Last sprinkle of salt on my dash tonight under the Read More! I promise!
✂ A fandom that you feel isn’t open and accepting?
The Anne Rice fandom is a nightmare. They are–by far–the worst towards one another. From hate anons to death threats to encouraging people to kill themselves. I saw it all when I was there and that’s why I left.
I met some really good friends in my adventures. Ones that are now IRL friends or IRL internet buddies. But for the most part? Wow–the meanness far exceeds any enjoyment I found with the people I love there. We can just do things on the side, imo. Much better than being a part of that fandom.
More salty salt under the Read More. Daaang we a salty bunch today!
❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?
I try not to hold FCs over a character because that’s sort of negating a potential partner for something you can ignore if the writing is amazing–imagination is great like that! I came close, though. I adore Cillian Murphy to the point that I modeled a character after him in one of my books. Someone who is very vicious and awful to people in an unmentioned community popped up using him a couple years ago and that one kinda killed my buzz a bit. But I love the actor so much that I wouldn’t turn anyone away who plays someone with that FC.
✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?
I know this is kind of hypocritical since I’m doing a salty meme but it seems like a lot of people have joined who are a whole lot more bitter and rude since I first came around? So many people are quick to explode on someone. Or call them abusive or toxic whenever it’s just an opposing opinion or someone they don’t like. Those are strong words to toss around and shouldn’t be used just to throw a tantrum and try to turn people against someone you dislike. Other than that? I kinda keep to my own little world and try to surround myself with positivity so I keep enjoying this place. If I can’t ignore what someone is doing, I unfollow. Simple as that.
♒ Thoughts on the fandom you’re currently rping in?
I stick more to indie because–I know I see some people have awful experiences and maybe I’m just oblivious–the people I’ve met in the indie Glee community have been nothing but warm, welcoming and I’ve made some amazing friends here. By far the best group of indie players I’ve ever met. With the exception of maybe three people I’ve encountered out of many. As far as people in the Gleerpc? I’ve noticed a great divide between the types of people I have encountered there. I haven’t had much experience with them but I’ve seen either really great writers who become close to me or people I’d rather not be involved with. At all. There seems to be no inbetween.
Just like the meme says. Much salt under the Read More!
☯ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation?
Many times. I’ve been the mediator for most fights around me both offline and online. Or an ear to listen/shoulder to lean on to a lot of people who need it. I try to keep a calm perspective about most things–like everyone I have my limits–but it tends to let people know I’m here for them if they need someone to give advice. Whether for themselves or to diffuse a situation.
☼ How long do you stay mad?
I usually get over being mad pretty quick. Less than a day. Sometimes even less than a few hours. There are times where I reach my boiling point though. I’m usually pushed there by people being outright disrespectful to me or people I care about. Or just disrespectful in general. Those people are usually just dropped from my radar because life’s too short for that.
☀ What’s your rp pet peeve?
I don’t have many. I think the biggest I have is if you are giving your all to a thread and someone writes something–not even talking length here just emotion–so blank and empty that you question if they’re into it and wonder what you’re supposed to do. If you are lacking feeling or excitement in a thread, you need to talk to your partner and see what you can do to spice things up. Or start something new. You should respect the other person’s efforts enough to try to work things out rather than post something that has them wondering if you even read their entry or were just going through the motions to get something out of your queue.
