TW: Allusions to SA, CSA, and physical abuse

Something that's been really driving me nuts is the reading of Karlach as a metaphor for healing from years and years of a physically and s*xually abuse, notably abuse that occurred during formative years.

- Too hot to touch + Practically throwing herself at you if youre slightly good: As a survivor myself the impossible to touch just screams how much touch feels like it will legitimately burn after getting out of a situation. The years of *desperately* wanting loving touch but something always telling me it's wrong, that it will hurt, that somehow I'll hurt them even.

And combined with the moments where you feel you can get touch and you jump on it like a poor child in a marshmallow test. It's normal to want touch, love, affection, intimacy. But how often do we jump into it without a single thought prior when traumatized, because of that near desperate want. In my second playthrough romancing Shart, my sweet angry baby did her little "hey soldier, you awake?" scene second night of being in my camp, with the only companion approval level lower than hers being Lae'zel. Legit just be nice to her, and get the first upgrade for her heart, and she wants more. And lawd I relate.

- Dammon's upgrades: To me these are early understanding in healing. Early jumps in therapy. Finally finding a medication that works. You feel so elated, ecstatic, alive! You can be fixed! You can be okay! You get told by professionals that C-PTSD, BPD, dissociation, whatever. It never truly goes away. Just managed. But you don't care, you don't really integrate that notion because holy fuck for the first time in years, ever even, you can see a light of fucking goodness at the end of the tunnel.

*MAJOR SPOILERS*

- Getting to Act 3, the "it doesn't go away" catches up and she starts burning hot: Just about everyone I know who's gone through/going through this intense of healing all have a point where we relapse in some way. The dissociation gets bad again. Mood swings get volatile again. SH tendencies creep back in. The reality sets in that you can't distract from things with how good things can be when you're okay. It's *always* there. You're stuck with what happened forever.

- Total meltdown after killed Gortash: This monologue GUTTED me. I hid and the washroom and SOBBED after it. I have had similar internal meltdowns so many times. No matter what happens to my abuser. Despite the fact that I can still go to court and send him to prison if I wanted. It won't change that what was done to you has been done. When it sets in that everyone around you who loves you will get to have a normal life and you *never* will. You can put in as much work, as much effort, as much heart as possible to try to fucking heal, only to realize that some things will never go away. Some wounds simply will not heal. And you get angry. So so angry. And then you collapse. It isn't fair. It's not. Fair.

The writers at Larian did SUCH a good job capturing the sheer degree of pain in her lines. Samantha Béart's performance deserves all the awards and accolades because capturing that nuanced raw emotion is so so hard. I so desperately wish we could fix Karlach properly, let her stay in Faerun. But. Maybe her good ending being returning to Avernus with you is truly her realistic good ending. I won't ever fully be free of what happened to me as a child. Its a naive hope that ill ever be completely free of it. But I know I don't have to go it alone. My husband, my friends, those I've chosen are with me through it. Karlach can't change her past, but with Tav, Wyll. She doesn't have to go it alone.

💉this blog will never post irl sh or gore. ill never post my calories untagged even if i relapse into active anorexia. i might talk about cm measurements and my weight. my vents might get graphic. people who try to gatekeep the experience of bodyshaming or being "allowed" to be in the bodiposi community for any reason should stay away from me and see a psychiatrist.

💉ill reblog and maybe post artistic depictions of self harm, abuse, unhealthy dynamics, drug use, suicide, and violence, they will be trigger tagged as often as i can remember to tag them

💉i dont call myself landmine kei outside tumblr/where id be showing off my appearance even though i wear yamikawa styles and have problems with bpd and self harm because that term has always been about ILLNESS and BEHAVIORS, so posting myself to those tags would contribute to the whole jirai = fashion thing. im not going to use it in ways that would get me attention/likes for my appearance bc its not mine to "reclaim" (not like thats whats happening in japan either lol). i will sometimes tag jirai tags for non-fashion for reach and to find more mine/pien kei girls. i call myself pien kei because "pien" as a term originates with menhera girls and the feeling and the "pein kei archetype) are super relatable. i call myself menhera because i identify with the original meaning and like the art- im not using it derogatorily (but that meaning fits me too). again idc what u call urself as long as u dont push the label on others or lie about/try to change what it means!

