hey. you. yes, you.
i’m talking to you.
as i understand it, the undertale fandom has been going through a lot of, um…
toxicity issues with hate blogs, antis, and all sorts of tripe at an all-time high
lately, and i’m just as upset about it as anyone else, so i decided that a little bit
of something else might be in order, something a little CHEERIER. a proposition,
if you will.
do you see that blog? yes, that blog over there. the one whose presence just
brightens your day seeing them. you know the one. or the two. or the many of
them. have you ever been too afraid to approach them, just to tell them that they
are someone great and deserve lots of love for their portrayal, their writing, their
art, or hell, just their existence as a person? their sweet personality? their overall
contribution to the fandom and to the roleplaying scene as a whole? well, let me
tell ya something, as someone who’s been on both sides of the fence: spreading
positivity is a wonderful, beautiful thing. please don’t be nervous. we are very
very happy to hear that people enjoy us and what we do. everyone does. go on.
give those blogs some love. even a lil compliment can turn someone’s day around.
spread some smiles.
is someone having a bad day? sometimes, they may need some space, and other
times, they need a nudge, a reminder that they are loved. if they need that reminder,
who says you can’t be the one to give it to them? remind them how precious they
are. it’s not a command, but a suggestion, a suggestion of giving lots of love. i do
believe in karma, that people who give affection will receive it, even if not immediate
in that moment. treat people as you want to be treated.
if you feel unloved, please remember that you are loved. hi, i love you. did you know
that? you’re spectacular and i love ya. someone else surely does, too. and someone
else else. and someone else else else. if you feel sad, like the fandom’s roller coaster
has brought you to believe that what you enjoy, what you do has been trash, think.
just think of the people who do love you. if it’s tough to believe, which trust me, i’ve
been there, you don’t have to think of a mass of people. start with one, one nice guy,
one nice person who said something good to you. maybe then, you’ll remember more,
and it’ll snowball into a larger picture of just how appreciated you are. then, spread
some more love yourself. add to that. be that person someone will think of when they
are sad, and be that change. the chain will continue. people will smile. it all starts with
you.
and this is how it begins with me, with my informing you that things can change, and
that i believe in you, yes, you, and everyone else that they can make a change. i also
want to set aside the time to say this in particular:
