Stolen Blanket Box
May. 2nd, 2025 09:00 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
elyusionNo art today; after class yesterday I slept all day. Many such cases. So instead I'm filling out this blanket box from osteophage on Pillowfort. I don't really have much interest in using Pillowfort to blog when I already have DW and 3 microblogs, but I still like the concept of blanket boxes. We will be stealing 💯 I'll probably copy and paste all this information to my sticky too.
My preferences/disclaimers on...
Interaction in general
Go on ahead. I don't share my stuff just to take up storage space in the DW servers! I want reactions.
Sending me private messages
Go ahead, if you so wish. Mutual subs can suggest we move to Discord or something, if that's more convenient.
Subscribing to my journal if you're a minor
Mixed feelings. I don't want to get in trouble or be accused of anything, but I understand that cross-age relationships can be good and necessary. That said, I'm not exactly a good role model... Well, I'll allow minors to sub for now. Dreamwidth doesn't let them see posts with adult content warnings, so it should be fine?
Making posts which link to mine, or quoting my posts
Ask first, please. 99.9% chance I'll say go ahead, but if possible I'd like to know where my posts are going, you know?
Commenting on my posts, in general
Very awesome. I'll try to reply to everything, but sometimes I'm all out of words. That doesn't mean I dislike you and that you should hold back next time you have something to say. I'm an awkward person too.
Commenting on my old posts
Also awesome. If anything, even more awesome than commenting on fresh posts. It shows interest in my stuff! Really nice. Plus, just because a post is old doesn't mean I'm not still thinking about the topic. Hell, I might have new ideas or views to share on it.
Commenting on my vent posts
I avoid making these in the first place. Nobody signed up to be my therapist or caretaker. BUT. Let's say, hypothetically, I make a post that sounds uncharacteristically angry at everyone. I would prefer you be nice to me rather than get combative; it makes me feel sorry instantly and cools my head.
Unanswered comments
Okay, I'm guilty. When people don't reply to my comments I feel bad. That's why I try to reply to everyone at least once (like, if you comment I'll reply, but if you reply to my reply I might leave you on read), in case they're like me. Don't feel bad about not replying to me though. My emotions are my problem that I need to deal with, not you.
Stepping in on disagreements
Like, if you see someone disagreeing with me and feel the need to defend my viewpoint/me? Hmmmm... If it's a viewpoint, go ahead (hey, it's your opinion too!), but if it's a personal attack, I'd feel bad making others defend me like that. And when it comes to viewpoints and opinions, feel free to defend what you think we agree on, but consider the possibility of me disagreeing with you too. It happens. You may have misunderstood me, or we have the same conclusion but I don't like how you reached it xD
Requesting certain things be tagged
There's probably some kind of extension-thingy for DW so you don't have to ask this of people, but yea, I'll do this. Just PM me. One caveat: if it's a common trigger, I'll put a content warning for you. If it's something really specific... Look, I get it, I have those too. But the optics... I can't think of a way to work this one out yet. I don't want to put anyone on blast by putting a "[NAME] don't look" warning... Maybe some sort of acronym would do... NDL (Name Don't Look)... I dunno.
Don't worry about having to put warnings on your posts for me though ⭐
Rules about...
Reposting and crediting my original work (if applicable)
Please don't reupload my work, unless you're using it as an icon/banner/background/etc. or I gave you explicit permission to do so :( If you want to share something of mine, please link to it instead. And if you're using something as an icon or etc., credit me (my website, preferably) in a clear and obvious place.
Typical reasons for...
Subscribing (or for not subscribing back)
I'm really picky about who I sub to first. I subscribe to people who
Note that many of my interests are old as balls or just plain unpopular. And when I say "interests," it can't be something broad like "joseimuke" or "video games," it has to be the exact joseimuke or video games that I like.
The things I don't care much for are a lot of things that are popular, a big example being gacha games, which I think are evil. (There's like, ~3 exemptions, but let's not get into that right now. Just know that no Hoyoverse games are exempted.) I don't care about VTubers, I don't care about most live action or games that look realistic, etc etc.
And some of you may have noticed that last bullet point is entirely vibes based, and if I'm a certain kind of person that means I won't sub to anyone first.
So in practice, I'm rarely the first person to sub. LMAO.
As for subscribing BACK...
One, please refer to this entry. My tone back then was really harsh, though. I think it's awesome when people sub to me! But when they don't say anything before or after subbing, it's like, well I guess they want to read my stuff but don't want to form any type of connection with me, which is fine! It's fine. But unless they post about the things I like (rare), I'm not following back. Now if they speak to me, they're no longer some stranger but an acquaintance, and the bar for who I will subscribe to drops a little. I will accept rarely posting about the things I like as long as they don't post often about things I dislike. I hope this makes sense?
Also, so that I'm not a hypocrite, I tend to put off subbing to people first until they make a post that gives me something to say and reply with. Announcing myself before I come in, so to speak.
Unsubscribing
Reasons why I would unsub include 1. You no longer talk about things I care about and we're not close enough for me to want to keep you around anyways, or 2. You expressed an opinion so awful I had to pack my bags. You can PM me and ask why I unsubbed if it bothers you not knowing.
Unsub to me whenever you're over what I'm yapping about, that's fine. It's important to protect your peace. If we've talked a lot I might feel sad, but worry about yourself first.
Using the ban feature
Do you have any idea how mad I'd have to be at you to ban you from interacting with me? 😭 I can't envision this happening unless something really wild happens.
If you were to ban me, I'd be like ??????????????????????????????????????????? but hey, protect your peace.

Subscribing (or for not subscribing back)
I'm really picky about who I sub to first. I subscribe to people who
- Make posts about things I like and care about,
- Don't make a lot of posts about things I don't care about, and
- I think won't be like "um, ew, who is this freak" when they see who just subbed to them.
Note that many of my interests are old as balls or just plain unpopular. And when I say "interests," it can't be something broad like "joseimuke" or "video games," it has to be the exact joseimuke or video games that I like.

Date: 2025-05-02 04:14 pm (UTC)HEYYYY A BLANKET BOX!! As someone who's on Pillowfort and thinks they're fun (I like the themed ones for fandoms and general interests, too), it's so neat seeing someone do one on Dreamwidth!
