before you follow

PLEASE READ:
- if you're here over that "callout" thread, i hate to break it to you but it's not even remotely true. it was posted by someone who has hated me for a long time without justification and they just wanted an excuse to start drama. if you ship the asl bros, don't fucking follow me. if you call yourself a "proshipper" or use the term "antis" unironically, don't follow me. i WILL block you if i catch you breaking my dni. i don't fucking have patience for people spreading lies about me on the internet so this is your first and final warning. :)
- also as a reminder: literally, i kin luffy and my irl twin kins ace. we are biological twins. we see ourselves as the characters. we have and always will view asl BROS as BROTHERS because they are a reflection of us. if you still think i would ship ace and luffy after hearing that, you need to step outside and touch some grass because you're actually insane. also, go fuck yourself. thanks!
- lastly, if you see me following a problematic artist, FUCKING TELL ME!!!! i am not on twitter 24/7 (in fact i'm barely on at all, outside of some art rts and hopping on to post my own tweets) and i do not have the time or energy to vet every single account i follow. if i see cute art, i tend to just hit follow without digging into accounts. i have plenty of muted words and i never see everything every account i follow is posting so it's very easy to miss something. if it happens, and you notice, send me a dm and let me know the artist so i can unfollow!! it's truly that simple, i promise!! don't make assumptions about me because i didn't see that blank artist drew blank ship art (that i've never interacted with) and oh obviously that means i support that ship and i'm a terrible person 🙄 lmao be so fr for once in your life.don't follow me if:
- you fit the general dfi criteria (racist, ableist, transphobic, homophobic, ship incest or pedophilia, support israel or claim to be neutral about the genocide in palestine, etc)
- you ship characters who have platonic/familial relationships in canon (asl bros, coralaw, thancred/minfilia, chara/asriel, kris/asriel, etc).
- you support the misgendering of nonbinary characters like chara, frisk, and kris. do not erase characters that canonically use they/them pronouns! this includes the pixies in ffxiv- do not refer to feo ul with she/her when they exclusively use they/them pronouns!!!
- you say you like pride and prejudice but you mean the 2005 movie instead of the 1995 mini series or the book. i want nothing to do with you. (/hj) for real though, do yourself a favor and watch the mini series. it's a million times better than the 2005 movie ((which is garbage btw))
- you're one of those people who's super aggressive about ship sex dynamics, for example exclusively seeing zoro as a bottom and luffy as a top and harassing anyone who doesn't view them that way. "luzo only" idc they're fictional characters if you're so pressed that someone enjoys them as vers or switches, that's a you problem.be aware:
- i'm not a zosan fan, just so you know (most if not all my complaining about the ship is on priv though).
- similarly, my only ship with luffy or zoro is zolu. other ships involving them like zosan, lusan, zolaw, lawlu, lusopp, kobylu, etc are muted so if you try to bring them up, i won't see it. my account is zolu only.
- i use the term "kin" to describe feeling close with fictional characters, especially when i find a lot of similarities between myself and a character. it's mostly for fun because it makes me feel good, but if it makes you uncomfortable, i understand. my biggest kins are chara dreemurr from undertale and monkey d. luffy from one piece. this is why you'll see me refer to ace and sabo as my brothers.
- please don't use playful insults or rudeness with me. i will never say anything rude to you even as a joke so i hope you can show me that courtesy too. (this goes for kys jokes and slurs as well. please don't use them around me.)
- i have very strong hyperfixations that may change at any time so i apologize if you follow me for a fandom in specific and then i abruptly change interests. i try to talk about all my interests but will usually end up branding myself around whatever my current hyperfixation is.
- i use a lot of exclamation points (!) and emojis, if this bothers you feel free to let me know and i'll tone it down while talking with you.
- if we're mutuals and you want to unfollow me, PLEASE DON'T soft block. it stresses me out when i can't figure out who it was. you are under no obligation to keep following me but please just unfollow so i can keep track of my mutuals and decide whether or not i want to keep following you of my own accord.
- i'm over 20 years old. i prefer not to interact with people who are under 18 (current mutuals are okay) but i don't have a max age range, so i don't care if you're older than me. you can always feel free to unfollow if you're a minor and my age makes you uncomfortable. on a similar note, i may post some things that are a bit nsfw so please be aware of that. if you don't have your age or any indication of your age (such as "minor" or "18+") on your profile, there is a very high chance i will not follow back.
- i'm ace and support all people who are asexual and/or aromantic ♡ (i will not tolerate aphobia of any kind)
