>comm mods announce ILD
>someone immediately messages me
>"can you make us a dozen raffle prizes again"

>go through arduous process of putting all my tenso address info into a rakuten shop
>complete everything, get it sent off
>find out the shop does english orders w/ EMS shipping to the US almost immediately afterwards
>godfuckingdammit

>package arrives at tenso super fucking fast
>I'm down with paying an extra $5 to use a decent english interface instead of the broken-ass google translated rakuten shop
>Tenso's closed today because lol weekend
>godfuckingdammit

I just want my dress...

>make friends with a few cool people through con staffing
>Call the lady Gwen and the guy Thane (not actual names, ofc)
>Thane seems nice enough to begin with, if not a little spiteful
>We all participate in fandom twitter RP because we're gigantic pieces of shit and it seemed like fun at the time
>Thane joins up as the other half of the fandom's favorite ship with my character
>He starts getting weirdly verbally abusive, but it starts out slow so it doesn't really register with me until six or seven months in
>He's constantly talking about his fetishes because lol yaoi pairing and he's a ~real life gay man~ so nobody is allowed to give him shit for it or he goes fucking ballistic
>I finally get tired of his fuckery, tell him off for having a garbage personality and treating people how he has
>He starts screaming at anyone who will listen that I hate him because of his sexuality
>Meanwhile Gwen is just on the sidelines, refusing to take a side despite participating in all of this shit and even being on the receiving end of some of his shitfests
>Thane cuts all communication with me, shit talks me to anyone who will listen
>Gwen decides that since she personally doesn't have beef with him that she's going to keep being friends with both of us
>Even just seeing this guy's name (even associated with other people, since his actual name is pretty common) makes me physically uncomfortable because of some of the shit he said to me
>She still retweets, reblogs, shares things from his timeline to hers etc on social media where I can see it
>I like her too much to cut all ties with her too, but all the blocking programs/filters in the world still let things from him slip through to where I can see them
>mfw
