silver-tongues-blog asked: You know, if they manage to get a magic quill, henry still has the ink. He could jsut write soemthing liek "the light of the savior destroyed the darkness of the dark one leading the townspeople to peace"

rosexknight:

Truth be told they still totally have the quill. Just, ya know, half of it…

I like the headcanon that any broken magical artifact can be fixed with duct tape

silver-tongues-blog asked: Quick question, would you consider someone saying "must be hard to [do something said in a way that makes it sound trivial]" to be condescending or belittling?

jitterbugjive:

Yes, more or less that’s exactly how it comes across.

Thank you for proving a thing

Anonymous asked: Honestly you were just giving your opinion on Jitters, if anything he's manipulating you into feeling bad for daring to disagree and saying something he doesn't want to hear.

Thank you for being so kind! People have been sending me hate over that!

I live with a manipulative abuser, and the way Jitters tends to handle criticism reminds me of her and that rubbed me the wrong way. I really hate how he treats fans who disagree with him, and how he handles questions deemed stupid or not worth his time.


Please put it on the record I was trying to stay calm and collected while he replied with insults and dodging my questions. I don’t count mental illnesses as a valid excuse in my opinion, as me and many of my friends have (unmedicated for some of us!) disorders like depression, bpd, anxiety, and just plain stressful lives, and we do not resort to the tone he takes when he says it is due to his mental health.


Ah, sorry for ranting, but this is just my side of everything!

Dude, you tried twisting his words, and case in point, he explicitly stated his illnesses are not an excuse, but an explanation.

Also you were calm and collected, but you were trying to limit the context of what he was saying based on your view. Also, trying to force the “voice of the community” quote on him like it’s his job, thereby taking whatever context the original quote had out of it, didn’t do you any favors. (Nor did the guilt tripping.)

You, yourself, were attempting to be manipulative so you could win the argument. Perhaps as a consolation toward the sentiment toward your abuser?

If you’re being abused though, REPORT ABUSE TO PROPER AUTHORITIES IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY.

Why are you with an abuser?

Okay so since Jitterbugjive pretty much blocked me I’ve decided to go to their page to see what exactly happened and lo and behold I see him go full diva mode just from a few inquiries from one person.

For starters it was just them simply saying that it must be hard to do drawings of ponies for a living namely because that’s what it looks like where the income usually comes from for him, drawing ponies and doing commissions and it looks like there’s no indication that he is making any income anywhere else.

Now onto where the shit hits the fan, the questions that were apparently “manipulative” but in reality were just simple questions. Jitters says he wants to be treated normally by people and when he is done so goes into a frenzy and acts like it’s a personal attack on him and then he tries to talk down to them like it was all their fault. And he can say he doesn’t use his illnesses all he wants but that doesn’t excuse the fact that when you act like an asshole to people you’re going to be called an asshole, illness or not. 

Also when looking over his responses puella-magi-angels is correct in saying that his words were manipulative since nowhere in their asks did they try and say he should be a perfect person but instead treat his fans with some sort of respect. Fame usually comes with two factors, hard work and the fans that look at your work and when you treat some of your fans like shit then you begin to lose people, some spread rumors about you and how you’re a terrible person pulling up example a,b,c,z whatever. 

I’d point out all the areas where you’re wrong, but I don’t have enough time on my break for that.

By the way, were you the one that said demisexuality/demiromanticism doesn’t exist regardless of the existence of Google?

I can point out the flaws!

1: They were condescending towards jitters
2: they were making a lot of assumptions and putting words in his mouth
3: They were disrespectful from the start
4: They were acting like jitters owes his fans everything when his fans were the ones who chose to follow him.
5: Jitters is actally very respectful towards people who present their argument in a calm, collected and respectful manner
6: They are making accusations that are easily be disproven and ignoring evidence that doesn’t support them.

Okay fun time let me see if I can crack this baby open:

1: They weren’t being condescending, they were merely asking questions and pointing out some obvious flaws on Jitters.

2: I fail to see where they made assumptions if anything Jitters was putting words in their mouth.

3: Are you talking about their comment on saying drawing ponies must be hard work? Cause this is the internet and trying to find a tone in text is usually pretty damn hard, they could have been making an obvious statement about how hard it is for Jitters to keep up with all the drawings.

4: When you’re famous, or horse famous or whatever kind of fame, it’s usually because of both your talent and your fans, without them you would be nothing more than a name in a sea of people.

5: Then why did he throw a fit when someone was calm and willing to argue with him? He’s not mature enough to handle a simple disagreement from anyone and always has to be the last person to get the last word in like a child.

6: So why haven’t you disproven them? So far everyone seems to be attacking them for disagreeing with Jitters and sending hate mail (though that speculative on my part since there’s no concrete proof of how much hate mail they’ve been getting) right to their ask box. 

Your move.

1: this is pretty condescending. They’re belittling what jitters does.

2: Not putting words in his mouth, huh?

3: It was pretty fucking condescending. They were belittling jitters art because it’s ponies and he’s “tumblr famous”

4. If people get famous beceause of talent, it’s because they worked god damned hard for it. You aren’t born super talented, you work for it. Other people just happen to enjoy the product of that work but moreso that work is for theperson doing the work.

5. he didn’t throw a fit. He stayed surprisingly calm during the situation.

6: Proof is in this reblog. It’s up to you whether or not you actually bother to check. It’s been stated before. It will stated again. OP came to jitters and started acting like a prick and that is very apparent.
