Anon Text | Mingle

[On the evening of the 13th, an anon text appears on the network. And wanting to stay anon, Jaskier decides to drop the cursive font he usually uses and try to tune down the flowery language. Will he succeed, though?]

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! A day to celebrate love and romance in all their forms! A perfect opportunity to have a scrumptious evening together with your beloved, or to confess to the secret object of your heart's profound affections!

[Already trying to sound like an expert as if he hadn't learned about this only a couple of days ago, that's Jaskier for you.]

I am aware, however, that not everyone has someone in their lives, and such a holiday may make them feel a little lonely. That is why I decided to share this little game I recently learned about! Everybody deserves to be flattered every now and then, and who knows! Maybe you may end up finding a date for tomorrow~.

They call this game "Hot or Not". The rules are very simple! You post a picture (or many!) of yourself, and other participants will let you know how attractive they think you are. Some people opt for only saying yes or no, but others prefer a rating system, like a scale of one to ten, or using a certain amount of stars.

Don't be shy! Tonight the world is at your feet.


[Jaskier, you totally suck at being anonymous.]




((ooc: Yep, this is the Hot or Not meme done ICly! I pitched the idea and plurk liked it so here it's a mingle for everyone to go crazy. Characters are welcome to post pictures of themselves, or their Pokémon, or even their friends (always check with the other player first, please!). Go around and rate, threadjack, complain about the network being used for this, the sky is your limit! Staying anon is absolutely an option for those shy souls out there, but "logging in" is also welcome! Just make sure to point out what your character is chooing on your tag. It would be really appreciated if you link the images instead of embedding them so this post doesn't become too heavy to load, especially for those on mobile. Remember to warn for any nsfw pictures that you may be using! Definitely don't embed those. I'll be turning notifs off for this post for obvious reasons so any questions/issues/etc please don't hesitate to pm/pp me! Have fun~))

Claude...

Um. You don't happen to know a really rude redhead, do you?
Because if you do, I would ask that you do me a favor?

Can you tell him that I'm real and to stop insinuating that I am a cow or whatever else he has said to Armin?
I won't inundate you with the details -- I am really not trying to cause a fuss here between you and your friends. I just... am a little too embarrassed to confront him directly.

Oh boy.

If it's the redhead who put up pictures of himself in a swimsuit, I'm actually dating him. Along with some other guys. (It's all by arrangement and we're all fine with it, just for the record.) So yes, you could say I know him.

What I don't know is how it is that I keep running into people he's been rude to over the network. He's a great guy from what I know of him...but this is the second time I've heard of this sort of thing, just in this post? I'm not sure what's going on with that.

I can certainly talk to him, though. Whatever he's been up to, I know he's not genuinely trying to hurt people or make them uncomfortable, because he's a lot kinder than that. So if his teasing or whatever it is he's doing has gone too far, I think all it needs is for someone to explain that to him and he'll make it right. And not to give myself airs, but I'm good at mediating conflicts.

Can I get a little more context, though? Why does he think you're not real? Or...that you're a cow?? I also don't know who Armin is, although I don't know if that's strictly necessary information for me so long as Sylvain knows...

Oh, um.
Well it is good to know that he at least means well most of the time?


Armin is my boyfriend. And I guess this... Sylvain seems to think he is not capable of having a girlfriend? Or something of that ilk. I have seen a few of his responses to Armin's posts.
Really, I'm sure he means well and is only trying to fool around but.... Well. For the sake of nipping the argument in the bud I would prefer to make my presence known!
vrdantwind: (What could you be afraid of)

[personal profile] vrdantwind 2021-02-14 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it seems like a pretty silly thing to antagonize someone over. I'd guess from the context he's probably teasing, but there's still such a thing as taking a joke too far.

It's fine if you don't want to talk to him directly - and I don't think you should have to prove anything to him - but since this is a public post that he might see on his own anyway, I trust you wouldn't mind if I point him to our discussion here, if necessary? It'd be proof that he's definitely been going too far, if people outside the joke feel like they need to call for his friend's (or boyfriend's) assistance to put an end to it.

No, of course not. If you feel that it would help the situation, please feel free to pass the conversation along to him.

I'm sorry for involving you in this, though. If... I felt emboldened enough to take things into my own hands, I certainly would have.
