✧ Do you agree with reblog karma or is it forced interaction?
I can understand why people do reblog karma. It can be really disheartening when you post a meme, and people reblog it from you but send nothing in. Now, I understand if people don’t send in IC memes, because it might not make sense or something, but it’s relatively simple to send in an OOC meme like mun questions, or headcanon questions. It can feel really shitty when it seems like you’re just a meme resource for others. I do get that, because I feel like that sometimes, and it sucks.
But at the end of the day, nobody here owes me anything. They don’t owe me thread replies, or meme responses, and they don’t owe it to me to send stuff in either. It’d be nice if they did, but forcing people to do so isn’t really fair on them. However, I do my best to respect those who practise reblog karma if I follow them, otherwise i just reblog the meme from the source, or maybe another blog if the source is no longer available. I mean, in general I try to send stuff in when I can anyway so.. *shrug*
☀ What’s your rp pet peeve?
You sent the symbol twice so… two pet peeves.
First one…I’ve spoken before about my irritation with aesthetic elitism, but in a twist that might be slightly hypocritical… I’m really not a fan of over-formatted posts? And when I say over-formatted, I mean where the writing looks like this && every other word is bolded or italicised or underlined && it just looks like the html editor was abused to within an inch of (it’s life) for no apparent reason.
But part of my reasoning for this is because I personally use bold and italics to place emphasis/stress on words and/or sentences, or to differentiate between thought and speech, and stuff like that. So reading a post that has every other word formatted… in my head it sounds the way it would if you met somebody who kept shouting, and whispering, and emphasising random words in a sentence without any rhyme or reason to it, and it makes the post sound really choppy in my mind and I can’t shake that. So yeah… not a fan of over-formatted posts.
Second one. I really, really, really, hate posts that call out blogs for the subjects they roleplay. I’ve said it before, I think, but unless the person is genuinely a shitty person who is nasty to others, and is actively manipulative or toxic to be around, or who condones/glorifies/romanticises the dark subjects they rp (and you can back this up with evidence) then just leave people the fuck alone?
I mean, this is probably because I have, and will, roleplay some dark shit, but seriously.. If the person has stated they don’t condone what they RP, and they have the appropriate tags and stuff, then let them RP in peace. If you don’t like the stuff on there, just unfollow/block them and move on. Don’t pitch a fit and make nasty posts about them just because you don’t like what they write, and don’t claim they’re horrible and are glorifying X subject when they obviously aren’t. Pisses me off to no end, and tbh, sharing posts like that is a super quick way to make me not like you as much, and possibly unfollow you if we’re not close. I’m against censorship in things like writing, even when it comes to the nasty shit like torture, abuse, rape etc. because put it this way… so long as the tags and warnings and shit are in place, and all parties are agreeable to write it out, it’s literally not hurting anybody. Let people write what they want jfc.
❦ Has someone been jealous of you?
I doubt it. There isn’t much to be jealous of, but I do think there was somebody who wanted to be rid of me. If you’ve read my post about the shitty things that have happened to me, then you’ll know about the whole thing with me being accused of copying somebody’s OC. The person who accused me of this… well, I’m pretty sure they knew about me way before i ever knew about them, because they had saved the floorplan I had made for my character to their computer a long time before this drama happened.
Part of me thinks maybe they wanted me out of the way to RP with the mutual friend we had (the one who turned on me), but idk, that might just be me being paranoid. Beyond that, I don’t think anybody has ever been jealous of me lmao. I’m not really the kind of person people get jealous of because I am a mess™ and who tf would be jealous of this lol
