Wait, she copies people too? I knew about everything else from before any warning posts, but I've been off Twitter for weeks now so I've not seen anything. I'm sorry you're getting harrassed over this, and that it's spread to other platforms
Yep! Decided I'll just SS my twitter posts so I will leave them under the cut.
It's now deleted, but I QRT'd the post where she called my callout on her "petty" for context. Also, all but 1 of these examples are things that people have come to me about because: 1) I don't check up on people I don't like and 2) I don't necessarily care about copying that much. Most claims are tenuous at best imo.
However, it seems to be a trend I've heard from multiple people, so I decided to bring it up.
Above is a drawing/idea i had for a mutual friend's birthday (first). I know she saw it because she asked me a couple times to draw a caked up silver.
Cute little doodle I did that I turned into a YCH (first). I have her blocked on everything but I guess she saw other people doing it and wanted in.
(If you want to make your own, go for it, but I do think it's weird since she blacklisted me and gets upset seeing my art. Not upset enough to avoid ripping my shit I guess.)
An old gift I did for someone (first) vs a very recent and incredibly fast commission from her (second).
I would say this isn't actionable/is a coincidence if it weren't for the fact that the client themselves agreed it looked weirdly similar and that it was rushed out in like 2 days as opposed to the months she takes on everyone else's comms. Wonder how she got this done so fast.
The only allegation I can personally make happened in my server (when I had one).
I was spitballing ideas for a fantasy AU and I had taken to VC to hash out my ideas because I'm someone who needs feedback for my creative process.
My OG idea was to just take my ship and make it fantasy (thief x person in power) and i played around with it but in the VC I settled back on it.
She then went on, after being in this VC, to take this idea and draw it up that night. She admits she took the idea, even.
This is not the first time she has done something like this. I have it on good authority that she's done this to someone else in their own personal server too. If you discuss an idea for your stuff and people like it, she will take it before you have a chance to finish it.

Been feeling deeply negative and hopeless with a lot of self-neglect and suicidal ideation since November. Life goes on though, and I don't really want to end a calendar year dooming and glooming entirely; despite everything, I have a little hope for next year, and there is so much i really do want to accomplish. I'm also reminded that it's okay to live for the little things... S o, trying to think of things that were good this year and/or that I accomplished, even if small 🫡
In Hobbies
I learned that my keyboard still works after years of sitting in my closet, so I'm gradually getting back into learning how to play and how to read music sheets. This alongside having bought a kalimba on a whim, and generally being glad that although it's been very slow, I haven't given up just because I'm not immediately good at either. My hope is to feel like I've learned enough to justify getting a guitar to learn with next year.
We most definitely aren't hitting our November-made goal of finishing two books by the end of the year, but my best friend and I did begin reading, and that's the important part. It has been fun trying to get back into reading than just thinking about reading and bemoaning how I haven't really tried since school, and I'm hoping after the four books we got together, I can finally get through The Eye of the World!
Likewise started reading fanfiction again. So many authors I've looked at are so skilled and generally amazing, and I'm reminded of how nice it is to just turn the brain off and read about the same characters in different scenarios again and again, with a different flavor each time from the unique writing styles that are out there. Thinking of starting a sideblog where I can comfortably reblog and cry in the tags about my favorite pieces and series /thinking
My brain still short-circuits when I try to crochet and count my stitches, but I started. Again. Grandma bought a bag containing a bunch of little... sample-sized? yarn for me to play with, so I'm going to do my best to learn it properly this time...! Apparently it's good to have a hobby dealing with one's hands, and drawing is too categorized as 'work' in my head to be good for de-stressing I think, so I'm going to hope for the best with this-
My friend and I finally finished the second 'arc' of our roleplay story- after this story has been rebooted long before we could ever hit that point in the past, it's finally done, and we've come out of it with a lot of new characters we love! I'm excited to move onto the next one, as extremely dramatic as it's going to be from the jump lmfao
In Drawing & Work
My decade-old computer is going to be tentatively retired soon, shortly into the new year. I worked hard to afford the newcomer, a funky little mini PC with 8 more gigs of RAM than i am used to working with, and my dear 2010-something PC has earned a rest. Looking forward to something that will hopefully be able to handle my timelapse recordings and letting me get back into editing together videos...!
^ A little more financial responsibility this year than in all the others to get to that goal. I've actually been really good at saving and not impulsively buying things when sad lately.
My work ethic has been better this year, and the old commission queue has been cut down by a lot. It could always be better, but this is a start and it's been a steadier climb than before. I think the waitlist will finally be cleared in the first quarter of 2024.
I've been more adventurous this latter half of the year with YCHs and background work. It's not always successful, but it has to start somewhere. I think I've been a little better at not feeling so immediately down by a lack of feedback there and on other art pieces too, to a degree.
This year did continue the trend of drawing less even for personal enjoyment... but the things i did manage, I think, were more experimental too. I'm ending this year off feeling ambitious for certain projects in 2024, including getting more into making pixel page dolls and trying to make an OC animatic. I've never really done either, but I'm eager.
