#tw child grooming

[animentality]

*deep breath*

IF ALL TRANS PEOPLE WANTED TO DO WAS ABUSE YOUR CHILDREN THEY WOULD SIMPLY BECOME PRIESTS OR BOY SCOUT LEADERS OR COPS OR JUST NOT OPENLY IDENTIFY AS TRANS.

IF THEY WERE "JUST MEN THAT WANTED TO INVADE WOMEN'S SPACES," THEY COULD DO THAT AS REGULAR HETEROSEXUAL MEN.

YOUR PATHETIC TRANSPHOBIC RHETORIC HAS INFLAMED THE PUBLIC AGAINST AN OBVIOUS SCAPEGOAT AND IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO CALL YOURSELF TRANS OPENLY IF YOUR ONLY INTENTION IS TO MOLEST CHILDREN BECAUSE THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONDONED BY STRAIGHT CIS MEN FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL. WHY MAKE THINGS MUCH HARDER FOR YOURSELF IN LITERALLY EVERY WAY IF THAT WAS YOUR SOLE GOAL???

why does this not make sense to these braindead dumbasses?

Anyway.

Carry on.

mha (lov) x shio (hsl) crossover

tw// grooming

I think a lot about how tomura and the lov would react to certain behaviors Shio would exhibit due to being gr00med. And I just feel sick to my stomach, like throwing up, but also sad. I think of the things Satou has normalized for Shio and so forth and the way Shio acts because of that. And the lov and tomura slowly realizing it.

Thinking of them realizing the relationship between Shio and Satou. And then, Shio being eventually explained to that she was gr00med and just.. sad. Her reaction might depend on when in hsl story the lov are telling her this, but I feel like she overall would get upset and deny it (especially after the events of hsl). My brain is just thinking of her saying all the things like how Satou was nothing like her family or anyone. She was warm. She loved Shio, and Shio loved her, and how they could possibly never understand. And Tomura’s just there (this taking place later in mha’s story) and all he can think about is AFO and how he felt with him. He was a father figure. He was warmth, a ‘helping hand’ when everyone walked by him. He loved afo… and he thought AFO loved him back. But he was justing using and abusing him. He was gr00med. And he’s just thinking of it all through Shio’s words. He obviously can’t understand the differences in how they were groomed (tomura was groomed into a weapon, shio was romantically groomed), but he can understand the pain and how badly she, and how badly he at the time, couldn’t bear the thought that he was being abused. That the one person who he loved and thought loved him, would hurt him so much.

Yandere Dev: There's a set definition of grooming and this doesn't fit in with that at all!!!!

Also Yandere Dev: *fits in with all three definitions of child grooming in psychology*

POSSIBLY TRIGGERING CONTENT AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

And I am the idiot with the painted face

In the corner, taking up space

But when he walks in, I am loved

I am loved...?

Once more, I cannot stress enough that this depiction is not meant to be perceived in a positive light whatsoever - despite the drawing being referenced from a painting typically associated with romance.

The intention was to convey how in that particular scenario, Hunter's perception of reality and his relationship with Belos is warped from his inner turmoils resulting both from that unhealthy infatuation as well as the abuse he endured.

As he's desperate for any positive emotional stimuli, he clings onto what little vulnerability and intimacy Belos offers him - glamorizing it in his brain and treating it as evidence that Belos isn't actually horrible, without realising that they are a form of abuse too, designed to keep him loyal and in line.

And almost last but not least, I am still not a licensed professional in psychology. All my knowledge on abuse comes from personal and thus to some degree subjective observation of both fiction and reality, you know the drill.

Image Description : A painting of Belos and Hunter from The Owl House, morbidly referencing the painting "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt. Much like the original painting, it is colored mostly in yellows, oranges and warm browns.

To the right, Hunter is shown wearing his Golden Guard uniform, his white cape adorned with patterns consisting of orange dots and brown vines shaped into spirals. He looks off to the side with an expression of both exhaustion and bitter fulfillment at the same time, as he's slightly smiling. His left hand is gently laid over Belos' hand and wrist, which is holding him by the chin in what he believes to be an affectionate gesture.

To the left stands an alternate version of Belos that does not exist in canon, as he appears significantly younger with brown hair, with his blemishes being colored blue : referencing his initial storyboard version.

He is wearing a black robe with a white cape and brown pauldrons over it, resembling the clothes he was first shown in. The cape is adorned with rectangular orange, white and brown patterns, momentarily covered up with circular cross-hatching : also brown colored.

Despite holding Hunter's face by his chin and by the back of his head in what appears to be a tender and intimate gesture, he stares down at Hunter with a neutral expression that borders on being resentful : to which Hunter is oblivious. His left eye, which is obscured by the shadows, emits a slight blue glow.

