“Don’t want the Board to watch,” Darling explains, not without an edge of embarrassment. “I mean, can you imagine if this --” he gestures to the small space between them-- “showed up on their minutes? I’d be-- mortified , is the word.”
Trench stares at him. It takes him a moment to find the coherency to respond.
“I’m sure,” he manages to say, “they wouldn’t mind extracurricular activities.”
a scene from my trench/darling fic, "minutes of the meeting" <3 i may not have finished the game yet but i am utterly enamored with darling and trench's dynamic of the bureau's golden child and his handler υ´• ﻌ •`υ

From the Chronic'art interview I'm working on- as always our ICONIC duo offers different perspectives.
Q: Why the pyramid for the Alive 2006/2007 shows?
Thomas: The pyramid has become a symbol because, geometrically, harmonically, it’s a magical, occult, mysterious object. There is also this mysterious and occult, on the verge of paranormal, power in music. No one can really theorize about the effects of music on the body and mind, so it’s incredible. We just try to pass on that magic in a rather empirical way.
Guy-Man: We put a pyramid on stage because we think it’s cool, and it makes everyone trip out.

Here's Clover's advice for the day: block for any reason.
Break your DNI? Block
Make you even a little uncomfortable? Block
You disagree on something that, maybe your generally ok with disagreers, but they seem extreme or it comes up often? Block
Seem annoying? Block
Claims to be supportive/unsupportive of something but suspicious/reblogs dog whistles n shit? Block
Constantly dming you and you didn't sign up for that? Block
Doesn't respect your boundaries? Block
Not blank blog but has no views or anyway to tell if they break your DNI? Block
Mutuals with someone who breaks your DNI? Block
Constantly passive aggressive to others they dislike, even if it's not towards you? Block
Overly aggressive/violent towards those who are on both your dnis? Block
Immature to a degree that's just silently pissing you off? Block
Lies to you, even if it's innocuous? Block
Neutral on an issue that either has no moral neutral stance/shows compliance with serious issues/you feel strongly about it? Block
Have an extreme view of something you agree with but they support aspects you don't? Block
Seem chronically online and your not with that hyper vigilant crap? Block
Not getting your social signals that one or two dms/asks is not a contract for 6 to 10 to 50 a day? Block
They seem fine but their vibes are atrocious? Block
Wether you've been friends/mutuals for 6 days, 6 months or 6 years, you don't owe someone your space and content. Your blog is your space, you make it what it is, you decide what's on it. DNI violation and personal harassment is not the only valid reason to block someone. If you find yourself waiting and searching for a reason to block someone, just waiting for them to slip up again, just block them and be done with it. One small reason is reason enough. One suspicion is reason enough.
I've blocked people for supporting the same shit I have but being annoying or performative about it. I've blocked people cause I found one word on their whole blog thats only used by proshippers. I've blocked people for being part of a fandom I know is toxic and them showing signs of being on the toxic side. Any small reason is enough and you don't owe that person "the chance to change/prove themselves". Not on the Internet. This isnt a parent or long time irl friend, this could be a person you dm daily or a person who liked a single one of your posts.
I'm tired of the social expectation that I should have at least 3 reasons to be able to block someone or a clear violation of boundaries. If you have bad vibes, I don't have to let you prove yourself or interact with me or my content. Yeah, it's nice to have the reasons but you don't have to have them. This applies to even irl interactions. So much weird shit I've been argued with about on places like tiktok or twitter have been benefited from me just saying, quoting a popular post from here " your either not having this convo in good faith or your world view is so warped from reality that there are days worth of things you'd have to unlearn for us to understand each other. This is pointless so it is here we must part" and a swift block in the ass.
Yeah, socially it's nice to keep contact with that one ex-coworker who never seemed to understand you two aren't friends, just acquaintances but the reality is there is no actual reason to keep that contact. That doesn't excuse yelling at them or insulting them or anything but they aren't entitled to your time and attention. Your not friends, slowly but gracefully, cut them off. Online people are not any different. I don't owe you conversation or attention or anything other than basic human respect. I also owe myself respect and if your constantly disrespecting me, even if unintentionally, I have the right to enact the consequences and block.
Idk why this is so controversial? Is it the 'tism??

The fact that I could spot my vote immediately is hilarious to me. Really interesting the see the difference between two entirely different subject pools though!
yeah, i've had a sibling take it and they knew exactly which one was theirs. urs is calling to u
and the groups are very different! i knew that there would be some non-representative factors with such a small sample size, but i kinda forgor that psych students have a bit too much empathy to like seeing people in pain so all my sadism results were wayyy too low to be representative. so i came here and now my stuff is much more even. i wonder if the psych group really is so non-sadist and (sort of) non-masochistic (they are more partial to masochism but not nearly as much as the tumblr group) or if it's bc my questions were so face-valid and there's a stigma around sadism and masochism, esp bc some psych students have a bit of a purity/need to be morally right/etc complex. which i think could be fair. i talked to someone about it and they told me that maybe they're normal but ehhhh could be could not who knows
