"That Old Black Magic" by @bixgirl1 🖤✨

And I present to you guys my last binder/artist collab this year! A trilogy of collabs with amazing friends to say goodbye to 2025, yeah! 🥹

Months ago, when I first read this fic, I came up with the idea of portraying them in that old royal-portrait style, because it fits the vibes of the story so perfectly. When I told Micca about it, they immediately jumped in, and now WE HAVE OUR FIRST CHILD TOGETHER, MADE WITH LOVE!!!

I had so much fun drawing all the little frames I used for the typeset and working on the typeset as a whole! And the beautiful cover art was exactly what I had imagined! Thank you so much for collaborating with me and drawing our favorite dramatic idiots for our bind, my dear friend @sunmimir! You're an amazing person, and a wonderful friend ❤️

Why are people like this ❤😭❤😭❤😭😭❤😭❤😭❤ Idek what to say.

“Quick! make the lesbian character say ‘I like dick’ and then pan over to Mike and Will’s reactions”

hey. you’re gonna get through this. you are.

Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

“I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn’t do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What’s that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-”

This is also the fantasy behind all those old bodice-ripper romances that people today like to mock or call problematic, by the way.

“Oh, my next forty years are going to consist of nothing but washing dishes and keeping house and bearing children for the disdainful man I married right out of high school because my parents said college was for men and I had no other obvious life path open to me? What if a pirate captain thought I was worth stealing away from it all? [what if I ran away but no-one could blame me for leaving]?”

#I read an article a long time ago about a woman who was raised in an incredibly repressive conservative christian community#where all that mattered was purity and virginity etc #She talked about how for a long time rape fantasies were the only way she could derive any pleasure from sex #because she couldn’t feel safe exploring the idea of wanting sex #it wasn’t really ABOUT rape or eroticizing assault or whatever #it was about creating a scenario where she was free from the shame associated with wanting #i think this is true of a lot of icky-seeming stuff in romance and erotica #it’s an imaginary scenario where nothing you don’t really want actually happens #but you can’t be blamed or feel guilty for it #you didn’t do anything wrong#anyway that article changed my perspective a lot #i think there’s also something to be said for people who have felt ugly and undesirable their whole lives #enjoying fictional scenarios where a hot alpha werewolf or whatever is so attracted to them he ‘cant help himself’ or whatever #because it can also be really shameful to want to be desired #when you feel like youre ugly and gross ( @headspace-hotel )

I will go into mourning if/when Tumblr is gone. So help me I have both whiled away time here so my brain can rest and I have had my brain rewired with what I learn here. Like now. With this.

I love you all, you wonders who share what you know, what you experience, your humanity and your empathy, I love you.

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

i miss it when movies let you figure out shit on your own without excessive exposition

like for example in ocean’s eleven they don’t tell you these guys are gay they let you figure it out

as per my last straw,

i love this new gen of pop stars so much

an absolutely humungous update they just keep getting better

I think this needs an important addendum:

Not only did Billie Eilish donate $11.5M, she also called out a room full of billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, directly to their faces, saying "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties."

The $11.5M she's donating is about 1/4 if her net worth. Imagine if a billionaire did that? If Mark Zuckerberg donated 1/4 of his net worth, it would be about $55 BILLION... and he's still have over $100 billion left.

And, yet, unsurprisingly, people are mad at Billie Eilish for what she said and not at the billionaires for hoarding all the money and resources

When did we decide that in all fanfiction Draco Malfoy will be some sort of sex god? Are we looking at the same dork right now? He probably gets flustered from handholding. Let’s be real, Harry’s the one with the skill.

Draco being awkward af is life affirming. Lol

#shy draco#you want to whaaat??#im sorry i was taught that mouth-pressing was only for marrieds#*YOU WANT TO PUT WHAT WHERE?!?*#…Im not even sure marrieds are allowed to do that#….yes#…it does sound fun#my bits are responding strangely to this conversation#all right we can do mouth pressing
