If you thought you were going to drive me away from tumblr, or force me to stop roleplaying, well, you failed. You will always fail.

These are why: lycanthropelahey, fastestquickestmutant, pxraclox, dalphahale, ripyourthroatoutwithmyteeth, gadgeteerphilanthropist, shoutingfinetotheskies, iamvictor-roth, archangelswag, veneficusrex, heir-to-betrayaldrunkknightofcamelot, letyoursoul, thenameislahey, clairexnovak, aknightsopure, tinmantonystark, ihatefreezers I’m pretty sure I’m missing people.

You will always fail. So don’t waste your effort.

But I just know from experience what it’s like to have people cut you off without giving you a reason OR when people give you the reason when it’s to late. For example, a mun will silently be frustrated about something but never bring it up and eventually because they never communicated their anger will have built up. They’ll send you the reason BUT then block you right after, allowing themselves the last word and not giving you any chance to say anything that’s why I get why you call people out

I just know from experience there are always two sides. Yes, of course it’s okay to block and ignore people. But when you do it without even bothering to give them a reason or communicate and use the excuse – only my feelings matter and I have to do only what’s best for me – it causes a lot of hurt and drama. Many muns actually use passive aggressive posts and the silent treatment as a way to get people to take the hint about what is wrong so they can put the full blame on you.

I’m just amazingly tired of tumblr people treating online rp as though it’s some kind of solitary pastime. As though it’s somehow different from inviting people to hang out with you in real life, and standing them up or cutting them off or outright ignoring them after they’ve shown up.

Gah, I promised myself I wouldn’t engage with this frustration tonight.

Sorry, nonnie, it’s not you.

Also I’ve noticed a huge trend in the RP community with a focus on only yourself and no one else. The trend is it’s okay to ignore people without telling them why, it’s okay to ignore people who ask if they want to roleplay instead of politely turning them down… it’s okay to not think of the other human being on the other side of the computer because only you matter. The result is actually a lot more ooc drama because people aren’t giving communication a chance because it’s the best for them.

… it’s like you’re reading my mind. Were you hiding in my kitchen this afternoon?

I just wanted to say I actually understand where you’re coming from. I’ve had experiences where people suddenly started ignoring me without telling me why. A lot of people have had this happen to them actually. Sometimes there is a good reason but in many cases misunderstandings happen when people don’t communicate to each other or make assumptions that the other person should know what is wrong. I think communication should be attempted before cutting someone off.

You are an unusual anon. I’m keeping you.

Honestly, you need to get the fuck over yourself and get over the fact that people will like you one day and then lose interest. It’s a fucking /website/. People come and go and they don’t have to provide you with excuses or reasons why. Stop “calling people out” for unfollowing you as if they’ve done a crime. People unfollow each other every day. It’s just a thing that happens. You’re being incredibly childish by throwing tantrums and publicly posting private messages.

I don’t understand how you expect to be treated like everyone else when you public post problems instead of addressing them privately as an adult would. If trust or people ‘talking bad about you’ is the issue than screenshot, but posting publicly is childish and off putting, because people would rather solve their problems in private not have the world to see. Everyone can be a little selflish, but you need to realize that everyone is here for fun and not to just please you.

I’m open to suggestions as to how I can resolve problems privately with people who never respond to me.

I’m also open to suggestions as to how what I do is any different or worse than this burnbook.

burnbookisms:

PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU CHOOSE TO RP WITH IAMTHEFIRECHILD. I am not saying do not RP with her, I am not saying do not follow her, I am simply saying be careful if you choose to because she is KNOWN to cause issues with multiple people and has caused several users to delete and/or archive their blogs and some even leave tumblr permanently. She is known to use her mental illness as an excuse for guilting their partners and causing them problems (she literally has an entire tag dedicated to this as though it is something to be proud of). I’ve compiled a lot of links of the things that she’s said and done to people unnecessarily and how they’ve caused other’s harm. She prides herself on “calling other RPers out” but what she’s actually doing is throwing a fit when they don’t get their way. She constantly causes drama and harasses other users under the pretense that they have somehow wronged her when really they haven’t done much of anything. It’s so bad that I know with utmost certainty that several users have deleted or archived their blogs and some have even left tumblr permanently. She acts very nice at first but the second something goes wrong it’s all downhill from there. She messages people with extremely rude things on and off anon despite claiming in her rules that she doesn’t send hate. Several users have compiled evidence of this but she has even CLAIMED THE EVIDENCE AS TRUTH AND USED IT AS EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE WRONGED HER. I think she may be delusional and I do not say this lightly or to demean her, I mean I legitimately believe that she is experiencing a delusion, she thinks that things that are obviously detrimental to her image are evidence towards people harming her, which makes so little sense. She also has a tendency to make light of and undermine issues by blurring the lines of IC and OOC, I know her character is partially a self insert, but she will take OOC issues and inject them into IC situations and does so in a way that undermines the severity of an issue OOC. I don’t know about others but that blurred line makes me extremely uncomfortable personally and I know others have expressed ill feelings towards that concept as well. Anyway, here are the links to things that you might want to see before you decide to RP with her:

[her rules]

[incidents with her guilting others over blocking/unfollowing her [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]]

[blurring the lines between ic and ooc and “calling someone out” for it]

[more guilting (over replies among other things) [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]]

[tag dedicated to “calling others out” just look through it, it is mostly her picking fights with others and being extremely rude, the tag title is even “shit happens you die”]

[using her illness as an excuse as well as calling people out tag]

[extremely rude messages asking people to “unfollow her” [1] [2]]

[making someone feel worse when they’re already in a low state [part 2 (friend’s response to her actions)]]

There is a lot more evidence I could link you to, but those are some of the ones that stick out the most and that are most present on her blog. Please be careful those of you that want to roleplay or follow her! These are some things to keep in mind. Her actions have not ceased no matter what she says, she has not changed, she is doing this constantly and consistently and I would hate to see more people get hurt over her actions.

Thank you for you time, I hope this is okay for me to submit.
