My police report : https://sei-bon.tumblr.com/post/184258457752/my-reports

What happened and his replies when asked about it

His sister’s view of him

another testimony his sister submitted to me

His most recent excuse and denial

His denial and pathetic attempt to buy my silence. And a tantrum about being let into a discord I’m in

Deadnaming me and demanding that I buy him level boosts and he will in turn grace me with his presence (in secret of course)

“anon” asks about me trying to extort money from him

his face (and me having an emotional meltdown about his presence at fanfest because he was way too close for comfort)

A reply he tried to delete soon after with his version of what happened(provided to me by the anon that asked the question)

response to anon harassment where i talk about the psychological abuse he’s put me through

I’m sick and tired of being asked to prove it

a mess of caps where i almost gave in

Jeremi claims that groping me and going into the shower when i’m using it was a normalized behavior for him

rant about the boundaries I set being broken

begging him to stop leaving communication open on his end, baiting me to reach out so he can keep trying to get what he wants out of the situation

I’m missing a bunch of related textposts but everything concerning this is tagged with #Jeremi Guevarra

Putting this post together was upsetting as well but I at least hope its been helpful.

Messages and asks are welcome, just remember that this is upsetting and difficult to talk about so I might not be in the best mood. I feel like it’s my duty to speak out, no matter how hard it is. No anons, if you can’t stand by your words, then they don’t need to be said.

Yoshi-P on Gender-Locked Clothes

Y’ALL???

“To touch on the second part of your question about gender restrictions, first and foremost, I think there should be freedom in your values when it comes to the different genders. We don’t want to restrict attire and clothing that you wear based on characters’ gender or sex.”

(…)

“Let me give an example: I was heading to the office on a Saturday and I saw a situation that made me very sad. I was trying to go into the office and I was waiting at a red light. I saw a high schooler coming from the other side of the road in their school uniform. It seemed that they were biologically male at birth but they were wearing a sailor fuku, which is traditionally female attire. In Japanese high schools, there’s more and more schools that are accommodating for freedom of not being restricted to a specific gender for your uniform…That person probably wanted to present the gender they identified with in their heart…On the other side of the road was a mother and a daughter. The daughter was perhaps 5 years old. As soon as the mother saw the high schooler, she shielded her daughter as if she didn’t want her daughter to see. The high schooler must have been very hurt. Situations like these still happen and there’s areas where there’s not as much understanding. “

(…)

“That being said, we want to address this, and I think it will be gradual…For instance, for the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, we’ve already started to make adjustments. Once we officially release this, you won’t have gender restrictions. If you both wanted to wear a dress, that’s perfectly fine. If you want to both wear the tuxedo, that would also be fine…That’s not available in game yet, but we have done the preparations for it. “

YOSHI-P SAID TRANS RIGHTS!!!

[darkestaftermidnight]

Worth noting that (as stated in other public articles this author wrote) she is both a trans woman and a Balmung RP regular. I am so grateful to her and her talent as a journalist. By getting this interview and article, I feel it’s also a step for recognition for both the Balmung and LGBTQ+ communities.

Jezune Garinthe

My apologizes if this is not the content you are looking for to those who normally visit my blog. I normally do not make posts like this, especially with such heavy subject matter, but I feel this does need to be said.

I’ve decided to make this post for two major reasons. 

One, @sei-bon ‘s post about him was taken down. We are not sure why or if it is tumblr’s usual weirdness but I’ve decided to make my own major post on the matter so that once they manage to re-make the post, there will be another source of information available. 

Two, to show my own support for my friend outside of reblogging their post and to hopefully get word out to my followers or anyone willing to read this post. 

This will be done in the form of a Q and A since there is a lot to discuss. If I get any messages that ask questions that are answered here, they will be ignored. 

Who are you?

I am Zephyr, the one who runs this multi-OC Final Fantasy 14 blog. I am simply a person who has decided to speak in defense of a friend and in offense to someone who hurt them. 

Who is Jezune Garinthe?

Name: Jeremi 

Tumblr: https://prodigalsong.tumblr.com

Discord: jezune#6969

Final Fantasy Character: Jezune Garinthe

Free Company: Cinquler <CINQ>

If you are asking my relation to him, he was a very casual acquaintance two years ago when I met Seibon. My own personal thoughts was that he was just a friend of a friend up until he did what he did. 

What did he do?

He raped Seibon and is currently avoiding responsibility for it.

Where is your evidence? 

Their master post is taken down but individual posts still exist within their tag which I will provide the link for here. Unless it is immensely uncomfortable or you are triggered by assault or abuse, I implore you to look through the tag before you place judgement: 

https://sei-bon.tumblr.com/tagged/jeremi-guevarra

If you feel that is little, I present to you statements from Jeremi’s sister on the matter, also on Seibon’s blog:

https://sei-bon.tumblr.com/post/178461921812/sei-bon-j-forgive-me-for-sharing-this-its-the

https://sei-bon.tumblr.com/post/180393369827/hi-this-is-more-addressed-to-whoevers-reading

What do this have to do with you?

A friend who is going through a lot of turmoil is getting no justice on what has been done to them. Nothing more complicated than that. I have made a response to such a question already which you can read here:

http://halloftherestless.tumblr.com/post/180181365141/sei-bon-this-is-th4e-bastard-that-raped-me

But the long and short of it was that I am willing to stand up for Seibon for the same willing those who stand up for Jeremi will. Because they are a friend and I believe them.

The only addendum I would like to add is that it speaks volumes that instead of pulling up screenshots, evidence, or even respond directly to Seibon’s master post: they choose instead to make their own independent post with no links or evidence other than their word and privately message people to take down the reblog. 

