When did you first read the myth of Ganymede? And why did you chose to make a comic for this myth?
its a long and convoluted story but im happy to share. in 2015, i was in middle school, i made horror character designs based on the zodiac signs and those later became OCs (i have never read homestuck, everything i know about it was forced upon me by my friends in school). i used the myths as backstories for the characters when they are living constellations. i wanted to make a RPG and they were stars that fell to earth when the gods got too caught up in their bullshit and neglected humanity and the earth and now they have to save the world.
i was immediately attached to Aquarius (who is now Ganymede), he was always an androgynous perpetually dissociated character even before i knew the backstory. i was a teenager myself at this point when i really got into it, and i found the Zeus and Ganymede myth to be disturbing since i was his age. it stuck with me, to the point where i struggled to find the other constellations myths less compelling.
i dont know how to code and didnt know how to make games, i already felt like i was losing it bc its been in production hell since i was 12 and i was 17 at the time. i felt like before i make the game, i should make backstory comics for ALL 12 CHARACTERS (how i thought i would be able to do that when i only cared about 2-3 of the characters in the series who knows). i couldnt stop thinking about Ganymede, i couldnt stop thinking about a story where he is a character and not just an object in the narrative.
in 2020-2021, i made my first draft beta version, it wasnt called "Cupbearers", it was "Divine Intervention: Cupbearer". i just found the myth so compelling in a "i need to make a horror story out of this" way, i needed to cope with my own fears of kidnapping, sexual abuse, human trafficking, loss of bodily autonomy, transformations, immortality, and being stuck through this myth inspired comic.
Ganymede, even as Aquarius, has always been a cathartic character for me, both as a 12 year old and now as a 21 year old. i grow up but he is cursed with immortality, cursed with eternal youth, the world keeps moving on and he will never be able to catch up. stuck in the same spot, never moving forward, never moving backwards, just stuck working for the man who stole his life until the end of time, eternal punishment viewed as a gift by those who bestowed it upon him. how could you be so ungrateful? we gave you a gift. we took you away from everything you've ever known, we've taken away ownership of your body, we've turned you into a beast like us, being tortured by me is a gift, it is a privilege that i chose you, you ungrateful meat-thing.
but he is just a kid, i want to protect him, i want to draw him having fun, i want to draw him enjoying a good meal, i want to see him find any comfort in the horror that is immortality. he's only a kid. just a baby, barely even though puberty, his brain isnt done developing, he had a future, he could have grown up and chose his own life. i think about that a lot.
i just generally have a lot of thoughts, everything i write and draw for this project has a point, it has a purpose, its not just needless suffering i dont write despair. (some zeus x ganymede shipper vagueposted about cupbearers being needless wallowing without purpose bc i dont write fluff fics between a grown man and his child slave)
i really appreciate this ask!!! thanks for asking me about my thought process, i have so much going on in my head and i need to get it out somehow

If you’re up for it, I’d love to hear more about Corey! What kind of villain he is, what his goals are, anything you’d be willing to share? No pressure of course! Love seeing your art
Starting with a heartfelt thank you for your interest in them, I think my blog has gotten more attention today bc of your reblog than it has collectively since I made it lmao. I am a huge fan of your sidestep too actually, I've only recently quit being just a lurker on this site but I've always loved seeing Richard cross my dash.
I'd LOVE to share about Corey!!!
I'm not 100% sure on a canon route yet, but for now this is one of my favs
Under a cut for length
Back during the sidestep days, they were known as a vigilante, specializing in tech and tactics. Once Anathema and Ortega broke the ice, they really opened up and became very social (comparatively anyway, theyre still a homebody) and were very involved in their community in like a local cryptid way ("honey, the masked stranger that cut the boot off my tire is on the TV lurking in the background of a rangers interview"). Very stray cat affection style, went from "i hate you dont touch me" to being in Themmy/ Ortega's space constantly. They have absolutely terrible mental health that was somewhat on the mend thanks to the support of their friends until they went and got the "taste the metal"/"one more day" path during the heartbreak incident .
During Rebirth, they're much more withdrawn and dissociative. In the time since the heartbreak incident they have become much more cautious and try to avoid combat whenever they can, taking telepathic boosters and speed/jump-jets as their armor enhancements. They blow up the museum while maintaining a no kill status and take the villain name "Heartbreak" (i love the angst that one brings). Corey blames themselves for what happened to them and their friends (sidestep/past self nemesis), and their motivation is their anger over everything that's happened to them.
Corey changes nemesis/motives between rebirth and retribution. Their more social nature starts coming back as their relationship with the current rangers and mortem improves and they go to therapy, which mellows them out a lot. They begin to wonder if they're doing the wrong thing (current self nemesis) and change motivations to "show the world the truth". Heartbreak becomes an anarchist, dedicated to exposing corrupt politicians with the least amount of violence possible. Their irresistable urge to monologue about how fucked up things are makes both Ortega and Chen sympathetic and suspicious.
For now, Corey's got a mirror image puppet named Mallory. Ideally, the puppet would be a woman for maximum gender crisis, but I love the scene in Ortega's romance that has him call the puppet by sidesteps name, and that only triggers with the mirror image achievement.
I have played ALL the romance routes and adore everyone, especially Dr. Mortum (Corey's new best friend), but the friends to lovers with Ortega wins me over, so Ortega is winning the canon route by a very thin margin.
