♋ A friendly w9rd 9f warning

#pri9rities #friendly advice #who even reads this? #sp6iler: muns never listen #trigger warnings




It has c9me t9 my attenti9n recently, that y9u're c9nsidering the p9ssi6ility 9f sending me 9ff t9 9ne 9f these games y9u feel the need t9 play in. I'll take the time n9w t9 menti9n 6ut a few 9f the triggers 69th in the message 6ehind this mem9 and als9 the triggers I have f9und while glancing 9ver said games y9u're interested in.
Triggers include p9ssi6le an9rexic slurs, 69dy type slurs, c9nflicting views 9f a s9cial and sexual nature, kink shaming, neglecti9n c9nsumpti9n 9f time and pri9rities, f9rced p9wer limitati9n, kidnapping/tr9llnapping *which ever y9u feel is m9re p9litically c9rrect t9 use* p9ssi6le c9mpuls9ry integrati9n o9 species, als9 timeline sp9ilers. M9re triggers may 6e included as I g9 al9ng.
Firstly mun, it seems as th9ugh y9u have n9 c9ncept 9f the c9mm9n phrase 'spreading y9urself thin' this isn't me suggesting y9u are 6y all means underweight 9r at risk 9f 6eing s9, if that was the case 6eing, I w9uld 6ring up the t9pic with a far m9re sensitive delivery and appr9ach. As it is, my th9ughts still stand t9 h9ld s9me reas9n f9r c9ncern. A quick tally 9f the muses y9u currently have given a h9me t9, adds up t9 an impressive figure 9f eight. Figure 9f eight 6eing an actual numeric fact9r and n9t referring t9 a w9man 9f v9luptu9us curvitude in size and shape. My w9rry is that y9u will n9t 6e a6le t9 give a fair am9unt 9f attenti9n t9 each and every muse y9u play, theref9re s9me muses may feel neglected, which I can n9t stress en9ugh h9w unaccepta6le that is.
C9ntinuing my p9int 9f things that are n9t accepra6le, d9 y9u h9nestly think it is fair t9 apply f9r a game where half 9f the cast, if n9t m9re *I will have t9 l99k at the exact percentage* are fr9m a p9int in can9n as well as their timeline, that sending myself in w9uld 6e creating p9ssi6le HUGE SP9ILERS. My capitals there are t9 emphasise my disdain with this wh9le idea.
T9 keep this sh9rt I'll r9und up with my 6asic c9ncerns and making clear t9 y9u what I w9n't 6e willing t9 partake in; Any and all f9rced sexual c9ntact, 4th walling and time skip play, fighting and c9nflic against my 9wn will 9r 6eing sent t9 a game where I will be s9rely limited and 9r changed.
I 6elieve I have made myself clear, h9wever if y9u're struggling with any fact9rs 9f this mem9, I c9uld 6e c9nvinced t9 write the cliff n9tes.

Kanny, muns are less likely to+ pay attentio+n to+ what yo+u say than mo+st anyo+ne else.
Which is saying so+mething.

[the_insuffera6le]

What is that supp9se t9 mean? it d9esn't make the slightest 6it 9f sense. Why w9uld a mun decide t9 give a muse freed9m 9f speech, which might I add, they sh9uld already have, if they are 9nly g9ing t9 ign9re said muse? N9w I'm n9t trying t9 6e 9ffencive 9r suggest that muns as a c9llective are in any way inc9mpetent, but if they aren't g9ing t9 listen t9 their 9wn muse d9es this mean that we as muses are f9r simple entertainment?

#mun shaming #c9ntr9versial t9pic

[liberatrix]

Uh, yes?
That's exactly what we're fo+r.

[the_insuffera6le]

N9 it is n9t. Are y9u actually 9kay with this? With being used f9r entertainment purp9ses 6ecause I'm pers9nally triggered 6y the mere idea 9f it!
9ur players my 6e giving us a means and f9rm 9f life we 9therwise may never have experienced, 6ut that d9esn't mean we sh9uld 9nly 6e used t9 entertain them, n9r sh9uld we put up with it as a s9cial gr9up. It is highly 9ffensive, discriminative and perverse t9 treat us in such a manner. We are n9t 96jects, check y9ur privilege, kn9w y9ur rights.

#6ey9nd triggered

[liberatrix]

I agree with what yo+u're saying and yet I still want to+ disagree so+lely based o+n ho+w yo+u presented it.

[the_insuffera6le]

The p9int is that y9u 6elive *my* p9int t9 6e valid. The sheer fact that y9u wish t9 disagree is frankly a fact9r 9f y9ur pers9nality. which is n9t my place t9 c9mment 9n, that w9uld 6e rude n9t t9 menti9n disrespectful and c9uld surface many a underlying c9mplex 9r trigger.
If y9u were t9 phrase it in any 9ther way and please 6e careful n9t t9 6e insensitive 9f any9nes viewsm h9w w9uld y9u have phrased it?

