hi kind of a serious message idk ive been feeling this looming sense of doom the past few days after i got this crazy ass anon ask and i just needa get this off my chest
ok so i recently got an anon hate ask abt how keeping rhythm choso is a groomer and weirdo and u guys know i usually respond to my anon hates bc i think they deserve the public humiliation but as a survivor of CSA myself that ask rly hurt and made me rly uncomfortable so i just deleted it and tried ignoring it but i havent been able to stop thinking about it lwk so i thought i should probably address it just because while i know that one ask in particular was malicious in nature and shouldn't have been taken seriously, i worry that other people may misunderstand my writing and i really don't want it to feel harmful to any other survivors.
for spoiler reasons i havent explained how choso and y/n's relationship work too far in detail just yet, especially from choso's perspective, bc obviously we're still early on in the story, but to be absolutely crystal clear, yes choso is 5 years older than y/n and had known her since she was in her early teens and he was in his late teens he does NOT and has not had any romantic/sexual feelings towards her at this point in the story
i personally thought i'd made it clear enough in chapter 9 where he says he views her almost as a little sister and yuuji's friend, and thought that in chapter 10 i conveyed well enough that he still very much isn't over yuki and doesn't have the mental capacity to be romantic with another person because of yuki's betrayal (i did also hint at this in chapter 2 which u can see below)
i'm honestly not sure if this misinterpretation comes from my own poor storytelling or if this person was truly just being hateful because they could, but again this kind of accusation can be really harmful. i'm not gonna discontinue keeping rhythm or anything, like i said i just really felt i needed to get this off my chest,, i'll always accept criticism and feedback, especially from other survivors! i'd never intentionally perpetuate harm with my writing. i really hope i've made this clear enough and i'm sorry for the light spoilers ๐