I'm having a very hard time figuring out Corey's gender issues, bc we have dysphoria in opposite directions. I *think* they're agender, but that might change over time who knows. They're gonna come out during the story whenever that gets addressed, so He/him and They/them are both applicable
My favorite retribution ending so far is where Corey goes to see HG themselves, crashes, and is revealed as Heartbreak, but Ortega breaks them out anyway.
Thank you so much for your interest in Corey! I love them so much and am thrilled to share <3
I'll put together a more coherent summary of their lore eventually, but hopefully this is good for now :)

This is going to be long and i speak spanish so probably im going to have grammar mistakes U.u
When I was 16 I hang out with a classmate, he abuse me but idk it was weird and im not sure if it was abuse. When i was with him we were in a public space and he made me do sexual things, it felts weird but i didn´t said no but i didn´t wanted to do what we were doing but why i didn´t said no? maybe i wanted to do the things but it was HIM WHO TAKE MY HAND and move it all the time, it wasn´t ME who was doing the things, he was just using my hands and my body. He also made me things to me and i felt weird because i felt paralize and dissociated and I remember that i was having flashbacks of another moment in my life that i was abused, it was uncomfortable but i just can´t bealive that i was REALLY abuse bc i didn´t said no, because of that i feel so guilty and ashame of the situation...
Everything got worse some time later bc another girl of my school openly said that she was abuse by this same guy and the school take legal actions and what she said that he do to her was THE SAME THINGS that he did to me. In that moment i said what he did to me and the school alo take the legal actions but i felt the the theachers and the others adults didn´t bealive me at all, they looked at me like i was doing eveerything for atention and they ask me what happend and i I could see in their faces that they didn't believe me at all because the ask if i say no and because i didn´t said no they said that probably i wanted to do everything and obviously he didn´t notice that i was uncomfortable BUT BRO I WASN´T EVE MOVING I DIDN´T SAY NOTHING WHILE HE TOUCH ME AND HE MADE ME TUCH HIM, IT WAS HIM WHO MADE ME DO EVERYTHING!!!! they didn´t take me seriously. My friends alredy know what happend bc i told them the situation the day after it happend and fortunately when my classmates found out every single one bealive me without doing any questions me and kinda protect me of him when he arrive to the classroom, they move all the seats of the clasroom away from his seat and also put juice and yogurt in his backpack were he has his ipad in a way to made justice and take revenge for what he did to me and the other girl, they were sweet.
Anyways i still feel bad and ashame and a liar when i say that he abuse me because maybe he didn´t do it and everything was my fault because i didn´t say no in an explicit way, it made me doubt of what happend.
If someone could give me and opinion about all this situation it will be amazing because idk what to think about this situation. This happend when i had 16 and now im almost 20 and i still dont know if it was abuse or was just my fault because i didn´t say no and he never wanted to hurt me ?
To me this sounds like abuse. Many people who were abused didn’t clearly say no when it was happening. This can be due to fear, like you say feeling paralyzed. That’s called the “freeze response”. You are not to blame no matter if you didn’t say no. Also, no matter if you maybe “wanted it” or not, he should have asked and made sure you consented. I believe you.

i'm not sure what kind of spider it was, it was itty bitty and it was kinda walking around on my blanket and i reached out and it crawled onto my hand [i sleep on the floor because i'm worse than the joker (✿◠‿◠)]
when i was like. In the Ambulance. back in june. the paramedics asked me if i have any health conditions. and i told them something a bit like "physically not much, mentally autism spectrum and dissociative disorder" cuz i didn't want to speak much because Pain so i just skipped some words here and there. and later (when they actually agreed to drive me to a Regular Hospital after spending a Lot of time on talking) paramedic 1 asked paramedic 2 if they should [word that usually means something like "secure" but is often a fancy word for "restrain"] me and paramedic 2 said that it doesn't seem necessary
this is what Split (2016) does to ur brain..... why would you even consider restraining someone who is eerily calm according to u. also i was like less than two meters away and could hear them (◡‿◡✿)
im gonna go snork mimi now... night night ♡ or probably more like. day day. idk.
- kanra
SPLIT (2016) (DEROGATORY)

I think a big problem is that sometimes we refuse to acknowledge our favorite characters are flawed and yet thats why we love them. Real people are flawed. Thats what makes the characters realistic and multi-dimensional and thats why we love them. This is much longer than i anticipated lol
Eddie can be a real asshole, on purpose, and kind of intimidating. Yes he has a heart of gold but that doesnt change the fact that he is not an uwu sweetiepie to everyone he comes across from moment one. Thats what makes his interactions with chrissy and dustin (and even steve, to an extent) so meaningful - bc he simply Is Not Like That with anyone else. Its a layer to his personality that he doesnt not easily share. Yet hes also genuinely snarky and sarcastic and kind of a dick, and a coward, too. He runs from danger and puts other people at risk/in danger/hurts other people because of it. Sure its justified at times but it doesnt change the fact that being mean and a coward is a character flaw. It doesnt make him a bad person. It makes him realistic.
Chrissy doesnt like being vulnerable. Shes self destructive. She doesnt open up to her friends or family or her boyfriend that loves her. Shes walled off and lies to them and tells them everything is fine. She would rather dissociate/do drugs than try to solve her problems. It doesn't make her a bad person. It makes her realistic.
