So considering the fact that Iâve had a lot of traffic recently, I thought Iâd lay out an idea of some rules when interacting with my space. This is common etiquette Iâd love if everyone could follow. If you choose not to abide by these boundaries, itâs up to me whether or not I answer your question(s) or simply block you from the space. I would hate to do that to anyone, so please letâs all keep this a healthy and fun space for all involved.Â
1. Donât send me your thoughts on the show or your analyses. This is not the space for those kinds of messages.Â
2. Make sure youâre actually asking a question. Iâm okay with people using this space as a place where they occasionally vent and would like to hear their favourite character say something back, but please donât send me statements of fact or one-liners that donât require any sort of engagement. Also, this is NOT an IM platform, donât send me things like âwhatâs upâ on a regular basis. I wont respond.
3. Do not try and pick fights with Arnav or send aggressive messages. While I understand theyâre not aimed at me and that people have frustrations with the character, theyâre emotionally taxing to respond to and take a lot of labour. Please donât use this space to air your own vendettas against Arnav as a character.Â
4. Donât send asks pretending to be Khushi or Anjali or any other character. I donât engage in roleplay with questions and havenât since I started this blog many years ago.Â
5. Try and be mindful of how many questions youâre sending in a short period. I completely understand that it can be exciting and fun to have a verbal sparring session of sorts, but it does take a lot of time to control the flow of messages and I canât promise that Iâll get to them if it becomes too much for me.Â
6. Be patient. Please donât send me multiple follow up asks to discern whether I received your question. I have a lot to balance with school and work and volunteering, and I will get to it as soon as I am able. If you see that Iâve been actively answering questions and yours hasnât appeared, shoot me an ask asking whether I received it and at that time I will let you know.Â
7. Please donât introduce your own HCs and fic ideas and want me to continue them. For example, I once received a message where someone was congratulating Arnav on Khushiâs pregnancy, something they wanted to see, but I canât be expected to keep up with everyoneâs canon continuations. Write a fic instead, Iâd love to read your take on your idea!Â
These are all I can think of, for now, Iâll update this if I think of more boundaries. Please be conscious of these and try to keep them in mind, that way we can keep a fun and safe space for both myself and all of you. Happy asking :)Â
