HOW TRAUMA AFFECTS THREAT ASSESMENT

I'm going to approach the conversation from my perspective as a survivor of incest, and as someone who lives with really terrible c-PTSD as a result.

I'm going to respond to this as a therapist who works with survivors of all kinds of trauma and who has done my own trauma work - clawing my way out of my own trauma responses with both traditional and non-traditional methods of dealing with it.

(clears throat)

People can fantasize about murder because they want to and have that be the reason they make horror art. And people can fantasize about incest because they find it hot and create incest-fantasy pornography for that reason. That is literally fine.

Go to porn hub and you will so much porn of both actually.

I'm so completely serious. There is no reason anyone needs to justify that. Once you start that? You're in thought-crime territory.

And I want everyone to remember? That feeling? That you have to explain WHY it's okay to write horrible things?

You are being asked to turn out your pockets when antis do that, fandom. But you do not owe ANYONE your vulnerability. Not ever.

And people who have been abused? Have usually been told that their reality is a problem - typically through gaslighting - and are seeking to control others to control their own reality. So when Antis police other people? Chances are they are perpetuating control behaviors that they experienced.

I am telling you this as a licensed mental health professional.

I want anyone seeing this to know yall do not have to have a trauma history to justify creating art about horrific art. You can just like it. It can just be fun!

You do not have to justify ANYTHING you do EVER to anyone except for the things you explicitly agree to with the people with whom you are in social contracts. Do yall understand me?

And when it comes to FICTION?

None of this is real. There are no social contracts to enter into beyond what the law says - which is around copyright. So if you have the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality? Congrats. You can do whatever you want.

Don't break the rules of your archive, don't plagerize, don't make anything commerical that you aren't allowed to and make sure you that you don't break the rules of anywhere you sell your work. Am I missing anything? I don't think I'm missing anything. If I am?

Beyond that?

not the orange man please lads

The King's Prerogative

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

calculusmadeeasy.org

I think it’s funny but also very wholesome that Josh Hutcherson was open about how he’s bicurious/flexible.

“Maybe I could say right now I’m 100 percent straight,” “But who knows? In a f**king year, I could meet a guy and be like, ‘Whoa, I’m attracted to this person.’”

Because yeah he’s right who knows. It be like that sometimes! It’s okay to just be like wow! I like this person regardless of gender!

Look i tried to laugh it off, but I haven’t stopped thinking about this message because… my cat literally isn’t green

like where is the green

Oh Christ

This is the color your cat is

colors i eyedropped directly from op's cat

I drew a tree using only colours eyedropped from OP's cat.

every time i see this post all i see is some green alien kitty with antennae so i had to draw it

I originally thought those were supposed to be mushrooms, implying that this cat is moldy

Moldy forest cat

i'm happy y'all made fan art of my cat. i tried to show her and she just rubbed her face on my phone

Pet your cat OP, 50% shot it helps.

the first time I reblogged this, like a few weeks ago, it had like 4,000 notes. why do people keep insisting tumblr is dead

i had a DREAM about the green cat last night. not sure what she was up to but. nice to meet her :)

GREEN CAT IS BACK ON MY DAAAAAASH

I’m sorry but if you think Aziraphale broke Crowley’s heart and broke up with him, please watch both seasons a few more times and think a bit more critically because it takes a minute of deeper thinking to see Aziraphale also confessed his feelings and begged Crowley not to leave him.

Crowley was the one to go for a kiss, just because that’s how things are always between them. He is the one who does the final push.

Aziraphale was the one who planned a whole fucking ball just to ask Crowley to dance with him. He is the one who thinks of them as “us” throughout the season.

As usual Aziraphale planned the seeds and Crowley harvested.

It just didn’t go as they both hoped it would.

They’re both as heartbroken as each other.

The more I think about the last minutes the more I’m sure Crowley was saying goodbye from the minute Aziraphale told him he’d said yes to Heaven. He doesn’t confess his love like he’s hopeful, he confesses it like a eulogy. He doesn’t kiss him to make a beginning, he kisses him to seal the end. He watches him go like it’s the last time.

Crowley knows Heaven. He knows they’ll either make Aziraphale just like them, or they’ll destroy him. Either way I think he is sure he’s seen his angel for the last time.

@theniftycat you’re right, and he’s right, and that’s why he’s been fighting so hard all along not to disrupt it — he’s so afraid of losing what they have. He lost everything when he lost Heaven. He can’t forget how completely it was taken. He’s always on guard to keep what good he has hidden, and he’s always trying to keep Aziraphale soft and safe. He loves him as he is — and that is beautiful. But he doesn’t tell him what he needs to know — doesn’t tell Aziraphale how awful Heaven’s trial was, for fear of crushing him. He doesn’t tell him he’s living in his car, for fear of crowding him. He doesn’t tell him he loves him for fear of pressing him! But Aziraphale needs to know! He needs to change! They both do! “Nothing lasts forever” — that was right. If they’re ever going to find their way to their quiet place in Sussex they’ll have to let their lives change. That’s the only way to get back what was best about them, after it all.

I will say it again!!! Crowley's line at the end of the second episode is the saddest line in the show!

"Then nothing has to change, does it?"

Oh Crowley, it has to change if you want to really be "an us." The flip side of "nothing lasts forever" is "something will be different." And that's not always bad.

That. Crowley in the book may be an optimist, but this Crowley is more of a traumatized minimalist. He won’t ask for more explosions of light across endless skies; he’ll take what he can get (a night’s company, a good drink, a quick and furtive mercy), and he’ll be grateful for it.

He needs a maximalist, indulgent, determined angel to insist that it’s not enough, that he deserves to be handed back Heaven itself. To have it all remade for him. And if it turns out Heaven isn’t capable of being what he deserves, he’ll give him the world — if the world is one small cottage stuffed full of plants and books, with a full view of stars above it, and one angel’s whole heart.

Even Crowley’s confession isn’t asking for more! He’s only asking that they stop pretending! He only says he wants to stop never mentioning the obvious. And he still doesn’t manage to mention it — the “I love you.”

All their lives, ever since Aziraphale ate an ox at his behest (!), he’s simply opened up the wonders of things to the angel and watched him indulge. He’s treated him, and rescued him, and lingered one more hour in his beautiful home and his beautiful presence before going back to his bare walls and empty table. He hasn’t yet managed to indulge himself in more than a fast car and a new gadget — a nice hairstyle, but miracled up, not barbered — a sleep that’s more of an escape. Nothing that looks like an appetite, nothing that looks like safety or letting your guard down or making a home.

Aziraphale can give him that. Aziraphale tried to undo the order of the eternal to give him that, and I can’t wait to see him open his own Earthly joys to be always unreservedly Crowley’s once he understands.

My butch and I are both lesbians. We are, neither of us, men.

But I call him my boyfriend. I call him my boytoy, my boy, sir, Mr., guy. Cause this language makes him happy. It supports his gender and expression, and it makes him happy.

Butches of all flavors and types have been using he/him pronouns and masculine language forever. Butches have been called boy, guy, boyfriend. Butches have used "traditionally masculine" names like Mitch, Ed, Mac, Joe.

Cause guess what?

Language is fake! It's all made up! If it makes you happy, use it! Wanna call yourself "boy," even if you're not a man? Do it! Wanna be called "boyfriend," even if you're not a guy? Go for it!