Flaws dont mean "a thing that ruins this character" or "a thing we should hate about this character" or "a thing that makes this character a bad person" or anything like that. Flaws means "a thing that makes this character imperfect" and "a thing that the character needs to change in order to show growth and character development." We can all agree steve is flawed - he was a dick in high school. But he changed, stopped being a dick, and he acknowledges that he has been working on himself to become a better person when he tells nancy hes still in love with her. A redemption arc = a character overcoming their shortcomings and genuinely changing for the better.
Eddie is a coward. He hurts other people with his cowardice. Yes given the fact that he is wanted for murder its understandable that he would run, but it doesnt change the fact that his cowardice hurts orher people.
Chrissy was murdered in his trailer. He chose to run rather than call the cops - and had he called the cops, yes he would have likely been arrested, but then he wouldnt have been held responsible for freds death bc he likely would have been in custody when fred was murdered, and he probably wouldnt have been blamed for patricks death either since they wouldnt have been hunting him and therefore wouldnt have been around him when patrick was murdered. But instead, he ran, and left Wayne - who loved him more than anything and likely saved him from a horrible childhood and raised him as his own - to find Chrissy's horrifyingly tortured body.
Eddie ran, and therefore put The Party in danger of aiding/abetting "a criminal" and they could have been arrested for that. He indirectly caused their parents distress too.
Thats why eddie bravely playing to distract the bats, and then bravely charging headfirst ALONE into the swarm of bats is his redemption. Had he refused to play to distract the bats (like a coward) he probably would have prevented The Party from being able to kill Vecna. Had he ran from the bats and went into the real world to save himself (like a coward) the bats either would have gotten into the real world, or they would have doubled back and killed steve/robin/nancy.
So he played loudly to distract the bats and explicitly stated that he did it to avenge Chrissy as well as to protect steve/robin/nancy so they could kill Vecna - growth from how he left her to rot and for Wayne to find her, and growth from how he continually put The Party in danger by running. He cut the sheets in an attempt to protect dustin and tried to lure the bats away to protect steve/robin/nancy - same thing, growth from how he continually put The Party in danger by running. He stopped running and so he stopped hurting other people with his cowardice. Even though he knew it would be putting his life in danger.
And then he told dustin he loved him - growth from his assholery. Even (semi backhandedly lol) complimenting steve and (begrudgingly lol) acknowledging that steve is not the person Eddie thought steve was is growth too. Avenging chrissy was also a little bit of growth like this too, altho obviously not to the same degree bc he was open and vulnerable and kind to her almost from the get-go, but he was apologizing for not trying to help her w her problems and instead try to make money off her bc it was easier.
Chrissy didnt get a chance at a redemption arc, but the fact that it seems like everyones headcanon is that had she lived, she would have been able to open up and overcome her self loathing and self destruction. Shes not a bad person for being mentally ill and a victim of abuse. But character growth mandates that she would have addressed her problems and worked on herself bc refusal to address her problems rather than really truly ask for help - bc obviously she wasnt rly opening up to mrs kelly - and do the scary, difficult, emotionally draining work.
Idk. Character flaws are good. All the other characters on the show have flaws - its what makes them interesting and multidimensional and realistic. They arent bad people for being flawed. They arent villains for being flawed. And handwaving them away is doing them a disservice imo.

I like your analysis(es?) so much hh, and apparently my brainworm of the day is the NXX crew getting a flowering cactus called Karla, for some reason. It’s a therapy cactus XD. No other thoughts. - Book
thank you, Book!!! and also wait no get back here and tell me more
KARLA!!! KARLA!!! oh i love her already but please understand that i have so many questions and all those questions have accompanying THOUGHTS oh gosh okay let me just hm wordbarf both those things very messily, you know how i do things
what kind of flowering cactus?
there are so many, afterall.
given that vyn is into botany and gardening, i assume he would have a lot of opinions on this.
actually, ive met a lot of botany hobbyists in my life, and the snobbier ones among them actually HATE cacti (and succulents). theyd say stuff like "oh cacti are the in thing with the millenials these days, theyre the plant people get when they dont know anything about plants."
WOULD VYN BE LIKE THAT, LMAO????? he seems like the type to at least THINK IT.
but also deep down i assume vyn is like "a plant is a plant is a plant" bc among the sweeter botany hobbyists ive met, theyve got this notion that "as long as you help it grow strong through the challenges, u did a good job" WHICH....MAKES ME THINK....VYN THINGS....vyn is not going to admit it, he will never admit it, but hm. what a strange plant. shaped to protect itself yet in need of care all the same.....
ANYWAY if anybody is getting a premeditated-bought cactus for the HXX HQ, you bet that vyn will, one way or another, have some kind of say in what the cactus will be. if it isnt premeditated-bought, he'll definitely have many things to say about the cactus' future care
or does the cactus just kind of appear there? is it brought into the NXX HQ in the dead of the night like jesus in the manger? if that's the case, who brought it?
i think it would be artem. or, well, i think it would be FUNNIEST/PATHETIC-EST if it was artem.