#why y9u d9 this t9 me

[liberatrix]

We are peo+ple with feelings and sho+uld be treated as such.

No+te ho+w my explanatio+n did no+t ino+lve criticizing the peo+ple I am co+ncerned abo+ut.

#because yo+u're an ass

[the_insuffera6le]

N9ted. H9ever with9ut 6ringing this t9 c9nflic as that w9uld 6e s9mething I w9uld 6e unc9mf9rta6le with and refuse t9 get int9 with y9urself, y9u seemed t9 miss the fact that I never *actually* stated anything a69ut y9ur pers9nality in a criticizing way. I'm n9t saying y9u're blind 9r cann9t read as that c9uld 6e classed as a disa6ility slur. The fact that y9u t99k my w9rds as criticism suggests that y9ur pers9nality is s9mething y9u feel str9ngly a69ut, as y9u sh9uld, and s9 I'm s9rry that I might have triggered y9u in anyway. Perhaps take this c9nversati9n as c9nstructive?


#d9n't 6e rude

[liberatrix]

Yo+u did no+t trigger me.
Yo+u anno+yed me. That's all, Kanny.

#no+ yo+u

[the_insuffera6le]

Apparently that is the exact reacti9n my player is l99ing f9r. Yet an9ther reas9n as t9 why all9wing 9urselves t9 6e manipula6ed and pushed ar9und 6y 9ur muns is s9mething s9me9ne needs t9 stand up against in the name 9f s9cial justice.

#shut up #y9ur n9t my real m9m

[liberatrix]

I...do+n't think it'd be so+cial justice?
We'd be co+nvincing them to+ no+t be manipulative jerks.

#no+ dinner fo+r yo+u yo+ung man

[the_insuffera6le]

Which as a s9ciety w9uld 6e seen as making a stand in the name 9f justice. I'm a little unc9mf9rta6le in agreeing with saying we w9uld 6e c9nvincing them 9f anything, where as I feel it isn't p9litically c9rrect for a player t9 manipulate their muse, it b9rderlines 9n mun shaming t9 suggest we c9nvince them 0f anything. Seeing an err9r in their ways is s9mething they w9uld need t9 realize 6y themselves.

#d9nt make me rebel #tucking sweater int9 tr9users

[consider8]

I should pro8a8ly 8e annoyed, 8ut that exposition was actually helpful in succinctly stating what your needs and desires are to your player. To that end, it was actually not completely...

...insuffera8le.

[the_insuffera6le]

Y9u sh9uld indeed 6e ann9yed, th9ugh I'm n9 stating that I w9uld prefer f9r y9u t9 be ann9yed, but this is s9mething we as muses sh9uld 6e aware 9f. We have rights, we are 9verfl9wing with rights and if its helpful in anyway at all, I am willing t9 express my feelings and needs if it helps my mun with his ch9ice of game.

#ignoring that insuffera6le c9mment 9ut 9f g99d will

[consider8]

Do you really think it's going to work, though? There are a lot of other people with similar grievances to their mundanes.

[the_insuffera6le]

Clearly s9mething sh9uld 6e d8ne and s9me9ne sh9uld d9 s9mething a69ut it. I'm n9t saying that s9me9ne sh9uld 6e me, that w9uld self righte9us and n9t my place t9 say. H9wever there is just s9mething s9 s9cially wr9ng a69ut this wh9le *player* set up in the first place. If pe9ple g9t t9gether as a c9lective maybe they c9uld make their v9ice 6e heard?

#y9u say y9u want a rev9luti9n

[crab_dad]

[Who is this and why does he look and smell similar to Karkat? Oh, and he's looking for a home too? Hmm...]

[Don't mind as a giant bipedal crab investigates you, Kankri.]

[the_insuffera6le]

What are y9u d9ing? Are y9u aware at all that in 6y standing s9 verry cl9se t9 me, y9u're invading my pers9nal space and in turn are 6eing seri9usly inc9nsiderate?
With9ut a f9rmal 9r even casual intr9ducti9n y9ur 6ehavi9ur c9uld 6e seem t9 6e triggering as it is c9ming acr9ss as creepy.


#creepy lusus is creepy #please d9nt eat me

[crab_dad]

[Oh, of course, where are his manners? Allow him to introduce himself in the most eloquent way possible:]

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

[the_insuffera6le]

A little 9n the l9ud side, 6ut its nice, n9t t9 menti9n p9lite 9f y9u t9 finally intr9duce y9urself. Where as I will refrain fr9m using quite such l9ud v9lume, I accept y9ur greeting and 9ffer 9ne 9f my 9wn.
I sh9uld h9pe t9 assume, that, granted this is 9ur first meeting y9u will 6e just as keen as I, t9 uph9ld s9cial graces, remain p9lite and c9nsiderate with9ut the need t9 eat 9ne an9ther, this rule m8stly applies t9 y9u, h9wever I d9n't wish t9 6e seen as c9ming acr9ss in any way, as stere9typing 9r judgemental 6ut suffice t9 say it w9uld 6e ungraci9us sh9uld there 6e any 6l99d shed. N9t t9 menti9n distur6ing.

