If you take a gif from my blog to make it your tumblr header image, the least you could do is give credit!! I don’t love having to message ppl asking for this when I see it happen, and I’ve seen it a bunch recently. Thank you!!

Sometimes I get a potential client interaction that is so excessively out of pocket, that so violently wars with my ability to retain some semblance of professionalism that I end up thinking about it for days.

DAYS

The Billy Hargrove defenders now seem to have not even seen the show?? Confused. Am I going insane please help.

Let’s break this down. Person nicely (okay it wasn't nice) asks how is Billy racist and I kindly take time out of my day to say “he pointed directly at the only black kid and said that’s the wrong kind of people to hang out with, and then only tried to kill Lucas.”

Person responds by telling me:

1. How could Billy have known that Lucas wasn’t a good person when he didn’t know Lucas? (Yes?? Exactly, you’re at the point just keeeeep going. So you're saying he.... stereotyped him based on the only factor that separated him from all the other kids which was.... hit us with it.)

2. Lucas hung out with Jason, only cared about his reputation, and disregarded his friend so what did you expect? (So many things wrong with this but the major one is BILLY WAS DEAD BY THEN YOU PSYCHO?? How could this have affected his decision making?? He said all that and tried to kill Lucas way before these unrelated events? Then he died and then these events occurred? Also fam, you just said he didn't know Lucas, my brain is dribbling out my ears.)

3. Billy wasn’t in control that season so you can’t blame him. (Was this person perhaps on drugs while watching this show? Billy was possessed a whole season after this incident?? Again, entirely after the racist actions I gave as an example??)

Then the final big argument, a true fav, it is shocking how many times I've heard this in my dms:

4. Would you have said this was racism if Lucas was white? (No??? What the fuck?? Are you okay?? What the fuck kinda argument is this? Then it would just be attempted murder and bullying?? But what does it matter because? Lucas isn't white and it was racism dude.)

5. Be for real. (I HAVE TO BE FOR REAL??? I’m in tears did I stumble into The Twilight Zone am I being gaslit?? I actually will feel a lot better if we find out every Billy stan has just actually never seen the show.)

I’m so sad I won’t be able to watch the Oscars until I’m home from my trip in the third week of March ☠️ the whole world would have seen I’m Just Ken by then and I’ll be left behind 😭😭

And it’s not just “wah im gonna miss a show” bc I don’t rly care about the show itself necessarily. This is my main F/O and I won’t be able to see him but other ppl will. I have felt so disconnected from Ken. I’ve gotten a handful of inbox messages where ppl say “oh i have him call ME his sweet girl now because of your comic” or ppl will tag my ship art with Ken as “oh that’s ME and Ken” and it hurts. I’ve said multiple times I’m not comfortable sharing F/Os but ppl just? Don’t care?? My self insert isn’t somebody for you to project onto, holy shit why is that so hard for some ppl to comprehend

Now when he calls me sweet girl in my fics/drawings I don’t feel anything anymore, I’ve tried making comics and I feel absolutely nothing from him, it doesn’t feel special anymore bc so many people keep self projecting onto my self insert as if she were an “x reader” experience. I’ve felt disconnected from Ken for a couple of weeks now and I’ve been trying so hard to feel good with him again but I can’t. I’m so numb. I don’t want to lose him and the fact that the self shippers who openly project onto my stuff will see him singing live, but I won’t, feels like another major step backwards away from him, if that makes sense. My ship with him doesn’t feel special anymore. I need these characters so badly, I don’t have anybody else if I don’t have my Ryan F/Os and I don’t want to go back to months ago when I had absolutely nothing to hold onto and I was fighting every day just to stay alive. I’ve had special interests completely ripped from me due to abuse and I can’t go back to feeling as bad as I did last year, I had never felt worse and I’m so scared of feeling that way again. I need my F/Os I need Ken and I’m so far away from him now I don’t feel his love for me anymore and it’s terrifying bc last year was the worst year of my entire life and I don’t want to go through my flashbacks and nightmares all by myself, I don’t want to go back to constantly planning my own demise when my trauma was so fresh and I had nothing to comfort me. I jolted awake from more ptsd nightmares today, which has been nearly an everyday ordeal for a year, and I wanted to think of Ken comforting me like I usually do but I didn’t have the heart to do so. I feel so unloved and replaceable the way ppl easily replace my S/I in all of my posts, I don’t believe he’d care for me anymore.

I keep having meltdowns bc the thought of losing F/Os all over again during a time when I’m STILL in such an unsafe situation shakes me up so bad and I don’t know how to solve this problem. I need him with me I need comfort from these characters but I don’t feel connected with them anymore bc I’ve associated them with a dozen other people. At this point I’m not really upset about missing Im Just Ken, im upset about the fact i just feel nothing whatsoever and watching that live could have helped a little but I won’t be able to access it until other people have already seen it, and it won’t feel special anymore. And my ship with him just in general doesn’t feel special anymore, none of them do, and I’m scared and devastated and I don’t know how to fix it

Hi, just going to come clean with you. I read your story and it really triggered me for some reason? You keep hinting at a reader 'backstory' and that trend is getting so old. Giving the reader a backstory literally takes away the whole essence of it being an X READER. I was not/never will be a nurse and I don't see why people like to put readers in someone else's shoes like god damn, just make it a Syntax x OC fanfic, its not that hard, we won't be upset or mad at you for making something self indulgent.

