Me while running a fever and doing many nebulizer treatments: I'm going to hang out with some friends!
My concerned mother: but you're sick??
Me while blowing my nose aggressively: My covid test is negative, it's fine
My very concerned mother: but you are really sick????
Me while shivering from the fever and having difficulty standing up: its not covid, I'm fine
My mother who is tired of my bullshit: no, you are staying here and doing another round of the nebulizer
Me while giving up and taking a nap: fine, but you have to turn off the light for me... Thanks...
weirdest side effect of the pandemic is how many people i know who get sick and say 'but my covid tests are negative so i should be fine' like you know other illnesses. exist. right.
THIS IS THE FIRST CONTENT I HAVE SEEN OF A GOMENS AND TOA CROSSOVER I AM VERY
okay hear me out
“May I hug you?”
“When I ask you if you want to do something, you know it’s always okay to say no, right?”
“Let me know if you get uncomfortable, okay?”
“How do you feel about (x activity)?”
(When someone’s insecure about having said no and asks if it’s okay/if you’re mad or upset they said no) “I’m disappointed to not do the thing, of course, but I’m much more glad you were willing to tell me (no/that you were uncomfortable/etc.). That’s really important to me. Thank you.”
“I’d ALWAYS rather be told no than make you feel pressured or do anything to hurt you or make you uncomfortable.”
“I care about you, so when something I do hurts you or makes you uncomfortable, I want to know, because I don’t like making you feel bad.”
“You can always change your mind, okay? The moment you wanna (stop/go home/take a break/etc), PLEASE tell me and we’ll stop right away. I won’t make a fuss, I don’t wanna keep going if you don’t want to.”
“Wanna do (x)? It’s okay if not, but I think it would be (fun/worthwhile/prudent).”
(When starting a social phone call): “Hey, are you busy right now?”
(When confirming plans made earlier): “Hey, are you still up for doing (x) at (time) on (day)?”
“Can I vent a little about (x)?”
“Can I tell you something (gross/depressing)?”
“Are you comfortable talking about it?”
“Do you think you could talk me through this problem I’ve been having? If you have the time and emotional energy of course.”
“It’s okay if that doesn’t work for you.”
“I’m interested in spending more time with you. Would you be interested in doing (x) together on (y day)?”
“No? Well let me know if you ever want to do something else.” (leave it open! don’t nag! let it go!)
“You don’t seem very interested in this. Should we skip it?”
(When someone doesn’t seem interested in something you were suggesting) “We can just (do something you both want to do) instead.” (don’t try to get them to do the thing again! let it go!)
Give people as much freedom as possible to make their own choices without pressure or control.
Even children deserve as much autonomy as allows them to remain safe and get their needs met - remember, you can’t train a child to make good/safe/healthy choices without ever giving them choices. A child who is taught to respect consent is a child who doesn’t assault people! A child who knows they have a right to say no is a child who knows that someone who infringes on their autonomy isn’t supposed to do that.
A consent-conscious relationship is a healthier and safer relationship, and a person who is aware of and deliberate about asking for, giving, receiving, refusing, and accepting refusals of consent is a healthier and safer person.

this is the official amatonormativity hatepost.
i hate amatonormativity.
B disarms A, swinging their sword back up and preparing for the final blow. As eyes widen.
A: you wouldn't- no no no. It's me! It is me under the mask!
A lifts off their mask revealing their face as B looks at them with sad eyes.
B: I know.
Bs guard falters and A reaches out toward B
A: you? You knew? Then why have we been fighting this whole time?
Bs grip tightens back up and they press A against a wall. Sword to the throat.
A: oh-
B looks away as their calculated assassin face leaves and they start to cry.
A: oh honey- its okay.
B: I have to kill you, you know.
A: its okay! We can fake it and they will never know. We can run away, live in the woods. Wake up each morning side by side. Doesn't that sound nice?
B: ...you know that you would get bored. You would come back to this life.
A: I won't! I will do it for you!
A reaches out and cups Bs face
B: and yet we both know thats a lie.
B takes As hand and kisses it, looking sweetly down at A.
B: You were always my star. You will always be my star. I love you.
A: I love you too.
A pulls B close into a kiss, B reciprocates and they both lean into it, touch starved and frenzied. Breaking only for air.
as they both breath heavily, B readies their sword and As eyes widen as they tense up.
A: The order of-
B shakes their head and A shuts up.
B: don't let their name taint this moment, love.
A closes their eyes and exhales slowly.
A: I love you.
B puts their lips back on As. A gentle and soft kiss as B brings the sword in with a swift and practiced motion. Causing a quick and painless death.
B: I love you too my star, I love you too.
Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.
I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
Reminded that a whip crack is the sound of the whip breaking the sound barrier. This is. Peak.
It doesn't get cooler than that tbh. Like. YOU ARE HOLDING SOMETHING THAT IS BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER. YOU WITH YOUR HUMAN HAND AND HUMAN ARM ARE MAKING SOMETHING GO FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND.
pspspsps, Toasty, feeling too strongly about something? HAVE to tell somebody before you explode? POST IT HERE YA BASTARD.
