i usually use the anon function bc im embarrassed to ask people things sjfjfjhs but I've never sent anything horrible to anyone!! I'm sorry you've had negative experiences with the anon function before, you don't deserve that at all!! sending love!

[re: this post]

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate you rn

People like you are literally the only reason why I don’t completely disable the anon feature, because I understand that sometimes people are shy, or they want to express themselves without taking shit. I actually dO get that

But alas, as with everything, there are those who abuse what really should be thought of as a nicety, or privilege—some people just abuse it

Very long rant, incoming

So here’s the thing, right? Sometimes when people are online, they act and behave in ways they wouldn’t dare to irl

I’m not the government. I don’t have a staff to edit my posts. I’m not anybody special. I’m just some dude on the internet who enjoys sharing my opinions and other things. If YOU don’t like or agree with my opinions or something else that I post, you are completely free to keep scrolling or to block me. That’s fine. But when anons begin demanding that I phrase things the way that they’re more comfortable with, then we got serious issues

And another thing: people need to not be so quick to assume malicious intent where none exists

For example, I have accidentally typed the number 500 in a post when I meant to type 50–now, in the specific post, it truly was a significant error. But an anon immediately jumped into the comments and self righteously accused me of lying to make a point, rather than saying to themselves, “Hm, maybe Odin just made a typo”

And my personal favorites

them: YOU’RE SPREADING MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION !!!!

me: um, it was a fucking joke? do they have jokes where you come from?

Or,

me: posts a video of an alligator and some cranes, and adds a bit of whimsical commentary

them: WELL ACTUALLY, THAT IS PROBABLY PREDATORY BEHAVIOR AND I THINK YOU SHO-

me: no. goddamn, I can’t be fucking whimsical on a social media site? eat shit. stfu

And also,

them: well technically, it’s not really fascism

me: maybe not, but it’s fucking close enough. I’m not gonna wait for people to start getting marched into ovens and say, “now can we call it fascism??”

I have literally had all of these dumb, stupid ass conversations (almost verbatim) here on tumblrdotcom, and lemme tell ya, it’s frustrating af

And other times, when I author a post containing a hyperlink on desktop but then later edit it on mobile, sometimes the hyperlink doesn’t carry over to mobile and you’re left with a post that may say “source,” but is not clickable. It happens sometimes, and it’s not a big deal, right?? WRONG! Instead of sending an ask to ask me what happened to the link, I’ve had anons accuse me of “not crediting” a source

I’ve had people use anon to accuse me of cropping videos so that I could somehow “steal” credit from others, and I’m just like … What??? Who does that? Who has the time for all of that? Are you aware that sometimes people on the internet see something like a video or a photo from somewhere else (also uncredited from twitter, reddit, facebook, etc), and then just post it here on tumblr??

And no, I am not talking about reposting someone’s art or other works

Look, if YOU get your thrills from finding out who/where/when the very first instance of every single cat or dog video came from, that’s great! Do you. Knock yourself out. Have fun. But don’t try to shame others because we aren’t all humorless poindexters like you

If I post something from tiktok, the video generally tells you where to go to see it there. If it’s a tweet or from reddit, again, there are usually twitter or reddit handles in the tweet. And NO, I am not putting a link to every single tweet or reddit thread or facebook post — if that’s that important to you, then figure it out. It’s not hard, and in the year 2023 most adults should have the necessary skills to find an original tweet, if that’s something that’s important to you. I’m not doing it for you, not sorry

(SN: I’ll never forget when I took my first college English literature course, and at the end of the semester I was on the bubble for getting an A or an A+ in the class, and our final exam was a written essay that would decide my final grade. I didn’t quite score the A+ that I wanted, and when I looked over my essay, the professor wrote on it: “Odin, you are the quintessential college freshman, and your inquisitiveness has made this semester one of my most enjoyable.” And after class, I walked up to him and thanked him, and asked him what quintessential meant? He opened his mouth and was about to answer me, but then he smiled, wagged his finger at me and said, “you should learn to look things up.” He was one of my favorite professors (had a British accent, eyeglasses and reminded me of Giles from Buffy), but I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Some of you very obviously need to learn it too)

I’ve also made what are very obviously jokes online, only to have people accuse me of misrepresenting facts—and then I’m like, do I really need to explain the concept of what a joke is to you people??

