Anon hate is shitty and you shouldn’t do it of course but it’s also the funniest and least effective kind of hate

For starters the blogger can just delete and ignore it. And given tumblr’s penchant for eating asks I think it would drive some hate senders a little insane if they keep checking back in wondering if their ask got eaten.

For second the anon ask format guarantees the blogger gets the last word in every time. Even if anon sends a follow up message they will never get the last word. And tumblr for better or for worse seems to run on this currency of “whoever expressed the last opinion in a post is the one we’re supporting”

For third, this publishes the hate directly to the blogger’s own followers, i.e. the people MOST likely to take the blogger’s side. Home court advantage by design.

is it still an incorrect quotes if it's by the author? anyway this post has been living rent free in my head for three years and it's high time i exorcised it with a sketchy lil comic.

I enjoy so much the crossed lines of communication threaded throughout this book that’s basically

Costis: hey trauma victim, my king is so chill, so kind, so cool, it’s all going to be fine, he won’t whip you or anything

Kamet: oh so he’s an idiot

My goal in this fandom is to spread the idea that it’s cool to explore Zane’s inhumanness because idk if I’m just not looking for it properly but I can’t find ANYTHING exploring that he is a Nindroid to the fullest extent. Let this man have loading screen eyes while he thinks because he thinks it’s funny, explore how self sacrificial he is because he’s “expendable” since he can build a new body or body part, explore the quirks of machinery like software updates giving Zane a funny or exploitable glitch.

SO many cool things can be explored and u bet your ass I’m actively planning like 4 separate comics about it as we speak

The Mede ambassador to Kamet: “You’ve come from an audience with the king, but before that, from the prisons. Not how an honored guest is usually received. Perhaps because you are less an honored guest and more… stolen property.”

Not true! This is actually the traditional Attolian greeting extended to every truly important visitor, from the king of Sounis to the queen’s spymaster to the magus to the current king himself! Hope this helps
