I present yet ANOTHER atsv au:

the bird companion au

in which at the age of 10, every person is given a bird companion that signifies their purpose, character, and destiny by the Canon itself in a large ceremony.

Miles Morales was given the companion of a cockatiel, Gwen Stacy was given the companion of a swan, Pavitr Prabhakar was given the companion of a bluebird, and Hobie Brown was given the companion of a cockatoo.

Miguel O’Hara was given the companion of an African Grey Parrot, Jessica Drew was given the companion of a bald eagle, and Peter B. Parker was given the companion of a pigeon (hear me out here).

All of these symbolize their character and even their role in the multiverse. Cockatiels (Miles’s bird) symbolize the important of socialization and creating bonds with others, as well as holding your loved ones dear to your heart. Swans (Gwen’s bird) symbolizes grace and beauty. The swan is also seen in the famous ballet Swan Lake and it deals with the character of Odette being cursed, which is similar to Gwen Stacy and her curse of dying in every other universe.

Bluebirds (Pavitr’s bird) represent joy, happiness, and harmony, which is similar to how in the face of disaster and dangerous threats, Pavitr is still able to shine through with unwavering optimism that doesn’t feel faked in the slightest. Cockatoos (Hobie’s bird) don’t have one definite symbolism, but they are known for their seed dispersal to help regenerate the forest, and are often seen as “pests” to most farms. This can reflect on how Hobie gives to the community while screwing over the authority that wants to keep all resources to themselves.

African Grey Parrots (Miguel’s bird) are regarded as one of the smartest birds in the world, being the smartest parrot in the world as well. This, along with them symbolizing royalty through its tail feathers, emphasizes on the isolation Miguel goes through with his unique knowledge on the multiverse and the consequences of meddling with the Canon, as well as the grief and guilt that comes with knowing what will happen in the future.

Bald eagles (Jess’s bird) are seen as symbols of bravery and strength, which Jess perfectly represents. She works in one of the most elite and strict societies with prestige and a sense of professionalism that no one can deny is present. Yes, while this bird is also seen as specifically a symbol for the United States of America, this is what they symbolize on a broader level.

Now you may think I did Peter dirty by giving him a freaking PIGEON but the symbolism behind this particular bird fits his character arc a lot. Pigeons are seen as symbols of peace, love, and tranquility (calmness). His arc of learning to being love (MJ) back into his life again and a sense of peace with his new family emulates this bird perfectly. Also, I just see him with a pigeon especially with his attire, okay?

Here’s one more snippet for my OC Mariano O’Hara from the Mariano O’Hara au hehe

—-

Mariano O’Hara, if he were in this au as well, would be given the companion of a mockingbird. Mockingbirds, especially in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, are symbols of innocence. To kill a mockingbird then, is to destroy innocence. Mariano, while he does have some of the qualities of getting a cockatiel, bluebird, and even a pigeon, he gets a mockingbird because his innocence of the world highlights everything else in his personality. His abundant kindness and love for the world is a direct result of being kept away from it by Miguel, who is extremely adamant on making sure he doesn’t face the horrors of society that are unfortunately present. They parallel each other in a way: Miguel’s bird represents the burden of having the most knowledge and intelligence out of anyone and Mariano’s bird shows both the ups and downs of being completely innocent, by being both ignorant of everything bad, but also vulnerable to those evil forces.

So you can tell I have a lil obsession hehe

I was browsing my bookmarks, and found a good one that I didn't remember... and that turned out to be gone. I ran it through the Wayback Machine, and turns out the site has been down for a few years.

So, for my own sake and for posterity, I am posting it here, because it is useful information.

How to Go Cage Free

Tara Hurlin

I have been researching the care of companion parrots ever since they captured my interest at age 18. Now at age 30, I run a small rescue out of my home that specializes in special needs birds, including parrots with behavioral issues and some with what would consider depression. I take pride and enjoyment out of offering a variety of fresh healthy foods daily, rotating toys a couple times a week, and spending one-on-one time with each of them. Lets put it this way: I never shower alone!

But even after doing all of that, I still felt that I needed to do more. They seemed happy, but something was still off. I visited the Foster Parrots, Ltd. sanctuary in 2013. At first, I thought it was going to be a sad experience; there are around 500 parrots in their care. But when I arrived to see all of the huge free-flight setups, I discovered how happy those birds actually were. It was then that it hit me: I need to find a way to eliminate as many cages as I can.

Even if they are born in captivity, parrots are wild at heart. They are not domesticated animals; their brains are not wired for life in a cage. Depending on the bird, some think of their cage as a safe place to go to sleep and eat, but others act out, get depressed or start feather picking from boredom. The huge, most important part to consider when thinking about going cage free is (pay attention): You must know your bird, and if you have a flock, you absolutely must know your flock.

It took about a year for my rescue, Hurlin’s Parrot Rescue, to convert to going mostly cage free, and we are still changing things weekly. Keep in mind that we have a flock of 20, and it is a slow process because I allowed everyone to adjust at their own pace. In the beginning, I built jungle gyms hanging from the ceiling out of untreated manila rope. I hung a variety of toys, and they used that as a supervised playtime area – supervised so I could learn who may get along with who, or who was going to be a issue with other birds.  As an important note: The large birds such as the Macaws are always kept in separate rooms, the Cockatoos in another separate room, and then the Amazons and African Greys in another.

