Or creates awesome art

Or writes that fic you love

Even if you’re shy

Because I guarantee they’ll love the something nice you have to say. You don’t have to try to be their friend, they don’t have to respond. But it goes appreciated.

For every one person who puts themself out there and chooses to be brave and make a little tag or send an ask or a comment with actually nice things, five other people will wake up and choose to be an asshole (on probably their own and their five+ alt accounts)

Some of them will dedicate a ridiculous amount of time and effort just to be an asshole. Some of them will sandwich their assholery with compliments so people feel uncomfortable but don’t feel they can say anything about it. Stuff like “I really love your stuff but why can’t you draw what I want you to draw instead of x?” Or use your posts as a vehicle to start arguments and spread negativity.

So it’s down to the rest of us to drown it out.

There is no need to be an asshole. Be nice to someone today ✨
