CW/TW : This post contains topics/details about grooming, predatory behaviors, and anything associated with Abyssal/Salem_Hollows, proceed with caution.
TLDR : Salem_Hollows is a predator trying to re-identify and run away from the consequences of their own actions.
The documnt of their actions for those who do not want to read this post : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mNTPQTrUNYDX-za-7vKRhQn_KCbLpWTVqDJrLAg-QPU/edit?usp=drivesdk
Abyssalāalso known as the Aviary, Broken Songbird, or now Salemā (a groomer who has targeted many of my friends and acquaintances) has a new account and seems to be in contact with a lot of people who either do not know of their previous actions or defend them. This post is mostly to warn those they may have gotten close to them in the past few months and do not know of their action.
Salem has a doc about them you can find here. As someone who wasn't involved in the situation, I cannot explain as well as this document does. This document also has screenshot proof of their actions and other people associated who have defended them.
They have claimed to be 17 as of recent, though at the time this went down, they were claiming to be 21. We do not know which is true. Not only does this spark confusion, but it shows the intent of connecting to a younger audience. Which, given their predatory behaviors, is concerning at the least.
Now, how do I know this is Salem's new account? It lines up with their updated discord profile shown here, and I have proof that this is Abyss from their account being the same as when we first met them.
Also, to add onto the things they have done, they have said intersex slurs as someone who isn't intersex ,
Spoke over other people's trauma,
Their pluralkit has recently been privated, further showing their attempts to run away and gain a new identity. But here are some screenshots that prove this account is related to Corynn (the member pictured above).
If you know Salem please keep in mind they are a bad person and predator; you are at risk if you are actively speaking to them. Please warn others in contact with them.
A call for attention to the tmnt/rottmnt fandomā¼ļø
Note: This post is about the shellcord/shellcell drama and its connection to the Weekly Magmas (WM). My main goal is to spread awareness and share my perspective on a situation that, in my opinion, is being largely ignored.
You know? I donāt like creating drama, but Iāve been seeing something happening in the fandom that doesnāt feel normal to me, and most people seem to be overlooking it. Maybe Iām overreacting, but at the same time, by making this post, I want you to know that Iām speaking on behalf of several other adults in the fandom who are also concerned about this situation. Iāll explain it, and then Iāll let you draw your own conclusions.
Are you familiar with the shellcord/shellcell drama? If not, I encourage you to look into the case, which involves grooming allegations and other forms of misconduct.
The main person accused is The Aviary/Abyssal (a groomer), but there were others involved as well, and most of them are no longer very active in the fandom⦠except for Chila (@/chil-aglia, who has multiple blogs). She was accused, with supporting evidence, of sending two explicit images to minors, engaging in inappropriate roleplay with a minor, continuously defending Abyssal both before and after the grooming allegations, and more. I know firsthand that Chilaās behavior had a negative impact on the victims. Despite all of this, she remains very active in the fandom and continues to participate in the WM on a fairly regular basis.

Note: Please do NOT spread hate toward anyone, hate is not productive. If these individuals make you uncomfortable, itās better to locate all of their blogs/accounts and just block them.
Although these events took place on a Discord server, what happened there was not normal, and it should not be minimized under any circumstances. So⦠why is Chila still allowed to participate in the WM?
Note: The weekly magmas (WM, @/weeklymagmas) is a fandom event that has become very popular, and I still believe itās something very positive in itself. Artists of all ages collaborating and motivating each other to keep the fandom alive. My criticism is not directed at the WM itself.
My concern grew more when I found out that two minors met Chila through the WM and started interacting with her on tumblr because of that. Does that seem right to you? Given this history, I donāt think Chila should be participating in the WM where sheās able to meet and interact with minors. On top of that, I learned that several adults have chosen not to participate because of Chilaās presence. Thatās why I decided to get involved and speak directly with Rhys (creator of the WM). And he sent me to a moderator to talk.

conversation with a wm moderator (part 2)
I donāt know about you, but all of this seems very messed up to me. Constantly calling the evidence non-substantial? And they refuse to tell me anything else regarding that private evidence, which made the conversation fail to clarify anything for me.
And of course, accused people have the right to defend themselves, just as they have the right to remain silent if they donāt want to speak about it. But I try to put myself in Chilaās position⦠even if she was innocent and actually had evidence disproving whatās in the document (which I find really complicated) but for some reason chose to stay silent about it⦠why still attend the WM with such a background? I would stay away from minors and, in general, from large fandom spaces to avoid any issues if it were me. But she continues to participate as if nothing had happened (and meeting minors, as I already mentioned).
But whatās most concerning⦠why do the WM want to keep that evidence private? They say itās for privacy⦠I know they didnāt talk to the victims, for example (as far as I was able to find out), so it seems like the only evidence they care about is the evidence that protects Chila, and itās private? And donāt they feel obligated to explain to the participants why theyāre letting her participate as if nothing happened?
Not to mention they lied about the art theft situation. Itās not false like they say. So to me this all seems, at the very least, highly suspicious and potentially a cover-up. Here I bring firsthand evidence regarding the art theft situation, provided thanks to a copy of the document made by Cimmerian, which was provided by Maple @mapleleavesart (who personally witnessed the art theft when it originally happened).

