#i‘d have to make a new blog for that

[the-travelling-witch]

COOL BLOG IDEA! UR OCS INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE! Or just posting as if they were running that blog

i already don’t write enough for my ocs as is, i literally cannot sustain a blog on that alone, especially given that there’s like maybe three people who care about them

also it doesn’t fit the url :]

[setokaibassoulmate]

Hiii~ I’m Luna and I’m a huge Yugioh fan and collector, especially of Seto Kaiba!💙I‘m very passionate about my love for Kaiba and I do my best to share my devotion to him! I‘d love to meet more Yugioh & Kaiba fans and collectors, just like other selfshipper/yume!

I finally got around to make a pinned intro post! Shares are greatly appreciated! I‘d love to make some new friends from the Yugioh and F/O community💙

🩵Please read before interacting!🩵

🩵F/O: Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!

💙Shipname: Moondragonshipping, Lukai, 💙♥️,🌊🌸

🩵Sharing is OK although I‘m a bit selective because of unpleasant past experiences with doubles. I naturally keep my distance from doubles I don’t know but I don’t mind interacting.

💙I‘ve been into Yugioh since 2012, Selfshipping with Kaiba since 2016 and I started collecting around 2017/2018

🩵My DMs and asks are always open and I‘m happy to meet new mutuals either from the Yugioh fandom or the self ship community.

♥️Don’t copy or edit my images, personal use and claiming as your own is prohibited.

♥️I don’t RP! My OC is not just a self insert, she is literally me!

♥️Don’t send me any NSFW asks/images or any other ships with Kaiba

♥️While I don’t mind sharing with selective people please don’t mention other people that selfship with Kaiba to me or under my posts

♥️Don’t mention any Yugioh ships to me or tag my posts into them. I have nothing against any ship, but I don’t want my personal posts to be associated with shipping since this is my selfship blog. This also applies to doubles!

My NOTP is blueshipping (Kaiba/Kisara) so please don’t tag my BEWD posts in any relation to Kisara or that ship.

♥️Don’t use female pronouns for BEWD under my posts. Kaiba literally canonically calls them his boys and so will we on this blog!

Well damn, rly said that livy deleted her blog, she was the first writer I started following when I got into the silm fandom back then 🥲

I‘ve definitely thought about writing some stuff for the fandom before (cuz I also write a lil in my freetime and it‘s been my #1 dream to be an author ever since I was kid) but I know it would be irregular as fuck and I‘d probably go months between posting 💀 also in that weird place where on the one hand idgaf about anyone‘s opinion but on the other hand am also deathly afraid of conflict and I‘d be scared about ppl being mean if my hcs are very different from theirs/I write characters different from general fandom consensus and just in general the „lovely“ messages writers have to deal with :/ the struggle is real (sorry for the random dump, you just rly made me think about it again lol)

Same. That was the furthest piece of news I was expecting to hear for the holidays. I can just imagine how many people were saddened by this news for the holidays. She was my first Silm reader insert blog I found and elfy-imagines back in 2017. I used to devour all their content.

As for your writing, if anyone doesn't want to appreciate your writing, I will 😤. We all have different headcanons of the characters, that's what makes our ideas interesting. I would say to give it a chance when you have the time and if anyone comes at you, send them my way. I have a brick that helps rude people learn manners and etiquette 🙂

In the end, we are all individuals and thus, bound to handle “lovely” messages and feedback differently. So join only when you are comfortable 🤗. Happy Holidays 🎄❣

[rp-academy]

i‘m new in the rp tumblr community (not new to tumblr itself though) and i really really appreciate all of your resources so tysm for taking the time to create all this <3

i do have a question: how do i get people to find & interact with my blog?

i‘d love to try out some of the infinite starter/rp memes ive seen everywhere on tumblr but i have no idea how i would even use them & how to get people to send/reply/etc. to me

i sent submissions on some of those rp-partner-search blogs on here as well because i had no idea where to start, but i don‘t seem to be lucky with that :[

i just wanna rp & maybe get to know some nice people in the rp community but i have no idea how, i know a lot of the etiquette stuff now but all that doesn‘t really matter if i‘m not actually interacting with anyone 😭

-@havis-rp-adventures

Hey there! I'm glad my blog has been a valuable resource to you.

It's definitely difficult starting out in the community, as there are many different structures and moving parts to learn. Hopefully, my advice here will be of some use too!

