#grooming implied cw

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

finding confirmation that kirell was indeed 24 in the original game, and her being a high schooler when she died in argo's choice was a bizarre retcon, is Validating for a number of reasons (i KNEW she was a depressed mafia NEET. i FUCKIN knew it). it also explains philio's complete and total nonexistence in AC, because i'm pretty sure they realized what an Incredibly bad look their previously established relationship would be, and i am now ten times more irritated about that than ever lmao

CW: Implied Grooming

Image Description: Two panel digital Rise of the TMNT fan comic. Panel one is a close up of Leonardo, tears in his eyes, frustratedly yelling "You're not mature for your age, Mikey!" Panel two shows that Leo is standing behind Michelangelo, speaking firmly at him with his hand out. Mikey is shadowed in the foreground, hiding on his hoodie and looking off the side, also tearing up. Leo says "You're a victim!" /End Description

I wish you understood that I'm not telling you this to infantilize you. I'm telling you as someone who's been there before, that this isn't right. I'm telling you to please listen to me because you're being taken advantage of, even if you don't see it.

Please don't assume you're an "exception to grooming" or an "exception to being manipulated and sexualized by older friends." From someone who was convinced they were that exception one time before. That I was special or mature.

Proof that minors are being groomed by PRATS.

This user thinks that the age of consent should be abolished, and that children of any age should be allowed to be in sexual relationships with adults and thinks you can’t be youth lib if you disagree with this. Everyone with a brain knows that, yes, pubescent minors can consent, TO EACH OTHER.

There’s nothing wrong with teenagers having sex, but it’s not healthy for them mentally, to engage in sexual relationship with grown ass adults even if it’s “consensual” as the consent that teenagers give to adults is usually the result of prior grooming (I should know because that happened with me) and there’s countless reliable studies and victim word of mouth recounts proving this.

Children can’t consent to adults, simple as that and hope that “AAM” radqueers realise this and get help.

This account also thinks that “cracker” is just as bad as a slur for white people as the n-word is for black people even though cracker doesn’t have the horrible history behind it like the n-word does, so yeah there’s that…

Conclusion: Radqueers are groomers, pass it on.

Have a ramble about my Durge and his issues with sex because why not

TW for mentions of sexual assault and abuse, attempted incest, grooming and mentions of underage stuff; nothing is graphic but it does get dark so please don't read if you don't feel like you're in the right space for it

Strike is a very sexual guy as I'm sure you've had the chance to notice, but honestly, his relationship with sex and sexuality is complicated to a degree that he completely refuses to even acknowledge.

His Urges and Bhaal-given 'Ectasy of Murder' make it practically impossible for him to seperate between his own desires and those of Bhaal. He was way too young when he first got them, practically when he hit puberty, and then he was immediately encouraged to 'explore' and 'experiment' with either corpses, other Bhaalists, or still living victims. Sceleritas was the one to encourage and 'guide' him and Strike stopped feeling sick about the new need that overcame him whenever he killed well. He had to practically gaslight himself into seeing it as a gift from Father, or he would dislike it, and you can't afford to dislike something your god wants when you're his Chosen.

He also doesn't really know how to say no to sex. The way I try to write him is in a similar way of how society expects a cishet guy to always be down to fuck, except it's cranked up to a thousand - he is Bhaal's seed, scion, his breeder - there is no reason for why he would ever want to say no, is there? If you asked him for any reason he could think of for him not wanting to have sex, he genuinely wouldn't known the answer.

He said no once though, only once - when the temple attempted to match him with Orin once they were in their late teens. Orin would've pushed through with it even though she was obviously less than enthusiastic, but Strike was the one to push her away that time. It wasn't the incest aspect of it that turned him off, tbh; that really isn't a value the temple of Bhaal would consider abnormal, but Strike just... Orin was always the only relationship he's had where he never felt like it could turn sexual at any moment - they've bathed together, they slept cuddled up on the same bed, they straddled eachother when beating the shit out of the other and none of it was ever sexual, for either of them. But that was the first time he refused Bhaal's will and also the first time he lied to Him - he made up that he didn't think Bhaal's blood should get even more diluted and defiled than it was in Orin's veins. After that, Orin never forgave him for thinking he was above her (as she interpreted it) and their relationshio only strained more when Strike met Gortash a few years later.