Iām also aware of other things I wonāt disclose that make me even more suspicious of a cover-up. And Iām concerned that what is described in the document is being minimized or not taken seriously. It was VERY serious.
Now, imagine that in this context we find out that there is an NSFW section in the WM discord. And just to be clear, Iām not against NSFW content (I donāt like it, but Iām not against it), as long as itās in the right place (and doesn't sexualize minors). Even if there are measures in the discord to prevent minors from entering that section⦠Itās not okay that it exists there. Especially knowing that the WM has a NO NSFW rule both in the Magma itself and in the Discord, despite the existence of an NSFW channel. The Discord belongs to the WM, itās not really a separate space.

Anyway, to summarize, I think the WM moderators are minimizing what happened, or at the very least refusing to take responsibility for it, despite it being a fairly popular fandom event. Precisely because itās so popular, simply telling people to filter the content they do or do not want to see is not a solution that truly applies here. And given the seriousness of the situation, I do think they owe people an explanation, donāt you? I donāt know, people⦠none of this seems right to me. And as I said, Iām not the only person speaking out against all of this. There are more people behind me.
Iām obviously not going to tell anyone what to do or not do. As for me:
I have blocked everyone accused in the document.
I reblogged the document.
I created this post to inform people again and express my disagreement with the WM.
I have never participated in the WM and I never will.
As an act of protest, I will not like, reblog, or comment on any art coming from the WM (Iām really sorry for the artists, I genuinely admire their talent and love their art).
Unfortunately, I canāt do anything more than this.
I was one of the victims [formerly, @/the-most-neon-leon on tumblr and @/neonleon25 on Discord, but my account has gone through a redesign.]
The situation is still affecting me now and the fact she's still allowed into spaces with children makes me sick.
I had to keep pausing while reading because I just didn't realize how badly it was still weighing on me. I am beyond pissed and I can't even begin to properly articulate what's going on with my emotions after reading this.
I'm so fucking tired of this going on and on and on but people not listening to us. It's been the adults, in this situation that hadn't listened to the literal children being effected by this. Multiple children, I was 17 at the time and only recently turned 18 in April.
It makes me nausous that people are still letting her into spaces where she should be locked out of in order to protect other people.
Thank you so much for speaking about this. I know itās not easy, and Iām so sorry for everything all of you went through.
Everyone, itās time to listen to the victims. Speaking up isnāt easy, but some people have chosen to do so. Putting together the document exposing everything that happened took incredible courage, and I truly admire them for finding the strength to do it. The only goal was to warn others. Itās time we take everything that happened seriously.
Itās easy to minimize these kinds of situations when youāve never been a victim of something like this. In fact, if I hadnāt spoken with someone who had gone through an experience like this, I might not have gotten as involved myself. Thatās why Iām asking you to please pay attention. In the comments, youāll also find another victim speaking out. Please listen to what they have to say, they have very important information to share.
As adults, we have more responsibility than minors. We are not on equal conditions, even if a fandom space makes it seem that way. Minors are already exposed to enough risks on their own. Itās our responsibility as adults to help ensure the space is safe for everyone by setting boundaries, protecting them, guiding them. And BELIEVING victims.
I know thereās a lot of information about this situation, and it can be confusing. Please know that @cerulneon-cobark (one of the victims) told me theyāre willing to answer any questions. You can also reach out to Maple (@mapleleavesart), who is very well informed because sheās witnessed the harm that was caused. Obviously, thereās me. While I do know a lot about what happened, my role is mainly to help give the victims a voice and the visibility they should have had from the moment they exposed that groomer and the people associated with them.
Once again, please, letās stop ignoring the victims šš»
when i was younger i had a really bad fear of danny devito when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse danny devito and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alon
generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

I wanted to write a long explanation, but it became dumb, so I'll just say it's a mishmash of identity diffusion, self-doubt, and anger at Splinter for failing to show the confused Leo a path in life, which led him to seek his own "master" and ultimately become confused. It let up in his old age, when the last wrinkle on his forehead could spell out the word "moronā