Looking at your blog, you have a really nice theme! It's very clear to read and quite beautiful. However, you may be having some trouble finding people to interact with because they may still be viewing you as a personal blog.

RP blogs differ from personals in a couple of different ways that I'll outline here.

(A.) Content and reblogs.

RP blogs are made up of largely tagged posts that fall into a few different categories. OOC posts, headcanons, threads, aesthetics, dash games, and more. These are almost always tagged accordingly and don't usually fall outside the main purpose of the blog. I see that your blog is for the most part empty and already following this standard, though you may want to integrate the tag system for easier navigation! I'd try to add a little bit more flavor to your blog by adding drabbles here and there as writing samples, or reblogging aesthetic/visage posts!

(B.) Rules and muse page.

One of the largest things that sets a personal apart from an rp blog is the way in which you set up your rules and muses. There is additional information on this post on how you might go about making a rules and muses page, but another way for beginners is to make a pinned post and put all information under a read more. It looks like you've already got a bio going, so here's how I personally would organize that as an example:

Obviously this is your blog and you have every right to make it how you'd like, but these are just my suggestions!

Other than that, it's a matter of being patient and reaching out to others. Not everyone will be down to rp, and that's okay. It takes time and patience, and largely an understanding of that concept. What you give, you get back. It can be discouraging when you can't find many to rp with, but it's important to remember that negativity truly will breed negativity here. Waiting for others to approach you won't always work, so you may need to ask and try to engage with others! Don't be afraid to say what you want!

[bitterseadrop-a]

PARTNER CALL.

to make managing my drafts a bit easier i‘m putting this out. if you‘d like to be mains, simply like or reblog this post.

what this entails is that i‘ll give you priority for replies/asks and i‘ll do my best to reply in a timely manner as long as time permits me to do so. this also means i‘m a lot more likely to randomly come at you with plot ideas or miscellaneous stuff about our muses!

i‘d prefer that we‘ve interacted before you like this post. if we haven‘t interacted yet you‘re free to like this post as well, as a future reference if you‘re still interested in becoming mains then!

multimuse blogs can specify which muses you‘d like me to prioritise as well. otherwise, if you have multiple blogs — you can let me know if you‘d like this status to be expanded on to those as well!

EDIT: this does NOT mean that i won‘t accept new rp partners or won‘t reply to other threads at all. it just means that it‘ll likely take me longer to reply to those threads.

[mommyownsmee]

Hi mommy I’m new here and honestly new to this whole tumble message thing. Not sure why but your blog makes me actually comfortable and wet… I really need to sleep but now I’m soaking my panties again. I just wanna be buried under you while you tell me I’m a good girl. I think I’d start crying…

If possible, can I use the 🌿 emoji?

Welcome to my blog little 🌿. 𝒙𝒙

I have my main blog for over 12 years now and still have no idea how all of this really works. It‘s crazy.

Well.. I‘m on this account mostly and it‘s really fun and I hope I can help some people to find what they need/desire.

Comfort is a good thing.. would you cry from happiness or because you‘re so horny?

But no matter what, I‘d lick that tears away, honey..

Can‘t let such a cute crybaby be untouched!

11. has an F/O inspired you to pick up a new hobby/interest/habit this year?

not that i would be aware of ngl :o

17. how do you and your F/O(s) spend new year's eve together? do you celebrate in any way? do you have any important new years traditions? (if you celebrate the new year on any other point of the year than december 31 this question also applies of course!)

BY FOLLOWING AUSTRIAN / GERMAN TRADITIONS >:]] (mostly austrian from what i’ve seen but we try to mix it up . to make it fair n all) since two years now felix and i have small sandwiches for dinner (there’s many different ones n it’s like . a big plate full) n then we do some stuff to kill time (cuddling up n watching the yearly music show we always watch just cuz it’s fun !! or we play some games- whatever we feel up to honestly !) when the time comes we watch 'dinner for one' n i believe after that the kaiser (an austrian comedian) has his lil speech n all n he introduces you into new year . NEW YEARS KISS IS NO. 1 PRIORITY with a glass of champagne before it and theeeen we watch the . viennese new years concert n then we either go to bed or . idk watch some show / movie / play some games whatever we feel up to !! :]]

🎆 ; end of the year ask game

[dhs-in-distress]

*looks at your reblog* 👀 Oh? Tell me more

(Omg I only found this accidentally cause I‘m new to having 2 blogs I‘m so sorry that I‘m only answering now, I swear I didn‘t even know this ask existed until now, but I‘m so happy you‘re interested ok aNYWAY-)

So that post I reblogged reminded me of a scene I wanted to write into that one TFA OC fanfiction I never finished so I’ll just talk about that (with a bit of context for comprehension‘s sake, but hopefully not too much cause all of the context would be like 50 pages)

(Oh also this is specifically about Scatterbrain/Scatters/SB/the one guy who‘s been infesting my brain like a parasite for the past 1.5 years)

So like basically Scatters has two main problems.

