hi soo uh...what happened to some of your twst fics?
hello! i saw your anon message a long time ago but was far too busy to respond, so i sincerely apologise for taking such a long time to answer. okay, so here’s the situation: my ex best friend was INSANELY jealous of my writing (when i found out i was genuinely so shocked.) and so,, due to her envy of me getting an audience, she decided it was a good idea to delete 90% of my writings in tumblr account. how did i let that happen? the day before she did this, she suggested on having a sleepover together and i agreed, because why not? and so, when that day came, we spent time together as usual, and she was taking a lot of pictures on my phone. (because she claimed that my camera quality was better than hers and i didn’t found anything suspicious in that.) later on, i decided to use bathroom while my OPEN phone was in her hand (she knows my password too) , so i calmly left my phone in her care. but while i was gone, she took that as an opportunity to delete my BEST writings that got a lot of attention. to be honest, when i came back, i didn’t suspect anything weird because to me, she looked like she was still taking pictures of herself. i found out about this (like,, 2 days later if my memory serves me right.) on my own when i was checking links on my TWST masterlist. at first, i genuinely thought Tumblr had glitched. or maybe some random hacker got bored and decided to target me, of all people.😓 that was when the serious panic started. i checked my login history, nothing weird. same device, same IP. no unfamiliar session. No signs of hacking…. AND THEN. I REALISED SOMETHING.
when she handed me my phone back that night, her expression was really weird. (and im serious when I say this!) i remember i laughed and said, “What, did my camera make you THAT pretty?”
and she just shrugged and went, “maybe.” she avoided eye contact. but i ignored it because she’s pretty shy and i got used to it. i really, really didn’t wanted to believe that it was her doing. still, i opened my Photos app. because if she had been taking pictures, i assumed that there would be some clues (somehow🤔). i saw the timestamps. hundreds of photos of her, but all taken after a suspicious ten-minute gap. a gap that lined up perfectly with the exact moment i had gone to the bathroom. ten minutes. ten minutes where there were no photos. no selfies. nothing. and then the selfies resumed, like she has suddenly remembered she needed to act normal again. i opened my Tumblr app history next, hoping that i would be wrong. but there it was. a string of “post deleted” actions all lined up in that same ten-minute window. no words could my describe my shock and anger at her that day. of course i confronted to her about it, because what kind of best friend would do this?? when i confronted her, she didn’t explode. she didn’t even look shocked. (much to my surprise!)
she just… froze for a second, like she needed a moment to decide which version of herself she wanted to play.😒 first thing she said was, “Wait what? Why are you asking me?” all confused, all offended.
when i told her i checked the timestamps and the app history, her face changed a little, not super obvious, just this tiny flicker of panic around her eyes. then she went straight into excuses.
“You think I’d delete your stuff? Seriously? Why would I even do that?”
she kept insisting she “didn’t touch anything” and that maybe Tumblr messed up or “maybe you deleted them by accident.” like im some toddler who doesn’t know how her own blog works.😭😭😭 this girl seriously🤦🏽♀️
when i didn’t back down, she got annoyed :))
“You’re making this a big deal for nothing.”, “If something happened, it wasn’t me.”, “I was literally just taking pictures, you saw me.”
every sentence made her sound guiltier, because she wasn’t denying with any real emotion, just irritation that i had caught her. and the more calm i stayed, the more frustrated she got. It was like she expected me to drop it if she acted bothered enough.
the final thing she said before giving up was: “Look, believe whatever you want. I don’t care. But it wasn’t me.”
that was pretty much the moment i realized whatever friendship i thought we had, was done.🫷🏽
yeah… that’s why my fics are deleted.💁🏽♀️
