Mods have made the reasonable request that the parade in the Nick Bates thread not be rained on. I agree - his victims can breath a sigh of relief that he will no longer be a threat.

But this isn't about Nick. This is about Anna, or @Ancani. Anna has been a forum regular for a while now commenting on both Tumblr and her history with Nick. She has had a relationship with Nick since 2006 when she was 13, roleplaying with him online and sending letters to one another. In 2008 she realized Nick wasn't entirely sane, though it took her another year to consider cutting off contact with him.

By 2013 her relationship with Nick had begun to get retconned. No one can fault a young girl for making a bad decision. One can, however, fault that girl for the actions they took after it. Anna has frequently claimed she is being stalked and harassed by a man so enfeebled by his mental illnesses he would not leave his house for weeks at a time. She was in fear for her life from a man that only had internet access for a few hours a month, and even though he had panic attacks riding the bus there was still fear from 3600 miles away.

Even as she wished to stay safe and be left alone, she continued to talk about Nick - as recently as 2015 here and on Tumblr. She had every opportunity to be proactive by changing screen names and setting her accounts to friends only - measures that were never taken despite wondering in Nick's thread about the likelihood of a protective order she never applied for.

Lest you wonder where the funny is, Anna is triggered by a great number of things - such as men who can never find her and Homestuck (which should trigger everyone by being an unfunny mess).
This, this, this.

I have a pretty genuine trigger regarding stalking--specifically, stalking and fetishizing people being portrayed as romantic, because that's exactly what Nick did to me. Shit like that causes me to go straight into panic mode. And stalking would be a reasonable thing to hope people would tag for...but what makes me especially panicky is, of all fucking things, ships. As in fictional pairings. There's a specific Homestuck ship that is frequently shown as "cute" or "sweet" among fans, despite it being portrayed as a stalker-y situation that the girl wanted no part of in canon, and that one freaks me out so badly that I can't see fanart without wanting to vomit. It causes me to flash back to everything that fucker did and said.

So yeah, I'd argue that it's a pretty genuine trigger in the classical sense for me, and while I recognize that it's an irrational and ridiculous response, I'm also not sure how I'd be able to expose myself to a goddamn ship in a controlled environment. But I'm also fairly sure that most people who dislike the ship don't have the response I have, and just don't care for it for whatever reason. I've got plenty of shit I don't care for personally, but I don't expect everyone to tag for it.

And while I do ask people I'm friends with on Tumblr to tag that ship, I can't--and shouldn't--expect that everyone will. It'd be nice if people did, but saying "literally everyone in the fandom MUST tag this ship because ONE person has panic attacks over it" is unreasonable.

Sorry for rambling, but yeah. Part of the issue is that the term "trigger" has become, as others have mentioned, meaningless on Tumblr, which is a problem for those who have actual triggers. It's the same reason I think nounself types are harmful to the tranny community. I think that if someone's first encounter with something serious is with someone treating it like some cutesy accessory (which is what Tumblr does with triggers, IMO), they're gonna be less likely to treat it as a serious issue.

(For what it's worth, I think the shift towards calling things "content warnings" instead of "trigger warnings" is helpful, especially since some things could reasonably squick people out without being a personal trigger for them. And the concept of "squicks" in fandom is one that needs to come back into vogue, IMO.)

There are over 2500 pages on her current tumblr which I'll even admit is a pretty good deterrent for discovery. Pan for gold among the dirt my friends.