Like, I could see if it was something racist, trans/homophobic, Islamophobic, antisemitic, etc, BUT I DON’T DO THAT

I think that some people need to be seen as, or have a desire to be known as a gatekeeper, and instead of using just a tiny bit of common sense, they try to make mountains out of molehills to elevate themselves in the eyes of their followers

The people who act this way are truly joyless human beings, and they probably suck all the fun out of parties and other events that people are forced to spend time with them

Maybe try socializing a bit more? Learn to read (online) cues. Don’t be so eager to accuse everyone of doing something wrong just so that YOU get to look like the good guy

And all of that’s without even addressing all of the straight up racist anons that I constantly receive

Like, do people even understand that we aren’t inside of each other’s heads? Sometimes we’re all dealing with life and other stuff. And just maybe people are busy trying to have just a tiny bit of fun, and then the mf fun police come along and try to ruin shit? Because I don’t use a word exactly the same way you do?? Or because of an obvious joke?? You guys who do this kind of shit really SUCK

I feel sorry for you

I almost can’t believe this is the piddling little shit that some people choose to be upset over

Please find some REAL things to be upset over

Try learning to use the feature that lets users (gasp) make a post of their very own! instead of fixating on one goddamn mutha fucking post that wasn’t worded to your liking

I am not here for the discourse with anyone with an internet connection and a keyboard

Please go touch some grass

Some people are so sure he called the paps and are hating him for playing them but this isn't his style. He's never been shy about his gfs before regardless what fans think or say. He'll still stand by them, blindly sometimes. He doesn't with ellie. He's never gone offline after a relationship was revealed especially if he did it. His pap pics have never been pulled offline. I don't see what they think he gains from this or why he would change his MO this time

I get why people think he called them. I thought so as well because Sebastian has done it in the past. But things have happened since which prove he probably didn’t.

The biggest one is, of course, the photos going down. We weren’t supposed to see those photos, that’s why they are being taken down. So either two things have happened, A. Sebastian was trying to sell the photos to a site before they got leaked or B. Ellie set this up without his permission and his team tried to prevent fans from seeing.

My problems with theory A. is I have a source which claims Just Jared refused the photos. If Just Jared truly did refuse the photos like my source says then it kind of disproves theory A. But even if my source is lying to me, I do not believe he would do this drama right before work. I mean Sebastian opened up Monday with a huge Instagram shitstorm over Netania, I don’t think he wants to open up another project with another shitstorm. He’s sensitive and he’s clearly staying offline right now because he doesn’t want to get stressed out. So why would he stage a pap walk right now? He clearly doesn’t need the added stress.

On top of that these other little things are there, using Splash and a photographer he’s never used before, Ellie remaining in NYC (when she could go to LA, I mean if they are this official why isn’t she in LA being introduced to his family there, like Margo did?), Sebastian not following her, Sebastian not posting anything for Destroyer despite the fact that it’s his most successful movie this year and that he got a coveted place in the credits. None of these things make a lot of sense with the theory he set this up.

When you look at Ellie and her overall behavior it seems far more likely to me that this was her. She’s been trying to lowkey let it out for months now that she’s his girlfriend. She hasn’t been subtle about it, her friends have been leaking things and acting shady since June. She also set up two new photos on Instagram before this, so fans could have new pictures to comment on. I personally think Ellie knew this would be her only time to “prove” she was with Sebastian until he comes home in December. So she took a major risk and got a pap, she wanted once and for all for the cat to be out of the bag. Hopefully, Sebastian now realizes that he and Ellie aren’t on the same page. He either needs to have a serious discussion with her about her leaks or he needs to break up with her. Not being on the same page in a relationship isn’t a good idea.

And you guys can claim Margo, but personally, I think he and Margo were on the same page a lot of the time. I mean especially in the beginning. I think as time went on Sebastian didn’t like the pap walks as much as she did. We see a more irritated Sebastian later on then in the beginning. I don’t think the situation is that comparable because we’re talking about the first pap walk. Sebastian needs to be on board for the first pap walk because that’s an introduction.
