I played myself with spite.

Ran across a fandom acquaintance talking very frankly about the gifts they received where I think they didn't expect I could see them. They're rather critical.

The weird way my brain works is: I want to write them a treat because I think they'll talk frankly about it in namespace. Either I'll know they like it, or they'll disparage it and I can comfortably judge them*. Win/win!


Yes, Coal, I know this is actually a terrible idea and I should stick to writing treats for the simple reasons that I would enjoy writing them and I think my recipients will enjoy reading them.

But sometimes pettiness is powerful (and the neurotic desire to get honest feedback).



*Actually they mostly complained about the one they liked least, which was amateur but not terrible, and didn't say much about the ones they liked. So if they didn't hate it they'd probably leave me a friendly, bland comment, not say anything in the other location, and leave me wondering forever if they were being honest - because me and karma vibe like that.
