guilty as charged (mun edition) // accepting // anonymous asked . . . Have you ever unfollowed a blog? What were the reasons?

All the time LOL. Most often I unfollow unactive blogs, typically blogs that have been inactive for a year or damn near it. Why do I bother? Because sometimes I'll notice my dash is very slow and I'm like "daaamn I've got [this many] followers... how come nothin's happenin?" Then I realize oh wait, a lotta my mutuals became inactive lol. So softblocking them is a good way to gage how many active followers I actually have.

Other times I've unfollowed a blog just because I personally didn't vibe with the mun's ooc posts, or content they're putting out. Or, one time when somebody was just reblogging TOO many posts that were completely unrelated to their muse, and was just spamming the dashboard with unrelated fandom reblogs as if they were a personal or somethin. I don't mind a lotta ooc posts, but I do start drawing the line when my dash gets spammed with completely different fandom posts that aren't related to their muse in any way.

The most controversial time I unfollowed somebody, and this may kinda count as drama but not really, was this K.ingdom Hearts blog. For some reason, my Riddler blog took MONTHS to pick up. I mean, I had it for 4 months and couldn't get a single follow back or anything. I have no clue why - literally nobody wanted to write with me then. (Which is really bizarre, given that, I think at one point, it had 400 followers - many ppl started writing with me later). I'm gonna guess it's because my blog had dark themes / backgrounds. (I wrote my Eddie as a CSA survivor - this may be semi important later)

Anyway, a confession on one of 'em RP confession blogs was expressin' how sad they were that nobody was writing with them, I agreed with it too, also offering I'd write with 'em too. A KH blog came up to me and saying they were having the same problem. I was about to learn a big lesson in writing with them just 'cos I was sympathetic LOOOL. So basically I followed, and we kinda talked on and off for a couple weeks, we wrote a lil. But then their topics started getting ... weirder, horrible even.

Then suddenly, their posts got super fucking crazy. Like they BRAGGED about their tags were apparently QUOTES from the Columbine shooting and the Jamestown cult tragedy?! I didn't fuckin' know 'cos who would??? And like when I went to unfollow them, they were having a thread where the character casually threatens to rape his brother and it's like holy shiiiiiiiiiit. So of course, I hardblocked 'em for that clownery.

Unfortunately, I started getting anon hate on my blog (obvs from him). I got like 4 anon hates in a row - but I blocked the anon and well, that did that lol. Some of the anon hates were like "I thought you liked dark content..." and it's like yeah, when HANDLED WITH RESPECT LMAO. My character was written as a CSA survivor as a background, I don't actually write the fuckin' act out, it's just part of his story. And like, it's also there to show how male victims handle it, and how a lot of sexual abuse survivors tend to turn to hard drugs to cope with it. my BLOG HAD NOTHING THAT WAS GLORIFYING / USING TRUE CRIME SHIT & THEN HAVING MY CHARACTER THREATENING TO UGHGHHH. And like, I didn't call 'em out, didn't mention it on my blog. They can write whatever the fuck they want, I just don't want anything to do with that stuff lmao. So I blocked them.

Then I got one of their mutuals messaging me like "why did you block [user]? they thought you were good friends with them. they're really hurt :(" and it's like?? I kinda talked to them every now & then thru DMS, that's it. We never exchanged discords ffs, we were far from "friends" never mind good friends lmao. Also don't be wildin' on your dashboard, ppl are likely to become uncomfortable and unfollow.

[bxdbunni]

maybe its just me? probably an unpopular opinion but i do not get this whole policing ppl to always reblog shit from the source.

reblog karma to me is a myth. tumblr notifications are always fucked up so like, its really whatever. you're gonna lose track of things regardless. yall need to remember this is NOT a roleplaying site meant FOR roleplay. it is BLOGGING site meant for BLOGGING. as great as it is to roleplay, we got this notion that we are the only ones that matter and somehow we earned the right to dictate what people are allowed and not allowed to do when it comes to certain types of blogs?? the entitlement is crazy.

im so sick of seeing this shit. i swear reblog karma was made for people upset they weren't getting sent asks. and hey, that's fine. i get it. im just a stubborn soul, and i dislike feeling obligated to send someone something if I dont feel like it or if I dont see anything on that meme i wanna send to them specifically. I do reblog from the source when it comes to memes because there are whole ass blogs for just those now, sure cool. but musings??