let's just say that a non-NXX and non-MC person decides eyyy, artem, got u a gift, it's a cactus! haha, get it! bc ur a prickly unapproachable dude! and artem is like ".........." BUT LIKE IT'S RUDE NOT TO ACCEPT A GIFT EVEN WITH THE BACKHANDED CRITICISM OF HIS GENERAL STATE OF BEING
so he takes the cactus and like leaves it at NXX HQ because if he brings it to his apartment hes going to get vaguely annoyed by the cactus and what it supposedly represents and he'd want to set it on fire
(sidenote: cacti do not burn well, by the way, ive set some on fire for cacti funerals and sigh, you have to put gasoline on them for a good burn)
anyway he brings the cactus there, leaves it vaguely hoping that the air conditioning will like, kill it (cacti live in the desert, right? so cold...bad?) and then somebody else will go "where the fuck did this dead cactus come from, can we throw it away" and then artem can throw it away (ALONG WITH THE REST OF HIS EMOTIONS. artem...GET HELP....)
but that doesnt happen because get fucked, artem wing
who names it Karla?
naming a plant most often comes from somebody who has gotten VERY ATTACHED TO THAT PLANT. i first thought hmmm maybe it's luke, but then i remembered that luke has this HILARIOUS tendency of making comments about eating MANY ORGANISMS HE COMES ACROSS (ssr shape of you, he threatens to cook and eat goose, chara story ep 1, hes very happy at eating the cooked crabs for their crab crimes, sr aquarium date forgot the name, hes like let's eat seafood SURROUNDED BY HAPPY ALIVE FISH, luke....what the fuck?) so maybe it's not luke and that leaves...
marius von hagen getting attached to a cactus and naming it is SO FUNNY TO ME but also makes me soft. hes the first one who sees the cactus in HQ and is like "who the fuck left this here?" //big data lab googling what it is. "well good thing it's fine with cold temps wouldve died if not, you cant just leave a thing in a place...with no warning....with no help...thats tough....huh, thats tough, isnt it, cactus?"
am i saying that marius von hagen gets attached to the cactus because it vaguely reminds him of his own life story of being pushed into very stressful circumstances and essentially left to fend for himself? yeah. yeah. because im deranged
"the cactus' name is karla," marius says at the next meeting, spraying the cactus with a mist bottle. "be nice to her or else im biting you."
who declares it a "therapy cactus"? aka who realizes that literally EVERYBODY else on the team is, one way or another, projecting themselves and/or their desires onto the PLANT???
luke. luke does. luke has the habit of dissociating and spiraling at any given moment when he encounters anything even ADJACENTLY related to what hes going through (again, sr aquarium date, luke u were just looking at the jellyfish, WHY R U GETTING DEPRESSED PHILOSOPHICAL OVER LIFESPANS???? SIR, GET HELP.....), so like lol he can clock that shit in from a mile away because hes the worst offender of that too
he doesnt bring it up of course. i mean, im sure he thinks about it because it's just the right kind of shithead move to pull just in case the others try to push him around again but mc gets mad at him when he goes agent scary at the rest of the boys so okaaayyyy he'll retaliate against getting dunked on in a more...civil way. so he doesnt bring it up. he also doesnt bring it up because...
well, if it makes them happy, then it makes him happy. thats all that matters to him
"keep making them all happy, yeah?" luke absentmindedly says to the cactus one day. "i heard you guys can live for a hundred years."
the cactus, of course, does not reply.
mc gets very into taking care of karla. pls expect many conversations where the boys are talking about the "cactus" (theyre talking about themselves) and mc is just like "okay im 90% sure this is a metaphor, you guys aint slick, but i like this cactus very much and thats true whether it's a metaphor or not."
all the boys: //PLEADING EMOJI WITH HEARTS
thanks for making me go insane over a cactus, Book. it's 8am here.

Toba used to just chew that off
Baki did that mantis hit you in the head too hard?

I got this and a husky plushy yesterday for myself so I'm pretty excited.
Tumblr media
Yesterday in whole was kinda poor. Bf screwed up date plans which is frustrating bc I can't ever rely on him to just plan a date without messing up something crucial. I really would like to just relax. Then at one point he just grabbed my chair and pushed me bc he was upset and felt guilty. I explained to him I view that as assault and if he does it again I will defend myself . So he tried to intimidate me by glaring me down which didn't work. He snapped out of whatever ptsd zone he was in and realized what he was doing so he walked off for a minute to calm down. But it made me sad. I thought we were past this. Not that I'm horribly worried. He flat out told me about an injury that would kill him and weak points hes developed some of which ive accidentally hit before and sent him to the ground bc a life of fighting wears on ya. It's at the point that I'm pretty confident I can take care of things if he gets worse or flashbacks. But I'd rather not. We ended up just going shopping and grabbing lunch. He cried about what happened later. I didn't care which I dont know if that's nice but it's honest. He's gonna call his psychiatrist this week when she's back in office to up the anxiety med he just started bc if he's still flipping to dissociative like aggression when anxious then it's not working well enough. In general hes still too tight wound. It's been better though. This is the only incident with me in 2 months and incidents with others has gone down drastically especially if he doesn't perceive me in danger. Today I'm waiting on my new futon we got so we can start spending weeks at my house as opposed to all his. Hopefully more calm today

Hi, me again. I have more fun facts.
Did you know that if you eat two hundred finely crushed apple seeds it will kill you. This is due to apple seeds containing amygdalin which is a cyanogenic glycoside composed of cyanide and sugar, that when metabolized degrades into hydrogen cyanide. A lethal dose of which will kill you within minutes.
Did you know that when people are crucified they usually die from asphyxiation because the way their bodies are hung makes it almost impossible to breathe unless they physically hold themselves up instead of just hanging there, and after some many hours it gets to be to much, resulting in oxygen deprivation, unconsciousness, and death.
