Mention of S/H / Su*cidal thoughts
Reality Checking
Borderline Manipulation (if not downright manipulation itself)
And honestly, just fucked up shit. Tread lightly, please.

I’m just gonna get straight to the point.
THIS KIND OF SHIT, IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. And throughout the entirety of this informative piece / callout ( .. i guess? ) we will be facing topics of a similar nature. I am sick and tired of my friend hurting themself because of some victim-complex ridden asshole who can’t get his head out of his fucking ass. You need to grow the FUCK UP and get a fucking grip. You are obviously NOT IN YOUR RIGHT MIND, if you’re acting like this, and you seriously need to get the fuck off of social media. You have hurt SEVERAL people. Pico isn’t the only one. I’m not going to get into those cases, because they don’t involve me – but that doesn’t change the fact that they fucking happened. Benjamin, if you see this, you make me fucking sick to my stomach. You are not a victim. Stop painting yourself as one.
Let’s get started, though, shall we? I think I’ve had enough banter.

As some may or may not know, @kimuraining and @benjaminfairest met on instagram on April third of 2022. Pico and I were on the bus on our way to a band concert whenever the two first conversed, and it’s safe to say that they got along quite well. Both were very excited to finally reunite with each other, due to @kimuraining being IRL Pico N. Grounds and @benjaminfairest being IRL Benjamin Fairest. Soon enough, due to their shared romantic source memories and nice take-off, the two began dating. Throughout the entire ordeal, I have to admit, I, myself, was a little skeptical of their relationship working out due to the fact that one of Benjamin’s largest triggers was one of Pico’s sources and largest hyperfixations. The source was Genshin Impact. That remains the same even now.
At some point, Pico expressed their feeling of doubt and nervousness about they and Benjamin’s relationship, coming to the conclusion that they were making Benjamin uncomfortable, possibly sending him into several meltdowns, etcetera. I personally didn’t know what to do about it, so I called another friend of ours, who I’ll refer to as Dee, for their own personal reasons I will not be covering.
I remember several times Pico would ramble about their hyperfixation on their instagram stories and then, mere minutes later, they would delete said ramble in fear of triggering their significant other. I’ve also been informed that Benjamin would downright shit talk Genshin Pico in several instances – included to their fucking face – and it caused them to relapse several times. At some point, Benjamin did say that they felt bad – but there was never an actual apology, which is kind of shitty on his end, but that’s not even the worst of it, so I won’t stick there for too long.
On May thirteenth of 2022, Pico finally mustered up the courage to break off the relationship between he and Benjamin because of their belief that they weren’t respecting Benjamin’s boundaries enough, and that they weren’t a good enough person to date him. It didn’t go much further than that – and all they did was break up with Benjamin because of Benjamin’s personal discomfort.
..That doesn’t sound bad to me at all.
Not the point!
Benjamin was posting several vents about the breakup on their CF story, and it was making Pico feel extremely uncomfortable due to the fact that it was literally all negative things being said about them – and I forgot to mention, but they felt horrible as it is – so they reached out to Benjamin, asking to be removed from the CF list or blocked.
Now here’s where things get fucking twisted.
Several times, Benjamin has stated that Pico cut ties with him.
In reality, Benjamin was given two choices. To either remove Pico from the close friends list, or block them entirely.
Guess which fucking option he chose.
Well, time passes, and Pico begins to feel guilt eating away at their system, because I mean. Seeing a lot of vents related to you, even if you aren’t in the wrong, will still fuck you up. Because of this, they apologized to Benjamin, despite doing.. Absolutely nothing wrong?
Pico didn’t cut anyone off. They only broke up with Benjamin for, again, LIKE I SAID, BENJAMIN’S COMFORT.
I think I forgot to mention this, but Benjamin was borderline CHEATING on Pico with a double. So. I dunno.
Update as of 7/27/22 : Pico has personally asked me to stop here, because they would like to make their own callout on Benjamin. This will be released to the public on @picongrounds on instagram today.
Don’t forget to read Pico’s documentation as well.