Okay so first off: NONE OF THIS IS MANDATORY READING. However, if you wanna know what you’re getting into when you follow me, it might be a good idea to read it. So like…it’s strongly recommended reading I guess but I honestly don’t care if you never read it.
Note that there’s no restrictions as to who follows me. None. I might block you if you’re creepy or a douche, but that’s it. If you’re not a dick to me, which you probably aren’t, I hope you have a lovely time on my blog! :biggrin:
However, for your sake, I would advise you not to follow me if…
  • You have a real problem with Homestuck or Steven Universe. That’s a good portion of my blog, and while I tag things as well as I can, some stuff might slip through.
  • You don’t like the Megidos, SolAra, or Amethyst. Again, that’s just frequent content on my blog.
  • You’re a really devout EquAra shipper. It’s my NOTP, and while I do tag posts about it as #acey doesn’t like this pairing, some things will probably slip through on occasion. This isn’t a value judgment on you, don’t worry!
  • You have a problem with people who ship “problematic” things. I have a few ships along those lines myself, and my girlfriend does too–and since sometimes I draw those ships for her…yeah. It’s fine if you have issues with the ships themselves (I tag them, so feel free to blacklist!), but if you have issues with the shippers, that’s another story.
  • You have a problem with NSFW material. I always tag NSFW posts as #nsfw, and posts that are kind of possibly NSFW-ish as #mildly nsfw, but yeah. I also don’t usually tag NSFW text, but I’m working on that. (If you’re a minor, I'd highly recommend that you blacklist my NSFW posts–I don’t want to get you in trouble!)
  • You don’t want to follow an adult. I am 23 years old–if that makes you uncomfortable, don’t follow.
  • You have issues with swearing. I swear a LOT, and I don’t tag it, so unless you wanna blacklist every swear ever, this is probably not the blog for you!
  • You expect me to follow back. Realistically, I probably won’t–I rarely do. (This also applies to mutuals–I will occasionally break mutuals without warning if I need to.) You can still be my friend, though! <3
I don’t mind if you follow me regardless; however, I do request that you not send me nasty messages if I post something you dislike. Just go ahead and unfollow–I won’t be mad!
My about and FAQ pages are probably a good place to start if you wanna know about who I actually am, and my brainweird page is worth a look too. You should also maybe check out my fandoms and tags pages if you wanna get a taste of the sorts of things I usually post.
I post my art sometimes, and while I’m happy to see it reblogged, please do NOT tag ANY of it as “kin” or anything of the sort. (“Me” is fine if it’s just a matter of you relating to it.) I know you don’t mean to make me anxious if you do that, but it does make me anxious and it feels like you’re appropriating stuff I drew for myself or others. So please do not tag my art that way.
As I said, I rarely follow back, and I might break mutuals without saying anything; this is not personal. I just like to keep my dash a certain way (mostly lighthearted and not super-clogged), so I’m relatively picky about who I follow! Even if I’m not following you, though, you are absolutely free to hit me up and be my friend. :biggrin:
As for my actual blog contents…this is mostly a fandom/personal/humor blog, with a major emphasis on the fandom part. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, though, so if you follow me because of one specific post you probably shouldn’t expect that most of my posts will be like that. :P
Here’s what you should expect:
  • Homestuck.
  • Steven Universe.
  • Gravity Falls.
  • They Might Be Giants.
  • Pictures of cute animals.
  • Posts I find funny.
  • Shitposting up the wazoo.
  • My art, sometimes.
  • Selfies.
  • Posts about my life and shit that I did. Or shit that happened to me, or whatever.
I DO sometimes post my opinions on things. You may disagree with these opinions. That is okay, and you are free to unfollow me if you have issues with them, but if you’re a dick about it I reserve the right to straight-up block your ass and complain about you to my friends forever. (My more potentially-contentious opinions are tagged #oops acey has opinions, so that’s another thing that’s blacklistable!)
Anyway, that’s enough rambling! Enjoy your stay! <3

(pictured: acey aka me)

hello, my name is acey! you can also call me anna (my ~*mundane*~ name), tumblr user damaramegido, ace, senpai, or damz–or hell, if you have any cool nicknames for me just run ‘em by me, i’ll probably love them and maybe add them to this list! i’m also totally okay with any feminine or gender-neutral terminology, as well as “man” or “dude” when used for emphasis! (also people have accidentally referred to me as damara and aradia on multiple occasions and i do not mind at all tbh)

i’m a 23-year-old cis lesbian (she/her only, please!) living in northern california (near santa cruz to be specific), and i work as a volunteer artist/designer for a local lgbt+ center. i love to draw and write and my goal in life is to become a professional cartoonist, with my fallback career idea being writing!