stuff that is like pictures and stuff that relates to your characters. the 'don't treat me like a resource blog' is so crazy. this is a blogging site, meant to like and REBLOG things. its gonna happen.

that whole 'we dont see it as a compliment' like this is why I say the rpc is NOT fucking community cuz ya'll gatekeep every single fucking thing its exhausting. communities build each other up, they help each other out. they share. its a crime to reblog the image I think is cool and fitting to my muse cuz its making you feel like a resource?? and mind you see I see a lot of people who get interactions up out the ass and if you feel like a resource that sounds a you problem.

duplicates are the same way. its a you problem. everyone writes their muse differently. If you got an issue with someone writing the same muse as you, because GUESS WHAT no one is original, you're bound to have similar thoughts and headcanons that doesnt mean someone is copying you or trying to steal from you. odds are, you think the same and hey , thats stuff to bond over. I love duplicates love writing threads with twins, love LOVING the same character with other people who love loving the character. its all to protect ya'lls insecurities and you mask it by making it seem like its some kind of etiquette.

seriously who the fuck created these rules i just dont get it.i swear if tumblr had the option to make blog completely private the way you can on twitter SOOOO many people would be locked and private. without a fucking question.

repost, don't reblog!

NAME : rowen

PRONOUNS : she/her/my liege; we is also common i.e. 'we here at strife industries' etc but it's really just for self-reference

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : carrier pigeon maybe? i'm really bad at all kinds of communication tbqh. we can get some walkietalkies tho & i promise i haven't ever forgotten about u /phil collins voice, u'll be in my heart

chatting on tumblr ims is fine & i do have a discord ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ u can even have my whatsapp if u want, but standard messaging & data rates may apply. talk to ur doctor if rowenix is right for u

NAME OF MUSE(s) : this here is my boy kuraudo sutoraifu-waifu but i've written a few other characters here and there; cloud is the only rp blog i have any semblance of presence on atm tho - he is my forevergirl, my homeslice, my big chalupa. for ffvii specifically, i've also written rp for elena and rufus

BEST EXPERIENCE : you! i've met all my best friends through rp which is probably why i'm still even around in the rps

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : i don't like it when ppl say they do not like the chara i am literally writing at that moment. so like, if you don't like cloud, why are you here..... we don't have any money... we've got nothin for ya.... pls smash that unfollow button and do not hit the notification bell....,other than that tho, i don't really care. it's the internet. i've seen 4chan

MUSE PREFERENCES : paris hilton voice; i'll take five more of these little blonde bitches; fr tho i like charas who have issues with the self/who have a man vs self literary conflict kinda thing going on. i also like side-chars who don't have a lot of lore coz then i don't have to start from scratch like with an oc, but i still have freedom in the preassembled sandbox u kno?? i don't have time for a rowenverse

PLOTS OR MEMES : spontaneous stuff is easier for me; plotted stuff can get too detailed and then i freak myself out about it bc of anxiety about quality & expectations. that aside, i'll do either. if we go plotted i'd rather go 'lightly plotted' as in we talk about an idea and then just run with it, with minor course corrections as we go should the plane not take off as expected

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : i personally tend to match length but sometimes the words just gotta come out and your one to three liner will have a 500 word reply. i have no preference from what i receive to what i give. it just is what it is and i'm grateful ur even taking the time to spend it with me

BEST TIME TO WRITE : when something else more important needs to get done. we love executive dysfunction. like right now, i should be finishing up a work project for tomorrow's meeting and yet....

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : our sense of humor is the same, or at least similar... cloud's social awareness is probably better than mine. neither of us talk a lot. is that good enough????

TAGGED BY: vctlan & then everyone i'm following who is still active has already done this i'm pretty sure... so if you haven't been tagged before and u see this, then i'm tagging u ok -- tell me abt u and be my friend

🔥🔥🔥

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. Bonus points if you include a topic. ( IE. shipping, roleplaying, ect. )

Okay. I struggled to come up with some topics to talk about for a while plus just issues through the entirety of this week. BUT I FIGURED IT OUT.

🔥 - PROMOS. tbh, promo's main use were to help roleplayers find other roleplayers, to spread the word about your blog and find more partners and people to make friends and broaden your experiences with learning about new and exciting fandoms. Now I just find them tedious, and annoying to make. if you aren't a popular blog the odds of your promo being reblogged and spread around is so minimal. it also just feels like clout chasing at this point. and yeah nothing wrong with reblogging your promo and having your friends hype you up, but then ppl wonder why they think the rpc is so alienating? cuz someone else will reblog their promo's expecting the same thing and they don't get it and then they feel left out. but if its just so you can get some nice thrown at you, it just feels like more clutter for my dash especially if I'm already following you. now if you're a NEW blog. if you just joined a fandom, and you want some exposure, I'm down for that because that is what a promo is supposed to be for.

