Squatting

1. Send continual asks both anon and not (I'm talking dozens a day), trying to push for interaction. This is usually with either some massively over-powered Mary-Sue or a cutesy child-appearing muse (child vampire, anime-style fox or cat-girl). Many of these asks go into sensual or sexual aspects (unwanted touching etc) even when asked IC and OOC to stop.

The Mary-Sues arrive throwing their weight around and being invincibly powerful. The mun gets angry when the target doesn't just accept this, and starts lashing out OOC. The 'child' muses start off cutesy but then begin flirting with adult-appearing males.

(They also send anons as animals or young children, which isn't bad on its own but is another way they get under people's guard.)

If the target doesn't answer all their (many) asks, or tells them they're not interested/are not RPing at the moment/are busy/didn't receive the asks, they make not-veiled-in-the-least accusations that the target is lying. They absolutely refuse to respect boundaries or take no for an answer. If you refuse to interact they will demand to know why and then not accept the explanation. If you block them, they will come back with another blog.

2. Attack and harass the target's writing partners, especially those receiving the IC attention (mostly romantic) they want for themselves. This runs from oblique 'you shouldn't talk to [name] that way' to 'do you want to date [name]?' through to OOC 'how do you know [blog name]', accusations of 'forcing a ship' and demands that the shipping partner back off. If this doesn't work out they become outright aggressive toward the shipping partner muns, sometimes having their 'muse' act violently toward the other.

Meanwhile, they're busy trying to (guess what?) force a ship on the target muse, often with the 'child-like' muses as mentioned above.

3. Pretend to be someone else. I became aware of this person somewhere around 2018-ish, when they had Shinobu Oshino blog called VampireDonuts. They were pestering at least three people in the historical RP fandoms with unsolicited asks. Another regular alt of theirs is an 'elven princess' going by 'thepureststar', 'ofpurestarlight' or variations on that theme (Emilia Clarke as an FC, usually opens with offering a drink). They brushed past a ship-partner of mine and we didn't think much of it at the time. We were apparently luckier than others had been (callout at the time here, began with the URL 'Coffeeisms', then started with one of the 'starlight' ones). Almost every single thing that's gone down from this person in the last couple of years, they were doing back then. Including block-evasion.

At a point where they were using 'ofpureststarlight' and someone started pointing out harassment from them. Another blog appeared, 'ofcelestialfire', lashing out at the accusers and talking up 'ofpureststarlight' as a wonderful friend. However the behavior, language and certain spelling/grammar errors were exactly the same. I wasn't privy to whatever finally proved they were the same, but they were called out and promptly deactivated both.

In late 2022/early 2023 they hit the Avatar (blue people) fandom and attached themselves to the main antagonist, first with the URL 'lotusreigned' (see the last part of point 1 above!).

After being blocked, they showed up with another Shinobu Oshino account 'loverofdonuts', then after being called out for their harassment again, ran through 'ofbloodissims', 'ofbatissims' and a few others in between. And then ...

As 'ofpureststarlight' they went completely off their tree at someone who was joking with the mun, dropping flirty crack asks that no-one else was taking seriously. That person has since deactivated so most the evidence is lost, but here are a few examples.

Around this same time they were hitting the DBZ fandom, and mid-2023 Spiderverse. Again, whenever blocked they would come back with a new blog and follow the same people who had just blocked them. Some of this is in the callout linked above.

Fast forward to last year, when they were being called out on this URL ...

Ironically they only arrived on this URL because they'd been called out for harassment on the original ('lotusreigned', followed by 'purplelightningwaves' and a few others).

It's also around this point that the callout linked at the top of this post comes in.
