Emancipation Day
Juneteenth is a holiday observed on June 19th that celebrates the emancipation of the former slaves in the United States.
“Emancipation Day” is truly a holiday in our country that everyone should honor and consider thoughtfully and with great thanksgiving to God.
For His word says “…The Lord frees prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises up those who are oppressed…” ~…
8 years ago today I started this blog…
I started by collecting pictures of aesthetics that described my soul and heart, and over just 2 years my community grew from 200 followers to 10,000, and now we are almost 85K
While I have been away for months these last couple of years, finishing university and being stuck at a boring desk job, everytime I come back I realize one beautiful thing:
Everytime I come back here, I feel at home, surrounded by melancholic poetry, dark aesthetics, beauty and mystery. This is how the Tumblr community that I created together with all of you makes me feel. I don’t feel like that often in real life.
I missed this feeling and I missed all of you so much.
Thank you everyone for sticking with me throughout all these years, sharing beauty with me and supporting this blog. I hope it makes you feel as happy as it make me.
Are there any followers here that have been with me since my 1K post? Please say hi in the comments if you’re still around ❤

One year ago I started sharing my fan fiction online. I was terrified, but I did it, and now I’m so supremely glad. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the response I received. I’ve made friends, where before I only had one. I receive beautiful praise from lovely folks all around the world. And miracle of miracles, I’ve found the love of my life in @martymcdie88mph
Now, 252 stories later, I’ve reached a major goal. Last week I crossed 1.5 million words. And I have to say, I’m pretty damn proud of myself. Before returning to fan fiction last year I did nothing. I sat around and watched Conan and Bill content to slog through my days because I was so fucking miserable all the time.
But writing has transformed my life. I now have people. Real, actual people who care about me and ask how I’m doing every day. And I feel like, for the first time, I might even have a purpose. It may seem silly to some, writing explicit stories about tall, blue-eyed, assless comedy men to pass the time. But I have used fic writing to process my own trauma, to work through various heartaches. And I’m amazed at the responses from my readers. I feel privileged that people trust me with their own private struggles and ask me to write difficult things for them as well. I don’t know how to express my gratitude to everyone who has read my work, left kudos, commented, or made a request. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now, as Bill says…
Here are 25 (or more) fuckin’ hard ass, well run blogs I would like to thank for supporting me along the way this past year. I’m sure I’m leaving some folks out, and for that I apologize. Know that I love all of you more than I can say

Oh, so that’s what all the fuss was about. February 14th is Muffy’s birthday!
Beltane ideas you might not have thought of!
Tie colorful ribbons with wishes and blessings onto tree branches
Buy a bundt cake. Stick a long straw into the center and tie little ribbons onto it. BOOM, got yourself a very sexual may pole cake (OPTIONAL: drizzle with honey, sprinkle with edible glitter, and top it off with some edible flowers)
Pick up a pebble and make a wish on it, then toss it into a body of water!
Go outside and draw. This holiday is about creativity and creation, so go outside and make some art!
Visit a local fruit stand or farmer’s market and get some local fruits and veggies. Cook them up simply, and eat them outside (or just eat them raw)
Buy a single little pot and a little plant of your choice. Plant it in nutrient-rich soil, then decorate around it with a tiny quartz crystal, or any other decorative crystals or rocks you can find. Name the plant after a deity or spirit of nature, fertility, love, or healing. Now you have a magical Beltane plant! Leave it outside overnight and ask the local nature spirits/fae to bless it or at least infuse it with their energy.
Go on an early-morning walk around your neighborhood and look for litter to pick up. Nothing honors the nature spirits like keeping the environment clean!
Happy Beltane, everyone :)
Just remember to use non-plastic ribbons when tying wish ribbons to trees