🔥 - Personals. I actually like personals. sometimes personals care more about what I post than my own followers. i get ppl being upset if they reblog their threads, but liking your posts? and maybe reblogging a headcanon or something but idk i guess for me that stuff just doesn't bother me. I love when people reblog my headcanon and they agree. or they add onto it, with their own thoughts. or they tell me how much they love it. makes me feel seen. makes me feel cool. i just think people forget that tumblr is NOT a roleplay site. yes, we found a use to tailor it to our hobby, that doesn't mean everyone who comes across our blogs know that. they arent apart of our community, what makes you think they have to abide our guidelines for it? tbh, roleplayers have just gotten entitled to thinking that tumblr is supposed to bow to our whim. we share a space with non roleplayers. to demand, and just expect ppl are just going to see your rules and read them and respect it rght away?? come on ya'll. we know to look for rules cuz its what we've been doing for years, but you can't expect that from strangers who are likely mobile bound just seeing something you wrote in the tags. its gonna happen. i just dont like the mannerisms some people have with them. you dont gotta be rude about it. if its really bothering you just block them and be done. problem solved. going out of your way to make posts about how annoying they are is just unnecessary.

🔥 - duplicates. this is one is gonna get me fired but oh well. Ya'll we have GOT to love ourselves better. because it is plain and simple insecurity for why people feel they cant talk or write with duplicates. i know it does deeper in some cases, like your current partner leaving you for the shinny new roleplayer of the same muse you write. believe me I've been there. but fuck those people. when are we gonna stop letting others dictate how we feel about ourselves? i hate seeing shit when a new roleplayer pops up with the same muse and suddenly you get the vaguing posts about 'suddenly feeling very doubtful of my portrayal' like its not obvious you are threatened. and in this fandom??? we're i follow like 30 different alastors?? lucifers?? Angels"?? all different, all got something to add and share. i got news for you but your portrayal isnt the only ONE. its not the end all be all. and yes I talk to my ego all the time, cuz there are some muses i write where i'm like I AM THE GOD FATHER OF THIS MUSE. but thats me and my own pride, doesnt mean anyone else who writes this muse is less than me. or i'm suddenly less than them. and there are portrayals i dont fuck with. i simply just do not look their way. but theres always muses i love roleplaying with duplicates cuz its FUN. also being able to talk to people who love this muse as much as you?? learn to stop looking at everything like its a competition and things will not be as stressful. its what makes this hobby unfun when you let those insecurities eat you up. im not saying its not valid, and im not saying you cant be upset, but what does it really do for you? what would happen if you just went and talked to them? imagine it goes well? you make a new friend. dont deny yourself opening a door just because you are scared of what 'might' be behind it. and its something I am learning and teaching myself. our issue is we all wanna be see, and heard. we all wanna be the absolute best. we wanna have the best portrayal like this sort of acknowledgement does anything. cuz while I know ppl love my own portrayals, still doesn't change the fact that i got issues and i cry myself to sleep still. the 'love' i get on here, ain't a fix. and if you think seeking validation on tumblr dot com is gonna fix you? its not. the attention and love we seek on here is just a placeholder, its us using this as a distraction from actually fixing our problems, and turn i still see how so many of us are unhappy. let it go.

3-5 ESSENTIAL RULES PEOPLE HAVE TO RESPECT

please read my rules

please be patient with me. irl stuff can get in my way or leave me too drained to do stuff, even if i WANT to write

the basic stuff, no metagaming, godmodding, infomodding, etc

3-5 IMPORTANT PET PEEVES TO KEEP IN MIND

I am 100% okay with my rp partner not matching my reply length. Be it shorter or longer. (heck, if they make it longer then I'll feel better abt my next reply being longer.) HOWEVER, if I give a paragraph or two, I will expect more than one line. which is what I actually got one time.

if my rp partner goes into a thread with me assuming something about my muse even though I make it clear that my muse is canon divergent. I'm absolutely free to IM if you have questions! I'm friendly and don't bite, i promise. QwQ

when i can't figure out your blog. please, readability is the most important thing to me. which is why the most I do is small text. I will change my theme if I think even one thing is making it unreadable or even slightly harder to read. bright harsh colors as well, makes the blog a mess to read anything on.

not trimming your posts. it makes it hard to follow whats going on sometimes. even if tumblr now makes long posts auto readmore. (at least it does for me)

i do prefer that ppl tag their posts most of the time, but that's not really a requirement if it's not like for a trigger or something. it just helps me search for stuff on their blogs if i can't find it through our notes.

