#popokki

*The woods are quiet, birds are chattering and chittering song which echoes through the treetops. Thumb is firmly pressed on a piece of food wrapped in a neat napkin for him. A token which he didn't refuse but couldn't indulge in either. Two more pounds of pressure against his thumb and the delicate creation would crumble. In the distance the sound of music and talking is also reaching the fields as far as he is. A familiar face is wandering about enjoying the nature trails as well. Chin lifts angling towards the other.*

LOL I’M SO SORRY GALE DIDN’T THINK THAT ONE THROUGH.

i have actually discovered this with a friend of mine… apparently if people take off the ‘highlight / select’ option then it’s impossible for a lot of laptop users to scroll on themes. the only way to scroll on them is unfortunately having a mouse with a 'wheel’… :/// i’ve gone ahead and took this option off of my theme, so hopefully it’s not a problem for people to scroll on it.

he counted off his fingers with their respective thumb , each one earning a subtle ( almost inaudible ) click of his tongue . when he reached his seventh finger he paused and hummed aloud to himself . reaching back into his pocket , he pulled out a notepad with a list of herbs . there was a calculative look , brow furrowed and gaze steady . it wasn’t until he noticed the chaotic onslaught ahead – a trolly screeching on its wheels and fallen off track . Gale’s instinct told him to run but he started to run after it , nearly ramming full force into a speeding by bicycle . ( sending it here also because askboxes have not been functioning for me lately ;A; )

― Did you say cats? Where? I love cats! I even got one ~ !”

The third time Masaomi met Gale, he actually caught him falling (or so he thought as cats can always fall back on their legs), assuming he got dizzy on the stairs to the commercial district because of the bandages he felt under the other’s shirt (probably from his fight with Taro). He actually didn’t get much of the other’s mumbling, and online caught the feline comment.

But the important part was how this guy seemed suspicious to him. A wound like that, with fresh change of bandage, made his senses tingle with gang troubles.

Recently, tumblr user Popokki wrote then circulated an inflammatory document with the intention that only specific people were able to view it. Somehow, it made its way to me, an uninvolved party, I was so shocked and disgusted that I decided to do something about it. Due to this document’s content, it is very clear why Ittsy would want few people to see it. However, since this document ultimately tells any and all readers more about Popokki than anything, I thought it prudent to share. So without further ado:

This document is 27 pages long and it is violently inappropriate. This is being placed in a publically accessible format for the benefit of the social analysis of the affected community, but additionally because it is a frank display of the character of the woman who took the time to write it. 

The aforementioned document is displayed below, text format only, the full document is accessible by link below the title and includes screenshots of private discussion between the affected parties. 

The parties mentioned in the document are as follows:

@kashiings (Muhu) , @catastrophicur (Lex) ,@hhemera (Sy), @Serialten (Ittsy/Popokki) @waywardtsvetok (Cami)

Ethical issues within the document:

1. The author socially shares intimate family details of the affected party. Including but not limited to: an unverified socially circulated accusation towards the party’s brother, socially shared screencaps of intimate conversations and documentable proof of financial coercion.

2. While the document is intended to provide villification evidance towards the affected party it actually showcases repeated cases of purposeful gaslighting and emotional manipulation by the author towards multiple people within the document. 

Notably:

The pattern of the affected party asking if their behavior is permissible, the author enthusiastically assuring them that it is, then framing the affected party’s actions as if the request for consent was not levied and accepted. 

Deliberate withholding of information that would allow the affected party to make informed decisions. Then, reacting to their uninformed behaviour as if they should be behaving as they would had they been informed. 

Emotional manipulation for the sole purposes of maintaining a commodity (work created) and additionally, for self-satisfaction regarding the author’s emotional needs: To be in a position of philanthropy within all relationships within the document--not only with the affected party. 

These individual circumstances will be marked within the text document below for easy consumption. 

Controverting Consent will be in italics. 

Deliberate withholding of information will be in bold. 

Emotional manipulation will be in bold and italics

Victim Complex (feelings of being attacked without external influence; diversion from unethical actions with unrelated rationalizations) will be  underlined*

This showcases a troubling pattern in regards to the way the author positions themselves within intracommunity relationships. While I personally find their actions repulsive, its not because I have any personal stock in anything relating to any of these people. But more because these are troubling behaviours overall and require self-reflection on the part of the author. The most disturbing aspect of this is the tone, which suggests victimhood within this situation. Now,  I dislike labeling people as abusive so this is absolutely not designed to do such. However, I do think its important that the author of this document take some time to re-evaluate the way they treat others.

I would like the author to genuinely consider whether it was right to tell someone they would support them, but not ever truly intend to. Whether it is right to publically expose other people’s emotional vulnerability. Whether it is right to convince someone of something for long enough to protect your assets--and whether assets are worth hurting others. I want the author to genuinely consider why they feel the need to socially be perceived as emotionally philanthropic if that work tires them? Whether the anxiety of letting those she promises care to ultimately outweighs the anxiety of telling them she can no longer provide it. 

But most of all, I would like the author to look at themselves and look at what happened and instead of focusing on how they feel, to just resolutely decide to never replicate it with anyone else ever again. I don't think anyone involved with this can go back from here and salvage what was. 

But we can all learn from this situation and use it to become better adults and ultimately, better people.