The next step was to add large hanging perches made out of bird safe woods such as poplar, maple, untreated but de-barked pine, and Manzanita wood. It is important to hang all items with either stainless steel chain or plastic chain, depending on your birds (many will chew plastic chain).  I installed dishes directly to the stands and hung toys from the chain so they could reach them. Who got to try out their cage free setup first was based upon each individual’s behavior during the supervised playtime trials.  For example, I started with the more shy birds that would need more time to establish their territory, let them get situated, then moved on to the Timneh African Greys who had already established their flock. All the while, I routinely weighed each bird to make sure they were maintaining their weight and not losing due to any stress that may be associated with the big changes. My flock personally had no weight concerns during the transition, but better safe than sorry.

[missing image] When choosing your chain, also make sure that it is safe for little birdie feet. There are certain types known to trap toes.

Meanwhile in the Macaw room, I hung all five of their ceiling play stands in the same day and moved the cages out. Shower curtains were also hung on the walls to assist in their giant poops and food flinging. I did this transition more suddenly because everyone was already used to each other; most had been in the same room for over a year. There is one handicapped Green wing Macaw in this flock, Paco, whose feet were so badly injured that they are paralyzed. Even she is cage-free: I made a play stand that works for her from hula-hoops wrapped in fleece fabric. This works wonderfully, since she is unable to climb or perch, she would just sit in the bottom of a cage all day and crawl through any poop. I had to wash her blankets and bathe her daily. Now she just aims her butt off of the play stand and poops on the papers like everyone else, usually with a little happy dance afterwards!

[missing image] Even handicapped birds have the potential to live cage free, like Paco the Green Wing Macaw.

During the transition, only a few problems occurred: My Scarlet Macaw, Booboo, who is normally a high-anxiety bundle of nerves and plucks herself accordingly, did pluck her feathers during the first week of the change. Aside from being more nervous than usual, she otherwise seemed happier than normal and in bright spirits, and even began to play with toys – something I never saw her do before. She has now fully adjusted and stopped plucking (until another hormone season comes around, most likely).

There are four birds who unfortunately can never be cage-free, but I found this out in the very beginning during supervised play times. One is our male Eclectus, who puts a lot of effort into chasing down the Amazons, and in turn his friend Velvet also cannot be cage free, because she will find a dark corner and get “nesty”, which is something that we avoid here. The Eclectus species also has different dietary needs. Another caged bird is Toby, our “hot” yellow-nape Amazon, but that was common sense and expected, as he is highly hormonal to the point of unpredictable attacks. And the fourth is Buddy the Red Lory for obvious reasons: he’s a completely different species with different dietary needs, and he is a little guy that could easily get hurt.

About three-to-four months after switching to cage free, there is one bird in particular, Spooky the Timneh African Grey, who began to claim to entire room as his territory and bully the other birds, so as a precaution he maintains a cage while we are not home, but the door is opened at all times when we are home. His setup may or may not go back to cage free again in the future. This is a great example of how flock dynamic can change over time, and you as the caretaker have to be prepared to make any changes that come with it. For me, that was regretfully adding one more cage to the bird room, making five cages total – not bad at all if you consider the flock of 20.

I often get the question of “what if a bird gets adopted, or needs to join the flock?” Similar steps will be taken if another bird is relinquished to our rescue and has the possibility of going cage free. Of course, we maintain our quarantine procedures; our quarantine room is an entirely separate room from any of the other bird rooms. Then, once we are positive the new bird is healthy, he or she is brought into the bird room in a cage to gage reactions from the flock and the newbie. From there, the new bird can move to an open-cage status, then possibly cage free. It is important to note that the majority of birds that are easily adoptable into approved homes will not transition to our cage-free flock. This will avoid stress on them if they find a new family, and it will prevent stress on our own flock. With every bird that comes and goes, the flock is affected and the dynamic changes. We take the time to get to know each bird before making any decisions – as much time as it takes. It is our responsibility to do what is in the individual’s best interest, and for our existing flock.

As for maintaining the cage free setup, new toys, swings, boings and other perches are hung and changed out regularly to keep everyone busy. Most of the birds are flighted and will explore the room, but they always return to their “safe spot” on their own play stands for food, water or sleep (with the exception of a few that prefer sleeping up on the ropes). 

[missing image] It's important to keep your flock busy by adding random foraging areas and rotating toys.

I wish that I could tell everyone that eliminating cages was all sunshine and rainbows – a piece of cake – but it takes a lot of thought and even more work! It may not be for every flock, and I can’t make that decision for you because only you can truly know your birds. Only you know what your setup is capable of and what is realistic for you.

What I can say is that I have no regrets. I have never seen my birds happier. The sparkle in their eyes shines brighter; they chatter more and interact with each other more, even just vocally from across the room. The vibe in the room is much more lively and happy, and I no longer feel the guilt of seeing so many cages lined up around the walls like little jail cells.  A few birds in particular have completely turned around: for example, Ariel, a bird who was locked in a cage for ten years and very difficult to handle due to her mood swings (I self-diagnosed her as being bipolar with possible depression), now constantly asks for me to hold her and accepts preening, almost to the point of cuddling. The first time she did this is a moment I will never forget; it was the kind of moment that reminds a rescuer why they rescue in the first place. Tears of joy filled my eyes. Another change happened in my African Greys, Shelby and Remy. With the cage-free setup they go wherever they please, and that often involves following me wherever I am in the house, which is something I love. They fly back down to their rooms when they decide it is bedtime. Their confidence has become higher from having that independence.

