TW : Mentions of rape, death threats, bullying, doxxing
It's been 9 long months of me keeping this entire situation between Eden and I quiet. I know I said I wouldn't address this again, but I will because as someone who's been a victim of bullying growing up, Iām not letting someone who has made this space feel unsafe for me take next to no accountability. I kept quiet due to how much traction Eden was getting on tumblr and her sweetheart persona was hard to single-handedly dismantle.
Firstly, I want to say that the rise of anons being cruel by sending rape or death threats to anyone involved AND not involved is absolutely disgusting, and I don't support it whatsoever. You're not better than anyone being called out right now.
Secondly, I won't be addressing every allegation with no proof, and they also have nothing to do with me. I'll be as to the point as possible since this has dragged on for too long, and I believe her past actions do speak on her character.
The fallout between sweethearticism/eden happened as a result of her not reading a oneshot I dedicated to her and that she inspired. This is not an issue on its own, and I completely understand that people are simply too busy to read sometimes. I'm the same. The issue stemmed when she would claim to be too busy to read yet had the long fics of bigger writers reblogged the same day they were dropped. Her claims about my work being on a schedule appeared disingenuous, and I felt as if someone who was my friend and someone I looked up to was putting me on a back burner for blogs who were bigger than me. Several others who I will not name have stated that they have felt the same, that they have noticed the switch in behaviour once Eden grew in following.
Again, I would like to reiterate that the problem is not that she didn't read. It's the fact she lied for weeks on end over something we could have easily cleared up over text. It was never that serious, but things escalated unecessarily the moment she went to her friends about it.
I perceived the two of us to be very close, to the point that we knew a lot of personal things about each other, and we spent many hours a day texting back and forth before she stopped. I even changed the plot to my gojo kinktober post since the original had a phobia of hers, and I didn't want to frighten her. So, seeing her gradual change in behaviour really threw me off.
The above image was when she addressed not interacting with me after I was triggered by an uncensored masterlist and a graphic video both depicting rape. I would like to clarify that, yes, I am also a victim.
I went quiet for a few days and eventually came back to a server we were in and back to DMs, in which I made it explicitly clear to everyone that I was okay and we were all interacting with each other as normal. I didn't say at all that I was overwhelmed with interaction, and this ties in with a later point where Eden expected me to interact with her but wouldn't interact with me. The shift in behaviour became much more obvious after this point, and I feel like this is not what fandom is about ā only engaging when you get engagement back.
The fic dedicated and inspired by Eden was written in August. Then we come to the server we were in with other mutuals. The falling out did not take place in this server and there was no hate directed towards me that I am aware of since I left it.
I left on the 15th of September due to frustrations that my mother was pushing me into a forced marriage. It was a lot for me mentally being around people, and I was also pretty fed up with the weird hierarchy that had taken over where Eden was put on a pedestal and this was a reason why many of us left the server. She posted about not having a safe space after I left, and honestly, did she even check why I left in the first place before making it about herself?
After days of not messaging me, I got this message, which I ignored. I ignored a lot of people, and afterwards, she closed our DMs.
I unadded her shortly after due to this reason. On the 19th of September, I was at university for close to eight hours, and it was a rough day. Eden DMed me on tumblr with several long messages that I've added only a couple of. I would've appreciated a simple "Hey, can we talk when you're free?" instead of bombarding me.
Why is it fine for her not to be active on my blog, but I need to be active on hers?
And why are we lying about the schedule when you went out of your way to reblog long fics by bigger writers the day they dropped on multiple occassions?
And yes, she does expect me to look at her things as per the first screenshot. With other statements from mutuals coming out, this is a recurring behaviour.
Eden stated she was busy with caretaking in our DMs, too, but I was also taking care of my own mother around this time after she had a slipped disk. This entire thing shouldn't have happened. If we were to communicate properly little by little between ourselves, this issue would've resolved better than it turned out.
