My absolute favourite piece of discourse started by the extra content is whether or not Andrew smiles again. Nora says no, however, he’s fictional and whatever happens after the end of the series is just headcanon, regardless of whether or not it’s the author saying it.

Anyway, my not so hot take is that a lot of people (myself included) relate to Andrew. Whether we’re survivors of csa, former/current foster kids or just struggle with mental health in general, a lot of people in the aftg fandom get it and have been in a (maybe not quite so) dark place like Andrew. Part of what makes Andrew fabulous, despite all his horrible actions, is his ending. He’s got Neil, a family, a future and he’s a massive symbol of hope for those of us who relate. So, I think he does learn to smile again, even if it’s a decade later. Because I want to keep that hope that things do get better and it’s possible to heal. It might not be realistic, but neither is anything that happens in the series. One day I want to be happy too, and if I want to project the idea of healing and having a happy family and a good support system onto a five foot tall fictional man I will.

Thinking about how little bodily autonomy Daan possessed his whole life

i think an important part of my recovery is my textile hobbies. the hands-on work is enough to keep me grounded, but not so much that i cannot process emotions during. it's like my breadmaking, i put the emotions into the string and something beautiful emerges.

it's the closest i get to a meditative state. it's let me cope with whatever repressed abuse happened this time of year, in a healthier way than scrubbing my skin raw and losing my shit all the time. instead, the fear is only a thrum in my veins, and i have a strawberry bucket hat to show for it.

Things that drive me insane is when ppl want sam to be the innocent normal one with less trauma and in the process completely brush off azazel's entire csa coded storyline + demons trying to kidnap and groom sam. Sorry it's just kinda sorta upsetting when you take Sam's feeling of being unclean and dirty and needing to run away to establish some ounce of control in his life and make it only about john abusing dean. It's kinda wretched actually.

Facts about intrafamiliar sexual abuse, COCSA, and CSA.

• COCSA can happen with children of any age, but potential incidents can increase as children enter puberty and adolescence.

• 40% of Children who were sexually abused the perpetrator was older and or more powerful

• 5% of children have been affected by sibling sexual abuse.

• It is one of the lowest disclosed forms of sexual abuse, meaning the statistics around this are likely to be higher.

• More than 90% of abusers are people children know, love and trust.

Severely disappointed in this fandom. The lack of respect for actors and crew members is absolutely disgusting. To now also making this fandom extremely unsafe for others is abhorrent. Placing works on a site tagged to be positive for a pairing only to actually be triggering especially geared to CSA against a canonically gay character and aiding in the stereotypes that older gay men are predators is unbelievably damaging, cruel, and triggering. People should be so ashamed of themselves and yet they won’t be. There is little we can do about the situation unfortunately, but we can work to make certain spaces safe starting with the blogs on here.

Please know that this blog is a safe space for any one of you. I am here to support you and am here if you need to reach out to someone. I know this content is going to be especially triggering for others so please reach out if you need support.

Much love ❤️

ACTUALLY child abuse isn't sad and serious. i mean it's sad and serious but it's not JUST those things. it's also HILARIOUS. it's SILLY. it's illogical it makes no fucking sense! it can seem so surreal that it makes you laugh at how ridiculous it is. and child abuse belongs in happy stories, CSA belongs in silly stories too !! because CSA doesn't prevent you from being silly or having a good silly time and im. sooo normal about this. im not angry. i'm soooooo normal.

“ why do some people call out or talk about dumb and lesser fandom drama but haven’t spoken about those anonymous fics”

I beg you with all my fucking heart to muster up two braincells and use them

I haven’t gotten this hate directly but I keep seeing posts either saying it or ppl having it said to them

You are claiming to understand what’s so disgusting and vile abt what the person who wrote those did but you’re here not taking two seconds to think hmm maybe the dumb and lesser stuff is easier to talk about for more people than those fics?

Lemme throw some bullet points and break it down into little words for some of these absolute fucking idiots:

• you’re always gonna find more people willing to talk about the little discourse than the harder to talk about topics especially in fandom spaces

That doesn’t make them a bad person for it because

1. Everyone has their boundaries

2. Everyone has their own shit and no one should be having to sit there and tell you they’re traumatised to get you to back off

3. This is again a fandom space by not talking about it they aren’t disadvantaging or not spreading awareness abt or supporting any causes by making a post saying what others have already said a thousand times over which is that those fics were a disgusting thing to do

4. “ oh but you’ve pointed out racism/homophobia/misogyny and this thing and that” again see all those points but also like this is like someone saying don’t be racist and then someone going oh wow so they talked about how ppl shouldn’t be racist but not about how ppl shouldn’t be sexist so they must mean being sexist is acceptable

5. Again it’s not like everyone was super quiet about it like I saw all the outrage on here and it was being served toward that anonymous writer from BOTH sides, no one on either side as far as I can tell agrees with that shit so stop saying shit like oh they were a buddie fan

So fucking what? I’m sure i have the same music taste as some murderers but that doesn’t make me a murderer? Get a grip honest to fucking god

6. Also that fucker was living for the attention that’s why they kept making more with mocking bios and shit

That’s all the angry rant for today guys🫡

My (totally) original anti-psych take is that minors shouldn’t be strip searched in mental institutions without warning. The first time I went they didn’t tell me they were going to strip search me they just led me to a room and told me after I was in the room that I had to take my clothes off?

that's appalling and I know it happens to so many others too. psych wards constantly dehumanize the people in there. strip searching is a practice that needs to be abolished I'm serious (especially of minors!!!). there is not a single situation I can think of where I believe a strip search would be justified, it's violating and dehumanizing. I'm so sorry that happened to you

I recommend not looking at this if/ when regressed!

This is a little rant for littles & caregivers who struggle with hyper-sexuality, sexual flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, etc!

Tw!!: mentions of age play, very brief mention of csa(?), intrusive thoughts while regressed.

This is sfw, I do not personally understand/ participate in any nsfw/ age play, I am a minor.

The day that more of the Agere community is a bit more accepting to people whose regression isn’t completely and 100 percent “innocent” all the time without getting accused of having an age play kink or “sexualizing” age regression, is the day I rest.

As someone who experiences intrusive and impulsive thoughts that I cannot control, it sucks. I cannot just “stop thinking like that”, the more you try and repress those icky thoughts, the more they frequent. Repressing something is never good.

Also, as someone who’s been through some (brief) sexual experiences when I was little plus, was gifted unrestricted internet access—Sometimes when I happen to be regressed and I remember that or I’m experiencing/ reliving a bad moment—my body gets confused and reacts sometimes. And you know what? That’s okay.

Sometimes our brains can be mean. It sucks, I know. But it’s not your fault. It’s something that happens, it’s natural. You’re not gross for your mind getting confused sometimes and feeling things without wanting to. You’re not gross for reacting how you reacted to past trauma. You’re not gross for your body reacting to something involuntary. You’re not gross for your mind making up something you don’t agree with. You’re not gross if you think of adult things while regressed involuntarily/without wanting to.

Remember lovebug, your regression is yours.

It doesn’t have to fit a specific mold, and you’re not “icky” or “gross” for experiencing something you can’t control.

You still deserve to heal the way you choose to heal, regardless of what other people say.

— Take care of yourself lovelies!

What is this thing you keep posting abt cause I need to know what the religious trauma gay boys are all about

it’s a manga called make the exorcist fall in love!! the religious trauma gay boys are a bit more of side characters (i went in thinking they were the main relationship LOL) but!! they’re still very well explored and integral to the plot in their own rights. just a heads up if u decide to read it that it is Not a BL if that is all ur after
