My next two weeks are finals weeks so I don’t have but a few minutes to spare for this - but it’s worth it. Tumblr flagged multiple reblogs in my queue for “adult content” when all they were were fanart of Makoto and Haru not in any smexy pose. One had them in their swimming attire and looking at each other and holding their towels. The other had them sitting down, looking at each other, Haru as a merman and Makoto in swim trunks. Neither image contained nudity or even kissing. Just young men in swim wear looking at each other.
But the shock! The outrage! The indecency!
I will not delete my account or anything in it. I will merely let it sit inactive (and in time-out to think about what it’s done). I will also not be disappearing (anymore than I have already, at least) and I do plan to return to being more active in my writing and fandom in general once I’ve handled my higher priority matters.
It’s been real. It’s been an adventure. And I love you all. But sometimes we outgrow a social media platform. And that’s ok! Don’t be afraid or sad. It’s happened. It’s happened a lot, actually. (MySpace, Live/DeadJournal, etc.) This is just a step in our evolution and growth. There’s nothing to mourn, just a new change to our every day mundane to embrace. Change is good.
So in conclusion, feel free to find me on twitter, under the username silvernsapphire, and on AO3 as KireinaAme. I promise I will return to a more active and participatory state in the future.
See you there~
