Fantasy authors fear the landsknecht and his drip

Shit ass “realistic” fantasy setting: *no color ever, everyone wears boring black and grey mail and leather* Real life medieval elite mercenaries:

i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did

it's funny that this is getting notes again, because last night i went to the thai place in my neighborhood. it's run by a family and during covid times i ate there literally almost every day. later i cut back on eating out so much and hadn't been there in two years but last night we went and ate inside for the first time ever and the owner ran over to say hello and ask how i was, and repeated our old regular order. it was sweet. it's so easy to feel like you are an island, but stuff like this reminds you that you are part of a community.

I have significant experience in customer service jobs and through this post am letting nervous tumblrs know that we hate every customer except our regulars. be a regular somewhere. you might make some friends. in the very least workers will be vaguely fond of you because a portion of your lunch money is their grocery money.

there are old men at bars whom have significant credit for feeding, schooling, and clothing cocktail waitresses children just because they like drinking a few bud lights and chatting with other specific old men every day, as compounded over time. I have seen it with my own eyes (RIP mr Boston), it's a noble and easy thing to be a regular.

Please don’t be hateful or rude to Hetalia fans who have gained a genuine interest of other cultures, languages, geography, and/or history because of Hetalia.

HOW?

Little Austria was going thru it

an important principle of fandom (and life, actually) is that if you want more of Less Popular Thing, it is good to create positive spaces and events for it. however, if you use those spaces to take cracks at the More Popular Thing which you perceive as stealing oxygen from your Less Popular Thing, you do not increase the audience for Less Popular Thing. you decrease it, because you irk people who like both Things. and depending on the relative popularity, there are quite possibly more people who like both Things than people who only like Less Popular Thing. (not to mention - you kill your chances of recruiting people who like More Popular Thing but are neutral on or haven’t considered Less Popular Thing.) 

you’re not campaigning for votes (where There Can Be Only One), you’re marketing for a share of people’s attention. don’t be petty. be effective. 

Also applies in general. Insulting people’s tastes is highly unlikely to result in them becoming more receptive to yours, and you’re likely to only succeed in alienating them (and quite possibly putting them off whatever you’re recommending for life.)

Just focus on whatever you’re trying to promote. “This show’s great; I think you might like it! It’s about blah blah blah” or even “If you liked X you might like Y too; they’re quite similar in some ways!” It sounds cheesy, but this really is a time to just be focusing on the positives.

Got this lovely Tolys commission from @lillipupz

[They did a bonus Liet drawing for me, too, under the cut.]

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

Me: Okay, Brain. Think about what happens next in this chapter.

Brain: *Skips three chapters ahead*

Me: No, no. This one, this chapter, the one we are writing right now.

Brain:.......*47 scenes forward*

Me: NO