#W9w that's l9ud

[crab_dad]

[He lets out a high warble followed by some rapid clacking of his pincers. Of course he's not going to eat you, you smell like his little charge. And speaking of which...]

[He takes a step forward and lets out a curious-sounding chirp, before nudging at your torso with his snout. Sniff, sniff...]

[the_insuffera6le]

Why are y9u t9uching me?Physical c9ntact was merely a c9nditi9n 9f s9cial interacti9n I was yet t9 t9uch up9! Please, refrain fr9m nudging me like s9!
. . .
Perhaps I am missing s9mething here? Which I find hard t9 6elive. S9 then may6e perhaps its a case 9f c9nfused identity? Y9u appear t9 6e a lusus 9f s9me degree and in fact I have c9me t9 the c9nclusi9n that in 6eing s9, y9u have ch9sen myself as a tr9ll y9u feel y9u c9nnect with? St9p me iff I'm wr9ng, th9ugh I d9u6t I am.
F9ll9wing this th9ught pr9cess, I 6elive that a gentle *pap* 9f rec9gniti9n and understanding sh9uld c9nfirm such a the9ry. Hencef9rth I shall c9mmence, yet with little affecti9n s9 t9 av9id any p9ssi6le.

#pap pap

[crab_dad]

[Wow, this little one talks a lot. Not as angrily as Karkat, but still talks a lot.]

[Oh! Yay, paps! He coos and nudges the hand that is papping him, clearly enjoying the gesture.]

[the_insuffera6le]

Y9u enj9y my small gesture? That is g99d t9 kn9w! I will make a n9te 9f this and the circumstances surr9unding 9ur meeting s9 that future enc9unters 6etween myself and y9u will have a set 9rder 9f specific rules and pr9t9c9l f9r which we sh9uld f9ll9w.
Y9u're awfully f9nd 9f nudging, aren't y9u? I supp9se it isn't s9 terri6le t9 put up with, h9wever I feel that due t9 y9urself 6eing 9f a guardian r9le, an excepti9n shall 6e all9wed that permits us t9 engage such an activity s9 l9ng as it remains light heartedly friv9l9us.

#Y9u ain't s9 6ad

[crab_dad]

[You're just so funny, little red one! He lets out another warble and picks you up by the scruff of your turtleneck, bringing you up to his level.]

[the_insuffera6le]

[Kankri is just... He's just dangling there, from the scruff of his turtleneck... Arms folded and that constant slightly irked expression on his face. Maybe a little red tinted in the cheeks. Maybe.]

...Y9u d9 realize, d9 y9u n9t, h9w very triggering this wh9le 9rdeal is f9r me? Inflicting rand9m p9siti9ns, situati9ns and predicaments t9 deal with at a m9ments n9tice...

#my what big eyes y9u have

[crab_dad]

[Hey, he's had to deal with Karkat before, he's used to tuning things out. He continues to examine Kankri, sniffing at him and holding him at various angles. At one point he prods Kankri's side with his free pincer.]

[Yep, he definitely reminds Crabdad of Karkat. He warbles so.]

[the_insuffera6le]

[Kankri simply held his ground. Though he must have looked really silly, dangling there upside down with his arms crossed over his chest and all?

He was doing a good job of remaining silent too! He felt it was better not to say anything at all until the Lusus was done with its investigations... How ever long that was going to take.]

[crab_dad]

[After a moment Crabdad places Kankri back down on the ground, warbling contently. He tousles Kankri's hair with his pincer.]

[the_insuffera6le]

Y9u're actually n9t s9 6ad y9urself.

[Is that a small smile? Is Kankri actually smiling?! It would have been nice to have this Crabdad of his own...]

[crab_dad]

[Crabdad screes at Kankri, clearly impressed. You might even get along with his little Karkat! Weren't you looking for a game? Karkat was in one of those!]

[the_insuffera6le]

That n0ise is still rather l9ud f9r my liking, 6ut I'm n9t c9mplaining.

[He is! He really is looking (complaining with everything his mun picks) but looking all the same!]

[crab_dad]

Skree! *clack clack!*

[Then you should try Karkat's home! He was just complaining about how a bunch of his friends had left, maybe it would be fun for you! Oh, but there was that thing about nobody new being accepted during the holidays, but they were supposed to be reopening after 12th perigee's eve.]

[the_insuffera6le]

[Oh yes, Kankri's mundane knows someone else who has a home there, so Kankir will be giving it some serious consideration.]

Yes yes y9ur excited, I can see that.

[have the little troll reaching up and petting the Lusus on its snout.]

[crab_dad]

[Oh! That's good to hear! He wonders if it's one of Karkat's friends.]

[The Lusus lets out a high warble and nudges Kankri's hand with his snout. Yay, pets~]
