Someone I had never interacted with or encountered made a whole tiktok account for harassing me with false accusations, and they've tried to push the smear campaign on other platforms. They made a whole blog for it. They think they doxxed me, too.
Below, you will see deranged behavior from a troubled person who needs to read this.
TLDR HERE (very short version)
The tiktoker claims i bullied a popular writer "off the internet" in 2023 for writing a raider AU. They claim to show I'm a bully, but no evidence of this is shown, just rumor-spreading speculation. I've supported other raider AUs long before that one. I'm not even sure the tiktoker is a fan of the writer, but it's not their main motivation - they admit I pissed them off recently.*
*You might wonder why someone would want to turn people against me. The TLOU fandom has a "confessions" blog to cause trouble in the pedro pascal fandom. (the fandoms overlap; some tlou game fans resent "show fans" who are newer and popular). the blog sews division and incites hate toward users they dislike. this has driven many fans away and quieted others afraid of being targeted. i got sick of this and insulted the blog on main, and they (admins and anons) really, really didn't like that. I wasn't attacked until after this, then became a top target.
I don't have the energy to recap all that rn but here's the main thread where i was mocking their takes, i know this ruffled feathers, and you can also search "incel gymnastics" on my blog
I think the tiktoker recognized an opportunity here. Plenty of people will hear a rumor and say "omg i didn't know that!" instead of critical thinking.
The tiktoker started off by hooking the writer's fans and building suspense with a teaser claiming the writer was bullied off the internet and they knew who did it. This got attention, and then, in the comments, the tiktoker pointed the finger at me.
In a second video, she posted her so-called proof. Screenshots included me admitting the writer wasn't on my raider fic rec list. Screenshots of why not: the writer shading other characterizations to set hers apart (this screenshot was an example I'd very briefly shared under the cut of this post after being baited, but had never posted or publicly acknowledged before); where she put Toxic; Go Fuck Yourself in order on her playlist (unprovoked, before everything else); etc. Screenshots showing people missed the writer. Screenshots of speculation turning into rumors after she left. Notably absent: the writer getting bullied. This vid didnt get the same response.
The first flop (at canceling me & others)
Next, she tried to dox me. Idk how she decided who I was, and she wouldn't explain. She started calling me a name that's not mine. I was confused.
I responded to some tiktok comments because I'd learned my lesson about not addressing rumors in the past with the naive belief that the truth wins out anyway.
A third video ridiculed me for revisiting their posts.
And then the tiktoker DMed me and revealed how untethered from reality they really were with threats to dox this stranger they thought was me.
(The tiktoker updated their profile after this to remove the stranger's personal info).
I reported the threats and tiktok denied them. I showed the tiktoker (by replying to 2 comments) my dms/search history trying to figure out why she called me that name.
At some point the tiktoker took a screenshot of this post (in its original form) and commented it. Idk why
⚠️ I highly caution anyone tempted to engage with her. She has comment filtering on anyway. She declared via the confessions blog that I'm the stalker for "spamming" (vaguely defending myself on) their hate account that exists just to target me. The confessions blog agreed. Regarding the confessions blog, the tiktoker:
1) said she never heard of it, despite all the evidence that she spends lots of time on my blog, then
2) said she didn't support it and reported it
3) said me another user constantly post about it
4) sent the blog a confession identifying herself,
5) publicly apologized to the blog.

Sigh. Someone has taken this to r/fauxmoi on reddit.
edit: not someone, the stalker herself. confirmed
I'm sharing these details reluctantly after keeping my mouth shut all this time.
I did not bully anyone and really don't want to relive this very bad experience from 2 years ago. I didn't even call "plagiarism." What people *did* do:
Me - I became aware of similarities between our fics and ignored it until a short scene I'd *previewed* showed up her fic. I was frustrated that if I used my own scene after that, it could look like I copied her: her fic had far more exposure than a little preview post of mine. So at that point, I pinned my scene on my blog. I didn't even include a callout. I didn't want conflict. Not worth it. When a comment asked why I'd pinned it, I answered, but didn't name the fic or writer. clarifying note - that scene was not the main one referenced by readers, which stuck out bc of certain details staying the same despite not making as much sense outside the context of my fic
Readers - I've never seen anything to support the idea that people spammed her (just "if she deleted, it must have happened"). As far as I know, she only got 3 comments spread out over 2 days or so, none abusive that I saw. The first one mentioned me by url, and the writer deleted it within minutes. The next day, a comment vaguely asked if she would credit the other fic, and she responded as if she didn't know what fic they were referring to. She asked for details so she could fix it and reach out to the writer, which she never did. Someone answered with a sequence of events/details and she deleted that but left her comment.
These are just the facts. I'm showing every comment I'm aware of on the matter.
I was upset when she deativated out of nowhere. But If a writer would rather delete her blog than defend her fic to a couple of calm comments (or just acknowledge someone else's work), that's her business. The tiktoker says i "let it happen" and seems to suggest i should've protected her by promoting her fic I didn't read. This doesn't make sense after she never shared mine which she enjoyed and took inspo from. being inspired isnt a crime. just, the double standard of expecting me to rec hers (which I didn't even read) after that... try to remember I'm human.
Note, I didn't clap back (or even vaguepost back) at the shade, and I didn't do a callout post. I told people I didn't want anyone confronting her. After she left and speculation became rumors, i tole people not to argue, not to even correct the lies. I wanted it to blow over. I had and have no interest in talking bad about a writer who isn't even here. hence i've hesitated to dredge up details of something I didn't want to address.
People will believe what they believe. Atp between the confessions blog and this person's hate rampage, there are too many lies to keep up with. all I can do is encourage people to think for themselves.