1: a dead boyfriend who got killed by the Cybertronian equivalent of the police, and

2: a „past“ in the stockades, where he got put after attacking the guy who killed his boyfriend, and which made him develop an extreme fear of getting things plugged into his medical port (and medical equipment in general) as a result of things they did there.

… Needless to say these two elements don‘t mix very well, both with each other as well as with just, being a functional person in general. If you add his other other problem with vulnerability and admitting to his fears and faults and distress, everything just goes to shit.

If you now put him in a situation where he has to be medically treated (by Ratchet btw, that info becomes important later) as a result of severe „bleeding“, and subsequently also get an oil/energon transfusion via the port, you get that post I reblogged, with some extras too! So I’ll just go into detail under the cut about how that’d play out, it’s kinda long and cringe and only makes sense to me and I‘m probably also the only one who gets this emotional about it cause this guy‘s entire psyche is like, in my brain. Anyway- proceed at your own risk :))

At first he‘d start being more and more aggressive, refusing to open his port at all and saying that he „doesn‘t need“ the transfusion, then going over to yelling about how he „doesn‘t need to do anything you tell me to actually“ when he starts to run out of arguments to cover up the fact he‘s just very afraid of all of this. This would however only result in aggravating Ratchet, ending in him getting Bulkhead to physically restrain Scatters to finally force open his port and get the transfusion going already, because he really does need it. And yeah… the physical restraint coupled with the forceful intrusion doesn’t help at all with differentiating this experience from the stockades. Having already been out of it due to his low energy levels, now with the added reminder of these other two factors, Scatters starts hysterically crying and begging to „make it stop“ and just fully reliving his imprisonment at this point. Obviously Bulkhead doesn’t have any idea what‘s going on, and while Ratchet can make an educated guess (from experience cough cough), that doesn‘t help much with figuring out how to make him stop having an episode.

(I feel the need to mention here that I believe in the popular(?) theory(?) that the bots have next to no idea what mental health/illness even is, let alone how to treat it when it gets bad)

Anyway, they just try to get all the fuel levels into a normal range as quickly as possible, after which everything is removed from Scatters immediately. This does get him to stop begging and screaming, but he‘s still crying, shaking violently and very obviously not all there yet. Bulkhead gets him off of the operating table they‘d had him on, and half pushes half carries him out of the medbay and just, outside, in an effort to get him to calm down somehow. I‘d imagine he‘d also be very overwhelmed in that moment and would like to get someone out there with him to help, but since he‘s the only one in team prime Scatters „tolerates“, doing that would probably just make things worse, so he endures. Scatters then starts clinging to Bulkhead‘s arm when he tries to pull away, mumbling both to and about his dead lover until he eventually becomes fully aware of his surroundings again, pulls away and stares at Bulkhead for a solid minute before saying the classic „if you tell anyone about this I will make you swallow your own wrecking ball istg“ and running away to have the rest of his „moment“ somewhere else alone.

So yeah the post I reblogged just reminded me of the medical torture flashback thing, because calling out for help at all, let alone screaming, begging, crying… physical touch that isn’t violent… opening up like that in general, aren‘t really things that Scatters does. He‘s the „I hate every form of intimacy and emotional honesty and would literally rather perish than let anyone know how I feel, why I feel that way or let them help me with my troubles. Fuck you, die.“ kind of person.

I hate him he‘s so terrible he‘s suffering he‘s so unwell someone get this bitch a therapist please someone kill him actually it‘s fine he gets better by the end of everything hahahhaahaaaa.

