#just unfollowed someone for a probably petty reason

[felixschokehold]

I have strong opinions and an unfollow button I am not afraid to use

[nineparlor69]

Oh, boy...

I made a Sonic creepypasta. Please, do not unfollow. I finally built the courage to do this, so bear with me for a bit. Okay? Okay.

Behold, Sonic Mortem.

Sonic Mortem, part one.

It was a pretty fucking boring night as usual. I was just browsing through some cheesy horror games on a site I was on, none of them really catching my eye. I don't know if it was how bad it looked, or if it was something else, but a certain .exe game managed to catch my eye. The title: Sonek EXE. I don't know what it was about this specific shit heap of a game, but it seemed more interesting than others. By the looks of the screenshots, it was probably another bloody jumpscare-fest. But what the hell. I was really bored and needed something to do. So, I decided to download it. After it finished installing, I opened the game and gave it a try. It of course had stolen sprites from the original Sonic.exe game, and the gameplay was no different. Well, until I got to the part where you were supposed to play as Knuckles. For some reason, I was still stuck with Tails. Maybe the dev was too lazy to put in the other characters. I brushed it off as simple slacking, and continued playing. As I kept trying to get Tails to run to the right, I realized that this had been going on for a while without even getting anywhere. He was just running, and running, and running. I took my finger off of the key, but Tails wasn't stopping. Maybe the key was stuck. I tried pressing it a few times to get it to work again, but it didn't fix anything. I watched as Tails ran before he finally came to the end of the level. Tails stopped moving entirely. All of a sudden, my disc drive opened. It had a disc in it, which was weird because I didn't put a disc in it. Maybe my little sister Abby was messing around in my room again? I thought that was the case until I got a good look at the disc. Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I didn't own that game. Not physically, at least. What the hell was a disc of it doing in my house? It was all scratched up, though, so it wasn't like I could play it. I decided to look back at my monitor to see if anything had changed, and I really regretted doing so. On my screen was Tails, face pressed up against the screen and breathing like he was running out of air in his lungs. He had this look in his eye… Like he was watching me, like he knew me. If it was a simple trick the developer of the game put in to scare a player like me, I would have just seen it as a petty scare and moved on. But I couldn't explain the disc it somehow put in my drive. I glanced at the disc of Sonic 2 in my hands, looking at the scratches. They looked like claw marks, similar to a wild animal. Like a fox… I looked back at the monitor after hearing a loud thud, and Tails was gone. Instead, I was greeted by the bloody blue bastard just leaning against one of the tree sprites. I decided to try pressing a few keys like the space bar or arrows, but they did nothing. All I heard were the in-game footsteps or jumping noise. Like there was something invisible. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I got the sinking feeling that someone, or something was watching me. I looked around my room, panicking as I felt like I couldn't recognize my surroundings. Vibrant colors and dim furniture blurred into one as I took in my familiar bedroom's layout for the last time. I looked back at the computer once more, seeing words in red on the screen. "I SEE YOU, ALEX. JOIN ME." And it all went to black. Now I wait. I wait for someone else to find me and set me free. Won't you come let me out, dear reader?

Sonic Mortem, Part two.

(Trigger Warning for gore!)

It was a pretty great day. Things were finally looking up for me. I got a sweet new house that had tons of room, and there was even a fully furnished gaming room.

I decided to unwind after all of the unpacking I did a few days prior by playing some video games from that old room, ready to play something really good. But, there wasn't much of anything. It was mostly some old retro games like Sonic or Metroid. Sure, they were good, but not quite what I was looking for.

I hopped on the old computer in the room, taking a look through all the old games on it. There were tons I really loved playing, and even a few others I've never played before.

I noticed a really odd game, a game called "Sonic Mortem". Probably an old STH2 ROM hack. I booted it up, met with a kick-ass title sequence. It didn't say who the devs were, though... The game started, and I realized that this was just another cheesy .exe game. But hey, maybe it wasn't going to be so bad.

Of course, I got through the classic Tails bit, getting that shithead fox killed and moving on to the real good stuff with Knuckles. But... Knuckles wasn't there. It was Tails. Again.

I kept playing, thinking that maybe the game would get better. I wasn't paying attention, and I soon realized that Tails was moving at break-neck speeds. I didn't see much from how fast Tails was going, but he seemed to have ran over and crushed something red. Oh, no. I went towards the right, shocked to see blood, bone, and brain splattered all across the floor. And there, laying in a big puddle of blood, was the headless corpse of Knuckles the Echidna. It looked so real, too...

A pop up appeared on screen, Tail's smirking mug plastered on it. I heard a voice. It wasn't demonic and low, though. It was synthetic and high. And what it said shook me.

"I'll be straightforward with you. I'm no god or spirit. I AM THE GAME. But I'm also the player. Do you know why, Tray? It's because I played YOU. And I'm going to keep toying with you for as long as you live. But of course you'd want to know why. Why I killed Knuckles. Why I'll never leave you be. Because it's FUN. And it was fun with that coward Alex, as well. I'll see you soon..."

the screen turned off, and the disc drive opened. Instead of a disc there, there was a newspaper. I picked it up, and immediately recognized it. It was the article about a boy about my age who went missing a while ago. Was this a threat?

I tried to go to bed, to forget what just happened, but it wouldn't let me sleep. It STILL won't let me sleep. I can hear something under the floorboards, scratching and scratching nonstop.

scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching

I saw someone on the bird website point out that just because people disagree with a fellow fan doesn't give them the right to bully or harass said fan, especially in such cruel ways (they were body shaming a well known Overwatch person because she shared a selfie, and the hate originated from her opinions on the character).

It's been driving me crazy how people somehow forgot you can disagree with someone's opinions without being an asshole. Why do we condemn bigotry or cruelty when it's directed at our friends, but hurl it out ourselves when opportunity arises to bash someone we dislike? It just makes me so sad.

This isn't about a specific situation but it's a problem i've noticed over the years. I have been both a perpetrator and a victim of this (if I said otherwise, I'd be a liar. I've been on the internet since I was 10 and have been active in multiple fandoms), but I don't want to contribute whatsoever to that type of environment anymore. We have to talk the talk and walk the walk with this one, or we will continue to be miserable. If you dislike something or someone, either communicate if this person is supposed to matter to you or vice versa, or just block them, mute them, unfollow them. Whichever suits your comfort level for whatever the situation may be. If you hate something or someone but still proceed to follow them, check their profile, and grab screenshots or QRTs to make fun of them, whether with petty jabs or actual bigotry and cruelty, you are not only making other people into targets. You are sending yourself into a spiral that will only harm you in the long run.

I know how addicting social media can be. I know how the instant gratuitous relief can feel when you vent about something within an echo chamber. And I don't think the answer is just don't vent, don't misconstrue my words. I think the answer is does this make you happy? I don't think this type of habit makes anyone happy. I know sometimes people change, and I really hope people can and do.

