If we are strangers to each other, please do not ask me to share your fundraiser. I will not share fundraisers from people I do not know.
Due to my own personal triggers, if you follow me from a blog that centers heavily on eating disorders, I will block you.
I’m 32. This blog is mostly sfw, but does occasionally contain adult-oriented content. If you are a minor following me, I expect you to block the “nsfw” tag so these posts are blocked, and to not interact with them. This blog also will occasionally contain graphic depictions of violence and blood.
I’m okay with anything I post being reblogged unless it’s tagged with “please don’t reblog” or some variation thereof.
If you don’t want me to answer an ask publicly, please say so as I will usually do so. I am also open to private DMs. Anons are usually on and usually it’s fine to ask me anything as long as it’s genuine/in good faith, just put warnings ahead of anything explicit, suggestive, or potentially disturbing so my followers can be warned if I answer publicly.
I will tag things if you ask me to, as long as it’s not too difficult to do so. I already tag commonly blocked things like nsfw, gore, and blood. I have also been asked to tag spiders, trypophobia, blood, and weed so I will do my best to remember.
I write as a hobby. Most of my current writing is original works. Some of them have illustrations/visuals, but you are free to imagine the characters differently if you like. I welcome fanart, fanfiction, roleplaying asks, and collaborative worldbuilding, for anyone who feels so inclined. Just tag me so I can see! :)

Desperate Daybreak - The direct sequel to Magnanimous Moonrise & Savage Sunset. (The tag for posts about this story is still #MMSS) (Ongoing)
Watch Your Step - An entomologist finds an injured fairy while out in the field. (The tag for posts about this story is #Watch Your Step) (Ongoing)
Valen still felt like he was drifting on a cloud the next morning, brain swamped with thoughts of what’d happened the previous day. A member of his own staff has tried to assassinate him, but somehow that didn’t feel like the most important thing that’d happened. No, somehow it’d been those three words spoken right before bedding down the same way they always do.
My own favorite paintings of centaurs in mundane situations include “The Centaur Playing with Her Child” by Otto Soltau and “A Centaur Playing with His Son” by Otto Bache
Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all
Alright it might not have ethical weight.
But you still don’t get to go to the library covered in bodily fluids. It’s not an ethical weight but it is a SAFETY HAZARD.
Did you read the post either? “You shouldn"t go to the library covered in bodily fluids because it’s a safety hazard” isn’t an argument that is evoking disgust
Caring about OSHA and health regulations is disgust now everybody! Congrats. Your response is exactly what I’m critiquing.
That is literally the exact opposite of what I said. I said that it ISN’T and argument evoking disgust.
Again: Do you read the posts that you are responding to?
Hey everybody, I’m going to post this short piece that I wrote for MMSS! Originally it was a bonus exclusive for the kickstarter campaign of the definitive version as an incentive to preorder. It’s been long enough since then that I feel like I can post it now! This takes place long before the events of MMSS.
As a reminder, the definitive version of MMSS is available in ebook and paperback, with both books polished and with additional scenes not available in the rough version online like this, here from WPP!
Warnings: Mass dehumanization, compulsive heterosexuality
Valen’s coursework was more focused on biochemistry than on anatomy, but she shared a lot of core courses with the veterinary program. Which meant she ended up studying human health and wellness more often than anyone in other programs, which meant she knew much more about humans than the average vampire.
Even still, she had never met one.
Well… she’d seen them. But not met one, in the sense that the only humans she ever saw were hypnotized thralls that did little more than follow direct commands. She saw them in public on occasion, with those who could afford to keep humans.
my safe clothing items that I wear day in day out for years and years should never break or rip or wear down. the power of friendship should stop that kind of thing
I will never forget 2013, the first time I visited America as an adult, my friend Kite was driving me to a nearby friend’s house from my hotel after Anthrocon. We were on a major road travelling south out of downtown Pittsburgh, and every thirty seconds or so Kite would very loudly swear at other motorists.
When I said “Kite you’re acting kind of scary,” Kite replied with “yeah okay Vex this is just America dude, you’re going to learn that this is just kinda how things are around here”
And then immediately after he said this, some asshole in the world’s most compensatory pickup swerved across all four lanes of traffic to cut us off, and without even thinking I just yelled “YOU FUCKING STUPID FUCKING CUNT” at the top of my lungs
And Kite just said “yeah see there you go!” and I fully understood what US roads are like
ideal living situation is what i call the ‘sitcom special’ : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.
