This serves as a home for my special interests and any other interests and miscellaneous personal posts and vents. I post and reblog a lot of things containing horror, gore, sexual content, and generally dark and heavy content. Tagging is often inconsistent, so follow at your own discretion.
Dms are always open (I am just incredibly socially anxious. Be patient with me.)
i do want to say, the pope dying is not Good. like haha on easter, we hate the churches and religion, but pope francis made real change within the church. he cared. he was willing to listen.
the next pope will hopefully be better, but there is a very real, very imminent chance that the next pope will turn back everything pope francis stood for. the next pope could very very well be a an extreme right leaning pope.
He was shockingly progressive in an incredibly conservative institution. Of course he wasn’t perfect but he was committed to compassion far more than previous popes who prioritized dogma over all else. He took action on sex abuse scandals, considered women becoming deacons, and was not as violently homophobic as past church leaders. He also turned down many of the opulent trappings of his office. And he had the balls to tell conservative American Catholics they were wrong and not behaving in a Christian manner. His actions may seem small to people not super familiar with the Catholic church, but as someone who has Catholic family members (my dad was raised Catholic and left) it was very exciting to see someone even remotely open to change. I hope he told JD Vance he was a shitty Catholic before he died. I truly hope the next pope is at least as compassionate and humble as Pope Francis.
It’s so nice being on tumblr because you don’t even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you’re good at rebloging posts they like
A friend and I were discussing what we’re like when we’re sick and we decided people usually fall into one of these five 'sick modes’: *Everyone is probably multiple of these at different times depending on how sick they are and with what but we think most people have a mode they default to and become more often than the others*
Delicate Consumptive Victorian: you feel tragic and mournful but also beautiful in a sad way, you are in bed, sipping hot tea, others should quietly whisper about how you are too good for this world, too beautiful, too tragic… And bring you more tea
Sick Dog: you are curled up in a ball, you don’t want anything, you don’t need anything, but it would be nice if others could still ask you if you need anything
Sickly Child Emperor: you are dying and it’s everyone else’s problem, you need pillows, no! you need soup, no! You need absolute silence or you will not be the first one to die today
Plague Pit: you are curled up probably on the floor, no one touch you, no one look at you, this is between you and God and you already know He has no mercy left for you
Warrior General: you are not sick. You are in perfect health and you don’t know why anyone would think otherwise. Illness is an enemy that can be intimidated and you must remain strong for your men! (You are going to pass out at the most inconvenient moment possible)
