*DO NOT HARASS USERS*
This is a warning post against @/Vilyawielder, aka @/TheSevenofMine, and formerly known as @/Elrond_47. This post ties into their current bigoted tirades (Others welcome to link) but covers a personal event that may impact others. (THREAD)
*DO NOT HARASS USERS*
This is a warning post against @/Vilyawielder, aka @/TheSevenofMine, and formerly known as @/Elrond_47. This post ties into their current bigoted tirades (Others welcome to link) but covers a personal event that may impact others. (THREAD)
For some background, âVilyaâ was a positivity/mental health/light RP account posing as Elrond from LOTR. Their content consisted of basically that; posting kind reminders daily for people and engaging in lighthearted rp with other accounts, and saying their DMs were always open
On Nov. 4th, they posted this thread. At the time I saw it, it had yet to really be responded to, though they made a post vaguing others had spread misinformation about them. Still very early into their tirade, I decided to reach out to them. https://twitter.com/Vilyawielder/status/1324003659777191940?s=20
I wasnât aware of their ongoing spats with others when I did. It is no oneâs job to do this emotional labor, and I stand by those who called their behavior out. As I had been closer with them and chatted often, I thought optimistically that I could get them to see reason
I am posting my own initial DMs for credibility; For context, I approached from a middle ground in order to gauge just how rooted their opinions were, and if they were salvageable/how I could approach speaking to them. I did not, and still very do not, side with them at all.
I admit this was not my best explanation and I would word things differently if I could go back, mostly to clarify a harder stance that I meant more âhistorical accuracy like this may work in a perfect world because there would be no harm against minorities, but not in realityâ
At this point, I had gone to nap. (My sleep schedule is INCREDIBLY fucked, hence why I didnât see almost anything else of their tirade until only recently, because it just does not show up on my TL).
When I woke up, this is what I received:
(Prefacing, Kassâ pronouns are she/her. I had not known who she was until this conversation, and I apologize for using they/them. I cannot speak to Vilyaâs awareness.
Last two are the screens Vilya provided.)

Suicide is something that has affected me greatly, and I do not take well to it. No matter how many times it has been weaponized against me, I always, always will take it seriously because of what has happened in my past. My panicked responses reflect this:
Suicide is something that has affected me greatly, and I do not take well to it. No matter how many times it has been weaponized against me, I always, always will take it seriously because of what has happened in my past. My panicked responses reflect this:
After this, I received no more messages from Vilya. I worked for hours with another friend to try and find their main or anyone who is their friend, to ensure they were alive. A few hours after this, I notice they have unfollowed me, and I safely block with that knowledge
Because of all that happened, I purposefully avoided their account unless it was to check to see if they were still alive. However, going back, I wish to highlight just a few messages as they publicly tried to guilt others to their side, under the same or similar threats:
I had another (Remaining anon) account express to me that Vilya had sent them triggering messages, which leads to my concern that others may become affected. This level of guilt tripping under one of the worst threats is something that I cannot sit with when others can be harmed
This is not counting the vile behavior they have exhibited since then, and I encourage those who have threads to link them. I have been avoiding their content due to the gutting effect they have had on me, so I did not want to speak on topics Iâve not been able to look into
No one has made false statements. No one has made up lies. People are reacting to their *Genuinely harmful* takes. What happened to the âLearn and improveâ part of this message, sent- surprisingly - ⊠directly after they went off on me for doing so?
I shall wrap this up, but I would encourage you to be wary of this account and/or block if you are in the LOTR or Trek twitter spheres. This level of manipulation coming from someone who has advocated for mental health awareness, esp. as my comfort char, has put cold dread in me.
My fears of making this thread were that they have personal information of mine I would prefer not being out; If any of it is outed, please know it is NOT consensual, and link me so I may see what I can do. I still feel shaky on it, but I want people to be safe.
Again, please do NOT harass them- but also note that pointing out horrid behavior is not harassing. I do not wish harm on them, and especially not death, but now it is a matter of protecting others from the same.
Thank you. Be safe, y'all. (END)