💉ill post erokawa, SA survivor vents, nsft vents, and some fucked up fantasies but nothing irl. THESE WILL ALWAYS BE TAGGED. none of my shit is meant to condone getting worse, but if you think talking about getting worse or self destruction or artistic expression is anti-recovery thats on u boo

I love Taylor to death but what I saw yesterday made my hair stand on end. Taylor having been a victim of sexual assault was sitting in an enclosed area with a predator. Jackson Mahomes was arrested and charged with sexual battery of a female owner of a restaurant. This was a huge story and the case still pending. I didn't like this whole setup from the beginning. Now that everyone's seen the game I want Taylor out of this whole deal. She and Mr. Kelce don't need any promo whatsoever. Her safety, career, and her life is more important. I'm upset and can't speak anymore. Most of us in this group didn't want to see Blondie with TK. I can't support her any longer if she doesn't stop playing these games. It's getting dangerous.

Anon, I am so sorry. I see you and everyone else who finds Taylor’s proximity to this situation and the NFL’s toxic culture baffling and disheartening as she is a SA survivor and general supporter of women’s rights. For whatever reason it upsets you, I see and affirm you.

(FWIW, I have also always been uncomfortable with her affinity for the late Kobe Bryant.)

By toxic culture, I mean the NFL’s long history of not giving a sh*t about SA and DV committed by its players, prospects, employees, and former players.

I love sports. And I stopped watching NFL football 6 or 7 years ago (after a life of loving the 49ers) because I could not, in good conscience, support a league that:

- ostracized Colin Kapernick. That whole situation was not dissimilar to the 🐍 summer/fall of 2016 except more public and damaging and involved more punching down.

- is run by billionaire white owners that view players (predominantly players of colour) and their bodies disposable. Like how aristocratic generals used to view common soldiers as cannon or machine-gun fodder in the wars of the late 19th and early 20th century. The initial denial then minimizing of concussion-related disabilities is particularly heinous.

- has a pervasive culture of misogyny and toxic masculinity which manifests in ways like how they cover up DV.

And like - I own that I am a privileged white woman who can insulate myself from this.

But Blondie is acting like a clueless, privileged white woman who is helping white wash (yep. I said it. It’s white supremacist at its core) this wildly problematic league and lending her fame and general good will toward this disgrace of an organization.

I haaaaaaaate it. The MH situation was terrible, but she still went out 2-3 times a week and performed and promoted SNTV. Why so little Cruel Summer or 1989TV promotion? Why is she letting this dominate everything? It is baffling.

Anyway - I see you and I am sorry. If you, like me, need to back away a bit for your own peace of mind, do what is best for you. Take care of you. That goes for all of you, besties.

Saying this once and on this blog because the topic is literally the most relevant here—

If you think even for a SECOND that censorship of AO3 won’t include openly queer spaces, you’re so fucking wrong it hurts.

Does nobody remember the Purges of the early-to-late 2000’s? Does nobody remember the FanFiction.net Purge? The Tumblr Porn Ban? Fanfic history is about to repeat itself if we don’t step up to try and stop it.

Censorship of any kind will not end with just the issue that it claims to fix. It will encompass everything in the name of “dear heavens, won’t someone please think of the children!”

That’s not to say I don’t think removing any content is bad - there are circumstances that allow for content removal simply because it’s too gross or too disturbing for the general public’s eye. But you need to understand that they will not stop once it’s gone.

There are already ways to report the nasty shit and get it taken off the site. There are already ways you can avoid it if you feel very strongly about it or if it’s a triggering subject. As an sa and sh survivor myself there are certain topics that I always have filtered just for my own mental health. And guess what? It works. I’ve never come across something poorly tagged that triggers relapses. AO3’s tagging system works.

It won’t just be the problematic elements such as cp or graphic guro. It will spread to queer fic, stories of trans discovery, even of someone just living their life in a fur suit because they find enjoyment out of it! Your niches will not be safe! Nobody will be!

