Hello there! :D

I wanted to update my About Me section with all my current fandoms but decided that it might fit better in a pinned post.

First of all. I'm not a person that can be contained to one fandom. I will write and talk and post and reblog all over the place. I'll make sure to tag everything appropriately so go block tags you don't wanna see or embrace the chaos ^^

My current fandoms: Star Wars, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Just Shapes and Beats, Tears of the Kingdom, Little Witch Academia, Brand New Animal, Pokémon, Minecraft, The Amazing Digital Circus, Hazbin Hotel, FNAF, Undertale

Weekly uploads: I upload two fics on AO3 (Monday and Friday) and one warmup on Tumblr (Wednesday).

That's all for now. I hope you have a good day! :D

one of my favorite fantasy life headcanons is that your bag doesn’t look like how it does in all of the bliss bonuses. it just looks like a normal bag but it’s actually some kind of interdimensional pocket made/upgraded by yuelia’s magic

like imagine you’re one of the npcs and you’re traveling along with your quiet and unassuming friend when they start stuffing a fuck ton of ore and logs into their bag?? and then they carry it around with them like it weighs nothing?? they change lives into a paladin or mercenary before you two go off to fight like the golden dragon and they just pull out the biggest fucking sword you’ve ever seen from their itty bitty bag to equip it. I personally would be terrified because that is some eldritch shit

a second headcanon has just hit the towers (my brain at 4 in the morning)

I like to think that the npcs of reveria are very divided on their opinions of our character. on one hand we’re super helpful, traveling all over the continent to fulfill the requests of absolute strangers and making them and bringing them all kinds of shit even though it can be really inconvenient at times. we befriended tons of people along the way, repaired relations between the kingdoms, and saved the world from eternal darkness.

but on the other hand, we’re actively the most dangerous person in the region by the time we’ve grinded our way to being a legend at all twelve lives, ignoring the dlc entirely because we’re even more insane with that. we’re rolling in dosh, have a house in every single kingdom INCLUDING on the goddamn island in the sky that everyone thought was a myth so we can come and go wherever we want as we please. our skills in creation and combat are unmatched by anyone- we can take down dragons on the daily, mine or chop down any deposit, reel in any fish, and meet with god himself whenever we want. AND WE BARELY SPEAK? BARELY EMOTE AT ALL? that shit would have me feeling like lex luthor because yeah it’s great that they’re on our side but what if they weren’t??? reveria would be so fucked forget about everything else we gotta do something about this absolutely cracked teenager

Tips and ideas for how to respond when someone is being rude to you

For personal reasons I won't get into, I have a history of just freezing when some is rude / hostile / aggressive / condescending / patronizing / etc. It's obviously not something I'm happy about at all, most people who freeze or fawn aren't happy about it and would change it if they could.

One day I confided in my co-worker, a middle aged woman in her 50's, that this is something I struggle with. Considering how confident and assertive she always struck me as, I was shocked when she told me this is also something she's struggled with.

The advice she gave me is to just memorize and practice a few broad statements or reactions that you can pull out of your pocket so to speak when someone is being rude or disrespectful to you. It's not easy if you're someone who's been conditioned to freeze or fawn, but practice helps. Practice saying these things when you're alone. Put up a sticky note next to your bed or on your bathroom mirror with these phrases and practice them when you see them. Practice saying these with a partner or trusted friend, role-play scenarios where you might need to use these phrases.

Here's a few phrases that have worked for me. The nice thing about them is that they tend to shut down the situation rather than escalating, while still letting the aggressor know that you don't find their behavior acceptable.

"Are you okay?"

This works well in professional settings, because it's not like your work place's residential bully can run to HR about you asking if they're okay (but they might if you try to retaliate and give them a taste of their own medicine). However, it still effectively sends the message "I think there's something wrong with your behavior and don't accept it". It's also not likely the response they're expecting, so it'll likely throw them off and prevent further verbal aggression.

"Could you repeat that for me? I didn't catch what you said."

This one is most effective for people you believe to actually have a conscious and might regret what they said if they actually thought about it a little more. I find that often when I do this one, when people repeat the rude/snippy/patronizing/etc thing they either shamefully stumble over their words and show some remorse, or they change altogether what they say. In the off chance they don't regret what they said and end up repeating exactly what they said, this at least buys you some time to think of a better reaction since you're no longer caught off guard by a sudden rude and snippy remark.

"Can you explain what you mean by that?"

Similar logic to the last one. Often when people are being rude/snippy/patronizing/etc they're caught up in their own emotions in that moment and didn't think it through. This is a polite and civil way of putting their rude behavior in the spotlight and making them reconsider what they said. The other advantage to this one is that in case you did misread their intentions and they meant no harm by what they said or did, this gives them an opportunity to clarify that, instead of you just feeling bad over a statement or actions they actually had no ill intentions with.

If anyone has any further examples of reactions / responses / statements that have worked for them, I'd love to hear about them. I'm new to studying the art of how to civilly yet effectively shut down bad behavior from others, so I'm always open to hearing more suggestions.

Here's another one I recently learned from a friend when I was griping to her about things like, co-workers who are redpill/MRA types and always trying weasel their agenda into casual and unrelated conversations to impose their views on me, or co-workers who strongly feel their home country is superior to my home country so they try to weasel how much better their home country is and how awful mine is into unrelated conversations. You are actually allowed to just say:

"I am not interested in having this conversation."

