This is why my betrayal was so terrible. Because you believed me incapable of hurting you, and yet I did.

@sanktalina‘s edit exchange; for @pvreheroines; happy valentine’s day (and birthday!)

P️lease don’t ignore this post

Hi guys, me and my family are financially struggling. We can’t afford anything right now and we already sold most of our personal stuff but we’re stuck in the same situation and I’m currently unemployed. I know this is annoying but please if you could donate something it would mean the world to us, if you can’t please boost this post.

I don’t have venmo or cashapp, they don’t work internationally.

She…hoped. And hope was dangerous. Hope was the most vicious evil of them all, the thing that had managed to thrive in Pandora’s box among misery, and disease, and sadness—and what could endure alongside others with such teeth if it didn’t have ghastly claws of its own?

❝ Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood.

     If you’re reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life.

     Being a half-blood is dangerous. It’s scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. ❞

@librarysource​ event i: favourite book romances  — andrew minyard and neil josten (insp.)

andrew didn’t budge beneath his weight. he was something solid to lean against, something violent and fierce and unmoving. neil couldn’t remember what it felt like to have someone hold him up. it was terrifying and liberating all at once.

a year ago neil had been a scared nobody, hating himself for signing the foxes’ contract and counting down days until he moved in with wymack. tonight he was the starting striker for the first-ranked team in the NCAA. in two years he’d be captain, and in four he’d graduate from palmetto state. neil would find a professional team first and then fight tooth and nail to make the cut for court. neil could already imagine the weight of an olympics medal around his neck. he didn’t even care what color it was so long as it was his.

better than that bright future was what he already had: a court that would always be home, a family who’d never give up on him, and andrew, who for once hadn’t wasted their time denying that this thing between them might actually mean something to both of them. neil hadn’t even noticed the silence at first, too distracted by his dizzying thoughts. now he couldn’t help but smile and pull andrew in.

this was everything he wanted, everything he needed, and neil was never letting go.

THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRACY WANTS TO STOP MUSLIM GIRLS FROM STUDYING

In the last week, three government colleges in the state of Karnataka refused entry to muslim girls because they were wearing hijabs.

Karnataka is ruled by the BJP, just a fyi

The girls were allowed to enter the premises yesterday BUT were seated in a separate room. OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION.

In response the whole incident, hindu students showed up wearing saffron shawls and protesting against the muslim girls' right to wear hijab.

Imagine turning against your own friends and classmates, the people you studied, played and legit grew up with. Sickening and Disgusting.

I'll leave this here, because we recently observed the Holocaust Remembrance Day.

IDRISNNET'S GET TO KNOW THE MEMBERS: bella

In all honesty, Christopher had no idea why he’d volunteered to watch Grace overnight. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for her. Perhaps it was because of pity, but he’d be lying if he said that she didn’t intrigue him.

She sat on the floor, her head buried in her hands. She hadn’t said anything to him or the rest of the Merry Thieves since James had told them to watch her in case she “tried anything.”

Christopher wasn’t fully aware of what had happened between James and Grace, but he knew better than to ask questions.

“Can I get you anything?” Christopher asked her. “Perhaps some tea?”

Her voice was muffled by her hands, and he struggled to hear her. “You shouldn’t be offering your prisoner tea, Mr. Lightwood.”

“You’re not a prisoner.”

She pulled her head out of her hands and laughed, and the sound sent a shiver down his spine. Her eyes darted across the room, looking at anything but him. “What would you call me, then? An unwilling guest? I’m trapped here, and you’re trapped with me.”

“I don’t feel so trapped,” he said. “And you shouldn’t, either.”

“And why is that? Does a criminal deserve to feel free?”

“You’re not a criminal, Miss Blackthorn.”

She winced at her surname. “Please, just call me Grace.”

“You are not a criminal, Grace. You did what you had to do in order to survive. Any of us would have done the same if we were put into your situation. It isn’t right of us to blame you for that.”

She sighed, curling in on herself further. Her voice was barely audible. “Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m not quite sure your friends feel the same way.”