“But Seibon is so mad and hostile!” 

Wouldn’t you if someone who did a crime against you got away scot free and living their life with no hindrances or consequences? 

To summarize: I do not believe in the ‘flawless victim’ archetype: A victim who has to be ‘a hundred percent’ ‘good and pure’ to be considered a victim and that any time the victim shows any flaws or suffers emotional lapses disqualifies them as such. 

Seibon will get angry, break down, but how could they not? This man was someone who they trusted and they have violated that trust on numerous levels. Not only that, they have to deal with the people who cast doubt upon their claims even though they have provided evidence and had to tell stories about their life with uncomfortable honesty in order to have others hear them out.  

In Conclusion

To @sei-bon: I hope you get the justice you deserve and if this post helps even a little, I’ll be glad. 

To anyone willing to read/hear Seibon out: Thank you so much for doing so.

My followers and audience: I apologize once more if this is not what you came here for. I will have to reblog or post about this subject matter a little bit more until justice is found. If this really does bother you, you can block tw: rape or tw: abuse.

[darkestaftermidnight]

Highkey tired of seeing people in the community with histories of abusing others saying they want to “turn over a new leaf” or “be a better person”- but do so by ignoring their victims and ingratiating themselves with people who don’t know their abusive histories. That’s not self-improvement, that’s a devious effort to sweep their victims’ pain under the rug and pretend it never happened.

[darkestaftermidnight]

Hold up who tf hates you. Because you’ve been nothing but the kindest, gentlest, sweetest person I’ve ever met from balmung. People forget that if you throw stones in glass houses, you will break windows. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has the right to sit in judgment of someone else.

I don’t think it’s fair to them for me to say their names in public, especially since I don’t yet understand their reasoning. I’m not saying that there /isn’t/ a valid reason to despise me, but I don’t know what it is. I really appreciate the compliments, though <3 did we meet on Sadu’s discord?

[darkestaftermidnight]

fiontan replied to your post: The blog has been quiet for a while, and I’m not...

They need to deal with it and get over themselve.

I think it’s due in a large part to having my opinions and agency outright ignored and invalidated for most of my life, even well into my adulthood. So I /really/ don’t want anyone else to come close to that experience. I try to consider everyone’s opinions, even if those opinions are that I’m garbage and need to leave the community. I have no plans to act on opinions like that, but I feel it’s my duty to at least hear them and understand them.

You seem really nice, and I love your character. I’d love to RP outside of the Grindstone sometime. <3

[darkestaftermidnight]

Thank you so much, this made my night <3 . I would love to RP outside the Grindstone, I admire Kora as a character and your RP a lot!

[lilac-memorials]

Please, please, please. For the love of everything. FC/Guild leaders get put in a really shitty hard place when you come to them with a serious claim but no evidence, logs, or witnesses to back it up. It becomes your word against the other person’s and it’s a craptastic place to be.  On the one hand, we want to do right by our members and create a comfortable, safe place to be. On the other hand, we can’t just kick someone when there’s nothing to back up what is, at that point, word of mouth from one source with no further logs or claims to support it. Especially not when the person/people in question have never caused problems or discourse with others in the FC. If you’re going to bring forth a serious claim to an FC leader, please try to gather as many logs, evidence, or witness statements as possible. It makes our job easier and helps us be able to actually do something about it rather than sit on our hands anxious whether or not the other shoe will drop. Sincerely, A Frustrated FC Leader

Screenshots are your best friend!

[grumpqote-deactivated20190722]

One lesson I’ve learned: If they come to you with an issue and say they would prefer to discuss it all over voice chat because it’s “easier to explain the information”… DON’T!

I’ve learned that people prefer this method because it doesn’t leave a trail (screenshots, copy/paste, etc).

[fair-fae]

This is good advice for pretty much anything! Neeeever take serious discussions to voice chats if it’s not with someone you know and trust! When it’s a stranger or distant acquaintance, 9 out of 10 times it’s either someone trying to intimidate you (easier for them to talk over you and raise their voice and such), or someone saying sketchy or threatening things they don’t want logged or screenshotted.

compliment night! send me a 🌈  for a compliment

[darkestaftermidnight]

The blog has been quiet for a while, and I’m not sure what to do with it. I browse through my dash every so often and I see posts from my friends and I see posts from people I admire. But I have a problem where I care a lot on what other people think of me, and I know there’s a large group in the FFXIV Balmung tumblr community that hate me enough they would raise glasses and toast cheers if they learned I died. I’ve been focusing on discord for a while, and been spending time in the communities there. But I really enjoy this medium, and I adore a lot of the people on it. I just feel bad knowing so many people want me gone, and I have no idea how to try to approach them to make up for it.

Do you want a house in Final Fantasy XIV?

Do you want help to make that process less painful?

Do you have a house but want help relocating to a different house in a different place?

Do you want to look at galleries of in game housing decorations and ask for tips and tricks for your own housing?

Do you really like looking at pictures of cats, dogs, and other pets from XIV players?

If you can answer any of these questions in the affirmative, then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy Sadu Dothpawrl’s housing discord!

We have alerts set up to ping people who want to know certain sizes/areas for new plot openings. They’re fully set up for Balmung, Mateus, and Coeurl- and I’m going to try to set them up for all NA servers before the data center shuffle. But people from any servers can get assistance from our information repository and participate in our community in the meantime.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I might be too anxious for tumblr

Not sure why, but it may be related to how much I was on tumblr when I was going through some really bad times? I just followed some one whose blog looked cool and then panicked that they would be upset because I was following them.

Probably worth noting that from their blog, they do not seem the type to get upset from such trifles.
