#responsible internet etiquette

[icarusredwings]

Getting deep into the x men fandom means seeing ships I don't agree with, so I don't interact, seeing posts that mischaraterizes one of the deepest charaters possible, so I don't interact, Seeing people actively say things that are blatantly wrong, so I don't interact.

Getting a large following is also kind of frustrating (Im not complaining I love you guys!) But I've had to block 2 people already today because they keep leaving rude replies to my comments on OTHER peoples posts or purposly come to my blog to tell me that how I view a charater is wrong. Had someone tell me that the stuff that happens in MY au is dumb because "that would never happen" like yeah bud. The writers at Marvel are too much of cowards for it to happen, hence why i'm here.

So my thing is... if im chosing not to interact with all of this- why is it still on my feed?

I feel like the more I ignore it the more I see and I do not wish to be the type to block someone simply because they make one post about a ship that personally isn't my cup of tea.

Also- I think Im starting to see the different sides of extremes, especially when it comes to one specifc charater.

Logan.

I have seen dozens of lovely stories, lovely rants, lovely head canons about this man-

But something that feels weird (to me at least) is people who are 45+ yelling at people who aren't even 18 that their story/headcanons are trash because they've "been enjoying Logan for 40+ years" as if this gives them any right to tell a 17 year old that they shouldnt write a charater how they see them.

It's also weird to me that there seems to be two sides.

Logan IS an animal and that's perfectly okay.

Or

Logan ISN'T an animal, and everyone who headcanons him as animalistic is fetishizing his mutation and are insulting him.

I get not liking a certain trope, but sir, that person is young enough to be your child. You have to accept that we all grew up with different versions of each charater. I Personally didn't grow up with any and get the luxury of indulging in all sorts of media all at once- therefore getting to see him from multiple sides and pictures.

I completely understand if you grew up with the original series and are upset to see that kids are headcanoning your stone cold angst biker man as wearing bow clips and 'making biscuits' on a pillow while watching gilmore girl with his boyfriend, and wearing pink fluffy hello kitty pants and a tight shirt that says "Milk"

I completely understand if you grew up with the movies and see him as a sexy gruff hot buff man and you love to write lots and lots of steamy x reader about him.

I completely understand if you LIKE logan wearing hello kitty pants and don't agree with the idea of him being a dark edgelord, lone wolf charater.

Do you know what I don't understand? Fighting over a charater when different timelines have been canon since the 80s. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) first appeared in Thor #372 (October 1986) which means ALL of your logans are the correct logan. Just not all the same.

Do I think Wolverine Orgins Logan would wear pink hello kitty pants? Nah.

Do I know that Deadpool and wolverine Logan is a whole different universe then Orgins Logan? Yes.

That's why people tag different logans and different aus. So what is all the fuss about?? What happened to the more the merrier?

Theres so many different versions of comic book logan, too, so don't even go there.

Feel free to ask my personal opinions but as far as I stand I could never be foolish enough to seriously go into someone elses post and genuinely be upset at them for how they perceive a charater. I get second hand embaressment when ever I see ANYONE doing it.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I don't care if I lose followers for this. Let the door hit you on the way out. There aint no reason to be harrassing folks.

cool ship. please read. you enter my blog. you see my profile pic, my header, and my bio. and yet cannot see the caps locked text near the front. you are not the first, and i severely doubt you’ll be the last. but take this lesson. be cautious. be aware of your surroundings. and do not let your excitement over potential free art limit your ability to observe grounds that aren’t yours

I found out you're Romanian by going through your blog and looking for crumbs of information like a normal person

(I feel the need to state that for obvious reasons this is comedic hyperbole. I found out about your romanianisms like a month after we became mutuals or so)

My romanianism...an incurable disease im afraid. Dont get too close or you'll catch it

Sona is your average tumblrina, Stylus runs some mix of a nihilist and dark academia blog with a small following but breaks theme every Thursday to rb Out of Touch Thursday because Sona's somehow convinced him it's propper site etiquette, God makes obscure near-incomprehensible almost-shitpost posts about anything and everything & people think she's running a gimmick blog but she is dead serious

How to Teach Kids the Dos and Don'ts of Social Media Posting

Teaching children the appropriate and inappropriate ways to post on social media cannot be overstated. Instilling healthy internet behaviors in children at a young age enables them to navigate the digital environment responsibly. The empowerment of children with these abilities is vital for their online well-being. In this parenting blog, we will discuss practical methods that may be used to…

Always be kind and polite in phone calls, even when you're stressed / angry / upset.

Calling a call center is a frustrating nightmare for just about everyone when it comes to anything, and something most people dread. However, always remember that the call center employee who is picking up the phone is not personally responsible for whatever problem you're having with your bank account / phone service / internet service / ect. They are getting paid to answer the phone and try to help you, and have no power over the company at large's policies and errors. They are a human being just trying to make it through the day, not your personal punching bag to take out your frustration on.