The background meanwhile is painted over with light brown colored spirals, waves and yellow dots that are overlaid on top of a yellow and golden background. The patterns form no specific shape. End description.

"I messaged my fans and overshared" bitch u asked a minor for butt pictures.

[vibescornerr]

Also edit: makin it clear, yeah ima be more wordy and use of words bc its a fictional character and a character i like? Her and shio arent real, and can therefore be used for commentary and retrospective shi. Idk if that makes sense. Maybe my ocd just going haywire 😭

Hot take maybe? BUT IM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE CALLING SATOU A P*DOPHILE. She’s not. She’s a child groomer. She romantically groomed a child. There’s a difference. And don’t let the word change make you think that she’s “not as bad” because I know word changes like that are often used to by p words to make themself look less bad to the public. She’s still a terrible person. She still groomed and abused a child. But I feel like the idea that she’s a p*dophile is such a huge misunderstanding of her character. Satou is a SURVIVOR of SA and p*dophilia. Not to mention shows no s*xual interest in Shio (and more against it), which is the basis of the p word. Satou is disgusted by s*x due to her trauma. And she wants to keep Shio happy and “innocent.” And while that doesn’t stop her from other actions (like the marriage vows or kissing), hence romantic grooming. And she’s still a terrible person. She’s not a p word. And I think its important to understand her character because Satou in the end is a story of how victims of abuse can become abusers themselves. She’s a “cautionary tale.” And it’s important to understand how she got there. And I feel like labeling her as ‘bad p word’ and just leaving it there is such a untrue and surface look at her character. Satou is not “just a big bad evil” and she’s not a misunderstood hero. She is a terrible person with terrible actions, but her emotions and intentions are real and pure. Her trauma is real. And the way it has effected her has warped her perception in life. I? Idk im rambling. No clue if i made any sense to anyone

So, you know that guy Squimpus McGrimpus, who made the FNAF VHS stuff?

Yeah he's a child groomer

Yeah he admitted to it too.

TW: discussions of child sexual abuse

I had to report (not to the FBI because of several reasons, but like people who get accounts taken down for predatory behavior) somebody who is almost certainly a child putting themselves in danger. When they saw this they apparently ‘wanted to be preyed upon’ (more or less), and now I don’t know how to feel. Because the account definitely needs to be taken down, predators should not have easy access to this child; I also understand that to them is feels like internet harassment (and they probably have unfortunately gotten hate which is fucked up) and this could potentially push them further into this.

so….yeah. I Guess I just want to , I dunno, ask for advice? Sorta

The only thing I am able to say is to report their account and any content on their account alluding to being prayed upon or pursued by adults. Unfortunately this is an extremely common thing in many communities, specifically the radqueer community but there isn't much we can do to actually get rid of the accounts. You could attempt to contact the person and talk them out of this type of behaviour but usually they don't listen. It's messed up that people would harass a minor but yeah.

If anyone else has any other advice, feel free to comment or reblog with it!

So is the implication from that headcanon is that Belos sexually a*saulted Hunter? If yes, why did he do it? Is it like a chain of harm thing, like he himself was abused as a child, or was it just to be a prick?

The short answer would be yes, but the long version is a bit more complex than that.

More in-depth, but possibly triggering answer, below the cut

Okay, so. I'll begin with a disclaimer again.

The Belos pictured above is not canon Belos, and never was supposed to be. He exists solely as a device to explore an alternative scenario that would not make sense for canon Belos, as well as the weight behind it.

The main difference between this Belos and the canon one, is that he does not perceive Hunter as his nephew - to him, he was simply the boy he made specifically for being available at the snap of a finger. The abuse depicted in canon was clearly based on familial bonds, so I wanted to stray from that.

Disclaimer over.

So. Let's begin with Hunter.

While he is certainly a victim, assault isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe the specific type of sexual abuse he had gone through. To me, assault always implied something sudden, violent and unwanted from the get go - you know it's wrong from the start.

And that's precisely the opposite of Hunter's situation as depicted in the fic.

He's what I like to call an Unsympathetic Victim - the kind that most people doubt when they describe their story, the kind that doesn't fit into the convenient, tasteful or sometimes fetishized box of what being a victim means. Sucks, but unfortunately, it still happens everywhere. Those people, though their experiences and feelings are viewed unsavory or even sometimes disgusting by society, are still just as valid as those approved by it. Trauma isn’t a fucking measuring contest, and that’s that.

As for what that exactly entails...

