Last night I was emailed some porn that someone drew of me because I said a thing on the internet that they disagreed with.

Consent
deltumbles:
lets-blog-about-sex-baby:
Consent is one of the single most important aspect of any relationship, especially one that is sexual or might become sexual. The biggest thing to remember about consent is that it is not ongoing, meaning that a partner may give consent at one point, and then remove that consent at another. Consent is not given automatically simply because one has given it...

Okay… maybe. I’ll see how they handle it. I gotta admit I think not too often about Hale, and it’s sorta like, he has the ability to be much cooler than he ever really gets to be. (Yes, I’m on episode S2E15 which shows you just how much of a problem I have.)
