In case she sees this
And in the case of this being screenshotted and sent to Sophie (because I now know how your cohorts get down)— Sophie. You are not a poor country girl who just happens to find herself frequently victimized by her peers. You are a grown adult whose father works as an engineer for Elon Musk, and makes enough to afford a large house so your mother can be a stay at home mom and clean up all of your messes. Because of this, you have never faced any meaningful consequence to your actions save for junior year, where you failed out of your thesis film despite being given multiple passes and extensions, because you simply didn’t want to take your professor’s criticism. I hope that you grow out of this, work to live with benign discomfort, and learn to grow a spine and handle conflicts in a more mature manner, rather than going nuclear. If not for yourself, then for anyone who has to work with you in the future. I am not going to pretend I wish you well, so stop pretending to be the bigger person in this scenario. Someone cutting you off after reading that letter you wrote does not mean I manipulated them— it means they came to their own conclusions on the situation. I don’t have to send anyone after you, because you have already shown your character and I have evidence to back up all of my claims. I hope you keep me and my family’s name out of your mouth, and stop using my struggles and trauma as funny conversational anecdotes to compensate for your uncomplex life.

Final thoughts
Overall, this situation has created a lot of unnecessary stress in both my academic and personal life. While I will not stoop as low as her to claim that she has ‘made me a worse person’, I will not lie that this has caused a great deal of heartbreak seeing as this was someone I considered one of my best friends. I do not let people into my life easily due to my home life (and the many personality flaws it has spawned in me lol), and this has shattered much of the trust I’ve spent these past five years working to build up in therapy. I hope anyone who was told something fucked up has the opportunity to read this, and please reach out if I’ve harmed you! I’d much rather be judged on things I did do and can control than the words of someone who does not wish me well. I am admittedly a very messy and negative person, and have much to work on with being a more considerate and aware person. However, the way she has characterized me has been so disturbing and damaging that it has left my entire household in shock, especially considering our own experiences with abuse. There is so much more to this story that I’d like to share for context, but ultimately would be inappropriate to disclose publicly.

Highlights (3/3)
To justify this situation to outside parties, she has taken my words and actions out of context to portray me as a violent and irrational person; implying that I am so unstable and manipulative that she could not have a conversation with me stating that she didn’t want to be friends anymore, or I would’ve “told everyone not to speak to her anymore.” In reality, many of the anecdotes she’s given of my “irrationality” were my dealing with the fallout of: my ongoing DV case, recovering from a psychiatric ward stay, the death of my grandfather, an SA, dealing with an administrative harassment/intimidation case, etc. This letter was not a “last resort”, but the first option for someone who did not wish to have a difficult conversation or have someone be upset with them and instead went nuclear. When she was confronted by mutual friends regarding all of this behavior via email, she accused me of ghostwriting their statements. I did not write the emails. I also never read her responses. Because their relationships with her, while affected by me, ultimately aren’t my business/jurisdiction.

Highlights (2/3)
In the hours following her blocking me, she contacted a mutual friend and asked for them to record what I was saying/doing during my anxiety episode, so that she could show it to her friends [as a joke]. The friend in question obviously did not do this. Sophie has since denied ever asking for this but we have screenshots of this interaction. After the fallout from this saga, she attempted to manipulate a mutual friend into being more sympathetic to her actions in this scenario because they were “subject to the most harshness” from me, and insisted that if I had talked to them first, I would have manipulated them into blocking her. I have reason to believe other parties were also told variations of this, with details omitted/changed based on what would resonate the most. In the weeks leading up to this incident, she failed to file any paperwork I asked of her as treasurer for a student organization, then quit without warning on the day she blocked me everywhere. Her replacement was not adequately trained before her departure, and it led to a lot of financial difficulties for the remainder of the school year. ^ the current treasurer has corroborated my account, but Sophie denies this claim herself. Since all of this transpired, I have been told by mutual friends that she has been intentionally misgendering me when I’m referenced in conversation. Basically, I use he/they with close friends but in academic/professional life people she/her me. Do I like it? No. Am I going to fight in this political climate? No. It is hurtful though for someone who knows my preferences to intentionally refer to me as a girl though.