I don't say this as an accusation or to be mean myself, I say this as someone who suffered on my own end, not only from taking the brunt of harassment but also from indulging it on occasion. I used to be horrible about this type of fixation on things I hated within fandom during my prime days in my earliest tumblr fandoms, and I nearly fell into this trap again over the past few years. My irl situation was entering a state of despair, and during those times, without anyone trustworthy that shared these spaces with me and that knew me well in return, fandom felt like the one place where I had a semblance of control. That doesn't excuse belittling people. It never does. A reason is not justification.

It's a special type of hell, for example from my personal experience, to receive dozens of suibait anons about fanfic you published, whether it was from things I left blatantly tagged and easily avoidable, over my writing not being as good as others' within these spaces, or because people admitted they were envious of something outside of my control. Or people making fun of my cosplay photos or treating me as an object to be sexualized, no matter who they were or how they identified. I had old Retrospring anons sent that exploited my vulnerability regarding events only certain groups knew about, trying me during my worst of times. When I vaguely discussed them on other websites, without sharing things being said to protect myself and to not spread drama, I was largely told I was overreacting and to just delete them. Which I did, but they kept coming. I deleted anonymous ways of contacting me and closed off most forms of contact with fandoms other than a few long running places I've known for years (thank you WWD crew you guys are the GOAT). But even so. If I didn't have the person who is now my wife there for me at the right time, I probably wouldn't be here right now. Not everyone experiencing this type of thing has anyone there for them at all.

I have a tendency to ramble, so I'll summarize here: the only type of toxicity that will ever bring people joy is toxic yaoi, toxic yuri, Toxic by Britney Spears, and the Toxic TM from Pokemon. I want to get better myself, and I'm posting this because I hope for the best for anyone who read this. If you disagree with me for this, that's okay too. If you don't think this applies to you, it might not! I don't know you. None of us know each other, which I think should be further incentive to be kind, instead of ample opportunity to be mean. If you have the choice, strive to be kind over the escapism that brings us joy. For some of us, this will be the only kindness we may ever know.

🚩 🚩🚩TEA. SPILL. NOW.

send me a 🚩 and i'll share my unpopular rpc opinions and hot takes. || accepting

oof ya'll we are in for it now. it's time... for puffin's hot take on softblocking. because yes I am and always will be salty about this shit, come fucking fight me and my anxiety-ridden existence.

firstly. I softblock inactive and archived blogs. I think that's chill. but I also always say I'm doing that, so in the event I accidentally softblock someone I didn't mean to and they check my blog like ??? they'll see that post and be like ah okay, it was a mistake.

now. for the love of fuck, why do people say they softblock when unfollowing folks in their rules but also state they do not want to be contacted if they unfollow you ? this is why I have anxiety. like, if you're gonna get offended every time someone messages you to make sure it wasn't an accident or glitch just block people.

and yeah, that is probably where 90% of my anxiety comes from, and why I struggle to reach out to people. because me, popping into someones DMs to make sure it wasn't a mistake gave them the ick and they decide to vague about me or block me anyway. grow the fuck up. and stop assuming the worst about people !

because you know what ? your self-righteous "ew don't talk to me after cutting you off" like tumblr isn't a glitching hellsite / mobile tumblr isn't an accidental thumb-swish away from deleting your blog is not friendly to your neurodivergent followers who struggle to understand situations and approach people.

because being disgusted by someone's genuine concern is shitty. if I come to you like, hey... it's because I noticed, and it mattered to me, and I managed to overcome the anxiety telling me everyone secretly hates me. you being rude about it isn't sexy, and it isn't cool. like, good for you. you're no longer being haunted by my lame ass.

listen. I understand that anxiety exists, obviously. but if that whole situation up top gives you anxiety then you should just block people. and also, if you are softblocking folks but aren't comfortable with them contacting you about it ??? copypastas bitch. a simple "hey, thanks for reaching out ! I did mean to softblock you, nothing personal, just please don't contact me anymore or follow me." goes a long fucking way, because if they then choose to keep pushing it ? you've set your boundaries, they're the asshole now, not you.

because the sentiment I see a lot is "I don't owe you an explanation" and I agree with that 10,000% !! do not come to me asking about why I blocked you or your friend or whatever else, I will not tell you, I do not have to tell you. but re: the copypasta I provided above ? no reasons, just facts. the only explanation you do owe someone is a clarification of the situation, aka setting your boundaries. no one needs to know why those boundaries are being set, in fact I fucking applaud you for setting them, but you do need to communicate that those boundaries are there.

SOFTBLOCKING ISNT ENFORCING A CLEAR BOUNDARY. softblocking is a petty ass way to rid yourself of someone. the metaphor I often see used is its the equivalent of scooping up a spider in your house on a piece of paper and putting it outside. I don't know about ya'll, but when I'm removing a critter from my home that I do not want in it I am actively talking to it and explaining the situation, even if it doesn't understand me, because I want it to know I mean it no harm and please don't come back. guys, no fucking joke, I wished a wasp a merry fucking christmas when I had to remove it from my house because I felt so bad my cat had been torturing it. wasps probably don't celebrate christmas !

point being, I communicate my boundaries to the spiders I'm taking out of my house like they're going to respect them. ya'll should do the fucking same. grow up. we all have anxiety. we all struggle to understand and accept certain social environments and interactions, especially online. we're all doing our best.

don't be a fucking asshole if you softblock someone and they want to make sure it was purposeful. in fact, don't be an asshole to anyone. there is no valid reason to be an asshole to anyone in the rpc, jfc.

also yes, if you softblock me I will block you, because I do not have the mental endurance to deal with the "they hate me" monologue spiraling through my silly little brain. because too many times I have experienced scorn and disgust and hate at being reached out to about softblocking and that has cemented in my brain, more than the anxiety it was a mistake. like just fucking block me, then.

so like. either don't softblock folks or grow up and communicate your boundaries, idk. and don't be an asshole, as previously stated.

this probably doesn't make any sense and has errors in logic / rationale but it's my anxious, frustrated ramblings so fuck it

final thoughts: please don't softblock me ! thanks

Sarah didn’t “win” anything ??? Having a baby is a choice on both sides of the parties involved. Brendon said in the Sirius XM interview that over the pandemic he took a step back and evaluated his title and job (if he’s just a celebrity, a face, etc…) vs. his personal life and that most likely involved discussing the prospect of getting older and wanting children with Sarah. Things change and people change their minds all the time. This is such a big sacrifice for everyone and Brendon is the only one who chose to focus on family full time. Some artists can handle both, but the schedule of touring takes away so much time from his family. Tbh I think he deserves this time away. He’s been working since he was seventeen years old. And with the way the world has been sending him so much hate for the past two years, his family deserves this privacy and peace. I know it’s painful and you’re allowed to feel upset about Panic! disbanding, but it’s not like Sarah was planning all of this/doing this on purpose.

