Ah! A maskless Ask! Delightful! Now, now… To answer such a question…

Let me be very forward with you, comrade. I receive no hatemail or troll interaction, perhaps besides that one puzzling “prophetic” anonymous ask.

My blog is simply not popular and does not seem to gain the look of many eyes. Pity me not, for I am simply not the type the world around me enjoys or prefers. These posts, my hard work and thought, are made because I enjoy what I do. One day, something I say will resonate with the right person. I must remind people again: Do not be afraid to interact. Do not be afraid to “spam like” or some fucking bullshit term they use now. Connect my interests with yours, find what they have in common. But other than that, I am not here to be consumed.

Regardless, I’ve been secretly hated on before at most. I’ve had people I’ve met offline turn into monsters. Real monsters. But those days as a younger lad, I eventually moved away. I began to understand how cruel isolation became on the mind. I realized I may not be the only one. There are people out there desperately clawing at you, thrashing violently at any nearby person in hopes to alleviate their own agony. They choose to “solve” their own issues by spreading misery (“misery loves company”). Those tormented humans I met offline? They are rotting away in my blocklists.

If I were to ever receive hatemail, however, the routine is simple:

Take a screenshot and block the user.

Consider a type of person I know is reprehensible (unhinged transphobe, filthy misogynist, some half-eaten racist I have decided to impale and keep in the yard (not eaten by me, his blood is that of an already decayed corpse)).

Create an unpleasant mocking voice that would fit such a clearly very unloved being and read the stupid text over in said voice.

This here is a very crucial skill. Be your own fucking lawyer. The mind is highly adept at finding ways to prove you are as downright vile as it thinks you are. It has a negative bias. You need to disapprove every statement and also recognize that very often, the statements random losers who want to play High School Bully make (online and offline) are projections and even forward admissions of their own sins. Such is not always the case, but it happens frequently, often from randomly violent strangers online. Some great lines to fixate on are: “Many of my friends would disagree with this.” “Perhaps this is only true when looking at an incident out of context.” “I’ve made some errors, but I’ve worked to counter the harm I’ve done.” This is also wonderful advice to use when attempting to mitigate self-hatred.

Affirmations are never “cringe”, “narc”, “egotistical”, or “evil”. Whether you believe what you speak forth to yourself or not, repetition of words will have an effect eventually. Remind yourself of the truth and support yourself. If no one’s got you, you’ve got you. Keep proving the truth and going over it if you must. Some beings are bound to ruminate anxiously over this sort of thing, so it’s more than alright to keep treating yourself for the pain.

Delete that screenshot completely. As petty as you are convinced you feel, “using it for motivation”, you are not. You are letting them live in your mental castle rent-free and sacrifice-free. They want to be on your mind. They get off on people being tormented by the thought of someone else, as they feel that is the only control they have in their miserable lives.

Take care of yourself. Meet all of your needs yourself. Stress is worsened by lack of care.

“My lord, aren’t they already in my head when I am said lawyer? Or when I repeat the actual truth?” Perhaps sometimes. But those steps are strictly for wearing the thought of them out. That experiment? “Do not think about pink elephants.” Ah, Christ. People cannot evade the thought of pink elephants. And certainly, those thoughts and feelings of being bothered may return, so gently work to sweep them off the front porch every autumnal dawn. You do not win by just not thinking about it. You win by treating that sickness before you’re so much as progressing a millimeter to being gravely ill.

I do sincerely apologize for my extensive and disoriented rambling. I answered this late night and have been pondering this Ask for quite some time. Drink some water and get some proper rest. For the dawn is thy enemy, and you shall face it headstrong!

[Future Lord Dracula present: It seems that fortunately, this lost draft ended up reappearing. I apologize for such a long delay. I never noticed the number of drafts randomly go up. I have been thinking about this one for a long while.]

People get *pissed* when I say "[insert character] is autistic" because either they're ableists or they want concrete evidence even though a head canon hurts no one.

The most common 2 people get mad at me for is Obi-wan from Star Wars and Alucard from Castlevania. I was Obi-wan's padawan/adopted child, and I was Alucard's dog, I would know.

Thank you xoxo

I can do my best!
