Back at it again. I need to establish a timeline.
Will simplify things for brevity here, but may detail things further in separate posts to provide context for receipts.
For anonymity’s sake, I will be omitting names or using pseudonyms for important or reoccurring persons.
You can address me as Atom, because I understand that snagging one of the various handles my abuser used to go by may make things confusing when it comes to distinguishing us from one another.
When I had met Sardonyx, we were both users of a now-defunct artist social media site called FrameCast, the sister website of DrawCast, an equally defunct social media website that fell out of people’s good graces after the creator decided to get into NFTs. But I digress.
We were mutuals on the platform, but had never properly developed a friendship. We eventually migrated to Instagram, started talking because of a mutual friend, and had developed a little friend group of four. [Originally being myself, the mutual friend, and a third person, before Sard had joined.]
Later on, the four of us would join a Discord server together.
It was a bit of a lax operation, two moderators and under twenty people, made with the intent of producing fan routes of then-popular game Pesterquest, but none of them never came to fruition.
We sort of used the server to work on these routes of our respective troll characters, but we mostly just used it to dick around like teenagers do.
In that time, Sard and I [16 and 13] would grow closer, and once I had turned 14, this would progress into romantic roleplay, evolving into suggestive and then outright sexual roleplay, which would then progress into dating and an outright sexual relationship. This would go on until they had turned 17, in which they would end our relationship, but still behaved as if nothing had changed, continuing to sexualize me and expose me to sexual content.
This behavior eventually fizzled out as we became more casual friends, with the last thing to stop being their sexualization of my characters. I was also dating another person, which would’ve contributed to the end of this behavior. Messages seem to imply a rocky point where I started becoming vindictive post-breakup, but that was either short lived or worked through.
By 2022, they had fully cut contact, seemingly coming to terms with what they had done to me and being unable to cope with that sort of thing any longer.
I would eventually forget about this part of my life, remembering the dynamic I had with them as “stopping before we had gone too far.”
This would remained buried in my memory until 2025, with my friends’ sharing their own grooming experiences at the hands of a different person we all knew. This would catapult my experience with Sardonyx to the front of my memory, and would kickstart coming to terms with the fact that I had been groomed by them.
By the time I figured that out, they were already gone. I will never be able to find them or seek proper justice for myself.
Everything I had suffered with at the time had come back tenfold, relapsing especially with my hypersexuality and obsessive tendencies even though it had been managed previously.
I have not had an easy time with this. I’m afraid of what I’m grappling with affecting the people I love. I just need to have this out there so people don’t go through the same things I did.
So they can’t hurt anyone else.
