creep deeper and deeper down. You are doing this because you must, not because you want to.
The stairway takes you far underground. The rumbling grows louder and louder as you descend. But eventually, you do reach the bottom. Another door awaits you, this one just as ancient and rusted as the last. It, too, screeches like a tortured animal as you push it open. You flinch as your ears ring from the harsh sound, knowing that whatever is making that noise will surely have heard it as well.

somacruisingReblogged askhenrymorrisallthingswhumpyandangstyFollowto that anon who asked me about censorship and asking people to properly tag their warnings:asking people to properly tag their warnings doesn’t count as censorship people should always tag their warnings properly that said, the basic internet etiquette is that not everybody will tag their warnings properly and there’s always a chance of you stumping across things you don’t want to see. sure, you can politely ask them to tag their warnings. but even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll listen to you. especially when, on tumblr and most social media platforms, tagging is only a courtesy. it is not required. it is not a rule. I have things I’m uncomfortable with. I have come across things I’m uncomfortable with that aren’t tagged properly. what I do is that, instead of asking the OPs to properly tag their stuff, I scroll past the post. I can also mute or block the OPs. the main internet rule I use is to always curate my own internet experience. always assume that it’s my own job to curate what I see, because other people aren’t doing it for me. if I see something I don’t like, I can ignore, scroll past, mute or block accordingly. so what I see is my own responsibility, not strangers’. 62329

Red hair curls around his shoulders, pressed close to his face by the flared collar that arches up from the long cape hanging over his shoulders. He’s wearing armor, a cuirass so dark brown it is almost black. It glints with a smooth red sheen like the carapace of a beetle. It looks as if it were made to resemble bat wings wrapping protectively around his torso. Chainmail tassets hang around his hips and his greaves have been stylized to resemble some sort of horned creature. Somehow, though, your eyes end up being drawn to the dark stone that hangs around his neck. It’s a deep black gem proudly displayed in a golden cradle resting against the man’s chest.His eyes reflect a red gleam in the dim light, and you feel your chest tighten with fear.

Then add two little hearts around himStep 2:Draw the back of the collar using the hearts as a guide! (Don’t be afraid to have it distort outside or inside the heart a bit)Step 3: Delete the parts of the hearts that you don’t need anymore!And now it is complete :)Good luck with the rest of him!#cv#Walter Bernhard#lament of innocence#akumajou dracula#I thought this might be useful cuz Walter has a pretty complicated design#you don’t have to do it this way but I do because it works for me :31412

somacruisingOkay but more seriously I think the way Beatrice’s torture of Rosa is sooo much like… it’s way more fucked up than anything she does to anyone else. I desperately need to reread the second half of the novel again to double check but I don’t even remember Natsuhi getting it THIS bad. I don’t think what she does to Battler is even this bad tbh.#I love the episode 2 tea party a lot if you can’t tell#I think it fucked up my gf tho LMAO45
