#passive aggressive blogging

[azelmaandeponine]

Since the Gravity Falls fandom has trouble understanding the characters, I prepared a helpful chart.

man i am real sick of people seeing any complaints/criticisms about an adaptation, and taking that as a personal attack on them if they liked it. Just bc people don't like the thing you do, doesn't mean they're being hostile, or gatekeeping, or mean.

They do not need to justify not enjoying something, or to shut up so you never have to see negativity. If you do not like seeing people have opinions that aren't your own, it's on you to block them, not on them to not post how they feel about the latest big thing in the fandom they've probably been in for years, possibly decades.

have you seen bwagfeo

I find it really spineless and ridiculous when people (especially in Grishaverse fandom) post stuff like "There’s a certain account that I won't mention but they do and say this and this, and they completely misunderstood the characters because blah blah... I am this close to blocking their account they are so aggravating...". Ok, so block them?? Who are you trying to fool by faux politeness of not mentioning the blog's name but describing them in detail? If you feel the need to mention it, it means you want to publicly throw shade. And then you draw satisfaction from the comments guessing who it is like it's middle school. Not to mention distorting what they said to win yourself sympathy points and make your argument more plausible. We can post whatever we please on our blogs ofc, but if you disagree with someone, either have the guts to comment your opinion or block them. Or gossip in a group chat, whatever. I don't understand these kind of posts because this is a hellsite and the odds of you interacting with them are low. They probably don't come on your side of the fandom anyway. This isn't a southern country club where you try to conceal your thinly veiled disdain. It's about fictional characters for goodness' sake, let people have their opinions!

please stop speaking for jewish people, green spock isnt antisemitic, it has context in canon just like his pointed ears and eyebrows which could out of context be seen as antisemitic devil coding. but it isnt. he's an alien with green blood. he can be green. sincerely your friendly neighborhood jew. 🖖🏻

Anon I’m literally Jewish. I don’t know what you thought you’d gain here.

Also by that logic, we, as humans, with red blood, should now also be bright candy red?

[goremojiz]

same anon, you're real for that. why r you made someone is using a vaguely similar color palette to you or is a little inspired off you . get a life that isn't tumblr fame lol ! (not @ you but the . yeah)

LITERALLY 💀 emote inspiration discourse is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Toyhouse/the character design community has this problem, too. How are u gonna gatekeep people being inspired by ur work? Art inspires art, and creativity breeds creativity. If u dont want people being inspired by ur shit, A. Dont fucking post it? And B. That goes against everything about art, howre u fr gonna take away the fundamental liberty and joy of creating things?

People r totally free to be upset at people copying them or tracing or claiming their ideas as their own or wtv, but INSPIRATION? 💀

People who make emotes on tumblr ain't shit either man like u dont got any authority to be stopping people from being inspired off u, ur just a whimsy-killer.

Whats a fursona

@abbacchio-answers Mr Fursona expert can say since he knows soooo much about furries.

[retrogradedreaming]

my least favorite thing is when people compliment someone's work by using passive aggressive comments about what they hate about other people's work. like please, just focus on what is actually in front of you

a brief list of ask game tips, from somebody who struggles to give and receive interaction:

send an ask to the person you reblog the game from, unless they specifically say not to! reblogging without giving them that participation is honestly really rude. you don't even have to go back and read the answer, you can just send and move on!

this one is more of a hassle, but i personally like to try and send asks to the people who reblog a game from me too. this helps to ensure that everybody gets at least one message. it isn't always convenient or possible, but it's nice to do when you can.

if the ask game is about ocs or other characters, or anything that requires specifying something, it's good to either list some available characters in the tags or have one you'll default to if askers don't specify. not everybody who's sending an ask will be deeply familiar with your blog, and it makes it easier for people to give you that interaction if you take a moment to lay it out for them.

if you reblog an ask game and don't get any asks, there's no shame in re-reblogging it a little while later or posting a reminder that you're still open to asks. posts get buried easily on a busy dash, and sometimes it takes a little repetition for people to see them (or decide to send something).

you may be more likely to get asks if you have anon on (personally i almost never send messages off anon unless i'm friends with the person i'm sending it to). not everybody wants to open up their inbox to nonsense, though. your comfort comes first!

[suja-janee]

Curious.. cause I’m kinda in multiple fandoms all at once right now

What are you guys following me for? Also what would you like to see more of on this blog?

(Note: I am asking cause I want to see the demographic of who’s actively following me, I won’t do everything that is asked of me in the comments)

[pressure-escapee-au]

how did you get out of the blacksite?

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

Hello! I love all your AU's, and wanted to know if you still take animorph au ideas? I figured that you most likely have a big backlog of them and didn't want to add to it if they aren't wanted

Oh lord, I don't know. I guess? Like, the backlog thing is spot-on. As is the fact that I think I answer about 1% of the AU requests I receive, just because I get so many and so many of them are outside my expertise. So I haven't explicitly closed my askbox to AU requests, but I do have 6 in progress and want to try to finish at least 3 of those before I start any others.

Also: I think most people know this, but it takes me a long freaking time to write those AUs. I think my fastest-ever turnaround was about a week for the controller-Naomi one, and the slowest was over six years (!!!) for the Maximum Ride crossover. Most AU requests gotta stew for a couple months before I have an answer I like.

So like, if in the span of a month I get asks like "what if the Animorphs were in a world with no shrimp?" then "I guess my idea sucked, but I was wondering about an AU without shrimp" then "Sorry for bothering you but I had this idea about no-shrimp Animorphs" I will ctrl+F "shrimp" and delete every instance from my inbox. And then delete any half-drafts I might've started. Because that crap is demoralizing as hell. And it'd suck every iota of joy out of writing fan fiction if it could.

starting to realize why I never used twitter or reddit after my carefully cultivated internet enclosure gets broken into

[eclipsecrowned]

Why… do people who act like assholes… think they are victims when people approach them in good faith to do something harmless…

[dhaaruni]

Not a question, but I want to say I really admire your parents. A lot of children end up with parents that only invest in them if they follow set paths but it's clear that your parents love you unconditionally.

Yes, I’m an Ivy League graduate and nominally professionally successful but from the very beginning, I think my parents only really wanted me to be happy, and everything else was secondary.

And it was all very touch and go for a while, largely because of my history of violence against myself, but I made it out alive and now I’m genuinely happy and married with a little cat named Esther, and things are really good in my life despite the external world being in so much turmoil.

Day first of being home after two days of bliss and already I had one bad eerie dream and cannot sleep….

Good night to you all, I hope you guys immediately fall asleep to the sweetest dreams with your blorbos 🫶
