Why the fuck are you fetishizing incest. The hell's your problem.

Woah, I'm being harassed for mundane thoughtcrimes? I feel so validated as a trans girl, thanks so much! Everyone else remember to have a sisterkisserific day!

Me: "What the hell, 16 tumblr notifications? What happened?" My suspiciously 16 tumblr notification shaped little sister, liking and reblogging the cool posts I've found:

Ya know, we really get mixed feelings when we see an RP blog of source-mates or even ourselves out there.

Like it's flattering. And the temporary excitement is nice, but the disappointment when you see an our of character tag or or something else indicating it's an rp-post... crashing sometimes.

I'm not mad and it's noones fault, but it's kinda sad, ya know?

A lot of wish we could find sourcemates. And it just hurts to think you have and then you haven't.

In the spirit of helping with that, I've actually tagged this post with the sourcemate searching tags or however that works. A more detailed list is in our pinned but we have folks who consider their source to be:

Fire Emblem Three Houses

Fire Emblem Awakening

Worm

Uma Musume (Sorta)

RWBY

Re:Zero

Pokémon: Rejuvenation

If you or someone you know identifies with one or more of these sources please check our pinned and see if you would be interested in chatting with any of us. Please do feel free to reach out.

Sometimes the person with the societal power in the relationship can be a victim too.

Minors can abuse adults. Yes that includes sexually. Yes that includes sexual coercion and psychological manipulation. Minors can rape adults and minors can push relationships onto adults. Especially adults with POCD or straight up pedophiles.

I also think sometimes age isn't the only thing that makes ability to consent. Especially when plurality is involved. And even then, it's grey.

I'm saying this because I've been there. I was in an online relationship with a minor for upwards of three years, on and off. Yeah, that included sharing porn and sexting. Never physical, and I never allowed them (despite them insisting) to share images of anything illegal, including their own nudity. Even after they turned 18.

Did I groom them? Probably. Was it intentional? No. Were my boundaries pushed and disregarded hundreds of times to the point of cracking when I was in the worst mental state or my life? Yes.

I was an adult. They weren't. They were the victim. I know that. I'm not defending people who groom and rape children. I'm not defending *myself.* I'm just saying things are grey. The world is grey. I am grey.

I have no idea why I'm writing all of this here. I'm probably going to regret it. But I'm saying something now because that period of my life is past me, and I finally feel like I can come out and be truthful with myself. I left that relationship because the abuse was mutual. Not just because I felt guilty. I can finally admit that now.

Too late, but that's what I've always been.

It's been 80 days.

80 days too many. 1,140 days too few. I'm going stir crazy. The number of times I've almost reached out is unhealthy for the both of us.

She used the phrase "yo-yo love bullshit" when I broke things off and by fuck that was right. It really is what we had. I couldn't make my heart and mind agree, really. So it lead to so much back and forth. A worry if this is just part of the back and my heart will start winning again and yank me forth. It would be so bad for all involved.

But I miss it. I miss them. Their silliness, their ability to make me feel needed, and yeah even their seeming inability to ever be serious.

At least I can look myself in the mirror and say my intrusive thoughts are less true now. I'm not a complete monster, just a recovering monster.

I.. still don't know if that's worth this though. The deep ocean of longing and grief.

She asked me to be cruel. To make it easy for her to hate me. But I couldn't. She begged me to say something terrible. To prove that I hated her and wished we never met.

I couldn't and can't though. Because I don't hate them. I love them with fibers of not just my being but my core. I wouldn't be what we are without her. But I was and am able to say I wish we never met.

I was right three years ago and I was right 80 days ago. The biggest problem was that we met in the first place. I love her. I love them. But I hope our paths never cross again.
