#it's (not) your fault
Text
In Nona the Ninth, we find out the 7th Resurrection Beast, one of our solar system’s murdered planets, is named Varun. Among its other cryptic nonsense Varun repeats “I am made a mockery” and “I am mocked.” Well, Varuna is a very, very old Hindu god of the sky and later of the sea, and in terms of planet names that puts him closest to our seventh planet, the primordial Greek god of the sky and rains. In other words, Varun is most likely the soul...of Uranus.
Palamedes was bemoaning all the ass jokes while living under the biggest ass joke of all.

WIP Wednesday
Tagged by @daggertongue and @rotschopf-thedrow, thank you!
Tagging @polarlys, @stormikins, @parker-of-loxley, @thoughtsofthegirlwiththecurl, if you feel so inclined!
From Mezzo:
~
The hold just below engineering is dark and deserted, just like Jack wants it, close enough to the engines to feel the thrum, far enough from the foot traffic she can spare herself the stares of Cerberus’ lackeys. After telling the prick from engineering what she would do to his prick if he made another pass at her, he hasn’t made another trip down the stairs. The yeoman who had brought down the cot had tried to give her a nice, warm, friendly welcome.
She doubts that yeoman will be coming back anytime soon.
A smile can be as deadly as a gun if you believe in it. But Jack hasn’t believed in a smile for a long time, and she always carries a gun.
The gravity well dips sharply, prickling her skin with gooseflesh. It’s not the engines. She looks down in the direction of the cargo bay, curiosity getting the better of her.
Cerberus ship, captained by a biotic wearing a Cerberus uniform who insists he isn’t Cerberus, and seems to be a shitty biotic. The way he fumbles with the gravity well like he’s trying to find a clit suggests either he’s telling the truth, or Cerberus isn’t training their biotics the way they used to.
Like the way they trained her.
At first, she’d assumed this was a ship she’d use and lose at the next port. But maybe, just maybe, she’d stumbled onto a bigger prize.
Perhaps it’s time to really size up her enemy.   
She pushes up off the cot and winds up the stairs towards the elevator. Her stomach growls, the first signs of the appetite suppression from cryo finally wearing off, but now that’s she’s got the thought of Shepard in her teeth, she’s going hunting for a different kind of meal.

worst thing about tlou is that it shows how fatherhood is often times a choice more than anything else. some fathers decide to abandon their child, not knowing or caring that they'll grow up to not trust anybody because they had to go through that disappointment when they were too young to be dealing with such stuff, or to involuntarily look for a father figure in somebody else. when i look at joel, there's nothing but respect in me because he's everything i would've wanted in a father back when i was a child.

Let's talk about Online Grooming
(TRIGGER WARNING: As the title suggests, this post talks about grooming and sexual abuse. Reader discretion *HEAVILY* advised). I'm sure most of you already know about this (Especially if you're involved in gaming), but for those who don't or are just finding out (like me lol), YandereDev- yes, *THAT* YandereDev, was recently outed as a predator, and was revealed to have groomed a minor. Now, I've seen multiple conflicting posts on this, so I won't be getting too deep into it. If you'd like more info on it, I advise checking out this video from callimara. However, one thing I do want to point out regarding this subject, is the victim continuously defending her abuser, which has unfortunately resulted in victim blaming from multiple of YanDev's supporters. And that's actually why I'm making this post in the first place. While grooming can be done both online and offline, this mostly focuses on online grooming, as well as E-CSA, which is something I don't see talked about often at all. This gets pretty triggering, so if you don't have the stomach to handle this, go back now. Lastly, YanDev defenders and 'Narc Abuse' believers do NOT fucking touch this. You WILL be blocked on sight.
What is Grooming?
Grooming is a series of abusive behaviors that are used by abusers as a means to establish a relationship with their victim to eventually exploit. While it can be used with any form of abuse, the most common is sexual abuse, particularly towards children. What is E-CSA? E-CSA is the use of technology or the internet to sexually abuse children. This can be done in many ways, and one of the most common forms of E-CSA is grooming. How grooming occurs.
Predators will usually pretend that they are a minor themselves in order to get with their victim, which can make it difficult to identify a predator. Offenders will usually try to develop a bond with their victim, typically using the promise of gifts or something else. Disturbingly, offenders might resort to threats, or manipulate their victim into accepting their behavior. Once the victim is vulnerable, the offender may make an advance onto their victim. The offender may also try to isolate their victims from their friends and family, making the abuse worse. When called out on their abuse, some offenders might also deflect their blame on the victim, making it harder for the victim to seek justice (Does "Colleen Ballinger" ring a bell to some of you?) Why might victims defend their abusers? Unfortunately, a lot of victims tend to defend their abusers as well. To make it clear: This does NOT make the abuse okay nor does it mean the victim was at fault. There are multiple reasons why abuse victims, grooming victims or otherwise, will defend their abusers, the most common reasons being: -The victim might be thinking the abuse was normal, and are in denial that they were abused. -The victim is being threatened by the abuser. -The victim might have developed a genuine bond with their abuser. This is what's known as "Stockholm Syndrome" or "Trauma Bonding". Victims with disabilities such as autism might also have trouble realizing that they were abused. The victim's environment can also have an impact. Signs of grooming: -Heavy age gaps. This one depends on how old two folks were when they met. -Sexualized behavior, especially if that person is a minor. -Isolation. -Being secretive. And so much more. What to do if you have been groomed: -If you can, cut off contact with the abuser and contact authorities. -Remind yourself that it's not your fault. -If you can afford it, consider getting a therapist to check in with your mental health. -If you have met up with the groomer and have had sexual contact with them, get a STD test just to be safe. STDs can result from sexual abuse. -Additionally, if you are someone who can get pregnant, get a pregnancy test. Additionally, if you know someone who has been groomed, tell them any of the above. My Experiences: Unfortunately, I myself was groomed online many times by different people. However, the experience I'm sharing is the one that impacted me the most. The abuse happened on Discord and at times DeviantArt and Hangouts, but mostly Discord (Sidenote: If I see you making a "Discord Mod" or "Discord kitten" joke, you'll be blocked /srs. I hate that I even have to say this). I was 10, and he was 16 at the time. The abuse first started via roleplay, which was normal at first, but then it started to become sexual. And me, being the naive fucker I was, didn't even notice it was wrong. And I thought it was okay because we were both minors. (There is also the chance he could've been lying about being 16, however I have no intentions on digging that up). People were quick to catch what was happening, however, instead of helping me, most folks got mad at me for it and I ended up banned from a server as a result (The reason for the ban was "NSFW"- even though I wasn't the only person posting such). This also resulted in a series of harassment which has negatively impacted my mental health. The harassment has since stopped, but it still hurts me to this day.
The harassment from others led to me getting closer with my abuser, which resulted in the grooming continuing for atleast two more years. It was only after someone intervened (via even more traumatic methods, but I'll spare you the details) in which the roleplay stopped. However, thanks to a friend (Who had recently been promoted to mod within the same community the abuse occured in) who eventually enlightened me on what actually happened, I was able to cut off contact with him for good. I will admit, I still feel guilty for letting this happen, though I am working on it! At this time, I don't plan on reporting my abuser to authorities, nor will I be able to since I unfortunately lost most screenshots of the abuse (That, and this individual isn't in the same US state, so it'd be kinda difficult to do so).

