bunnybeatdown-blog asked: Do you or will you attend any Denver/Colorado cons? I would love the chance to meet you and have a picture taken with you
I never have before, what conventions are out that way? I’m always willing to look into new cons and see if we can make it there :)
misty-rioso asked: Hey friend got to let you know you are fab as always and fuck the haters.
Hey you! Thank you so much! *big hugs* We’ll have to share real hugs come Anime Milwaukee <3
faereginacosplay asked: Girl, you are a work of art; I love seeing your updates on my facebook. Keep rocking!
Thank you so much! And I got your other message, too, and yes, love in the askbox is always welcome :)
ccshuy-deactivated20220425 asked: You know what I don't understand? Why that anon hater tried to emphasize that you were fat and tried to convince you that you were dirty because of it and that they were in the right. Why do so many people think fat=dirty? You are pretty and sweet.
That’s the other assumption I forgot to mention! The fat = dirty stereotype. I guess the assumption is that a fat person is so lazy that there’s no way they’d get up and shower? But I dunno… I think I love Bath and Body Works a little too much to let that happen…
rahiros-deactivated20181204 asked: hi Bri! Love the cosplays! The anons you've been getting have been really harsh. Have you ever considered using that one post going around here that let's you see who the anons are? I dunno about you, but watching them actually have to answer for the hate they post would be HILARIOUS.
Someone sent me the link to that earlier! I might look into it, I’m not sure. I’ve seen some amazing posts of people confronting others on their hate, not because of that site but just in general, it usually leads to what we already know is true: no one wants to answer to the hate they spew, especially when they have to deal with what it does to people off of anonymous.
I’ll never forget a post I saw, some girl was getting anon hate in the “just go and die” variety. She stopped checking her Tumblr for a bit, and when she came back she saw messages like, “… you didn’t actually do it, did you? Oh god I hope you didn’t actually kill yourself. I’m sorry! I don’t want a person’s death on my hands, omg! You’re actually pretty cool, I don’t know why I did that!” Just goes to show who these people really are.
warmcookiesandicecream-deactiva asked: I think you're wonderful :) I admire you 110%! you are brave and strong, as well as talented and beautiful, please don't forget it in the mist of all these shitty anons! Much love
I’m never gonna forget, trust me :) You all are one of the biggest reasons why I can keep going <3 <3 <3
pegagamercosplay-deactivated201 asked: I like how you handle Anon hate. Most people would try and prove the anon wrong or get REALLY angry when there ins't a need to be. Nice :3 Just remember; Hating Anon are just people who wanna complain to someone or insult someone to avoid getting called out. That's how I see them anyway.
You know, honestly, it’s probably because I’ve heard this kind of talk before, to my face. I come from a time before the internet and anonymous hate, back when people actually had to call you a fat pig to your face if they wanted to talk shit about you. So when I get comments like that now my brain is like, “… still? Really?” Though I suppose hate is eternal, which means I don’t want to spend my life letting it bring me down. I’d rather enjoy my life and, maybe, get others to want to do the same :) I’d rather focus on the overflowing amount of positivity that’s going on.
zetragild asked: I think my favourite part of watching you through this journey of anon hate is seeing that beacon of light inside of you get stronger every time.You shouldn't be getting any hate, and it's horrible what people say to you. but despite that you become more positive and stronger each and every time, on top of it you and the people around you are inspiring that same spark of light within themselves. In the end the anons are losing, because your light just keeps reaching more people every day.
That’s always the best part, to me, when someone is like, “I can do this, too. I didn’t think I could, but I can.” If me dealing with hate means someone feels like they’re worth it now, because they see the support that’s out there, then mission accomplished :)
seraphphoenix asked: Holy shit that anon was a total twat. "Let me hide behind anon and call you a fat baby repeatedly." REALLY? They clearly lead a boring life if they sit around harassing you. Ive met you and you are wonderful. Come off anon, shitstain. ♡♡♡
I still don’t know how a fat baby is an insult, babies are cute! If it was a crack based on intelligence, then… again, where’s the insult? Babies are learning, growing, and developing all the time. But we as people are, too. We’re learning new things, improving our skills, I mean babies aren’t stupid and they’re cute, so…
josephineoceane-deactivated2018 asked: You're probably one of the sweetest, funniest, intelligent, driven, people that I know. I'm so so proud to have you as a friend. You handle all the crappy comments and anon hate with more grace and class than I ever could. And I can't wait to be all Disney Princess fabulous with you at Momocon!! :)
I am so excited for Momocon! A new con, in a new city, and the chance to meet so many amazing people. When I saw Momocon on your list I actually cheered at my computer! We are going to do all of the fun Disney cosplay together! I’m going to be working my butt off that month because of Anime Central and Colossalcon being right after Momocon, but I’m so excited for all of it. I know it’ll be amazing :)