(I just accidentally deleted the entire paragraph about how his obsession with and unhealthy idolising of his dead lover are like,, core parts of his character and how everything links back to that and how his entire arc is about learning to accept that guy‘s death and how to be his own person again and not tying every action to „what would he want? What would he have done?“ and letting go and not acting like his life is completely over whenever he gets reminded of everyone‘s mortality and letting himself love other people and not feeling guilty about it and and and and- basically I‘m pissed I deleted that and can‘t get it back and that THIS is the only substitute I can come up with. Kill me.)

(Oh also there‘s smth about letting himself feel other things again cause like hate and longing are pretty much the only things he‘s felt for like 1 million years so yh I really shouldn‘t have named him Scatterbrain of all things huh cause the one thing he is is singleminded (and unable to let go of one thing/person). Oh well.)

Ok this was all really really long and unnecessary I hope your brain isn‘t melting out of your ears. I certainlydid tell you more though haha…´:]

[hoghtastic]

Some of the comments here belong more in a private Instagram group chat 😂😅 Especially when we talk about her looks! It just makes us look jealous and petty. And the master manipulator will use that in her favour at some point. In Denmark, physical beauty has a different value. The average-looking women is considered more beautiful than in other countries. Body positivity is real in Denmark. Imagine how incredibly easy it will be for Johanne to play victim and how Danish women will sympathise with her. We will be Alex jealous crazy fans tearing a poor woman apart. Every one of her posts and stories are criticised here, even crochet hooks are interpreted as an innuendo. Please don't get me wrong, I know why people think that way about her, she's a psychopath. But I know that sooner or later the selfie-cow will take advantage of this blog. Last year she managed to collect all of his friends, that haven’t followed her within a few days for a private Instagram account, and just because of a few 🙄 emojis. We have two three solid things against her, the art theft, multiple lies and so on but even the fan accounts are quiet 🤐 so we get no outside support.

I want to talk about her appearance too btw!!!!!! The difference between her own posts and unfiltered ones are insane but I‘d feel more comfortable to do that in a private groupchat not to give her the satisfaction of playing a victim. You’re blog is fun and this is just a friendly suggestion, maybe you offer a groupchat on Instagram for these type of conversations 😅 or other subjects. For example I‘ve heard some things about his sexual preferences but I‘d never share it on a public blog.

Hello, anon! 😃 First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this topic, and for the friendly suggestions!

I can totally understand your perspective, and I agree that some comments/opinions shared here are not the most political correct, but it has also been my goal to provide everyone a space with as much freedom as possible, where everyone can express all of their opinions, either positive or negative, and interact with each other even if the conversation sometimes gets a little off topic. I know doing this on a public blog might not always be ideal, but if anything, it shows a real picture of the fandom — the good side, the bad side and everything in between. Because if we feel the need to "hide" our thoughts (considering we're not harassing people directly, of course — that is something I personally do not condone), doesn't that denote some kind of censorship as well? Which was exactly what led me to start this blog in the first place — seeing fans being "attacked" by other fans on IG for having different opinions. From my perspective, having different opinions is a good thing, and if we can discuss them in a civil manner, we might actually learn something along the way, or consider things we hadn't before. I know I already have, in the few months of this blog's existence. 😊 Moreover, a public space is always easier to find for new fans who are just trying to gather some more info or get a perspective of the fandom, rather than private groups, who are usually kept among a more restricted group of people, and not always very welcoming towards newcomers. Besides, while I agree that a private group grants people more freedom to express their thoughts in a more unfiltered way and/or share more sensible information, there's also no guarantee that screenshots won't be taken and shared in other places, and it can be hard to know who did it in the first place, so privacy isn't 100% guaranteed, unfortunately. 😕

That said, if a group chat on Instagram (or another platform) is something you guys would like to have, I'm open to creating one as well. 😊 So just let me know what you think! 💖

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hi Nalyra

Absolutely loving your beautiful blog, your iwtv takes and your writing ❤️

I was wondering if you have any cute Loustat headcanons you'd like to share?

Hey dear!!

Aww thank you so much, so happy you like! 💕💕

And thank you so much for this ask, loved it though I DID have to think about it a bit 😅

Tbh, I have lots of headcanons, though most of the time they develop in my fics ;)) Some book spoilers based ones, too, I guess, and in no particular order!

I totally headcanon Louis LOVING to brush Lestat’s hair, because Lestat loves it, and actually gets quite… docile (all things considered ^^).