First of all: if this is you, you probably should just unfollow me now. Maybe I’m reading condescending and scolding tones where they don’t exist because I’m upset, but I have two fucking masters degrees in the English language. I’m pretty fucking good at picking up what someone is saying through writing.

Obviously I think he deserves time away, I have always advocated for him taking time for his mental health, but this isn’t time away, this is the end. Maybe he’ll change his mind, maybe he’ll come back, but why would he? I’m equally livid about how people have treated him. He’s been driven away. I’m heartbroken at how he’s been treated and his well-being and happiness are always my top concerns. If you don’t know that about me, you must be new here.

Oh and don’t worry— I fully comprehend how having a child is mutual choice and people can change their minds. And yeah, obviously this whole thing wasn’t some big scheme Sarah had; that’s batshit. But reposting something that she has to know caused so much pain with a heart was a deliberate choice. We were blindsided with loss and the true fans are grieving because it’s not unreasonable to assume we’ll never see him again. He’s incredibly protective of his family; I’ve always admired that about him and respected him for it. Part of why I love him is his devotion to Sarah. So he’s going to be just as protective of his child, understandably and as he should be, and what reason would he have to do anything for us? Panic is done. He’s focusing his energy on his family. We’ve lost him. He’s gone. All of that, and she fucking loved that shit. Literally. The nicest interpretation of it is that her post was insensitive and badly timed.

Ultimately, I have very mixed feelings, because on the one hand, yeah she’s probably getting a ton of undeserved hate right now and she’s allowed to be a little petty and celebrate. Of course she should celebrate. Her husband, the father of her child, is making a very public choice, and he chose her. On the other, it still fucking hurts, and I’m. allowed. to. be. upset. I lost someone I genuinely love. I have been in his corner since fucking 2007; that man has gotten me through some of the worst moments of my life. And he is gone.

Don’t bother replying.

I’m just going to delete it.

[littleapocalypsekitten]

A part of me actually wants some kind of notification of Blocking feature (not Unfollow, but Block), just for the sake of me not wasting my time trying to reblog something to one of my sideblogs only to be hit with a red warning and a side of "WTF did I do?" Obviously, if your main is blocked, you don't see that blog, but I have fandom sideblogs whereby there are people who know me only on those names but not on my main name and I've run into a few "You cannot reblog this" things. I've even occasionally run into this on my main when I've seen curation blogs I follow reblog a thing from someone who apparently has blocked me. I have a little trick whereby I will go into the Replies and look at the drop-down menu to see if any of my blogs are washed out - that tells you "this sideblog is blocked." There's a huge frustrated part of me that wonders why some people will block a particular fandom sideblog of mine - like "did I say something to upset them?" and I get self-conscious about it. And then I have to remind myself that some people block for very petty reasons (like that one person who blocked a roleplay-askblog of mine, which contains absolutely 0 discourse, probably because they don't like rp blogs). Still, others, it's like "Do I even know you?" So, knowing what the last straw was? Might be useful in either improving my blogs.... or just saying BURN IT ALL DOWN, WHAHAAHAHAHA! Definitely a drama-starter, though. The real name, address and such... *shudder.* My experience in the She-Ra fandom tells me that there ABSOLUTELY ARE people who would show up to your house to burn it or to beat you senseless for liking a character or ship they don't like or disagreeing with a popular headcanon.

Feature ideas I have to make tumblr worse

Unfollow notifications. When someone unfollows you, you receive a notification about it. The notification includes the last post of yours that the unfollower saw so you know what the final straw was.

If the unfollower was a mutual then this notification comes with stats about how long you were mutuals and a list of comutuals who have to pick sides in the divorce. The comutuals receive this notification too

Ability to edit other people's replies.

Ability to edit other people's blog themes.

The ability to gift debuffs like those cooking competition shows. Pay $15 to make someone you hate only be allowed to post 20 times a day. Pay $30 and they can only make posts out of the set of pre-approved family-friendly message options like the Webkinz chatroom.

De-blaze. Halt someone else's post right in its tracks by removing all impressions. The more a post is circulating the more expensive this is.

30 Day Trial Follows. When you follow someone you can't unfollow them for at least 30 days because c'mon, don't you wanna at least give them a chance?

Obligatory "Tumblr houses". You have to act really really excited for the yearly sportsball tournament or risk being shadowbanned. Your blog is forcibly themed after your Tumblr house.

Obligatory name, face, and address when you sign up. This isn't for verification or anything this is explicitly for doxxing. Hopefully you'll think twice about posting your rancid My Little Pony take now that you know the whole fandom can be at your doorstep in an hour.

GUIDELINES

Here's a warning before you roleplay with me! Not following these rules can and will lead to me unfollowing you. These are rules for a reason meaning they are to be followed as such. Don't like something I say? Delete me! Your negative comments have no effect here, only consequence. Plenty of other role-players, you can follow and roleplay with instead. It’s all about fun! So let’s make the most of it! I don’t like to be miserable, and I would never purposely make anyone else upset or miserable either. So, let’s have fun.

Make sure you read all G U I D E L I N E S and i n f o r m a t i o n accordingly before you interact with my muses

A HEADS UP ABOUT THE CHARACTER

My muses will probably come off as sarcastic with a bit of a feisty attitude but when you get close to them you will learn that they aint all that bad, that they can be quite a sweetheart. Sometimes they are more of a talker than a listener and sometimes they are more of a listener than a talker. They value friendship and loyalty — They'd do mostly anything for someone they truly love. They're not afraid to take chances or go off on their own. They'll go off in a direction and try something completely wrong and learn their lesson. They pretty much like to keep their life private, so that means their relationship and their feelings are private, unless your personally close them! Most of them believe in love but it takes a real special person to catch their interest and keep it long enough for it to ever blossom into something more than just a crush. Their family and friends are the ones they trust with their life. If they choose to trust you, that is a huge thing. If they allow you into their heart? That’s even bigger.

None of my muses fall in love so easily but there are rare times when they can fall in love easily but when they are falling in love, they will most likely wait til the right time to tell you that they are. They will occasionally say ‘I love you’ to remind you that they do love you more than anything in this world. But if you break their heart, they will never trust you again or it will take longer to gain their trust this time than the first time around, only because they'll have a hard time trusting after getting hurt. They may get their moments when they get jealous, but they won't admit it because they find it such a silly thing, but it just means they are scared of losing you cause they love you more than anything.

QUICK FACTS

I am not exclusive, but I am extremely selective and semi-private, so I reserve the right to deny any interaction between our muses. It has nothing to do with you, it’s about my comfort level. But most of the time I am usually very open to roleplaying with anyone unless I have reasons for not wanting to roleplay with someone.

NO OUT OF CHARACTER DRAMA

Important! I absolutely will not tolerate any ooc drama whatsoever. I come on here to have fun and roleplay and meet new people, I’m not here for all of the petty drama that comes along with roleplaying sometimes. I don’t care to start drama but if you start drama with me, then I promise it's not going to end pretty, and you may regret it. It's a fast way to get yourself blocked. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean in character drama isn't allowed, in character drama is definitely allowed.