[missing image] Ariel is a more emotionally stable bird after going cage free.

Another perk for me personally, aside from the happy aura radiating throughout my bird rooms, is that this setup is very low maintenance compared to having cages. I spend less time scrubbing cages bars and bottom grates, which means I can enjoy more time interacting with the flock. What used to take a full day to clean now only takes a couple of hours – and that is a full on OCD bird room scrub down. We have leftover rolls of 48” wide paper donated by our local newspaper distributor. The paper is cut into large sections to completely cover the floors in each room. Smaller sections are laid over the main paper for the extra poopy spots for ease of changing it, and it makes the larger portion last longer. I sweep daily, and I wipe the walls and change papers in their entirety a couple times per week.

[missing image] Be prepared to sacrifice your wood trim... And doors!

I still continue to make changes to the bird rooms, and this will be an ongoing thing. Another large phase that will take place in spring/early summer 2016 is switching out all of the wood trim for tile or stainless – whichever I find the most cost effective (or the least ugly). Lucky for the flock, I didn’t care for the wood trim we had in those rooms, anyway!

[missing image] A glimpse of the mostly cage-free setup. Buddy the Red Lory's cage is to the left, and to the right (not pictured) are the other two cages for Velvet and Shifu, and Toby.

[missing image] Another shot of the same bird room showing the other two cages. An air filter and backup heat (vented to the outside) is also in the photo.

Main Points for going cage free:

Know your birds.

Be patient and observant.

Weigh your birds regularly to make sure they are maintaining weight and health.

Be prepared to make changes as flock dynamics change.

Adjust with the flock; you are part of it.

You better not care about your trim or possible furniture in the room, or have plans to change to un-munchable trim, like tile.

Keep them busy by changing out perches, toys and foraging activities. It’s like having a caged setup, but on a larger scale with no bars, so you have to get creative.

Enjoy watching your flock be a flock, and take pride in being part of it.

scrolling through some of your older posts, and was wondering: is Gino an African Grey or some other kind of Parrot?

also, your pfp is really cool and i hope you have a good day

Thank you! (My pfp is my personal character, Silviu ♥)

And Gino is a grey cockatiel! I got him in 1992. He hatched in 1988 according to his first owner, purchased in Australia. He's been my buddy ever since!

He's gotten really sedentary in his old age, and at this point I'm just making sure he's comfortable and happy, because I have no idea how much time I have left with him ♥

Hi lovelies,

Okay so my dad is going through a mid life crisis and has, I shit you not, brought a parrot. The parrots name is Juno, which is fitting because much like the goddess, it does not shut up. Anyways that being said I thought I would share a quick history of Parrots as pets, because, as so many things do, it finds it self rooted in the classical world.

Parrots were first domesticated by the ancient Romans and kept as pets as far back as up to 5000 years ago in Brazil, which we can gather from cave paintings of macaws. Interestingly enough, there are also ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics from 4000 years ago that depict what appear to be parrot pets. It is widely accepted that the parrots the ancient Egyptians kept were African Greys, which is what Juno is.

The first written reference to parrots was found in the ‘Ringveda’ (a piece of Indian literature) written more than 3000 years ago. By the 300 A.D., Chinese poetry described the idea of birds in cafes and birds housed in elaborate structured rimmed with jewels. Quick fun fact! The Kama Sutra (10th-13th century A.D.) states that one of the 64 requirements of a man was to teach a parrot to speak. Oh also another fun fact, but in ancient Indian civilisations, parrots were actually considered birds of love.

The first recorded presence of parrots in Europe was in 327 B.C. when Alexander the Great conquered India an took a rose-ringed parrot back to Greece. In true Alexandrian fashion he named the parrot and its family the Alexandrine Parrot (which we now class as a parakeet). In Ancient Greece, parrots soon became a symbol of wealth amongst the aristocracy. The philosopher Aristotle also had a parrot which he called Psittacae. This actually is the reason why the scientific name for the parrot family is Pscittacine. The earliest known reference to Parrots in European literature is also from around this time, where a description of a bird we now call a plum-headed parakeet is described as being able to ‘speak an Indian language’.

During the first millennium B.C. royalty and upper class families kept parrots in Asia and Africa. And as the Roman Empire came to prominence Psittacula parrots (talking parrots) became a huge deal amongst the upper classes, where professional parrot teachers were hired to teach the parrots latin. Which actually is quite impressive because genuinely you couldn’t teach me latin if you tried (again). But to be honest, the way they taught the poor parrots latin was brutal because Pliny the Elder says they used to hit the parrots on the head with iron bars.

Anyways, as the Roman Empire began to decline, so did peoples interests in parrots. The general curiosity surrounding them rise again in the Middle Ages when crusaders, merchants and explorers brought them across the seas. And once again, the were owned by the upper classes as a symbol of wealth.

