Of Monsters and Men

Sometimes I suspect we are all horrible people. Or at least, we are human people. Same thing. We are impatient, judgmental, irritating and irritated, grumpy, easily offended and the rest of it.

So how to be kinder if it doesn’t come naturally? 

Fake it. 

Fake it a little bit at a time. 

Because there isn’t actually any difference between doing something nice for someone because you are naturally saintly and perfect, and doing something nice for someone because you are secretly demonic and trying to cover it up. It’s still an act of kindness either way, and you still made their lives better.

Smile at people. Say hullo. Ask about their lives. Remember what they’ve told you about their lives. Do small things to try and help them. (They will not know you are horrible, do not worry. They will just perceive that you are helping.)

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Remember that it’s more often stupidity to blame than evil, that everyone can screw up (including you) and what’s important is learning from that.

Think “What would an actually kind person do now?” – and do that. Don’t beat yourself up when you fail. Just be as kind to yourself as you will be to others – even if you have to fake that.

Yeah, big title. But here’s it’s breakdown in 3 parts:

1. It’s a continuous thing that should not happen; someone reaches out, I try and make nice, ask a general question not directed at anyone in particular, and suddenly get blocks/blacklists/anon hate. When did asking questions become so wrong? When did being an individual become a crime? Why do people keep listening to these false accusations levied against me? It’s their OPINION, not holy doctrine! But the more this happens, the more I realize how foolish I am for trusting that people can be good. They can’t. They really, really can’t be good or even halfway decent. And because of this, I’m going to end it all here and now. No, I’m not going to kill myself; I’m instead going to murder the tumblrs of everyone who’se ever done me wrong, and I’ll be tagging them and stating their crimes for everyone to see!

@kat-hawke - for being an lgbt bitch who thinks she’s something better than everybody, but is really one of the worst people to ever exist in the rp scene. @anubelore-delana - for the crime of kindness only to instantly turn and twist to treachery; you played me for a fool and played me like a fiddle, and I’ve felt invalidated ever since. @blackenedhelm - the server’s biggest simp and hypocrite when it comes to women, the mad lad probably doesn’t even have any real spine I bet! Hah! What a joke of a human being… he’s not better than me, he’s if anything, beneath me! @khadorek - the server’s second biggest simp and uber jerk-face. Had he not decided to come after me, I might have left him alone… but he did; so he’s garbage and his rp is garbage. @olliehaldstan - Your intolerant leftist politics bullshit is going to get us all killed, and you’re not only OK with that, you SUPPORT IT! How the hell can you call yourself a human being and support BLM, LGBTQ+ rights, Socalism, Marxism, Leftism, and still se yourself as someone who values equality? The ARROGANCE! THE HUBRIS! @newsnerd-ooc - I honestly had respect for you, once… a long time ago. But that was a different life. We barely interacted and you became the most hateful, vitriolic person I’d encounter in open world Legion content! You were just full of yourself and your shitty rp ideas and ooc ideals; I had wanted to befriend you at one time, genuinely make friends and try to fix the tarnished image I had, but you became more of the problem than aa solution, so fuck you! There are others I’d tag, but They no longer have tumblrs, or I dont know their new ones… but I DO remember what went down: treachery, name calling, “triggering” over questions asked… Going so far as to tell people to blacklist me for years! And all I did was ask a question!!! Heck, some of you even took somethings said IC and crossed it over into OOC stuff! Then there are all those blogs I followed simply because I liked your aesthetics, never even interacted, but then get blocked… get bent! I hate you… I hate you ALL!

2. You people don’t care about me, you don’t want to try to reason with me, understand me, or make peace… you just want to be right and have any excuse to block me! So you know what, I’ll give you reason, if only so that I may FLEX ON YOU LIKE A MAD-LAD!!! I’m going to say exactly what you want me to say; fuck weather or not I truly believe it, because you’re all past the point of caring anyways: Black Lives DON’T Matter! (Any more or less than anyone else’s life) LGBT people DON’T deserve rights (Anymore or less than any other person alive, they just need to shut up about it because nobody cares anymore… you’re just an angry Marxist mob. You’re already given the right to live and freedom to sleep with who you want, what else do you need? Because I don’t give validation) There are only TWO genders/Sexes, science agrees and you’ll never have proof of the contrary OR change my mind. I tire of Women, I can’t seem to do anything right by them… all they are good for is sex and sandwiches, because talking to women is like feeding geese; they only cause pain and drama in the end and get the mob after you. Social Justice is NOT justice, for true Justice is blind to color, wealth, religion, sex, age, or political affiliation, and gives equal opportunity; social justice demands equal outcome… regardless of everyone being different. Islam, is EVIL! Don’t believe me? Look up what they do to your precocious minority groups in the middle east, or women, or gays, or anybody else really… and think what would it be like if that were brought here to the West; oh wait, you don’t have to imagine, because it’s happening because you IDITOS want open borders, no cops, no guns, and no prisons! Just, let all the criminals and terrorists have free reign to do as they please. If 15% of the population commits 85% of the crime, it’s NOT RACIST, IT’S FACT. And as we all know; “Facts don’t care about your feelings. Neither do I.” Because you “people” are unworthy of anything but contempt or pity for either willful ignorance, or blatantly supporting evil! 

