@applefoam
Hello, and welcome!
I am a greco-roman polytheist, I try not to label myself as a revivalist or reconstructionist. Consider me a mix of both!
My asks are always open! I love talking about my practice.
I am 19 years old and go by they/them!
I speak English and Italian!
The main god I worship is Dionysus! But I worship many others.
My main account is @caparezzino
I am still learning, please don't take what I say as gospel.
You can find more about me below the cut.
My Final Post On "The Group"
Currently they are lying about me on their discord server so I want to clarify things before I deactivate at noon-ish EST. Previously I was going to edit out their displays on discord but they clearly don't mind theirs or mine being displayed so. This is gonna be a bit passive aggressive, I'm not in a good mood.
I will admit that Wings was not super involved so I don't really have any screenshots for Wings. I should have made that a bit more clear at the beginning that I was really only talking about Vee, Adra, and Crow. I mentioned Wings because they and I were friends whereas me and Mystic were not, but in hindsight I probably should have put Wings to the side like I did with Mystic, my apologies. /gen
Also, NO SENDING HATE ASKS OMFGs stop it people you can't just send hate asks to people you don't like. I haven't sent a single hate ask to this group and I never will.
Now jumping into it:
First of all, they definitely were acting like my friend, and I have the screenshots to prove it. I also never received death threats and never claimed to. I got hate, sure, but I never said I got death threats. I've mentioned death threats in posts because my friends have received some, but not me.
So much for not being my friends? And, Vee, is this a joke you'd send to a child who isn't your friend?
I'm surprised you'd send that to someone you're not friends with? Then again, this is right before you all started ignoring me randomly and I decided to leave because of it.
Second, so what if I started the "corrupting minors" joke? Yes, I did, but you (Crow) were the adult in the situation. You knew better, you could have redirected me to better coping as the adult in the situation. And since you were the 21 year old interacting with a - when this began - 14 year old, maybe people should see these jokes? Especially since I remember asking you how old you thought I was and you said 13 turning 14.
I started it, you should have known enough to end it. That joking is gross and I wish I had never gotten close enough to you for you to normalize it.
As for not talking to me very much, again Vee, I have some screenshots disproving that.
Over a thousand messages with the letter "I" in them, not a thousand time that letter comes up. If I must, I can look through more letters to get a proper perspective for everyone to see
Then
Here's how many messages I sent in the last year and right below this screenshot will be another screenshot of you being in the top three messages despite only being added on discord between October and - at the point of this screenshot - December.
But yeah we definitely didn't talk a lot.
As for the alts, yes I mentioned it once in discord to Vee after I noticed that Crow always had screenshots of accounts that blocked him. I was confused and I like being in the know. I figured out that the only way to do that is to have an alt, so I made one silently. Just like Crow did. I have no idea the users of the alts, I was never shown, but I do know that Crow had them because it's the only way he could have had those screenshots. I mean he had screenshots of someone who blocked him's music taste for no reason, what was up with that?
Yes, I recently had told people that Vee was good like five days before my call out post. I was questioning it so hard in my head but that view hadn't changed for me quite yet. And then I started reading HelPols Uncensored. I didn't judge, I just read it and instead of ignoring it for that group like I always did, I realized that everyone on that blog was right. I had been fighting the wrong side of the battle. And so I started writing the call out post that released Tuesday.
Yes, I did contact two of my friends - or former friends - who were adjacent to the group (friends with Vee mostly). I wanted to see if maybe I could stop from losing them. I am sad to say that I could not. Yes, my tone was a lot softer. I had a major change in opinions but I was hoping I wouldn't lose everyone for it. And for some of my friends, I was right, but for those two I was not. That's okay! I hope they live very happy lives, genuinely.
And while I'm here I figured I should probably say that in your screenshots of my conversations with you, you did post my user .flickering.devotion. so as of posting this I'm going to have to change that yet again because you doxed me. And you posted screenshots with my friends displays so you have officially posted the displays of 3-4 minors. I can't wait to tell my friends /sar
And on the topic of cursing, yes I mentioned cursing more often because of
Asking you if you had also been cursed a couple of times I had been cursed
Discussing curses that were placed on me
And Curses that I wanted to place
Now for that last one, I feel it's important to mention that every time I mentioned a curse I wanted to place it was a bit after Crow would talk about being scared of certain people on his now deleted Tumblr. Which is a form of manipulation when you're 21 and I'm a 14-15 yr old following you blindly.
I believe that's everything that needed clarification.
Oh actually one last thing, I want to thank you for all four of you deciding to ignore me all at once in January. If you hadn't, I know I never would be making a post against you because it really set me down this path of realizing that I was being manipulated. Thank you, because now I'm free.
About "The Group"
Hello
I am so aware that it's incredibly ironic that after all of support of that group I am making this post, but I have something to say about that group and it isn't very nice. I'm doing this so that everyone knows everything that happened while I was friends with the group and knows not to trust them
If someone could reblog this please so that it's still here after I deactivate, I'd really appreciate it
I know that somehow they are going to discredit me, somehow I'm lying or somehow got manipulated. PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE THEM. No one knows I'm planning on sending this or that I've been thinking this. I did this entirely of my own volition. This message was written from my own mind by my own mind. Don't let them discredit me
For the purposes of clarity: everything below here is about Crow, Adra, Wings, and Vee. I was never close to Mystic. Another thing I have to say to be clear is that I was never groomed by this group and I don't think any other minors were either. They lied a lot but it wasn't grooming
First thing's first I can confirm that they have alternate accounts and they got me to make one too (I deleted mine). They didn't directly tell me to, but in order to monitor people they didn't like out of "safety", they had alts. I know because they had screenshots of blogs that definitely blocked them. They even had screenshots of normal things that need no screenshotting in any scenario.I am 100% sure that they will send and have already sent people hate because they got me to at least twice. I'm not going to give details about what I did when because I would have to bring up old shit for that to make sense, but I do deeply apologize for everything I did in their name
They also convinced me to curse people they didn't like, again for their "safety". I apologize to the people I cursed and have already deconstructed the curses. My curses didn't do any real damage because I only did regret curses
Second of all, they lied about not contacting me outside of supporting me. We talked about pasta, we talked about Hazbin Hotel, we talked about music, and so much more. They weren't acting like a support system, they were acting like my friends. And I fell for it
They had me lie too to cover their asses and there's so many different times I wish I didn't. Again I am so sorry
Third of all, they aren't taking your concerns seriously at all. Back when people made posts saying that the group was too close to minors, they just made jokes about it. Including making "corrupting minors" jokes with me. If that isn't just creepy, I don't know what is- They joked about something that serious in a very gross way. At the time I went with it as a way to cope with the stress of harassment but adults never should be making jokes like that with minors
I can promise you that they aren't taking your concerns seriously, they just see it as someone saying "the same things that have always been said" or as someone spreading lies about them. They haven't changed or grown, it's all a lie to get people to stop being angry at them
Fourth of all, I am scared of them. I'm not saying you should be too but I am scared of them. I'm not trying to fan the flames by sending this but I am scared of how they'll react. They are not above sending hate to a minor and they are not above cursing a minor.
Finally, I'm not here to say that I'm better than them or anything. I am here to say that I fucked up by being their friend. They aren't good people, please don't trust them. And if they see this, please know that if I find one spell on me from y'all, I am telling my witchcraft mother.
To the people I hurt, I am beyond sorry. I cannot put into words how much guilt I felt while helping them and how much more guilt I feel now. It's the real reason behind why I left in early January and it's the reason I'm leaving now. The person I was on here because of them, was never the person I wanted to be. Even after I stop being the person I am here, I am not coming back. Ever. I hope you all are happy and you stay safe and you never have to fear this group again. I hope they leave you all alone
If you want screenshots of any of this, I can give them for everything in this post
Thank you and goodbye