Maybe I’m just jaded and upset because I was old enough to remember - and experience - the bans. I remember how devastating it was to self-expressive works of art, to people just writing smut because they want to.

Do you honestly want the site you love to be so censored the fucking CCP looks like a paradigm of freedom of expression? Do you honestly not care that hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people’s work, majorly non-problematic, will be affected?

If you’re about to bemoan the fact that this sounds super melodramatic and that I’m ‘overreacting’, then fine. Good for you. But the issue can not be overstated. We are heading in a truly dark direction of fandom history that unfortunately holds echoes of what we’ve gone through before. And the fact that some are defending TG’s desires? Even knowing she’s a bad faith actor who doesn’t give a shit about fandom culture? Makes me want to throw up.

Anybody about to accuse me of being a pedophile just because I don’t support breaking something that’s already designed - and proven - to work for those who want to use it is very welcome to just block me. I am not a pedophile for wanting a (legally sound) smut-safe space. I’ve seen y’all throwing that around like a frisbee at a picnic, and let me just say as an actual abuse survivor I think you’re full of shit and you need to get off the internet.

Do the right thing. Do what you can to stop Tiffany G from being elected.

Rant over. I’m fucking exhausted.

So I wanna request some things, but I wanted to know what the rules are, what you don’t like to do, what’s allowed, etc.

Hi!

So generally I just go by what is unacceptable to me I won’t respond to but here’s general guidance.

TW for harmful contents

I will write for

> BDSM scenarios

> NSFW scenarios with characters of and over the age of 18

> MLM, FLF, Enby, FTM/MTF, etc. Just ask! ^^

> Furries.

> I will write fluff/comfort scenarios for readers/OCs with past experinces in abuse, SH, SA, etc. These will be given content warnings.

I will not write for

> Underage characters for NSFW or suggestive scenario.

> R*pe, SA, CNC. I know CNC is not necessarily in the same category but I won’t post anything that is obviously triggering to survivors.

> Certain kinks such asfart fetish, feet, scat, watersports, vomit, etc., etc. I don’t find these appealing to write for myself, so I won’t write them for others.

> Abusive relationships with characters and readers/OCs.

This is just general off the top of my head, so please ask if you’re confused about anything.

Rewriting Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

It has come to my attention that there's been a spin-off series of Pretty Little Liars called Original Sin. Apparently it takes place in the same universe as the original show but not in the same town and not with the same A. Based on several reviews I've seen for the new show on YouTube and TikTok, it sounds like the show overall has mixed reviews with most die-hard PLL fans disappointed. So, I believe a re-write is in order!

⚠️TW: suicide, Sexual Assault, Drug abuse, Bullying

For context, I have not actually watched the show yet, so this is entirely based off of recap/review videos I've seen on Youtube. It sounds like Emogen is the main protagonist, and befriends the other liars in a Breakfast Club-esque detention moment. The liars have secrets and tea (one just got back from juvie, the main character was impregnated by her SA, another is a ballerina with scoliosis and tries to hide her condition for the sake of acceptance and competition, etc.) but it sounds like the primary motive for A is to enact revenge on the liars' moms because the moms let a girl [unalive] herself at a party/dance when she asked them for help. The main character Imogene's mom does the same thing in the first episode of the show after receiving an invite to a party that essentially is meant to recreate the night that the girl died on; I guess it's insinuated that the guilt from this night drove Imogene's mom to end her life (I'm trying to be tactful without using the exact verbiage because, as a SH and depression survivor myself, I know sometimes seeing the exact word can be triggering.) In this re-write universe, we'll have it follow the plot and lore of my original PLL re-write, so if you haven't read that yet GO READ THAT ONE FIRST! Anyways, it sounds like the first half of the pilot was promising, but then things fell apart from there. So, with the context in mind, let's rewrite PLL: Original Sin!

