[orcinus-veterinarius]

When horses end up with severe leg/hip injuries, they are almost always put to sleep. The odds of recovering full mobility from such injuries are slim and the odds of reinjury are high, so even if the horse is perfectly healthy in all other aspects, it is generally recognized to be more humane to put them down than to keep them alive just to live the rest of their lives limping around a small paddock or stall. A life for a horse in which s/he cannot gallop, leap, explore and play is no life at all. Why not apply the same logic to cetaceans? A life for a cetacean in which they can’t dive hundreds of meters, make meaningful autonomous choices (“should I play with the rubber ball or the puzzle feeder today?” is not a meaningful choice; research has shown that autonomy is crucial for animal welfare), echolocate and experience the rich biodiversity of the ocean is no life. I really don’t understand why it’s so horrible to think it more humane to euthanize a confused and sick orca calf if there is no chance of rehab and release than to take her/him permanently into captivity. It’s not disparaging or hateful to cetacean trainers to say so—I know they care about animals—it’s simply a logical ethical stance. Instead of searching in vain for orca conservation organizations that aren’t “radically anti-captivity”, maybe pro-caps should look inwards and ask themselves why all the major orca organizations (Center for Whale Research, Orca Behavior Institute, OrcaLab, Wild Orca, Orca Conservancy, Far East Russia Orca Project, etc.) as well as some cetacean organizations (ex. Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Cetacean Society International) oppose captivity. Is it because all of these esteemed groups, which if you look them up are all staffed by credentialed scientists, have been duped by the “animal rights agenda”, or could it be because maybe, just maybe, they know what they’re talking about? If captive orcas are so different from wild ones that wild orca biologists have no credibility to speak about their welfare, then that’s a clear indictment of captivity already.

Hi. I'm sorry for not answering right away, I was still at my externship when I got your ask, and I wanted to be able to sit down and give you a proper answer. So unfortunately, I don't think what I say will satisfy you. I don't expect to change your mind, nor is that my goal here. I only want to explain why I believe the way I do, so that you or others reading this can at least understand that it's not a position I take lightly, nor do I think it's infallible.

(Long post below the cut):

To start off, as an (almost) veterinarian, there are absolutely plenty of circumstances where I find euthanasia to be the correct decision. Euthanasia is our final gift to our patients, a swift and painless death in the face of prolonged suffering or poor quality of life. A large dog with debilitating osteoarthritis. A cat with terminal lymphoma. A down cow. A raptor with an amputated leg. Or like you mentioned, a horse with a fractured hip. These animals would live in a constant state of pain that they don't understand, and death can rightly be considered a kindness to them.

But an otherwise healthy orca calf? I would consider that a false equivalence. I agree that life in the wild should be prioritized whenever possible, and that captive orcas lead very different lives than their wild counterparts. But if that orca cannot return to the wild (orphaned and unable to be reunited with its pod, habituated to humans, non-painful disability such as deafness), and there is a facility willing to take it on, I do not think euthanasia is an appropriate option. In human care, that calf can still swim, breach, and dive, even if not to the same depths as the ocean (it's also worth noting that these are all costly behavior energetically and are not performed for no reason). It can still socialize and form family bonds with an adopted pod of whales. It can still (theoretically) mate and rear calves. It can still engage its big brain in problem-solving through training and enrichment in the place of hunting. And as a bonus, it will never go hungry and has access to veterinary care if ill or injured.

This is not a wild life. This is not the same life they would've, or should've known. A pool, no matter how well-appointed, is not the ocean, and we should not claim they're comparable. But I don't think it's a fate worse than death. I truly don't. But if it is... if freedom really is worth more than life, then all captive whales need to be euthanized. Even in a sea pen setting, they will not be free. They will not choose their food, their companions, their enrichment, their comings and goings. Those choices will still be made on their behalf by caregivers, and they will still have pretty much the same levels of autonomy as in their tank habitat. They will still be captive. (While some people do advocate for this, I don't think it's a popular outlook. Even SOS Dolfijn, a historically anti-cap organization, recently announced plans to build an aqauarium as a permanent home for non-releasable cetaceans rather than continuing to euthanize them).

