Description
You may remember I posted a status recently responding to one of these, trying to educate the person politely that this is not OK. (here, if anyone needs it ). Well, I got another, back-to-back, from a different account but with such similar wording, they're clearly the same person.Which means it's a sock puppet account being operated by some asshole, not just some kid or someone with learning issues.
I'd have settled on just quietly responding and/or maybe repeating the first status.
But, today, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer (it's just DCIS, so it's not a death sentence, but it's still cancer). Fortunately I also got the news my dad has completed his radiotherapy so while he's not in the clear he's at least on the mend, but obviously, finding out one parent has cancer while the other is still recovering is kind of a blow in the gut.
So after a very emotional few hours, when I go to use my phone to order a pick-me-up take-away for the family, I see these messages.
So, I responded, and included said response here, but I want to name and shame this asshole. Because, as said, I am really not in the fucking mood to be nice to assholes right now.
So, just to reiterate. Rive2005 , eliriver , and/or whatever other accounts you go by, you fucking suck.
If you have a story idea you want to see done, write it yourself or commission it. It isn't that hard, not when the ideas you have are so basic and don't seem to have any real care for characterisation (Like seriously, even by a AU-where-wedgies-are-liable-to-happen, these 'ideas' are out of character), so it shouldn't hard to pump out something shit with these names on them.
And if you're going to look to others for your ideas, read the fucking room first to figure out whether they're actually likely to do it.
I've spoken many times about not liking the DC/CW shows. I expressed angst about Stargirl moving to CW because of their quality. I write explicitly the comic versions because I dislike those shows so much I am pissed off that their version of these characters are now the 'mainstream' version.
It bothers me to no end that Zoom is now popularly pictured as an edgelord Venom rip-off who's 'I want to be the only fastest man alive' bullshit has now taken over and replaced the canon characterisation in the comics (fuck you Josh Williamson for that garbage decision, by the way).
It bothers me that 'Barry Allen' is now the name everyone knows as the Flash, because that show has done such a terrible job respecting the legacy aspect of the character. And it bothers me that I'm probably going to have to apologise to someone in the comments for upsetting them with how angry I am at that show and his character, but you just opened the floodgates on the worst day to open them.

I hope things go well for you. I've never had that sort of scare. I hope soon things turn around