2-5 THINGS THAT WILL LEAD TO INSTANT (SOFT/HARD)BLOCKING

if the blog looks like a bot in some way

if it's a personal who has repeatedly reblogged something after being asked not to

if it's someone i've known in the past to make me uncomfortable

2-5 THINGS THAT LEAD ME TO UNFOLLOW / SOFTBLOCK A MUTUAL / SOMEONE I INTERACT WITH

ooc drama between people, vague posts, bullying

minor/adult ships

very rarely, if they're spamming TOO MUCH ooc stuff, untagged or other wise, in a short amount of time. I mean like, many posts that are actually ooc not having anything to do with their character. not like aesthetic posts, headcanons, or art. I'm also not talking abt like, PSAs or updates on the mun's health/lack of energy. i get that it's your blog. but i didn't want to follow a blog that's being treated more like a personal blog.

also very rarely, if my dash is going too fast and it's clear someone isn't going to interact with me i might unfollow just to make things easier for myself to keep up with. but again, that doesn't happen very often.

if it's clear a blog has been abandoned. if they show signs of activity later tho, i may refollow. bc i know irl stuff happens, u kno.

2-5 REASON YOU DON'T FOLLOW (BACK) SOMEONE

if their muse is from a series i am uncomfortable with. (used to love HP, but i can't look at anything from it now. for example.)

if they ASK why i haven't followed them back. just feels weird, man. I will then not follow out of spite for how uncalled for that question is. nobody is owed a follow. not even me.

MUSIC MEME  ♫

RULES: - share four songs / pieces of music that represent your muse - repost, don’t reblog

tagged by:    @krupnick  ( AS LONG AS I’M ANSWERING                        MEMES, here’s one from like 12 years ago lol ) tagging:         nah

CELEBRITY STATUS || Marianas Trench

 ‘  i traded in who i’ve been, for shiny celebrity skin.   i like to push it and push it until my luck is over.  ‘

I really associate this song with Daffy, for the fact that, a lot of the time he fools himself into thinking that the stuff he’s saying is true. But really, under it all, he knows it’s all just an act. ‘Mirrors and smoke’ like it says in the song. And putting on that act, acting larger than life, and trying to charm everyone all the time --- it’s exhausting. And sometimes, when he comes back to himself a bit and realizes that he’s kind of lost himself in it all ‘traded in who he’d been for shiny celebrity skin’, he thinks privately to himself how much he just wants to be himself and let that whole act drop. Which he doesn’t for various other reasons that I could get into later haha.

OH NO!  || Marina and the Diamonds

‘  ‘cause i feel like i’m the worst,     so i always act like i’m the best.  ‘

Alright, this song is another one that i’ve always associated with Daffy. It’s kind of in the same vein as the previous song, but from a slightly different perspective. Like, I HC that Daff has periods where he thinks he’s on top of the fucking world, and then periods where he’s hit with reality and some humbleness seeps in (like in the previous song); AND THEN moments where he feels like a total second banana fucking failure--- and that’s what this song represents. 

Like he knows that sweeping all of his flaws under the metaphorical carpet is really fucking him up big time. He knows that placing so many expectations on himself that he can’t possibly live up to isn’t good for his emotional well-being, and when he inevitably doesn’t live up to his own crazy expectations, he just gets DOWN, man.

But he still does it, and he can’t let it go. Because deep down his self-esteem is such shit. He wants to grab that praise and respect and admiration and love all for himself, by tearing others down, by being selfish, by praising himself and constantly trying to feed his ego --- like it’s all to make himself feel important and to convince himself that he’s loved and worthy of being loved.

Which is dumb on his part bc he’s putting so much pressure on himself, when literally all he has to do to be loved is to not try, and to simply accept his flaws and realize that no one’s perfect and he’s interesting and lovable and stuff without being the #1 BEST AT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. 

Like he thinks he’s unlovable, so he acts like an asshole trying to grab that love for himself. So he’s becoming his own ‘self-fulfilled prophecy’, like it says in the song.

