i was thinking about that ask i received the other day and how uncharacteristically upset the topic had made me when i usually just think "mh. gross!" and move on, and after mulling it over a while i realized it wasn't about the topic at all, it was the ask itself that freaked me out. i've mentioned sporadically before (for obvious reasons lol) that i used to be involved in fandom discourse when i was younger and that!! fucked me up quite a lot. between exacerbating my ocd and straight up getting cyber stalked (i almost feel guilty using that word, like i don't deserve it but. yeah that is 100% what happened to me), the topic is something I have very complex and personal opinions on but that i hate talking about in public because it still sets off my fight or flight response.

i know some people in the fandom are like "let me know if i ever rb someone who wrote/drew gross stuff" and that's entirely their choice and i respect it. but for the record, i am not one of these people. please, for the love of god, i am asking this genuinely do NOT come into my DMs about this, I don't want to know. assume I'm either living in blissful ignorance or my blacklist already covers me quite nicely & i wanna keep it that way. i vastly prefer the discomfort of stumbling into something unprepared and deciding what to do about it on my own, to the utter pit of dread i get whenever i open a message that starts with "hey just so you know-". i have blocked multiple people in the past over it. i WILL block more. be warned.

[note. this doesn't apply to people who have either hurt or behaved inappropriately with other members of the fandom, or spread bigotry and discrimination like racists and transphobes. please do let me know in those cases]

does this make sense? idk I'm kinda feverish you guys figure it out. I'm going to sleep.

There is nothing more disgusting than “I told you so”ing people when something has gone down. This is not the time to tell us how much smarter and greater you are. “ha ha you fell for it good job getting CONNED” what cool way to respond when there’s a victim, instead of like “gosh I hope so and so is well” We don’t WANT people to be bad and garbage, we want people to get BETTER

And if you don’t, you’re not here for a better world, you’re here to gloat and prop yourself up over the situation..

Anyway yes this is cryptic, if you know you know. I’m going to let the person affected have the chance to actually fucking tell us in their own time. 

gonna bury myself in work, having kind of an unexpected physical and mental response to this news and in order to not fall apart (which I can’t do b/c I have work to do and a family to support) I need to just NOT process this right now.

i think everyone on sunnytwt needs to be sat down so i can explain to them what basic human empathy is. and then maybe i put them in a blender until they agree to write meta about the characters instead of whether or not charlie day got facial reconstruction surgery.

Anyone else always check the age of someone before they follow lest they make a younger person/teen uncomfortable?

My entire brain is probably going to be consumed by yellowjackets this month but I also am drowning just a lil

I have multiple papers I have to write & research to do & stats assignments etc this month. The semester ends 4/27 and then I have a month off before summer classes but have to work on a paper then too. Suffice to say I want to be here but final stretch of the semester so you know. Weeps.

sometimes I think on the options of FIP treatment in Germany and get sad

Being around western MLs and various other communists is just playing a game of "how much fucked up claims about SSSR/other socialist countries can I stomach today?" There is no winning this game, it's miserable whatever you pick.
