God where do I begin:

• Don't go begging constantly begging for free shit. The amount of people who've tried to use "art trades" to farm free OC art from me every month is one of the reasons why I drag my feet on it as the years go by. (Bonus points if the request is disproportionate to what I'm getting back). You'd think this is obvious but I know some mutuals whose heads this would sail right over.

• There is a very fine line between playfully rude and being a dick. If we talk less than thrice a week, don't toss an insult my way because I'll laugh it off but good chance I'll ghost for months after.

• on that note, don't spam DMs expecting an instant reply. Unless we're friends and it's important (and no, replying to unsolicited OC facts don't count), leaving "hello?" to hurry me along will piss me off

• Ask permission before trauma dumping please. And be mindful of the other person on the screen. Life is hard and I get it but some people use social media to escape and dragging them back to reality with your unsolvable problems during convos without their permission is just insensitive. Especially if that's how the majority of your conversations go.
