I turned off anon weeks ago because these were the things that were being sent to me.
It is a very long story now and itβs still ongoing. Long story short, one person started a rumor that I was one of the purity anons going around harassing a lot of hotd writers and it really breaks my heart and caused a lot of problems for me.
I am absolutely not one of the harassing psycho anons and I have never been. I would go out of my way to reach out to people who were getting hate to comfort and reassure them. Itβs how I even made some friends on here. If I did send someone an anon, it was a drabble or something funny to make them laugh and then I would instantly confess that it was me, either in a DM or under the comments of the original ask.
I may be pretty vanilla and love to headcanon the hotd characters as sweet and loving but I am the farthest thing from a prude. I have been reading and writing smut for years now. I tried to be a good friend to everyone and I always did my best to reach out to the writers and bloggers in the hotd fandom who I saw being victims of the harassing anons so these false accusations really sting.
The thing that stresses me out the most is the the real anon was scared off or happy they got me as a scapegoat so people that blocked me will think its me. If the anon starts harassing people again, people think itβs me. I feel like I canβt win.
Every week, I feel safe enough to turn anon back on and the harassment instantly starts back up again.
Even a month later, I still have former friends blocking me and not answering me. No one can answer why they are doing this to me.
I really wish I could have fun in the fandom again and to get back to writing. Honestly, it makes me jealous and bitter to know the people who bullied me are just having fun and writing like normal after destroying me and my reputation on here.
To be honest, I donβt have the greatest life and this fandom was my little escape and Iβve been feeling suicidal lately because of all of this and my fun escape being ruined and I donβt care how pathetic that makes me sound.
I thought you guys were my friends. Please just stop doing this to me, I didnβt do anything to deserve it. People are still making fun of me and mocking me for being upset that my former friends think Iβm one of these horrible anons that have been harassing the fandom for months now.
I never got this involved in a fandom like this before and I never made so many friends and connections. Before this situation, it was the most fun I have ever had in a fandom.
Iβve been constantly promising and talking about my upcoming fics since August. But situations like this truly kill my love for writing and it breaks my heart because again, Iβve never loved a fandom and its characters this much. I have never been inspired to write for a fandom quite like this one but it seems like all my WIPs and ideas are a pipe dream now. I canβt even enjoy just thinking about my favorite characters, let alone reading them or writing them. Maybe itβs worse because of my autism but I just canβt even think of my favorite characters without getting depressed or anxious. I really am heartbroken that I havenβt been able to write anything about my beloved characters.
For the past year, I have so many ideas for fics and I was so inspired and now Iβm truly afraid I will never get the chance to work on them because this month has been so upsetting for me. I have constant anxiety and panic attacks almost daily.
I have to work all weekend and then I have to catch up on some school work so I promise Iβll explain more later because I know this probably sounds like a crashout rant.
I just feel like Iβm not βallowedβ to enjoy anything in this fandom anymore. I just wish I could have fun like I used to. I have had this account for over 10 years, since I was a young kid and I donβt want to start over. Plus I told many people specific details about my WIPs so it would be easy to find me again. I just put so much work in to this silly blog and I still have some amazing friends that I am so grateful for. Iβm just devastated that my blog is ruined and forever tainted for absolutely no reason.
I understand this probably sounds like a crash out mental breakdown rant but itβs important to get this off my chest and get this out in the open. I lost so many friends and my mental health is really suffering because of this.
