Unfortunately it happened and I'll be offline for awhile.

So very sad thing under the cut.

My grandma is dying soon. Like today or tomorrow soon. I most likely will be gone for a week. Funeral planning, viewing, funeral, legal work.

Yeah. It won't be good.

Gilbert, Olivier, Reim, and Marco all meet up for coffee one day a week and rant about the person they constantly try and fail to keep out of trouble. Some coffee may have alcohol mixed in.

Why don't you trim your posts?

I used to know when to properly do it when editable reblogs still worked but now I don't know proper cut off etiquette. I was here when threads were just gigantic so it's hard to judge. As of right now, I'm only on mobile and I have no idea how to do it on mobile.

Gilbert puffed his cheeks out in annoyance. How could someone possibly mistake him for his brother?

“I’m Gilbert. Vincent has blonde hair. He's normally playing with Master Jack if you want to speak with him.” He waved in the general direction of the courtyard, knowing the two would be there.

“Who are you? Master Glen hasn't introduced me to you, yet.”

"My, my, who do we have here?"

Gilbert stared up at the person in slight confusion. He was supposed to be here so her wasn't doing anything wrong. No one should be here to scold him. "What do you mean? I'm not doing anything wrong."

I cleanned volume 11 cards

Hello thereee.

It has been ages since I did one of this edits/cleanings, but this two gave me a good reason to work again.

In case you didn't know: these are the extra Shikis that will come with volume 11 in Japan.

As usual, feel free to use as whatever and repost with credit.

yet another reminder callout posts don't work

they do contribute to radicalisation because you're actively seeking to cold-turkey cut someone out of their community (and people find community wherever they can find it) (this is a statement of fact it is not debated at all in academic circles. we Know it contributes to radicalisation)

other adults do not need you to tell them who it's "safe" to interact with because they are capable of communicating and emotional management/using the block button

children and young people are largely not your target audience when you make a callout post, and even if they were, using a callout to reach those target audiences is one of the most irresponsible and reckless ways to reach them. accessing these communities of people with reactionary, angry media, and normalising this response (or normalising that it could, or should, happen to them or their friends whenever someone is 'toxic') does not support their health and safety online or in their communities

also the percentage of time where I've seen a callout post whose literally devastating destruction of social networks and support systems has been proportional to the "wrongdoing" listed - is zero. I have never seen that be proportional. 'oh you said/did something dumb (or outright meanspirited) one time, nobody you have relied on for emotional support for the past several months or years will ever like you again, you're a horrible person irretrievably forever'

You are targeting people in a setting (a website) where statistically they are far far more likely in the first place to be neurodivergent, mentally ill and/or other minorities, you are constructing this impact for people who are already some of the most vulnerable, people literally die to this bullshit.

the only thing callout posts achieve is you get to be angry out loud a bit longer and try to dictate who your friends "get" to speak to (and if they have any sense they say "absolutely not" and leave, which mustn't be any fun for you, either). "i wish I didn't have to say this--" you do not. just don't. just do not say it. vent privately to a friend if you desperately need to.

callout posts are insidious, dangerous, and they don't work. stop making them.

How would you feel if someone told you they didn't want to roleplay with you because they didn't like your writing flow?

I wouldn't mind. I know everyone doesn't write the same or prefer how someone writes. If it doesn't mesh, it happens.

If a person doesn't want to be mutuals anymore would you like them to tell you or just unfollow? Why or why not?

It'd be nice to know (mostly if I did something to upset them) but I want the person to be comfortable. If they don't want to say it, they don't have to say it.

Do you have any roleplaying pet peeves?

People who refuse to separate a person and the character. I am not Gilbert. Please do not think I'm him.

If a person drops threads with you do you find that annoying? Why or why not?

I don't find it annoying. I've been doing rp for years. People get bored of what's going on and don't want to continue. Or they just forget about it existing. I only found it annoying in my old Facebook DM days because we could message 100 times in a day and they wouldn't say anything. Tumblr is fine, though.
