If you can, consider donating to his family to pay for legal bills, medical bills, and therapy for the whole family who were traumatized by what has happened.
Nope, never. I know that this is a misconception floating around (and a source of some misplaced blame), but no, I never went by Ash. I knew an Ash here online, so when switching aliases I never wanted to like… snatch their name. I thought that would be weird.
I’ve been saying it for like over a year, the people that are hellbent on dragging you, again, are obsessed with drama and making themselves feel superior through it.

I really and truly understand why there are some people who would feel uncomfortable interacting with me because I was once a super toxic asshole. I’ll be the first to admit that. I was a horrible friend, and was just too obsessed with saving face to be genuine when it all went down years ago. BUT it is INCREDIBLY frustrating to see that there are still people who track me just for the hell of it. When I go back and look at that PSA that was written about me forever ago, I don’t even know most of the people who reblogged it with “horror stories”. There are people who will wax on and on about “ohhh I hope I never have to interact with her again” when… we never interacted in the first place.
I’ll forever be remorseful for how I treated so many people those years ago, but there truly is no excuse for the people who want to drag this on in such a way. It’s ridiculous, and I don’t know who’s got the time to be so hell-bent on maintaining something that happened years ago. I mean I’ve said it a million times - I will totally talk to anyone about this and own up to what I’ve done. But what I won’t do is entertain people who carry this on, and who make up things (and attribute things other people have done to me, which I only recently learned was being done), and drudge up old issues that I’ve long since been open about trying to fix in my everyday life. Again… who’s got the time??
If all the people who are still obsessed with me (some of whom I haven’t even spoken to. ever. whack.) want to come off anon and talk to me instead of drudging up years-old beef that has since been put to bed, please do so. I’ve apologized and made peace with the person I first hurt, starting this all, and so the rest of you bandwagonners can feel free to do the same. Have fun screenshotting this and posting it, too! I hope y’all have fun dragging on years-old drama with someone who isn’t even in the rpc! Peace and blessings.
Oh- and thanks for the spicy anons, too. Y’all keep my skin clear.
EDIT: I think it’s important to make it clear that people can grow and change from wrongs they’ve done in the past. This is how adults learn and grow - and it’s what I’ve done in the literal years that this has been dragging on. Perpetuating this narrative is harmful and reductive, and makes it seem like y’all don’t think people can grow. It’s obsessive and frankly incredibly creepy. I’m very open about what I’ve done and how I’ve changed my behavior in real life because of it. Grow up and talk to me. The people who keep tabs on me (my social media, my IP, all that - yes, I see you doing this) are mostly people I’ve literally spoken to maybe once, years and years ago. I was a shitty person and a shitty friend, once upon a time. This isn’t news. Stop treating it like it is. If this is the standard you hold people to in real life, with the mentality that people can never grow and learn, then I hope you’ll be happy.