I swore out of frustration from being confronted in an overwhelming manner and general annoyance with her behaviour as of late, as well as being aware of issues she created out of nowhere with my other mutuals. Large chunks of text are hard for me to read, which also didn't help. Yes, I was harsh, and I take responsibility for that. Prior to this, Eden said she appreciated if I was blunt when I said I would be, and suddenly, she changed her mind. The time between the second and third messages was around 20 minutes. I had ignored her after the second message because I was tired, and in that time, she showed howlsmoonhaven/Howl our dms and they got mad at me and said something to Eden which I guess changed her mind, and again I ignored her third messages. After waking up in the morning, I see that Eden has blocked me.
An ex mutual of mine forwards me a 17 minute long voice message from Eden explaining what she did which was literally just a reiteration of what she said in our DMs, that she went to Howl for an "outsiders opinion" on what I said which makes 0 sense because they're very close friends?? Of course, Howl would be biased.
On the 20th of September, my grandmother passed away. At this point, I had already vagueposted a few days beforehand, and Eden had done the same but deleted it. I vagueposted about how it was funny that Eden kept me around on tumblr, but some of her close circle had already blocked me. I come home after her funeral on the 21st of September to see these asks that had been sent during it.
I don't want to talk about this particular issue anymore since it's still very sensitive to me, especially with fresh anons telling me to die for real and join my dead grandma.
But on the 22nd of September, Howl and Cilil (the latter who has just recently blocked me), two individuals who are part of Edens' friend group, reblogged this.
Do I need to say any more? Whilst I do not know who sent me those hate asks, this was reblogged with suspicious timing and Eden has been proved to lead hate trains towards other users which I will address later on in this post and people will just do as she says. I also received this ask here where someone admitted to lurking on my blog and called me evil the day I decided to go on hiatus, which was my tipping point.
I was nowhere near as close to Howl as Eden is, but I felt incredibly hurt that my side wasn't heard out considering Howl and I spent days at a time sharing things about our special interests and they even sent support the day I got diagnosed with ADHD.
Eden was aware that I was mutuals with Howl and had them added on Discord since I met them through her. I expected more than just being blocked outright after Howl 'got mad'.
This all bubbled up until I went on hiatus sometime between November and December, which was a result of more hate anons. They started up after I mentioned that this app felt like a clique and that not all writers are good people. This statement was posted on my sideblog that I had blocked Eden on.
Afterwards, I found myself blocked by her in return so one could make the assumption that someone told her what I said even though at no point did I mention any names. And yeah, after that came my hiatus and supposed claims that Eden was explaining herself to everyone about what happened while I was gone.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Above are some screenshots I think are worth mentioning even though I'm not involved. The first image is from when someone in the server was involved in some drama regarding AI usage and they were upset. Eden confronted the tumblr user accusing the server member of copying a c.ai bot in their fic and encouraged others to do the same. Some did and some didn't, but to intimidate someone like that on tumblr over ai usage and a private confrontation is crazy to me personally. She's not above sending people to harass those she sees as deserving of harassment and it speaks a lot about who she associates with, assuming they were involved in the incident. This also shows that while Howl and Eden claim to have not harassed a writer, they have done it to at least one other user. By this point, a lot of us considered leaving or had left the server.
Again, I think this is worth calling out because it is a reflection of her character.
People should be able to exist on the same app whether Eden likes it or not without there being harassment involved. It's a safe space for EVERYONE, not just her circle of friends, so it's important to practise what you preach.
Multiple people have experienced feeling belittled or have been blocked for not 'giving the same energy'. Everyone has their own lives too, may I remind. If we communicate with each other better, we can avoid situations like this in the future.
From September 2025 until now, Eden and I have had each other blocked, so granted, she didn't have a way to apologise to me directly. But I have no intention of contacting Eden again, considering the fact that both her and her content, e.g., the supposed sideblog SSG that has blocked me, her flirting with minors, make me uncomfortable.
While I don't want to think about this situation again, I will most likely only answer serious questions that I think will add more context to the situation. Thank you.