Speaking of autonomy, yes, it is very important. But I truly don't think the orcas are distressed by the lack of meaning in choosing between enrichment devices. I think that's why we disagree on this topic... we have different worldviews. We both see orcas as beautiful, intelligent creatures, but I do not see them as people. They are animals, and for all their complexity, I interpret their behavior the same way I do any other species... they are motivated by food, reproduction, and (since they're highly social) companionship. Because of that, I still think we can give them a good life in human care, which is why it frustrates me to see the zoo community throw up their hands and give up rather than trying to improve our current less-than-ideal setups (*shakes my fist at the Blue World project*).

Now, I don't think it's wrong to be emotional about animals. I most definitely am! And it's very clear to me you love orcas and care about their wellbeing deeply. I admire that about you, and I appreciate your passion.

On to the next point... in the cetacean world, I've found that there is an unfortunate divide between researchers and caregivers who work with cetaceans in human care and those who study them exclusively in the wild. And that schism far predates the Blackfish era. Most of those organizations you listed are indeed legitimate, and I fully support their vital work and encourage others to do the same. A few of them, though, share things like this:

I think you can understand why this hurts me. And it's a lie. I've now interned at three aquariums (two of them AZA-accredited) that house various species of cetacean, and it's impossible for me to reconcile what I know and have seen to be true and what Whale and Dolphin Conservation wants the public to believe: that these unbelievably loved, vivacious animals are drugged and tortured by their greedy captors. It's not true, and I do not appreciate WDC for spreading this creepy artwork around. Nor do I think that fighting captivity is a beneficial allocation of resources when there is an overwhelming number of genuine threats to the survival of wild cetaceans.

Anyway, back to the scientists. Personally, I don't consider researchers who work exclusively with wild orcas to be either superior or inferior to those who work with captive whales. And sometimes I wonder how much of their position is a self-fulfilling prophecy: if someone opposes captivity on moral grounds, they won't work with captive whales, so they'll never get to know what their lives and care are like beyond maybe a single tour of the park or memories of how things were done in the 1960s (like Dr. Spong, who worked with some of the very first captive orcas at the Vancouver Aquarium).

I also don't think it diminishes the expertise of wildlife biologists to say that they are not experts on husbandry, training, or medical care... those are very different fields, and ideally, they should all inform each other. And of course, there are folks who work with both wild and captive whales. One of the reasons I linked SR3 in my previous post is they have staff with backgrounds in both managed care and research of free-ranging populations (I actually have no idea what the organization's official stance on captivity is, it's not something they address).

Maybe I'm wrong. I try my best to keep an open mind, but I know I'm also swayed by my own preconceptions and experiences. When I started this blog in December 2020, I was a first year vet student with minimal actual experience outside of domestic animals and some herps, and had only recently adopted the pro-captivity outlook. Now, I'm much more deeply involved in the zoo and aquarium world. These are people I know and respect, people who have written me letters of recommendation and comment on my Facebook posts, people I've had dinner with and showed up with after hours to care for a sick animal. And I recognize that biases me. The zoo world is often resistant to change, especially folks who have been in the industry for many years. And that doesn't do anyone, especially the animals, any good. I don't want to get stuck in an echo chamber, so I make it a point to read anti-captivity literature, even when it upsets me. If there is anything I can do to improve their lives, I want to learn about it, regardless of the source.

I try to adapt to new information. For example, in the past few months alone, I've become a lot more favorable toward the idea of sea pen habitats. My concerns about "sanctuaries" are more logisitical* and philosophical** rather than the idea that artifical habitats are inherently superior to pen habitats (they're not), especially when plenty of traditional facilites already make great use of ocean pens or enclosed lagoons. There are pros and cons to both, and a lot of it depends on the needs of the individual animals.