I think Louis, and especially this Louis likes to be seduced. It’s something he can tell himself it’s not his fault when it happens, I mean it’s Lestat, right, and I can just see him becoming a shivering mess with the right attention 😈

(Whenever they live together/are together) There’s never a shortage of new books or warm coats or new shoes, even though Lestat may bitch about it

Louis‘ playlist contains everything Lestat has ever composed or listened to (and he drives Armand insane with it)

The post Merrick Blood-exchange-circle is what Louis truly considers his birth to darkness (more meta than headcanon, probably)

Louis‘ reasoning for red pyjamas is because he loves Lestat’s little drinks (and it’s sometimes messy)

Louis recreates huge and artful and yet wild and beautiful gardens in the Auvergne

He and Lestat visit that bench Lestat dragged up into the mountains regularly to make out in moonlight

They both like sharing baths/showers, purely for skin-hunger/petting/caressing pleasures

They have hilarious (and intense) quickies when Claudia enters their lives (kids, I tell ya)

Louis is a/the main source of proper relationship between Lestat & Viktor because he keeps dragging them both out to plays and makes them talk etc

Louis also makes Armand and Lestat sit down properly (eventually), which… gets intense 😇

Lestat loves to dance, and Louis loves it more than he likes to admit

Louis „confiscates“ Lestat‘s old room in the Auvergne, refitting it for the two of them

Lestat takes Louis to the witches‘ place and where he killed the wolves

Louis thinks it cute that Lestat keeps confusing certain English/French terms, no matter how old he is

The real reason why Louis refuses to re-turn a human Lestat is because he knows he wouldn’t be able to stop, he wants him too much

Louis misses Lestat in higher-heeled shoes and privately curses modern fashion

Lestat mixes their own toothpaste (yes I do think they brush) with his own blood mixed for taste in and Louis only realizes that on the ship when he leaves with Claudia (ok this one is bittersweet)

Louis teases Lestat mercilessly in regards to that obnoxious Medusa ring

if and when they share a coffin it doesn’t matter where or when they are they just… are. And it’s beautiful.

Also some bittersweet (canon) things that live rent-free in my head

in the Prince Lestat era Lestat spies on Louis at Trinity Gate … but Louis was almost as strong as Lestat then. I always figured he must’ve known (or seen it in the minds of others). And he waited for Lestat to come to him (and Lestat eventually did, to Rue Royale after broadcasting to let Louis know to come there)

Louis dusting off Lestat and brushing Lestat’s hair in/post Memnoch. That’s actually canon, since David is embarrassed when he realizes they’ve both stopped doing that (in Merrick)😭

Louis knows Lestat needs emotional support and extends it, quietly, surely, holding his hand etc

Louis and Lestat steal away from the court to spend time alone in Paris (where Lestat has (always) rented hotel rooms😈)

Hope you like!! I‘d love to hear yours 🤗💕

[anantaru]

do you write everyday... i see you so many times in the tags and im genuinely impressed with how much writing you do 😭 if you can do you have any tips on how to be motivated to write ?

i don‘t actually! you see i‘m very busy during the day with my hobbies and friends etc. so the only time for me to properly write is at night! you could say i‘m a fast writer but that‘s also because the second i get an idea in my head (i‘m very creative during the night) i immediately write it and can‘t stop until it‘s finished. (I will sometimes write more fics during the night but it all depends on my motivation or on how tired i am!)

If you‘re asking me for tips i‘d say (under the cut):

number one: do not force yourself because it will always make you feel worse, i know that from myself like when i dont feel like writing i simply dont do it! just know even if you feel a bit motivated you do not have to write a whole fic, just brainstorm a few outlines and gradually write a fic. :)

number two: do not look at votes or compare yourself to others, i myself don‘t look at those things at all, meaning the reason i started this blog was because i was simply searching for a new creative outlet (and because heizou is so hot dude i had to write for him), idfc about any drama, any competitions or whatever is going on here.

But really quick: i‘m not saying that receiving likes/reblogs isn‘t nice, i‘m literally always getting so embarrassed and flustered whenever i see people like my writing or if they take their time to send me an ask like it just means so much to me i could honestly cry, and i couldn‘t be more thankful for that because that‘s also something what keeps me writing. - yet in the end: you should always write for yourself and never look at those things too much since in the end this is just tumblr, it‘s not reallife and that‘s good.