Gortash is a whole other can of worms that I don't think I have to get into right now, but Strike's religious upbringing makes every sign of weakness, such as signs of softness or affection (for an enemy, especially) a sin and having sex reduces the sinfulness of it. Holding hands, kissing? Unforgivable. Intertwining fingers during sex, or cuddling right after while they're both still chasing their breath? Not ideal, but it can happen. Not the worst thing. It's not like he was doing something intimate just for the sake of intimacy, you know?

He's very hypersexual now as an adult because of all the above mentioned things combined, and when I get to Godsbound (my bg3 timeline fic has a name now btw!) He likes to joke and flirt and fuck literally whoever, that doesn't change end after tadpoling, he still has no idea how to be close to anyone without it being sexual but also he is so horrifically touchstarved that he wakes up screaming if he doesn't have a body next to him to hold onto it. I would like to explore how much of an actual issue that is for him, especially when he has forgotten all of the excuses he told himself through the years and the decades of religious fanaticism. But then again, he does tend to push his problems away to 'deal with later', so who knows.

lesson 3

shouldnt have had nick over ig!!

[lockandkeyhyena]

some more exploratory sketches. while the story itself focuses on the aftermath of the abuse, i wanted to get down my ideas for the dynamic that occurred during the abuse.

alvin is a very self-pitying character, he uses his low self esteem to manipulate others into doing things for him because they feel sorry for him. he genuinely believes he deserves to get whatever he wants because he had a sad childhood and has convinced himself of his own excuses. he believes what he’s saying in the final image, because to face the truth of his actions would be too much to bear. however he’s more scared of getting caught than at the concept that he’s hurting someone.

he would frequently guilt trip ethan into doing whatever he wanted, followed up by rewarding him with good grades and gifts. ethan really looked up to him and viewed him as one of the very few trustworthy adult figures in his life.

Are there any fics touching upon the topic about Liu and Dick Grayson? I have read fics that deal with what happened with Tarantula and Mirage, but I haven't stumbled upon a fic that focused on what Liu did to Dick.

don’t really have any specific interests but if you have any thoughts on that then i’ll def read it because i love everything you write 💕

-🌪️

Aw thank you 💛 I'll expand on it if I get any good ideas for the dynamic but in the meantime, have some thoughts:

Very good guy for your mom on paper. You know better through first hand experience why he's awful but no one believes you and it's so frustrating so all you can do is be a complete brat to him

He loves it. While I'm usually a brat tamer John fan, for this specific dynamic I think he's more a brat enthusiast through and through. Likes how much you seem to hate him, sneaks pics of you pouting at him all the time. The folder in his phone is locked up so tight you'd think it's porn. May as well be, way he uses it

Especially loves how much your little facade falls apart when he gets you moaning on his cock

But don't get me wrong, when you step too far out of line he's not afraid to discipline you - but not in ways that are "fun." Instead, he'll threaten to make you find a different place to stay when you're on break from uni, or he'll decrease you're stipend for a month because of you wanna act too big for your britches he'll treat you like an adult. Just see how you like it

Also loves fucking your mom loud as hell when you're home because he knows you can hear how she begs for it (and because he insists on doing your laundry for you when you're home - just bring helpful, earning those brownie points because some day you're all gonna be a happy family, right sweetheart? - and he can see just how worked up it gets you, stealing whiffs of your soaked panties when no one can stop him)

Could definitely hammer nails with how hard he gets every time you call him John and your mom gets annoyed "can't you just call him dad? He's been around long enough. Certainly acts the part better than your father ever did."

[bigsillyyyy]

Looking back on it all, I feel horrible. So many warnings that I ignored, for love? Really?

For love.