Currently I am listening to my dad try to teach Juno Kutchi, which is actually quite entertaining. Anyways, parrots have always had a long and colourful (pun intended) history, and I think they’re another cool example of how almost everything finds it links back in the classical world.

no one stopped me. so now here’s wyoming heidi white y rivera aka saw dust.

one of the lost boys.

looks ~fifteen.

madison reyes fc.

why is her lost boy name “saw dust?” that’s a weird name. well, she made a bunch of props from the dust from their swords’ carving.

all those videos of people using saw dust, ramen, & super glue to fix their sinks? that’s wyoming.

yes, her parents did name her after the state. she’s just as confused about it as you are. were they high? maybe. it was the 70s after all. & they did meet at a rave.

she’s not even from wyoming. she was born & raised in florida.

has two last names, following the puerto rican tradition (which in turn, follows the spanish tradition) of giving a child the father’s first last name & the mother’s first last name.

(source, if you want to read a bit more about this phenomena.)

when she writes her name, she signs it “wyoming rivera.” so don’t worry if you can’t remember the whole thing, she certainly doesn’t expect you to. it is a mouthful.

left for the lost boys in 1986, at fifteen.

as expected from a child of the 70s & 80s, wyoming is all about bright colors & glitter. even on neverland, she made an effort to have sparkle in her wardrobe.

and now in auradon, she can buy glitter eyeshadow or sequined tops or tiny stars to stick to her skin or colored eye liner. half of the time, her clothes don’t match each other or her makeup. be prepared for a headache from all the glam when she walks down the halls.

has an african grey parrot as a pet. its name is “minim.” as it came with wyoming to neverland, it was in age-stasis for quite a while. minim will live much longer than the 50-60 years pet parrots usually get thanks to this fact.

spends way too much time trying to keep fairy godmother from taking minim away. fg regrets letting the lost boys become students since they all give her a massive headache. this bird is the biggest headache of all the lost kids.

since she’s a product of the 70s & 80s who wasn’t around as the world was advancing, you can bet that wyoming falls hook, line, & sinker for phone & emails scams. it’s like watching your grandparents talk to the lady on the phone about their car’s extended warranty.

such a naive kid.

one of the “older sibling” lost kids (much like my other lost boy oc, rowan) since she joined up later than most. they others follow her lead & look to her for guidance.

even if she has a pirate’s pet.

even though she never got to participate, she is in love w/ roller derby. she’s got her own skates & everything. she will take full advantage of any long & flat surface to slap on her skates.

they are a neon pink monstrosity w/ mismatched laces & dulled wheels from all of the use.

begged fairy godmother to put her in shop class where she could continue to make random junk out of saw dust she scooped up from the floor.

her second favorite class is “history of woodsmen & pirates” w/ tinkerbell!

kind of upset she can’t room with the rest of the lost boys. they’re either too young or too male. however, this does mean she gets to decorate her room however she wants. neon lights? check. a disco ball? check. led light strips? check.

adults will describe her rambunctious. peers will call her sweet. it’s all about perspective.

since coming to auradon & resigning herself to growing up slowly but surely, she doesn’t use the name saw dust as often. really, only the other lost kids use it. every time she hears it, she gets nostalgia pings.

What kind of parrot is Phoenix?

an African Grey! You get to find out even more about her (age, history, the reason for her name, etc) next chapter! :D

[fiascox0xo]

Maybe I could have faced the person who abused me as a little kid if I had these dogs ?

I may be 32 - the first time was when I was 3…. And idk if anything will come of it- but I hope you know I’ve never been the same since you did what you did - Shawn Lockwood footballer99 from chino hills California. I was an innocent child. My cptsd is controlling my life. I’m a recovering addict clean for over six years now, and in therapy and I found a photo of you holding me - like grabbing my arms while I tried to get away from you on a family trip - I want this anger to leave so I can heal. How can it do that when I wonder if me staying quiet means people don’t know what a monster you are,…. How you sexually abuse kids and abuse the power your family had over my family . I’m autistic and I trusted you and I was able to be controlled easily. I forgive MYSELF for being in a situation where I was abused even though it’s not my fault. YOU ASSAULTED ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I was always under the age of ten since I moved state that year.

I have never forgotten. It has affected my whole life and every relationship. I hope if you’re married your wife finds out about this & I hope you don’t have little girls…. pedophiles… even at 17 you should’ve known better- & the adults knew it happened once and allowed it to happen again. Everyone should be responsible for not protecting me! I was adopted I couldn’t make a big deal and you knew that. You preyed on me and I hate you for it. I fucking hate you so much and that makes me hate myself because I’m not this kind of person. I would never hurt someone or wish ill on anyone I want people to grow and heal and learn and be better. But I don’t believe pedos can be better…. I don’t think people who hurt animals, kids, elderly, or disabled people deserve forgiveness - they deserve prison & justice from karma. They shouldn’t be allowed to hide out in isolation either - people should know why they’re there.

I remember all the times by the way. Except the one time in my bed I room- I remember thinking the house was haunted . My brain changed that night to me seeing a ghost and over the years my mind added more to the story and looking back- I see how my memory was cut out and missing pieces and the “ghost” was a man’s shadow moving pens around at my desk that walked up to my bed and I pulled the blankets over my head- when I looked out again the shadow was back by the desk… then all I remember was sleeping in my parents room and my dogs always being outside my room and theirs upstairs anytime I walked into their room bc I got scared. This is why I’m scared of what lurks in the dark. Bc I’ve never been scared of monsters- just humans like you.

