1. you touch me with hands that tremble like autumn leaves in the wind, as though you are afraid that one great gust will grab me from your grasp, –– or that worse… that I will fall all on my own. That I will leave you barren and empty. That you will be alone. 

2. I promise you will never be alone.  3. When we fuck, you leave bruises and bites on the skin of my neck.  Your teeth tear paths down the length of my throat;  when we fuck, you call me beautiful.  Angel.  Baby. Princess.  When we fuck, I can feel your heart like a hummingbird in your chest.  When we fuck, you keep your eyes on mine. When we fuck, the lights are on.  When we fuck, you kiss me on the mouth. 

You call me beautiful even when we don’t fuck.  4. Your keep your bedroom door closed as you fall asleep.  But as you sleep, it is your mother with her paper thin fingers up against the wood it is her ears to the wall, it is her lips on your cheek,  it is the whispered goodnights that echo in this fractured frame of a family.  In the morning the door is open.  5. Your family is not your family.  6. I am your family.  7. We are your family and you are so loved.  8. You are loved.  9. You are loved.  10. You are not your father.  You never have been.  You never will be. 

In honor of the birth of @angelsonfirehq I figured it’s time I teach some of you guys how to roleplay the way that group is expecting you to: in bandom-style.

Spoiler: throw out your gifs and say goodbye to having everyone and their moms reading your smut on the dash!! You can even reply on mobile without any hassle.

Let’s jump right on in.

• YES, Sharks are not bloodthirsty monsters. They only do what they do because they are instinctively driven to do so.
• NO, sharks are not your friends. They are not sea-puppies, gentle babies, or whatever BS anthropomorphic “cute” term you want to use to describe them.
• YES, you are more likely to be killed by falling coconuts and any number of improbable circumstances than you are to be killed by a shark attack,
• NO, sharks are not “harmless”. They are apex predators of their habitats and deserve to be treated with the same respect that you would give to a wild lion, bear, or wolf. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LIKELY TO ATTACK YOU DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WON’T. ACCIDENTS CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN, AND A SHARK’S PATIENCE IS NOT LIMITLESS.
• YES, you should take every precaution to prevent a shark from “test-biting” you.
• NO, a test-bite is not just a harmless consequence of shark curiosity. A TEST-BITE CAN KILL YOU. Just because sharks generally release people after the first nip and don’t make any effort to eat them does not mean that the bite is somehow any less deadly. You will bleed out in the water if the wound is bad enough.
• YES, sharks are endangered and unfairly demonised and worthy of our support.
• NO, that does not mean that anthropomorphising them and spreading false information is okay.
