Some thoughts on blocking and drama
12 years ago
General
Just something I wanted to say, and this could help with some past or present problems.
About blocking. It may feel like a good way to escape a problem, but in reality, it is like trying to build a wall around you and trying to escape it. Sometimes you can hide from the problem or you can face it head on and come to a conclusion. Hiding never solves anything, unless you are playing "Hide n' Seek". Try tearing down the wall and see if you can somehow reach a common ground with the person, but if they turn out to be "something else", it should be a matter for the administration to take care of. Being a member for almost 7 years now, I do feel blocking has its Pros and Cons, but I prefer to find a way to face a problem than hide from it.
Secondly, I'd like to talk about Drama. I can handle Drama, since I once spread it myself, but you have to manage the type of level it is at. Drama is a way some friendships can get ruined, especially if you act childish towards the person who hurt you. The good type of drama is small, like when you have trouble finding something or making a purchase that may drastically affect your budget. The bad kind of drama is like a obsession, sort of like stalking or gathering information about someone everywhere. It is unhealthy to do the bad kind, because it is a sort of vibe that can result in distrust, repelling, or even having someone fight for that person, usually a troll or bodyguard.
When it comes to character drama, you feel like you want to get close to the character, or even the artist, but even a process like that takes time. If you jump on it too quickly, you could be hurting the original artist's perspective of their character and even force it to do something it doesn't normally do. You never jump into a intimate situation too quickly, you have to start from the bottom and work up, like friendship to relationship and into intimacy (if allowed to do so). It should be a good idea to comment something ending with ",if allowed", because you don't want to force a decision on a pic of a character, especially if the creator is close to their creation.
If anyone has any questions about why I made this, it is because I have faced, or even caused, problems like these and are wishing to solve them. These could also help people like you out there to try and respect one another.
Anyways, I am going to bed because I am tired, so goodnight everybody.

Truly, the person who built the wall continues to hide, rather than face. While the blocked person has the complete freedom to travel the outside world.