This doesn't just apply to phone calls for personal matters, this applies to professional etiquette too. If you're at work and need to call a supplier due to an error on their side, don't make the call guns ablazin' looking to yell at or fight the supplier no matter how frustrated you are. First of all, the person who answers the phone likely isn't directly responsible for the error you're upset about. Or, even if they are, that's no way to treat someone you need to maintain a professional relationship with. Find a better way to solve your problem than just yelling at them on the phone, which is likely to cause more problems than it solves if you spoil your professional relationship with someone you'll likely need to work with again.

Many people may get bold on the phone for the same reason people become keyboard warriors online, they feel more bold when they don't have to deal with someone face to face. However, it's important to control yourself and still practice good manners towards the person on the other side of the phone. Not least of all because the person on the other side of the phone is still a human being with feelings, but also because losing your temper at them will not solve any problems, and instead is only likely to worsen any problems you've having.

@rred_hood: hey guys. sorry for the radio silence, but i needed some time to figure things out w/ everything that’s been going on. just to give a quick update: these past few months i’ve been working on bettering myself, both physically and mentally. mostly though, i need to re-evaluate the people i allow to be in my life vs. the people i actually want around.

as you all know, artemis and i were seen out together a couple of months back, despite our very toxic relationship in the past. i’ve mentioned her abuse towards me here and there before, but now i wanna set the record straight.

me and artemis were NEVER happy. point blank. the first few months of our relationship seemed amazing, sure, but every moment after that felt like hell on earth. im not gonna go into the specifics of her treatment towards me (bcs frankly it’s not anyone’s business but mine), but the only reason we met up last month was to hopefully make peace with what happened during the time we were together.

as for the copyright situation and my alleged involvement in it; everything will be revealed before of the judge. while im legally not allowed to speak on it at this time, i will go ahead and apologize in advance for the news you’ll be hearing in the upcoming days…

before i post this, though, i publicly want to say this: @y/nforeal im GENUINELY sorry for any of the pain or stress all of this has caused you. i betrayed your trust, and have absolutely no expectations for you to forgive me. believe it or not, every second of our time together felt like pure bliss, and you’re the last person i ever wanted to hurt. i sincerely hope that you get everything you’ve ever dreamed of in life, regardless of whether i get to be part of the journey, or have to cheer you on from afar.

to end off, anyone who really supports me knows idc to involve myself in drama, so please, all i ask is that you be patient with me as i figure out a way to right my wrongs. peace✌🏻

Case Closed, Artemis Grace headed straight to the slammer! Where does this leave us now? (2/27/2023 1:42 PM PT)

From TikTok, to Instagram; almost all of social media has been flooded with people's response to the verdict of one of the biggest cases in Hollywood right now. Fans all over the internet have been posting nothing but support of the court's ruling. The hashtag "#WHOMPWHOMP" has even found itself trending on twitter in response to Artemis' behavior displayed throughout the trial.

The celeb's unsavory etiquette is nothing new though. From sobbing in the witness stand, to lashing out at her own lawyer, Artemis has shown nothing but discomposure since the day charges were pressed against her. But, for everyone new here, let's start from the beginning.

For those who may not have been keeping up with the story, back in September, acclaimed singer Y/N Y/LN took legal action against Artemis Grace on the grounds of copyright infringement. After months of speculation, investigators found that Grace had illegally distributed a song that had absolutely no business being in her possession in the first place.

Although the track was taken very favorably by fans and casual listeners alike, the actual artist was nowhere near pleased. Once sharing her feelings about the situation online, Y/N immediately put her emotions into a new album, the same album that led her to receive the first grammy of her career.

Aside from the copyright violation though, Artemis is also being sued for causing emotional distress in regards to all the drama she got wrapped up in with her ex-boyfriend, Jason Todd.

While Jason and Y/N were presumed to have been dating since March of last year (if not earlier), that fantasy was quickly ruined when Artemis and Todd were caught being uncomfortably close with each other outside of a club last August.

Of course, many fans on both sides were reasonably hurt by the news. Those who have been following Y/N for a while now may know that she has had trouble opening up to people in the past; something she has expressed quite a bit in her music. So, when word broke out that Jason seemed to be playing with her feelings, her supporters were beyond furious.

Even songwriter Cassandra Cain, Jason's adopted sister, made sure to support Y/N in every way that she could. The two have been friends for years now, having officially met back in 2020 at the billboard music awards. While Cassandra isn't a woman of many words, she made sure that her actions spoke volumes.

Late last year, she helped Y/N write one of the songs for her latest album, basically ensuring her win at this year's Grammys. Outside of music though, posts have been made by the two besties seemingly having the time of their lives.

Between the high emotions and the immense camaraderie being shown, fans have come to the conclusion that both women may have gotten together at some point while working together.

