Donnie swimming with a pod of orcas, it’s a lot better studying them in the wild. I’m so glad that I got this out of my head. I love it
"WHO are you?"
"Where did you come from?"
"That's a nice outfit."
"I love your bag, where did you get it?"
"I feel as though I'm not prepared for this."
"Oh my gosh! I know who you are!"
"I love seeing new places and meeting new people."
"Can you NOT stare?"
"Do you have the time?"
"Are you talking to me?"
"Do I know you?"
"Can you help me out?"
"What did you say?"
"Excuse me."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"What is going on, here?"
"Are you an angel?"
"Have we met before?"
"Who am I? Are you sure you want to know?"
"Have you seen anything so beautiful?"
"Lookin' for somethin'?"
"I'm not buying whatever you're selling."
"Freeze!"
"What is with the weather?"
"Moon sure is bright tonight."
"What'll you have?"
"I didn't ask for you."
"Thanks... ah... I didn't catch your name."
Hey followers. I’ve seen a couple of call-out posts on my dash over the past couple of weeks, highlighting the alleged bad behavior of certain roleplayers. Whether these posts contain truth or not, I just want to share this with everyone:
Yes, it’ll hurt their feelings. They might get upset. But your safety is more important. Don’t write/do/participate in anything you’re not comfortable with. If you’re terrified or anxious of confrontation, just block them and let it be done!
Your concerns are vallid. Your fears are valid. This person might be triggering you and sure, they might not have the context! If you feel comfortable with explaining it to them do it. If you don’t, or if you do and they don’t seem to care or understand, block them. Say no. Cut out what you can in life that makes you upset or anxious, because you will have a lot to deal with offline already.
Please be safe. Please use the block button. Please turn off anon if you keep getting garbage anonymous messages. Please say no.
If you don’t know how to “soft block” people –
Block someone, then unblock them immediately. This will make them unfollow you unknowingly and simultaneously have you unfollow them, too.
If you need to block certain words/phrases/usernames from your dash – use the extension tumblr savior .
And the most powerful tool of all – If you’re scared, upset, triggered, feel guilted or uncomfortable –
It doesn’t have to be forever and you don’t have to delete your blog. It doesn’t have to be for very long at all – you don’t have to announce it!
But Tumblr should not affect you once you sign out. It is a website. You have higher priorities. You are a living, breathing, beautiful human being who deserves to be treated with respect and cherished. It’s so easy to see people as simply text on a screen when you’re online, even subconsciously; that anonyminity can encourage people to be mean, to take out their problems on others.
Don’t be that person and don’t be the victim of that person. You deserve better. You deserve to enjoy Tumblr as a hobby and a place you visit online. Do not feel bad about saying no or using the block button – that’s what it was created for!
Take care of yourself and your friends. You’re going to be okay.