7/29/25 Q&A from the stalker, posing as a random redditor
Q: ok quick question on the plagiarism thing: if it’s not what happened why not correct people on tiktok? or has it gotten so out of hand you are just letting people assume/duke it out? I saw your post with the screenshots so it comes off as you kinda alluding to plagiarism? I definitely don’t think you’re a celebrity and shouldn’t be treated as one but like I said in the anon sorry if it came off that way, i thought me stating it was very niche tea would’ve covered that so again I apologize [redditor attached the screenshot collage above]
A: the context of that pic was (reluctantly, finally) describing what happened. I wasn't hinting at anything, just describing events as they occurred. the screenshot shows the full extent of comments I'm aware of, in contrast with "spamming" or "bullying"
aside from the disproven strawman argument that i was gatekeeping an au, i hadnt seen any tiktok comments t that struck me as false or unreasonable characterizations of what happened. that doesn't mean I came out and accused her of plagiarism (im not an expert and wouldnt want that attention), and it doesnt mean anyone bullied her. Until now I asked people not to argue against false accusations. that let rumors spread unchallenged. look at where I am now.
edit, and yes the situation has gotten out of hand (because of this anonymous person who is so fixated on me) to where i don't have the energy to micromanage it even if I wanted
___________
More lies on the confessions blog. Tiktok comments trying to bait me. Threats to take this to other platforms. It's too much to keep up with. If they wanted to keep my attention, they blew it.
When i link this, I'm just putting the truth out there because clearly my past silence did me no favors.

8/2/25 - Apparently, she wrote manifestos about me on another new account* dedicated to this. I cant speak to all the content but i get the gist. Ex:
wrongly muses that my crack character anonabeth (stand-in for all hate anons) is black.
contrasts how I gently rb a stranger about the flag vs. my harsher tone *responding to attacks*
misrepresents why i assumed she and redditor were the same person. See rb screenshot
Obviously I'm not gonna read or respond to all false accusations or I wouldn't have time for anything else. In fact this is most likely the last time this post will be amended. ✌️
• “99% of Byler fans are autistic” (citation: vibes)
• “Autistic people can’t read social cues” (hello, 2005 called, it wants its stereotypes back)
• “Gay people are projecting straight-seduction fantasies” (sir this is a Wendy’s)
• “There’s a PubMed paper” (no there isn’t ❤️)
The funniest part is pretending this is science and not just:
“I don’t like a ship, so I’m going to pathologize the people who do.”
Also love how autism and queerness are treated like insults here — real mask-off moment. Nothing says “I’m totally normal about fandom” like blaming fictional shipping on neurodivergence and sexuality.
Anyway, if anyone finds that mystical PubMed article titled
“Why I Personally Hate This Ship: A Peer-Reviewed Study”
please let us know.
Until then, maybe don’t cosplay as a researcher just to be mean on the internet.
Do you think it is okay for people to ship a FICTIONAL pairing (be it canon or headcanon) that has been deemed "problematic," especially a ship that is commonly hated by the fandom?
Yes, it’s ALWAYS okay. It’s fictitious. Ship whatever you want
No, it’s NOT okay and people who enjoy these ship are red flags
Depends / see results

From 3/1-3/3, ALL Winter & Spring House and Fandom Blends are available!
While you're stocking up on the delectable flower & fruit explosion of our Spring House Blends, be sure to take a geeky little stroll over to the Spring Fandom lineup to join our annual celebration of Tabletop Gaming & Geek Culture!
Strawberry and blood orange were picked to reference the sweetness of Aztecship (and the blood orange in particular is also a nod at Sakura Project's Yuma tea), while passionfruit nods at III's willingness to fight for Yuma's sake.
(This tea was inspired by the various Sakura Project YGO teas, but is not affiliated with Sakura Project.)
Finally, finally we can say: Fallen London has an official companion tea!
We’ve been very blessed to work with Friday Afternoon Tea on an official custom tea blend based on our games!
Friday Afternoon Tea is a geeky, family-owned tea company based in Seattle, USA. Owner Friday Elliott’s unique take on tea blending stems from a neurological cross-wiring known as Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia: she experiences language (both spoken and written) and abstract concepts as distinct flavour profiles. In short, she literally tastes words and ideas. I've longed to create a tea blend for Fallen London, and as soon as I heard about her work, I was struck with a very compelling desire to know what the Neath would taste like when filtered through her remarkable talent. I’m delighted to share that after discussing and playing our games, she’s come up with something wonderfully apropos.
Love & Murder is a deep, delectable draught with a perfect balance of heady floral and dank earthy notes. The blend features puer aged tea, reishi mushroom, rose petal, linden flower and roasted dandelion root.
It’s just the thing to brew up for a long evening in with Mask of the Rose. I hope you’ll give it a try, and I’d like to thank my colleagues and the members of the community who were able to taste test it with us at our last live event!