Did you know that according to some research, a human head may remain conscious for up to 30 seconds after decapitation.
Did you know that a good portion of spiders shed their exoskeletons occasionally, so when you happen to come across a "dead" spider, there's a good chance that it's just an empty husk and there is another, slightly bigger spider nearby.
Did you know that there are several species of mushroom-like fungus that implant their spores into insects, creating a kind of zombie, that will lose its mind, wander off, die, and then it’s corpse will be used as fuel for the next generation of fungus.
Did you know that dogs love squeaky toys because the sound mimics small animal's cries of agony after being bitten.
Also on a more lighthearted note after those slightly disturbing facts, when I first got my cats they would claw at the carpet outside a closed door when they wanted to get in a room and the ended up destroying a lot of carpets that way so I trained them to scratch the door instead which is a much better alternative. Plus it’s like they are knocking on the door which I find really cute. Also my female cat had a favourite toy when she was a kitten, it was a small gray mouse filled with catnip called Mr De-Mouse and she would growl at anyone who got close to her when she had Mr De-Mouse in case they would try to take him away from her. She would sometimes play fetch with him bringing him to me to throw and then bringing him back once I threw him, it was adorable.
Also I hope you are doing okay, I’m sending you lots of virtual love. Have a nice day and remember to stay hydrated.
I did know the apple thing bc my friend used to think that fact was hilarious to the point he emailed it to our teachers kgkf i am also well versed in tje fungus fact bc me and my friend saw a video of an ant becoming a zombie and got convinced that the same fungus could evolve into making bigger animals and eventually human zoombies as well. So for several years we were sire the zombie apocalypse would happen just like in the last of us. I started going to the gym bc i was so sure i would have to protect my loved ones from zombies. The gym!!! Insane!! Fun times.
That crufication fact is so cool. I dont know how but i want to use it someday. Whether it be in real life or in writing. I didnt know how long the head could stay alive but Atrocity guide on youtube recently made a cool ass video aboit human head decaptitation. OH ANd another cool youtuber as well. I love both of their videos. Lemme see if i can find them
https://youtu.be/IZ2YEESTQUI
I cant link the other video but its the latest by Jacob Geller. Neither of the videos have gore dw
I didnt know the dog fact thats kinda sad but it also makes sense. Lil doggos) :
Ur cat sounds so cute 🥺🥺🥺 im just imaginign hearing lil cat knocks omg. Mr De-mouse is a great name btw. Oogoggh having cats sounds so good. Ive never had pets. Thanks mdude 💙🐳 i hope u have a good day too
Tumblr media
Dont worry dude. When i say dissociation is slowing my response time down i mean that i got triggered into a catatonic dissociation state today. And when i dissociate i can go in and out of beibg grounded and dissociated for many Many hours. So i am literally physically struggling to move in any way including writing ofc. So having fun facts to think about while laying still is helping tons instead of thiniing of bad things. Grounding myself enough to write a few sentences doesnt hurt me, it just takes a while. At most the dissociation is giving me a headache

rape/traumatized lesbian anon here. yeah i think my most recent encounter with a man is more clearly assault or rape (the "i thought you wanted it" guy) because that's the one i vaguely remember asking to stop, he told me he couldn't stop and i got a pregnancy and hiv scare as a result (took plan b, got tested for hiv and other dangerous stds, turns out everything's fine and i wasnt pregnant either). but the first guy i was with was more of a manipulative lying sadist, he knew i was in a vulnerable situation and used that to take advantage of me :( i actually realized i was truly penis repulsed through that interaction, i was really grossed out and would dissociate all the way through like being on autopilot and mentally somewhere else. we had several encounters and eventually even being on autopilot was difficult so i started giving excuses as to avoid the most repulsive acts. he showed a lot of red flags like revealing to me he had previously assaulted girls and using me to cheat on his girlfriend and telling me "he was afraid I'd accuse him of rape" because i have psychosis. but then again i was in a very bad living situation and went along with his advances because i had no one to give me emotional support. he introduced me to kink like cutting/knifeplay and watersports and he choked me until i couldnt breathe and he wanted to recreate my csa (like replicating the scenario i was in when i was molested). i dont really know if i could call this one rape because i didnt say no and there were various encounters which i initiated sometimes, so i just consider it to have been sexual abuse.
i cant comment on the other situations but it sounds like this guy is very abusive and taking advantage of you, knowing you're vulnerable due to having mental illnesses and facing CSA & i assume also rape. many abusers do that and will guilt & manipulate u throughout so that u feel like it was on u somehow. some of my story is also similar to yours and honestly w people like that u just gotta cut them out bc theyll keep manipulating and taking advantage of u until they no longer want to for whatever reason.

i dont really have any followers but i wanted to talk about my experience as a system with osdd-1(whether a or b is blurry bc we dont have the support to get diagnosed currently but we are working on it).