You’re why I have never dated a Shawn no matter how much I liked them- I wonder if you assaulted Yvette too- that little girl from Arizona who was my age… I hope no one else got hurt because I never got a chance to take you to court. My parents should’ve fought you and your rich family. But my mom had to quit that job after YOUR mom said I was lying. I’m sure you knew that- what little kid wouldn’t go with you when you threaten to shut off my movie and tell them I was being bad…. You knew what you were doing was sick- otherwise you wouldn’t have blindfolded me. You didnt like my umbilical hernia so you had my keep my shirt on when you had me on your bed - every other time was you making me do things to you in that bathroom but that tine was different. maybe your girlfriend that lived nextdoor with the cow wasnt ready to hook up so you went with the 5-7 year old kid who was just crawling around on the couches abd piano bench pretending she was a cat in aristrocats.

we went on family out of state vacations together and my brother was around your age. didnt go to the same school bc Chino Hills is for rich people like you and the inground pool & the springer spaniels you guys kept outside and bred - only letting the pomerainian dog inside , with the african grey parrot umbrella cockatoo that you eventually got as well. You had a big saltwater tank with sharks that I remember your mom killing by putting in a bag and then putting in the fucking freezer cause you guys didn't want them anymore you guys like these statues and fountains all around your yard they looked like those Greek white marble statues obviously made of cement and you had like a gazebo. I remember always feeling like I was in some kind of movie or like a princess or playing mermaids in that pool or having to jump in the pool and get away from the big scary dog Tonka, you threatened to turn off the movie or whatever Disney movie I was watching on your giant TV .

my parents wanna think I don't remember. But I have a photographic memory and can literally play movies in my fucking head. I can watch whole episodes here whole songs. I can see places I fucking been and while I don't get to remember things like a photographic memory and just be like a smart doctor my PTSD likes to make me maladaptive daydream of things. Sometimes we spent a lot of time at house and family. I remember your stupid hobo business and the statue guy that was made out of wood. You guys used as a coat hanger. I ripped up all the pictures of my ex-boyfriend because I thought that would heal if I never had to see your face again that would duplicate someplace .

and the other night thats where I found the photos of you GRABBING ONTO My arms tried to run away.

hindsight 2020 obviously. Somebody thought that that was a cute picture when they took it some trip up in Oregon. I think we went to see a Dodgers game. I remember the park we were at and like the stairs going down to the swing and your mom or the Palm Springs house you guys had with all the creepy pictures of clowns and the pool room cement was. I know this is rambling and it's mostly me just trying to work out why I feel so triggered right now. I'm 3000 miles away from you. I haven't had to actually see you. I got to grow up and try to have a normal life I'm sure that's what my parents wanted to just pretend shit didn't happen. Brains are formed before the age of six you made sure that mine was really extra fucked up really hard to damage you caused and that is really hard to do because my autism ADHDCPTSD and my depression has made that extremely hard. Like I said I'm a recovering addict as well and I'm doing really well in that regard. Life is good. I'm happy for the most part, but I do have chemical and balances in my brain and I am on medication and therapy. I wish I could get the specialized therapy after, seeing how I need to fix the wiring in my brain. I have lived my life on high alert fighter flight mode when I was a little kid I was caught off guard so bad that my brain decided to never let it happen again and now I catastrophize and always think of the worst possible thing and I'm paranoid and I am always wondering who's out to get me or who's gonna hurt me or I'm trusting the wrong people or domestic violence relationship so whatever

while it is not My fault I'm like this, it is my responsibility to fix it.

you never had to do anything to make it up to me or try to make this right

you probably got to live your life like nothing ever fucking happened.

you had no consequences for being a sick pedophile fuck, you could have been hurting others this entire time . and idk how to live with myself if thats true. All the adult knew you sexually abused me, your family knew we couldbt afford court we were barely getting by & my mom was working for yours at that Hobo company. with della and the other computer ladies in that office thru the garage over to the right past the in home BAR 🙄

i found photos of you in your football uniform number 99 i remember that hanging in a car was that also the year you graduated? i wonder if youd be someobe who would apologize, would you try to guilt me by saying your rich family was terrible to you, or you were bullied for being fat, or your girlfriend of years didnt wanna have sex and "boys will be boys" - or my fav excuse 'i found god ive changed' line? or would you deny it? would you try to gaslight me? or threaten to sue for defamation? even though everything is true so its not defamation is it?

I dont know if there limitations on how long rape cases last before you cant go after people,… i was three, i was five, i was seven… i was in california til i was ten. i started bringing friends with me or hanging out with my mom in the office to avoid you. i wish i got a chance to face you in court i wish my parent put me into therapy. when it first happened.

some comments from my parents as i have started to talk about this.

"you cant remember that you were three/youre confused & must be thinking of a movie"

"you never told me what happened when i asked about it, so how was i supposed to know" -dad

"i sent dad to talk about what happened and you didn't tell him anything else. we made sure he(shawn) was never alone with you again after that. So obviously you must be remembering wrong"

why would a three-year-old girl want to tell a man even if it is her dad what just happened after another man sexually assaulted her. I was a fucking toddler. Everybody knows you have a female officer. Talk to a victim. After something happens. My mom should been having that conversation, but she's not having uncomfortable conversations, if I make her comfortable, she stop talking about stuff like this anytime I bring it up. She gets upset and mad and we don't talk about it anymore because I get upset and rightfully so we have to change the topic..

