Okay so. I actually wanted to say this from the start when I first made this account because it would've given a lot of context to my headcanons and stuff but.
Yes, I am a victim of CSA. I was around 9 at the time when it first started and yes it was a family member. I'm not obligated to tell anyone this but I'm comfortable enough now to talk about it.
The thing is that it's been happening for a long enough time that it's become normalized. I still live with said family member(though that may change in some time) but I hope this doesn't change too much between us.
None of my irl friends nor family know yet so it's just between us. Discussing twp without mentioning my pov has been uncomfortable so I'll be more open from now on
as a corpse loves a vulture (you are the only person who has noticed i am dead) as a corpse loves a vulture (you're going to consume me and i can't let that happen) as a corpse loves a vulture (you are drawn specifically to the rotten parts of me) as a corpse loves a vulture (to be "smitten" means to be struck down)
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Could you please reblog my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified ⭐️ by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. Also with ⭐️ Project watermelon,line 249/(212) on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.
I hope you'll reach your goal soon! 🇵🇸

as I reread and annotate my own ideas of what was truly occuring in the odyssey, I've realized that odysseus had only been assaulted/co-erced forcefully because the lives of his men were held over his head, which was circe's doing. however, there was no mention of calypso assaulting of forcing odysseus to elope with her, and only that she had kept him on her island. however, this may just be the translations I'm reading and not a analytical problem to be expanded on.
'guys don't call odysseus a cheater' 'guys he was assaulted' 'guys he was imprisoned with his life over his head, what was he supposed to do?' are all valid points, but I can tell these people aren't aware of the fact that odysseus had sex slaves in the original homeric tales. he is a cheater, but that doesn't make him any less of an assault victim either.