I trusted someone i barely knew, or remembered. I did it originally to keep that fucking satan away, to make him mad.

To be told it was for love. That he loved me.

I ignored the one rule I had.

"Don't trust strangers online."

If I just said no. If i just stopped being a fucking pushover and said NO.

I wouldnt feel this sick feeling thinking about him, about how

I wouldnt have to know things, I wouldnt have to remember it.

If you SOMEHOW find this? Fuck you. I fucking hate you so much.

I hate that i loved you while we were a thing.

I hate that you never asked before dumping your shit on me.

I hate that you begged for us to be together.

What i hate most? That you still think we could be a thing again.

[wickjump]

Is a ship between a 16 old and a 18 a proship?

alright everybody let’s play ‘why asking wick about shipping morality isn’t a good idea’! you have 3 options:

1) my morals concerning fictional relationships were twisted by adults when i was a child and untwisting them has been a long journey i have not yet completed

2) people have different ideas about if 16 and 18 is a good or bad age gap so i don’t even get a straight answer when i ask others so i have zero idea

3) both 1 and 2 lmfao

CORRECT!!! the answer is #3!! your prize is… please ask someone else!!!

My apologies for the constant posting BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT TO SHARE MY RE8 SELF INSERT....I love him very much !!!!!

This... turned out darker than expected ^^"

Tw for implied CSA, bulimia, purging/vomiting, self starvation/refusing to eat, trauma, gross food, food trauma, food issues, psychological torture, obsession with control!

☽️Reblogs appreciated!☾️

The man who spoke in hands had his ways of getting want he wanted. Rather that be sexual pleasure or an unnecessary experiment. And Lune never got what they wanted, rather it be their consent or their opinion heard.

But Lune was rebellious.

So there were punishments.

The man who spoke in hands would purposefully only serve a dish he knew Lune had a negative reaction to. For whatever reason, the 'creature' would rather starve themself than consume it.

So Lune stopped being rebellious.

They gave in.

There was a time though, when the man who spoke in hands realized that a self inflicted punishment was not a punishment at all. He couldn't let Lune get their way by obeying him, and therefore getting served their regular meal.

So he decided if he gave the food, they would eat it.

...

After three days, Lune eventually gave up their protest, choking diwn the disgusting mush in order to not die of hunger.

And later that night, they ended up vomiting it up. That was one of the first times Lune had experienced vomiting.

It was freeing. Something... about not having that in them anymore, was librarianship to them. Like the man had not gotten his way. Like Lune won.

And so that day, food became another reminder of their lack of control. Lune needed food, but they didn't want it.

As years passed, and after they were taken in by Lust, it was still a thing that haunted them.

Anytime they had to sit down and eat, their mind immediately associated it with punishment, even if the food itself was fine. Anytime they had to eat it, their mind associated it with a lack of control.

Thry didn't like that, even if they didn't fully understand it.

And one time, Lust made refried beans, which, absolutely set Lune off into what could be described as a full blown meltdown. Because they didn't want that, but they didn't know why so they didn't communicate why.

So Lust was scrambling to try and calm down Lune, who eventually fled from the dinner table to the bathroom. The bathroom was a safe place, with water and privacy.

Running the bathtub wasn't an option though, they hadn't figured out how to turned it on. So that was just making their day more shitty.

Eventually they just started sobbing. Everything was bad today, everything! The food, the lack of swimming, lack of control, everything!

And then they felt sick again.

And that reminded Lune of an old trick they learned with the man.

And that they hadn't used it here, because there wasn't a reason to rebel again Lust, he was just trying to help...

But this helped too.

Lune had mildly calmed down, and crawled over to the toilet, peering inside.

Lust wasn't even in their thoughts by the time they did it. Raised two webbed skeleton fingers. The time they started purging. Amd even if they had been thinking of their current caretaker, this wasn't anything against Lust.

This was against food.

— I really enjoy thinking about Billy’s character as he’s presented in canon and that for the sole reason that Billy, as a character, is very failed. It’s shown again and again that Billy’s action are nurture rather than nature and there has to be a reason for that, and the reason presented repeatedly, is the idea of failure.