School starts and Emogen is back for the first time since the initial SA investigation from the party last spring break, roughly 6 months pregnant now. She cusses out a kid who pokes fun at her pregnancy in front of the entire class which lands her a cold seat in detention. Imogene's best friend sticks up for her, which also lands her in detention. There Emogen and her bestie meet the other liars, and after a few jokes and a mutual hatred for Karen Beasely, they sorta become friends. Then, after realizing that Karen is truly the most foul, Emogen proposes they all kill her. Initially it's taken as a dark joke, but then they discuss the hypothetical plan in more detail when one of the liars turns out to be a true-crime fanatic. After detention they dismiss the conversation, not actually planning to kill Karen but thankful to have made new friends with a mutual enemy.

The next day, Karen is killed - exactly as Emogen and the liars jokingly planned! How the hell did that happen?! The liars conduct in-house interrogations, too new of friends to be certain they can trust each other. They all follow leads to try to figure who may have killed Karen, and coincidentally they all start receiving personalized messages from A. The liars take their own leads given to them by A and meet each other per A's orchestration. A taunts them, then shows them another dead body - the school janitor. A now essentially orders the girls to cover up for A, or they'll pin the murders on them and share all of the liars' secrets (still kinda working on the red-herring motive).

But who the hell is A, and why target them? Well, ladies and gentlemen, A is for Allison, isn't it? So she has to be at least somewhat involved. When Allison ran away as Vivian Darkbloom, she didn't go far; the town Emogen and friends reside in is a hop skip and ugly little secret away. Here Allison rules the high school as queen bee, malicious and kniving as ever, under the name Vivian Darkbloom.

Vivian Darkbloom bullied and blackmailed everyone in her new town, and even recruited a group of friends to replicate her original clique back in Rosewood; a quirky artsy girl like Aria, a low-self esteem girl like Hanna - though ridiculed more for her thinness than bigness (because unfortunately haters body-shame all body types, so we ain't gonna leave our slim baddies to feel unrepresented), a smarty-pants like Spencer, and a pretty girl to love - and manipulate - like Emily.

Vivian couldn't leave the A-game alone; she missed the power and the games, she needed to feel control again. The replacement for Emily grows very close to Allison/Vivian. Her name is Bethany Young.

✨Now I know what you're thinking "CJ WHAT THE FUCK?!' But hear me out okay, this all gets hella confusing unless you read my original post about the Pretty Little Liars rewrite, so again READ THE ORIGINAL POST. And just stick w me bc shit's about to go down.

Bethany Young and Allison/Vivian become besties in this new town, and because Bethany is so much like Emily (she even has a crush on Vivian), Allison/Vivian strings her along and tells her some of her own secrets. One of those secrets is that she's actually a runaway from Radley Sanitarium, and before she moved to their town she ruled Rosewood as Allison DiLaurentis. Bethany doesn't believe Vivian/Allison at first - everyone makes fun of the 'loony bin' that is Radley - so Allison/Vivian sneaks them both in to see some of the crazy people Allison met while she was there. One of the 'crazy people' Allison met as "Aria" was Mrs. Kavanaugh, the mother of one of her classmates. Mrs. Kavanaugh was always 'so annoying' about her little Bible verses and her love for horses and the Christian farm she was raised at. Allison takes Bethany to the roof of Radley to show her the skyline of Rosewood, her home. Well Mrs. Kavanaugh catches Allison and Bethany, and Mrs. Kavanaugh realizes that Allison is who she thought was supposed to be Aria, and "Aria" escaped, so she goes to call for help to recapture "Aria" but then Allison pushes her off the roof. Bethany is shocked and mortified. Security comes running and Allison blames the incident on Bethany Young, and lies and says that she was there as a volunteer named Cece Drake and saw Bethany push her. Bethany is obtained and hospitalized, assumed guilty by her therapist Dr. Rollins because she's been having more and more violent encounters with her teammates in lacrosse at school. Allison gets away again, but Bethany's sister knows Allison/Vivian set her up - she always rubbed her the wrong way.

Bethany tells her sister the truth - about how Vivian is actually Allison and Allison used to pretend to be someone else as a patient at Radley. Bethany and her sister plot revenge on Allison by obtaining as much information as possible. Bethany's sister visits Rosewood under the name Sara Harvey.

