Let me hug this sad boy <3

Murder be thy name Murder be thy And let there be blood

When Julian parted from her, she thought he was going to try running away again and her heart panicked for a moment. It didn't happened. Instead, his hand gripped hers and he led her to the bed, managing to bring a discreet blush to her usually pale complexion, which worsened when she was pulled down to rest against the doctor. However, once his heartbeat reached her ears, everything calmed down and she melt at the sensation of his fingers combing through her hair. It was such a perfect moment she would have given everything she had to make it last for eternity. For once, they would have time to do all the things they couldn't, they would be free... Julian's voice brought her back from her reverie and she listened each of his words carefully, giving him her undivided attention. Lys never dared to interrupt him, not even believing how lucky she was to hear him pouring his heart out with such familiarity. Absentmindedly, her hand came to rest on his chest, caressing it lightly while  lending her ear to the man. However, she soon found herself under the doctor's gaze, his smile melting her heart. How could this man be real?  He may be a self-destructive fool but the apprentice loved him all the same. He was HER self-destructive fool and she would go at the ends of the earth with him, even if she had to steal him from Hell's grasp before. No one would be allowed to stand in between them. Lys wasn't a violent person and she always kept her magic under restrain not to risk hurting someone but if anyone touched her love... She would be merciless. A headache started to show up but was quickly forgotten when she raised her head to meet his lips in a chaste kiss, sweet and loving.

“If you want it so badly then do it. Spend the night with me and leave your worries at the door for the time being. Tomorrow is another day and we'll be able to worry together... But now, try to enjoy what you can have.”

A pale, slender hand brushed his cheek, venturing to his neck, tracing every detail of his skin as if discovering it for the first time. Maybe that wasn't totally wrong... Life hadn't left them much time to bask in each other's presence without being in potential danger. Tonight was a perfect opportunity to tell him everything she felt, to show this tall, dramatic man how loved and desired he really was.

“What do you say about that Julian? Do you want to steal this night for yourself instead of letting it to your doubts and regrets?”

Blue eyes watched him expectantly, full of both hope to spend time with him and fear of seeing him leave once more.  Leaving her behind was Asra's specialty, not Julian's... Right?... Unconsciously, Lys bit her lip, an old habit of hers when anxiety was starting to gnaw her insides.

Tears were staining Lysandre’s shirt as they fell from Julian’s eye. Unrestrained and raw, the act of self-deception was no longer effective in the presence of her soothing demeanor, feeling himself sink into her arms even further, craving her comfort and warmth to the core, it was made obvious from the manner in which he sulked and shook her body with sobbing until it did not hurt anymore. The grieving came to a sudden end and all that could be heard were the soft whines of a desperate man. Nobody else would ever see him like this but her, he wouldn’t open up to this extent even if his life was on the line. If not for her, he would have walked to his death the moment he set foot in this city once more, stupidly so. 

He knew every word she spoke was correct and that by being a scapegoat, he wouldn’t be helping anyone, much less her. This was his reasoning to at least share his mind with her, going against his own cruel and cold dogma of a man trained to feel nothing, to empathize with no one and to keep to himself. Such was the past of the impartial Doctor, whose only purpose was to find a cure for a dangerous illness - you could call it playing God. Maybe the time to face the music was now, with her, not on the gallows with a bunch of people who really wanted him dead.

A sigh and then a tight hug followed just before he parted from her sweet embrace, only to reach for her hand and lead her deeper into Asra’s shop, past the curtains and to the bed, his head turned away from her so she wouldn’t have to see him with a bloodshot eye, sore from bawling. Without courtesy, he simply plopped down onto it and pulled Lys down with him, making her rest her head on top of his chest so she wouldn’t yet see his face, stroking her hair with shaky, slender fingers. A soft voice began to tell a tale of half-truths mixed with genuine feelings, trailing off quietly.

“Must you really share the burden? I’ve been protecting you for so long and now, that I’m so close to the truth…you decide to jump into the lion’s den with me. You’re absolutely insane, you’re…you’re reckless. You have no consideration for yourself…”, his voice was still confused, but far warmer than before, almost as if he was trying to hold back a defeated chuckle.

“I wanted to go to the palace to look for clues…I need to know what happened. I know I’ve got blood on my hands, some way or another…I just hate not knowing.”, he continued, his arm squeezing around her back tightly, possessively. “But now…now I just want to spend the night with you and forget about it. Damn it all, damn it all to hell.”, he ended with slight anger in his tone, not directed towards her but towards the source of his grievances. 

