text, memeing it up

[rathercommon]

Hullo, all.

So...The days are short, the air is cold (except in Heropa), and all of us are struggling with lingering embarrassment from all those mis-sent texts. So, to give us all a bit of cheer, and in recognition of all the holidays we've constructed to help us deal with winter, I thought we all could give one another a bit of love.

So! How does this work, then? Well -

1. Go ahead and post your name in this post.
2. People respond to you with things they like about you, lovely moments you've shared, et cetera.
3. You go out and respond to others with things you like about them.
4. NO BEING AWFUL. Do NOT give backhanded compliments or secretly troll people or things like that. The point of this is to be good to one another. Go be good to one another!

[Fun fact: Jacob Taylor is terrible at resisting dares.]

Okay. Since you put it that way.

This is where everyone can tell Hazel how great she is. And I mean everyone.

[This will go well.]

[deadtective]

[ah yes, here we go. Hazel's ready for this party.]

Don't hold your breath, it's right in the rules that you can't lie here.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

It says you can't give "backhanded compliments." Nothing in there about not giving real ones that aren't wanted.

[deadtective]

It also says not to be fucking awful, and making shit up is definitely awful.

[she'd know.]

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Kitty's the one running this thing, and she hasn't said anything against it yet. Guess that means there's no problem. Too bad, Hazel.

[deadtective]

She's probably got be blocked, sooo...

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Now you're just reaching. Why would Kitty block you? And if she did, how would you be able to respond to this post?

[deadtective]

I'm pretty sure that the only thing keeping most people from blocking me is a lack of technical know-how, honestly.

And that's her fault for making this a post open to everyone! She probably doesn't even fucking know I'm here since she can't see my replies.

[rathercommon]

Erm, yes, I can see your replies.

[deadtective]

Oooh, even better, you're ignoring me on purpose.

[rathercommon]

Was there something I was supposed to have replied to?

[deadtective]

Apparently, according to our buddy up there. Fuck if I know what it is.

[rathercommon]

You said something was against the rules, Jacob was right that it wasn't, so I didn't have any reason to chime in. And I didn't. That's not exactly 'deliberately ignoring' is it.

[deadtective]

Some moderator, can't even clarify her own fucking rules. Pretty sure that counts as a disqualification.

[rathercommon]

[ Kitty writes something nasty, then deletes it. ]

Sure. Sorry. If you have any more questions, DO feel free to ask me directly.

[deadtective]

[she did warn everyone that this was an unwinnable dare. sorry, Kitty.]

I've got the basis to shut anyone else down who tries to get sassy with me, so I think I'm gonna be pretty good.

[rathercommon]

And what basis is that?

[deadtective]

Already invalidated one try at it, the rest are just as fucking dead.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

So it wasn't against the rules. Thanks, Kitty.

Some people just don't like being complimented, I guess.

[rathercommon]

[ Irritably: ]

And some people like to make a grand show of not liking being complimented even when they do.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Yeah. Like people who tag a post like this knowing what's probably going to happen.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Kitty says you're wrong, Hazel. What now?

[How much further can she possibly stretch her bullshit.]

[deadtective]

Keep scrolling, she rescinded that.

[pretty damn far, it turns out]

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

All I see is her wishing you Happy Holidays. Too bad for you, I guess.

[He will not be beaten.]

[deadtective]

More like too bad for her, breaking that "don't be pissy" rule again.
