Ok I wanted to say something but of course this person's ask was closed, but it's upsetting me so I'm saying it here

auntjj, you can have your opinion but please stop tagging your hate. You are posting hate about Misha Collins and you're literally tagging it 'misha collins' where his fans will see it, and there's even a tiny chance he could see it himself, I'm pretty sure he sometimes looks at his tumblr tag.

Misha fans do not want to see that. Misha himself would be pretty upset if he was to see it. DON'T TAG YOUR MISHA HATE WITH 'MISHA COLLINS'. IT'S JUST PLAIN RUDE.

That's all I'm asking. You can post whatever the hell you want but please be considerate. 

[ffamranxii]

Why? Just why?

I hate people. I really do. 

Why are you so rude to someone you don't know, who's responding to something you asked them for? If I call you about your resume, because I'd looked at it and thought you should come in for an interview, because you'd posted on Careerbuilder or submitted to us - why are you a total bitch to someone who is trying to give you exactly what you'd asked for? You hear the company, you have no idea what it is we do, and you snap, "I'm not interested." Or, like this one chick I had - her resume was posted yesterday. She answered the phone, pretended she wasn't actually her, and snapped that she'd found a job. I hit redial instead of the new call button, and she picks up on the first ring and goes "I TOLD YOU SHE ALREADY FOUND A JOB."

Like. What do you get out of being mean to other people? Does someone pay you to be a bitch? Is that it? Because I'd love to have that job, where I get to say whatever the fuck comes into my head and make another person, who is just trying to do their job - the job that puts food on the table and keeps a roof over their head - feel like total shit. I'd love to do that. I'd love to be paid to be able to call you back and tell you that you're a complete fucking bitch, your resume says you've been unemployed for two months, and you posted it yesterday afternoon. So you found a job within the two hours of the workday that people are still interviewing? Okay. And even if you had - what the FUCK gives you the fucking right to speak to me like that? Who the fuck are you? What the fuck crawled up your ass and died? You asked for a job - I was going to give you one, and you're a complete fucking twat to me. Fuck you. 

If you want to know  a person's character, take note of how they treat complete strangers.

Tomorrow, I'll be on the Long Road Home.

Being so English I fuckingbleedDarjeeling, I only spend part of my time in the city: tomorrow, I'm returning to my countryside abode- in actual fact my mother's small, rented semi-detached in one of the nation's tiniest villages. As I type this, I've only just got in from reading poetry at a café meet-up in one of London's less objectionable areas, and in truth it went really rather well (which probably explains why so far I've only used the 'fucking' once- or twice if you count just then). Despite that, getting out of the capital for the weekend will be a relief. The people I have to deal with in this city are beginning to piss me off now. Today, for example, I was trying to board a train from such-and-such a locale to another (the details aren't relevant), and was dressed in full dandy regalia:silk-shirt, top-hat, patterned long-coat- the works. And I'm pretty sure I got tutted at. Not even by some old biddy too set in her ways to realise how rude that is. No, this was a young bloke of around my own age. To people like him, I'd like to say this:JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT DRESSED IN THE FUCKING DARK THIS MORNING, DOESN'T MEAN THE REST OF US HAVE TO SETTLE FOR BUNGING ON A HOODY AND JEANS.People like that really grip my shit. It's not that I think being well-dressed is in any way something people should all pursue- if you're content to mooch about in tracksuit bottoms and a vaguely ironic T-shirt, good for you: you've probably got better things to worry about. But I actually like to look different, and nobody has thefuckingright to think that because they look normal that makes them superior to people who don't. Normality does not equal superiority- with clothing, it doesn't matter one way or the other, but thinking normally (as typified by knee-jerk hostility to anybody who looks different to you) is not only not superior but actively pathetic, cowardly and demonstrative of a total lack of imagination.

Anyways, to cap it all, this guy (let's call him Baron Von Cuntfeatures), then also elbows past me on the train. In retrospect, I should have punched him. It might have landed me a night in the cells, but if I'd broken his nose then he'd have been uglier, which would have limited his chances of reproducing, which would have been doing the gene-pool a favour, and I could have gone to sleep that night knowing I'd done my good deed for the day.

