NEW RULE/RANT. I WILL SHUT UP SHORTLY, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO GO OUT OF MY WAY ON THIS::
This applies to all of my blogs from this day forward.
Let me preface this by saying I really did not feel the need to have to state this, but since I did, it’s clearly a problem. This is going to be long, and it might piss someone off, but I am making tumblr a good place for me since I decided to return.
When I share my discord, I do so because I want to be friends with people. It’s my hope that we can vibe well and that we can be some sort of friends, because it makes me more comfortable writing. I do my damnedest to always be there for people, but I cannot and will not promise constant contact with you. I have something called ASPD coupled with horrendous PTSD. I try not to disappear for a whole month, but I do sometimes. The easiest way to get ahold of me is through discord. I am always on. It’s on my phone. I will get back to you, even if it takes me a day or so. Sometimes longer. I’m going through some shit, like I said.
Let’s talk about why it’s an issue, now. Why I felt the need to make this a whole rule and give it it’s own section.
I recently had someone who I thought was a friend just disappear from two of the SIX blogs I followed them on. That’s right. Six. Count them. It happened the day I wanted to try my hand and putting all my little eggs right back on tumblr. People drift off all the time. No one owes anyone anything, and I get that. I do. I don’t get saying no one cares about you, when you knew full well I wasn’t doing well between my IVF ( and yes, I am going through IVF. Daily shots. Weekly Doctor visits for a slim chance at having a baby with my spouse ). And on top of that, the event that caused my PTSD is right around the corner as this is posted. DO NOT ACT LIKE AN ABSOLUTE DICK WHEN I DO NOT RESPOND TO YOUR EVERY MESSAGE.
See, when you disappear from two, and follow me from four more, I am going to come check on you. Because, mind you, I have no clue what is going on at that moment. I am going to make sure you’re okay, apologize for my absence like I always do, and I am going to determine if you meant to or not. I am going to follow that up with wishing you well and, if I determined you unfollowed me intentionally, I am not going to follow up that initial message. I never will. Why, right?
The issue comes up when you claim friendship and communication is a two-way street, talk mad shit to your other friends like I won’t hear about it, and act like someone personally victimizes you by CHECKING on you when someone comes out of a bad mental place to ENGAGE with you. Mind you, you don’t do the same thing. You expect me to know everything about your muses but won’t give me any room to write with you, only want to talk about your muse or come to me when you feel a type of way.
I DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO PUT UP WITH IT. I DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE TO CODDLE ANYONE.
Not when I actively apologize for things I can’t control.
Not when I actively come try to talk to you every once in a while when I cannot get my shit together long enough to go grocery shopping.
I always start ‘my dumbass is back’ messages with wishing you well and making sure we’re good on a friendship level, because I genuinely want to be a good friend to everyone I meet.
But to say I don’t give a shit about you and your muse? Keep that over there, because evidence will always say otherwise.
I adore passion and feelings about your muses. I understand not having a muse or a new muse. I understand just needing a friend, and to the best of my ability, I will do that for you.
I will be there as much as I can for everyone I ever meet.
The thing is, if you soft block me without telling me, I am gonna think something happened and tumblr screwed off, so I am going to TALK TO YOU.
The easiest way to avoid any sort of bullshit is by saying SOMETHING. Be that I feel like we moved in different directions or I just don’t think our muses work.
I won’t put up with being made to feel bad because I have a hard time mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I won’t put up with vague posting about me when I simply wanted to make sure you were okay and that I, in my silence, didn’t hurt you some way. Because AGAIN, I value every person I have ever met and have been able to become friends with here.
NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. Make anyone feel bad for needing to be away from here. NEVER make anyone feel bad for a time of silence and clarity.
And if you take NOTHING from this rule addition, just know::
IF YOU DO THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR, YOU WILL BE PUT ON MY PERSONAL DNI. I DO NOT WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE WHO DO THIS.
It’s your blog. It’s your muse. Do whatever the fuck you want to, but DEAR GOD, do not call someone your friend and be an absolute dick when they don’t have the strength to be there for you 24/7 or get out of their fucking bed.
I do not want people like that here. I do not want people like that around me.
I do not want to be left to feel like I fucked up because I needed to focus on me for a bit.