*funding; maintenance; lack of land-based backup pools and fully-equipped medical facilities; introducing immunologically naive animals to pollutants and infectious agents; disruptions to native wildlife; staffing activists and wildlife biologists rather than those with relevant husbandry experience

**villainizing aquariums; promoting the project as a "release to freedom" to the public when it's really another form of captivity; claiming the animals' lives will be "natural" when they will still require training, artificial enrichment, contraceptives, and social management if done correctly; downplaying or completely denying the very real risks of such a transition and insisting the animals will automatically be better off when Little White and Little Grey have proved that's not the case

If you made it to the bottom, thanks for reading. I wish all the best for you, and I mean that genuinely ❤️ even if we disagree, I hope you can appreciate our shared love for these animals and a desire for their wellbeing. Best of luck in all your endeavors!

I am going to take a break from milgramblr

[important please read]

ok now how do I start. Im going to take a break from tumblr for about a week. Things have been absolutely awful for me here since the very beginning of 2024, even if it may not look that way at times.

to retell the situation it happened with the new years gartic phone game, where someone made a prompt about a ship that made me heavily uncomfortable. To put it loosely it reminded me of an extremely bad experience with a fandom a few years ago when I called out a ship for being creepy and having a huge age gap but I was constantly dogpiled and harassed. It was probably the worst experience I’ve had on the internet and to this day I get really scared of people hating on me and I apologise for everything likely stemming back from the situation.

I tried to persist with the game but I got really upset and left. I expressed on my blog how uncomfortable I felt about the whole situation. Then this one person, who’s a prominent figure in the Milgramblr community, I won’t name them but I think you’ll know who, replied on my post saying that “it’s ok because…” in such an awful tone. It’s hard to explain but basically it felt really bad as they completely dismissed my feelings about the situation just to justify their creepy ship. And even worse, they way they responded was EXACTLY the same way that everyone else responded back in to at old fandom. At the point to I’d much prefer hate and harassment over that false positive attitude.

I freaked out and immediately blocked them and basically went into a panic attack. I was freaking out on my blog and just to make things worse I saw a post praising them and things got so bad. It was the start of the new year and I was on holiday and was supposed to do a bunch of things but because of that situation I was bedridden and couldn’t stop crying. I had so many nightmares about everyone here turning on me and the original incident and I still have them.

the way the person reacted to my situation was absolutely awful. After my breakdown they immediately went to their blog and started posting about how the ships good and you should praise it completely disregarding everything that happened. I’ve always been uncomfortable with them but this pushed me over the edge. And later on I got in contact with someone who was (presumably) trying to help me and we decided to see if that person could make an apology. But they took way to long to even think they gave any attention to the situation and the apology itself didn’t feel that genuine.

This person was still posting about it and didn’t change their pfp and title despite how bad it was to me and they did not do anything at all. Again I’m not naming anyone but I highly recommend you do not support them anymore. I said I’m going to be leaving for a while but if you want clarification on who it is you can just ask, I’ll check my stuff tomorrow morning before I completely shut off for the week.

I don’t know who it was but there was even a throwaway account hating on me and saying awful things. I didn’t care that much as things had already gotten so bad for me that I didn’t care about the opinion of an anon. But like I said, the sickly positive response that person gave was way worse than actual hate.

and that’s only one part of the story. Another thing happened much more recently with the person I mentioned who was trying to help me. They were the first person I followed on Milgramblr and the person who inspired me to join and make all these theories, so with this and them helping me I really looked up to them. It was a few days ago I think but they posted something on their account about that person and wanting attention to them. I expressed my uncomfortable feelings about the situation and they didn’t do anything about it. Instead they decided to KEEP POSTING about it, like constantly and me getting more upset at the situation and how they responded made it clear that they didn’t care at all. I blocked them and we were mutuals for a while.

