friendly-neighborhood-patriarch:
the crows are his allies now.
“THE DEBT MUST BE REPAID. YOU HAVE OUR ALLEGIANCE, HUMAN”
That’s actually how it works.
Crows: smart enough to not only remember but convey to their buddies which humans were nice to them that one time and which were jerks, but dumb enough to get their heads stuck in fences, apparently.
There are humans who manage to get their dicks stuck in toasters I really don’t think we get to judge

Some aphobes have been on tumblr so long that they can’t speak any language other than discourse
Okay I’ve been looking through their blogs for less than an hour and I’ve already seen:
- An aphobe claiming “corrective rape” is a lesbian only term and trans victims of it should use “homophobic rape” instead. Trans victims.
- The aces copied the agender flag. Even though they look nothing alike. And the asexual flag was made years before the agender one.
- Someone arguing asexuality is a white supremacist concept
- A trans man only wanting to date bi/pan girls = lesbophobia
- An inclusionist said they didn’t know another blogger but aphobes are arguing they do
- Allo aphobes arguing with aces over the definition of asexuality
- “Ace rings are homophobic because gay people can’t get married”
- Someone claiming asexuals stole dragons from children

“May I hug you?”
“When I ask you if you want to do something, you know it’s always okay to say no, right?”
“Let me know if you get uncomfortable, okay?”
“How do you feel about (x activity)?”
“I’m disappointed, of course, but I’m really glad you were willing to tell me (no/that you were uncomfortable/etc.). Thank you.”
“I care about you, so when something I do hurts you or makes you uncomfortable, I want to know, because I don’t like making you feel bad.”
“Wanna do (x)? It’s okay if not, but I think it would be (fun/worthwhile/prudent).”
(When starting a social phone call): “Hey, are you busy right now?”
(When confirming plans made earlier): “Hey, are you still up for doing (x) at (time) on (day)?”
“Can I vent a little about (x)?”
“Can I tell you something (gross/depressing)?”
“Are you comfortable talking about it?”
“Do you think you could talk me through this problem I’ve been having? If you have the time and emotional energy of course.”
“It’s okay if that doesn’t work for you.”
“I’m interested in spending more time with you. Would you be interested in doing (x) together on (y day)?”
“No? Well let me know if you ever want to do something else.” (leave it open! don’t nag! let it go!)
Consent culture - it’s about way more than just sex!
Give people as much freedom as possible to make their own choices without pressure or control.
Even children deserve as much autonomy as allows them to remain safe and get their needs met - remember, you can’t train a child to make good/safe/healthy choices without ever giving them choices. A child who is taught to respect consent is a child who doesn’t assault people! A child who knows they have a right to say no is a child who knows that someone who infringes on their autonomy isn’t supposed to do that.
A consent-conscious relationship is a healthier and safer relationship, and a person who is aware of and deliberate about asking for, giving, receiving, refusing, and being refused consent is a healthier and safer person.