TW: talk of dissociation and minor talk of SH
most of our alters are very non-distinct from each other. most identify with the body and our chosen name, so knowing who is fronting can be very difficult. is it the mikey who exists to do school work or is it the mikey who has the super intense sensory needs? the personalities of these alters are also very similar with only a few changes between them. because of the similarities between these alters we often only recognize a switch because of the dissociation that happens during our average switches.
but there are a few alters who are distinct. these alters are our main protector and our main persecutor. it is normally easy to tell if one of these two are fronting because of the change in behavior and overall personality. dave(protector+trauma holder) is decently social. he will often seek out our friends if he thinks we need help and enjoys playing games and chatting with them. our persecutor( who i will call T because i am not sure if he wants his name to be online) is the opposite. if he is fronting he is actively avoiding any and all conversations. he has a lot of gender dysphoria and he hates people perceiving him when he is fronting. he is also non-human, which means he has other issues with the body as well. T is an alter who existed before he took on the name T and the memories of his source(he is a fictive). he used to identify with our chosen name, but he has never identified with the body in anyway. he uses his hatred of the body as a way to justify s3lf h4rm. he committed acts of SH before and after he took on the identity of T, and the memories of those times belong to him.
you might be wondering, how are you so aware of the memories of your alters? thats where the osdd 1b comes in. there is no amnesia between alters and switches. all of our memories exist as a 'collective consciousness'(i saw another system describe it that way and i agree). when an alter switches in the memories of the last alter that was out are very blurry and dont always make sense, but if they reach out the the collective memory bank they can easily access them. accessing the memories of other alters is weird. because i remember what they were thinking and what they were doing but im remembering it from someone else's point of view.
before we realized that we were a system this was super confusing. "why do i remember hating that food? its my favorite!" or "i dont know why i did those things, i dont relate to the thought process i had before doing that at all". even though we are more aware of what memories belongs to who now, memories can still get confusing between all the alters that identify as mikey.
im done with my explanations for now. we might come back and talk more about our experience later. im sure dave will want to explain his role in the system at some point. if we can convince T to do it he might, he has been a lot calmer since he split into himself. the others probably wont, since they dont really view their experiences as separate enough from each other to warrant explaining their purpose online.

been trying to nap for almost 2 hours but i gues im just not done . so much below cut. mostly incoherent and unspaced.
for one thing im just like. i dont know how to word this but like if your hr....... you should do. that. literally got told i wasnt approved to keep working after i move bc i didnr work all my hours last month but its like ya i have medical problems thwre on file and i EVEN used to get days off w fmla for it and like. few months ago i requested to have my hours lowered so i could miss less work and they were like. no bc you need to start working what you have first like...im asking for a solution to the problem of i cant work this many hours and in order to let me be allowed to work less. first i habe to "prove" i can work more. like that makes sense
and its lime my supervisor has been teying to figure out who exactly handles rhe approval all MONTH and its this new hr lady ive never met before and since his supervisor refused to tell him that its like. you know probably no one bothered to even inform her a little bit abt my entire situation and its just.. why as an hr person would you make that decision without speaking to me first? it is so easy? so easy to fire someone after 6 years who has a clean no violations record and is just very sick? and parently no one even knows if im "fired" or "quit" anyway so idek if i can apply for unemployment i gotta look into it ig
and its like my mom im so pissed at bc i guess she was talking her dr and telling him ant this other dr i saw once who wouldnt do testing just said my pain fake go home. and her dr got pissed on my behalf so cool but literally we wouldnt be here right now if she had taken my health seriously as a child instead fo trying to cure me w home remedies of pouring peroxide steaight into my ear and leaving it for 5 minutes and stuff. ya the sizzling sound means its killing the infection yeah SURE and im gonna be so psychotic whilw im there too bc im like barely. coherent rn but the first time someone screams at me im either gonna deck them or dissociate (bad timeline) or they may even push me into an episode. and its going to be sooo funny bc rhey thonk hallucinating all the time and sometimes be in g delisional is just normal. everyone hears their name being called from a dismbodied voice multiple times a day yanno normal :)
and theres like more but im getting less and less coherent. im just tired.
edition with more coherency: in short i been like on the Verge of breaking down for the last couple months with my only hope being if i could keep my job i could move back out after just a couple months and now i may very well be stuck living with my parents at least until sister graduates high school bc skerples doesnt wanna move in w me while she still has to deal w our parents. which is 2 more years unless she emancipates herself (well she is already getting a job anyway but i can barely support myself let alone a minor is the point and my parents like. own a house and i dont so something tells me the courts wont wanna give me custody of her)
but like im fine. im fine i can take it one day at a time and im FINE im just. tired and angry and. stuff.

my abuser abused me. after 10 years i broke my silence and told my childhood friend. i didnt want justice or anything bc i didnt want to destroy my family, i just wanted to confide in my closest friend. she immediately ran around town and told everyone. 2 years later, i found out random people knew about my trauma and were threatening my abuser as well as on the verge of involving my family. so i lied. and said i lied about the abuse. a lot of people in town hate me. ex-childhood friend hates me and victimizes herself; everyone takes her side. my abuser hates me and rather than be grateful that i took one for the team (since we both know what he did) he uses it against me. tells me he hates me because “you know what you did” on party chat in front of the handful of people who still speak to me.
i can never confide in anyone about this due to cultural reasons. i’m stuck living in a looped hell. people think im some mentally ill wacko who went off the deep end and tried to drag innocent people down with me. i dont do drugs. i dont drink. i dont have an escape. i dont have friends anymore. suicide is not an option. confiding in people is no longer an option. coping mechanisms dont work anymore. self-harm never worked and just made me feel stupid. moving out/running away is not an option. therapy didnt help, neither did meds.
i think the most painful thing is the blatant fact that i will never truly be happy.