It’s been a month and I’m still suffering very badly. I’m not constantly crying as I was when it first happened but it still pains me. I’ve been feeling incredibly distressed on this sight knowing that the original person hasn’t done anything about it and they’re still very close. No matter how much I block them or blog tags I still see them in reblogs or bought up. I had to exclude anything relating to the earbuds collab from my milgram archives as it gives me back really bad memories to the pfps involved. I just can’t feel safe in this place anymore and especially that no matter how I feel, nothing has changed since when it happened and no one’s even actually trying to help me or change things.

I’ve just been feeling so bad that I’ve been going days without eating. Just because I can’t be bothered to get out of bed. The only solace for me is sleep but even that’s not good enough as I might have nightmares and I often feel much more tired afterwards. Things are changing for me as I actually have to get up and do something now and it’s surprisingly going kinda well, but that has nothing to do with this situation.

just to note I will be continuing my milgram archives series, I’ve scheduled quite a few posts for this week so they’ll keep going. For me I’ll completely cut off all activity for this week, and may return on Wednesday.

it’s just. I hate how nothings changed. I want something to happen but no one’s helping

#I don’t know how many people will see this #i don’t even know if people will care about this #perhaps I just come back and everything’s the fucking same #I’ve been considering leaving the fandom because of this and I guess this would be to see what’s it’s like #If it’s better to stay or to leave #I’ve blocked so many people from this situation it’s hard to believe #people I thought I could trust… #To say it once again #If you know the person I’m referring to please unfollow them and don’t support them #I can tell you if you ask for a while #And just seeing all the praise the fandom got with people saying the fandom is such a nice and wholesome space is sickening #It was right after what happened and it’s just awful seeing people say that like they don’t care about what happened #They even started a minecraft server which I wanted to join #But avoided like the plague when I realised it was the person who started the original prompt #There was also a thing that happened recently where someone drew all their mutuals as cats #I ended up seeing that person in one of the cats and knowing that they followed them I instantly unfollowed #The cat pfps just make me so uncomfortable as it constantly reminds of the situation #It sounds stupid because it is but I’m at the point where any little reminder can set me off #But it’s not as bad as the collab pfps which I just can’t look at anymore #Although it’s only with a few characters that really make me feel that the art style in general just gives bad memories #To what I said earlier I don’t know anything about the person the originally made the prompts stand on this #I don’t know if they’re purposely ignoring me I don’t know if they even have no idea this is happening but I’m worried #I’ve also had experiences with a bunch of people I used to follow blocking me #And I’ve talked about it here but no one pays attention

the agony of enjoying MULTIPLE THINGS AT ONCE. How do people do it….

#part of me is like. ok is it actually the best move to just have separate sideblogs for every interest #cause I always feel weird and insecure abt being a multifandom blog. For some reason #I’m like aaa I’ll annoy people if I post things they’re not interested in! :( they’ll be disappointed in or frustrated in me! #and then the evil (read:normal) Kermit side of me is like girl it’s not that serious #you are not important enough for ppl to be worked up about your blogging habits lmao #if they’re annoyed they unfollow. swell. neato. #u can trust people to curate their own online experience. It’s not your job to post what they want you just do what you want. on ur own blog #do u follow #Sméagol me: yes ma’am #(I mentally switched to gollum instead of Kermit btw) #gollum me: it’s normal to like more than one thing. good even. and you will go through phases anyway #that’s life silly. You’ll have different moods at different times. and maybe completely different interests in the future #are you gonna make a new blog every time you enjoy something. #your interest are fluid but your identity is rooted in something beyond them. Right #you can just be a person who’s always changing but is also essentially the same. that’s humanity hun. do you understand #Sméagol me: yes #gollum: good #Sméagol: but also what if it’s hard to be friends with someone who has 3–4 interests #gollum: good grief

[feluka]

i'm going to be embarrassingly open about something very personal right now: as stupid as this sounds, the finale of GOS2 has entirely reverted me to the moment in my life when i was a bright-eyed lovestruck teenager who put *all* my plans and hopes and dreams for a better future for myself into one relationship, and then got horrifically dumped in a way that made me feel entirely worthless as a person for a long, long time

