I'm glad you're out of that situation then. Good luck to you and fuck her indeed.

What happened with Deadcat? I'm just curious. I got blocked forever ago, back in 2017, and I'm interested in the change of your own opinion of them. It's interesting to me because I remember how DC portrayed themselves very specifically and I just want to understand the change in dynamics with DC and others like yourself. You're under no obligation to respond, however.

I lived with Deadcatwithaflamethrower and her family for almost 2 1/2 years, from July 11 2016 until October 27th 2018. We’d been talking online for almost a year before that, and she was very supportive and helped me recognize that I’d spent most of my life being abused by family members, and offered to let me move in with her and her family.

She was very nice and welcoming at first, but became progressively more emotionally, physically, and spiritually abusive as time went on (and, honestly, I think as I was healing more, and not just deferring to her opinion on everything).

During that time she also went from like . . . “maybe a little weird, but okay” alternative spiritual beliefs and ramped up pretty quickly to what I can only describe as “cult shit” (she claimed she could channel gods and angels and if you were disagreeing with them, you were “arguing with the angelic” and should be punished for it. She claimed she and her family are the royalty from another planet/plane called Swanhame, where she and her husband apparently have a starcrossed lovers situation going on, because she’s from Phoenixhame and swans and phoenixes are at war. She says she’s really, spiritually, a phoenix named Alexandria*, and the Library of Alexandria is named after her.  Her husband is actually a swan crown prince named Peter, who’s actually the reincarnation of one of the apostles* (first she said Peter, then she said “No, wait, it was actually John”, but seemed to think the apostle John and John the Baptist were the same person. And I’m not Christian and don’t go here, but there was a lot going on.), and their kids are spritually a dragon and I think a phoenix.**), and used them to hurt people.

*To be clear, not remotely their legal names. I’m not doxxing them or anything.

**The “lore” on that one changed a couple times.

They had told me that we would always be family, and I was their adopted cousin now. When we moved to Florida in 2018 and it didn’t magically fix all of her problems, it became “my” fault, and she ramped up the abuse. It was pretty bad. She made death threats. She told me I was possessed and wasn’t trying hard enough to not be possessed, and it would be like. Three hour long “let’s yell at JabberwockyPie and tell her everything she’s doing wrong” sessions. (Weirdly, yelling at mentally ill people doesn’t make them less mentally ill. I was having a depressive episode - largely because I was being abused.)

She blamed me for causing Hurricane Michael, and said it was because I was dissociating too much, and the storm was trying to get rid of me. They kicked me out in 2018, promised we’d still talk, and then . . . totally cut me off. And told a bunch of our mutual friends and acquaintances that I was this horrible, abusive person. So, I was living in a strange state, where I didn’t know anybody else, and was cut off from most of my support system. When I broke my ankle the day after I moved out (which was just bad luck - I didn’t have groceries, so I was walking to the grocery store on a road without a sidewalk, and my ankles roll.) she claimed I’d done it on purpose).

She claims that she never ever lies, because lying is wrong, but that ��Gifted” people can learn to Word Around things, so you’re not TECHNICALLY lying.

Anyway, she’s spent the last four years publicly alluding vaguely to shadowy, evil people plotting against her every time something goes wrong in her life, and privately claiming that I’m an abusive evil stalker, etc.

When she got suspended from Ao3 in late July - for breaking their “No Monetization” policy for like the fifth time or something - she decided it was my fault again, and that I’ve used my “connections” at Ao3 and with other BNFs to hurt her. (I do not have connections at Ao3.)

I’ve talked about it a lot in my Flamethrower Fuckery tag here, and you’re probably better off checking their for details, because I just woke up and I need breakfast, and I’ve got some other shit to do today.  https://www.tumblr.com/jabberwockypie/tagged/Flamethrower%20Fuckery

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have follow-up questions.

But yeah, I don’t like her.

You don't harass their tumblr account or twitter one. You email them and wait for a reply. 5 days is average.

Your mitigating circumstances have to meet their own threshold for Justification Of Lifting A Suspension. Evidently they didn't. That's not them choosing to target you, that's quite literally how an appeal and evidence works.

If you went to a criminal court and said "the mitigating circumstances for my punching the 'victim' is that he's an asshole because someone told me he was", it might be mitigating for you personally, but from a legal standpoint, it isn't.

Whether you like it or not, this isn't targeted harassment, this isn't Ao3 making you suffer for no reason.

Ao3 doesn't send emails about terms of service changes because it has a monthly newsletter it does. You can access it easily from the main page of Ao3. And also set it to be notified because of the RSS feed option.

You're implying that Ao3 isn't safe for people to host their work which is untrue. It's literally the safest place to put fanfic on so long as you don't try to monetise it or link anywhere that is commercialised.

Ao3 is what allowed people to post Anne Rice works without having to declare all of it "not mine, I'm just using the characters, I'm not profiting from this in any way, please don't send the lawyers after me Anne Rice" like literally every other fanfic site.

Ao3 also doesn't censor the work on it unless it is Criminal As Recognised By Court Of Law.

You're unhappy that Ao3 suspended you after repeated violations, fine. But your attitude toward Ao3 for doing its job and protecting the entirety of the archive, and every person who hosts work on it, is honestly not great.

You admitted you broke the TOS repeatedly and are angry about being temporarily blocked from editing your work or removing it yourself. All you have to do is send a report to Abuse that you want to remove your hosted work, they respond with "okay", and remove your work. The end. You get to keep your work as your own, Ao3 stops hosting it. Simple.

You've received a punishment for breaking the rules and don't like it, fair enough. No one likes being punished. That doesn't give you the right to act like Ao3 is the big baddy here.

They're doing their jobs and you're the one who broke the rules.

I don't think we excuse people for breaking rules they know about just because they feel it's unfair, do we?

Or perhaps this is a One Rule For Me, Another For Thee kind of scenario. If that's the case, then you're not remotely acting in good faith for others.

At least that settles a bit. A little bit. Of that tension about the whole supposed 3 strikes thing. Hope things get cleared up for Flamethrower soon.

26/11/17 9:54pm | 56/100 days of productivity

Today was a strange day. I woke up really late and was really groggy for the rest of the morning, so I didn’t get much done. But then I powered through all my work in the afternoon! I’m feeling good about this essay 🌱

[katsdsstudies-blog]

honestly my number one piece of advice for students is to like. be pragmatic about studying. because lbr doing your headings in perfect calligraphy with a £5 brush pen isn’t going to improve your grades. re-writing and re-writing your notes until they’re instagram-worthy isn’t going to help you retain the information. planning in a £30 bullet journal which you’ll then feel pressured into making really aesthetic spreads for when a £5 planner would do the same job isn’t going to make you a better student. yes, 100% take pride in your notes and by all means treat yourself to nice stationery every now and again but pls don’t waste your time and money trying to reach some unattainable studyblr goals.

I just read somewhere that Game of Thrones season 8 is starting next year in 2019 so WOOOO I have all of this year to get caught up in all the drama hahaha.  I’m nearly done with Season 1 and I have about a month to binge before school starts in the spring again, and then summer if I’m not done with the series.

Btw the GoT logo and “winter is coming” text are hand-drawn with my trusty Muji pen.  Look at the awful kerning on the right page hahah.  I probably shouldn’t have gotten a spiral-bound planner because of leftie issues.
