One Of The Ways I Know This Culture Has A Massive Issue With Consent

one of the ways i know this culture has a massive issue with consent

is the sheer amount of people I’ve known that just lie & tell people they’re deathly allergic to foods they dislike

because otherwise people will hound them, mock them, coax them, harass them, try to force them to eat it, or even trick them into eating it, and they will never hear the end of it

your coworkers will bake it into a fucking pie, call it something else, and wait til your birthday, gather everyone and their first cousins to sit around in a circle waiting for you to put a forkful into your mouth and then point rhythmically at you in a chanting, glaring, sweating, unholy circle like SWISS CHARD SWISS CHARD YOU JUST ATE SWISS CHARD HA HA HA SWISS CHARD NOW YOU LIKE SWISS CHARD

Because forcing someone into a situation where they don’t feel safe declining putting something into their body they’d rather not be there is totes 100% wholesome American fun

And this is something so known that it’s infinitely easier to just lie and tell people that you’ll die if you eat that food…which actually doesn’t always stop it from happening

Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things

•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

Ok so I’ve been burned so many time by (YA) novels and other media about romances that were portrayed extremely poorly that I’m a complete and utter pessimist when it comes to reading/watching/playing anything romantic, but The Wayhaven Chronicles exceeded all expectations completely. 

What I expected from the A romance: A being a complete asshole and the Detective having to suffer through it silently (YA novels have ruined me cause they’re all written like that), a little pining, little to no feelings.

What my dumb ass GOT from the A romance: A being a dummy who can’t just talk to people like a normal person because?? How does one do that??? Even though they actually mean well. The Detective is a badass who puts them in their place when they act rudely, A constantly being cautious of not taking advantage of the Detective (y’all know the scene I’m talking about), a whole shit ton of feelings and pining, uhhhh 1000 blessings from God.

What I expected from the N romance: Sickly sweet conversations about N’s concern for the Detective borderlining on patronizing (I blame YA novels again), N being very…inexperienced.

What my dumb ass GOT from the N romance: N being one SMOOTH, SUAVE, SOPHISTICATED OPERATOR, 100% was NOT prepared for but LOVED, Uhhh, mutual respect and friendship and admiration and support, and 1000 more blessings from God.

What I expected from the F romance: F constantly quoting memes, never taking anything seriously, flirting with anything that moved even while flirting with the Detective, maybe being a tiny bit inconsiderate of the fact that the Detective might want more than flirtation (not maliciously intended).

What my dumb ass GOT from the F romance: F being a consistent source of camaraderie and honest friendship, not just flirtation though there was plenty of that good stuff, my good sir, F thinking critically about how to use their abilities to protect the Detective, F being SO CONSIDERATE of the Detective’s feelings, well-being, adjustment to the supernatural, and HOLY GOD how much they care about wanting to do right by the Detective, Venus the Roman goddess of love gave me a thumbs up.

What I expected from the M romance: M being a complete asshole who cares a ZERO amount for other people’s thoughts and feelings and is derisive towards the Detective (the typical YA ‘bad boy’), presses a sexual advantage over the Detective even if the Detective makes it clear they aren’t interested. (This happens all the time in media)

What my dumb ass GOT from the M romance: THEY CARE! They try to pretend they don’t, they really do, but every time you show concern for victims or softness for other people M scoffs out loud but they MELT inside! TOTAL MARSHMALLOW M. Heavily flirts with the Detective but isn’t creepy or over the top about it, honestly more feels than I was prepared for, OW, I got a high five from Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love after flirting with M ten times.

Uhhhhhh so yeah please play The Wayhaven Chronicles, this was my review of the game (I didn’t want to bring up any plot points because I CAN’T SPOIL IT IT’S TOO DAMN GOOD I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HOW MUCH I WAS GONNA LOVE IT) so please buy the game and play it, you won’t regret it, I promise!

here’s some info you might like to share

gofundme takes up to 7.9% of everything people donate you + $0.30 per donation

that means that if 10 people help you raise $1000, you’re losing $82 bucks

gofundme doesn’t allow fundraisers for abortions but let darren wilson open a fundraiser after he murdered mike brown

instead, try using http://www.youcaring.com/ which is not only free but also pro-choice and not fucking racist to my knowledge

they can stay free because they ask everyone who donates to a cause whether they’d like to donate $1 to the website to keep it running

good luck w/ ur fundraisers!!

sits up grabs ur shoulders Mollymauk is an ENTP…

DEF one of the two accept no substitutes please share the rest of your thoughts because i may or may not have already been thinking about this (your surprised face)

“I’ve never seen a group of people more in need of a good time in my life” - opening line of ENTP trying to sell you Fun, because there is no hotter commodity.

The ‘patronize’ pun he pulls on Beau is 100% xNTx wordplay. Also Tal’s saying on talks that Molly doesn’t like Beau because she’s kinda apathetic-sarcastic (which is of course SUPER hypocritical, and also very ENTP)

Again, an ESTP would have -actual charisma -an actual fashion sense (that COAT)

The most bothered Molly got was when People were Stupid. “oh dear, we’ve been found out, our VERY CLEVER plot to destroy our OWN SHOW with a zombie has been discovered, whatever shall we do.” I think an ESTP would be far more pissed about the “going to prison” part (YOU’LL NEVER TAEK MAH FREEDOM), whereas the ENTP would be WAY more pissed that people are making such an OBVIOUS, BORing assUMPtion.