#like suddenly i can feel it like it was yesterday that it happened to me and i just feel something awful in the pit of my stomach #and want to curl up and sleep and not talk to anyone for at least several months #which is a sign of good fiction when it makes you project THAT STRONGLY onto a character. it means they did something right #but good god it doesn't stop it from hurting OWWWWWWWWW #god i swore i's try to keep the gomens posting to a minimum because #i know the dash is about to become intolerable for people who don't care about it because so many people are talking about it #but at this point i would say. if you find this annoying i really wouldn't fault you for unfollowing! #bec i feel like i've just gone on an entire spiritual journey in one night and i'm only going to get more annoying about it lol #gos2 spoilers #also im pretty sure she won't see this considering she's never been on tumblr (or any social media really) #but if she somehow does: hi! i'm still damaged! no hard feelings tho!

I would like to take a second today to just reiterate how slow I am. I’m double-majored, stressed as fuck 24/7 because I’m away from home, and even when I AM home or otherwise have downtime there’s like a dozen other things I’d like to do, too. or even *need* to do because I have livestock and family with livestock. I’m just… so slow. I’m sorry if I can’t interact with you in (x) amount of time but tumblr isn’t a job. or even school. I’m just here to collect some feel good about my silly little witch when I can.

Mm man I dont like getting involved in drama but just gonna say this here cause its really bothering me and I’m starting to get uncomfy about this too

The colour stuff is all fun and games, which is why I made my own colour poll about which is the worst of very popular colours, but people are being coming off too mean about this all.

We only have 10 out of 160 colours to pick from and its all EXTREMELY subjective so theres bound to be a colour you dont like / do like slip in. Tumblr can be a tad too comfortable about being mean to people jokingly, and tone online is tricky.

If someone says they don’t like your tone and language, even if you meant it as a joke, respect them and stop. Especially if it’s their own post or in DMs. Apologise for coming off that way instead of doubling down for the bit.

It’s just colours in a dragon game man

#i also get upset about people being mean to me online. I said i was ok with it in the colour poll #mostly cause ik it was going to happen regardless and id rather it be directed towards me than others #but man! it sticks with me and I have to try so hard not to apologise for everything #feel free to block or unfollow if you dont like this take jnifsnjodfs #im just so tired of all this arguing and never throwing in my two cents #vent #/tw vent

[raskies456]

tumblr should make a feature that gives you a pop up warning when you’re about to follow a blog you’ve previously followed and then unfollowed multiple times imo

#this is mostly a joke I don’t expect them to do this #but also I would genuinely benefit from this #I will see a blog that looks somewhat familiar and go huh I thought I followed you? #and then two days later see a nasty take and go. ah. right #like. I can’t keep track of which people I unfollowed for takes that didn’t feel block worthy #vs people who just look like other people I follow #or people who I see reblogged a lot on my dash #or people who are side blogs of people I follow #or just ‘I know I followed you but maybe tumblr accidentally made me unfollow?’ #this is also why I explicitly ask people to hard block me instead of soft block me btw bc I will Not realize I am being softblocked #and may just keep coming back #but yeah guess what happened again #I may just also start hardblocking people I guess so that I see that they’re blocked #when I try to follow #but a lot of the time this is over stuff that isn’t a huge deal I just don’t want to see it #and I don’t actually care if that person interacts with me #456 words

hello, you lovely lil beans!! i know my activity has already been low and sporadic, so this won’t be much of a surprise, but sadly, i’m placing this blog on indefinite semi-hiatus. my motivation and overall mood just haven’t been where they need to be lately, especially with work and school/life stuff happening. it’ll all pass, but in the meantime, i need to be kind to myself and not force myself to be here if i don’t feel up to it. 

i don’t want anyone thinking i’m abandoning this blog! i don’t think i could ever do that now, not when i’ve met so many wonderful people on this silly lil site :’ ) i just need a break while i get my mental health in a better state. i do very much want to write, and i know there will be days in which i feel up to being here, so that’s why this is just a semi-hiatus! i promise you’ll see and here from me on occasion, even if i’m extra slow about it uvu

pls remember to take care of yourselves and be safe, and thank you for being so patient with me all this time!! i’ll never be able to express how thankful i am <3

