[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

all no caps was giving me a headache

Yeah, I notice that not many sources warn about how you could end up hurting someone if you don't specify, even if that's not your intention at all.

It surprises me, because I'm pretty sure that most people wish for things without intending to cause any harm.

Wishes, words, actions and thoughts (especially when coupled with ritualistic actions) are very powerful things.

If it helps you feel better, causing harm unknowingly, while it does have consequences (as in, karma), doesn't hit back as hard as it would if you had wished harm consciously and intentionally.

And these are things that you can do to make up for it, maybe (unfortunately) not always to the same person who was affected, but wishing others the best, trying to be a good person and help others when you can, it all counts.

If this is weighing on your mind, you can ask for an opportunity to make it up to him (again, with the whole specifying no harm or interfering, etc.), or, and this is the route I would go, you can wish for him to get the kind of help he needs the most (it's better if you don't specify here something like "for him to get a better job", etc., but rather leave it just as "the help he needs the most", because it might turn out that he needssomething completely different for his life to get awesome; we never know vOv), for him to receive it without causing harm to anyone, without disrupting anyone, without taking away merits or triumphs from him or anybody, and for it to count as compensation for whatever harm you may have caused him.

I know I've hurt people in the past that I'm no longer in contact with and making it up to them in person could get complicated, so I've wished for them to receive whatever help they might need (because I honestly don't know what kind of situation they might be in and what they might truly need) and I'm pretty sure that counts too.

I'm glad this has helped you! *hugs*
