sorry to be cringey but can we stop this idea that every furry is a sex hungry freak that likes bestiality and has really disturbing kinks. being a furry is just thinking anthropomorphic animals are interesting and cute. theres nothing inherently sexual about being a furry. just because someone says “im a furry” they arent necessarily confessing to you how they get horny for foxes with tits or diapers on dogs or something. so when u see someone make a fursona or draw an anthro animal, dont immediately think “they wanna fuck animals”. sometimes its just that….anthro animals….are fun to draw.
It’s especially worth talking about that there is a significant amount of furries that are children and minors, and projecting sexual things into that is extremely vile.
I wouldn’t call myself a furry these days, haven’t been one for a number of years, but in late elementary school through to maybe grade 9 or 10, I spent a lot of time drawing my little fursonas and interacting with the large community of other tweens with fursonas on deviantart. There was nothing freaky about it, we were all just kids who enjoyed drawing animals and having an animal character that represented ourselves. It was fun and innocent.
People thinking of child me and my online friends in a sexual manner is nauseating. That’s what folks are doing when they declare that every kid who likes drawing funny coloured dogs and pretending that’s them is actually doing it for sexual reasons.
when mayhem is like, a baby, she is essentially watched 24/7 bc mothergrubs are like, a CLOSE but not quite troll equivalent. like…an elf to a human. same basic genetic structure but WILD variables, so mayhem starts out as a cute (hairless, glowing, etc) grub
calliope & roxy get to sit for her first, bc “well calliope is intertwined with the fabric of space and is also p great with kids, and roxy is….tolerable”. they actually know what they’re doing most of the time and understand that MGs mainly communicate through flashing telepathic images/empathy, and they can DEAL with that (not as well as kanaya and rose but they try!)
dave tried once and threw up because mayhem started flashing his brain and he wasn’t prepared for like, that
john is more of a rare babysitter but he makes soft and gentle breezes for her to spread her wings in (so like. she loves him obvs)
jade got her a telescope that she can use with her weird clicking claw hand things! love jade
most trolls don’t like interacting with mothergrubs bc they emit constant psychic energy. they’re basically like, giant fuzzy chatterboxes who like to learn things! and sometimes it’s better for them to not interact with trolls who they could accidentally influence to do something stupid
ya’ll headcanoning Miles shoplifting art supplies on the regular when canonically he can’t even get away with tagging a postal box with a removable sticker…is very sus…
Whites: so he uhhh is black…so they STEAL but he does it artistically….UwU
It shows they really want to apply racist stereotypes to miles even though it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever lol. First of all Miles is a good kid who would never steal and his family clearly has enough money to buy art supplies, even the expensive kind lol. And even if he wanted to steal something, you think Jefferson would let him get away with it?? Never have I heard someone headcanoning Spiderman as a thief. Spiderman, the friendly neighborhood hero who walks people home and stop people from robbing stuff, is gonna steal stuff from art stores????
miles wouldn’t steal anything ever. he’s too good a kid to
Miles stole a pencil from ikea by accident and cried about it for a week probably who do you think he is!!!
The only canon of Miles stealing anything is that video of the kid accidentally stealing a cup from a restaurant and crying to his mum to not call the cops
Miles? Stealing art supplies? As if he needs to?
Miles Morales has a $300+ drafting table setup in his bedroom, which these nerds would know if they weren’t busy being broke-asses on top of being racist fucking dummies lmao
…and on top of that, even if we’re assuming (generously) that the issue is bc he wouldn’t be able to buy spray paint on his own on account of being a minor: there’s spray paint stains & paint masking tape on that same table, which Miles’ parents clearly know he’s using inside, on top of his uncle’s support for his art. So like. They’re buying him the paint. Duh.
I know some of these folks can only “relate” to this character if they depict him as a negative stereotype or if they project “relatable” (out of character) traits on him to ~balance~ out the Afro-Latinness, but like… lmao sorry not sorry a Black Nuyorican kid’s not a thief & has a loving family who all universally invest in his interests and who foster, support, and fund his skills. 💁🏽♀️
jablinski blows any other game channel out of the water just for the entertainment value of jack black’s son trying to tell him he doesnt know anything about pop culture while jack black against ALL ODDS shows us that he knows way too much about pop culture

My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.
I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”
He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral
And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it
I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning
