#edited to remove the lovebombing term

[thehammerofbrokkr]

I need Buck to romance Tommy like he didn't have the chance to do with all his previous partners. I want Tommy not knowing what to do with the level of attention, and getting showered with love that Buck is gonna give him. Not only that, but I need Tommy blushing and nose scrunching 24/7.

Imagine Buck going to the hangar to pick him up after a grueling shift and sweep him off his feet with an impromptu picnic date, a warm bath and a relaxing night where Tommy gets to be the littlest spoon ever.

I need romantic Buck to make a comeback and shower Tommy with so much romance, they both forget about all their previous partners altogether.

Firstly its awful what you've been through at the hands of the people in nukapedia, and I agree that things need to change. Fallout is so important to many of us here.

In regards to your recent posts any suggestions to new people wanting to edit and participate as a voice against the damage like you suggested?

(context: 4/28 Nukapedia PSA) after making an account, it would be constructive and lovely for you to attempt to add any piece of information you find interesting that is missing from the wiki, or simply improve the way something is written. if it gets removed, try asking how you can do better.

be social. use talk pages. hopefully your established peers will help you workshop your contribution into something fitting the content and style guidelines.

go grass roots. ask your passionate Fallout friends to come participate.

being in the room at all by attending announced conversations is a big deal. no specific plan, just go there, be normal, and don't enable weirdos. when an authority figure says something vague, insist they explain it and provide some kind of evidence if applicable.

you are never "too small" to speak in any conversation. speak up like you belong there. many of them are non-editors and do not even talk about fallout. you are a fallout fan. speak up when you see something wrong or concerning. your voice makes a difference and your silence does not. if you're doing your best to promote safety and transparency then you are helping even if you get swarmed by weird angry men.

the problem we're addressing is bad actors with special protections, who maintain narrative control through intimidation, abusive distortion of information, and mob mentality.

the inner-circle consists of people who are comfortable with coordinated lying and coded hate speech. they surround themselves with favored libs eager to demonstrate their apolitical loyalty to the concept of authority. The first group are overall cynical bigoted manipulators, and the second group is trained to completely fucking freak out when anyone tries to address the behavior of the first group. ("They're calling ALL OF US racist, you guys! ALL OF US!")

learn how to spot and resist emotional blackmail: Emotional blackmailers use fear, obligation and guilt in their relationships, ensuring that others feel afraid to cross them, obligated to give them their way and swamped by guilt if they resist. People WILL do this to you AGGRESSIVELY. Do not let them convince you you're actually the problem. Know that you can absolutely be punished at Nukapedia in front of everyone for failing to kneel to a cruel falsehood. Demand explanations. Demand evidence. Stand up for each other. They will try to break up and attack new groups forming in their echo chamber, so their "in-group" will remain the only source of legitimacy.

if authority figures imply you are somehow being bad by questioning their vague declarations and rhetorical justifications, do not concede to avoid conflict, do not validate them for bullying you, do not convey hesitation to speak. Curtly disagree and refuse to allow them to frame the conversation outside your terms. Be extremely wary of the admins who use passive language as if their decisions come from space.

if a user who's been there for years suddenly becomes CONSPICUOUSLY interested in you, positively or negatively, the inner circle is deciding what to make of you. Be wary of ppl who lovebomb you or launch in to overly positive shallow conversations. Play along with their vibes until you cannot. Don't become indignant when they cross a line, just treat them like they're embarrassing themselves. They prey on sincerity and they respect casual assertiveness.

If you think someone is fucking with you do not give them the benefit of the doubt especially if they are pushy about deserving it

if a person with a fancyboy typing style is pretending to be stupid so they can neg you, you are talking to a shadow person.

if u meet some1 who type like a 2000s trol you are talking to a shadow person.

If you meet someone on the discord 😂 who cant stop 😂 using emojis 😂 to show how happy and unphased 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ they are 🤷‍♂️ that person is trying to spit on you through the internet because you are not a secret racist.

Maintain composure as a matter of safety. If you become upset or act phased by disrespect for any reason you will added to the legends of woke demons who they valiantly slew. Navigate weird confrontations with weird jokes or dismissal, anything else makes you a mark.

people will say "you violated policy," this will just happen. SIMPLY DO NOT ENGAGE unless you're sure you're prepared to get Lawyer about it. never agree to the premise that "you violated policy," that is all they need to permanently mark you for limitless abuse. additionally, never imply that your approach to ANYTHING is "subjective" rather than "objective" or they will permanently mark you for limitless abuse.

i know this is very specific. there are at most 20 of these problem users who actually participate on the site at all--and half of them only show up to occasional forums. theyve been doing the same shit for a long time

many blessings