#get ready to ramble | ooc #really it's a huge comfort knowing so many people are willing to wait on me ;;;;;;; #but also pls know i totally understand if you choose to unfollow me! bc i just have no idea when i'll be feeling more myself #and this also goes for people waiting on me to message them!! thank you so much for being patient #it's just kinda hard for me to get myself to be social even though it should be easy -- especially now #so really from the bottom of my heart i appreciate you all ;3; #alright now!! i'm gonna watch hocus pocus and see if i can't get a some drafts typed up!! #fingers crossed i'm successful!!

I'm genuinely not trying to be rude so I hope you don't take it that way but I followed you for your writing and you don't even write that much anymore

you know you can always unfollow this blog, right

#i don't really check my notifications for my main all that much anymore and this is the reason #i get that part of it is because people appreciate my writing and want more of it #but have you considered #i have a life? crazy ik #between senior year and university applications and and traveling to and from egypt i think you should get why i don't have as much time #to finish wips and post them #it bothers me even more than it bothers you trust me lol #not a day goes by when i don't think about how i have so many unfinished wips that i just don't have the time or energy to complete rn #but also like. my future's at stake here lol this is a very crucial period of my life sorry writing fanfiction isn't my priority rn #also ???? what's wrong with keeping other types of fan content on my main LMAO #legitimately don't?? understand?? the problem with that??? they're all fandoms that i write for what's the issue here 😭 #if it's flooding your dash (even though it's presumably from fandoms you followed me for skull emoji) unfollow this blog no hard feelings #don't tell me how to run my blog ty #anyway if you think this in any way shape or form makes me wanna write again i'm sorry to disappoint 💀 #silky smooth chats #anon

i'm sorry but as someone who is always trying to understand most things and most people, the reaction a lot of folks have of immediately dismissing something or jumping to an outrage without having a second to try to reflect on a situation or process empathy is something that i will never relate to and i consider to be a bad mentality to have if left unchecked actually

#not a response to any specific situations that might or might not be the topic of conversation today on tumblr dot com #it's just a general thought that i always have. #and i tend to unfollow people for this sometimes lmao sorry. it just makes me uncomfortable. and i see it frequently. #i've said this before but #i feel like often you can kinda see who has had life experiences that were unfair to them and being angry was their way out into freedom #(which does make sense in the transgender and gay website) #so they default to applying that state to most things because it is What Feels Right To Me Actually and i can't blame them for doing so. #but then there's people like me who like. my life experiences have led me into the Guilt Pit #where i am trying extremely hard to be measured and understanding because i have been very emotionally reactive in the past #or have witnessed things where very emotionally reactive people have caused horrible things to others around them #and i hate that actually and i try as hard as i can not to be that. #which is why i also feel like whenever i see it in other people i'm like. oh boy. i would not get along with you lmao. #and i feel like these are two opposite mentalities that are definitely detrimental to you if gone too far into either direction #so i don't necessarily think either is bad or anything. as long as you're able to pull yourself back and realize that like #you Should dedicate some thought to the rest of the world actually and not default to just ''what i feel is correct always'' #and on the other end realize that sometimes you just have to Let Go #because caring about Everything is unrealistic and you will go Insane and lose your own self if you try to feel for too many other things #which is what i had to learn the hard way. #and also like. sometimes the immediate ''fuck you'' reaction Is super valid. and it's important to learn when that is the case. #but yeah. anyway. mentality. ways of seeing the world. people being different. wooooo. #rambling again in tags sorry.

i’m gonna be honest about something there are still things i’m afraid to post about on here bc i’m always worried about what other people think of me. so if i suddenly start rbing shit from a fandom you wouldn’t expect or a ship you don’t like, please be prepared. i’m sorry but i’m trying to practice self-care <33