“It doesn’t matter what they think,” Christopher said. “It just matters what the clave will think.”

“Don’t even get me started on what the clave is going to think. They may have been the ones to get me into this mess, but they would never get me out of it.”

“What do you mean? The clave— the clave can help you.”

She laughed bitterly. “They can. But they won’t. Do you truly think they’ll sympathize with the accomplice of a prince of hell?”

“Unwilling accomplice,” Christopher insisted. “That’s what you were. And the Mortal Sword will prove it. And then they’ll have to help you. My aunt Charlotte—“

“If you think she’ll go easy on me, you’re sadly mistaken. She’s not my aunt. To me, she’s just the Consul.”

He stood from his seat, crossing the room to sit next to Grace on the floor. “We will get you through this,” he whispered. “I promise you.”

She sat up, but she didn’t turn to look at him. “Don’t make promises you have no intention of keeping, Mr Lightwood.”

“Just Christopher, please. And I’ve every intention of keeping this promise.”

She froze, making eye contact with him for the first time that night. “I appreciate it, I really do, but I’m afraid you won’t have much of a say in the matter.”

Christopher didn’t know how to respond to that. In the eyes of the clave, he was just a teenager, with no power, no ability to do anything to help Grace. But he’d be damned if he didn’t try.

@sanktalina’s edit exchange; for @jostensminyards ↳ THE HUNGER GAMES by SUZANNE COLLINS

@paletmblr event viii: scenery

blue scenery in eternals

hi everyone !

i'm lucie (@ pvreheroines) and for the past year(ish) i've encountered, endured and come out the other end of the shadowhunter chronicles fandom. i'm making this post on my second account because i don't want to be reminded of all of this all the time on my main because of social anxiety.

before i proceed with this post, i don't want you to send hate to me because of it. this is my opinion that i am allowed to share, and i've encountered enough people who have gone through some similar experiences (of whose names i shall not disclose) to feel confident in sharing my experience.

if problematic people are allowed to share triggering and offensive content, then i feel that it is well within my rights to create a post that highlights it. if you decide to send hate to me as a result, you are merely sinking to their level.

as well as this, some language or experiences may be triggering to some (tw acephobia, homophobia, transphobia, whitewashing)

KEY:

bolded = important/relevant segments

indented = main point of the paragraph

red bolded = triggering content

-----

initially, the tsc fandom was a fun experience for me, but as time moved on, i had some incredibly negative experiences, including anonymous hate, rude users and dealing with relentless negative discourse in the fandom.

the first and main one that i encountered was that of user rinadragomir, of whom this post will be centered around.

despite rina being a good friend to me in the beginning, as time moved on, rina became slightly aggressive and rude towards myself. i didn't really think of it that much initially, as i had left tumblr for a month long period of time and thought it may have been from that, but as time progressed, and i began to make edits, i noticed that rina kept unfollowing me, and every time i notified her, she'd act like it was a mistake (something i didn't realise until later). eventually, it went to the point she ignored my asks, messages and mentions. and i began to see i wasn't the only one.

as i began to test the waters a bit more, trying harder to get a response, i began to notice some things that she did:

- rina will only answer asks that praise her or compliment her or that relate to things that she takes interest in.

- her language is offensive and problematic and sometimes triggering, including the use of 'faggot' in a post about matthew fairchild, a bisexual character.

- people who rina feels threatened by will be blocked for no good reason, of which rina tried to cover during one circumstance by saying that those people whom she blocks continuously go on rants about characters and books, which, in my opinion, is a weak defense and not at all true.

- rina will try and force the centre of attention to her in a forceful manner that many find confrontational and way too dramatic.

