Very rarely I'll (accidentally) find someone who's blocked me on pokemon tumblr, and realistically I know that they probably saw one of my posts too many times and just got sick of seeing it or I simply annoy them or whatever. But part of me really wants to believe that my pokemon anime opinions were just too much for someone. I want to believe that someone saw me say 'The absol scene needed better build-up to justify Drew talking to one of his pokemon like that, it goes against everything we've seen of him imo' or whatever and they just put a hand over their heart, wounded, and clicked the block button while cursing my family for several generations, past and future. I really want to think that I had a lukewarm enough drew opinion that someone blocked me about it

#another option is that I interacted with someone that we're all supposed to be mad at and I didn't know or care about it tbh.#I remember early on in my blog I got an anon that was like #'your mutual stole a fic idea from this other person' and it's like. hm. okay.#1.) too vague. You didn't tell me who it was on either side. just 'my mutual'. What do you expect me to do with this information?#2) this sounds like personal drama that I have no reason to know about. Why would I ostracize someone for something that doesn't involve me #3.) what do you mean by 'stealing'? because the nature of fanfiction centers around derivation.#every writer is stealing to some extent and I'm very big on benefit of the doubt when it comes to that kind of thing.#4.) you being on anon means you're not willing to put your reputation on the statement. so why should I take it seriously if you can't?#5.) I have like 200 mutuals. 75% chance this is about someone I've spoken to twice.#I don't really have a point I guess. just feels like a fun anecdote to share now that the statute of limitations has hopefully expired #my asks are usually great. I love you anons!!! but there have been a couple of ones that make for fun stories lol