Without a doubt, there was an obvious tension between the duo while doing promotions for their shared single. Cassandra, though a notable lesbian icon in the community, has yet to speak up on the rumors (and, knowing her, probably never will).

Back to the legal proceedings, the heartbreaker in question was also present during Artemis' trial. In order to shed some light on the story, Jason Todd appeared before the court as a witness in hopes of ensuring that Y/N wins this case.

Unlike Artemis, Jason showed nothing but absolute remorse for his actions. About a month ago, the Gothamite made a post to his instagram page detailing the shame he felt by being involved in such acts, although in reality he had little participation to begin with.

While on trial, it was found that Todd actually had little to no involvement with the illegal distribution of the track. In fact, Artemis herself confessed that he only talked about Y/N having a song that was "in the works". He also revealed to her that the track was "something his girlfriend (had) dedicated it to him", thus confirming our suspicions of their relationship status.

Alongside this, she also admitted that their meet up back in August originally had nothing to do with music, nor were they trying to rekindle their disastrous affair. Jason did state that he was notably intoxicated that night, while Artemis indicated that she "hadn't had anything to drink" prior to their conversation.

In the end, after the grueling legal battle, Artemis is soon to be locked up after receiving a firm guilty ruling from the judge. The now former singer has been sentenced to three years in prison without possibility of parole, in addition to paying $25,000 as compensation for emotional distress.

Outside the courtroom Y/N and Jason were seen speaking together away from everyone else, as well as sharing a meaningful hug before parting ways. The heartwarming image that was caught by paparazzi has given shippers more than enough hope that the two celebs can hopefully rekindle the love they once had.

interesting but predictable how some of the inherent uncanny valley strangeness of bringing something that exists in the chronically online space into the real world can manifest. I’ve noticed this at all the other tours of theirs as well - some people can have a hard time separating internet behaviors from irl behaviors, and the sudden merging of these compartmentalized ways of being (online vs offline) can be hard to navigate.

I think it can also make people uncomfortable to see their comedic silly billie faves being serious, and there’s a dissonance to seeing them, these characters who live on our screens, along with the audience around you who are typically just avatars and usernames shitposting in lowercase, all suddenly in the same physical room. And suddenly that often completely disparate, scattered, semi-anonymous community needs to adapt to social mores and group norms in a new social context. It’s taking a community with its own set of rules that were designed for and in response to a digital landscape and plonking it into a completely alien environment. And yeah, we’re all humans who exist in public outside of our internet lives, but it’s different when that happens but you’re still in the context of the phandom.

Which I think is what leads to things like shouting out rly profane, out of pocket things during the quieter moments of their shows. because if you comment something like that online, you won’t rly be interrupting anything. you might be ignored, you might get some laughs, maybe you’ll get a notice bc haha unhinged right. Or like treating an evacuation drill as a lol pass the tea yas mommy daniel moment instead of an oh we’re actually here in real life moment.

I went back to my tatinof review bc I remembered writing this - “someone behind me kept screaming at them to "GET NAKED" (particularly during silences in the 7 second challenge) to which everyone in my area responded with claps and laughter.” During my second TIT show, there were people around me who wolf whistled and shouted “kinky” and “ayo ok freaky” during totally inappropriate moments. I remember during Dan’s quieter bits of WAD people could not seem to just stay silent. (I have suffered complete amnesia when it comes to ii so I can’t speak to any part of that experience lol.) after the preshow and during intermission at tit, I heard separate people at separate times making a range of critical comments about Dan and Phil’s bodies in ways that were downright shocking and not how I hope they’d typically feel comfortable speaking about other humans.

I think on the whole, phannies are so lovely and kind to one another. I feel deep gratitude for this community. And I know this isn’t just a phandom thing; I think how we treat one another in public spaces has generally really eroded, and concert etiquette has become abysmally poor. But phandom, as always, is a little unique, because of the sense of mutual understanding and the co-created dynamic between us and d&p. It dissolves the boundaries, so when Dan tells you to shut up, your online brain tells you that’s just a chance to be funny with your fave. When you have a chance to be heard, your online brain provides a memey shitpost joke and your irl self shouts it out even though that ain’t the move in a theatre performance unless invited to do so.

No real conclusion here, just some observations about the rly unique dynamic this all creates!

in the EMTTS, does Diane ever find out about the death threat letters to Steve? if her daughter watches Eddie’s tiktok she would’ve seen the videos about it so did she tell her mom? how would Diane react? would her reaction annoy Steve or would he actually find it sweet?

Oh man, her daughter would show her Eddie’s TikTok and Diane’s response would be the same one she has for a death in the family and divorces: desserts and being a pleasant presence in their lives.

Steve doesn’t immediately put two and two together because he kinda assumes that Eddie told their friends about it and that’s why people knew, not that he posted about it on the internet. He honestly just thinks that Diane is being her usual annoying self and thus, following the rules of upper-middle class etiquette, keeps having to bake for her.