Hunter, due to being isolated from peers and other adults, ended up developing an unhealthy infatuation with Belos, which resulted both from him being the only "good" adult in his life, as well as intrusive thoughts based in his already existing trauma, on top of teenage hormonal changes. Of course, he had no idea that it was wrong. He had no reference points whatsoever on what was right and wrong.

At some point he had admitted to those feelings and normal for his age desires - which, unfortunately to him, Belos decided to entertain. I won't go too much into detail, but eventually, Belos and Hunter's already awful relationship ended up gaining a sexual layer to it.

Here is where the "unsympathetic" part starts :

Due to his lack of proper education and severe emotional manipulation from Belos, Hunter never considered himself a victim. Right up until he started watching that movie with Luz, he thought it was perfectly normal for a teenager and an adult to be in a sexual relationship. Of course, for him the adult in question turned out to be a genocidal maniac and narcissist, but he never hated those more intimate parts. If anything, he was always happy to participate as he did enjoy it, as ugly as it may sound.

Of course, his logic skips on the parts where Belos guilt-tripped consent out of him, or that he was afraid of the disappointment that would follow after openly saying no, which as we know resulted in physical abuse in canon. All he knew was that he trusted Belos and that the act itself was physically pleasurable for both of them, so it couldn't have actually been something wrong. That it couldn't have been abuse as well.

That is, again, right up until he was proven otherwise by Luz, to which he reacted with brief panic then shutting down. Not only was that last illusion of normalcy taken away from him, now he believes it was his fault for having those thoughts to begin with. If there was one thing Belos taught him well, it was the art of self-victim blaming.

But in shorter words...

No. Technically speaking Hunter was not assaulted - rather, he was groomed and coerced, and mayhaps gaslit. While those two situations are both sexual abuse, they are two different kinds of it and that kind of distinction is important.

Now, as for Belos...

I personally do not like writing him with a "chain of harm" trope, as likely as it might've been, because I feel like it defeats the point of him consciously making the decision to do the wrong thing for over 400 years.

However, reducing it to him just "being a prick" misses the point as well.

Canon Belos first and foremost, wanted to have complete and utter authority and control over Hunter, while also demanding devotion, adoration and loyalty from him - which applies to This version of Belos as well.

So, when Hunter ended up coming forward with his intrusive thoughts and desires, to Belos it was an opportunity for two things :

Truly becoming Hunter's number one everything - further preventing him from finding someone else to possibly prioritize over him, which is why in canon he detested the sight of Flapjack so much, on top of him being Caleb's/Evelyn's palisman. Anyone from the outside of his influence was a threat to his control over Hunter. So, with him being Hunter's God, mentor, caretaker, superior and then """lover""", he was This close to stopping the redemption arc from happening. Alas, Flapjack and Luz still came around.

Satisfying physical urges without having to look too far, and without the risk of landing with someone who could stab him in the back. Hunter just so happened to be the perfect fit : willing, obedient, not ugly and always available. Sometimes, that's all there is to it with abusers.

In shorter words, again : 

It was more about asserting his control and blowing off steam while at it, not just being an asshole.

Again, I cannot stress enough that this headcanon/interpretation/whatever is NOT meant to be in any way titillating or romanticizing sexual abuse. It is, first and foremost, a character study that’s based and inspired both by personal experiences and observations of both fiction and real life - in hopes of partially bringing light to often overlooked or stigmatized effects and types of trauma. In case you were wondering, no I am still not a therapist or any other kind of licensed professional, so do Not take my word as 100% credible and without fault as I am only human. That will be all for now.

Y'all check out what I found on Etsy

[wallylinda]

Wait wait HES A CHILD GROOMER? I knew about some of the frankly crazy and dangerous stuff he’s done to people but not that. I pirated the movie but if I knew he fell into that category of try evil I wouldn’t even be acknowledging this movie

legally no. ezra miller has never been indicted for child grooming, however the parents of tokota iron eyes have filed for a protective order on their child's behalf. a judge signed off on it but it was never enforced because both of their whereabouts were, at the time, unknown. idk if there's been any significant changes since then but overall....not a good look. here's an article by the vulture w/ a general timeline if u want to know more.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT A SCUMAG

[animentality]

If you followed me without realizing I hate fucking terfs, this is a reminder to unfollow me, because I hate terfs.

This is not a terf friendly space. This is not a radfem man hating space either.

I'm nonbinary and a little trans, and I fucking despise transphobes, whether they're conservatives who think trans people are child groomers or radical feminists who pretend they're progressive but all they actually do is continue to perpetuate the patriarchal ideals of womanhood.

You're so fucking stupid. Stay the hell away from me.

[thatonefurryartist]

That's also pretty similar to how predators groom kids

Like, earily similar.

something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.
