Content Warning and Disclaimer
Dear Reader,
As you embark on this literary journey, we must offer a sincere caution regarding the content within. This story delves into profound and sensitive themes, including but not limited to instances of sexual assault, sexual harassment, rape, kidnapping, tickling, torture, and LGBTQ+ discrimination. These portrayals are integral to the narrative, aiming to shed light on the complexities of human experiences and societal issues. However, we understand the gravity of these topics and the potential impact they may have on readers.
Our intention in presenting these themes is not to sensationalize or romanticize them in any way. Rather, we strive to explore the depths of human behavior, motivations, and consequences within the context of storytelling. It is our hope that through these portrayals, we can foster empathy, understanding, and meaningful conversations about these important issues.
That said, we recognize the potential for triggering or distressing reactions to the content. Each reader’s experience is unique, and what may be challenging for one person may not be for another. We encourage you to prioritize your emotional well-being while engaging with this material. Should you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or triggered by the content, we urge you to take a step back and prioritize self-care or simply to skip out on the reading all together.
Furthermore, if you or someone you know is experiencing distress related to the themes presented in this story, please know that help and support are available. Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or mental health professionals. Organizations and hotlines specializing in trauma support and LGBTQ+ advocacy are also invaluable resources.
As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community and living with a partner in the same community who is traumatized from her encounter with rape, I know how hard it is. Please take care of yourself first before reading the content in the story.
In essence, while we invite you to immerse yourself in the world we’ve created, we do so with the utmost consideration for your emotional safety and well-being. Your mental health is paramount, and it is always okay to prioritize it above all else.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you find resonance and meaning in the journey ahead.
Warm regards,
Hannah Tingle
