TW: talk of SA

We need to implement trigger warnings in the description of tv shows/movies on streaming platforms because some writers are SICK in the head.

My partner and I started watching “The Last Night At Tremore Beach” today on Netflix, what we thought was a fun thriller mini series. We went through the first three episodes, and although it’s a bit slow at times, it was enjoyable. Episode 4 starts playing and then out of nowhere a FUCKING gang rape scene. A gang rape scene that went on for more than ten minutes. TEN MINUTES. We went through like 3 minutes of it before I literally started hyperventilating and my partner tried to skip the scene only to realise that it went on for another like 10 minutes, he eventually just turned that shit off.

And I get it, it’s MY job to make sure that what I’m about to watch won’t be triggering me (I practically live on Does The Dog Die these days) but I’m so, so tired of having to be subjected to this kind of content. You read the news : rape, you watch a show/movie: rape, you read a book: rape, you open social medias: more rape talk. I am sick and tired of this shit. There isn’t a day that goes by where we aren’t reminded of our condition as women.

thought i’d return to celebrate jaafar’s portrayal of michael. here’s a cute jaafar x reader!

jaafar jackson x reader

today was your first day on set for the michael movie. you had been hired to play the love interest in the thriller music video, opposite jaafar jackson. you weren’t that nervous to meet him - more concerned about doing your best acting - until you learned jaafar was michael’s nephew. you knew you had to be on your a game.

“hello y/n” mr fuqua said to you while shaking your hand.

“hello sir!”

“have you met jaafar yet?”

“no sir”

“stop calling me sir”, he laughed,” let’s go find him”

you followed him to see jaafar sitting in a chair getting his makeup done, he glanced at you through the mirror.

“it’s good he’s not testing the zombie look on yet, what a first impression” fuqua joked.

you both laughed, “hello, nice to meet you”

“nice to meet you too” he gently turned around to let the makeup artists know he was going to move. you were in awe how soft his presence was, and he was just being himself.

he slowly walked toward you and it seemed like he was looking at every detail, “your makeup is nice”

“i didn’t get makeup done yet jaafar”

he got shy, “you’re just naturally pretty i guess”

“oh no” fuqua said sarcastically, “jaafar you can get back to your makeup ill show y/n the set we have so far”

“see you later jaafar” you said while walking away

as fuqua showed you his vision for the scene and previous scenes they’ve already filmed, he pulled you aside, “ i’m sure you noticed that little thing with jaafar right there. i just want to let you know that jaafar has been getting a lot of attention through this role, not to mention growing up in one of the most famous families of all time. i wouldn’t advise anything other than professionalism. not saying you were even thinking of anything but he’s under a lot of pressure-”

you nodded. “oh it’s not like that! i do understand though. was just being friendly”

after he showed you around you prepared for your rehearsal scene with jaafar. after seeing clips of him dancing and singing as michael you could not believe how similar he was to the real deal.

“okay let’s just feel it out and go from there” fuqua said

“you look nervous, ever walked before?” jaafar whispered to you

you laughed and playfully hit his arm

“good like that” fuqua thought you guys were acting

as practice went on jaafar would gently touch your arm, try to give u a jump scare, and even rest his chin on your shoulder.

after you both were given notes and things to practice on, you were dismissed.

jaafar waited for you to gather your things and then walked up to you.

“is there any advice you can give me?”

“advice? i’m a new actress this is my first gig-”

“mine too”

“wait…your first acting gig ever is playing michael jackson?”

“yes… but i promise i worked hard for it”

you laughed, “i’m not gonna call you a nepo or anything”

jaafar uncomfortably laughed and looked down, “i kind of am”

“our director just showed me a clip of you from the bad tour scene, i cannot even begin to describe how incredible you’re doing. my advice would be to let go and trust that you’ve done the work because we all can tell that you have”

“thank you. that means a lot”

you stepped closer to him “you are under so much pressure, but your talent shines through. michael would be so proud”

jaafar stays silent and then blurts out a thought.

“you seem really nice, if you would like to hang out outside of this sometime-”

“fuqua basically told me that i- i cant”

jaafar softly laughed and rolled his eyes

“they’re treating me the same way they treated my uncle- im grown!”

“i’m sorry jaafar”

“don’t be” his eyes linger on you

“i’d love to hang out outside of this” you say

jaafar forms a smile

“but we better do it soon, i have a feeling after this film drops the only place we’ll have to hangout is in our house”

jaafar chuckles, “are you calling me a star?”

“shut up”

“jaafar we need you in 5 minutes to test the zombie makeup!” a crew member shouted

“alright don’t be scared when you see me later” he says

I sent you to the DM what was sent to me.

⚠️(Warning: Contains death threats, doxxing, and suicide baiting sent by “antis”)⚠️

I received this message from a talented author who wishes to remain anonymous for their own safety. They were bullied out of the fandom. They deleted all their works. Why? Because of THIS. 👇

Look at these screenshots. LOOK AT THEM.

To all the “moral purists” and “protectors of children” in this fandom: You claim that drawing a monster or writing a 18+ fic is a “crime.” But YOU are the ones committing REAL CRIMES.

“Go drink bleach / Your mother should have had an abortion” — This is Suicide Baiting. You are telling a real human being to die over a fictional character.

“I found your LinkedIn… I’ll send it to your boss” — This is DOXXING and BLACKMAIL. This is illegal. You are trying to ruin someone’s real life and career because you didn’t like a fanfic? Are you insane?

“I’ll send it to the FBI” — Wasting law enforcement resources on false accusations is also a crime.

You are not heroes. You are not “saving” anyone. You are sadistic bullies who use “morality” as an excuse to torture people. You care more about pixels on a screen than you do about real human lives.

NOW, TO THE AUTHOR (AND ANYONE SCARED OF THEM): First of all, I am deeply sorry they targeted you. The fact that you had to delete your work because you were afraid for your life is a tragedy. You didn’t deserve this shit. BUT HEAR ME OUT: STOP BEING SCARED OF THESE CLOWNS. 🤡

Do not let these pathetic losers scare you. Who do you think is writing this? A dangerous hacker? The FBI? NO. It is a MOMMY’S DOXXER sitting in a basement, who probably can’t even ask for extra ketchup at McDonald’s without having a panic attack.

DO NOT FEED THEIR EGO. When you delete your work, when you cry, when you run away — YOU LET THEM WIN. You validate their sad, miserable existence. They get off on your fear because they have ZERO power in real life.
