so i havent really spoken on this a lot, but the reason goredev left the modding community was in large part due to the false accusations made against him a year ago that he was a sexual predator. the allegations were proven false, but not before a moderator at r/skyrimmods (a subreddit with over 400k members in it) allowed a callout post to made about him with these allegations and his personal details, such as his legal name, the city and state he lived in, his rank in the army, etc. all with the purpose of calling him out for something he was not. after he proved his innocence, the r/skyrimmods subreddit was quick to remove any and all mentions of the incident. goredev got little more than a "whoops, sorry I was manipulated!" for an apology from the admin that allowed his sensitive and private information to be posted, but the damage was already done. during that time I was driving 3 hours to his house and back once a week to check on him as a form of suicide watch. goredev, as im sure you all know, is a victim of CSA. to be called a predator was extremely triggering and had a noticeable impact on his mental health. because of this, and because he never got more than a half-hearted apology and no true resolution besides just absolving his name of a crime he did not commit, he made the decision to leave the community he had been made to feel so unwelcome in. he brought it to the r/skyrimmods subreddit's attention of the admin's, Thallassa, actions. since then, the subreddit has been embroiled on the topic of if she should remain a moderator, what needs to be done about moderation, and what to do going further. Thallassa announced today that they were recruiting more admins for the subreddit, but that she would not be stepping down as a moderator. No accountability would be taken. I made a post directly addressing her, which was immediately removed from the subreddit. I feel you all have a right to hear it:

"Ok Thallassa. Let me address you directly. Last time we spoke, you said you admired how kind I was, so let me pay you that same respect.

I am glad to hear that other moderators will be recruited. But, in my honest opinion, this needs to be done with the goal in mind that you will step down from your role. By your own admission just now, you allowed a man's government name and the city and state he lived in to be posted in a malicious callout thread. In doing so, you potentially endangered him and his family. You allowed my legal name to be posted on that same thread, and when I asked you to removed it and showed you my drivers license to prove it was my legal name, you still contested it and eventually settled on 'I'll ask [party accusing goredev] to remove your name.' You did not take action as a moderator and remove mentions of my name. You told me you would ask the same person who I had just shown you proof of attacking and insulting me to do it themselves. You have also allowed trash-talking about goredev to stay up in the discord server general chat, some talks you even participated in. It is clear that you have an outstanding bias and therefore cannot be impartial in this matter or any other matters to do with him whatsoever.

Let's also not forget why all of this started in the first place: because of the events of last year, wherein he was falsely accused of being a predator, because he never got a formal apology, and because the events that transpired on this subreddit permanently ruined his reputation amongst other mod authors, he is leaving the community. He was treated like shit, frankly. And never got more than a 'whoops, sorry'.

This post still falls short of what he was asking for when he brought this to light again: accountability. I think recruiting new admins is going to be a great start. But you cannot remain an impartial moderator here. It is too abundantly clear you are not impartial, you have bias, and you still cannot say directly 'I apologize for the role I had in malicious, false attacks against you that have affected you this deeply.' You still do not even say what the false allegations were that you kept up: that he, a CSA survivor, was supposedly a predator.

So sure, stuff is being done to fill the gap that Cobb left, but nothing is changed. No accountability has been taken. And until then, I cannot see how anything is going to get done and not allow something like this to happen again. I hope this was kind enough for you, and I hope you listen to what I have to say." You all have a right to know why he left, what he went through, and what he is still going through. Thallassa, I hope you see this, and I hope you stop removing posts. Take accountability for your role in what you did to goredev, own up to what you did, and step down so no one else can be hurt like he has been.

“Somehow whats has returned” I’m like a cockroach I always come back

Yeah man, I think that would ruin the mood.

Prompt was originally written by someone called attorilene on here but here’s prompt “ an overheard conversation about your OC “ write ur magic words friend

Sometimes, the heat of the campfire was more like a rope around her neck than a source of warmth and protection. The heat felt as though it pushed on her, the smoke of the fire thick in her throat, and the sweat that formed at the nape of her neck she became all too aware of. In those moments of overwhelm, Zulee found herself retreating into her mind to escape the sensation, which tonight was the last place she wanted to be.

She had told Gore that she would look for kindling to keep the fire alive. Her companion always kept a pile at his foot that he never let dwindle, but he did not argue. He knew her better than anyone else. He also found himself distracted by their newest tagalong, Meeko, opting to occupy himself with the hound for most of the evening.

In her walk in the woods, she felt the searing heat of the campfire cool against the harsh Skyrim winter winds. The sweat at the nape of her neck dried as well, and as the minutes passed she could feel fresh air replacing the thick, smoky air that occupied her lungs. As her ailments eased, so did her mind, and a mild sense of peace found her again.

As Zulee approached the camp again, she could make out the familiar timbre of Gore resonate through the brush.

“She’ll be back, Meeko.”

The words brought a smile to her face. As she grew closer, the image of Gore sat upon his bedroll became clear. He looked onto Meeko as the hound anxiously paced the perimeter of the camp.

“She’ll be back, boy,” he repeated. “Don’t you worry.”

For all of his reassuring words that perhaps would have worked on a more fluent speaker, Meeko still anxiously trotted around the perimeter, scanning the tree-line with his nose high in the air.

“Worst that can happen out here are rusty old bear traps. Believe me.” Gore now fiddled with a small branch between his fingers, his eyes no longer on the dog. “And if that happened, you’d be able to smell her blood, wouldn’t you? And I’d help her out of it, same as she did for me.”

Zulee shook her head as her smile tugged further upwards on her face.

“Truth is, I still don’t know why she helped me that day.”

She didn’t either.

“But I’m sure glad she did, Meeko.”

She was too.