Billy is failed by every adult in his life, he has no meaningful connections to any teenagers his age and despite constantly being around adults trained to see the signs of abuse, withdrawal, whatever, there is staggering evidence that Billy is also incredibly lonely.

This doesn’t take away from his actions but now there is a cause behind them. Billy doesn’t lash out for no reason, in fact, Billy is even mildly playful in situations where he could easily be annoyed and turn that annoyance into violence (ie Halloween Party). He routinely shows fight and fawn, it’s actually quite interesting the ways in which he shows these different responses to stressful situations. While fight is his immediate reaction, the way he shows fawn shines a much darker light on the unknown aspects of him. Billy only fawns for his father and older women. His father is an obvious, he’s scared of him and what he will do to him, so he shows his underbelly and does what he can to get away unscathed. His fawning towards older women? A different story entirely.

Billy’s relationship with the mothers of Hawkins is obviously an inappropriate one, he’s sixteen upon meeting them and seventeen when he dies, he’s the same age as their children, but Billy is never seen as a child. It’s actually another common theme, both in the show itself and in fandom, that Billy Hargrove is seen as an adult for both his actions and the reasons behind those actions. If we’re putting Billy on trial, he’s going on trial for the wrong things. Billy needs to be perceived as a child for his action to make sense.

Billy wasn’t born racist, he was taught racism, Billy wasn’t born mean and angry, he was taught to be mean and angry. This circles back to how his actions are more nurture than anything. He’s raised by an angry, abusive and racist man, with very little control over his life that isn’t being ridiculed by that man in some way, there is no other way for him to have turned out.

Billy is seen from a very modern perspective, with things like the internet and social media at our fingertips but we have to also realise that Billy does not have that. His world is incredibly small, especially making a move from a large city like San Diego to somewhere as small and secluded as Hawkins. Not to mention, Billy mimics Neil. Look at his actions towards Max, while they aren’t good, these are not just actions he does at random, these are taught.

He was not taught to show anger or annoyance or fear in healthy ways, he was shown that anger is violence and that violence is the only way he will ever receive respect because that is how Neil takes the respect (which is just fear, let’s be real here) he wants from Billy. It’s no surprise whatsoever that Billy does any of the things he does because he cannot imagine a world that doesn’t revolve around anger and posturing and violence and that doesn’t make him a horrible character, that just makes him a sad one.

It’s never driven home enough that Billy is only sixteen. For years of his life he was alone with a man who hurt, degraded and abused him who then up and left the place he’s lived his whole life with the implication of that being Billy’s fault. There is no reality where Billy, who has been proven to not have very stable emotions, is not pissed about that.

I think the fight with Steve is a bright focal point on Billy and his trauma. It’s the way he talks to Steve, it’s the way he listens to him lie to him, it’s even the way he reacts to the idea of Max with a boy so much older than her. (While Billy doesn’t outwardly show concern for Max, I do think it’s important to note that he calls Max his sister as if to tell Steve just how badly this looks). His reaction was beyond anger, and this really drives home the idea that Billy is so angry that he could have very well killed Steve and not have realised it and that’s something that I think isn’t touched on enough.

How is he so angry, so driven up to hysteria by that anger, if there’s not a reason behind it?

I started this by saying Billy is failed time and time again and I’ll finish it by saying that. There are so many times in which Billy could have been saved, where he could have been seen as a child who needed help and both within the series and in fandom as a whole, I really think people gave into the idea of morality over humanity. Morality is easy, it’s easy to say ‘the things he’s doing are wrong and therefore he is a bad person’ as compared to leaning into the humanity of the character.

Does Billy do bad things, even some things that may be unforgivable? Absolutely, the cause of his actions doesn’t erase the fact that he did them but did he deserve to die for that? No. There’s so much wrong with that, the idea that Billy died having been abused his whole life, having been angry for so long, that the only place he could receive softness and apologise for his actions was his deathbed.
