Remember That Raccoon That Was Crushed By The Cruel Fate That Is Cotton Candy Plus Water? Well, There

Remember that Raccoon that was crushed by the cruel fate that is cotton candy plus water? Well, there was a happy ending after all!

To add onto this, I recommend people who are afraid of hate coming in their inboxes disable anonymous asks to make it easier to block and report hate accounts.

I submit my blog as an option for anyone who wants to talk. If you wanna vent or ask for support, PLEASE don't hesitate to message me.

Remember this when you're having a hard time: Take care of each other, Take care of yourself and take care of the state of your mental health

You are a human being and you don't deserve to be threatened or put down, no matter your gender or sexuality or identity or culture or religion or skin color or anything. You are not a burden. You are always worthy of love and support. 💗

This is important, please read and spread the word but most importantly stay safe:

so i’m sure many of you have heard of the thing called “Pridefall” that is being planned to happen on june 1st (beginning of pride month)

from what i’ve gathered, it’s a planned mass-attack on all openly LGBT+-friendly accounts and blogs across nearly all social media platforms, including tumblr. i don’t know exactly what the attacks will be, but i’ve heard that it will be general hate, slurs, death threats, suicide encouragement, porn/sexual threats, and other such disgusting things.

queer people and allies who wish to remain as lowkey and unhit as possible are highly encouraged to remove pronouns from their bios, remove flags and identities from blog themes/accounts/profile pictures/backgrounds, turn off DMs, close inboxes, and generally stay away from social media.

for those of you (like me) who will remain throughout this: report any hate blog/account you see for hate speech violations, harm to minors (if applicable), and any other thing you believe fits. block them, delete their comments/reblogs, and drown them out with pride and support. if you get anon hate, block the anon and delete the ask. do not give them a place or a voice on your blog, again drown them out with pride and support. it is okay if you have to leave to keep yourself safe, but if you DO stay active, stay as safe as possible.

i will remain as active as i can throughout this, keeping both my inbox and my DMs open so you all can continue to come to me for support and love. as a fairly popular, well-known blog that openly supports and is part of the lgbt+ community, i know i will not fly under the radar. i will continue to spread love, acceptance, and positivity while simultaneously reporting and blocking anyone who sends hate or comments hate or reblogs with hate. i will also be around for you peeps to come to me and my blog for love and support during this. hopefully it will die down soon as we smother the hate in pride, but i know that many of you will be hit with the hate. it is okay to reach out for help/love/support/assistance; it is okay to take a break from social media until it is safe; it is okay to block people on sight without second-thinking; it is okay to take down lgbt+ things from your blog to stay safe.

remember i love you all and i WILL remain open and active during this.

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

I decided to create a masterpost that would help you with what you are struggling with. Hopefully any of the links below will help you! Reminder; You’re going to be okay. What you are going through will pass, just remember to breathe.
