#don't get me wrong i think the whole leaves-an-interesting-letter-in-your-mailbox thing is cool on paper

Queso, after thinking about it for awhile.

To the anon who keeps leaving somewhat ominous, somewhat personal, poetry-themed asks in my inbox: Please Stop.

It seems like you mean well, and are mostly just going for dramatics, but I’m someone who suffers a lot from anxiety and paranoia. These messages caught me in a good mood, so mostly they just made me nervous, but I can tell you with confidence if they’d come a month ago, it would have affected me pretty negatively. I’m not telling you this to shame you, or make you feel bad. I’m telling you this for full transparency. If you still want to talk, but you’re scared to message under a username [or just don’t have a tumblr] that’s perfectly fine! I don’t mind. But understand I don’t know your intentions, so the vagaries and references to knowing me and things, they come off a lot more bad-faith than I think you want them to.

If I could offer a suggestion! Talk in your normal voice, or at the very least an informal one, and maybe tag yourself with a nickname so you’re more recognizable, like [poetry anon]. That way we can actually form a rapport.

Also, if you’re going to keep sending asks, please use the correct pronouns! I’ve been using they/them exclusively for almost 5 years now.

Thank you for understanding ^_^