NO GOD-MODDING

This is roleplaying essentials! Unless I’ve given you permission, I don’t want you to use my characters and do things with them that I haven’t given the okay to. Which means you need to understand that I am the one in control of them, not you so just don't try to control my muses and do not kill them. God-mod is never okay to do so please don’t do it here.

RELATIONSHIPS & SHIPPING

This blog Is Multiship/Multiverse! This means that they will have more than one relationship/plot going at a time. This does not mean any one of them is cheating on anyone, unless we discussed it beforehand. If you’re unsure of what this entirely consists of, please google it before trying to get into it. I just want to make sure you’re informed. Don’t force a ship down my or my muse’s throat! That’s absolutely not cool and fucking rude, so just don’t do it. If you force a ship upon my muse and me, I will not be accountable for my muse's actions towards your muse. However, I will not allow them to kill yours, I'm not that rude. The only thing I will let them do is to be a dick towards yours. It will inadvertently lead to you being blocked; I will not apologize because you are the one who broke the rules. I ship based on chemistry. Don’t assume we are shipping without talking to me. Just because my muse kissed, had sex, or flirted with yours doesn’t mean we are in a serious ship.

Their relationship upon interaction unless plotted out is single which means they are currently unattached. I’m completely fine with pre-established ships if properly discussed beforehand. 

I WRITE SMUT BUT YOU MUST BE OF A CERTAIN AGE TO WRITE SMUT WITH ME

Yes, I do write smut paras and posts, yes sometimes I'll post smutty pictures. However, I will not place them under read more, just because I shouldn’t have to. I'm sorry but if you have a problem with this then just don’t read my posts, it's that simple. I will always try my best to make sure I tag them NSFW, no promises tho cause shit happens and I may forget. You need to be 18+ in order to write smut with me, why? Because I’m in my twenties, which makes me a legal adult and I’m not going to jail if your mom or whoever is legal guardian of you finds our paras. It will fade to black before it even heads in that direction if you are younger than 18. Also, if you are legal age and uncomfortable with writing smut then we can make it fade to black, I have no problem with that. Smut however may be a rare thing that happens because the mun is very shy and inexperienced in that area. I will however try my best if and when it happens but if it sucks then I am sorry, I just don’t want to make promises or forbid it at all so I’m just gonna keep it at a rare thing because it can happen if threads lead in that direction or if a meme is sent or received.

The tag is:  ✪↬ɪ ωαѕ ʟᴏᴏᴋɪɴɢ ғᴏʀ ɢᴏᴅ ʙᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴠɪʟ′ѕ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴍʏ ѕᴛʏʟᴇ ᴛᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ↫✪ ✘Trick or Treat✘

FAMILY

Please don't claim you are a relative of my muse unless you talk to me about it first. Only because I’d like to discuss their possible dynamic before jumping right into it, unless you know it’s a legit canon relative then that’s fine. Also, I’m not against anyone making OCs that are related to mine if talked about beforehand. Again nothing against it, just want to work out their dynamic and history with each other first.

INTERACTING

I will never ignore you! If you sent me a message or an ask, tagged me into something, or replied to something and I don’t reply? It’s mostly because Tumblr is being a douchebag and ate it. Honestly if we have a thread and I haven’t replied to it, and it's been quite a while. Please message me because more than likely I didn't see the reply, got distracted and forgot it, or I lost it. But there is a good chance that it is in my drafts, it just don't have the muse to figure out a reply just yet, my mood just isn't there, I'm distracted with other things, or I'm just busy. If you decide you want to drop something between our characters, for whatever reason, please let me know, don’t just disappear and/or ignore me because I will assume the worst, so yeah please tell me. I won’t get upset, I will respect your reasoning behind it, and I’d like to know rather than being left hanging.

MEMES

I am not a meme source! Do not reblog a meme from me, reblog it from the source! The only time, I’ll be okay with it is if the source no longer exists. If you keep using me as a meme source then I’ll soft block you, simple as that. With that being said, if I post a meme, please don’t be scared to send one in. Even if we haven’t interacted yet or if we already have other threads. Send as many as you like as well. I don’t care if we have to skip ahead or a bit behind in the timeline, let's just build the story of our muses.

POSTS

In order for me to even consider following you, you need to cut your posts. This is my biggest pet peeve, and I really don’t want my dash to be a clutter fuck. If you’re entirely unsure of how to do so, please google it, I don’t want to be rude I just want to make sure you’re informed.

ASKS

For my sanity, I will be moving all asks onto a new post when answering them then linking the post within the ask itself. That way if you want to turn it into a thread, you don’t have to move it to a new post yourself. Which you are always welcome to turn ask replies into threads.

REBLOGS

Do not reblog musings, public service announcements, photos, etc. from me, reblog it from the source! The only time, I’ll be okay with it is if the source no longer exists or I am the actual source or if I legit tagged/mentioned you in the post. If you keep using me as a source then I’ll soft block you, simple as that.

REPLY SPEED

If I reply to certain threads faster than yours, it's nothing personal, it's just sometimes I only have muse for certain threads. I promise I’ll reply to our thread when I have muse for it til then it will be sitting in my drafts, unless I lost it or eventually ended up dropping it cause I had no muse for it. If I do drop it, I’ll try to let you know. And if it’s been a bit between replies I may ask if you received my reply or replied to our thread to see if it was lost. But because it's sorta hard for me to ask since I worry about annoying you, it’ll definitely take me a bit to ask. 

A REQUEST

Right, for the sake of my anxiety and so I won’t eventually assume the worst. All I have to ask of you, is if you saw the reply to either a thread or ask then can you like it? You can unlike it afterwards, I just never know. And which how Tumblr can be at times, it’s better safe than sorry. I’ll do the same, if you want. Just let me know.

DISCLAIMER

I do not own any of the Icons or gifs I use, unless stated otherwise. However I do own the headers I use so do not steal them. 

I am a CANON-DIVERGENT blog

I do not claim to be any of the muses I portray nor will I ever!

I am duplicate friendly, crossover friendly, oc friendly, au friendly, multi friendly.

This is an Anti-JKR blog

A NOTE FROM THE MUN

I suffer from depression, anxiety, adhd, bipolar/mood disorders, and a few other things. So if I disappear without warning or take forever replying to things even though I'm around, I'm truly sorry. Sometimes my mood is just not there, or I get distracted, I try my hardest to get things done in a timely manner but unfortunately sometimes I just can't. Just know that it has nothing to do with you, that I appreciate your patience and understanding.

A LITTLE NOTE

If you want to submit something to my muse or me, you'll have to put /SUBMIT at the end of my URL to do so.

I will never ever send anyone any hate messages since that is very immature, I only send adorable messages to try to make one smile but it’s very seldom that I send anything because I am a bundle of nerves and shy as fuck haha.