This kind of behavior also fucks up the way I go about things. Because Baron Von Cuntfeatures had shoved passed me and was now in a position that prevented me from moving with my usual speed and efficiency towards a seat on the crowded train, I had to make a beeline for a different part of the carriage, which involved cutting across some other poor bugger, thus making their day slightly worse. The bastard had created a domino effect of crudiness.

Anyway, that kind of self-centred attitude strikes me as just bloody typical of most of London life. Not everyone in the city is actively rude, but they just don't think. People in London won't make life easier for you any way unless they absolutely have to. Just walking down the street, nobody even tries to steer to avoid you. It doesn't even occur to them that they should. How all these self-absorbed fuckers don't just walk into each-other I don't know. The only way I've found of making Londoners treat me with any degree of respect is to be even ruder and less thoughtful than they are- i.e., by walking with my head down in a straight line towards wherever I'm going without even looking at who or what might be blocking my way, and goodness help anyone stupid enough not to stand the fuck aside. Obviously, this is a shit state of affairs. It means that everyone, regardless of how nice they are really, is trying to out-shittiness one another just so they don't get pushed about.

Basically, I get to go home every weekend and recharge from the perpetual crapstorm that is London, but some people have to live waist-deep in it. Spare a thought for them: if you live in London (or New York, or Constantinople or any other major city for that matter), try using a bit of basic human decency while out and about in the city. If someone's plainly in a hurry, get the fuck out of their way; if you see someone trying to negotiate a heavy public door with even heavier shopping bags, hold the bloody thing open for them; if you're walking with your friends several-abreast down a path and someone's coming towards you, move into single- or double-file for a few seconds so they can get passed without stepping off the path into the dangerous fucking road; and if you're on a train, try hard to actually use your elbows to get a seat- I know it's every man for himself, and I'm not asking for total politeness, just that you don't turn it into a fucking contact sport.  Oh, and most importantly: try to remember that I shouldn't have to tell you all this. It's just the principle of basic politeness, and nobody should need telling to stick to it.

a few tips for fandom

So I'm not naming names here, mainly because I've seen this so often that getting into specifics would be petty and pointless. But I keep seeing this again and again in so many fandoms and guise, I feel like we need to talk about it.

I've known of very, very few attractive male leads that get twitter/make themselves generally accessible to the internet and I don't blame them. I'm not doing the whole, oh, wanting to fuck hot boyz is so BANAL and IMMATURE thing because hello, this is a perv blog and I think if you're respectful and not up in people's faces, you can be as pervy as all fucking get out. So no fangirl-shaming for the sake of it here.

That said, the people who I have typically seen on twitter/making themselves accessible to fandom are supporting players and a good lot of them are female. A lot of them are really lovely people and really good about responding to fan messages and you know what? They don't have to do that. They don't owe us, as fans, anything at all. I'm not saying we should bend over backward in gratefulness that the beautiful people speak to us lowlies at all, but it's not something anyone has to do and I think it deserves some basic politeness in return.

Do you know how rude it is to act like an actress is nothing but a conduit to her male costars? Maybe as an artist myself, I'm particularly sensitive to this kind of thing, but whoever in a given cast you consider sexually attractive, they are all basically doing the same creative work. And even if it's not intended that way, and I'm sure a lot of the time it's not, undercutting that by acting like they're a conduit to your crush is just that--undercutting their work. I'm sure I'll get reblogs asking how DARE I turn this into a feminist issue and you know what? It isn't, entirely. On some level, it's about basic politeness. I know I said I wouldn't go into specifics but a couple months ago, I remember Sinead Keenan (and Russell Tovey as well) was inundated with messages asking her for Aidan Turner's contact info--come off it, guise. She does not have to be on twitter. That is not what she is here for.

Beyond the hot-boy stuff, I just see a lot of unnecessary rudeness--basically, acting like these people are there to cater to fans in a way that I doubt they would do for the more major lead players. Can we not send stupid petty messages? Because I am starting to think half the things I see popping up on these actors' twitter feeds are just excuses for basic pettiness and may I repeat, they do not owe us anything. Making yourself accessible on the internet is not something they have to do and while I'm not saying anyone needs to kiss anyone's feet (we're all human beings, not gods and mortals!) unless you really want to, the least we can all do is be polite and gracious. So far as I've seen, all these people have been polite and gracious to fans. Can we return the favor by not undercutting their work or acting like they're somehow there to serve us?

Because, seriously, they're not.
