note on sending asks

i welcome most things in my ask box, but please be advised that i hold the prerogative to ignore/decline to answer your ask if it makes me feel uncomfortable. if you're coming to my ask box to harass/insult me/my work, you better do it with that anonymous button turned off. if you have the gall to say those things to me, you should also be brave enough to let other people know who you are and that you speak that way to strangers online.

FAQ

Do you really like Stavrogin even after knowing what he did to Matryosha?

the only reason why i "like" him is because he's portrayed by Maxim Matveev. you won't see me talking about any other Stavrogin of the other adaptations of the book, because i only like Matveev's version, and because it's MATVEEV. i like Matveev. he's just objectively hot in my eyes. Stavrogin, the character, can go burn in hell for all i care. i think he's interesting and fun to analyze and write, but that doesn't necessarily mean that i condone the things he did. he still disgusts me. i want him to suffer.

Why do you not write for XYZ ship?

if i don't write about it = i'm not into it that much. that's it.

Sometimes I really want to take everyone under the age of 24 (as of 2026) by the shoulders and say:

"I'm really sorry that lockdown and the ongoing pandemic interrupted pivotal educational and social/emotional development moments for you. You have an uphill battle towards adjusting to a lot of community based efforts because you experienced a mass trauma during an incredibly important time in your life where you should have physically been around your peers learning to engage in shared community. There is no "but" here, I'm genuinely really sorry. Something many of us consider key points in our interpersonal growth as youths was taken from you, not without reason but without care for its impact on you. I hope you know we are eternally allies in our struggles and if that is something you struggle to know I hope you can learn it someday."

Because so many of the angriest, most disenfranchised people I see on this website are under 24 and I often try to put younger people's behavior in the context of where they might have been 2020. I've seen the impact on my siblings and their peers+friends first hand, all ages 18-24. We've talked about how its impacted them, the isolation, the attachment to the internet, the anxieties and phobias and fears it developed in them due to the pandemic, the political unrest, and the responses to both that we've seen since. I know they're not the only ones and I know how much being marginalized also influences that impact too.

It's terrifying. I know it must be terrifying for a lot of the young people on Tumblr too. I hope one day we're able to bridge all of those complex feelings into something collective and positive so we can do our best to prevent similar traumas from happening to future generations.