Oh, just a heads up, if you are looking for my muses' bio then all you have to do is CLICK their name.

JUST FOR YOUR INFO

This is a BILLY HARGROVE hate free blog. Any hate on him will not be tolerated at all. I don't condone his actions, but I do believe in second chances. And I solely believe his father is to blame for most of it. So if you are an anti-Billy Hargrove blog then kindly fuck off, you are not welcome here. I will cherish and adore him all I want; I will interact with whoever I bloody want.

DNI

While I absolutely hate DNI lists, this unfortunately has to be done.

Minors DNI

Haters DNI

Also as far as DNI lists are concerned, I don’t believe in them when it comes to ACTUAL people. I should be able to write with whomever I want, make my own judgments. If you don’t want to see certain people on your dash then block them and move on, blacklist their tag. But don’t be a child about it. I mean like realistically you can still interact with people who interacts with peeps on ya don’t like lists, don’t punish them for no reason. If ya aint cool with that, then it’s been nice to know ya, I guess.

BANNED FACECLAIMS

Right, sorry but not sorry because I unfortunately have to do this for my own comfort. But let me start with this, just because you write a certain muse, doesn't mean that I won't write with them, I just won't ship with them unless discussed prior. Yet if they are in bold, I won't interact with them at all and if they are in italic, then it's a maybe on rather if I'll interact with them or not. There will be some exceptions to this if I am comfortable with you as a writing partner and friend.

TRIGGERS

I don’t have many triggers but there are certain things I’d personally wish not to see. 

Also, I will tag any triggers, if asked.

The tag to block is: ✪↬ωᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: ᴛʜɪѕ ɪѕ ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴀ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅʏ ʜᴜʀʀɪᴄᴀɴᴇ↫✪ ✘Trigger Warning✘

[balemccn]

hello all!! this is an indie, private, & highly selective roleplay blog for arlecchino from genshin impact. on this post, you’ll find all relevant links/info for my blog.  i am completely caught up with the archon quest, so this blog will not be spoiler free (i will tag if i mention leaks, though). if i'm not here, you can find me on one of my other blogs: @impishsensei @fatuispolaris @blastintriumph @muryonokansei @yuujitheevessel 

please be sure to read my rules before interacting/following.

carrd || interest check (wip) || pinned credit

for ease of access, my rules are placed under the cut!

i will interact with mutuals only. if i follow you, i want to interact, so do not hesitate to send me asks or im me with plot ideas! i'm willing to roleplay with ocs, and characters from other series. for personal blogs: please do not follow/like/reblog my posts. doing so will result in an immediate block. i’m okay with one-liners, crack, multi-para, novella… everything! feel free to send in any ask memes if we haven’t roleplayed before. i’m duplicate friendly.

if i haven't replied in two weeks and i'm not on hiatus, that means i probably lost our thread or it’s sitting somewhere in my drafts and I haven’t noticed it, so please message me to remind me about it. i drop roleplays sometimes out of a loss of interest but please do not blame yourself. it is always a personal thing that has nothing to do with anyone else as a roleplayer. i’m always happy to start/write more regardless of dropping previous threads.

Don’t god mod. My character is mine, and yours is yours. Little things to move the thread along are fine with me, but don’t kill my muse without even checking if that’s fine with me first (ask memes that call for it are an exception though, of course).

where RP is concerned i heavily prioritize chemistry. for now, my blog is multi-ship, so any relationships my muse develops will take place in separate verses unless stated otherwise. that being said, although i absolutely love shipping, arlecchino is absolutely someone that's difficult to ship with because it's not romance is nowhere near her list of priorities... sooooo it'd require a lot of build-up and work.

DON'T involve me with drama OR send messages telling me to reblog callout posts or anything like that. i don't care for getting involved with petty roleplay drama. if it's something actually serious, i've already seen it on the dash and taken note. seriously, i will hardblock, anyone that pesters me with this nonsense.

There will be NSFW content on this blog so if you’re uncomfortable with that just blacklist the the following tags, as i tag all my nsfw posts with the following: “cw nsfw”, “nsfw //”, and “( nsfw. )”.  Feel free to ask me to tag anything you need tagged.  I am 27, so if a roleplay should ever come around to it I will only write smut with partners that are also of age & that I feel comfortable writing smut with. If you’d rather not roleplay smut publicly, I’m cool with continuing roleplays on discord. I’m also open to just private RPs (not necessarily smut) on discord too, just ask/lmk you’re interested!

Given that arlecchino is a morally gray character, I will not stray away from this nature of hers or soften it in the slightest. Even though she is a playable character in game and a friend to the traveler, she is still unapologetically a harbinger. i will approach writing her character with this mentality. Additionally, I will cover dark topics. There will be mentions of murder, blood/gore, toxic/unhealthy relationships and so on featured on my blog. I will of course tag what I feel needs to be tagged. 

I ask that minors DON’T follow my blog. I don’t want to be the reason anyone sees something inappropriate for their age. If you’re a minor & I accidentally followed you, let me know & I’ll unfollow you immediately.

independent & selective rebekah mikaelson from the cw's tvd universe. primarily focused around the originals + legacies. est. 2019. re 2024. loved by katy. (she/her. 30+/est.) those under 18? dni. medium to low activity

i'm just getting back into tumblr rp after being on a different platform. so please bear with me while i re-understand how to use this site & figure everything out!

rules under the cut!

01. i am selective, which means i prefer interacting with mutuals only. while i do not follow for follow, there's a high probability that i will follow back. the only reason i wouldn't follow back, is if i can't see our muses interacting or you're an oc and i can't find your about/rules page.

02. given the themes of tvd (and the supernatural genre as a whole), darker tones will be presented throughout this blog. please follow at your own leisure. this said, i will not be tagging blood, gore, language or violence. if these themes trigger you, please keep yourself safe and don't follow. i will do my best to tag the more important things though.

03. i am a turtle at replying. either you get a response in 24 hours or it takes me 3-6 business days or once every year. there's no helping it. sometimes the muse doesn't want to cooperate and i listen. i also do not have a particular order of how i respond. i am notorious for drafting literally everything. chances are, it's sitting there waiting for muse to strike. i promise, i'm not ignoring you.

04. i accept any length. i am a firm believer in quality over quantity. give me what you feel like writing. as long as you give me something to work with? i'm fine with it. i do prefer lengthier things (multi para, i very rarely do novella but i can). but i will accept para responses.

05. i am oc, duplicate and multimuse friendly. if you're an oc? please have an about somewhere i can easily find. if you're a multi? please try to specify muse. i know it can be difficult, but i'm an indecisive bitch, so i would appreciate it if you could help me out!

06. i ship chemistry and i am multiship. i don't often go out of my way to seek romance in threads. if it happens, it happens. i tend to focus more on the character development and the storyline. but if you're interested in shipping? please feel free to reach out. i would also prefer if we've interacted prior to asking.

