Hi hello, I’m Ethel, though feel free to call me Thel. I write and say some stupid stuff every now and again (with arguably some smart stuff sprinkled in).
I mostly talk/write/etc about asoiaf (the main book series + fire & blood) and dol (gwylan, sydney and avery).
I will request you do not interact with my blog if you’re a minor/under 18 years old (not the 18 year old speaking herself…)
If you’re ever curious about my fics, wish to discuss or ask about them in any way- hit the box! I don’t mind talking off my head every once in a while.
I have a side blog for art (don’t expect me to post there tho): @otherethel
My pseudonym on ao3 is ethering.

Hello, I am very sorry for the sudden message. If you are worried of my anonymity, please be assured I am an adult but I would like to remain anonymous if I could.
First, I want to thank you for spreading awareness along with evidence about the disgusting issues and behaviors Purity Guy and his crew. I have been in disbelief for a long time because I was new and a fan. But I would never want to continue supporting a vile person like after finding out. So thank you.
Secondly, I wanted to ask if you know of, or have screenshots of PurityGuy and his prolife stances? I have a memory of images where PurityGuy was talking about his job as a healthcare worker and talking about the clients in a way that implies that they were destroying life. However, I feel as if I shouldn't talk about this yet without proof, I know that proof exists and I am trying to find it, but couldn't.
It's a bit embarassing but I wanted to ask if you have any idea of it and have screenshots of it? As I feel like I'm incapable of finding them at this point. If you don't, that is okay. I still express outmost gratitude that you have spread awareness about the issues of Degrees of Lewdity. Thank you.
Hey anon! Thank you for the reassurance, but that wasn't really a concern I had.
I made it clear that this is a space for adults and as such its every individuals responsibility to moderate themself. People can and will lie about their age. That includes minors.
Yeah that's understandable. You'd like to take people at their word.
Purí lost that privilege a long time ago in my eyes, as he hasn't actually shown any growth (and is also a legitimate danger imo, in the way he perpetuates racism and bigotry openly in the discord, while persecuting and bullying anyone who dares to call him out on it).
I've never been in dolcord myself, and a friend of mine that I asked wasn't aware of anything concrete either.
Doesn't mean i don't believe you, or that it doesn't exist - It sounds very likely in my eyes - I just can't say that definitely.
If anyone reading this happens to know anything or has actual proof, feel free to add it to the post via reblogging.
Personally I got the feeling due to the way the game handles the topic of pregnancies and abortions and the way Puri, as well as other dolcord users have spoken on it. ("abortions don't tickle pickles")
I discussed the anti-choice sentiments in a post, linked below.
The text replies to the abortion requests were indeed from Puri, and taken from the discord at the time- but it IS cropped, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt.
The 'children of the animals...' quote is from Gwylan, who - as I understand it - was mainly written by Puri.
'clear current pregnancy this is a cheat, not an abortion'
used to be in the cheats menu (Which couldve been written by Vrel, Puri or anyone, but is a major dog-whistle in my eyes.
they changed it afaik and it isn't in game anymore (i think))
💬 5 🔁 9 ❤️ 68 · ah. we're finally saying the quiet part out loud now, are we?
But remember kids Puri (& Vrel) wont include abortion bc of
The message next to the "Clear current pregnancy" button was written by another contributor, n yes, it was removed by purity. You can check this in the git history. Follow the path game/base-system/overlays/cheats.twee:

N here is proof of it being written by another person:
I am in contact with puri, he has always expressed being pro choice to me n i've never once heard him say the contrary.
i think claiming someone has x belief depending on the type of fiction they write or dont write is disingenuous considering the type of game dol is.
I've never seen anyone claim other writers involved are rapists, zoos or abusers for writing content about rape, beastiality or abuse. If you believe that though, i'd like to ask you what made you play dol to begin with.
You have never been in dolcord, n i can confidently say you have no contact with puri either, how are u so sure he hasn't changed at all? Did you spoke to him? You say he keeps perpetuating racism and bigotry openly in the server, can you point to any example in the past months?
I don't believe puri is owned forgiveness for his past racism, he hurt people. He was also doxxed for it, he apologized and left dol development permanently with no plans to return.
Here is his apology message. Again, i don't believe he's owned forgiveness from anyone, but i think its important for everyone to know what his position is on his own past actions:
What does this post serve? This is not even about his involvement with dol or him mistreating someone from the community, this is a very serious claim about his job n real life which has no proof aside from "i believe i heard this but i have no way to prove it" n not only you believe it but you say it's likely to exists? Do you have any inside on how puri is irl to know such a thing?
I urge u to take a step back n consider if this truly is helping anyone or if you're just falling into stalker behavior.
if you live in {Not USA} and you make a tumblr post even slightly referencing what time it is where you live you will literally always have to deal with the "lucky 10 thousand" who dont fucking know what a time zone is