For design work, I got to do the weapon design for a vtubing friend; the character + weapon design for their friend, and that design was adapted into a vtuber model by one of my favorite artists! Currently now doing another, related design. I also got to do the Genshin verse clothing design for my best friend's OC. It's been a fun year of designing character things in general, after feeling so iffy on my designing capabilities. I like to think I'm improving.
For personal designs, I'm pulling my teeth with finally solidifying the 37+ characters that need to be finalized for story and splash art type things, but I am still fond of a few of this year's OC works! Sarvazad, even if a lot of elements were adapted from Dottore's design to make them kinda match-y; Seijaku's most recent design cleaning, even if it will be updated again soon; and Sirin finally has an outfit that is a step in the right direction I think—to be edited still, because it is not quite the degree of "character is a dying mage but also uses daggers" that i want, but this is closer than she's been in the last decade.
Gradually getting more comfortable in Clip Studio Paint... I still do all my shading in Sai, but at least for sketching, lining, flats and final adjustments, Clip has been good. I like Perfect Pencil and HiBiSoft. For funsies, my favorite brushes are under categories named after the Harbingers/commedia dell'arte.
Trying to learn how to animate little things. It's unfinished, but there was a fun instance with the Red Flags meme, and now trying to learn Procreate Dreams.
In Games
In January, I finally really got into Genshin Impact after only tentatively trying it now and then since its release, and that's been the hyperfixation of the year for sure. I love what lore I understand; the music is everything to me. Polumnia Omnia and everything from Vortex of Legends are still my favorite tracks. A little AU roleplay was done, and although an OCs-getting-isekai'd-into-Teyvat never took off from planning, it was very fun to imagine different scenes and dynamics playing out!
Played a lot of FFXIV with friends and my brothers off and on, finishing Shadowbringers I think this year and tentatively stepping into the beginning of Endwalker. I still need to continue EW, but I know I felt so much and could not stop thinking about the events of Shadowbringers, and just fawning over my WOLs Theia and Sif in general. Re-experiencing ARR in another playthrough has been fun despite the slower beginnings. I don't think Equilibrium will ever be replaced as my favorite music from the game, but... White Stone Black is spoilers for me, but super enjoyable; I didn't know anything about Don Quixote until then, so I can say I learned something from a lyric analysis. And I loooove Dalnodo's cover of Dedicated to Moonlight ♥
Finally in earnest started playing Monster Hunter World with my brothers and my best friend; many laughs, a lot of learning, and me gradually going even more nearsighted and misreading Radobaan's name had us renaming it to Radobean, affectionately just Bean. And then the new MH was announced, so that was a nice surprise-
Misc.
Socially, it feels like this has been both my most and least social year LOL;; I'm still extremely nervous about talking to people, but I'm trying not to be so harsh on myself in the moment. It feels like... it should be less "God I'm abysmal to talk to" and more "It's okay to be awkward. Just be honest and kind." I want to try reaching out to people more. Trying to find the ability to hold a conversation, but that hopefully just comes with practice.
I finally talked a little about what I would perhaps have at least wanted to do, if I had stuck school out. It turns out 'mortician' and 'embalmer' are in the same field but not the same—not really. Embalmers handle preparing the bodies. I don't know yet if that's what I want to do for sure, if I think it'll be worth the schooling and debt—and it feels supremely ambitious whenever I think of jobs that would require leaving the house after being a shut-in for so long—but I think at least talking about the future for once, when my caregiving work is over, instead of staying clammed up about it has helped somehow.
Before dropping out of high school, my room was also my classroom. I realized earlier this Fall that I actually still hate being in my room all these years later. I think, after a bit of cleaning and rearranging and downsizing on a lot of old belongings, I'm a little more willing to be in there besides just to sleep. Little by little, I think that space is becoming mine again.
There are probably other things, but I can't remember them at the moment—and this list ended up getting longer the more i wrote and remembered anyway. I struggled a lot this year, but I think I did more than I've given myself credit for 😌
I guess I can consider this my year wrapped? Something I can look forward to re-reading at the end of next year, and seeing if I progressed in some ways 🙏

@ "iconic" dainties anon, I'd probably use the term "infamous" instead for these guys, but three that immediately pop into my head when I think of the species include:
1. oncha/mazamuno's Mongrel, for being a major player in the trend of dainties with pink hair, torn stockings, and zebra print.
2. Guro-boy's Gutz, mainly because I remember them including a garter on a YCH drawing depicting Gutz as a minor, and it caused a major discussion on an old cs-drama blog. Also, they just seemed to pop up a decent amount in the server prior to the artist's myo scam?
3. That kid dainty that komugitsune / wyvernbites owned before they were banned from the species? I cannot think of the name or find them at the moment, but I remember they had kid dainty that had fully-designed stockings instead of white ones, and I'm pretty sure it was allowed since they created her before the "minors have white stockings" rule became a thing. Like Gutz, I put them on this list due to the discussion the design caused on old cs drama blogs, but also because it felt like she appeared in a decent amount of early prompt announcement images when Komi was still a species mod?
Also, not so much now, but Barbie was SUPER iconic before the npc dainties came along.