07. i use small text and icons. i will occasionally bold and italicize words to emphasize what my muse is saying. you do not have to match my writing style. if you need me to fix my formatting to make it easier to read? please let me know in advance.

08. callout culture or drama is not welcome here. same goes for anon hate. i'm in my 30's, i've been rpin' for over a decade and i've seen it all. if it's something of utmost importants? such as warning the community of someone dangerous? and receipts are included? i will reblog. but i will not partake in petty he said/she said drama. please keep me out of it. there's too much negativity in the world already and i want this to be a nice, positive space for myself and my mutuals. if you have a problem with me? either unfollow me if you can't be civil? or come approach me and we can work it out.

[lunarmaden]

heya ✌️ i'm tav / fable, i'm 23 years old, my timezone is est, i've been in the rpc for ~10 years, and you could pour soup in my lap and i'd probably apologize to you. if the way these are worded makes me sound a little harsh, it isn't meant to come off that way!! i've just been in the rpc for too long to be vague or lenient. that said, a few rapid-fire rules before we get into the lengthier ones that actually need explaining:

— don't follow me if you're any sort of phobic towards any group of people. — mun =/= muse, i don't condone everything my muses do, you get the drill. — vagueposting / guiltposting is an instant block from me. it's not cute. we're all adults here, let's communicate and act like it. — don't rush me for replies, period. rushing me for a thread at all will result in me flat out dropping it.

[ 1 ] for blogs that i can’t see myself interacting with, i will soft block you to keep my followers clean. personal blogs will be hard blocked immediately unless a sideblog is attached to it and i can easily see that your personal blog is a hub. note that it will take me a little while sometimes to decide if i want to follow back. give me a few days at a minimum. do not unfollow and follow again and again to get my attention. i will just hard block you and call it a day.

[ 2 ] i'm neutral on callouts. if i see them and think the proof provided in it is actually valid, then i'll reblog it under my psa tag and leave it at that, no further discussion. it will not go under "drama tw" or anything of the sort, because if it's serious enough, it isn't petty drama. it's a genuine warning passed to other members of the community so they can make their own opinions about. that said, i also believe people can change. if there is proof of that, then i see no reason to hold past mistakes over someone's head.

[ 3 ] i will only write with 18+ muns. if you follow me and are a minor or your age is not listed clearly on your blog, i will soft block you immediately. do not lie to me about your age, you will be hard blocked if i find out.

on a similar but less serious note, i also don't follow if i can't immediately see an alias. just...kinda wanna know who i'm following, is all.

[ 4 ] i get that plotting is kinda important for some people!! however, rarely will i ever fully plot a thread, and i heavily prefer using memes to interact. now, plotting for the general vibe of the thread and dynamic between characters? absolutely!! but frankly, if i relied on completely plotting threads, i'd kill my creativity and get even less done than i already do. i'm here for a fun time, not a stressful and / or long time, so please be aware.

[ 5 ] speaking of relying on memes, send me several at a time! you're probably more likely to get a response if you give me variety to work with. if i get a meme i don't think i can work with, i'll probably send several back to you to make up for it. just so things don't feel lopsided or something.

[ 6 ] i am 23 and valynn is an adult ( even though elven ages are... a little weird ), so nsfw content is likely to show up here in some capacity. when it does, it'll be tagged as "nsfw //" ( or "suggestive //" if it's only implied ). however, i'm likely only going to write those topics with people i'm close to.

[ 7 ] anon hate is cringe, so if you send it, it won't get a response from me unless it's to make fun of you. at this point i expect most of us to know not to answer it seriously otherwise the sender is just being encouraged, so if i keep seeing it being answered / talked about on the dash ( unless it's being poked fun at ), i'm probably just going to soft block for my sake because. y'know, you didn't wanna get the negativity, i don't wanna see that negativity, etcetera.

on that note, untagged negativity will also lead to me unfollowing. untagged posts in general will lead to me unfollowing if it's a frequent thing, honestly.

[ 8 ] with how difficult tumblr has made it as of late to properly source things, i have become significantly more lenient when it comes to people reblogging memes and musings from me, as long as it isn't like several posts in a row. that said, i expect this understanding to be mutual. i'll always try to reblog from the source if i can, but if not, it'll just have to come from whoever slapped it on the dash.

[ 9 ] if you need something tagged, tell me! i’ll do my best to remember to tag what i need to, but please remind me if i happen to forget. the system i use is just "trigger //". now, if you use fancy tags for nsfw posts or posts that otherwise need a trigger warning and refuse to adjust if confronted about it, that's getting a hard block. it isn't difficult to be respectful of what people need tagged. the refusal to do so for your aesthetic is kinda fucked.

as for what i need tagged, all i ask is that visuals of sunflowers are tagged appropriately. i would also appreciate detailed mentions of terminal illness being tagged, specifically cancer, but that's more of a squick than a trigger, so that one is less of a problem.

[ 10 ] obligatory "let's just have fun" rule here. we're all on this hellsite to write our silly little guys, it really isn't that serious. just be decent, and we'll be chill!!

[dogwittaablog]

girl I love this blog cause now I can talk about this stuff. So the friend with the age gap relationship right him and his gf looked so in love and she was posting about their relationship every month like every month was an anniversary post story. And like she got a whole necklace with his initials and posted like 10 posts with him in it on ig. And like I’m pretty sure this dude was single for like 5/6 years before her and he posted her too which is a huge deal for guys to finally post a girl especially a guys who’s been single for that long. And he took her to his friends engagement party so everyone knew she was his girl too. And then randomly they unfollow each other, and he starts following a bunch of girls from probably dating apps and then after awhile she was also following new guys like I was like omg TEAAAA what happened they looked so in love like I thought it would last more than 4 months lol. Idk what this means but his friend either removed all his likes on her posts or there is a feature I don’t know about and she removed all his likes on her posts from being seen? Petty either way lol let me know who u think did it tho! Side note it was funny to me initially when he got with her because she thinks Nolan is super hot because she had a TikTok that’s now deleted with his younger sister (they used to be close I think) and it was like who has the hotter sibling and she pointed at his sister and made a 🥵 face, and then I think it was reciprocated at one point bc Nolan followed her and liked a bunch of her posts and thirst traps but then unfollowed her so I’m pretty sure there was some flirting but nothing came out of it. Makes me wonder if that’s the reason his sister unfollowed her and vice versa because they used to be like besties or at least super close. Modern dating is so weird because the chances of one of your bros having liked ur new girls thirst traps and having ig flirted with her in the past are so high lol. Anyways had to tell someone all this random info I’ve been storing haha

His bestie I stg is like an avid tinder/dating app user fhajdhsjsj. I wouldn't be surprised if it's easy to get his attention either... I actually thought they were together longer than 4 months. Pre sure they ended around September/October? So if you calculated it, it comes off like some short lived summer romance if anything. I'm not surprised either they both seem like they're in two different stages of life, and they'd have to do long distance to top it lol.

