I'll admit that killing you killed a part of me

I'm a pro-LGBT+ Gotham blog. I think you're in the wrong place, my guy.

I know I've been dark for a while, but life has very much gotten in the way, and I haven't had the time I would like to be more active on this blog. However, please know that I do love and miss all my Gotham/Nygmobblepot peeps, and hope to get this account back up and running soon.

I actually wanted to get on here now though to ask for your help.

My dog Sherlock (the absolute love and joy of my existence) needs a small medical procedure to remove a piece of foxtail plant from inside her ear. They're really nasty, sharp little darts that stick to her like velcro, and we've had trouble with them in the past.

Btw this is Sherlock (feat. my mom):

The lowest estimate we've received is $555. It's definitely not as expensive as something more serious might be, but it's coming at an incredibly difficult time financially. I'm the only one working to support my mom and Sherlock and myself, and am already struggling with rent and bills. My grandpa is also in the middle of major heart issues, and we have been spending a lot of money in gas and essentials to help my grandma with his care. So on top of everything, it's a huge expense that I'm scared will be too much to handle. Especially since the vet doesn't take Care Credit, which would have covered it.

I hate to have to ask strangers on the internet for help, but Sherlock is in a lot of discomfort and possibly pain, and it breaks my heart that I'm running out of options. I don't know how else to help, so I've made a GoFundMe that I've linked here.

Anything at all that anyone could give would be so, so very much appreciated. Even if you could reblog this and help spread the word, it would mean everything to me.

Thank you so much, guys. Love and miss you, and I hope to be back on here more often very soon!

I still play on the Johnlock tag on omegle, and I write my own prompts. I've gotten praise in the past for good characterisation, and well-written prompts, which I work hard on and am always really proud of (especially because less and less people in the tag are providing prompts themselves).

Because I put so much work into my prompts, and especially because this is basically my only creative outlet right now during a really shitty time (Covid stress, severe election stress, a close friend/ex boyfriend killing himself, etc) I usually just disconnect if I feel like my character doesn't have the right chemistry with the other character playing. Sometimes I disconnect because of a lot of grammatical and spelling issues, but not as often. Sometimes the app glitches. Sometimes real life interrupts and I have to disconnect at a moment's notice. Sometimes the other person takes obscenely long to come back with one sentence replies. People disconnect from me without reason all the time, I just figure they have their reasons and move on.

Apparently, according to this person, people have been talking about how shitty my behavior supposedly is. They've asked why I don't direct characterisation more, which I make a point not to do because I was under the impression that It was rude to do so. And if I wanted to write for both characters, I would write fanfiction.

I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but my feelings are seriously hurt, and I feel a little silly for it. But this has always been fun for me, and I hate the thought that people are talking badly about me behind my back.

I guess my question is, am I the asshole here? Have the rules of courtesy on omegle changed since I first started on here? I don't know what else to do, except continue convos with people I don't want to and not having any fun, or providing a reason for every single person I disconnect with, however short the convo, which seems both exhausting and hurtful to the other person.

Someone, please advise here!