my blog is primarily a fandom blog with a heaping side helping of shitposts and selfies. my main fandom is homestuck (in case my url didn’t make that obvious haha), but i’m also currently in steven universe hell. other fandoms of mine include gravity falls, they might be giants, and pokemon!

my favorite characters include, but are not limited to, EVERY MEGIDO (especially aradia and damara but i love handy too), all the lalondes (especially roxy), kanaya maryam, sollux captor, amethyst, pearl, connie maheswaran, mabel pines, grunkle stan, and rya botkins.

i’m autistic and have a goddamn smorgasboard of mental illnesses but that isn’t interesting so i’m not gonna go into it here! here’s my brainweird page anyway, if you do think it’s interesting. :P

i’m in a relationship with an amazing girl named brittany and i love her a lot and blog about her a lot! i also have two moirails, ingrid(who lives with me) and anna (who shares my irl name). i have lots of other wonderful friends that i post about a lot too!! you can ABSOLUTELY be my friend–i love making friends and meeting rad new people!

i can fit 23 marshmallows in my mouth, and i quoted damara megido during sex once and i don’t regret it at all.

uhhh here are some facts about me?

  • my birthday is february 18th, making me an aquarius-pisces cusp. my birthstone is amethyst! :biggrin:
  • i have a total of eight piercings and two tattoos so far! (the piercings are two ear piercings on each ear with the bottom ones stretched to 00g, two lip piercings, an eyebrow piercing, and a septum piercing; the tattoos are a time player symbol on my upper right arm and the tmbg snowman on my left thigh!)
  • i’m 5'4" and a half. like, exactly.
  • i’m of german mennonite descent on my dad’s side! we’ve got some rad history. B)
  • my hobbies include drawing, writing (mostly fanfiction, poetry, and fandom poetry), singing, playing the ukulele (poorly), playing video games, watching cartoons, reading, and chatting with friends, both online and off!
  • i identify as an agnostic deist, in that i personally believe in a hands-off higher power of some sort but i also believe it’s impossible to truly know either way. if you have any questions about deism, go ahead and ask–i’d be more than happy to explain!
  • i haven’t had my natural hair color for nearly ten years, but it’s naturally dark brown, and i have blue eyes. :biggrin:
  • i’ve left college twice due to stress. i do hope to get a degree at some point, but i’ve concluded that i’m just not at a point in my life where i can handle college–but when i am at that point, i’ll probably major in english or history!
  • a few various useless personality result things: infp, neutral good with true neutral leanings, melancholic with slight choleric tendencies, hufflepuff, prospit dreamer, and sylph of mind!
  • i have been mentioned in the mainstream media for singing about dolphins.
and if you tag me in these things i’ll love you 5evr (that one more than 4evr)

  • megido stuff
  • amethyst stuff
  • solara stuff
  • anything about rats and how good they are
  • ridiculous shitposts
  • anything about dril
  • really good meta posts
  • cute animals who aren’t rats (but not spiders pls i am arachnophobic!)
  • anything that makes you go “wow i think acey would like this!”
  • seriously if you see a post and think of me and tag me in it i will be so happy <3
and here are some buttons!



and finally (most importantly), here are a bunch of pictures that truly capture who i am as a person.

i hope you have a fabulous day friend! <3

It's important to point out that Ancani and her friends catfished and trolled Nick Bate because they thought it was funny. After it became clear he was as disturbed and obsessive as he was, she decided it wasn't so funny and proceeded to sort of avoid him. Sort of, as in, she blocked him but continued to use his obsession over her for pity and attention, and never took even the most rudimentary steps to hide from him, like changing her fucking internet name.

She is not a 'victim' and everyone who was pearl-clutching and hand-wringing over her is a retarded cunt that should be ashamed of themselves.

TTS first, then halal.

Templocking. Lay out the case in full there.

If you have enough content for a thread the request will not be unreasonably denied.


Edit: following discussions amongst staff and in numerous TTS threads i'm unlocking this thread.

Happy posting.