The whole removing likes thing I think could be cause either one of them is blocked. Petty? maybe, but it's not uncommon.

I think his little sister has dealt with a ton of people growing up talking about how hot her brother is, including her own friends, I don't think shes surprised or cares much at this point. He has followed his little sister's friends before.

I think he did find her attractive, but I don't think anything much was happening, cause she definitely wasn't and isn't the only one he was "thirst" following or liking either.

*Not every girl on his ig is just some thirst follow like we all think at times... he's followed people he's known in general but they're all taken that way just cause they're girls*

It's very common that most guys sometimes find the same girls attractive or want to go for the same ones, especially if they're local.

I think his sister and this person aren't friends anymore probably due to other factors and not off anything related to her brother, that's just me, but at the end of the day who knows.

(Idk if im tripping but I only figured they were dating pre much in there last month together, I didn't see any post of her on his feed. I only just saw him on her feed and a bunch of story highlights.)

[ 1 ] for blogs that i can’t see myself interacting with, i will soft block you to keep my followers clean. personal blogs will be hard blocked immediately unless a sideblog is attached to it and i can easily see that your personal blog is a hub. note that i rarely follow first ( unless you're someone i'm already comfortable with ), and it will take me a little while sometimes to decide if i want to follow back. give me a few days at a minimum. do not unfollow and follow again and again to get my attention. i will just hard block you and call it a day.

[ 2 ] i'm neutral on callouts. if i see them and think the proof provided in it is actually valid, then i'll reblog it under my psa tag and leave it at that, no further discussion. it will not go under "drama tw" or anything of the sort, because if it's serious enough, it isn't petty drama. it's a genuine warning passed to other members of the community so they can make their own opinions about. that said, i also believe people can change. if there is proof of that, then i see no reason to hold past mistakes over someone's head.

[ 3 ] i softblock liberally if i feel it necessary, but "necessary" never means i have a personal problem with you, promise. that's reserved for hardblocking, aka personals and the exceptions. on the off chance you think maybe tumblr has un-mutualized us because there was a rare glitch in this perfect website's code, feel free to follow again or even just ask me about it, i don't mind.

[ 4 ] i will only write with 18+ muns. if you follow me and are a minor or your age is not listed clearly on your blog, i will soft block you immediately. do not lie to me about your age, you will be hard blocked if i find out.

[ 7 ] when sending in memes, remember to specify who you want. if you don't specify or don't message me somehow to let me know who you want for that ask, it will not get answered.

[ 8 ] i'm not going to pretend like there aren't people who i will prioritize responses to. that's not me being "clique-y", that's me being comfortable with people i've known for ages. if you think otherwise or have that jealous roleplayer mindset, leave. leave so fast. yikes.

[ 9 ] i am 23 and all of my muses are adults, so nsfw content is likely to show up here in some capacity. when it does, it'll be tagged as "nsfw //" ( or "suggestive //" if it's only implied ). however, i'm likely only going to write those topics with people i'm close to, and even then, very rarely.

It's NOT that deep. I'm saying this with your thinkpieces on Conrad. & not about you being able to recognize reasonings & not like a character-but your relation you feel to that character is clear and is funny how you shut down other perspectives for anything as you probably do in life. Also, it's not that deep-seems to be ironic as you make it so deep with your opinions and proceed to get upset if others disagree.

When someone comes into my inbox and ends on “you’re an idiot” like you did (on anon, no less), I do in fact get annoyed and shut down their perspective, yes. I’ll even do it in life, too! Also, it’s not my job to make everyone that scrolls by feel good and understood when they read my thoughts. This is my personal blog that I use for fun, and if I post anything negative, I tag it appropriately so people who disagree with me can filter.

Be an adult and keep scrolling, unfollow, or block me if my posts irritate you so much. I don’t like Jeremiah, you do, and that’s fine (and I’ve had plenty of polite exchanges with Jeremiah fans in my inbox, by the way). Yes, I can’t comprehend not liking Conrad and this is literally a fan account for fictional characters, so clearly I am a very opinionated and biased person when it comes to the ones I like and dislike. I will write think pieces on my favorites if I want to. That seems like it should be common sense. It still doesn’t mean it’s that deep or that I have to like the same character the same way you do. And just because I don’t sit and write an essay of thoughts on a character I don’t particularly like, it doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on. I just don’t care to talk about it or waste my time analyzing it. I generally enjoy talking more about things I actually enjoy, which again, why wouldn’t I??

Also, this is a love triangle show. Half the fun is being a little petty. At least I’m not on anon in a random person’s inbox arguing with them about it.

[myimaginarywonderland]

Okay, this is the second time you reblog my post with takes I vehemently disagree with. The first time you did it, I sent you a message that you refused to reply to, you probably won't answer this one either. If you refuse to talk to me, but keep on reblogging my posts to criticize them, than I will block you. I understand people will and should disagree with me, I am open to discussions always, but the way you do it, is simply petty.

You have completely missed the point of what I was trying to say, you have twisted my words and my meaning, talking about things I didn't even mention. I wasn't "making Redbull the victims", I was actually questioning why Sky treats them the way it does, when no other team gets treated this harshly. I listen to Ted often unfortunately that's why I know that he was being incredibly underhanded and sarcastic with his remarks. I also in my years of listening to Sky don't remember them talking about Mercedes and Lewis like this when they were the ones dominating and winning, nor were they constantly bringing up other teams as their rivals. It was Redbull's launch, there was no reason to talk about Mercedes or who someone's best friend is, he could've talked about this man's achievement instead of his friendship with Lewis. There is no expectation of Redbull to talk about any team in particular, they are launching their car and talking about their new sponsors and partners.

All of your criticisms of my post are from what I can see based on the notion I am talking about fans, I am talking about international broadcasters, who have shown worrying levels of bias in how they conduct themselves when it comes to Redbull.

To be honest with you, I didn't refuse to answer, I simply forgot because of my exams and me just being me + the flood of notifications I got. I wanted to get back but it has just not been a priority of mine.

Please block me, I don't mind at all. In fact, if my opinion annoys you that much I encourage it. After all, the experience we have an Tumblr is whatever we want it to be and if that negativity is bothering you, then don't let it be part of that! This is not meant to sound patronising and I hope it doesn't come across that way. I have lost followers before, probably been blocked by many too for my opinions and that's complelty fine. I realise that not all negativity is tolerable and that it can be exhausting. He'll, I even had some mutuals I adored unfollow me because I was in such a rant about a driver that they deeply adored. I regret that since I have realised my hatred was mostly stupid but I understand them and I would probably have done the same.

Glad we both agree that words were twisted. If you didn't think you were making RedBull the viticim or that wasn't your intention that is one thing. However by singling out or making it seem like RedBull is the only team that has been affected by commentary bias you kind of fell into the easy mentality that I have seen many teams on F1blr where the victim mentality is so prominent.

