Our Promise to Being Trauma Informed and Inclusive

Lavender Lime Literary

is part of a greater mission committed to ensuring you’re comfortable.

We are a part of a greater vision to help adult survivors of sexual violence reclaim their power and thrive after abuse.

 These Themes are Universal Across our Platforms.

Lavender Lime Literary is a cornerstone of a larger mission.  Artist and founder, Pea Flower Tomioka, is building an inclusive art therapy program for adults recovering from sexual violence.  A systemic sexual violence survivor, Pea is committed to raising the voices and stories of other marginalized creators to help raise awareness and foster beauty from trauma.  Find out more about this process and the other cornerstones below.

  • childhood abuse
  • traumatic responses and triggers
  • PTSD, including descriptions of flashbacks

  • Sexualizes for fetishizes r*pe culture in any way
  • Victim blames
  • Glorifies any form of abuse in any way, such as:
  • Art that glorifies emotionally manipulative relationships.

    • Art that showcases any part of sexual exploration or discovery via the glorification of abuse.
    • Glorifies the sexualization of children

On Trigger Warnings

In the instances in which art or poetry contains references to themes with blatant triggers, such as direct references to abuse, we will always ensure content that may be triggering to our readers comes with a trigger warning.

On Positive Erotica

  • Further, our commitment to inclusive, positive erotica means that you’ll find themes such as:
  • Healthy relationships of all kinds, including a full spectrum of LGBTQ+ relationships, in addition to heteronormative erotica.
  • Polyamory, monogamy, and self-affirming love.
  • People loving every version of themselves, regardless of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, sexual preference, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or body type.  The human condition is most beautiful as it naturally exists inside of us, and we strive to hold this beauty as a mirror for you to love yourself.
