you're really annoying but in, like, a refreshing way?
I'm sincerely flattered, anon. I worked very hard to become really annoying. 💞✌️
#To be a little serious but I have worked hard on being annoying on the internet! It makes enjoying my blog a lot easier.#Secret is — to paraphrase what an editor of mine said to me — to have a bit of a provocateur sensibility‚ a confidence in your perspective‚#the restraint to not cater or bend to people who are seeking your validation‚ the poise to not get actually upset about online arguments‚#the focus to not be negative for sole sake of haterism and avoid stewing in bitterness‚ the judgment to know when it's better to shitpost‚#and a slight touch of narcissism enough to believe your opinion is SO important and you're SO right and need to be THE person to say this.#I am in fact very annoying and I'm a touch vain and proud of it. I genuinely worked very hard to become annoying. Taking up space is hard.#A lot of people over the years think that I genuinely get very upset or angry when people don't like me and I simply don't.#I have cultivated a very specific vibe online and in many irl contexts in which I am a very implacable and annoying dumbass woman.#And I'm very proud of it. It's nice to have a reputation for being someone who sticks by her dumbass perspective.#Even if it tends to attract a lot of adversarial energy from people who want my validation real bad or have something to prove.#At any rate. I recommend to everyone letting go of your fear that people find you annoying and say whatever opinions you have about stuff.#I assume this is re: fandom things and to that I say: like genuinely it's just fandom. The stakes are so low.#Don't seek validation from other people. Let yourself annoy other people.#Legit it's a be yourself and have fun thing.
