Bitches out here roleplaying internet trolling

The fact that Orlando Bloom (Legolas) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) both said that they based their performances in Lord of the Rings off of cat behavior really shows you the sheer range of what cats are like

depression tips™

Circulating. Seasonal depression is creeping around now.

Lets keep this moving

vampire oc who enjoys roleplaying as his vampire oc in forums online

he finally meets the middle aged housewife who is his long-term writing partner in person and they fall in love so it’s a romance between an eternally 25 6’3” 400 year old German vampire who learned modern slang online and his now wife, an eternally 50 year old stereotypical Minnesotan mother of 5 who he treats like a goddess (he ate her lazy, entitled first husband)

he comes into the room after eating her husband and is like “It Is Done” and she’s like “oh sweetie, you’re such a messy eater 🥰” before licking her thumb and wiping blood off the corner of his mouth

her eldest daughter returns from college to find her mother is more spry and happy and energetic than she has been in years and has to awkwardly sit across from her new stepdad who looks the same age as her. she notices her mother and stepfather refusing to eat any of the Minnesotan culinary delights her mother has prepared. she says nothing. she likes seeing her mother happy. even if her stepdad is weird and quiet.

after the kids mature, the vampire and his bride go on a world tour. they’re at every luxurious spot in America and then back to continental Europe. the odd couple. the striking young man who looks like a model and his wife, a very normal looking woman who is twice his age with a strong midwestern accent. more in love than any two people anyone has ever seen.

oh! and they still write their vampire OCs together. they publish their joint authored bodice-ripper vampire romance novels for money.

hitting reblog, head in hands, the sigh heard round the world

Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.

Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:

“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.

Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent

Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”

And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.

As someone who took etiquette lessons, politeness is an incredibly effective tool for disarming bigots. You can either force them to reconsider their words/actions by directly and calmly confronting their behavior (by using the rules of society in your favor), or you can dip entirely while they appear to be in the wrong.

Both options are great.

Because the thing is, when bigots pick fights, they are 100% counting on you to get louder than them. Or meaner. They want you to react emotionally and provide fodder for their 'You're Too Emotionally Immature To Understand' cannon.

What they aren't expecting you to do is say one of the following phrases in a polite, concerned tone:

For those of you who'd are spiteful and/or dealing with Fundamentalists/Evangelicals/generally shitty Christians:

And my all time favorite:

"It sounds to me like there are some seriously dark and angry forces at work in your heart."

(Nothing stops a Christian bigot in their tracks faster than implying the Devil is causing their bigotry. But you MUST be calm, polite, and gentle with your tone and wording. It is absolutely fair to twist the rules and play them at their own game, but you gotta play hard.)

TLDR: It's much faster to use etiquette, politeness, and rhetoric reversal when eviscerating idiots online and in person, because they aren't expecting you to weaponize their behaviors back in their direction. Don't get angry, get spitefully polite! :)