#im trying not to care #its hard when i constantly see ppl shitting on characters i like that are overrated or overhated #or fandoms that everyone seems to dislike #im a naturally sensitive person and im not trying to sound annoying when i say that but its true #i get pissy and i get rly sad rly easily. and i feel rejected sometimes. (probably the rsd if i do have adhd tbh 💀💀 i also have anxiety and #im p sure you can have rsd w anxiety) #but yeah i know i keep making these dramatic ass posts abt fandoms but its stressing me out sm just thinking abt posting from a fandom #that i think you guys would find me weird for posting abt #and its not even that bad its just fandoms that have had drama or some shit. that ive literally never been involved in bc i live under a #rock and just like to read the fics #but yh just. im feeling resentment towards the tumblr community lately bc i constantly feel judged so if i start randomly unfollowing ppl #then ive reached my breaking point #sorry guys 😔🙏 like i said i gotta practice self-care at some point #literally everyone else just posts what they want to have post and im trying to afraid conflict or smth by not posting abt some things #but ykw i really dont want to give a shit #so yh im gonna try #and you guys can either deal w it or unfollow bc you think im weird ig 💀💀 even though this is literally tumblr 💀💀 but you do you #also pretend i said avoid conflict not afraid #somewhat a vent post? #ALSO SHIPS OMG #i do not give a fuck okay #if the ship is not weird i could not give less of a shit #ship madwheeler for all i care!! its so annoying when theres this constant feeling of judgment surrounding every ship communities deem weird #even though the actual weird ships are out there. being read abt. being shipped. #oh and another thing #theres a difference between ships you ship in canon and ships you ship only in fanon. like its so annoying when ppl say a ship doesnt make #sense this is what fanfiction is for !! #also i like my crack ships and im not going to stop enjoying fanfic just bc ppl think a ship isnt as good as their favorites 🫶🫶 #anygays tumblr stop being so judgmental challenge /aff 🫶 rly need to curate my experience or im gonna go insane #PRETEND I SAID WHAT THEY WANT TO POST CRYING THE TYPOS

if i've unfollowed you for not filling out my interest tracker, and you fill it out as non-mutuals, i will refollow you. if we're mutuals on any of my other blogs and i unfollow you here there is no other reason for it than you never having let me know which of my muses you want to write with and thus i will gladly become mutuals again if you ever decide to. that said, i referenced my newest interest tracker (live since i think april or may last year) when looking at who to unfollow. if i've made a mistake and you've told me in ims, we already have any interactions going, filled out the old tracker, changed your url and i didn't recognise your entry, etc. feel free to yell at me on ims or discord or just redo the tracker?

#i only unfollow for not doing the tracker if we have ZERO interaction going on like if you've sent one (1) in-character meme that's fine #but also when i do the unfollow i won't go through all of my ims and asks to check thus filling it out is safest unless we actively write #like as long as i REMEMBER we have one (1) interaction going or you messaged me with one time with interest in a muse then n/a to you #but i have to... remember that and i have memory issues #if i've unfollowed you the past 24 hours it was 100 percent the interest tracker other than #i also unfollowed some archived blogs because well they are archived #but in general if i ever unfollow here but remain mutuals on my singlemuse blogs: it's the interest tracker and nothing else #also no hard feelings i am chill #; outofsmoke

hot take but is there any other panic blogs i can follow that aren’t either extreme brendon haters or extreme brendon lovers and just post silly images and text . or am i the only one

#i can feel people unfollowing me already #it’s just ANNOYING . i said it it’s annoying on both sides. and being in the middle not exactly caring about either one is just 😒 #like no i don’t care about your brendon hate. i also don’t care if you wanna defend him to the ends of the earth #i just want cool little fever era pics on my dash without drama is that too much to ask for!!! #like god dam everyone. chill out and move on it’s not hard and i’ve kind of had it… #ry speaks #patd #panic! at the disco #p!atd #like has anyone realized the dwindling panic content on here . it’s not on purpose . it’s just that every blog has either died or #become an anti #i can probably count active blogs on one hand