Without another word, Julian untangled his hand from her hair and brought his fingers to his mouth, pulling the glove off with his teeth and spitting it away. She was too dear to him to be touched with something like that in the way. The soft caress of her scalp continued afterwards, life returning to his cheeks little by little when they became a rosy shade of pink. Comfortably, he was brushing her soft hair out of the way to glance at her face and a shy smile appeared on his own.

Just a little wip of our beloved Doctor and my apprentice.  (I’m stuggling with my old tablet though x_x ) Ad Astra Per Aspera: To the stars through difficulties.

An Open Letter to Tumblr about the Adult Content Ban and How it is Hurting Your Users:

Recently, Tumblr was removed from the Apple app store due to an incident involving child pornography. This incident is incredibly unfortunate, but it doesn’t stand alone. Tumblr was also removed from the app store due to the large influx of porn bots and pornographic spam, users claiming to be proud to be pedophiles, blatant Nazism, racists who are not deleted for sending hate and harassing users, and more. I myself reported someone for harassing me, but because I had blocked the person and couldn’t access the messages where they harassed me, they were still able to send me anonymous asks. Your support staff, with back doors to the website (presumably), claimed they could not access the messages, and I was left SOL. Many features on this website do nothing to actually protect your users from harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Nazis, pedophiles, predators, porn bots, and more. 

You claim in your statement to us that you “have been working on these problems for a long time”. This is blatantly untrue. Please do not lie to us and patronize us. We’ve been here. We’ve seen you do nothing over, and over, and over again. 

We complained to you for months and months about the rampant porn bots, and you did nothing except add a report button on mobile which only reported sensitive content or spam at best. You could have addressed this problem with an effective algorithm, but you did not. We complained to you about being harassed and sent hate speech for being LGBT+, and you did nothing. We complained to you about blogs being randomly deleted, and sometimes you’ve restored them, other times you have not. We complained to you that there were people proudly claiming to be “Minor Attracted Persons”, or pedophiles, and you did nothing. We complained to you about people proudly claiming to be white supremacists, and you did nothing. All of these things are “against the community guidelines”, and yet over and over, you have not found effective ways to handle these problems or suppress the feeling of welcome that these users claim to get here. You have had a long time to work on these problems, but you haven’t addressed them. To say you have is untrue. 

 Multiple other social networking websites, such as Wordpress, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others have effectively dealt with rampant pornography, racism, pedophilia, and other problems without causing massive issues for their users who are not misusing the platform. They are continuing to find new, effective ways to deal with these issues without causing problems for their userbase as a whole.  There is no reason that you are unable to do this effectively other than that you wanted to do it quickly. You have once again chosen your stock holders over your users. And we have had enough. 

You have already started to ban “Adult” content with a new algorithm. Here are screenshots of just a fraction of the posts you have flagged as containing adult content:

Your new system of simply tackling everything at once is not working. At all. And each of these screenshots is proof of your utter incompetence. None of these posts contain pornographic acts, “female nipples”, or any community violation of any kind. 

We, the users, have been asking you for months to deal with these problems - particularly, the porn bots and bots that spam. In order to block a bot from a side blog, I have to do it manually, even though they are in my side blog’s feed. This is a huge issue for mobile - only users. They keep cropping up in droves, taking over our posts and tricking google into making it look like a legitimate blog linked to a pornographic website. We have complained to you for months and months now, and your solution to simply “ban all adult content” is ineffective. I agree that children should not be able to access pornography - but this is not how you tackle a porn bot problem. Your system is utterly useless, allows for racists, pedophiles, porn bots, and Nazis to remain untouched. It also harms sex workers and real people who may use this website for some forms of adult content responsibly. Moreover, as seen above, it harms plenty of users who have in no way violated your terms of service.

 If you keep this up, you threaten your website and company as a whole. Many of us are backing up our blogs and planning places to go to. 

You already have a content filter for “sensitive” content (content inappropriate for younger viewers). You could have improved this, instead of attacking your entire user base. It seems to be a very lazy “solution”, if you could call it one at all, and one that harms your entire userbase.

If you are going to keep this filter in place and make Tumblr, a website that has never been known for being family friendly and has never claimed to be, you are going to lose millions of your users. We are already planning our exodus. It isn’t hard to follow. Censor us, and we will go somewhere else. That is not a threat. It is a promise. 

Sincerely, 

The users of your website.