i’m expected to get married and have children. i want to get married and have children. but how am i supposed to let my husband lay a finger on me without screaming and crying? how am i supposed to explain that the reason i breakdown everytime he compliments me is because nobody has ever paid attention to me before? how am i supposed to be a good wife and have a good job when im completely talentless and stupid because i spent my whole childhood in a locked room neglected? how am i supposed to a healthy partner when the very thought of him becoming slightly annoyed with me or ignoring me is enough to send me into a psychotic breakdown? how am i supposed to explain why im so mentally ill? why i have psychosis, ptsd, depression, anxiety, adhd, and borderline personality disorder. why im constantly dissociating. how am i supposed to explain why im so physically ill? my heart, my blood sugar, my ulcers, the migraines, the potential cysts, crohns disease, the fact that i can hardly eat without throwing up, the fact that my body has dealt with so much stress that its already giving up at 20 years old. i could keep going, but i wont.
its getting hard to feel anything anymore. i’m no longer in touch with reality. when i try to think about myself my appearance, my name and all the things that once defined me do not come up. im hardly human at this point. i wake up, eat, stare at the wall for 8 hours, eat again, maybe do some homework, and play xbox for a few hours before my abuser inevitably makes a comment and i get triggered and leave before i breakdown in front of everyone.
“just tell ur future husband!!” cant, its not that simple, im not from the west.
“find a supportive/understanding man!!” see above plus: no man is going to put up with a complete emotional trainwreck who can hardly function: thats a receipe for creating a cheater.
“find a friend group that your abuser doesnt hang out with!!” cant, everyone hates me, this friend group is the most successful one ive ever had, im scared of making new bonds, theyll all leave eventually.
“make online friends!!” i have very negative experiences with online friends, id rather not.
“seek professional help!!” already tried, didnt work, they would call the cops if they knew half the shit that happened to me, therapy is not the solution to everything.
“why did u say u lied in the first place...?” bc my abuser going to jail/being confronted by all of this wouldve destroyed my family. i couldnt let that happen.
“why did u expect ur abuser to be understanding and grateful..? they’re an abuser lol...” bc after the whole thing blew up and everyone hated me, we had a mutual agreement and understanding to make it water under the bridge in order to protect our family. guess i was wrong to think he cared about them.
“what do u want me to say then lol... ur not willing to help urself” i cant help myself. “my hands are tied” is the biggest understatement of the century.
this post is not to find my cure. i didnt make this post because i want people in my dms showing me that they’re concerned.
if ur concerned about me harming myself, dont be. you have my 100% guarantee that i will not self-harm or attempt suicide. i gave up on that years ago.
this post is to vent.
this post is for people who are in similar situations as me. people who cant find a way out. people who cant turn to escapes such as drugs. people who protect their abuser whether out of love or for the sake of others.
you’re not the only one. i understand. i know. its hard. you’re drowning. no one will grab your hand no matter how much you reach out. in the rare cases that someone does come you pull away. you’ve lost the best years of your life to trauma and mental illness. it feels like theres no point. nothing helps. nothing works. you’re practically a zombie. you often trigger yourself to cope. you just want the pain to end. you dont want to feel anymore. you want to feel something. you dont want to remember. you want to be loved. you want a sign that you belong here. you want to enjoy life. you want to die. you’re afraid of living but you’re afraid of death.
i’m so sorry you’re hurt. i hope you find peace and salvation in a safe manner. i hope you heal and enjoy life to the fullest.
dont really know how to end this. i hope we’ll all be okay. i hope everyone whos been traumatized can find peace on earth. i hope breathing can start to feel a little easier. sorry this is so long. take care of yourselves.

things ive already established r on this post
besties this got so fucking long but heres a giant ramble about cherri
okay so. there are huge differences betwn cherri as a hyperviolent drac hunter and cherri as a friend of the four and cherri as the girls mentor. with the first one he was 17 and desperate to distance himself from his upbringing so he went all in on Being A Killjoy. he was always one of the first ppl to rush into a fight and he fought hard. he blew up his fuckin hand with that attitude. and all the while he was just racking up more unaddressed trauma and eventually he ran away from that, too. giving himself radiation poisoning was more appealing than facing his problems.
so as a teenager/young adult hes kind of constantly in a panicked state. hes scared the people from his past are going to find him and drag him back with them. so he lashes out and he runs away over and over again.
i said in another post that he has some past life shit goin on which usually would give him a connection to the witch that manifests early in life, but with all the stuff hes gone through he has been Preoccupied. he can become oblivious to almost anything that doesnt apply to whatever hes focused on. not in a hyperfocus way its likeeeeee. when u live on survival mode during prolonged periods of stress. hes immune to magic bullshit bc hes too tired and scared.
anyways around his mid-20s he finally has a little more stability (as much as the average person living in the zones can have, that is) and he finally notices that Weird Stuff happens around him. basically: out of my list of Powers People Connected To The Witch Have he has the prophetic dreams/enhanced intuition as well as a form of sensing ghosts where he can see auras and kind of like, echoes of past events in ppls lives. that look like auras. itz complicated and not of utmost importance so im leaving it at that.
anyways thats what makes him start writing poetry. just 4 funsies he'll describe his weird experiences and embellish them to make em pretty. just as a casual hobby n all that.
