ah yes, tumblr is “banning porn”, you know, “““porn”““, like that one time they had their bots tag basically all lesbian and trans blogs as ““““““porn”““““. i truly trust the clowns who run this website to not literally fuck this up in the most heinous way imaginable while desperately begging for apple to restore their shitty app
He paid people to hold a sign that said antisemitic shit without them knowing what it really meant and that he has said some absolutely awful shit himself and yall still doing this huh
Boy, I regret unsubbing from these people less every time I hear about them.
Wow, I mean I’m glad I got out of those fandoms cause they must be feeling so embarrassed right now.

This idea of sharing your body/head with another creature that’s on your side and actually cares about your wellbeing– and that sometimes you can just tap out and it’ll take over for you. I don’t care if it’s an alien symbiote or a demon or the ghost of a dead pharaoh or whatever, the concept tends to stay the same, as long as that other being decides that they like you and they want you to be happy and in good health.
Those times when you’re just so tired and you know there are things that you Need To Do but you know if you push yourself any harder today you’re going to fucking break down? Just hand the joystick to your buddy and let them do their thing while you disassociate for a while.
Get caught in a depression or anxiety spiral that you can’t get out of? No need to worry, you’ve got a bunkmate inside your head who is aware of the situation, and they’re louder and more persistent than the other voices in your head.
Pining for your ex? Good thing you’ve got a second opinion right there in your head telling you that it’s not a good idea and they don’t deserve you anyway.
Second-guessing what you wrote in that email to that very important person? Guess who you can ask about it.
Scared of walking alone outside for fear that something bad could happen?

It’s just something that really appeals to me, you know?
This!
That’s a really good way of articulating this concept I’ve grown fond of through Greed and Ling from FMA and now Venom in the recent movie; and Benevolent Possession is a really good name for it.
@ all my writer friends – oh look it’s that trope we all keep doing!