She stops by one evening and brings them a plate of macaroons and spends an hour standing on their front porch talking about the neighborhood watch. They gained three new members. Steve interprets this as dig about his sleepwalking and then spends the rest of the evening hate-baking her a pie.

Steve is sitting outside waiting for his carpool one morning and she accosts him to have him try this new doughnut recipe she’s trying out. They’re begrudgingly delicious, but her interrupting the only peace and quiet he’ll get all day to talk about the neighborhood watch again is unforgivable. Steve makes her brownies.

Steve is laying with his back flat against the deck in the backyard, listening to Eddie chase Ozzy around the yard. His eyes are shut but he can feel the sun shining on him, and it’s the first time in a long time that he doesn’t feel like complete shit. So, of course.

“Yoohoo, boys,” Steve hears called over the fence and when he cracks his eyes open, he can see her waving at them. She has a tin of cookies with her and is already handing a homemade dog treat to Eddie, and Steve just sighs so deep within himself that he can feel it in his toes.

When he peels himself off the deck and drags himself over to have a pointless conversation by the fence, he can hear her talking about the neighborhood watch. Again. She is saying something about Suzanne down the street seeing a car circle the block a few time this week with their lights off, and Steve’s just had enough.

He doesn’t have it in him to bake another fucking pie.

He cuts off her rambling about being bad at guessing the make and model of cars with some barely concealed frustration, “That’s Ryan and Jackie’s kid. The one that just got a permit. He and his friends take their car out and joyride it around the neighborhood because Ryan refuses to teach him to drive.”

“We live in a cul-de-sac,” Steve adds because he thinks that she’s being a little ridiculous. He says it like he was no longer a person that had trouble leaving the house, that could open the mail without their hands shaking, that wasn’t in their backyard instead of on a run because they’re afraid – Wait.

Steve’s eyes flicker over to Eddie and then to Diane, and everything slots into place like the most obvious puzzle. Of course, she knows. Everybody probably knows. That’s why the neighborhood watch is suddenly so popular, and yeah.

Later when Steve can think about it all more rationally, it is sweet that their neighborhood is looking out for them and that they’re concerned. But in the moment, Steve feels like he’s been hit with a tidal wave of pity, and he gets frustrated. He gets angry.

He barely registers that he drops the cookie tin on the ground or hears Eddie’s blasé response about Steve’s clumsiness. He knows that he’s about to get mean and he doesn’t want to, so he just turns around and goes inside.

Eddie follows him a few minutes later, asking questions and says that it’s not a big deal that people know. He says that it’s actually better because it means there are more people looking out for him. Steve tells him that he’s not talking about it and goes to bed early.

He wakes up early too. He puts on his shoes and he goes across the street, and he tells Diane when she opens her door, “This needs to stop.”

“Oh good, you’re awake. When I saw you on the porch, I thought you might be…” She trails off, making a twirling gesture at her temple and then frowns. “Oh, that’s not correct, is it? April is always trying to teach me these new rules. I mean nothing by it, dear.”

“I’m not – I’m not broken,” Steve says. “I’m not sick, or weak, or – and I don’t need you to bake things for my husband or form a neighborhood watch for me. I need-“

“Dear, that’s simply not true,” She says, voice dropping into something serious. This might be the first time that Steve has ever seen her not smiling. “I heard about those awful letters you got sent to your door and you may not like it, but at times like these. You need people. You may not like that it’s me, sweetie, but that’s what you got.”

Steve hates how he feels like he’s ten years old and making up excuses for why his parents didn’t pick him up, “I can look after myself.”

“I’m sure you can, but do a girl a favor and let us look after you too,” She says. She must see that he’s not thrilled with that statement because she tells him about a sorority sister she had and the anonymous notes she used to find, and how they buried her two years after graduating.

So, she takes his hand and gives it a squeeze, “Let me do this. For me.”

Steve doesn’t pull his hand away and admits maybe for the first time, “I’m so scared all the time.”

your blog. confuses me. /notneg

Yeah, it's been getting a lot of off-topic attention lately. I promise I'll get back to rating cute viral videos of ACTUAL animals soon!

out of character under the cut

Hi! Just going to make this my pinned.

What is all this Ford Pines nonsense?

So, @jellyskink is a gravity falls fanartist who's responsible for the "Domesticated Ford" au. It's a horror/dark comedy "bad ending" AU for the show Gravity Falls. In it, Bill Cipher manages to make a deal with Fiddleford McGucket, and uses his body to imprison Ford Pines for years until he has been brainwashed into complying with Bill's demands.