Eventually you will have to accept that you might not have been the problem. If you did everything you could and you still lost, then you don't have to carry that anymore. It does not mean that you are a failure. It does not mean that you are a bad person. The only thing that it means for sure is that, even with the odds stacked against you, you are the person who stood up and you are the person who tried to make a difference. Your ledger is clear, and you owe nothing.

things you don't need to apologize for
not hearing what i said
being confused
not understanding something
being depressed
needing to vent
not being okay
having feelings
not being able to hang out
not wanting to hang out
taking time for yourself
me being upset at you
apologies are important. they are about taking responsibility for what you did, showing remorse, committing to self improvement, and making amends
don't waste them on things that are out of your control

I saw a post about someone wanting to write a "Tai fell into darkness instead of Ken" AU. I wondered how, without a Dark Spore/similar? Then I realized it could work if someone twisted the Kari knife. That was never properly resolved so that knife is very twistable.
Tumblr media
Pretending it never happened is not resolving it. Literally every other character in Adventure (except Kari, whose problems were more evident in 02) had a concrete resolution to their backstory trauma. Nobody ever told Tai it's okay, that he was just a child, that he doesn't need to hold all that weight now. I feel like it mixed with his reluctance in tri. Where his desire to shield Kari became a desire to shield the world.
Tumblr media
For years, I wanted to tell this boy to let go. That he was a kid. That his parents shouldn't have left him alone with Kari, then projected all the blame onto him. That he doesn't have to shoulder all the burden alone. That IT'S NOT HIS FUCKING FAULT.
I'm sorry- this gets me emotional.

Ah, yes, Eid...
The time of year when young people who menstruate get their Eid money cut off because they "did not complete" their fast as if they can fucking help it.
Anyway, Eid mubarak, y'all.

Scrolling through the internet and I stumbled upon this. And I couldn't agree more!
Tumblr media
Now, to those saying she should take responsibility, she honestly shouldn't be held accountable, when she tried to help the Swifties who needed water, and she's still helping them. Hold the venue and its owners accountable, because they're still not allowing water in with the crowd.
And what the hell is she supposed to do about an armed robbery gone wrong?! Chase down the robber to ensure that every person who attends the concert won't get robbed?!
Y'all are really fucked in the head for thinking that.
And if you still blame her. Then you were never a true Swiftie to begin with.

// For the 'my muse is dead' meme. uwu Alternative scenario to our ongoing RP.
***
ーー Barbara did absolutely everything within her power. However, it was simply not enough. His injuries were too severe and he had lost too much blood.
Everything which was said after that, her brain did not even register as she was sent into a state of pure disbelief. All color had faded from the Traveller's complexion while she stood there frozen in place, her hands visibly shaking.
Diluc was gone. Forever.
How was she supposed to tell Kaeya about it? And Grandmaster Jean? Heck, the entirety of the Mondstadt will be in disbelief once they hear about his unfortunate passing.
Lumine could not describe what she was feeling at the moment through words. Devastation. Grief. Horror. However, the feeling which stood out most above all of those ーー was guilt.
"I-I..."
Her voice trembled as she spoke, the remaining of the sentence getting stuck in her throat.
"...Sorry...I'm...sorry..."
When she eventually broke down with a loud series of sobs, she fell to her knees on the cold floor, burying her face in both hands.
Tumblr media
"If only I was stronger...If only I had taken out that Abyss Mage soonerーー!"
Then Diluc would still be here, alive and with them.
Exactly.
It was all her fault. This was her sin. One she would have to bear, for the entirety of her life.
((KJHDHLSDF MY HEART))
