Important. this has gone far enough. believe me when i say that our intentions for this blog were never negative. those who got called out saw it that way, and that makes sense. nobody likes to be corrected. that’s just how people are.

but the threats, the lies, the accusations, the personal attacks to the point where all the mods have reached a breaking point? that needs to stop. those of you who say we believe we can never be wrong obviously do not know us. on our blogs, and occasionally on here, we do get called out for using language or performing actions that our followers find offensive, and we do apologize for it. i didn’t want to abandon this blog. it was supposed to be a very good thing. i wanted everyone to be included, i really did. i wanted everyone to feel safe, because time and time again, i didn’t feel safe. none of my friends did. and this is the one place where we have the ability to feel safe. but our efforts brought us more threats, misgendering, stalkers, hate and slurs than we had ever gotten before. so we have chosen to shut down the blog. we are not deleting it, but we will no longer be posting here. it will serve as an archive. which is what i wanted it to be in the first place anyway, before we got swarmed with threats. everyone on every side has made mistakes. thinking this fandom would welcome change; that was my mistake. and for that, i am sorry. maybe in the future we can come back, but it’s out of the question for now. thank you to all of those who supported us. -mod vade May 20, 2014 (share) $40

Anonymous asked: so do you guys ever actually play the game? i don't want this to sound too rude but it really feels like you guys don't even play the game :/ i guess this is another thing i need to add to the FAQ since we get asked this so often (it really doesn’t even matter). yes, we play the game. not super often, like i used to, but we do play it. - mod vade May 20, 2014 (share) $1

I’ve changed the theme and made it look snazzy. Come look! Also another reminder to read the FAQ before sending in asks, since we’ll be opening the ask box too. -Mod Aura May 20, 2014 (share)

hey everyone! we’re tweaking the theme right now, so that’s why everything looks a little wonky. we’ll be re-opening once everything is settled. some changes:



- new theme, obviously. not for any particular reason. - i created an FAQ and combined it with the Mods page, so when it’s available, please be sure to read it. it will make what we do a lot easier when we don’t get the same asks over and over again. - speaking of mods, we are down to two of them now: aura and i. roe chose to leave for personal reasons and we are okay with that. personal life and health comes first (which is why this blog was on hiatus in the first place). i spoke with aura and we’ve chosen to not recruit another mod, at least for now, so please don’t ask to join. i think that’s about it. i’ll re-open the ask box once both aura and i are ready. - mod vade May 20, 2014 (share) $2

small hiatus so due to the recent influx of hate and false accusations, we are taking a short break from this blog. just a couple of days or so. in the meantime i’ll work on remodeling the blog a bit, adding an FAQ, discussing things with the mods, basically anything that we feel needs to be done. we will be shutting the ask box off, but submit will still be open if you have screenshots or any other kind of evidence you want to share. we won’t post any of it till the hiatus is over. do not try to send asks through the submit or we’ll just shut everything off. if you have questions regarding the blog you can always ask our personals. see you in a few days. - mod vade May 16, 2014 (share) $1



Anonymous asked: Um I think that maz-z is correct about using the term "special snowflake", it's actually a sarcastic term used to point out when someone thinks they're better than everyone else? Can you give actual solid examples where it's been used in an ableist manner? because otherwise I think it was really uncalled for and totally illogical... Hi, I’m a disabled person and if you’re not, you don’t have any room to argue with what we say is ableist. Not saying that’s what you’re implying or anything, just making sure you and anybody else who reads this understands that. Vade explained it great here! -Mod Aura May 16, 2014 (share) $10

Anonymous asked: I realize this blog isn't really violating any community guidelines as far as I can see, but why would you single out people to avoid them? D: because i am an angry creature and i do not like it when bad people get positive attention. - mod vade May 16, 2014 (share) $2
