Stumbled on this blog through a link on a mutual’s page and was surprised to see some things on it related to me so I wanted to come forward to shed some light on it and the people involved / mentioned.
I want to say upfront I’m not a “friend”, “mutual”, “writing partner”, “associate”, any of the such to Aku. Our only “association” is we happen to be in the same fandom and I don’t have them hard-blocked because they haven’t troubled me personally, and they’ve popped into my IMs on and off (you’ll see why below) and that’s literally it.
The first time Aku and I spoke was a few months ago, because they had tried to follow people on a new account, and one of the people they followed was a good friend of mine who blocked them on sight due to their reputation (we’ll call them “S”).
The same morning a little while after, Aku received hate from a burner account that was trying to (succeeded, really) bully them off of tumblr, and asked me about it assuming it was from “S” or one of mine and “S"s shared friends.
Later after I was done talking to Aku, through a series of vent talks, I pieced some things together and realized the person who sent Aku hate/harassment, and a person lunargifted was talking about that hated Aku, were the same person, and I asked them further about it in DMs (I’d send them, but seems you’ve already received them from another source). I simply told lunargifted that they should tell their friend not to do that because its bullying and left it at that.
Fast forward a few months later, lunargifted decided to have a falling out with me, "S”, and another person we’ll call “E” over (shit you not) lunargifted not being invited to watch a movie stream for one night, throwing a tantrum, and leaving our group (this wasn’t the first time she’d done this over something, and there was a long, long history of problem behaviors prior I’m not going to get into beyond it being a footnote, but we were done dragging her back by this point).
I removed her from discord because I was exhausted from prior events with lunargifted the past ~2 days straight and didn’t want them harassing my DMs with message spam (which they would probably flood and delete anyway, since they have a big habit of deleting a lot of messages after sending, especially their inflammatory ones).
“S” blocked them on tumblr. I did not ; lunargifted blocked me. “E” didn’t block them either.
Then lunargifted block-evaded “S” to message from an old archive account, and messaged me the same way (even though I never blocked them to begin with? But I guess they assumed I did?)
“S” blocked lunargifted again on the archive account, while I hadn’t yet responded at all. lunargifted sent an inflammatory and angry IM to me from the archive account about 20 minutes after the first one, despite that I hadn’t yet said a thing, then once more blocked me on that account too before I had any chance to respond.
lunargifted stalked my pages for a few days and sent me anons (I want to clarify, not hate anons, just anons) before unblocking and approaching me wanting “closure” from us, which I told her off about after the way she acted previously and blocked her on her main and archive account.
She immediately block-evaded and messaged me an inflammatory response again, where she told me herself that she was stalking my pages and sending me things on anon after which I told her off again and blocked her once more.
I want to note that I had to remove or block lunargifted four different times before she finally quit (and had to block her an additional fifth time because she made a fresh new account under the same url soon afterwards so she couldn’t use that to message or stalk me further).
A few days later, someone sent a mutual friend “A” an anon telling them to “not interact with someone”.
“A” made a post about this on the dash, but didn’t publish it or who it was warning them about, so my friend “S” approached them privately to ask, assuming it was an anon from lunargifted or one of their friends telling “A” not to interact with us (me, “S”, and “E”).
However, it turned out to be the opposite ; someone telling “A” not to interact with lunargifted.
(Screen pulled from your blog receipts. This is actually the first time I’ve seen it directly instead of only heard about it).
We generally left it alone after that, even though we were getting blamed for sending it, though I thought it was really fucking weird that only “A” received an anon like that as far as I know (because there was basically no one who even knew, from our side of things at least, that there was a falling out to begin with or that “A” was part of our very very small and very very private discord group).
I made a vent post on my blog about turning off anon (because lunargifted was loopholing it to interact while blocking me?? lol), which Aku saw and messaged me about.
Since they were already in my IMs anyway and the mystery anon sent to “A” was still bugging me, I decided to try asking about it as a “just in case”, though I already had a strong hunch Aku didn’t have anything to do with it because there was no way they would be able to know about our private friend group and to target “A” specifically with a warning like that (our group is so tiny its genuinely very weird and suspicious that only they got an anon like that and no one else on all of tumblr).
But I figured it might help narrow down who could be behind it, or at least cross off possibilities.
lunargifted also saw my vent post about turning anon off (because of them lol) and wrote up a huge, inflammatory vague accusing me of all sorts of false things, that I / we were sending her and other people anon hate, trying to “drive her out of the fandom”, etc etc.
This wasn’t the first drama-related post or vague they had made about our whole falling out, from what I’ve been told, its just that they kept making new posts/vagues and then deleting them shortly after, then made new ones and deleted them again (same as they do with discord messages).
One of our shared mutuals (henceforth “L”) got tired of lunargifted’s drama and blocked lunargifted, only for lunargifted to block evade them as well using a burner account to harass “L” about why they were blocked. “L” was a friend of Aku’s, and brought the burner account to Aku’s attention.
It was at that point Aku came to me again, asking about the burner account lunargifted used to block evade and harass me previously, and were also using to block evade “L”, stating that it had a suspiciously similar URL theme to the burner account of lunargifted’s friend who had harassed Aku off of tumblr 2 months earlier (which it did).
After that, Aku went and messaged lunargifted of their own volition (lunargifted wants to spread around I “sent” Aku at them, while willfully pretending its not because they block evaded and harassed Aku’s friend “L” with a burner account suspiciously similar to the one that drove Aku off tumblr a few months ago).
I want to state that I don’t necessarily agree with how Aku chose to approach them or the type of wording they used, and I want to once again reiterate that I am not friends or anything of the like with Aku. We exist in the same fandom. That’s all.
But these recent “receipts” about “Aku’s nasty behavior” were not unprovoked and lunargifted has a proven history of stalking, vagueing, block evading, and harassing people because she feels self-entitled to forcing herself into other peoples’ space repeatedly, just as she’s accusing Aku of doing.
The only reason any of this happened with Aku going to lunargifted at all was because lunargifted block-evaded and harassed other people, on multiple occasions, first. And knowingly associates with other people who harassed Aku specifically long before Aku approached lunargifted about it.
Aku is still responsible for their own actions and words, obviously, including all their wrong past actions. I don’t excuse them.
But its not fair to put 100% of the blame for all this one on them, from someone who goes around crying they “just want to be left alone” and “nobody respects their boundaries” while actively harassing people and often times lying and exaggerating about everyone else’s role in her “drama” that she denies or pretends to be ignorant of her own part in it.
Posting as is thank you for coming forward