Speaking of evil, let’s talk about your RP, shall we? All those out there who are “Oh the Void is the answer, Fel ain’t so bad, Undeath is the true answer…” blah blah blah, all BULLSHIT! You KNOW you’re evil and yet you deny it because you like dark edgy brooding powers, OR, being some OP godmodding rogue who can be 100 places all at once, never gets hit, and can fire off machine guns that somehow pierce magic and armor. Your clandestine torturous rp is as bland an uninspired as you are! At least druids and Shamans have nature and the elements for some measure of good in their chaos; why must it all be about darkness and edginess? And don’t think I’ve forgotten either you military types, or civilians either… you both have your own set of issues! Military types have no freedom of expression for RP, you just “Follow orders” and keep secrets, even when you’re being asked by someone who is ICly a superior officer about general information, not clandestine stuff! How shallow can you get???  And Civilians, oh civilians… how insignificant you are, and you know it; heck, you CHOOSE it! How can anybody create a beautiful, magnificent piece of art and call is basic???? Even non civilians RP like they are just nobody’s wandering aimlessly in a great big world, that somehow takes merely an hour or so to traverse BY SEA! Come on, people! If you’re going to rp, at least give it some sense of consistency! Which, brings me to Gnome RPers; I despise you, because rather than being the “open minded” folk you claim to be, all you do is brag about some gizmo that can beat out magic and that Paladins are shit idiots who apparently talk out of their asses and are as useful on a battlefield as a banana covered in piss! No regarding that it was PALADINS who won the Second War! But it’s not just Gnomes who are like that, oh no… EVERYONE is like that!!! Paladins, the greatest mortal champions to EVER WALK THE FACE OF FUCKING AZEROTH are treated as either stupid, or blind zealots like the Scarlet Crusade… which, despite evidence to the contrary, is NOT associated with the Silver Hand, the Argent Dawn, Or the Alliance! Give it a rest folks! I mean, is it really THAT BAD for a character to have morals and ideals??? At least they have SOMETHING interesting to strive for; but not you elf sluts… oh no! Elf sluts are everywhere! Void Elf Sluts, Blood Elf Sluts, High Elf Sluts, Night Elf Sluts… even Space Elf Sluts! (Draenei) All y’all just prance around all sexy-like, being all flirty and seductive, but then you opt out of erp like a fucking weak-sause and fade to black because you’re too squirmy to actually DEAL with REAL things! This i not an opinion, it’s a fact: If you dress sexy, EXPECT to get hit on, it applies to life, it applies in game, it applies everywhere, and it’s not sexist to say so. It IS however, willfully ignorant and foolishness’ to say the opposite! Have I offended you enough yet??? You still sticking around?

3. As I am tired of being backstabbed by people, and this seems to be a popular thing to do with guilds, I’m posting here a ToS sheet of my own. A contract, that in order to interact with me in any IC setting, you must agree to:

“I, __________ Do consent to the following in hopes of engaging in Role Play interactions: I recognize that (a.) the desired party I wish to interact with is of an OOC political/ideological viewpoint that is Right Wing Conservatism, and recognize that he means no actual physical harm to myself, or any persons I know. I understand and accept that he does not support BLM or the LGBT+ movements, but is not seeking to kill or persecute anyone and just wants to live in peace and be left alone. I recognize that (a.) is a human being, and an individual with aspburgers syndrome; these are neither facts for taking pity, but merely a recognition that (a.) is likely to make mistakes either IC or OOC, and shall not be judged OOC on IC interactions, or unfairly judged for OOC actions, and will be listened to and forgiven if he offense was an accident. I do consent for our muses to have the following relationship: (circle all that apply) Friendship, Leader/Follower, Rivalry/Nemesis, Familial, Sexual. I consent that in the following relationship(s), certain things may come up, and am perfectly ok and consenting to these interactions. (i.e. erp in a sexual relationship, jabs in a friendship, fighting in rivalry/nemesis) I will not spread rumors or speak about (a.) in a negative manner while under contract. I will not heed words from those who are enemies of (a.) or seek to blacklist him, and will continue to interact with him in honesty and good faith as long as out contract holds. I will under no circumstances, block/blacklist (a.) without giving the following: a request for termination of contract, and a listed reason as to why contact and contract are to be terminated. Should I breach this contract, I am consenting to having a callout made against me for breaching a contract and damaging trust and loyalty given, and that such a breach will follow me to the end of my days. For my end, (a.) will be nothing but supportive IC and OOC, someone who will listen, will boost and promote me, never smear my name or judge my IC actions OOCly, will stand up for me should things take a turn for the worse in OOC related chats concerning what is going on IC. Thus do I, in full soundness of mind and body, do agree to these terms.”

OTHER:

I’m always happy to play with anyone on Crystal Cluster. If there’s somewhere you’d like to RP in game I am happy to server visit. Because I have a house on Bryn, I likely won’t be moving any time soon. (But I have alts I can produce on other servers if you ask!)

I am very interested in friendships and rivalries, as well as meeting other displaced Dalmascan roleplayers and other Viera removed from Golemore! Margie is fairly neutral good, so if you wish for an antagonistic relationship with someone more chaotic or evil, that would also be perfectly fine. I am not interested in romantic RP on this character at this time.

I am fine with tumblr, discord, or in-game RP!

I’m a long-time player of Final Fantasy, but fairly new to RP here. I’d like to meet a lot of people!