I'm mostly reblogging for the sake of reach and engagement, but this was such a validating read for me.
what's your favorite kind of tea? Mine is oolong
I really love rose tea! Oolong's a good choice though :]
Guys I promise I'm not as invested in this as you think. I was just shooting out a message, goddamn. Believe what you want! This is all really silly and I'm not in the mood.
Do you actually think we're fucking stupid? They use devildarlins old username, all the same names, work with all the same gods, talk exactly the same, are the same age, and have the same general attitude? Do you actually think we're that dumb?
Hey, I don't have that many stakes in this to begin with. I was just clarifying something because I spoke to the actual guy lol. You're barking up the wrong tree.
Posting this because I didn't think I'd get hate for being the messenger?
Also, hop off anon if you want to talk.
Nahhh.... Hold my 99% sugar coffee cuz tell me WHY do people think it's a good idea to try and make a new blog based on their old blog name, and okay, start a new start i guess but THEN SAY A WHOLE SLUR? And be rude, ableist and definitely not "kind" ?
I tried to look over this and ignore it, but aurhhh the people on here always surprise me.
Like no, at this point yall aren't going to be saved by your friend group reblogging your post like "omg don't be mean" or posting weirdly timed posts like "people are mean" .
Your 5 close friends may be on your side, and have been always. And if they are now too, then good for them , they are good friends but not good people , just like you..
I try to not call people out, to be good with everyone, to not be hateful but i am not having it with people who were oh so tolerant and "nice" show their true colors. The colors are pasty white and clown nose red.
Hey hi! Just wanted to say, if anyone thinks this is about another account from @devildarlins (because I got the impression it was when I first read) it's not!
I asked him and that blog is definitely not V, haha.
So a scarily good impersonator who knows V's information by heart?
Apparently! That blog also has V blocked.

Hello! How do you fare today? I hope you have a lovely day /pos
Khaire!

I'm doing well! I've been messing with organization and stuff. I hope you're doing well too!
Khaire :]
Hellenic Pagans when they're trying to do actual research on their deities but they just keep getting stuff for Lore Olympus, Hades game, Epic the Musical, etc:
Theistic Satanists, Luciferians and other people who work with demons when they're trying to do actual research on their guides but keep getting stuff for Helluva Boss:
Norse Pagans and Heathens when they have to sift through 5 different layers of Nazi bullshit just to find a single credible source that isn't bigoted:
Celtic Pagans who are trying to research their deities but keep just finding repackaged Wiccan traditions that aren't historical at fucking all:
Kemetic Pagans trying to find actual quality historically accurate information about Ancient Egyptian Religion but just keep running into stuff that Victorian "scholars" just made the fuck up:
Roman Pagans watching people treat their religion like it's basically just Hellenic Polytheism but slightly to the left when it's so much more complex than that:
Slavic Pagans trying to find a single fucking credible source on their religion and find another person who also practices it:
I'm sure there's way more things like this but I can't think of them rn. We should all kiss about this btw
Me and @sleepiesthypnosdevotee ended up making a research based pagan server!
It's 15+, lgbtq+, system and poc safe, and anti misinformation/harmful beliefs! (This includes things like wicca and endogenics.)
