So, an anonymous person has alerted me to a situation that’s been going on, and it’s pretty fucking important.

Tl;Dr (written by this anonymous person)

“TL;DR

Ollie / Oliver / Richie / George is an abuser who has for a long time catfished many people and especially younger girls in an attempt to get into a relationship with them. He’s admitted to committing sexual offenses such as raping someone both when the person in question was drunk and not (so it’s a repeated offense). He threatens to post his ex girlfriends nudes in public and accused them of abuse when he was the one manipulating and abusing them.” -Anonymous

Here are some sources provided to me by anonymous that explains the situation more deeply with evidence.

Please keep in mind these posts mention rape, so if this triggers you, proceed with caution.

(i apologize if this is out of you guys league, but I figured this was important)

FWIW, if all the shitty fallout from this post hasn’t made it obvious, Ollie is both fairly well known and dangerous within the KS and role playing communities.

I’ve never actually interacted, but a friend who runs a KS server was warned about him and has expressed concern that he’d lie about his identity to get into the server. A lot of this stuff is NOT that far in the past, and clearly they’re still being incredibly nasty.

This isn’t just a couple burned people; this person’s demonstrated a consistent willingness to lie to, manipulate, and harm many people who considered him a friend.

Block them, block anyone who supports them. Do not engage.

Best to report as well as blocking if possible, this person shouldn’t be using the internet for this type of behavior.

I think that everyone has their own right to believe what works for them. Not everyone prays to gods or deities or entities. My personal belief is that there are more gods, deities, entities, and spirits than we could ever comprehend and even when we are going through bad times, there is someone who is there for us doing what they can. Whether that be a guardian spirit, a lesser deity or even just an entity who sympathizes.

Good question and I am not sure if you’re asking me this because I’m an animator or because its random but either way I will answer the best to my ability.

Now the main reason many of the disney princesses don’t have friends in general outside of animal friends is because you don’t want to have too many characters to animate, this was especially true in older animation where you had to hand draw everyone. It makes it more difficult to animate several characters or a set key amount. This also plays into story – in movies you keep characters you need. Unlike tv shows or cartoons, side characters need to be limited to either unimportant ‘filler’ characters used to fill in space or as characters that move the plot. In many cases of classical fairy-tales, friends weren’t mentioned because they weren’t important to the story being told. Having several side stories going on at once would make a 2 hour movie cluttered and confusing.

But as the movies moved on and were getting more updates such as modern tellings such as The Princess and The Frog, they had to rechange how the story was told, so to push the story along (especially a short story like the princess frog) they had to create new characters. Her friend character was created to help tell the story in this new extended context, in this case she was used to not only support Tiana’s character in the story but to be a ‘target’ of the villains’ plans to have the fake prince marry her. She was a key side character.

Looks like it will be a slow day at work today so send me some asks!

i love that one old timey 1910s trans dude who has a tiny wikipedia page for himself that he earned entirely due to him starting fights in bars and being the city’s hottest casanova

i mightve remembered it wrong but it still feels like half of this page is “I’m A Man For Fucks Sake” and the other half is “That Motherfucker Is In Jail Again And Also Bit A Cop”

oh my GOD this is the best list

black and asian vikings 100% definitely existed (also, saami vikings)

you know how far you can get into eurasia and africa by sailing up rivers from the baltic and mediterranean seas? pretty fucking far, and that’s what vikings liked to do to trade

then, you know, people are people, so love happens, business happens, and so ppl get married and take spouses back home to the frozen hellscape that is scandinavia (upon which i’m guessing the horrorstruck new spouses went “WHAT THE FUCK??? FUCKING GIVE ME YOUR JACKET???????”)

and sometimes vikings bought thralls and brought them home as well, and i mean, when your indentured service is up after however many years and you’re a free person again, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe it’s a bit hard to get all the way home across the continent, so you make the best out of the situation and you probably get married and raise a gaggle kids

so yeah

viking kingdoms/communities were not uniformly pure white aryan fantasy paradises, so pls stop using my cultural history and ethnic background to excuse your racist discomfort with black ppl playing heimdall and valkyrie

Also we KNOW they got to Asia and Africa. 

Why?

Because Asians, Africans, and Vikings TOLD US SO. 

Also, we know there was significant mercantile trade between Scandinavia and parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern India, Kashmir, North and Eastern Africa because there is evidence in burial sites.

Check that out: the goods Vikings and Scandinavians were getting from their trade with the rest of the world was so important they buried themselves with it, as part of their treasure hordes.

We KNOW this.

There’s a reason you can still see many of the trade routes from the ancient world etched into the very earth.

Plus, we know that some Scandinavian cultures that participated in Viking raids had established minority communities of ethnically Mongolian folks living among them during the periods when such raids were common, and it’s difficult to credit that none of them would have signed on.