Ford opens the portal, Bill enters Earth, and Ford becomes his personal property - his "pet." He's constantly tortured, but is so brainwashed that he still craves Bill's attention and love. Just like in the show, Bill Cipher and his gang are stuck in the weirdness bubble, but in this AU, the bubble is slowly expanding. Ford is trying to find a way to prevent the bubble from completely destroying the universe as it expands, but when he's not doing that, he's fawning on Bill.

Ford is so deeply delusional and dissociative in this AU that he honestly wants to be with Bill, and can't comprehend how bad his situation is. This is probably for the best, because his situation is really, really bad.

A couple of other AUs have come up - namely, @alexthebordercollie's Hand of God, a different Bill Wins AU in which Ford is functionally a god now. That Ford likes Domesticated!Ford and seemingly wants to adopt him as his own. It's all very messy.

What is this blog?

This blog is based on "is the animal video cute?" style blogs that check viral animal videos to make sure they are actually cute, not abusive. (For example: dog clicker-trained to jump? Cute. Dog baited into fighting a raccoon? Not cute.) The idea is, Bill Cipher puts Ford in pet show contests because he thinks it's funny, and these clips have gone viral online in-universe. This blog is a "pet rater" blog that got sent a bunch of Ford Pines content.

Real life me is so deeply uncomfortable with online discourse that I don't even link my fan blogs to my main. The fictional character of Pet Rater Guy, though, is the sort of person who gets baited by online trolls REALLY easily and keeps getting in over his head when it comes to The Disk Horse.

Who am I?

I'm a fanfiction writer who wrote some stuff based on Jellyskink's AU, and we became friends!

PET GUY TIMELINE

Pre-history: the blog is new, but in-universe, it's been reviewing pet show content for years.

Pet Guy starts reblogging Ford Pines content at the request of fans. Pet guy calls out these posts as problematic.

Pet Guy ends up in a nasty fight with in-universe Jellyskink, a Ford fan who is clueless about the context of the photo and videos she posts.

Pet Guy begins attracting more attention from people who are pro-Ford and pro-Bill.

Pet guy's anti-abuse posts attract the attention of a godded Ford (@chiphersconsort) from another dimension.

Pet Guy gets very scared and drunk.

Pet Guy has cordial interactions with this deific Ford, which get out of hand because of Pet Guy's intoxication. Pet Guy gets transformed.

Pet guy wakes up to find that he's a hungover raccoon. He keeps blogging as before.

A weird Cipher Loyalist @phosphorwings shows up in Pet Guy's comments and reblogs, but they seem to be on good terms with the god that cursed Pet Guy, so Pet Guy tries to be polite to them.

Pet Guy (who is a raccoon) sets up a side blog @totallynotstalkingmothguy to monitor the Cipher Loyalist.

Despite this side blog, Pet Guy and phosphorwings begin to become friends, in no small part because chiphersconsort makes it very clear that Pet Guy is to be nice to phosphorwings. Ciphersconsort knows about the side blog.

Pet guy helps Phosphorwings understand internet context such as memes, as well as internet safety and etiquette such as how to deal with trolls. He mentions on the side blog that ciphersconsort gives him psychic head scritches when he's "a good boy."

Phosphorwings becomes upset at an anonymous ask that suggests he has Stockholm syndrome; in his very emotional reply, he insists that "his muse" is wonderful to him. Pet Guy posts "...His muse?" On the side blog, a then later reblogs it with, "I don't remember posting this."

Phosphorwings begins to post references to his life that make it appear he is in a severely abusive relationship. Pet guy gets concerned and asks chiphersconsort for "divine wisdom" in the tags of a post. Chiphersconsort informs him he's handling it.

Pet guy now regularly refers to Chiphersconsort as "god." Pet guy is regularly getting asks about him being a "lap raccoon" or other pet-related jokes. He has been accused of wanting to crawl in chiphersconsort laps and has replied that "wanting that would be weird".

Chiphersconsort posts a picture of the chaos moths that he uses to find outbreaks entropy, the apocalyptic force that is currently destroying his dimension. Phosphorwings and Pet Guy are both really excited. Pet Guy asks for a copy of his research notes, which he receives.

Phosphorwings and another mutual, @ranchsoda92, invite Pet Guy to play DDnmD together. When Pet Guy protests that none of them know where he lives and he doesn't know where they live, ranchsoda92 tells him to open his window.

Several hours later, Pet Guy posts a series of frantic and cryptic posts on both blogs about having been at Phosphorwings's house.

In response to Pet Guy explaining what non-sexual BDSM is to phosphorwings, someone asks if Pet Guy a kink question. Pet Guy answers. This becomes an entire subject of conversation.

Chiphersconsort makes a series of posts that showcase his extremely concerning relationship with his husband (his dimension's Bill Cipher). Pet Guy is very upset and concerns.

Chiphersconcert has a manic episode and becomes disconcertingly affectionate toward Pet Guy, including posting a screenshot of an unpublished ask suggesting PG ask "god" to "do freak shit", left over from the BDSM series. He also offers to do horrible things to the various anons who have said upsetting things to Pet Guy. Pet Guy tries to manage this situation.

