Ae Replycons! For 🥞 Anon!

Lore in Buffy is of course extremely loosey goosey but I will never not love that a number 2 pencil counts for the purpose of a wooden stake to the heart for vampire slayage

But would you promise to never leave me in the sense that even if we grew apart, even if we went different ways physically you would carry the pieces that i gave you forever? that even if the memories were no longer taken out and polished everyday that you would keep them in a well loved box in the attic of your mind? That you wouldn’t toss every bit away and instead would let them linger and love them even if they were tainted by the lens of hindsight. Would you promise to love me in the sense that even if we left each other behind we’d never be able to call one another strangers

Your deities love you.

Haven’t tidied their altars in forever? They understand.

Don’t have the motivation to give them offerings? They get it.

You haven’t left bed for a long time? They still care about you.

Aren’t devoting time to them lately? They don’t mind

Forgot an offering? That’s alright. They forgive you.

Fucked something up? They’re not going to ditch you for your mistakes.

Decide to take a break from deity work? Totally cool, they’ll still be here for you.

Your deities understand your struggles. Even your mental health related issues. They get it, and they love you regardless. Just do your best for them, and they’ll appreciate it. 

You do realize just because you are also called something it doesn’t mean you’re what people called you, right?

Using that as an argument to use slurs that are not yours to reclaim is so stupid lol

I’ve been called straight before, does that mean I am straight? No…

Even if someone called me the f slur (that means someone gay, as in homosexual) that wouldn’t mean I’m that thing, which still doesn’t give me the right to reclaim that slur.

I’ve seen a lot of non-lesbian sapphics taking advantage of “I’ve been called dyke before so I get to call myself one” as an excuse to reclaim the word and the second they can they call a lesbian a dyke to offend them. So no, you don’t get to reclaim a slur if that slur doesn’t describe you.

Giles and Joyce from Buffy ❤️❤️. Anthony Head as Rupert Giles, Kristine Sutherland as Joyce Summers. Watercolour on paper.

It's no secret that consent online is just as important as consent irl. However, navigating consent on Tumblr can look a little bit different than in person. Here are some reminders on how to do so:

ASK before sending sexually forward messages or photos. Unless someone has it very clearly stated on their blog that they willingly accept sexual messages and photos, ask before you do so. Additionally, posting NSFW content ≠ consent. Remember that just because someone is not in a monogamous relationship does not necessarily mean they're seeking a partner or willing to flirt. If you're not sure, ASK!

RESPECT DNIs. Those are in place for a reason. People clearly state those who they are not comfortable interacting with. Do not cross that boundary. Especially respect age DNIs. No one under 18 should be engaging with NSFW content, but some blog set strict 21+ or 25+ rules.

BE CLEAR with your intentions. Tell that person exactly what you're looking for. Do not use the guise of friendship to seek out sexual attention. Do you want to just exchange messages or photos as well? Do you want something for just this once, or do you hope to maintain an ongoing relationship with this person?

"Yes" to exchanging sexual messages or sending photos is not a blanket statement. Be sure to establish boundaries/limits. This can include sexual acts that should not be discussed or whether or not you'll show your face in photos.

Understand that people's boundaries can change. Just because someone was once willing to exchange photos or sexual messages doesn't mean that they always will be. If they tell you "not right now" or "maybe later," that does not mean press them until they say yes. Respect the boundary and move on.

Not everyone wants to engage with NSFW content. Refrain from adding sexual tags/comments on SFW posts. Make your own post!

Respect "No" and "I'm not interested." Do not press someone or think you can change their mind. If someone blocks you, they want you to leave them alone. Do not make new blogs or message sideblog to try to talk to them. If you saved photos they sent you, delete them.

Do not feel guilty about enforcing your own boundaries. If someone crosses a line, you have every right to tell them they made you uncomfortable or block them. You don't need to sacrifice your comfort level to appease others.

Be safe, remember consent, and have fun!!
