Shadow Banding

A reactive emotional pattern that develops in response to the rubber band effect. When one partner repeatedly snaps back into the relationship, the other—wary of the cycle—begins forming secret emotional or romantic connections. Shadow banding is the quiet stretch: a hidden coping mechanism born from mistrust, grief, or emotional exhaustion. It’s not about cheating—it’s about survival when the relationship feels unstable or unsafe.

After she came back and ran off the girls I was dating, I started shadow banding—keeping quiet connections just in case she left again.

Shadow-punishment

Shadow-punishment: the punishment, off-the-books, of people who committed a wrongdoing. Wrongdoing committed either from being mentally-manipulated through technology or social-engineering, or both. Shadow-punishment is a way that fascism lives on, especially considering its usage without the target's knowledge or expressed-consent. Actions so cruel and unacceptable, committed without the target's knowledge, generally while the target is asleep, or by a group the target is or isn't a part of. Those unacceptable actions include torture, assault, poisoning, controlling others to harm the target, false-implication. All based around the target's unacceptance of prostitution, labor-slavery and sexual-slavery, and/or because the target has some influence and protests the status-quo. Shadow-punishment is a way for fascism, revenge, darwinism, sexual-slavery, labor-slavery, rape, assault, pedophilia, torture, theft, poisoning, magick, rape using mental manipulation technology on minors, teenagers, adults, disabled people, people receiving social-service-benefits— to all be accepted and normalized by the people who do those actions.

That girl complaining about being assaulted as a child, was shadow-punished by assaulting her in her sleep, because the perpetrators made her seem like a prostitute.

That girl was sacrificed to expose the pitfalls of mental-manipulation-technology, using shadow-punishment.
People didn't believe that person was being hurt because they considered that person deserving of shadow-punishment.

Wakame Shadows are very metallic and shiny shadows and stripes popularised internationally by effects animators Masahito Yamashita and Hirotoshi Sano.