I love both of my parents and obviously it's not their fault What happened? The only real person to blame is the person who did it. however i was let down and not protected by my parents or the other adults like SHAWNS PARENTS who were supposed to be like really close family friends? how I even had this one springer spaniel growing up she was like three days younger than me. She was a gift to my dad from these people. One of the dogs that they kept outside. I never fucking understood like yeah they had a cover and like a place to get out of the rain, but I swear that gardener paid more attention to the dogs than the owners & it made me sad. looking back that was probably backyard breeding.

if i didnt move i wonder if i would've ever been brave enough to face you in court. i used to be so insecure bc of my body, the umbilical hernia was like a grey/purple outtie bellybutton & i was weird & had few friends bc i struggled to fit in. (i know now im actually ❤️‍🩹❣️autistic 🥰) i was adopted and already struggled with ALL RELATIONSHIPS and abandonment issues - i felt like my family could decide to give me back & i wasnt adopted officially until i was six ? you had already R4P3D/sexually assaulted at least 2-3 times between ages 3-5… and just because i remember the time in your bedroom, kinda mine, and the bathroom blindfold thing(i felt so stupid for believing you had a pet snake that lived in the wall and was scared of people so i had to have a blind fold on- i loved reptiles and animals - i feel dumb even typing this i know i was just a kid and autistic and believe people wouldnt lie to me like that… i was giving him hand jobs maybe even gave it a kiss (not a bj) and by the 4-5time you let me not have on the blindfold…. so now as an adult any trouser snake jokes or one eyed snake jokes really mess me up. I struggle with sex. I struggle with body dysmorphia. I’ve had eating disorders my whole life because i think i was so afraid of looking like you. I did end up gaining weight in recovery I was 210 lbs and now im down fluxes between 140-130 and that’s cool I wanna get in shape and start building my muscles and tone up- I want to get fit so I can defend myself if I ever have to but also I want to live and be happy and free. I want to take care of my body because I love myself.

I turned out to be a kind person. I got sexually abused by other people after you because you made me an easier target. Hell the first person I told about you doing that shit was my best friend and neighbor - a girl a year older than me - who was also being abused at home by her brother and her cousin at the very least. Her brother also had me sit on his lap in a creepy way and she got jealous bc he was giving me attention… :/ she wasn’t bad, she was a kid who didn’t deserve it either. But I was left alone a lot & my parents lived my neighbor ( more than me I felt bc she wasn’t so weird and broken like me- she was neurotypical I think… idk if we were ever really friends bc she wasn’t nice to me in front of her other friends at school they were cool and pretty and I was the weird girl who played fairy’s over by the willow tree alone with maybe 1-3people at the height of the club maybe 5-6? lol but they didn’t stay long. Just me & my other good friend who moved schools too. (Sorry for adhd sidetrack)

I figured no one would really read all this.

If you got this far and know anything about legal stuff & like statute of limitations of sexual abuse of a minor ? Idk or if you have resources available.

I just want to be the loving peaceful person I wanna be. I wanna heal and live and stop letting my CPTSD , borderline personality disorder , (and my HSP highly sensitive persons of autism) control me. Detaching and “letting go” and like “not caring” isn’t possible for me yet. I can’t use whatever “compartmentalization “ people tell me to lol. I got here because my trauma brain PROTECTED ME by blocking it out because I was 3yo when it first happened. I have so much toxic shame and issues with dealing with embarrassing stuff lol . I am aware to grow I have to feel uncomfortable in the new things I’m doing.

comfort ≠ safety

Familiarity ≠ Love/connection

Also most importantly

“Fitting in” ≠ Belonging

“Fitting in” is actually the opposite of belonging. Because to belong is to be accepted as you are. But to “fit in” you remove pieces of yourself , and add bits of other people to make yourself the right shape 🧩 to fit someplace…. You water yourself down and cut yourself up… you have to change in unhealthy ways to “fit in” with people you don’t truly belong with. You’re not going to feel truly appreciated, loved, accepted, or safe there I promise. I know because that was every relationship my entire life I spent masking. I spent studying and learning to portray myself as normal and neuro typical as possible. However that included my relationships that involved sex - and because of my childhood trauma and NEVER GETTING HELP FOR IT PROFESSIONALLY (mom said “no dating at all” & my dad knew id do it anyway so he let me so i would actually tell him the truth -mostly) so i believed my only job as a girlfriend/partner is to give & to make them happy however i had to. Sex has always been performative on some level - whether it’s the way I look, how I sound, how I act, what moves I do or whatever, I studied porn and movies and people & I am playing a role - not as if I’m not enjoying the sex in a healthy relationship or anything - but my kind won’t allow me to just be- I have to make sure THEYRE SATISFIED. I have learned I’m only as good as what I can offer. And if I have no job, money, or house or whatever to bring to the table, the only way I was taught to repay the kindness is giving my body away- because men only want sex right?

