   Most of the time, I really don't give a shit about what others do... until I can't read what other people write. I understand that people want to make their post look beautiful, but sometimes these posts are impossible to read. I always wonder: can these people read their own posts? Or do they post it and never read again? 

   I may use small font, but the font size highly depends on my partner's style (if they don’t use it, then I won’t use it, too), I also like to add a horizontal dark line, but these are probably the only things I use. I even stopped using icons because most of them are not really needed in my threads.

I decided to combine my answer with a question about hygiene.

In short, it is obvious that in the world of the post-apocalypse, where such blessings of civilization as a shower, soaps, deodorant and so on are absent. Rotten teeth, lice and other delights are the best friends of a typical inhabitant of the wasteland. My assumptions about hygiene in the game are based only on my imagination, because the game gives us too little (thus giving room for our imagination).

So, we can sometimes find pieces of soaps. I honestly don’t know what happens to soap two hundred years after a nuclear blow, but let’s imagine that it can be used. I’m also sure that people make their own soap. Of course, it is not the same as it was before the war. Could there be any shampoos and other stuff? I tried to google it, but couldn’t find anything.

About water. Again, the game gives us unrealistic ideas about the world of wasteland, because I don’t think that if you just boil water or use those water purifiers made of shit and sticks, the water will be as clean as in the Alps or Baikal. I read the literature on this topic, and it was said there that very small doses of radiation don’t have a strong effect on the human body and animals, but, I quote, “the information can be not accurate”.

Perfume? I think this is a great success if you manage to find a whole, not broken bottle.

So, let’s suppose that people make soap and it can be bought as an ordinary product, and the water is purified so that radiation gives only a slight effect. We answer the main questions.

Ivakir washes herself and her clothes when she can. In her hut there is only a water column. Sometimes this is not enough to wash, so she just goes to the nearest settlement (Iv has many connections, so this is not a problem; at least, she can pay them to use water). The first two days she smells normal, considering that she doesn’t use anything which can block the smell. Unless she is lucky and finds a box of perfume. But the mix of perfume and sweat is horrible.

Ivakir sniffed the air and soon regretted it, feeling a fit of nausea. Big mistake if you did it in Goodneighbor. Iv put her hand to her mouth and lifted her head, but involuntarily admired the decorations hanging near the bar. And in general throughout the city. Few people now celebrated Christmas, New Year and similar holidays for obvious reasons. Few people remembered them, including, of course, Ivakir herself. But it was nice to see the lights, even if not all of them worked. At such moments it seemed that the past was knocking into the future. The atmosphere felt fun, she wanted to join this holiday, although it was not at all clear why it was celebrated at all.

Ivakir exhaled a cloud of steam. The air was colder, heavier, but there was no snow. It used to fall out with gray flakes, but this rarely happened. No snow drifts, snowstorms, snowball fights. Iv only saw snow in old magazines or snow balls with a liquid inside, if they were not broken. Sometimes she dreamed that maybe one day a lot of snow would fall in the Commonwealth and she could .. Ivakir herself didn’t know what she could, but to see once the snow was in the list of her endless desires.

“Valen, look!”

She pointed at a specially interesting decoration. It reminded Iv of grass with white berries. She had never seen such a decoration. She reached out and plucked the grass.

“Do you know what that means, Valen?” Ivakir almost poked this grass into the man’s face, slightly hugging him by the shoulder. “This is some kind of salad that someone hung over the door for some reason, but this will be our lunch today!”

Waiting for the best, namely that her taste buds will explode with a sweet burst of taste (because the berries should be sweet), Ivakir tore off one of the white berries and put it in her mouth. She felt nothing, and her face visibly stretched out.

“It’s damn plastic! A lie! Everything is a lie!” she threw grass on the ground and stepped on it with a boot. The anger left her. Ivakir looked rather sad. “Buy me some food?”

  I don't mind those positive blogs where people write nice posts about their partners. Sometimes it works as a good promo.

  I agree with that there can be a toxic positivity, but I don't have strong examples to give. Unless when people use the phrase "do what you feel is better" for almost anything and sometimes it looks ridiculous. I would use the term "toxic support". A good example is when we have that roleplayer whose threads are always dropped and then they decide to delete their blog, because they don't feel valid, they have enough followers to rp with, but some of them drop threads, others ignore the messages they sent, so what's the point? They make a post about it, because deep down they don't want to delete, they just want some support. And they get support suddenly (!) from those people who ignored them / dropped their threads and their support is like DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT........ like, imagine how ridiculous it is: these people ignore your starter calls, your messages, but they "support" you when you want to delete. In another case, the roleplayer gets positive words about their character/writing, it works for some time, but nothing changes. The only thing that will help them feel valid is when their threads are stopped being dropped. Because you feel valid only when someone interacts with you.

"Support this, support that" - sometimes I see these posts and they look to me like another form of toxic positivity, especially if they are written like: "if you don't support x, then go kill yourself" or “x are the better than y”. Maybe it's just a joke and I am too old to understand it, but, in my opinion, your "positivity / support" post will work opposite if it has death threats or it belittles the other group.

  If I have to plot with someone, but then their character just leaves the thread, like, we literally plotted for nothing. And it always has such stupid excuses like "my character didn't like it, so he got up and left". If we are talking about the plot, and not about improvisation, then your character cannot just leave, then what's the point of plotting?