… is that enough? 🙂

Yet another on the pile of reasons why it monumentally honks me off when pusillanimous, pseudointellectual white supremacist scum try to use Scandinavian culture as a crutch for their arguments and act like Norse mythology agrees with their biases. No it fucking doesn’t, bitch. Odin would personally kick you in the dick for being a witless coward and then send your ass to the Realm of the Dishonored Dead.

Yes. Yes. Very good. This post pleases Odin.

things that 15 year old me did sophomore year that my southern-bred god-fearing conservative christian teachers Did Not Like

• teacher refused to let me sit backwards in chairs. i made a point to sit backwards in chairs until she told me to stop, and then id manspread as much as possible. (semester one.)
• teacher got onto my friend and gave her a panic attack over her newly dyed hair. i told her my friend putting red streaks in her hair was no different than her removing the grey streaks from her hair. got sent outside. (semester one)
• teacher told me my bra strap was showing. took my bra off in class and put it in bag. was sent to principal’s office. mother was called, although she only muffled her laughter over the telephone. (semester two)
• [to homophobic teacher who disliked my mothers] “what language is gaelic from? gayland?” “that’s where my moms are from, ma’am.”
• teacher claimed i was lying about moving to uruguay and tried to force me into sitting in a personal meeting about my future classes and goals. told her to “sign me the fuck up for underwater basket weaving” and got sent outside. (semester two)
• was told by teacher that “ladies should not say they have to pee. try ‘can i use the restroom’ instead” replied with “alright. i gotta piss like a racehorse. can i use the restroom?“ (got sent outside. again. semester two)
• was told to “smile, you’ll look nicer” by a 6′0″ male coach i did not know. when he blocked my entrance out of the classroom until i smiled for him, i said “shove it straight up your ass,” before elbowing him in the ribcage, ducking under his arm, and running for it. skipped class in that building for a week. (semester two)
• hopped a fence to catch my bus and flipped off an ancient male history teacher when he shouted at me to come back. he threatened to find me again. he never found me. 

An inspiration.

I wish there was a way to tell companies that I dislike an ad so much that I will actively avoid buying anything from them because of it

So slightly unrelated but still relevant, generally when I come across an ad that just really fuckin annoys me for whatever reason I’ll go into Google and just type different variations of “I hate ‘x’ product” like 5 times until googles algorithm picks it up an I never see an ad for that product again. It’s amazing.

Anyone else terrified that they are toxic and manipulative and just can’t see it? Or is that just me?

A lot of people who’ve been abused think this. It’s very common for abusers to try to convince their victims that they, in some small part, deserve the abuse.

And a common way of doing that is to frame the defensive tactics of the victim as bad, manipulative things.

macabre-inactive-deactivated201:

This is funny because I am well aware of how inconsequential I am. I do not believe I am special or destined for greatness, I understand that  I am insignificant and will inevitably be forgotten with time. In the face of millions of other humans, the vast unknowns of space, and the stretches of the spiritual realms with it’s thousands upon thousands of subrealms and species, I am small. I do not believe myself to be more important then others. We are all equally inessential.

anon, go harass someone else. Keep doing what you’re doing dear! You’re definitely not vain or anything like that, you’re amazing and run a wonderful blog!

asterieee:

Male victims exist. Non-male abusers exist. Don’t erase male victims and don’t act like other genders can’t be abusive.

redsatinsheets:

idk if men know this but

if you have to beg a girl into saying yes, it’s not consensual. if you make a girl feel bad for not wanting to have sex with you to the point where she says yes, it’s not consensual. if you have to trick a girl into saying yes, it’s not consensual.

Cellulite is a female secondary sex characteristic and should be celebrated as a rite of womanhood, not despised or eradicated.

it’s really a secondary sex characteristic?! 

It is. It has to do with the way our bodies network fat. Female bodies create sort of a mesh network to support fat (female bodies are MUCH more hardy in times of stress) and it can present as delightfully lumpy. More than 90% of women have visible cellulite, but all women store fat in this manner.

why did no one tell me this?!

You know why

Spread this. I only just started to see mine and I started to freak out a bit. More people should/need to know about this

Here’s an illustration of the aforementioned difference in fat storage.

Men’s lattice pattern collagen threads holds subcutaneous fat in a way that, when the skin expands because of the fat storage, it expands evenly. Women’s “pockets” expand unevenly when we accumulate fat, creating that orange peel effect. Our storage pattern means we can healthily store more fat than men. Like a woman with 25% body fat is average, a man with 25% body fat is chubby. Because of that, like OP said, women are hardier in times of stress or famine. It’s also one of the reasons why our bodies can survive pregnancy, which is a massive energy demand on our system.