I’ve been told by every single insecure man I ever dated that I have ZERO real friends - men aren’t friends with women ever - unless they’re gay- they want to fuck them & absolutely would fuck them 💯% of the time. Basically saying they have no female friends they wouldn’t fuck and that they’re only waiting their turn and they don’t care about my problems or anything they’re only using me and being fake nice. Like my friendship isn’t worth having & then when I lost all my friendships over the years it made me wonder if maybe they were right kinda not in a “they only wanted sex with me “ (bc really I don’t think they would’ve?) but I genuinely loved some of those guys like brothers - I would’ve taken a bullet for them or did time for them, I was always so jealous of male friendships - the “bros before hoes” thing and like they just fist fight it out have a beer and they’re friends again. No fake ass Frienemies , no only being nice to you bc they’re bullying you & trying to steal your friends/boyfriend/life (happened more than once with girls) or a friend who secretly hates them and sabotages/talks shit about them all the time. Or just like having a group of friends who never liked you but you genuinely thought they did but they were bullying and laughing AT YOU . You weren’t paranoid they were joking about you,….

I struggled with female friendships because my first bestie was also my one of my abusers who’s sexually experiment on me /make me do things to her. She knew all about sex and swear words & we’d be doing really inappropriate things to eachother (I knew it was wrong and didn’t want to but she was like my only friend and I mean my parents never caught us so it just kept happening - maybe she was making sense of what was going on with her ,… but we had lots of games that involved being tied up and stuff and then kidnapping & torture(giving the other orgasms… idk how my parents never saw anything, I remember them saying it was weird we closed the blinds in the playhouse…. I almost got caught a few times. I guess after I told them about Shawn at dinner one night - they all got super upset and LITTLE KIDS DONT HAVE THE ABILTY TO UNDERSTAND YOU ARENT MAD AT THEM. When parents get mad or do or say bad hurtful things children can not use rational logic bc their brains aren’t formed yet- they will believe THEY THEMSELVES ARE TO BLAME FOR BEING INHERENTLY BAD. So my toxic Shame spiral began- my parents liked her better than me. My mom always said “you’re never going to have any friends when you grow up because you’re such a brat. No one will ever wanna be with you” or her and my friend and me would play a board game & I’d be losing and get upset , and be called a sore loser but they’d be rubbing it in my face that they’re winning and that’s not wrong? 😑 she favored her and I was bullied by my friend . I felt left out.

One time for my birthday I had a party bigger than I wanted and they shoved my face in the cake in front of everyone I cried because it wasn’t funny - my mom said I ruined my party by crying and it wasn’t a big deal at all and I should stop being a baby.

My feelings are not valid to them.

I feel so invisible and unseen here

it doesn't matter how many posts I share or how many links I can send to their text or messenger or whatever I have tried so hard to educate people on what is going on with my brain thinking that if they loved me, they would take the time to fucking research themselves because I know I would and have when they had health conditions. I also know that going around expecting people to have the same kind of heart you do is going to get you hurt but being a highly sensitive person. It is really hard not to take things personally because it's like I would've done that for you or I would've never done that to you so I could turn my feelings off sometimes because its either 0-100 there's no in between. it's black or white, thinking all in or all out and my borderline controls my emotions even when my brain logically knows what I'm doing is not OK or what I said was hurtful or that this fight is stupid and I should stop. I can't in the moment because it takes a lot of practice and therapy to work through borderline personality disorder it's a personality disorder that affects everything I do and the things that happened to me when I was a little kid affect me because my brain was developing and you learn how to be a person before the age of six there's just a lot of intertwined shit, BPD and complex post traumatic stress disorder or CPTSD and ADHD and autism have a lot of overlapping symptoms, co-morbidity. have had lots of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, bipolar because of my suicide attempt obviously drug induced schizophrenia when I was in active addiction and alcoholism. I was also houseless during addiction because I was living on the streets with one of my abusive ex-boyfriend, who was also an addict. I was constantly dating people dating emotionally unavailable people or emotionally unintelligent people because they could not commit. I have been trying to heal my inner child and these wounds by replaying them over and over and over with the wrong people in order to be a secure attached person you have to be able to heal your inner child and your loving parent . " adult, children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families." has been a godsend of Group. I had to make it through years of actual drug groups and everything like intensive outpatient but for the most part addicts are people who are just trying to self medicate other problems they're trying to escape pain or reality or cope with some mental illness, they are not inherently evil people. It's really sad to me because I lost so many amazing people addiction. People who made this world brighter place, but it's often people with good heart end up choosing poison that slowly kill themselves because they can't handle the pain of being a good person when the world is so cold.

I have been so betrayed and screwed over in this life by people. I never thought would do it to me people that I loved unconditionally and would've died for did me dirtier than anything I could've ever imagined. worst of all, I have abandoned and betrayed myself over and over again every time I choose to not be myself authentically. Every time I showed up for work masking, pretending to be normal and not calling out the racist trans phobic motherfuckers that came into my store my therapist said my job was morally wounding me every single day, because I worked for a company that supported the genocide that is happening in Palestine. Or because I had discrimination against me and my ADHD time, blindness, autism and being deaf or constantly being misunderstood and said that I'm being rude when I genuinely was not or I constantly get told that I'm fighting and arguing or questioning authority when I'm just asking questions for clarity because I need to know information my brain works differently than other peoples and it is scientifically proven that when you grow up in a Neurotypical society, as a neurodivergent person, you are going to experience so much trauma just from trying to fit in because regardless of what other people think I knew my whole life something was wrong. I felt like I didn't belong. I felt like everybody else got a fucking map or a rule book and I swear if I could find my old diaries, I would show you the entries. I always felt like I was a misprint or defective product that if I was found out, I would be sent back to the machine factory and be destroyed or replaced. mental Health was so taboo it's not like it was ever looked at a place like a doctor that supposed to make you feel better didn't we talk about things that were uncomfortable bottling things up just doesn't work for me so I want my laundry I wanna be open and honest about all the things I've been through because I know what it's like to be alone and not have anybody to talk to you about it.

