PSA

//Hey my friends, just an FYI: 

I received a message from a good friend earlier today that concerned me about my followers’ general perception of my approachability and availability, so let me clear the air. 

This blog is selective, meaning that I do not always follow back or agree to rp’s. That said, if I have already agreed to rp with you, that means that I will not go back on my word.  If I do not reply to your Asks, pm’s, etc within a few days of receiving it, it is NEVER never never never because I am avoiding you or don’t want to rp with you.”  Rather, it’s because of one of the following reasons: 

  1. I work full-time as a college professor.  This means a tremendous workload of lectures, assignments, papers, etc that I have to work with and grade.  Work may have become stressful, overwhelming, or just plain busy.
  2. I have a social life outside of Tumblr, which sometimes takes priority over socializing on the internet. Nothing personal! Just the way I’m built.
  3. I have several serious, chronic, debilitating health problems. I have type one diabetes (with many complications involving my eyes and kidneys), clinical depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic migraines, severe stomach problems, which greatly reduce the quality of my writing. Rather than give you crap, sometimes I wait until I am feeling a bit better, and more lucid.  There are days when my depression can cripple my ability to even get out of bed. Please forgive me, it’s not personal.  
  4. I, like everyone else, get stage fright about my writing. Particularly since Loki is a tremendously popular character, and because there are well over 2,000 of you who want me to perform to a certain standard, and expect me to. The pressure to perform well for you on this blog is honestly very high, and I am a self-perfectionist, and sometimes, I freeze.  

Again, it is NEVER because I dislike you or am avoiding you. There is just unfortunately a flawed human being behind this blog who can be very slow about maintaining contact. I promise, I do my best, and am not an rp machine. I would be if I could, trust me lol! I enjoy rping a lot. 

Please never assume that I dislike you! ❤ I promise that I would communicate with you directly if I had qualms about our rp’s. Hugs!
