mod Daft, he/him, adult. i was a big AO3 user for years and all i got was this PTSD. ask box is open for experiences and opinions; the main priority of this blog is providing information and supporting victims, not discoursing. please note that the entire blog is TW: csa, grooming, and other common triggers.
I am a CSA survivor who was primarily groomed through adults I met on AO3. Regardless of debates about the content hosted there, I have spent years recovering from the effects of sexual abuse perpetrated by the websiteβs users, and making this blog and speaking out has been very healing for me.
Iβm happy to field questions about my opinions on site moderation, alternatives to AO3, and other issues with fandom, but the primary function of this blog is to provide a safe space for myself and other CSA survivors to trade information and express ourselves.
For this reason, Iβll be prioritising the βsafe spaceβ aspect of this blog, and Iβm not really interested in discoursing or debating with people who strongly disagree with my views. I am also largely inactive and may take a long time to answer any asks or comments.
EDIT: Iβve noticed that a lot of the critical anons and replies I get attempt to cover issues Iβve already gone over in the essay I used to launch this blog, and I would appreciate if you read the essay in question before making bold assumptions about my views.
Iβve included a few more links to longer posts Iβve made if youβre interested in the topics Iβve covered here:
βIβve gotten a few questions about what I would like to change about AO3 culture.β
βIs it bad that I still use AO3?β
βThereβs a post going around pro-ship tumblr that proudly proclaims that only 0.7% of works on AO3 qualify as CSEMβ
Brandelyn Wiser/akumakawa warning post
Racism on AO3 and in fandom
Itβs hard to exclude or blacklist triggering content on AO3

Hello, I'm Lama... My husband, Mohammed, is 30 years old. I want to ask for your help for my husband. Please support him and share his story so that it reaches everyone.π
My husband, Mohammed, has suffered from numerous health problems for 12 years, and the situation has worsened during the war due to shortages of medicine and healthy food. He urgently needs surgery and medication.π
Hello, I'm Lama from Gaza, I'm 24 years old, and my husband Mohammed is 30 years old, we got married in 2022 in a beautiful, warm and quiet
The costs of treatment and medication are very high; please, every donation from you will contribute to his recovery.
Please help my husband, donate to him, and share his story so he can recover and get the medicine.
β οΈVetted by @gazavetters , my verified number on the list is (#568)β οΈ
Please help me, my husband needs medication and vitamins. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and help my husband recover. This is a picture of the medication he needs daily, and it's very expensive. Please, just donate. π
My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war β hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences π₯Ήπ.I never created a donation link before, and I havenβt received any kind of help throughout this devastating war π₯²π.
I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned β even more violent and destructive than before π.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home β the only shelter we had π.
Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family π₯²π.
Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. Iβm launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope π₯².
Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive ππ.
I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.

π I am a father of five, and I live with my wife and children in extremely harsh conditions. We are seven people trying to survive day after day amidst the ongoing war in Gaza.
Hello, I'm Shadow and I'm raising money for my friend Hussam and his family who are facing war and hardship in Gaza:
ποΈ Many people think the war is over, but for us, it hasn't. It may have disappeared from the news screens, but the truth is that the danger persists, displacement and forced migration are still a part of our lives, and fear is our constant companion.
πΌ My youngest daughter desperately needs milk. πΆ She also needs diapers and clothes. π I am unable to provide these basic necessities for her.
π I am writing these words and appealing to anyone who can help. Any support, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in my children's lives and give us hope during these difficult times.
π If you are unable to donate, sharing this post may help our story reach people who can help
π€² We ask for nothing more than the opportunity to live with dignity and provide for our children's basic needs.
β€οΈ A heartfelt thank you to everyone who reads, shares, or offers any kind of support. Every little bit of help means the world to us..
This is our tattered tent.
Hello, I'm Shadow and I'm raising money for my friend Hussam and his family who are facing war and hardship in Gaza:
My name is Mahmoud. I live in Gaza with my family, and we are going through a very difficult financial situation. I tried to create a donation link for my family, but I couldn't find someone to help organize and manage the campaign π₯ΊπSo my friend Ahmed decided to support me by sharing his own familyβs donation link, and we agreed to split the donations between our two families.
Right now, we have almost no food, and the cost of living has become unbearable due to the siege, soaring prices, and the closure of all crossings.Everything has doubled in price in an unimaginable way π₯²π₯Ί
We might be forced to flee to southern Gaza after the announcement of a full invasion of Gaza City π
The bombing and destruction never stop β not for a single moment. There is no longer any real life in Gaza. We are just struggling to survive, trying to secure the bare minimum: water and food.
Winter is coming, and we have no winter clothing after our home was destroyed and we were displaced multiple times ππ₯²Please, we urgently need financial help to buy food and store some in case the situation worsens.
This is our donation link.
Please remember: donations are shared between two families. So, for the sake of God, help us, my friend. Save our children, my younger siblings, my parents, and even my older siblings β we are all homeless and hungry π₯Ίπ₯²π

Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza
Has it become normal Now that the defenseless civilians in Gaza face death and starvation on a daily basis?
Hell No!
F*ck No!!!

2. @riding-with-the-wild-hunt Here .
I contemplate the happy faces of people around me here in Ireland and reminisce about the happy normal life my family and I had before the war. A life that turned into a distant memory for us and was replaced by an unending series of horrible nightmares.
Unlike my family in Gaza, people here have access to drinking water, all types of food, electricity, and a roof over their heads. Above all, they are safe, and I cannot help but wonder if they genuinely do appreciate these blessings in their lives enough.
People seem relaxed and laughing wholeheartedly around me in Ireland. I wish I could laugh too, but I am crushed way beyond recovery on the inside. I was evacuated by my Irish college after five months of living the horrors of war in Gaza. I hope you will never know what it feels like to live in constant fear and worry and be horrified by the most sickening and scary nightmares every single night while you are far away from your family in such circumstances.
When did my people in Gaza cease to be human beings worthy and deserving of a normal life? Has it become normal now for my family in Gaza to be starved and killed while the whole world is watching the genocide? If that is the case, then you will have to excuse me if I seek every avenue to bring them to Ireland and start a new normal life like all people here around me.
I was assured by the Irish Reugee Council (IRC) and lawyers in Ireland that there is hope I can reunite with my family in Ireland. In difficult times, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me and my family, you are literally our light and hope for a better life.
SOS!
Please donate, reblog and share.
People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".β¦ Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;
Weβve made it to 98% of our goal. But my family is still stuck in unbearable conditions in Gaza.The heat and daily reality in the tents are beyond human endurance. Please donβt stop now. You are our only hope.