I honestly think any other team would get the same treatment where they an actual threat to Mercedes. I think it has been easy on Ferrari this year since it was clear they were no threat even with the great car as they kept fucking up strategy etc.

I think it's normal that especially after 2021 it the focus will lie more on RedBull. I get that they are very borderline and out of the line with their comments sometimes but I don't think this is one of those times at all and I would argue that it has definitely been better this season.

I disagree about Ted but I guess people interpret tones of voices differently and without any specific comment or explicit mention whatever he might have been trying to do, we are both as wrong as we are right.

Oh no, I think there's a definite bias from the British media towards any threat to British drivers. Seb was literally so hated and still is quiet often by commentators such as Brundle.

I mean, the season is approaching, reporters want to stir up drama. It's literally what they do. They will keep digging about Mercedes and RedBull, it's their job. I agree that it's dismissive towards this man's accomplishments but any opportunity will be picked up.

Oh no, RedBull don't have to talk about anything but also, the not mentioning Mercedes bit might be mind games which teams are all great at playing.

I still think my point stands and I still think that a certain bias is normal. Commentators are also just human and will prefer one driver to another. They're human. And while I agree that there's borderline times, sometimes going into unprofessional but I still don't see this here or think it applies in this case

This is probably going to make people unfollow but w/e.

I really want to do a couple stories, especially one about Alice as a queen and Arthur as her twin brother, Duke of Wessex.

Buuuuut...

Part of my hesitance in joining in r*yal s*ms stuff is because I strongly disagree with some members of the community on how to feel about real life royalty--Pr*nce Ph*lip, for example. I already made a statement back after his death, but essentially: While I do feel it is important to be respectful of others, I cannot respect OR excuse people like him (and that includes most of the BRF). I’m glad he’s gone. It means there’s one less racist imperialist in the world and I am FINE with that. I’m not going to make excuses for a racist relative and I certainly won’t do it for one of the leeches siphoning money from our friends across the pond.

The other reason is my stance on historical representation of multiple socio-economic classes and how that relates to “accuracy.” In short: I have a major problem with people who complain about the “accuracy” of other people’s games but choose to ignore less than glamorous aspects of whatever era they’re particularly fond of. I’m not saying someone needs to put sl*very and s*xual *ssault in their game. I’m also not saying someone shouldn’t play/make CC/whatever for their specific interests. 

What I’m saying is, don’t throw stones while living in a glass house. If you’re going to complain about someone’s accuracy or lack thereof, why not help produce more CC that can reflect more about an era than the elite at the top? Because like it or not, that kind of behavior is hypocritical and historical revisionism and gatekeepy as hell to people who are new to historical fashion and culture. I’m just not down with that attitude. 

(EDIT: If you want to jive with that and you don’t think it’s wrong, honestly, you do you. I don’t want to tell anyone what they can/can’t do in-game. But keep it in your game/friends circle. Constant scrutiny and negativity are way more harmful than you might think. We were all brand new to our various interests at some point, and it wouldn’t kill someone to remember how that feels. As for me, I’m just saying I don’t want to put up with/engage with that.)

That’s part of why I’m trying to make an 18th century military campaign set, and why I’d like to make a catch-all 19th century one as well... despite the fact that I’m worried the sets will be flops because they’re not fancy/luxe enough. 

To be honest, I’m only posting about this because I really want to engage with different parts of this community. But I’m afraid to, because I’m really tired of petty bullshit. As an amateur historian, as a gamer and creator, I just want to vibe and make friends. And idk how to engage with the historical and/or royal parts of the community anymore.

🌴 I have a mutual who is really getting on my nerves lately but I've been made to feel like unfollowing them will probably cause a tantrum. They're well into their 30s and they're constantly having pity parties, complaining about something on the dash or, most annoyingly, going ape over anons. They got semi-popular in a short period of time and it seems to have gone to their head a little. They've started becoming insufferable. At first it was just one or two attention seeking posts but now *its constantly* and I think I'm seeing them transform into a toxic fandom personality.

The anons they lash out at are almost always obviously sent in good fun and with harmless intentions toward their muse, but this mun will make them out to be super malicious and throw an absolute fit about them, often claiming that the ask itself was extremely offensive to them personally and that they're shaken up to such an extent that they've been reduced to tears irl. Just to make sure everyone really gets the picture, the last time this was all because an anon referred to another muse their muse was interacting with as weird, clearly in the hopes of getting a reaction of some kind out of their muse. The mun went off completely, claiming they were crying irl and to never use "weird" as an insult toward anyone because they take that personally. It was just... Really next level and cringe worthy cause it was such a blatant overreaction.

They will then post about how they're turning anon off and make a big dramatic deal about it only to make a similarly dramatic deal about turning anon back on a few hours later, and 9 times out of 10 someone will send them another silly, fairly harmless ask and mun will make a point to be, what I imagine they think is a "badass, sassy bitch" and tell the anon off, while informing them something like "Just for that I'll be turning anon off again". Again this person is well into their 30s. This behaviour would be kinda cringe even for a teenager but its genuinely becoming so unbearable for me knowing how OLD this person is and how I would assume they're just a kid based on how they act if I didn't know their age.

It all started because at first they got what seemed to be genuine anon hate and myself and so many others in fandom flocked to defend them and cheer them up. Now *this* is an almost every day occurrence with them freaking out at pretty harmless anons and acting super dramatic about literally everything. They also caused drama between themselves and another mun for REALLY petty reasons which now has that poor mun on a DNI. (I guess they think they're the only person in the fandom allowed to be a bit dramatic and clingy now, other people do it and they'll DNI them and go on about how bad for their health they are, despite the other mun not actually doing anything bad outside of being a little bit annoying. Like pot, meet kettle. I've also noticed they like to do things to try draw attention to the DNI even though its such a minor, irrelevant thing. Like they'll mention the ship they were writing with the person they DNI'd and say something like "I really miss [x ship] but I'm really iffy about it now because ... Well, just look at my DNI"  stuff like that, and mind you, again, the DNI does not show the person DNI'd doing anything seriously wrong except being a bit annoying in discord, which is nothing this person wasn't and isn't ALSO doing. I've actually started to suspect that this person probably did something shitty to the DNI'd mun and decided to lash out first and DNI them to isolate them and punish them for seemingly setting a boundary. It wouldn't be the first time in the rpc someone has used a DNI just to isolate someone else for "revenge" over something stupid or to cover/hide *their own* bad behaviour toward the person DNI'd)

God, I'm just really hating seeing them and their antics on the dash and in the fandom but I feel like because we kind of "talk" and they def pay some type of attention to me that they will instantly know if I block or unfollow them and I don't think I can deal with the likely backlash from it. As of two days ago I've been doing my best to completely disengage with all of their content and I'm hoping they forget about me so I can *at least* get them off my dash in peace.
