Chapter Text
A few years back, and which I admit with guilt, I would have shamed someone for discontinuing their fic on speculation/drama. I was much younger then and I feel like I have matured.
With that, I do not feel right continuing this. I may rewrite it without Wilbur, but currently, I am not comfortable with it.
In case you have not heard: Shubble has recently come out about an abusive relationship. Many details allude to Wilbur, and it would make me uncomfortable to continue this with any good intent.
I wouldn’t like to make her situation a speculation for her abuser; rather than doing your best to show support for her.
If you’ve never been through any sort of abuse, I urge you to PLEASE keep in mind how hard it is to speak up about these kinds of things. It is not something easily regarded!! I applaud Shubble SO much for speaking up about it at all; especially considering how close he was in her whole friend group. And as a previous victim of abuse, I could not in my right mind continue this.
Quite honestly, I have not even been in the fandom for probably a year and a half now; but I remain still to read the fan fiction the community writes. I will probably still continue reading; but I hate to associate with this fandom.
I would be willing to show what I had planned for this chapter— (I had already written about 2.5k words.) I already had a slowly dying interest in writing this fic, even though I did love the concept. I have other things potentially planned in the future that would NOT involve Wilbur. I will, though, probably end up orphaning this fic.
However, I urge you to do your own research on the situation. Always stand with the victim!! I would not like to continue this with Wilbur playing such a huge role. (Because YES; Wilbur is very well capable of this! You do not know him. You should NOT protect him after all this.)
I know this will not reach many people— (what, with my twenty kudos)— but if it does inform anyone at all, I’d be happy.
