I did enjoy Mari’s LAU fic but as a person, I’d had her muted on every account that showed up on my timeline (in the past two months, there seemed to be so many?? They just kept cropping up, I’ll never forgive Twitter for the For You page for forcing me to see them) because even just a cursory glance at her tweets showed her randomly dragging perfectly innocent people, calling them out publicly and expecting people to agree with her. Like when she deleted LAU without warning then brought it back, and one person perfectly reasonably asked if she’d deleted and reposted it on ao3 (they got excited to see it on ao3 page 1 thinking there’s a new chapter, but were confused when there wasn’t one, so they asked about that) and she mocked them on her Twitter. Like??? Not everyone follows people on Twitter, that was a perfectly reasonable question to ask on an ao3 chapter, why would you be so publicly rude to people that are asking valid questions respectfully? She did that multiple times about different people and it made me so uncomfortable, so I muted her. Even from a distance, she seemed like an awful person and she kept blaming everything on her BPD, like yes, we all have mental illnesses so we all know emotions can be overwhelming to the point of lashing out, but that doesn’t excuse chronically shitty behavior. At some point you’re going to need to accept it’s not your disorder making you shitty, you ARE shitty. She seemed like the kind of person who enjoyed keeping people terrified of her, making them walk on eggshells around her and just keep praising her constantly (without calling HER out) because they could never tell what would set her off or bring them on her bad side. I gathered all this from being exposed to her tweets for a handful of days at a time before I ended up muting her and her new accounts on sight, so I can’t understand that people didn’t see her warning signs immediately.

I agree anon. She never hid how she was in public and was worse in private. Maybe they didn’t want to see because they liked her writing or just because she was a big account but yeah i agree, the signs were all there from the start
