How to Appropriately Handle Anonymous Hate Messages:

Navigate to your inbox and click the upper right hand triple-dotted icon associated with the hateful message.

Option A: Utilize the provided block feature (note -- this will not be helpful if the anon is not logged in to a blog).

Option B: Utilize the provided feature to immediately place the message into your digital trash can instead of giving the satisfaction of a reply, regardless of how logical or emotional your response could be. Not only will this improve your mental health by allowing you time/energy for literally any other activity, but you're giving a nasty stranger with a poor sense of boundaries an opportunity to reflect on how they are hurting themselves + others, rather than encouraging them to continue it through attention.

Congratulations; you now know the healthiest way to deal with anonymous hate!

Did I see somewhere that you write for Peter Stone? I'm watching his season for the first time and I love him, but there doesn't seem to be any good fics.

Hello lovely! I have not written for dear Peter, but I am open to the possibility, as I love him dearly. I will be opening up requests on my writing blog @angst-fairygodmother some time this week (after I sort through old prompt lists to find ones I like) so you should watch that space, and send me a request.

In the meantime, I highly recommend @bullet-prooflove. She has a fantastic masterlist of Peter stories, and stories for other Chicago-verse and SVU characters.

OOC: You know- I like to think I'm decently approachable. I like to send random asks and stuff like that if we interact or, if I'm feeling particularly brave, are mutuals. If any of my followers would rather I didn't, please let me know.

I never expect them to be answered- but I do get excited to interact. I follow you lovely lot because I think you're wonderful and want to interact, yanno-?

Because, I'll be honest - - - this really made me feel like total shit and there was really no need to be so...like that. A little private message like hey, I'm not a huge fan of random asks, could be do memes/plot instead? Absolutely. Always.

This-? This makes me feel absolutely terrible, I'm not gonna lie.

Oh okay, we're just platforming hate mail against random tumblr users with absolutely no evidence now. Great. Fuckin prismatic bell gonna wake up to a bunch of harassment today, congratulations mate.

This almost reads like you're prismatic-bell. I wonder.

In any case, there was evidence. I did my own research and its sound. If people don't want me "platforming hate mail" (it is not hate mail by the way) then that's part of why things like sending anonymous little "tips" to people is a bad fucking thing.

I have no other way of responding to anonymous inboxes other than flooding my blog with vague posts and hoping the anon sees it at some point. You cannot reply privately to anonymous messages.

If people truly cared about awareness they'd just DM instead of hiding behind anonymous messages for fear of recourse. If you're convicted enough about your argument and convinced enough about your evidence you should not be hiding behind the anonymous feature to run around a website tattling to everyone who happens to interact with someone, passively or not.

In this instance the Anon was correct; prismatic-bell has posted some rather unfortunate content including the outright threat of obtaining someone's personal information to interfere with their real life.

And frankly if people don't want to expose themselves to receiving hate mail perhaps they shouldn't be threatening to doxx people and shouldn't be telling Palestinians they're imagining their genocide.

I just remembered the way I first read LU was by finding the panels on Pinterest, (reposted, though I didn't know that at the time) reading them and hoping the next one that popped up would be in the correct order lol. I eventually made a Tumblr account and read them in the correct order though.

ARE WE TWINS!?!?

Thats the same way I found LU exactly.

Great minds think alike :]

People who confuse Tumblr with Tinder are something else
