sometimes when total strangers commit the crime of being annoying in my reblogs i DM them or reply @ them before blocking simply due to the autistic need to be understood. BUT i have rules for when i'm allowed to do that.
1. i'm not allowed to do it without running the scenario past a groupchat to make sure i'm justified in annoyance and not simply evil (due to migraine, hangry, etc)
2. i have to make it constructive and helpful feedback, such that they can avoid getting blocked in future interactions. which sometimes makes me feel like i'm some sort of tumblr user manners training wizard. eg:
> CHUMMY INSULTS are only funny if you are already MUTUALS WHO TALK. try upgrading your FRIENDSHIP before attempting this maneuver!
> if you don't wish to ANNOY other USERS, try NOT leaving long, off-topic REBLOGS. such REBLOGS may result in other USERS taking the BLOCK action against you, and/or being targeted by a PISS ON THE POOR attack in future interactions!
> unloading your PERSONAL TRAUMA in a STRANGER'S INBOX unprompted is a BOUNDARY VIOLATION!
many such cases. obviously don't phrase it like this unless your goal is to be insanely condescending. but anyway i recommend doing your best to at least mentally frame your feedback this way if you're going to block the motherfuckers anyway.

Hii I love your style of writing so much🫶🫶
I was wondering if I could request the creeps with an s/o that has POTs and/or chronic fainting?
if your too busy please don’t overwork yourself, have a lovely day :D💞
Thank you!!! you too :] I decided to switch things up. Instead of pairing this type of ask with someone who knows what to do I present: Jeff.
Jeff
This mans knows NOTHING.
But he's here for you. Because he loves you so much.
And this guy eats nothing but salty foods, so of course he's gonna eat a chip and then offer you the next one until the bag runs out.
And shit, if you have to take a spoonful of salt with a chaser, then he'll help you with that too.
And he's always hyper-vigilant about any dizzy-like movement you may have, always prepared to catch you.
And when it comes down to it, he'll just carry you wherever you need to go.
He doesn't really know anything else about it except that a.) he needs to catch you when you fall and b.) he loves you and loves to share his food.
Jeff will also check up on you throughout the day if he's working, or just away from home, to make sure you're doing alright.
Jack will give him any tips and advice that Jeff may ask, and will even slide him some prescriptions that may help some of your symptoms.

I really relate to mumbo sometimes - his video “I hate everything I create” really hits home and I think it’s true for a lot of artists. There are so many incredible artists on this platform and sometimes it’s really hard not to nitpick everything I do and compare it to everything else, and to want to force myself to make better stuff before I can show it, even though visual arts is by no means anything more than a hobby for me. It’s kind of ironic cause when I hear other artists talk like that I think they’re being ridiculous - just like mumbo, cause how could anything mumbo makes be bad right? He’s an incredible creator and cinematographer and it seems insane to think that HE wouldn’t think so, but then again I overthink everything I make, even if it’s only for me. Idk. I keep trying to create just for myself, and to make myself happy and not worry about perfection - but I guess it’s a step in every creative process to get over that fear and comparison.

i fucking swear to the Moon, i should ban that person @/burning-cathedrals or something's like that which has just posted supposedly Vessel's ID name here under the main tag. like, it felt much like outing a person, whether the ID info is true or not. who the bloody hell sees it as respect?..
jumpscare check, kinda ugly revenge... check i suppose. too much knowledge corrupts one's mind. like, we could have done the same, our 3/4 lack of empathy being considered, but what's the point and the actual profit? anger and hatred aren't tasty. fuck this shit.

i just saw someone say that "the vast majority of the userbase is complaining" about tumblr's recent layout change. i see this a lot after a change: people complaining about it (sometimes without saying what about it is bad, making it sound like either it's self-evident (it usually is not) or just that it's bad because it's change and change is always bad) and saying that everyone else is complaining about it too. i don't know how to tell you this but a) you don't follow every user on tumblr so how can you possibly know what "everyone" or "the majority of users" thinks about anything and b) ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL VERY STRONGLY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT!! people who are not bothered are not spending time posting about how unbothered they are! please look up "selection bias" and stop making me read this nonsense with my own eyeballs.

Man, going back into the archives of my blog reminded me about all the really creepy anons and creepy weirdos who used to send me messages back in the day. I’m very glad that the anons and messages I get lately are nice and people are 99% friendly but, wow… back then…… those were pretty wild times…

its like. hard to express to people why i love US-comics so much and why i enjoy reading them without mentioning how much fun it is to be in the online communities and be able to like. discuss the themes and meaning and complain about weak writing and bad characterisation to other people that’s like literally half the fun. i LOVE reading comics all the time but its so much more fun when you can talk about it with other people for like superhero us comics. bc theyre such an alive genre that’s basically always moving so we all read our little comics over the week and then we get together and bitch about it in a little online book club. like. it’s the best

hiii:33!! friendly reminder that someone can enjoy a character that has done heinous things and not support said heinous things
usually when a character does Bad Things in a narrative (espec if they're not the protagonist) it is Portrayed As Bad so people who enjoy the character Likely Know They Are Bad
& either way harassing people over enjoying a fictional character is just really childish
if you don't like the character, that is perfectly valid. but there's never any reason to characterise everyone who likes said character as Evil, and/or imply they condone the character's negative actions.
also sometimes i look at internet discourse and it's like people want morally grey characters but then turn around when "morally grey" is not always "i have my own rules but i still make all the right choices !!" some of y'all just need to admit you just like good characters that's fine not everyone is into the spice it's ok to like that good protagonist energy
;;;not saying every character i'm referring to fits in that "morally grey" category, some are just evil villains, but even then i'm sorry 90% of ur stories wouldn't exist without them. they drive the plot.