BILLIONAIRE  ||  Bruno Mars

This song isn’t nearly as deep as the others lmao. It’s pretty straight-forward and literal. Daffy just wants fame and glory and to be rich. All of this stuff. This whole song. One thing though, is that as soon as he felt like, fulfilled, he’d actually start thinking about ppl other than himself ( maslow’s hierarchy of neeeeeds )  like it jumps from selfishly filling his own desires in the song, to giving back to people. Because ultimately what he wants is to be loved and respected, and he’d find out that he could get that by giving back to people. And SURPRISE SURPRISE, helping people and making them happy actually makes HIM happy too. So i do associate it with that, but yeah haha, this song is basically exactly literal.

SOME NIGHTS  ||  fun. 

‘  some nights i stay up, cashin’ in my bad luck,    some nights i call it a draw.    some nights i wish that my lips could build a castle,    some nights i wish they’d just fall off.  ‘ AND

‘  some nights i wish that this all would end,   ‘cause i could use some friends for a change.    and some nights i’m scared you’ll forget me again,    and some night i always win, i always win...  ‘

THIS SONG. THIS SONG RIGHT HERE OKAY. I have so many feelings associated with this song ♥ like, okay. I could go so in-depth about everything I’ve thought about regarding this song. There are so many different aspects to it that I ascribe to Daff’s character ( i’m not joking when i say i think about things to music lmao). So I’ll just go over what it means generally to me for now:

Okay, so generally, to me, this song represents Daff’s indecisiveness about who he is and who he wants to be and what he stands for and things. Like, especially now with how he’s getting to know his past wives and attempting to reconnect with his children and smooth things over and take responsibility for his actions, he’s learning more and more about how his actions affect others, and he’s actually beginning to care. But then he still juggles with that deep-seeded ‘me me me i look out for myself’ mentality that’s been like drilled deep into his subconscious by now. So he’s juggling with himself.

The verses that i described up above are basically him flip-flopping between moods, kinda like i described in ' Oh no! ’. like he feels on top of the world sometimes, and sometimes he feels like ‘aw shit why’d i say that, that was so fucking dumb’. Sometimes he charms people and does things right and everything works out for him. And sometimes (lots of the time actually lmao) he just royally shoves his own foot in his own mouth and screws himself over by being a selfish asshole.

And when he reflects back on it, he wonders what he even ‘stands for’, or like, what he’s trying to accomplish, because he knows that making people feel like crap isn’t what he wants to stand for. But he doesn’t know what his ultimate goal in life is either. Because it’s not ‘glory’ or ‘riches’ or ‘being worshipped’. It’s just being loved genuinely and making people happy through his own expression of who he actually is. He’s just got to get over his shit self-esteem and realize that’s what he ultimately wants first.

But until then, he’s got no fucking clue what he’s doing.

[controlledhues]

you could treat people a little better. you vague, you have said more than once in servers that people only buy your “friends” art instead of yours because theirs is cheaper (crappy way to talk about fellow artists and esp. friends), and you complain people arent interested in your muse when you mostly post art/ship things. nothing wrong with EITHER but its hard for ppl to interact if you dont give them things to engage with. youre sweet but I wish you would consider how your words affect others

//I genuinely don't remember ever mentioning the commission thing in the past two years which is when I've made more artist friends and I've also commissioned people and my vision of things has changed considerably. In fact, now I help others to price their stuff so they don't charge too little, which IS a problem in the art internet world. If I did, I really don't remember at all. Although nowadays I'd definitely hate that attitude of mine and I do apologize for saying those things.

(However -and knowing I may get confronted by this- I'm not much of a fan of calling others out for what they vent about. Those places/channels are supposedly to be safe for anyone and none of that should be brought outside of them unless it's a direct attack or means harm.)

The vagueposting is of course something I'm completely leaving behind as well, since I know it has hurt people as well much more than one would think and nowadays I'm facing the awful consequences of it, so yeah. That's also I'm improving about myself.

Regarding RP, it's something hard for me as well for many many reasons. My muse is someone hard to approach too, that's why I usually send asks instead x) or most of the time I simply I don't know how to write (I swear I try to write more before dropping threads because I simply forgot about it... and my memory issues aren't really helping).

Edit about this: If other muses or muns are not interested in interacting with Mel is totally fine and I won’t beg them or anything so I just prefer to vibe reblogging other content that’s not starters or memes.

