am I being egotistical to think that a guy who used to be into me started talking to me again out of nowhere because his best friends got engaged and he’s a groomsman and wants me to be his plus one

just a friendly and in no way accusatory of anyone on here reminder that you should be really careful and mindful on here of who you engage with on here and how much you trust them! pay attention to red flags! if someone wants things from you like your name or pictures or access to your life and refuses to grant you the same access to theirs, be weary! if someone is explicility soliciting for younger and less experienced people to contact them, be weary! if someone is trying to place themselves in a position of power above you immediately by saying that you need to “impress them” to keep their attention, be weary! if someone is trying to say that you need to have no boundaries and never tell them no in order to be a good partner for them, be weary! if someone looking to have explicit personal access to your life via things like home cameras, be fucking weary about who you’re giving that access to and comprehend how people might be able to profit off of your trust, especially if they were anonymous and you didn’t have any information to report to the police about them if you found out they were abusing your trust!

do love how many of us bill cipher flatland truthers heard "when bill destroyed his home dimension, he killed everyone he'd ever known" and all simultaneously decided "well except kryptos. he knew kryptos. he kept kryptos :)"

moments like this when im really glad im a sad little cynic who always considers the worst possible outcome and never lets herself truly get comfortable and trust the good things in her life to stay there and builds her life around trying to soften the blows of the eventual disappointments just waiting around the corner lol never leaving my edgy teenager era peace and love

EXIST AS UR FULL AUTHENTIC SELF BC IT GIVES OTHER PPL ‘PERMISSION’ TO DO THE SAME

btw the reason why I bring this TSR stuff up is mostly because I think we should all give ourselves some major credit for being onto Jason's bullshit. Whether you got a weird feeling, or looked into it a bit, or just listened to other people who criticised it... kudos. Seriously.

With Colin's involvement, it was more difficult to see it critically, because we all have bias, we all want to support our faves and their projects and see the best in them. So it's hard to see potential issues, it's hard to listen to criticisms without getting defensive, it's hard to question rather than just cheer them on. But you did. It's even harder to speak out against something your fave is involved in, but several people did that too.

So that's why I look at this TSR stuff again occasionally, just to see how it's playing out, because ultimately that's how you know whether you were right or wrong. And in this case? Their timeline keeps shifting because they can't deliver any of the things they promised. Some things have been quietly cancelled. The value of ethereum has gone down, so Jason's promises of the NFTs being a "great investment" or whatever have been proven wrong. Thankfully, almost nobody wasted their money on them.

Give yourself some credit and recognition, guys, seriously. Your gut feeling was right, your criticisms were right, you were right to question and listen, you were right. That's so important. And the fact that we called it out and talked about it and questioned it meant that Jason was not able to take advantage of the fandom like he wanted. I think that's pretty damn awesome.

by virtue of the GM having to play every NPC in contrast to every player having their one, it's fascinating the relationship dynamics this sets up in character throughout the narrative

Had to unfollow and block a mutual bc I read a take from them that was so ASTRONOMICALLY stupid that I legitimately couldn’t take it. Dear Lord WHAT is wrong with white women 😭😭😭

Working with Leviathan be like

Leviathan: *completely both rewrites a severe trauma trigger back into something neutral and freeing, and further reconnects me to the Sky and myself off plane and pre-incarnation in the space of 24 hours* yeah nice, anyway we should play video games now I'm tired

Is it rude of me to want to block someone who likes and/or reblogs almost everything I post? I think the main reason I feel that way is that when they first followed me a few days ago, they spent literally over an hour scrolling through blog, I was getting the notes notifications the whole time. I know they just liked my blog but it just, feels weird. Now every time I'm on and reblog a few things, I always end up with notifications of this person liking or reblogging it. I know they're just being a person but I just feel weird because of it, like someone is watching me because they see everything I post, and kind of want to just block them to make it stop, but am I being an asshole?

Disclaimer: I personally don't mind fave bombs as some of my mutuals do those if I ever go on a spree on any of my accounts. That being said I've also grown WAY accustomed to them over my years of being here on Tumblr.

If you're curious it might be worth dropping them a line just to check in and see what's up (if you're comfortable with that). Sometimes people just like the same content and that might be the case here too. Who knows you might have similar interests

However: if you would feel better putting them in a time out for the time being, no matter how long or short it may be, then that is also 100% okay to do. And you'll never owe that person any explanation either.

Trust your gut. If it makes you feel hinky; get rid of the stinky.

Another thing to do would be to check their Archive and see how long they've been on tumblr.

With that button you can check and see how far back their blog goes and a list of everything they've ever posted. Which can be helpful for parsing bot accounts :)c

What a beautiful, beautiful sight

tbh will never forgive radfems for appropriating 'why don't you think about why you feel that way :)' as 'do it until you're Fixed and don't feel that way anymore'--especially when often they use it for conversion therapy in particular 🙃--because as a genuine, good faith, open-ended question to guide a toolset of other questions, it has brought me not only a lot of insight but SO much peace in processing things my brain would eat itself over otherwise