he would forget fun ghoul in between the times they ran into each other but its pretty easy to be reminded of who fun ghoul is. the most insane 10 year old cherri has ever met. cherri isnt a brother figure to ghoul. hes just. his friend that happens to be more than twice his age. its whatever lmao
to cherri, ghoul is kinda like a stray animal he keeps seeing. which is hilarious. ghoul actually goes and finds him to introduce him to jet when they start running together, and cherri meets party and kobra (spark and birdie at the time) when he drives the four of them to a party. because he has a truck hell yeah. so now instead of one stray animal he has, like, a feral cat colony that he drives around occasionally. i have no real-life human relationship equivalent to them because irl if some guy that is not related to any of you and isnt even a childhood or family friend and theyre hanging out with you? they are usually not a safe person lmao. but this is my fantasy land and im too stubborn to change anyones birth years even though ghoul being born in 2004 makes everything really hard to make not creepy.
so yeah hes a casual somewhat friend of the fab four. hed probably get more and more concerned as they got famous. the beginnings of any sort of protective feelings, awww :) that sets him up for becoming the girls mentor.
OH FUCK. THE GIRL..... i think if i was in my late 20s and i heard that the gang of 13-17 year olds had adopted a 5 year old kid i would go bananas. what the fuck. it is a LONG while before cherri meets her. but he has the strongest affection for ghoul (if you could even call it that) and ghoul absolutely adores the girl and swings her around under her arms like a cat to show her off to cherri and its very endearing and the girl is sweet and funny so its easy to be around her. and (unfortunately) she is somewhat used to interacting with weird easily agitated people so she kinda gives him space. cherri isnt quite the uncle figure the fandom usually makes him (i luv uncle cherri sm but he simply cannot exist in the universe ive created, f), but hes a little similar.
and then the four had to go and pretend to die. lol.
when the girl was kidnapped, fucking everyone who knew her was ready to storm the city then and there. like regardless of how little you knew her, if you had ever met her you would fucking die for her. she is pure childish charisma and shes precious. i love the girl. so cherris immediately on board with whatever plan the four make to get her back. ive already talked abt how it fucked up the girl tho; there was no way to tell her that the four werent actually dead, she sees the building collapse and she shuts down. and cherri has to fight against his instinct to leave the radio station and never come back when he sees an eight year old girl sitting dissociated on the couch. that fucks everyone up.
i just realized i havent talked about literally anyone else at the radio station. i think cherri started lingering around the station bc it was safe and sheltered while also not being a popular spot. there are less kids there (people pass through but its not a hangout spot). he was kind of just hanging around to get away from the heat and noise and dr d took notice. because that man can see ur soul and no one knows if thats literal or not. so theyd chat a few times a day and show pony was the one 2 get him out of his shell a little and also was the first one he mentioned his poetry hobby to. im making this all up right now as im writing bc i dont know anything about LITERALLY any of the ppl associated w the radio like im not even going 2 try with chimp n newsie i do not have the willpower to tackle all that. justttt. cherri pony n D become bros and live 2gether there.
back 2 the regular timeline. the rescue mission happens in 2019. the girl lives at the station until 2023. during that time she is very much depressed and withdrawn and is only happy when the four come to visit. none of the Adults know how to help her so they just keep her safe and cared for and hope she'll open up to them.
she does not. she takes the weird cat thats been hanging around and she runs away.
cherri does not see her for three years. shes still worse for wear in the mental health department and he can see all kinds of visions of what shes been through since the last time he saw her and he fucking hates the ultra vs bc they remind him of his past. he does not want her going down that path but its obvious that she isnt crazy abt the ultraviolence thing either so thats a relief.
they have a kind of tense relationship throughout the comics. he feels like he failed her and that spirals into feeling like he failed the four for not being a good adult to them and fun ghoul for not helping enough when his commune was bombed and all kinds of shit and that irrational thinking mixed with plain old, yknow, caring about the girl, is what makes him take a bullet (laser. whatever) for her.
i was trying to figure out the timing of each of their ghost experiences, but i want both of them to talk to the witch and im just gonna make it like dreams where a whole buncha stuff happens but irl its been like seconds. so its like barely a second while the girl has her Witch Convo and cherri FINALLY gets a straight answer, yes there is weird shit going on with him having powers. he doesnt have any story-significant past lives because im lazy, hes just an old soul. like really fuckin old. the amount of latent life experience and stuff his soul/energy/whatever has picked up along the way makes him VERY noticeable to gods n stuff. he fuckin lights up all the alarms like what the FUCK is that over there. she wasnt rly able to get to him or even properly notice him while he was a kid and a young adult so shes happy to finally see him again. he has a STRONG sense of familiarity with her. they know each other on a wild ass level that he cant really comprehend.
welp thats some more lore I'll have 2 think abt. anywayz
post canon is when he and val get to have the most awkward spiderman meme moment of realizing that they have the same trauma SOOOOO thatz fun lol /s sorry kings i thought it would be fun to give u something fucked up to bond over <3
not much changes in his personality. he has a better understanding of Weird Magic and delights in freaking out the ultra vs but for the most part he returns to his life at the radio station. i love him
THIS GOT SO CRAZY LONG I DID NOT MEAN 2 GO THROUGH EVERY PART OF HIS LIFE LIKE SOME WEIRD CHARACTER STUDY but here we are. this is basically a first draft like almost all of this is subject to change but u gotta start somewhere. so heres my start i love this guy. its probably obvious but i have not read ANY twitterverse killjoys stuff </3 maybe i will someday idk