Now things are gonna get confusing so here's what you need to know for this timeline to make sense; Alison ran away 'that night' pretending to be Aria. Allison as Aria escapes Radley, real Aria moves to Iceland. No body was found or buried 'that night'; Mona thinks she killed Allison, but has fugue memory as a trauma response to the attempted murder and forgets the night ever happened. Spencer's sister Melissa said she buried Allison to protect Spencer - she lied, she buried Allison for Mona. Then Aria pulls Allison out of the ground, Ezra drives Allison to Radley, etc. Spencer was high on pills and thought she was arguing with Allison, but she was arguing with Cece, who had the same outfit as Allison on because they were besties and loved to twin outfits. Spencer goes back inside. Obviously after this night Allison is living large as Vivian Darkbloom after she realizes Aria is abandoning her by moving to Iceland, instead of helping her escape like she had promised. Allison befriends Bethany then falsely accuses her. Bethany's sister does some investigating under the name Sara Harvey and befriends Cece Drake after a spring break trip. Sara and Cece become friends after a mutual resentment for Allison; Allison got Cece thrown out of the NAT club and put Bethany in Radley.

Melissa confides in Cece when she gets psychologically overwhelmed by the supposed murder of Allison - she needs to make sure she and Mona get away with it. So, Melissa, Sara and Cece get their faces fitted and they attempt to create Allison masks to occasionally parade as her, that way Allison's friends can see that and think Allison is alive.

One night Bethany gets frustrated and escapes Radley to confront Cece, Sara, and Melissa, who all think Allison is dead. Bethany wants to be certain that Allison is dead - she doesn't want Allison to escape her revenge when she's been sneaky with her personas already. Ian is outside watching Bethany approach the house and thinks it's Allison, so he runs to Melissa's barn house, grabs his trophy, then kills her. Cece, Melissa, and Sara see this then Cece gets an A message threatening to expose them all for the murder of Bethany and the "supposed" murder of Allison. Cece realizes that the -A signature was usually used by Allison, so she digs up the hole under the gazebo and they realize Allison was never dead. Now they gotta cover two birds with one blanket - and try to get at least one step ahead of Allison. Scared and confused, Cece goes to Jessica DiLaurentis and tells her the truth - well, part of the truth. She claims Allison disappeared because she killed a classmate, and now Cece doesn't know how to protect Allison because they found the classmate's body. Jessica agrees to protect Allison and Cece, and helps bury Bethany - Cece remembers the outfit she was twinning with Allison the night she was reported missing, so they dress Bethany in that outfit and bury her under the gazebo construction area. Jessica plans to lie to officials if the body is ever found and pretend it's Allison. Cece and Melissa vow to help Sara enact revenge on Allison via the A team, and they must first find Allison by interrogating her friends.

Skip to the timeline of Original Sin: Sara Harvey didn't die like she did in the original tv show. Instead, Emily turns her in to the police and Sara is kept in Radley after blaming her grief and remorse for Bethany to join the A team and torment the girls. She is hospitalized with Cece, who comes up with this elaborate lie to get into Radley and hopefully one day appeal to leave. Sara thinks Cece is going to help Sara leave as well, or at least escape under an alias, but she doesn't. Sara thinks Cece abandoned her, but she realizes Allison murdered Cece. Allison and Aria have already been caught and hospitalized in an undisclosed location, from which Allison supposedly escaped again. So, Sara finds the daughters of Bethany's high school friends to bring the group back together. They joke about killing their own equivalent of Allison - Karen - and Sara kills her as A. Sara torments the girls and their mothers, hoping to draw out Allison for one last hurrah before finally ending the - A urban legend by destroying Allison, Aria, and herself - who she calls Alias-on (a play on Allison).

Emogen and her friends must end the generational curse of Allison's - A reign by putting the pieces together to avenge Bethany's death.

That is what Original Sin should've been about; tie it back to the original PLL universe and maintain plot line consistency/tie up lose ends we never got answered in the original show.