Chiphersconsort recovers from his mania and seemingly forgets who Pet Guy is altogether. Pet Guy is relieved. He also forgets who Phosphorwings is again and reblogs several of his previous posts expressing confusion.

Chiphersconsort offers to GM the next game of DDnmD. Pet Guy attends. To manage his panic, Chiphersconsort uses magic to calm him down. This backfires by making Pet Guy extremely high and silly.

Chiphersconsort wipes Pet Guy's memory.

Pet Guy enters a private chat with the DDnmD squad. He announces that he isn't going to publicize any information from the chat but that it's "wild." He uses this chat to confirm that he is getting regularly memory wiped.

honestly it's really hard for me to not get stressed by online discourse, and i was wondering if you had any advice? obviously i should log off if im getting stressed by discourse im not involved in but.

On dealing with discourse directed at you/people being mad at you:

A big thing for me is respecting the sanctity of the blog space. Make original posts as wanky as you'd like, and interact with like-minded bloggers, but don't interact with posts or blogs you don't like. This will not prevent random weirdos from showing up to be rude and obtuse on your posts, but it will make their lack of tumblr etiquette/respect for tumblr as a blog space apparent and it will give you the upper hand with moderating.

Remember that you don't have to talk to anyone you don't want to and no one is owed a personal response just because they chose to disagree with you. You can block whoever you like for any reason you'd like. If you don't want to interact with someone but want to address something they said, you don't have to reply directly to them if you don't want to. You can address the gist of what was said without giving them an audience. Sometimes people don't deserve whatever attention they were trying to get—especially if they've been rude or it's obvious they are approaching the subject in bad faith.

Remember that it's okay not to be liked by everybody. A lot of the time, you will find the people who make it clear they don't like you aren't people you respect or like either.

Most of all: Find the humor in putting all of this in perspective. We are all on a social media site most of the internet seems to think is dead, blogging about a CW show from 2005.... and we are getting mad at each other over it. That's wild, right??? And the people most willing to come to you to start drama are often the funniest people. I have had callout posts written about me over fart jokes. I was once called a "sane, anti-bully saint" and accused of "unfandom" behavior for laughing at samgirls getting Sam kicked out of a christ figure bracket poll they told people to kill themselves on. Someone took a 50 question uquiz I wrote multiple times seething with rage trying to get a zero on it on purpose because they thought it would make me angry for whatever reason. All of this is FUNNY.

On dealing with discourse that has nothing to do with you... logging off is great. But tbh I don't think it's wrong to vent 100% of the time.

It's okay to stand up for your friends and support them.

It's okay to write bitchy posts on your own blog.

It's okay to show a friend the thing you saw that raised your blood pressure and tear it apart together in DMs.

Also again: You can often find the humor in the discourse. Take a step back, find the joke in the whole situation and tell it. Laughter is great medicine imo.

Also, put the fandom in perspective. It's a big space, and sometimes the worst groups become the loudest, but they aren't the majority.

Aggressive and abusive reaction to criticism right off the bat, when the questioner don't even use any curse language. You seem to be low educated by how you get so easily riled up. No such thing as fandom etiquette? When the ship naming has been around for years? Yeah sure, you only look at your side of the fandom and arrogantly think you and your followers represent all. Never think why goyuu naming is exactly spelled and sound the same in Japanese coz they invented the ship name with top/bottom in mind, out of consideration for fans' preference hence why they are strict in using it with meaning.

Then the west fandom copied it exactly as it is. Some of them like you, use it but unlike others who respect the meaning, your shithead of brain stubbornly refuse, arrogantly saying "the japanese ship dynamic name end up just one in english, regardless of the dynamic." Says who? It's your woke statement. Yeah, no wonder, so many western fans are like you, use the ship name or any term coz it's popular but idiotically disregard the original meaning or what it symbolized, only selfishly thinking your opinion is the only one right. Your works are tagged explicit already with one clear dynamic, yuugo. But you always tag as goyuu coz that one is more popular? To bait more readers? When there is literally yuugo and responsible content creators out there tag it as such when it containse reverse of goyuu dynamic, coz they don't try to clickbait unlike you. Keep your bullshit to yourself. It's already obvious.

Alright, I’ve got time and spite, let’s go through this shit line by line.

Aggressive and abusive reaction to criticism right off the bat, when the questioner don't even use any curse language.

Some of you seem to be under the impression that you can spew passive aggressive shit in my inbox and I'll just lick your asshole all sweet and sloppy in response. Either grow balls or don't bother—though why am I saying that to some cunt hiding behind the anon feature.

You seem to be low educated by how you get so easily riled up.

I’m an uneducated cad, and I fucked your mum too. What of it?