And there’s absolutely NO “treatment” for cellulite that will work. They are all bullshit designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash. It’s a secondary sex characteristic, it’s perfectly normal and it’s not going away no matter what you do. Like I’m very lean myself and I work out 5~6 times a week, and I still have cellulite. Someone giving a woman shit for having cellulite is akin to giving her shit for having skin. It’s just a mixture of misogyny and corporate greed.

Love your lumpy skin, ladies. It means you are a badass surviving machine shaped by millenia of evolution.

I did not know this, and I pride myself on knowing shit like this.

I actually cried reading this oh man

• Freelance worker lives in huge, gorgeous house/apartment in expensive area despite never seeming to be working
• Characters work 8-5 office job with hour-long commute, but go to bed no earlier than midnight and get up in time for morning sex and long, leisurely cooked breakfasts every day
• Do these characters even have jobs?
• Single parent has way more communication with child’s teacher than is normal; leads to dating; administration somehow has no problem with this.
• “I know I could never afford this mansion, but it’s OK I inherited it.  No, paying property taxes isn’t difficult on my salary.  I don’t even know how much the place is worth.  Are property taxes a thing?”
• There are two levels of cooking skills:  gourmet food every time no recipe, and sets pot of boiling water on fire somehow.  No one is ever in between these two skill sets.  People on each level always end up dating each other.
• Despite the gourmet meals described needing like seven pots to cook, no one ever does dishes.
• Character shares a bottle of wine with their date (2 and half glasses each), and they both get falling-down drunk.
• Later, one of them drinks an entire bottle of whiskey by themselves and does not die.

Oh my god

I commissioned a past life reading with Nami and was blown away with the results! She emailed me a description of the spread including pictures and a detailed explanation of each card drawn. The entire reading resonates so much with this current lifetime and it’s clear that Nami is a very experienced reader. Her attention to detail and thorough explanations went above and beyond my expectations and I highly recommend her to those looking for a skilled reader. 

Thank you so much, Nami! I can’t wait to see what my next reading with you reveals!

please dont ask anyone out as a joke or a dare on valentines day that isnt funny 

It is cruel. I use to be asked out as jokes in high school, easy to tell it was jokes because the guys doing it would always have shit eating grins and their friends snickering. None the less it made me realize at that time in my life I was seen as a joke. Don’t do it.

“Imagine having a child that refuses to hug you or even look you in the eyes”

Imagine being shamed, as a child, for not showing affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being forced, as a child, to show affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being told, as a child, that your ways of expressing affection weren’t good enough. Imagine being taught, as a child, to associate physical affection with pain and coercion.

As a preschool special ed para, this is very important to me. All my kids have their own ways of showing affection that are just as meaningful to them as a hug or eye contact is to you or me. 

One gently squeezes my hand between both of his palms as he says “squish.” I reciprocate. When he looks like he’s feeling sad or lost, I ask if I can squish him, and he will show me where I can squish him. Sometimes it’s almost like a hug, but most of the time, it’s just a hand or an arm I press between my palms. Then he squishes my hand in return, says “squish,” and moves on. He will come ask for squishes now, when he recognizes that he needs them.

Another boy smiles and sticks his chin out at me, and if he’s really excited, he’ll lean his whole body toward me. The first time he finally won a game at circle time, he got so excited he even ran over and bumped chins with me. He now does it when he sees me outside of school too. I stick out my chin to acknowledge him, and he grins and runs over and I lean down for a chin bump.

Yet another child swings my hand really fast. At a time when another child would be seeking a hug, she stands beside me and holds my hand, and swings it back and forth, with a smile if I’m lucky. The look on her face when I initiate the hand swinging is priceless.

Another one bumps his hip against mine when he walks by in the hallway or on the playground, or when he gets up after I’m done working with him. No eye contact, no words, but he goes out of his way to “crash” into me, and I tell him that it’s good to see him. He now loves to crash into me when I’m least expecting it. He doesn’t want anything, really. Just a bump to say “Hi, I appreciate you’re here.” And when he’s upset and we have to take a break, I’ll bump him, ask if he needs to take a walk, and we just go wander for a bit and discuss whatever’s wrong, and he’s practically glued to my side. Then one more bump before we go back into the room to face the problem.

Moral of the story is, alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as traditional affection. Reciprocating alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as returning a hug. That is how you build connections with these children. 

I just . . this is amazing, and wonderful, and should be posted everywhere where there are people and shown to everyone who thinks there is one way to show affection – by eye contact or hug.

choking on water is the worst because how do you stop choking? drink something? well ive got some bad news for you

Lean your head forward, preferably to knee level, and let the water kind of drain out of your mouth. When your are able to, take deep slow breaths. No heimlich maneuver or physical assists from somebody else should be used beyond this, otherwise you could vomit and escalate the issue. Its about keeping the larynx open. Hopefully this helps.
