one of the frustrating things about being aro is that like. you can’t prove a negative. so when someone is all “but you might find romance someday!!” it’s like. yeah, okay, maybe. i can’t see the future. but listen. if my past behavior is any indicator, i shouldn’t be anywhere near romance. it is Not Fun, and i Don’t Like It. 

“but you might kill someone someday!!” yeah,okay, maybe

lmao you ARE a serial killer, really, you just haven’t met the Right Person yet

“Do you want to talk about it or be distracted from it” is honestly the best thing you can say to me when I say im sad/in pain etc.

this is really good advice to say to anyone who is upset

Hi everyone! With the recent wave of bad decisions from Tumblr and constant posts about shady stuff on other sites, this seems to be a good opportunity to throw another option into the rink.

https://waterfall.social

Waterfall is a tumblelog platform, built from the ground up. There are no gimmicks, or attempts to be unique - just a pure, familiar style, catered to artists, adult (and otherwise) bloggers, and… well, everyone really. Tumblr’s style is familiar - why ditch it? It just needs a little love to make it worth using.

There’s a robust, constantly evolving system to ensure that artists are credited for their work. If you upload art, and someone tries to upload it later? It’s automatically converted into a reblog of your original upload. Someone steals it anyway? See something that breaks the rules? Don’t worry - all reports are manually reviewed, we’ll set things right.

More importantly, there’s no company behind Waterfall. That means no corporate hammer saying what we can and can’t do; it’s just down to a few trusted volunteers to keep things running smoothly, all checking each other’s work to make sure nobody does anything uncool.

Here’s some more of what Waterfall either currently offers, or is on the roadmap for inclusion in the next few updates!

• Artist credit system.
  

• Send asks and like from sideblog.

• Seperate follow lists for sideblogs.

• Want to make a different blog your main? Go ahead!

• NSFW Content allowed.

• Manual (not algorithmic!) report reviewing.

• ZERO signup costs or waiting periods.
  

And more! The site is in heavy development, and we want to build a platform the way it should be, from the ground up. With that in mind, there’s a few things missing, or not working right yet - if you see one, or just have a neato suggestion, you’re more than welcome to join our Discord and suggest stuff. If you’re thinking of joining, go back up your Tumblr theme; we’ll be trying for 1:1 imports of them at a later date.

Our Terms of Service are here, our Privacy Policy here, and Community Guidelines here.

Still wondering why you should use Waterfall over other alternatives? Click here.

Hope to see you soon!

We just pushed some major updates, including the ability to post audio and video! More feature updates coming in the next few days.

We’ve also opened our ask box here so you can ask us questions. If you’d prefer not to ask publicly, there’s always IMs!

Shout out to people like me who have parents who are loving but are black holes of emotional labor… It took me a long time to realize that it’s okay to have mixed feelings about your parents, about your relationship with them.

Sometimes parents can love you but be somewhat toxic to you and your growth, and that’s a very hard realization to come to if you, like me, grew up extremely close to them.

Sometimes parents can love you genuinely but lack emotional maturity, forcing you to perform disproportionate amounts of emotional labor. Some parents manifest symptoms of their mental illness in ways that are toxic to your mental illness.

Some parents, like mine, try so hard to be good parents but fall back on habits of emotional manipulation because they haven’t processed their own traumas and are modeling behavior they grew up with. That doesn’t make their behavior acceptable, and it’s okay to feel exhausted and hurt when they betray you. You don’t have to forgive every mistake.

I want you to know that it’s okay to protect yourself, to need some space apart from them. The love you have for your parents is still valid, and you are making the right decision.

Placing a safe emotional distance between myself and my parents has been one of the most difficult, heartbreaking processes I’ve ever gone through… it hurts to try to curb the strength of your own natural empathy around people you love. It feels disingenuous to your heart’s natural state.

But I promise you, you are not hard-hearted or ungrateful, and you are not abandoning them. You are making a decision about your own emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

I know what it’s like in that confusing grey area of love mixed with guilt and anxiety, of exhaustion and quasi-manipulation and unreciprocated emotional labor, and I promise you, you are not alone.

Your mixed feelings about your parents are valid.

Thank you thank you thank you bless this post ohmygod thank you