Literally. You wrote in the tags??? That it was self indulgent?? That self indulgent shit go woo?? Honey. Just come clean with US. It's really pissing me off.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

we dont know who needs to hear this but your rp and ask blogs do not belong in the main tag

How Men Have Reacted When I (A Woman) Holds the Door for Them (A Study)

- regular joe: walks through with no comment.

- general greg: says a quick thanks as they walk through

- courteous: says thank you upon entry, leaves me with a smile.

- burdened: there is relief in his voice as his arms are full and he is thankful someone was able to recognize that and assist him with the door.

- surprised: was not expecting door to be held for them, surprise is audible in their voice - the door should be held more for these gents.

- short pause: as though they're taken aback but ultimately enter.

- long pause: as though they're struggling with their conscience but my phrase of "it's all good" or "I'm already here" pushes them through.

- attempted takeover: they try a reverse uno card of putting their hand on the door to hold it for me but as I'm already at the handle and out of the way it's an unnecessary attempt that slows traffic more.

- stalemate: they stop short of going through and gesture for me to go first even if their hands are full - I say "I'm already here!" Or "I've got it for you" But alas, they refuse to accept my offer. I end up entering first in order to avoid holding up traffic.

- that one old man: the response "the lady should go through the door first" stalls out the interaction "that's alright I'm already here" "no you have to go first" "no really it's fine it's already open I've got it for you" by this point the societal pressure of how long this is interaction wore on me and eyes may have rolled as I went through the door (first, despite having been holding the door).

- double door stalemate: when encountering two sets of doors in a row there is an occasional issue of holding open one set of doors while they open the other set of doors and then you're both gesturing at each other to enter - this usually ends in a laugh and quick location exchange as to not dismiss the generosity of the other.

Just a small request to anyone who follows me or checks out my blog, please don't insult something I enjoy in the tags if you're going to reblog something about it from me that isn't already a critique.

Hi your work is great. Well I am an Infj people mistook me for an extrovert. I am pretty chill with people but i feel more content with myself . The funny thing is I am a bit self conscious and tend to be a bit anxious. Most of the time i can't express what i feel and it did hurt. But moving on i am actually talkative with the people i am comfortable with which makes people wonder if i have a split personality. I am a Virgo with long black hair and hazel eyes and 5'11 . Even though i am a bit closed off, I actually love it when people appreciate or hug me 😊. People tell me I am a good listener and often come for advice . I love music , reading, pets and I am artistic i am majoring in computerized accounting which is mainly accounting . Can you do a jjba matchup headcanon if possible or any other anime you can ignore if it's stupid

Bestie, I'm sorry but what? I highly doubt that you actually read any of my stuff considering that you nonchalantly broke several rules just like that.

Honestly stuff like this makes me really angry. Can you people really not be bothered to take a look at my description or my pinned post? Is that too much to ask for?

Normally I just delete these kinds of asks but this one just confused me so much and frustrated me.

It says right here, at the very top of my blog that requests are closed and it specifically mentions that matchups are closed as well, specifically for the reason that people kept sending them in even when I made it clear that I wasn't doing them anymore.

I'll never understand how someone can just so confidently request something without taking a single glance at a writer's blog? Was that too much work to check if requests were actually open? Or to look at my rules?

Even the text in the inbox says that requests are closed so there's really no excuse there

Also notice how it doesn't say jjba anywhere on there? Maybe because I don't write for that anymore?

Fun fact

It also says right in my pinned post that I wrote for jjba in the past

It also says one more time that requests are closed right at the top of that post so there's no excuse that it was hidden behind a read more or anything.

Even then, it says that the rules are beneath the read more but you clearly didn't check

And you know, what if we take a look at these rules that I even say you should read before sending in a request right there??

Yes, exactly. Do you see jjba listed there anywhere?? No?? Maybe it's because I don't write for it anymore and haven been writing for it for an entire year so I don't get how you came to the conclusion to send in that request

Why do you think I wrote a post about my rules? Why do you think I linked them both in my description and my pinned post in bolded letters with a reminder to please read them?

Because people don't respect a writer's time and so they can't be bothered to read even the very basics.

I can 99% guarantee that you somehow found one of my old matchup posts and then without taking a single look at my blog, you went straight into my ask box to request a matchup.

Any you know why that is? Because you don't actually care about me as a writer or person and just saw another opportunity to copy-paste the same matchup ask to another blog. Because we're all just writing machines and not actual people so you can't extend the common courtesy of actually looking if it was okay to request that

I'm sorry that I'm taking all of this out on you right now anon, but you weren't the first person to do this. How is it that these people are apparently good enough at reading to read my posts but then lack all reading comprehension when it comes to sending a request?

It shouldn't be my duty to correct people or delete asks just because they didn't care enough to check if it was okay.

Writers are putting out content for free and so if you want them to write something for you in their free time I think it's fair to at least ask that you look at the rules yourself instead of just sending in whatever without a care in the world.

I just don't understand. Whenever I send in a request I triple-check the rules and the request status to make absolutely sure that what I was asking was okay and so I wouldn't waste an author's time

Why is that so hard to do?

Please read the rules and description, they're there for a reason, people 😭

being immunocompromised at christmas is a blast. sitting across the table from "oh it's fine i did a test it isn't covid 😇 coughcoughcoughcoughcough" cool i'll just fuck myself i guess!

[coulsonlives]

That feeling when you follow blogs with a single, very rigid theme for months and then you get pan-smacked by untagged current events posts out of nowhere

Tag your current events please, especially if people have no reason to suspect you'll stray from your main theme, I beg

[torgawl]

can't believe i'm getting sick. and i also cracked the back of my phone by accident because nothing was going my way today. wow, great christmas