Yes, you are actually allowed to just say that. No, it's not particularly rude especially if the other person is trying to impose a topic or conversation on you that you don't want to have.

I say not particularly rude instead of not rude at all because of course the chances are not zero that they'll still take offense and find it rude. But this is one of the more professional and efficient ways of shutting down a conversation that you find inappropriate and just don't want to have.

If they don't respect this, just keep repeating yourself until they stop. And if they still don't respect it, then you have grounds to go to your manager / HR about them not respecting your boundaries and repeatedly imposing a conversation on you that you made it clear multiple times that you do not want to have. That is of course, if you do have a good HR department and/or manager who you think will actually care and handle it properly and professionally. If not, I'm sorry and I hope you can find a new job soon.

If your job requires emailing at all, I've also picked up a few methods for responding to rude emails.

In my current job I strictly work B2B (business to business) and before this job had only worked retail and food service. I thought when I broke into office work that I was finally done with, well, the types of things you deal with in public facing customer service roles (the constant rudeness, dehumanization, unnecessary hostility, etc you know) but unfortunately after nearly two years sending and receiving emails in a B2B setting I regret to inform you that people are still rude dehumanizing jerks even when you are both professionals at work representing your own respective companies.

So, here's a few firm yet professional replies I've picked up.

If you are emailing with a supplier (as in a situation where *you* are the client) obviously you still need them to function at your job so you still need to be professional and remain on good terms with them, but unfortunately with the way things work when you are the client you do get a little more leeway in being firm and standing up for yourself. My go-to response when a supplier is being out of line rude / unprofessional / disrespectful is:

"Unfortunately I have to express disappointment at the lack of professional tone in your email."

Every time I've used this with a supplier I get an apology and a change of tone from thereon. You don't want to escalate the aggressive tone in a work related email, that never ends well, once they drag you down to their level there's no coming back from the fact that you just normalized the aggressive and unprofessional tone of your email communications with this supplier, so you want to keep the "high ground" so to speak. When you keep on the high ground instead you can shift the tone back to professional and courteous, which obviously makes your job easier.

However, you're still not letting them off the hook or just letting it slide with expressing your disappointment, and it's also good to be (professionally) putting your foot down and calling out the behavior so they don't get the idea that they can throw tantrums at you again in the future in a professional setting.

Handling rude and unprofessional emails from clients is obviously more tricky, because depending on what industry you're in the power dynamics are typically shifted more in their favor, so you have to watch your tone a little more.

I'm lucky enough that at my job I'm not only part of a union, but I have a boss who takes my side when clients are being unreasonable and unprofessional, so I can get away with a:

"Let's keep the tone of our communications professional, shall we?"

It still has a bit of a "customer service" tone to it, it still gives you the high ground (again, you don't want to sink down to their level and normalize rude / petty / hostile interactions with this client, it will make your job harder and more stressful if you do) but it does still address the behavior and let them know you're not just letting it slide.

There's also principles of verbal self defense that you can learn, if the rudeness problem is chronic, systemic, or verging on abusive.

Two books I've used: The Gentle Art Of Verbal Self Defense by Dr. Elgin, and The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Dr Pat Evans . Personally I find Dr Evans book more accessible, but both have good tips and skills you can learn.

I’ve seen this circulating forever and genuinely thought “no way do I have any of them following me” until this week when it turned out I had all these fuckin “MAP” (pedophile) followers sad to find out I’m an “anti” (normal person) Please leave and also please get guinea worm.

Reblogged this before but I’ll gladly bring it back. I’d rather lose half my followers than be welcoming to pedos.

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

What part of "the detective franchise is back babey" did you not get. There were 14 Poirot films and that's not counting the show which was a standard season for most of its run. 69 Columbo episodes. Like it or hate it you are going to be seeing Benoit Blanc until the day he stops making money and then some.

He hasn't even been on a train yet for fucks sake

HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN ON A TRAIN YET!!!!

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

"That is Signal, the Last Follower of the Old Law."

Prompt: After a lackluster 1st year as a Hero, you’re ready to go rogue. The problem is that the new guy in the team is definitely onto you.

That nerdy guy knows your secret.

You scan the briefing documents as your team leader, Mr. Subterranean, drones on. As usual, the pack of graphs and statistics look impressive. As usual, you seem to be the only one at the table who knows they’re wrong. Or, maybe, cares that they’re wrong.

“Crime is down in the 52nd ward by 30% as compared to 2016…”

You take the chance to glance at the nerd. He’s listening to Mr. Subterranean as attentively as you did when you first joined this team of the Hero Force. His hands are folded very nicely on the table and he’s watching Mr. Subterranean lie through his teeth with a very polite look on his face. His thick, coke bottle glasses sitting neatly on top of his black mask hide his eyes, but you bet he’s the only one at the table not daydreaming while the leader talks. He strikes you as a teacher’s pet.

Teacher’s pet glances at you through his peripherals. His mouth twitches, revealing a deep dimple, and then he refocuses on Mr. Subterranean. A chill races down your spine.

You’re not sure why you think he knows, but you’ve got animal instincts. If your brain is screeching at you that your plan is in jeopardy, it is.

What are you going to do about it?

“We can see marked improvement in commerce in Old Downtown thanks to the consideration and dedication shown by our new patrol routes…”

Because you’re watching the new guy, you’re the first one to notice when he raises his hand.

He leaves the room, dragging Mr. Subterranean behind him. Both of you breathe a sigh of relief when the door closes.