Highlights (1/3)
When I say “she blocked me everywhere”, I mean everywhere but her art instagram account. This is because she still wished to benefit from my promotional poster and posts looking for volunteers to help with her thesis film. After she had enough people for her film, I was kicked off of the project entirely without notice. I was accused of “nearly throwing a deadly glass bottle at her head”, and vaguely alluded to other instances of ‘abusive behavior’ but failed to cite exact incidents. Two paragraphs later she changed the bottle allegation from my “nearly” throwing one, to my “pretending to” have done so, but still claims she feared for her safety. I did not throw or nearly throw any bottle at anyone and I have significant physical and emotional trauma from being bludgeoned in the head with a blunt object (also this is a crime). We were on a video call with friends at the time, and I have evidence to back up my claim. Armchair diagnosed me as “a sociopath”, citing that her best friend’s mom is a psychologist. Neither party is qualified to comment on my psychiatric diagnoses, as Sophie is an animator, and I have my own psychologist and psychiatrist. In addition to blocking me, she also took the time to only block the other Black people within our friend group/group chat, claiming that they also posed a threat to her due to their allegiance to me. This is obviously not true, as she was talking to these people as if nothing was wrong in the days before.

Okay now here’s the detailed version (screenshots because I don’t want to rewrite all that lol)
Anyway. @ forvirresky was my roommate and close friend for nearly five years. As we were both art students with adjacent interests, she quickly became integrated into my social media posts, and eventually became close. For those of you who have known/followed me for awhile, in early 2020 I filed a police report against my father for domestic violence/child abuse, which has spawned a series of other legal battles. When I told stories regarding my home life, family, and culture, I thought I was sharing a piece of my life with a friend from a different cultural background. I now know that many of these things I shared in confidence were being received with an air of judgement and I was very much treated as a charity case for their white saviorism. Sophie is one of the few people who knows the horrific details of my home life and mental health history, and has used it to disingenuously portray me in a negative light. One day in March I woke up to find that I’d been blocked everywhere (even places like Spotify and Letterboxd). At this point I’m panicking and wondering what I did because we had literally been talking like usual 12 hours prior. I checked my DMs again to see a message from her mom a few hours prior saying “I hope you’re doing well”. I tell my mom about this only to find that we’re both blocked by her mom too. After two hours of playing telephone with a mutual friend, I was told “Sophie is going no contact due to behavior, there will be a note left on the desk”. I spent the day panicking as I’d been given no insight into what I had done, and did not know what I’d return to at the apartment the following day. This led to a several hours-long anxiety attack that manifested physical symptoms and left me bedridden. Little did I know this was the precursor to a lot of bullshit!!

A character reference sheet for my persona, Solwent. They have dark skin and bright yellow eyes. Crystallized cartoon frog eyes sit atop their head, and they have two Afro puffs. They’re wearing a green mesh top, a color block strappy dress, green carpenter pants, and pink rain boots.

A stylized self portrait. I am a dark skinned black person with large round glasses, a rectangular smile, and crooked front teeth. I am drawn with a green quarter zip over a yellow t shirt. The background of the image is also bright yellow, with red and green apples surrounding me. An illustration commemmorating the 20th anniversary of Halcali Bacon. Featured are Halca and Yucali in matching orange jumpsuits sitting on top of a cartoonishly large fast food container, holding up peace signs. Behind them is a variety of fast food utensils in blue, bright green, and white. The title says “HALCALI BACON” in bright orange, and the subtitle text says “まずは PEACE, UNITY, LOVE, そして HAVIN’ FUN!” in dark green. In the background is a pattern of dancing chibi girls outlined in blue, on a white backdrop. A black person with blue twists and green eyes, with a piercing stare. She's wearing a puffy yellow dress with pink trim, and her hands folded under her chin. The background is blue with a spread of pink hearts. A painting of Trucy Wright from the Ace Attorney franchise. She is laying upside down on her bed, in a baggy blue t-shirt and red shorts, holding a book and smiling at the user. Trucy has tan skin, dark blue eyes, and wavy brown hair tied back into a loose ponytail. Her hair dangles off of the bed, which is blue and purple covered in a rabbit pattern, onto a pink beanbag chair beneath her. Across her bed, there's also her showtime outfit, a plush rabbit, and her magic hat. The floor of the room has a blue shag carpet, with other books and playing cards strewn along the floor. On the wall, there is a Gavinners poster above her bedframe, and on the wall adjacent to the bed, there's a large bay window looking out onto the bright Japanifornia skyline.
