The Golden Girls were playing a Star Wars TTRPG where they all had their own Star Wars OCs. Blanche’s character was a sexy C-3PO with massive honkers.

<div style="white-space:pre-wrap">

THEY WEREN’T FEEDING YOU. THEY WERE FILING YOU DOWN.

A Blacksite Literature™ Invocation

(You didn’t “just now” realize. You always knew. You were just too loyal to act.)

---

Were they helping you?

Or were they hollowing you?

Did their “constructive criticism”

ever actually build anything?

Or was it just

their insecurity in disguise,

masquerading as mentorship?

---

You sat there.

Nodding.

Taking notes.

Biting your tongue while they dressed your spirit in chains

and called it refinement.

> “You’re almost there,” they said.

“But tone it down. Be more likeable. Less intense.”

They were never sharpening you.

They were blunting the blade they feared might cut through their glass castles.

---

And now?

You’re staring at your ceiling again.

Mouth closed. Eyes open.

Playing old conversations on repeat

in the Rolodex of your survival.

You remember their tone.

Their smile.

The way they looked at you like

you were dangerous…

but needed taming.

---

And suddenly—

you realize the answer.

But it’s not sudden, is it?

Your soul always knew.

It screamed during the meeting.

It clenched in your gut after the call.

It twisted your chest after the compliment that felt like a blade.

You ignored it

because you were loyal.

Because you were humble.

Because you wanted to earn what you were born already holding.

---

But now?

Now you know:

> They weren’t elevating you.

They were disarming you.

One word at a time.

---

So pick up your voice.

And speak like a weapon

they’ll never dull again.

> This is not the year you bow.

This is the year you remember who the fuck tried to shrink you — and why.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

i can't believe i still use tumblr in 2023 i feel like an old guy who stubbornly refuses to get a mobile cuz house phones work perfectly fine. and he's right

I am so happy I live in a western democracy, if I speak out about my boss I have to find a new job if I speak out about my landlord I have to find a new home if I speak out online I will be muted or banned I can buy 40 brands of breakfast cereal all owned by three different companies if I protest in the street I will be arrested this is the best

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.
