Alright. So. I have GOT one hundred and eighty-two followers. I’m sure some of you don’t actually exist any more, but that’s okay. I probably have one hundred and fifty live followers, and some of you have turned up in the last two weeks.

So I’m gonna post some askgames, and it doesn’t friggin matter if our characters have never friggin met or anything at all — FILL MY INBOX. I want to talk to you.

I refuse to throw up in response to something that probably has nothing to do with me at all. I refuse.

I /hate/ it when I get like this. So much.

I feel like I ought to stop following certain people, to both spare myself the temptation and because right now I’m irrationally convinced that they don’t like me, don’t want me around, and wish I would stop talking to them at all.

But what about what I want, which is to continue to enjoy their good writing and roleplay?

It just makes you feel guilty for even interacting with people who are awesome, because you can’t shake the conviction that you aren’t liked, aren’t wanted, but nobody has the guts or the frank honesty to just tell you, claiming they don’t want to stir up drama.

Even worse, you’re too upset, at yourself if no one else, to go ask — and tagging that person is just going to get you yelled at and hate.

One of those moments when you see someone complaining — and you’re convinced it’s about you, even when no names are mentioned.

Phil Coulson had technically been an OC character that had been created for Iron Man. He is now mentioned in the comics, has a large fan base, in the animated series of the Avengers and Spiderman, and now has a TV show.

The lesson here, children, is this:

Respect OC’s. They are just as important as canon characters.