i know i am someone i wouldve ran to as a child for safety. that matters.

we are every age we ever were still. i am still the three-year-old who thought there was a ghost in my room. I'm still the five-year-old who didn't want their movie shut off or to get in trouble with her mom for causing problems at her workplace or embarrassing her in front of her friends still. 20 something-year-old who woke up to being raped on my birthday in 2018. or who woke up being raped during the day when i thought it was safe to sleep outside :( who then got beat up by my then fiance who robbed me of 100$(then got mad i called him on it bc he got it stollen by someone bc he was a bad dude who owed money idk but he got mad and i received the biggest beating i had ever gotten by him- i couldnt breathe without my ribs hurting bc they were bruised or cracked idk. i couldnt wear a bra for weeks - and at the time i wanted to no longer be alive because i was in constant pain just existing- breathing laying sitting bending ugh it was awful(i took a drink mix bottle $1 out his bag to use bc i wanted a drink with flavor he took my money lol- i figured itd be NBD but he flipped out (i should've known better lol meth heads and women beaters dont thibk logocally) but he had his hands around my neck and i told him to finish me off - the look in his eyes was terrifying bc he was having fun being in control- this was the only time he touched me anymore so i was so touch starved i would rather be hit than ignored. i loved that jerk so much back then. i just wanted to be loved. i thought he was my ride or die. but he was a narcissistic sociopath. he only cared about himself, drugs & money. he cared more about what strangers thought of him & what new people could offer , that even though i was willing to do anything for him, and was loyal and only wanted us to finally get out place together, he asked me to marry him with a bs ring to shut me up, but i thought he really loved me. i thought we got each other. truth was i tolerated so much horrible behavior and disrespect & he was racist, selfish, cheater, liar, manipulator. he enjoyed hurting me and making me cry. i thought if i showed him how much i care & how much i tried, if i stay loyal and keep helping him however i can he will SEE IM GENUINELY IN LOVE AND HE WILL PICK ME & see i wont abandon him & will be us against the world.

thats not what happens ever btw.

you show them you will allow that disrespect and any and all worse levels of disrespect too.

you staying shows you are okay being lied to, zmade fun of in front of others, like the time he said something like "hey you know ______this piece of info that apparently everyone knows isnt true "because common sense"(im autistic and BELIEVED MY FIANCE WOULDNT LIE TO ME?) ——- the sky is actually red because of science" <— not what was said but basically how it always went.

I would believe him and ask more questions because i looked at him like he was smart and i trusted him. and i asked him not to abandon me or like ostracize me in the new place…. but he made an absolute fool out of me - showed all the strangers i was gonna spend god knew how long with , that my own fiance didnt respect me & they didnt have to either. and they didnt. he would rob or rip me off, leave me sick af alone & crying & he would berate me like its my fault��� he made friends and cut me out and left me to fend for myself after swearing he wouldnt. i was 2k miles away from anyone i knew or trusted and he continuously betrayed me over and over because i kept going back and believing him. he cried once when i was done and trying to leave. i found out he lied about the girl he said meant nothing hed been seeing her the entire year still- wouldny block her or tell her we were engaged but said he was doing everything we were just without me. bc he cared about her more then me.

people will use you because you let them

people treat you how you allow them to

healthy boundaries matter and are an invitation into your life- not a dismissal. its the persons choice to respect you enough to listen.

i stayed with men who never loved me at all.

i slept with people bc it was the only way to feel close to them. they were closed off and had no intentions on letting me in- they just wanted to control me, manipulate the situation, get all the attention for their ego & the benefits of being loved and adored without having to put in effort. they liked how i made them feel but i dont believe they ever liked me. I love me though i like me too i tried really hard to make myself keep loving after my heart got broken . i stayed kind and a romantic who believes in love and the goodness of people … "we may not all be here to evolve though- some are here to show us what happens if we dont"

i am trying to cope with how angry i am.

i was a child and was meant to be protected.

i wasnt prepared for real life at a either because of my parents inability to sit in the uncomfortable-ness and have conversations that NEEDED TO BE HAD. dont protect your kids in a way that shelters them , prepare them , with kindness - you can teach them to be strong and smart without breaking them. you should be a safe place for your child. you shouldnt make them feel like their existence bothers you- or blame them for making you crazy…. lol because really you are the ones who raised me- so dont put your low ass emotional IQ/EQ intelligence on me. i put work in. ive trained algorithms to be full of self help and animals to make me happy and heal. i am grateful for the people i have, my pets, my life & recovery & for my partner who has been AMAZING - literally idk what id have done if i didnt have you to help me stay grounded and how you supoort me through all of this and make me feel loved and appreciated and like you actually want me for me and not just sex. <3 the fact youre so nonjudgmental of my past and traumas. im the luckiest person ever & am glad i finally got a chance to have a partner like you. heres to the time ahead together <3 2months soon ^_^

yep this was me trying to end on a high note <3 i need to be grateful in recovery <3 and i am. today is lovely, sitting outside in the sun with the pup, trying to get this off my chest and hoping it stays hidden on my page. ive never said all this outloud before .

thanks to whoever read all that.
