I realize Halloween was yesterday but I can't stop myself from wondering if Copia's obsession with vampires started long before he went on tour in 2018. Anyways here's a headcanon.

I've been pretty swamped with graphic design stuff lately, leaving my cartoon skills coated in rust. To help me get back into the swing of things, I referenced most of the posing for this piece from @/EtheringtonBros and @/quartervirus—two accounts I admire quite a lot 🫶

y'know when you’re tryna make a really diverse Halloween playlist with loads of artist and song variety but then one thing leads to another and before you know it it’s just like

I'm gonna boost this addition bc this is quite literally a confession.

These exchanges are from July of 2024.

I'm glad Leshy had a large enough lapse in judgement to admit that they sat on the evidence for as long as they did, but this would still be easily provable even without their help.

Leshy learned about Lorraine's CSA first hand in April of 2023.

Over a year passed before they chose to say anything on the matter at all. Instead of reporting Lorraine to the police and informing the online community that had been exposed to her behavior of the truth, Leshy and Jess spent that time doxxing, deadnaming, harassing and misgendering me—a random fandom artist they'd never met before.

February of 2024: 10 months after Leshy and Jess learn of Lorraine's CSA.

June of 2024: 14 months after Leshy and Jess learn of Lorraine's CSA.

July of 2024: 15 months after Leshy and Jess learn of Lorraine's CSA.

Nobody forced these adults to act this way. This was a choice, and it was one they made repeatedly, even after Lorraine was publicly exposed and out of their lives.

This is where their energy went. This is what they chose to spend their time doing while an 11-year-old girl was falling victim over and over again to one of their close friends.

I hope it's now a little clearer why they lash out against anyone who questions their timeline, motivations or previous interactions within the fandom. They enjoy labeling anyone who scrutinizes their behavior as "petty drama seekers", but what they've done is a class 4 felony according to the US federal government. This isn't trivial or funny, it's a criminal and sick, and their cycle will keep repeating itself until we as a community learn to put our foot down.

A few months ago, @accounting-activism shared a post concerning GasolineGhuleh—Lorraine, to her followers and friends—exposing nearly 2.5 years of CSA that had been swept under the rug by those who populated her friend circles and servers. They've since made me aware that their computer is down for the count, and they need help posting the rest of the associated evidence so that the full story can live sequentially on their blog.

Over the course of the last few months, I've been interviewing a handful of Lorraine's victims who are still reachable on social media to thread together a succinct picture of who she is, so we can better understand how things spun this far out of control. The document that follows is long, and contains approximately 7 years of her personal history. She entered the Ghost fandom in 2019, during which time she openly befriended and defended a child predator. 6 years later she moved on to committing those same crimes herself.

Lorraine's behavior is cyclic and disturbing, but she couldn't have gotten as far as she did without two key enablers: Leshy (@/krooliis, formerly @/leshyyx) and Jess (@/exsanguiination, formly @/fruitmanstyles), the latter of which doxxed me twice in the process of making this document.

It's never easy to see those you've interacted with be caught demonstrating vile behavior. The point of this post is to lay out the cycle of abuse apology that has festered behind closed doors and allowed Lorraine to bring harm to as many ppl has she has—tragically ending in a case of CSA.

Pls read all provided content warnings before proceeding. They are marked clearly at the top of each section. Enabling CSA is a federal crime in the US—a class 4 felony to be precise—and so it goes without saying this isn't exactly light reading material. If you have any questions or contributions to add, both @accounting-activism and I have our DMs open.

Hopefully, this can be where this story finally ends.

Keep reading.

[Terzo voice] Hello sir! I am looking to get stuffed, and I understand this is Build-A-Bear?

[leighways]

between you and terzo which is the oingo and which is the boingo?

Sorry y'all I'm p sure my girlfriend sent me this when I wasn't looking anyways KATE!!! I KNOW IT'S YOU!!!!! THIS HAS YOUR GAY LITTLE FINGER PRINTS ALL OVER IT 🫵 🫵 🫵

[leighways]

Henlo!👋 You look so much different than the last time I saw you. You must be so pleased! Also, what does your necklace mean? Do I detect homemade Ghost merch? 👀

EYYY HELLO THERE!! TYSM!!!!

I've gotten a LOT of comments on how angular my face has become lately and it never hurts to hear it again :) :) I didn't realize the overall shape change was something I'd get so soon on HRT and I'm definitely happy with the results!!

Also no, sorry. Although I can see how it looks a bit like one of the alchemical symbols the ghouls have worn over the eras, the ruin on my necklace (AR) is short for Aether Realm—my all time favorite band :)

The homemade part, however, you're 100% correct about! Their bassist actually whittles and laser cuts these himself. I got mine about a year ago when I met him + gave him some fan art for the first time and I've rarely taken it off since.

Some process photos he's shared with the chat:

Btw!! Happy pride from the blog owner :) :)

[leighways]

"Ghost isn't metal" correct, it's penis music

[leighways]

I'm really sorry about that person deadnaming you :( The "supports (blank) hate" shit is juvenile and embarrassing, but the lack of basic human respect in being transphobic and spreading your deadname is just really fucked and, like you said, reiterates that support/respect for us trans folks is conditional and can be withheld if we make 1 step outside of what people want from us. I hope you don't have to deal with this for much longer 🫂♥️

Weird as hell of them to spend their time on something like this I'll be honest. Not least bc I just came back from a two-year haitus from all things Ghost so lmao. Like hello??

Anyways it's all good! I recently chopped off all my hair and my voice is finally settling after it's first noticeable drop since starting T, so I'm basically I'm swimming in euphoria these days :) These clowns couldn't hurt me if they tried dw. They're stuck in a hell of their own creation.
