Grow a pair

[insanenoodlyguy]

unfollow them already. AND TELL THEM WHY.

They probably wont' get it now but it might help them unfuck themselves in a few years.

Re: Grow a pair

[(Anonymous)]

OP here. The person in question already receives the occasional message telling her to maybe use her personal blog for art angst, to which she replies "I'M SORRY FOR EXISTING WAAH", then other followers start comforting her, and nothing changes.

It's frustrating because she IS very talented and I love her art.

Re: Grow a pair

[insanenoodlyguy]

Oh I said a few years for a reason. Hindsight is pretty accurate. You might help her get there faster at best.

Either way, you are free. Keeping up with a draining person for the sake of pity is just that: draining. You'll leave anyway, eventually. Spare yourself the prolonged pain.

[souljelly]

Is the picture fandom-relevant? I'm still not immersed enough in the community to stage a guess as to who this is.

You can always put their username on your tumblr saviour blacklist, if you have that. That way you can ignore their posts without consequence.

[pkbitchgirl]

I'm guessing probably not, Picard face palm is a well known reaction picture

[souljelly]

Yeah, that's why I wasn't sure. Ah well -shrugs-

[iceyred]

Are you following them because you pity them, or are you following them so you can watch the drama and feel superior?

[(Anonymous)]

...or they're following them because they like the person's art?

wtf?

[(Anonymous)]

Leave. Let them whine, it's their problem, not yours.

Life's too short for that kind of shit.

[elaminator]

This sounds a lot like an anon from GC the other day. I wonder if that person made the secret then finally decided to unfollow the artist. I hope so.

[mekkio]

Is this secret about euclase? Because your reasons are the very same reasons why I stopped following her. I loved her realistic art but it wasn't worth the same day after day drama she was always complaining about.

[(Anonymous)]

I am so glad I wasn't the only one to immediately wonder if this was euclase. I dropped her well before everyone went to Tumblr; same reason.

Is she still getting (and posting) anon hatemail, crying over how hurt and discouraged and bruised she is, while refusing to turn off anon commenting? In a pattern that makes reasonable people suspect that the horrible, mean anons are in fact herself? Because she was doing that on LJ and it just got weird.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why she'd keep anon on if it bothers her. People on tumblr need to learn that a. you can turn off anon and b. even if you have anon turned on you don't have to respond. You can just delete things.

My tumblr is completely drama free because on the rare occasion I receive anything negative, I don't post it.

I do sometimes think people are looking for attention when they post this stuff, but I prefer to not have to deal with that level of negativity.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how she's handling anon asks on Tumblr. I stopped following her way back in her LJ days, when she would post the anon flames she got in her LJ inbox, garner all kinds of sympathy, but then refuse to disable anon PMs.

The flames were all OTT homophobic crap, about her slash fanart. After a while, I figured that the worst case was, she was faking the whole thing; best case, she liked the attention so much that she was allowing this to continue. I didn't need it, either way.

Whether she still does this, I don't know. This was years ago. I've heard through the grapevine that she's just as much a drama-llama as ever, but nothing specific, and I haven't asked or gone looking for her to find out. Dealing with her was always like walking through a house of mirrors. She can be so genuinely sweet but after a while I felt like nothing she said could be taken at face value, as real. Because I wasn't entirely sure she knew where the fiction/reality borderline was. IDK it was just weird, and impossible to prove how often she contradicted herself because she deleted so many of her posts without warning.

I don't necessarily dislike her but I remember her as incredibly talented, and too exhausting for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Genuinely sweet my ass. I said something about one of her videos ("I'm surprised how close you stick to the reference") or something and she and her little band of asslickers descended on me to whine about how evil and untalented an artist I was for callying her a ~tracer~ or some shit.

Whining, self-pitying drama-llama ≠ nice.

[(Anonymous)]

I can understand ya OP. I get a little frustrated when I'm a fan of someone who I know CAN produce good stuff but makes a big fool of themselves and acts in a way that is so embarrassing I can't bring myself to defend them.

I also understand not wanting to risk hurting someone. I follow someone on Tumblr who reblogs lot of "i'm so ugly" stuff....but I feel like a hypocrite unfollowing them for personal angst because I've done it. Though I honestly try to keep my breakdown posts to a minimum and feel bad when I do post one. I'm an emotional rollercoaster and can go from feeling like the scum of the universe to "the world is wonderful" in the space of a few hours. I don't like to bring friends down with my fleeting emotional downs. When I have to vent I do it anon somewhere sometimes.

Secret 2 - Fanart

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is Jean-Luc Picard from the TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation" covering his face with one hand. He is a man with light skin, a bald hair and wearing a dark red suit while sitting on a chair inside a spaceship?]

You are insufferable. You're a very talented, popular fanartist yet 90% of your art blog consists of self-pity and fishing for validation from your followers. And then you wonder why you lose some of those followers each time you do that! Time to look in the mirror! Practice more on your art if you're that unsatisfied by it. Whining will NEVER help you with that.

Also, on the rare occasion you do post new art, maybe don't re-blog it fifteen times in the following day. YES WE SAW IT don't shove it in our faces!

Secret because: I'd have unfollowed your sorry ass ages ago but I know you'd notice my absence and that would give you yet another reason to whine. I pity you too much to leave.

[(Anonymous)]

Until the 'art' part registered I was starting to wonder if I'd been making secrets in my sleep. There's this writer in my fandom...

[(Anonymous)]

I was also wondering about that. I also know a writer on my fandom who's just like that...

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like you're well off unfollowing her and letting the drama lie where it falls. If the artist is already whining and insufferable, one more lost follower isn't going to really change that.

And on a side note, a big UGH JUST STOP IT ALREADY to people who reblog themselves repeatedly, especially over a brief period of time. You guys suck.

[(Anonymous)]

There's an extension - I think it's part of XKit? - that will allow you to hide certain users' text posts. Sounds like that might be a good option, since you could still see the art and not have to unfollow but not have to put up with the whining anymore, either.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, you don't pity someone too much when you rip them to shreds on FS.....