In all honesty, I know my words have hurt people in one or another way, but it's something I'm in all truth trying to improve and tbh keeping my mouth shut is the best way dsfkjhgkj.

Thank you for sending this, for real. It's hard for friends or acquaintances to like, tell others what they do wrong in fear of them victimizing or getting upset. But I'm not at all. I'm not defending my actions, either. I know they were awful and the most I can do is to be nicer and think before speaking and try to reach out my mutuals more.

[demonsfate]

munday topics ! // accepting // @electricea asked . . . 6, 7 and 8

6. excessive ooc

Honestly... for the MOOOST part, I don't care about "excessive ooc". even though I tend to worry that I post too much ooc LOL. yes, ppl can have "personal blogs" to post ooc stuff to but like. I just understand that behind the muses, there is a real person with real feelings who might wanna share lil details of their lives. Especially when they have more followers on their rp blogs who are more likely to listen & respond than their personal blog does.

There are a couple scenarios where I will draw the line. That being if there is just no in character content. Like they've been logging on every day for weeks just to make several ooc posts and nothing more. Then I may unfollow just because, at that point, I question if I'll ever be able to actually write with them because they're not giving any ic stuff lol. Or when like they just SPAM the dash with reblogs that have NOTHING to do with their muses. I'm not saying musings or aesthetics posts - because those still pertain to the muse. I'm saying when they reblog stuff from other fandoms that have zilch to do with their blog. For example, it'd be like if I were to start reblogging lots of Death Note, lots of Supernatural, and lots of Bluey despite the fact that my blog is Tekken lol. Now that I find annoying bc I'm wondering really WHY can't you use a personal for that? Of course, ppl are always free to do what they want with their blogs - but that's one thing I don't get.

7. DNIs in rules

I'm like what you were saying, I will follow them if it's somebody I know I'm not gonna end up writing with anyone due to different fandoms or having never followed each other. Or if like, they have concrete proof that this person is to be avoided. But liiiiike... when ppl just drop a username in a DNI and has no other available information... I just can't help but wonder if that person did anything or if it was a personal spat between the two muns. Especially because I've been a personal "victim" of ppl telling their mutuals to not interact with me, that I should just delete, and saying just horrible untrue garbage about me. All because I wrote with sb they didn't like. (Though they were also infamous about pretending to be somebody's friend, then dropping them and suddenly acting like they're the Worst Person Ever with no actual evidence)

I understand if muns wanna set boundaries even if they simply don't like the other person, or they had a personal drift or whatever. But like... I'm gonna be honest, there are def ppl in the RPC that I don't care to see on my dashboard. But I don't think I'll ever have a DNI. I just use X-Kit, X-Kit Rewritten, and the Tumblr block feature to avoid them. Which yes, sometimes they might still "slip through" but like... if I just see them once in a blue moon, it's not gonna matter much to me. And this even applied to those who bullied me as I mentioned above.

So yeah, I do try to follow DNIs if it's one of my mutual, but I do often question the validity (sorry but with the past, I can't help but to) and well... I also have to apologize if I end up writing with sb in a "DNI" because I swear it feels like more and more ppl are having DNI lists now and it's like... when you're following nearly 200 people, it's probs hard to remember who's in a DNI and who's not, y'know? But like I also said, usually those in DNI lists tend to be in different fandoms than I am, anyway.

8. reblog karma

I don't follow it. I mean, of course, I'll always reblog posts from the source & send people in one (WHEN it's applicable. Obvs I'm not gonna send a smut / ship meme to somebody who my muse has no relation with) But like... people rarely follow reblog karma so I just see little point in enforcing it lol. Like even IF somebody does reblog from the source, you can always tell they reblogged it from you without sending you one. And honestly? I don't get wtf people even do that for when it comes to munday asks or headcanon asks. Like why? There is literally zero excuse for it. Shy? Send it through anon. It doesn't fit your character? It doesn't have to because it's just asking my character / or the mun a question. Like literally. That shit actually annoys me but again. What can you do? I'm not gonna demand ppl ... but I still never understand it.

And I understand some ppl say it clogs up the activity if it's reblogged straight from them. But honestly... I've just never had that problem before lmao. Like I've had personal blogs reblog memes I've made and those memes can get up to 20+ notes, and it still never bothers me. (Especially when a lotta times in Modern Tumblr Age, notifs for a single post tends to become one block)

I could actually complain more about this but uhhhh. I think I'll leave it at that. djfndjsf
