Interaction Rules
Oh, so you do want to chat, how lovely! I always enjoy when customers want to converse. We can talk as much and as long as you'd like, if you just follow a few, easy rules.
The basis for conversation in my café is simple:
Be polite, respectful and kind at all times.
If you keep that in mind, you can always strike a conversation through comments, reblogs or public asks with me! Please refrain from dm-ing me though if we did not make each other's acquaintance yet, except in the following cases:
we are mutuals
you want to thank me for a request you send in as anon but don't wish to reveal yourself to everyone
you feel there's any kind of sensitive matter you'd rather settle with me in private
Besides that, there are some topics which I wish to avoid in this café due to personal reasons:
any discussions about politics or religious arguments (I might reblog posts about such matters, but I prefer to keep it at this passive level of discourse)
animal cruelty and animal death
eating disorders
alcoholism and heavy drug consumption
suicidal thoughts/suicide
Important Note: If we are (close) friends, you may still talk to me about such topics if you ask for my consent in beforehand.

Even though I doubt any people with ill intentions will bother to read my interaction rules before contacting me, I feel like I should mention in which cases I would advise you not to interact at all:
If you are...
12 years old or younger (I am not saying this to be condescending about your age or patronize you in any way. You may follow me if you like, too. But please respect this wish of mine - the topics I discuss and my point of view on Bungou Stray Dogs is nothing I want to share with children, it feels inappropriate.)
sexist
homophobe
racist
support incest or rape
...then please refrain from contacting me.
Alas, I also want to mention that it is not worth sending any kind of hateful message, as it will be either ignored or instantly deleted. So don't bother <3☺.
And last, but not least: If we are not acquainted, then please don't just dump your problems on me out of the blue. I am always willing to let people talk about their struggles and give consolation or advise, but I am no therapist or trash can. I understand your suffering and your desperate need to not be alone with your struggles, but nor am I acquainted with you and your situation in general, nor am I equipped to help with serious problems and such behaviour would only lead to both of us suffering in the end.
Keep fighting, dear 💙.
