[ opt-out & opt-in. ]

Tsav is a character who was raised under pretty horrific circumstances, and though it's generally played for comedy within his series (in that nobody really wants to listen to him), objectively speaking, he touches upon some pretty sensitive subjects on a regular basis. As such, it felt only right to offer the chance to opt out or opt in to interactions with him.

Opt-out.

Tsav was taken in by a cult at a young age and raised to be an assassin, and as such, he was put through a gauntlet of pretty harrowing experiences. As an adult, Tsav has the tendency to bring up his horrific past without warning, and likes presenting it as part of his 'tragic backstory.' Though he doesn't go into too much detail without further prompting, and will usually change the subject if yelled at, it's unfortunately pretty central to his character that he wants to talk at people about his past in light-hearted fashion despite the disturbing nature of what he's actually saying.

Events from his childhood include:
- children being made to kill each other
- child abduction and subsequent ritual sacrifice
- torture and other abusive training methods
- solitary confinement
- starvation, sleep deprivation
- forced drug use and deliberate poisoning
... and probably more.

If you would like me to avoid any specific subject, then please just let me know (as well as any other journals you use, if desired) in the opt-out section below! I will keep it in mind going forth.

Otherwise, if you're uncomfortable with distressing subjects being brought up without warning ... then I'm afraid it might be best to opt out of interactions with Tsav entirely. Please just let me know in the opt-out section below (as well as any other journals you use, if desired) and I'll make a note of it going forth, no questions asked.

Opt-in. (cw: sexual abuse of children)

It's stated within canon that, in addition to the above atrocities, the cult that raised Tsav also used "pleasure" as one of its many methods for brainwashing its child subjects. As Tsav was considered a stubborn problem child by the cult, I think it's probably a given that he experienced some pretty horrific sexual abuse while growing up.

Due to the extra-sensitive nature of this subject, I won't be treating this like the other unpleasant subjects he brings up without warning.

Only if you opt-in, he might casually mention the subject, specifically during threads of a sexual nature, in the same way that he brings up his other horrible experiences during regular conversation. (Of course, I'll try to warn in the headers and such whenever the subject comes up.) If you're okay with the subject being brought up and/or are interested in ICly touching upon the subject, then please let me know in the opt-in comment below, and I'll make a note of it!