- she defended problematic topics that she could not have a full insight of, such as the white washing of cordelia carstairs, a persian woc, in which she spectacularly messed up and showed her true colours by defending the racism.

personally, i found this behaviour offensive to myself, as well as some of the matters (although some had not yet occurred) and did not continue to try and contact her and decided it best to block rina in return to avoid the drama as much as i could.

after contacting other users, i found that it was not an isolated incident, and that others had experienced similar things where rina had blocked them for calling her out, or had ignored them for no good reason.

below are some screenshots, which i'll detail.

after a conversation with friends, it became clear three of us had been blocked before. as time moved on, and that group grew, we found almost all of us had been blocked for no apparent reason, even if they had been close to rina and had talked to her, she had still blocked them for weeks at a time. we were all appalled at the childish reaction of it all and the immaturity in the action by choosing to block others who might just be right or might just be better at editing that she was.

in her eyes, rina does not do anything wrong, and even though we all believe at some point that the words we say are perfectly accurate, we can still recognize where we have stuffed up and need to work on. for rina, she merely acts like it never happens and attacks you if you try and bring it up.

above, we see rina trying to justify why she blocks people after i sent a message asking why she blocked me about two days before this post was made.

despite being a bisexual woman, rina has displayed lgbtqphobic comments towards others. below is another example (tw acephobia, genderphobia)

we see here that rina is almost forcing her own opinions on others, saying that people of that age can not, essentially, know their sexuality by then. different generations experience different things, and some people do know who they are and how they feel sexual attraction or do not feel sexual attraction at that age sometimes.

as well as that, rina does not acknowledge that anna lightwood is a genderqueer character. while cassandra clare is problematic in her own rights, she has in fact, confirmed anna IS genderqueer, which makes rina's ignorance obvious and blatant.

below (tw f slur)

here we see rina using the f slur, and using it rather freely. no trigger warnings, no apologies, nothing. only after some people sent her asks that she did not post did she edit it, but the stain remains, and so does the problem from it.

the next major problem that relates to our first problem of blocking other tsc creators is rina copies other creators.

you can clearly see rina is copying the idea of what dani has done, almost saying the exact same phrase on her 5th dot point.

other instances include copying an edit style almost to the letter. this instance has occurred only once, where rina ended up deleting the post. still, it was seen, and people don't miss nor forget those sorts of things.

not long after i tried to contact rina about blocking me, i started adding a gradient text to my captions (i was still creating tsc edits at this time) and not long after, it was bought to my attention that rina was doing something similar.

yes, it's only text, but the sentiment remains; she blocked me - still has me blocked - doesn't respond and then copied something as small as that. and people see that; it's happened in a few instances where she'll copy things.

in the next point, we explore rina's disrespect of asian culture, particularly amongst chinese and korean faceclaims.

on multiple instances, rina uses korean singers as jem faceclaims, such as below:

where we see rina use taeyong, a south korean singer as a faceclaim for jem, a half chinese man.

as someone who is half chinese myself, this in particular gets under my skin because it is obvious that this is NOT a chinese man. mixing it up can be avoided and in my opinion, this is blatant ignorance to an obvious issue one may see in using these pictures and this particular faceclaim.

-----

to summarise, rina is one of many things that make the tsc fandom toxic, overwhelming and triggering. i've seen friends deactivate and leave because of the tsc fandom, i've seen people intimidated by behaviour such as rina's and people who have been hurt by it.

i'm glad i've made this post, but i'm also scared to make it, because i know that there are still people who will jump to rina's defence and ultimately go after me for it. but, i know people are just as fed up and i want this behaviour to be highlighted in red flashing lights that let people know what kind of person rina is, because bottom line, she's not a nice one. she treats people like shit, says fucked up things on matters that she should either stay out of or research before she inputs on them as well as gaslighting those who try to point out problematic things.

here are a few links below that explore the issues further than what i can take them here:

- rina defends cj along with a friend while ignoring the main theme of the issue, that being the whitewashing and overfeminisming of persian woc, cordelia carstairs | here.

- rina's take on the whitewashing of cordelia on another post | here.

- '13 year olds can't know they're ace at the age of 13' debate | here.

- calling matthew fairchild a f****t | here.

- the post that came after user youngreckless' post addressing the white washing and rina trying to defend her own words | here.

- rina includes a south asian singer as a faceclaim for half chinese jem | here.

- cc confirms anna IS genderqueer | here.

if you have anything else you want to add, please reblog it with links or screenshots. anything to help bring this behaviour to a stop.