Last but not least: as long as you had a good time writing your piece of work, you did a great job! 💗

[dear-mrs-otome]

Hey Mrs. O! I‘ve been following your blog since ages and it‘s/you are still awesome! It always makes my day when I get notifications for new posts from you 🥰

This might be a bit of a strange question, but I was wondering, since I tend to like most Otomes you positively mentioned at one point or another: I am a lot into more mature and/or darker Otome games (Piofiore was a big favorite - but maybe I‘m also biased bc the artwork was really pretty).

I think you enjoyed VariBari and CupiPara. They seem both great but due to a lack of time for playing (only downside to having a toddler 😝) I really need to restrict what I buy/spend time on. So I‘m curious if they have a bit of a deeper story or are more on the RomCom side?

Oh and very important: I‘d Love to read more of your fave IkeGen scene translations!!!

Sorry for my bad English and any typos as English isn‘t my native tongue, autocorrect sucks and I got a toddler sleeping on top of me 😅

Have a great day ❤️

Hello laeliyah!! It absolutely makes my day to see familiar names pop up in my inbox - and yours definitely is 💕 Followers like you are every bit as awesome and I appreciate you!! (And your English is perfectly lovely)

I did enjoy Variable Barricade and Cupid Parasite a lot. But they definitely are on the lighter side of things, although they have their moments of angst and a little bit of deeper mythos in at least one route of CupiPara...just juxtaposed against some of the funniest most WTF moments I've read in otome. I would still recommend at least Cupid Parasite if you're open to that - it has the added benefit of being a bit spicier than your usual console otome as well, like Piofore can be.

For darker or more mature stuff, even though I haven't started it personally I know a lot of friends and reviewers are really enjoying Birushana. The MC is very strong and well-developed I hear, and there's equal emphasis on the plot/action and the romance...a lot of people have called it the much improved spiritual successor to Nightshade, which was another somewhat darker otome I enjoyed. It would have the added benefit of overlapping characters and time period with Ikemen Genjiden as well!

Best of luck to you with performing that all-important duty of toddler pillow 😘 And I will see what I can do about more IkeGen!

[emperorhulkling]

Not really a question, but I just found your blog and after scrolling through a lot of very wonderful posts I just have to thank you for agreeing with me that Tini Howard is the worst writer who ever did live. Now, I know you didn't come right out and say that, but I read between the lines. Worst. Writer. Ever. Keep her away from Billy and Teddy and any other character I enjoy. Also, please do not tell me that you don't think that she's the worst writer ever. I need this. Worst. Writer. Ever.

Hi :D I‘m glad you enjoy my blog and posts so much.

But, to get to your topic, I wouldn’t say that she‘s the worst writer ever. I don’t enjoy generalising and the worst writer is definitely JK Rowling as she is a shitty person.

What I will say though is that I personally think is that Tini Howard doesn’t understand Teddy and Billy at all. She did an okay job with Strikeforce but it has become evident in Wiccan&Hulkling that she doesn’t care. I almost could not get through the comic at first because Billy was a whiny child without any agency except wanting to have some alone time with Teddy and getting drunk. Similarly, she declares Billy as the weakest link in Strikeforce and that just makes me angry.

His character has so much depth and power and she just sacrifices all of that for champagne jokes. Ffs, he didn’t even want to help Teddy save their people because he wanted to bone.

A point of contention for me is also that in almost every story she writes with my two favourite boys, they always become opposites. Teddy is the absolute jock while Billy becomes more feminine. And there is nothing wrong with more feminine representations (that‘s why I am excited for the new gay superhero Somnus, revealed in Marvel‘s Voices Pride), I want them actually, but that is just not how Billy‘s character was realised and I love Billy as he is.

To sum up, I‘d be glad if she would never touch Billy and Teddy again.

I was told that some Stans allegedly think J reads this blog and some of her posts are intended to troll us. Apparently Stans find it enjoyable, because to them the fans who don’t like her are just jealous and haters anyway. And therefore J parading Alex, teasing and hinting isn’t that concerning but rather funny when we're angry or annoyed. OK.

First, let's assume she actually reads this blog and responds to criticism by posting his apartment and „unofficially“ officially says she moved in for example, like she did while he was in Paris. That would be a huge red flag for me. J has no reason to actively seek out and troll critical voices from the fandom in general. Her Instagram comments are positive. As far as I know, there were only 3-4 instances of fans writing something critical under her maaaaaany maaaany posts this year. And one fan asked her about the art she copied, that’s not critique or hate but just the truth exposed. Only three people or so from the 2.2m fans he had (mostly female) who criticized her publicly on IG, that’s almost nothing. It’s a very very mild reaction. Three people from the 2.2m fans are 0,000136%. (Even if it would be more it wouldn’t be a lot) And if anyone wants to talk about her DMs.