No such thing as fandom etiquette? When the ship naming has been around for years? Yeah sure, you only look at your side of the fandom and arrogantly think you and your followers represent all.

Motherfucker, “my side of the fandom” is all I care about. Why the fuck would I bother with what others do? I occupy the Western fandom, not the Eastern one. I don’t give a shit what y’all do, but I’m sure not going to tailor my tagging practices to fandom etiquette that’s irrelevant to me and mine. Actually, I’m not gonna tailor my fandom practices to anything but my own sensibilities, but it’s wild that you expect me to care about a social circle I’m not even in the periphery of.

Never think why goyuu naming is exactly spelled and sound the same in Japanese coz they invented the ship name with top/bottom in mind, out of consideration for fans' preference hence why they are strict in using it with meaning. Then the west fandom copied it exactly as it is. Some of them like you, use it but unlike others who respect the meaning, your shithead of brain stubbornly refuse, arrogantly saying "the japanese ship dynamic name end up just one in english, regardless of the dynamic."

You seem to be under the frankly stupid impression that portmanteau ship names are exclusive Japanese phenomena. Pal, that’s how it works over here too. You smush the names together. Gojou/Yuuji would’ve been “goyuu” in English even without Japanese-fandom influence—at best, it’d have been some other version of Gojou’s and Yuuji’s first or last names stuck together—just like how Steve/Bucky is “stucky” and Sherlock/John is “johnlock,” regardless of top/bottom dynamics. Us filthy Westerners aren’t stealing and staining your sacred practices, we’re using the established norms here. There’s plenty of bleedthrough with how Eastern and Western fandoms are in close contact via the internet, and usage may thus vary, including the use of top’s-name-first conventions in Western fandoms, but by and large, one ship name dominates. You would know this if you pulled your head out of your asshole and actually looked at pan-fandom practices.

Says who? It's your woke statement.

This is…not the flex you think it is, unless you’re trying to signal that you’re a conservative bigoted dickbag.

Yeah, no wonder, so many western fans are like you, use the ship name or any term coz it's popular but idiotically disregard the original meaning or what it symbolized, only selfishly thinking your opinion is the only one right.

You heard it here first, folks! Having an opinion is selfish.

Your works are tagged explicit already with one clear dynamic, yuugo. But you always tag as goyuu coz that one is more popular?

What part of “I’m using the Western ship name—which is goyuu” went over the hollow cardboard serving as your head?

To bait more readers?

Ah, yes, because we all know I’m sorely lacking readers. Tragic.

When there is literally yuugo and responsible content creators out there tag it as such when it containse reverse of goyuu dynamic, coz they don't try to clickbait unlike you.

“Content creators,” “clickbait,” “woke”—I don’t think you know what words mean.

Keep your bullshit to yourself. It's already obvious.

Bitchcakes, the block button is free. It exists on both Ao3 and Tumblr. You’re the one slurping up my bullshit like it’s ambrosia.

Also, fair warning—this is the last of these asks I’ll respond to properly. Anyone putting top/bottom wank in my inbox ever again with even the slightest hint of aggression or passive aggression—of which I'll be the judge, jury, and executioner—is going to get the filthiest bottom!Gojou porn I’ve written as a response. Win-win for everyone—except your lot.

(…Non-asshole followers, don’t put shit in my inbox to get more porn. Just ask me—I’m easy).

Vague Statement of Authorial Preferences on "Constructive Criticism"

I've written this carefully to try to avoid sounding ungrateful or oversensitive. I get wonderful engagement on Lionheart, and 99% of it is positive, heartwarming, flattering, humbling. I'm grateful for that every day, and I never take it for granted. Whatever the 1% consists of, I acknowledge it's a vanishing fraction of the response. The last thing I want to be is a sour grape.

That being said, I think the fic must've been recced on a non-D/H forum, because there's been a few... slightly more critical comments lately. Not a ton, but they're there. Which is fine. I acknowledge I'm a little sensitive to criticism on fanfic, mostly because it's supposed to be my fun, no-pressure, no-bad-vibes hobby, and I've had the occasional self-critical spirals that stop me from writing. But that's no one's problem but mine. Also, it's the Internet. People will say what they think. That's the bug, and that's the feature. I've been around long enough to acquire a decently thick skin. I just don't really want to use it in this particular forum, for this particular thing.

(For the record: pointing out typos, wrong word choices, wrong use of "it's/its," that's fine. And cracking jokes about the fic is a fun way to engage! I'm really not harsh about this, I don't think. But if your only comment is a major structural criticism of how I conceive and do plots: that's the kind of feedback I'm talking about here.)

