Saw you answering birthday posts, so wanted to stop by & say happy birthday! Your blog is one I’ve been following since I started tumblr a number of years ago. I still love it so much :) Hope you have a lovely day!

I’M CRY. Thank you dear!

Thank you for your loyalty, if you’ve been following me this long then you know when I’m recycling old answers/pics at this point :O  … I aim to keep content as fresh as possible, and drag up the old stuff only if it’s a reeeeally good fit *u*

You have indeed been following me for almost 2 yrs! I love seeing familiar names in my Activity feed, and I ALSO have all the “X is now following you” messages (bc I am a little bit of a borderline hoarder)(in a good way), so here’s yours, from 5/31/14, the day you hit that Follow button and jumped into our trashpile improved your dash:

OH MY DIOR!!! It was your birthday and I forgot to come ant told you that… YOU ARE SO F@$#&% AWESOME! Dear VC dealer. Hope you had an excellent day. I send you greetings and hugs from this place on the earth. 🎊🎉🎂😘

“Oh my Dior”? Like the fashion company? LOL that is so Lestatuesque, to say that instead of “OMG”. Thank u so much my dear! You are one of my Official Facebook Agents, keeping your eye out for any VC droplets to send me which I appreciate bc YES I AM ADDICTED TO THIS MESS and I’m so so glad that I can acquire it and deal it back out to my other fanged little trash kitten addicts ^,….,^

*Technically you’re not late, bc when a birthday falls on a weekday, you are entitled to celebrate it on the weekend before AND after, that’s just the rules ;D

Joining the rest of the masses of your adoring fans to wish you a Happy Birthday.

Merci David-mun! *u*

It’s the *~quality~* of the masses of my adoring fans that is so heartwarming and sweet and just… what is a curator of a museum w/o makers & appreciators of fine art? What is an actor w/o an audience? I collect and share, you all enjoy it, it’s a symbiotic relationship ❤

[X] ^I’ve always loved this moment in the movie, bc you can tell she is a quality Parisian lady, she can see beyond the grotesquerie, that there’s beauty in the breakdown.

You wonderful ppl sent me so many wonderful birthday wishes! I am so honored and flattered and pleased and speechless! ^,….,^ Will reply to all of them of course, asap, but can’t do more tonight as I was out later than expected and am falling asleep at the wheel.

For those who don’t want to get spammed w/ my birthday replies I’m tagging them #iwantmyiwtv attack the inbox. Sadly, I can’t tag them until I post them, that’s the way Internet-Explorer-tumblr works, which is UNFORTUNATELY the only browser we’re allowed to have at the office *fumes* but I do tag them right after I post.

Joyeux anniversaire @i-want-my-iwtv! Please keep on being awesome ❤ J’te kiffe de love!

Merci beaucoup! I’m cry ;u;! Nothing says “birthday” like whirling a scythe around and threatening to set the birthday girl on fire, right Louis? hahaha!

Do you ever stop to think about how blessed we are that this fandom is small and old enough to not have been penetrated by the sjw movement?

Leave a comment

For the most part, yes, I am grateful for that blessing EVERY DAY. Seriously. Every SJW™ argument that passes my dash, I breathe easier when I see that it’s not for OUR fandom.

Fiction =/= Reality. Fiction has been used for centuries to explore and investigate things we love about Reality, things we don’t understand, even things we find repulsive about Reality. Fiction is in fact Speculative Reality: “What if X happened to Y? How would that improve our understanding of X and Y?”

To investigate the text thoughtfully is one thing, but our fandom veterans -myself included- can see that a lot of this SJW Culture™ seems more about “calling out,” choosing a Problematic™ topic to battle with (there are tons in our canon to choose from!) and using that as an excuse to attack, rather than the desire for a rational discussion. They often do this in the name of Righteousness (for popularity? Or just their own satisfaction?), but there are so many Problematic™ topics that are NOT simply black or white, topics which have been argued about long before the internet, and will continue to be argued about forever! I’ve seen good blogs deactivate (or go on hiatus) for being dogpiled for the slightest headcanon or SJW disagreements, and that’s not what I want to promote in our fandom, regardless of who’s right.

PSA: If you ever see one of my posts that gets you all fired up like “Ooooh she is so wrong about this and I’m gonna lay the SMACKDOWN now!” just know that I do not, as a general policy, engage in public SJ debate. I might be willing to discuss things privately if you approach me in a respectful manner with facts to back up your claims. I don’t run this blog for Social Justice™ points. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE™ POINTS.

Me when I Like a yummy thread:

this is previous anon and wow, that answer (as anticipated) is really detailed! i’m not super-educated on the points you gave, and i really am sorry for lashing out; parts of the post that incited my anon aggression rubbed me the wrong way, but you definitely managed to clear up a lot of issues i wasnt even aware of and were as always eloquent and honest. i hope i alone didnt change your policy, as that wasn’t my intention at all, i was just bothered by some of the hyperbole i guess. sorry ;_;

THANK GOODNESS you’re back and you’re responding so rationally! See? More info is the cure for jumping to conclusions. I’m glad that I was able to clear up a lot of the issues in my usual eloquent and honest way ;]

You’re forgiven for lashing out. Hyperbole is out there in the world, take this as a learning experience to not let it rile you so easily.

And it took me at least 3 hours to write that reply so it’s even better to know it was worth it.

Next time, message me privately, rather than lash out creepily on Anon. 

Yes, you did change my policy, for the better. This instance was the last straw after a few prior attempts to “call me out” on things. It reminded me that this should be fun for me, I’m not paid to do it, I have no obligation to anyone (aside from the Tumblr guidelines of appropriate use). I try to make sure my facts are correct before stating anything definitive, and I admit when I don’t know smtg.

However, few ppl would come back and admit that they were a little hasty before, so that is much appreciated. Thanks for doing that. It was a huge relief. 

When smtg upsets you, first do some introspection, why are you letting this rile you? Then, calmly, do some investigation and/or ask for info in a respectful way.