I personally don't care what happens in J's private messages. Firstly, she can set it up so that she doesn't see messages from people she doesn’t know personally and she doesn't have to read anything from followers she doesn't know personally anyway. Secondly, J could tell us anything, we ourselves can't look at her messages. So I don’t care. I care about what I can see and her public comments are all positive for her. I recall Stans excusing her „you snooze you…“ stunt with her responding to hate. Made no sense to me too. A : show me the shit storm she got that justified a revenge and B: what type of revenge is it to demonstrate your „power“ over the fans by demonstrating that she is in charge of Alex content? What type of character would do that?

Ok now we come to the fact that she wants to troll us with her stories. No, people, that sounds so stupid, I can't process it. Why should she? She has everything she wanted, right? She has a dream relationship with a man that is out of her league (my opinion) and her career is suddenly going places. If trolling us brings her joy, although she has a good life, she's a bad person period. And if I imagine that Stans celebrate that behavior, I find it disappointing too. For me, J's behavior is already pathological. She takes advantage of his fandom and Alex, takes over everything he has in high speed and triumphantly parades each step on social media but in a sneaky not too obvious way. But if I really believed that she posts certain things on social media specifically to make us angry or sad, I‘d additionally consider her evil. At the end of the day, we all love Alex, some more, others less. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, I think J will do him a lot of harm (in the grand scheme of things). That's why I'm not happy about them, but rather worried. And the Stans celebrating her trolling us would be weak of them in my opinion. 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Finally, I have to say I don't think she's reading this blog anyway. How would she know this blog? Most fans don’t even know about it.

I believe she is posting what she is posting because she's simply craving the attention she gets from the new followers and because they're all there because of Alex, she clings to him and his things like Gollum to his ring. As we could see, she had to claim his apartment publicly as her apartment because he was giving attention to his fans after a long time. She saw it on IG and she wasn’t involved. It bothered her. And one story wasn’t enough to show who’s boss but several stories in a row topped by a post reminding his fans that she was in Paris with him a year ago. I believe all the other pictures were just a pretense. I don’t think she came to this blog and saw some anonymous comments and therefore confirmed their living situation.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, anon, in a very well put manner. 😊 I absolutely agree with everything, especially that I also don't believe Johanne knows of or is reading the blog, and even if she was, to be bothered by and actively trolling a bunch of anonymous people on the internet would be kind of childish and I dare say plain sad, even for her. She's a public figure, she's put herself in a position that made some people dislike her, and she has to accept the fact that not everyone will adore her. No one is 100% liked by everyone and that's life. Which leads me to question, why are the stans bothered by this so much? Why do they automatically assume that those who don't like her are hateful and jealous? People are allowed to have an opinion, whether it's positive or negative, and shouldn't be afraid to share it or bullied for it. And that's exactly why this blog was created for, to grant everyone a safe, neutral space to voice their opinions. It was never meant to be a "hate blog" about Johanne, as some stans may see it, but the fact that most comments here are negative, in comparison to Instagram, where there's mostly praise, leads me to believe that people don't feel free to share them there, because everyone who dares disagree with them is automatically attacked and deemed a "hater", "not a true supporter", etc... Which is something I don't agree with. And the fact that the stans still stalk this blog and allegedly come up with such theories (that Johanne reads the blog and responds to criticism in a trolling manner), even finding them enjoyable and an adequate response, is in my opinion laughable to say the least. Why do they take personally what some anonymous people think about a person they support, but doesn't even know them? Why do they want everyone to love Johanne as much as they do? It was never that serious and personally, I couldn't care less that they love her so much. People are free to like or dislike whoever they want, so why don't they do the same? It reminds me of that saying about people with and without tattoos — "the only difference is that people with tattoos don't care if you don't have them".

But at the end of the day, Johanne is living her best life and we're all just a bunch of people commenting and gossiping for the fun of it. No one is going to hell for having a negative opinion, and no one will become her best friend or win a medal for adoring her and fighting every stranger online who doesn't like her. 🤷‍♀️ So yes, I'm an apologist for "live and let live" as long as we're all being respectful to one another, and can't really understand why the stans are always so serious about such matters.