I want to stress a lack of ill will towards critics; some of them have been respectful. In fact, a lot of them word their comments like they're editors on a project they like — which is what I believe they think they're doing. I don't see any malice in it; it's just a problem of different Internet circles with different Internet etiquette bumping into each other. So I thought I should clarify! Here's my standing declaration of etiquette preference: there is a difference in the standard of expected criticism between published work that you pay for and amateur work you get for free. I have a job. I get critique in my job, I work with it, I learn from it, I grow from it. Fanfiction is my hobby. The places I seek critical feedback on my skills are not, respectfully, the AO3 comments section.

And if you've spent hours of your time reading 600,000 words of free fiction and all you could think to say about it was something critical, you and I are very different kinds of participant in fandom, and that's probably a sufficient reason for us not to interact.

Rules/BYI

I feel that I should set some clearer boundaries on this blog.

This blog contains SFW and NSFW writing so please dni if you're uncomfortable with that.

For all NFSW content they are r18+ meaning dni if you're a minor.

All works are tagged and labeled as such so it's the viewer's discretion.

It's my blog, so I'll post both writing and art.

I don't do requests, end of story. If your ask sounds like a request I will delete it from the inbox.

DON'T ASK "will you write for [character]?" or "will you make [character] content?" I write what I feel like and what characters I am currently brainrotting about.

Don't comment or talk about a character on a work that has nothing to do with them.

I do not tolerate hate or putting down artists and fanfic writers

I do not tolerate hate towards ocs or self-inserts/ships

Don't ask me about ships, I'm just not really interested

Don't repost, copy, plagiarize, or translate my works and art. I have an Ao3 account and Tumblr for my fanfics, that's it.

As for my art, if you find my other platforms be polite and don't mention this blog.

Please respect my privacy and boundaries.

I am a person with life and responsibilities outside of the Internet. I ask that you use common sense and social etiquette, be polite and reasonable.

I will block those who repeatedly have disrespected the boundaries I set.

I just want to post and share what I create, the Internet is very much a view at your own discretion as a whole.

Firstly, if you’re gonna tell someone “kys” say it with your chest, don’t hide behind an anonymous wall, coward.

Secondly, I can only assume that this was in response to my response to your unsolicited opinion on the wonderful piece @wormvirtues drew.

If that is the case, please note that it is entirely valid for you to have a differing opinion on the piece. Not everyone enjoys the same art, same works, same content as others and that is okay. You have your preferences and they don’t align with the work that was created.

What is not valid is you coming into an artist’s space after they spent hours working diligently to create something that wasn’t even for you and shit all over it because you didn’t enjoy it.

Lastly, here are some key etiquette lessons that can help you tremendously in your travels through fandom spaces:

1. Your Kink is Not My Kink (And That’s Okay!): More commonly known as the Kink Tomato! It means exactly what it says. You may not have a size difference kink, however there are many people that do. You wouldn’t want to be shamed for something you enjoy that others might not, right? So please don’t shit directly on someone’s work whether it be art, videos, or fics because you saw/read something you didn’t care for. It’s not for you and that’s fine, just keep on scrolling until you find something you like.

2. Don’t like, don’t read: Now, I realize this is mildly different because it’s art and it’s not like you can just unsee it, however, you can still acknowledge that this was not for you and again, just scroll on by.

3. Golden Rule (treat others as you would want to be treated): imagine you spend hours possibly days working on a piece, whether written, drawn, or recorded. You’ve put so much care and effort into this gift for a friend for their birthday because you care about them right? You want to show them how special they are to you, and then someone comes along and says it wasn’t good enough for them, that the characters you’ve created don’t match their perception and not only that but they try to shame you for ever having written/drawn/portrayed such a thing that was borne from love. Just because the creator put it out there for others to enjoy doesn’t mean it’s your job to ‘police’ their works. If you don’t like it, it’s not necessary for you to ruin a creator’s day by telling them how much you didn’t like it. Just scroll on by, find something you do like, and give that creator some love.

Which brings me to my last point:

4. Don’t comment if you have nothing positive to say: Artists/Cosplayers/Writers/etc aren’t looking for your criticism (unless specifically asked). They’re putting out their work in hopes that people will like it, and when people come into their dms/comments/public blogs/spaces giving unsolicited criticism on work that (I cannot emphasize enough) was not for them, it is incredibly fucking rude and discouraging and there is no place for that kind of behavior in public spaces (especially on the creator’s blog).

Please keep in mind that the people you are engaging with on the internet are not just avatars but living breathing human beings, just like yourself. They have thoughts and feelings and a desire to create and just because it isn’t something you enjoy, doesn’t mean you have to shit on then for having the “audacity” to create and post something not to your liking.

Side note: When you gain some maturity (please see your anonymous ask), I am open to discussing differences in opinion on kinks/preferences within the fandom, because as I stated before everyone is entitled to their opinions and views as to how they see characterizations. Just don’t shit on people because their opinions differ from yours and especially don’t shit on creators who have made a thing free of charge for others’ viewing pleasure. It is easy to have a conversation about how you view characters differently when you keep an open mind that your preferences may not align. <3
