friendly reminder to be kind to each other—not performatively, actually kind to each other, yes even to those we're not as close to—. friendly reminder to be able to talk about things we enjoy and prefer and believe in without feeling the need to put others down for their own preferences and beliefs and interpretations. friendly reminder to have the courage to soft / hardblock & quietly move on when we see see a portrayal we really didn't like and calmly try to find other options to write with—or to focus on our own unique writing instead if the portrayal we didn't agree with was from a dupe. friendly reminder that we're all just "playing barbies" here but no one actually owns the barbie they're playing with ( except the gorjus ocs ofc ), & all barbies should be valid and beautiful in their own way, and no one should be made to feel bad about themselves for preferring to play with it in a certain way if it makes them happy & doesn't actually hurt anybody <3
