I really hate having to make a journal entry regarding this, but I was just viciously harassed for refusing to take a commission (even though it states blatantly on my profile that I don't do that) and thought it would probably be a good idea to warn others. Just read the most recent conversation in the comment section of one of my Balto fanpieces The Whole Brood and you'll see exactly what I mean... I noticed he seems to be doing this only to artists who don't take requests/commissions/etc. and knowing that a lot of my friends/watchers fall into that category, I was naturally worried. The strange thing - besides his apparent "nightmares" that only seem to happen when somebody tells him "no" - is the fact that this nutjob isn't even a watcher of mine and yet he somehow "knew" me and felt this necessary :/ I'm pretty pissed off and upset but more shaken up than anything else, I blocked him of course but now I'm worried about everyone else - even if he doesn't try to "retaliate" against any of my friends like most of these types of psychos do, I can't help but feel for the other artists he could be potentially harassing (I already know for sure that he's moved on to one canine artist, leaving her the same incoherent nonsensical garbage in her comments)
I really don't want to make anything out of this, I just want everyone to watch out - if you get any random watches or strange comments from that username, just block them immediately for your own sake.

UPDATE: They've now deleted the reupload of my fanart, but I'm not sure about deleting this journal just yet because I'm pretty sure this person is stealing from others as well and I figured this entry may help serve as evidence if that's the case. They were extremely nonchalant when confronted and actually had the audacity to ask me permission to use the drawing (yes, only AFTER getting called out...). I have a feeling they probably didn't learn anything from this and will just keep reposting other people's work. Here's their page in case anyone wants to take a look at the gallery and see if they recognize anything else that's stolen: Solgalovamaria - Hobbyist, General Artist | DeviantArt (OG entry below) I hate that I'm having to make an entry like this after being able to go so long without having any of my work stolen, but I was just informed that a piece of Aleu and Vitani fanart I made years ago was taken and reuploaded without my permission. Here's the original: And here's
Posting this for poll purposes since DA sucks
Thanks to the absolutely ridiculous typing limit on polls, I have no choice but to make a journal entry for this, so I apologize in advance for wasting space in your notifications x_x Should I share my new DA publicly in a journal or only share it privately via note? Publicly - There's no point in trying to separate yourself from the "Child-Of-Hades" account. If anyone decides to use your old account against you then they'll simply accuse you of trying to hide and it'll only make you look bad. Privately - The whole point in making a new account was to try to let go of the weight on your shoulders and allowing your new DA to be attached to your old one is basically carrying that weight with you. If someone connects the dots and directly asks you if Child-Of-Hades is your account, then simply own up to it and say you're trying to move on. At least that way you're being honest even if you no longer wish to associate with this account. Please cast your votes here so I can have some
Should I try starting over?
I've thought about this for a while, but I'm not sure whether or not I should do it. Do any of you think it'd be a good idea for me to move to a new account? I have no intentions of deactivating this one, but I'm curious if maybe I should try to give myself a "fresh start". This account was created and maintained throughout some of the worst years of my life, and as such I've said and done a lot of things I deeply regret. I don't care if I was undiagnosed/unmedicated at the time, mental illness is not, has never been, and will never be an excuse. I don't believe in pretending the past never happened, but I'm not entirely comfortable going on with this account when I know what a shitty person I've been. No amount of deleting or storing past cringey shit is ever going to make me feel better. What's stopping me is the fact that I've had this account for so long and made so many wonderful friends and good memories here that it feels like all of that would somehow go to waste if I tried
RIP Sarafina
I've been putting this off for the last few days because I couldn't bring myself to properly articulate it, but it's about time I made a post regarding this. March 17 marked a turning point in my life and not for the better. Sarafina's health had been deteriorating for several weeks, it got to where we couldn't get her to eat any food and the only thing she would drink was a few sips of milk. She lost an alarming amount of weight and struggled with breathing problems. We knew what was coming but tried to keep her as comfortable and content as possible. That day, my mom brought Sarafina outside with her for some fresh air, but because she was babysitting my little cousin, she forgot to keep an eye on our cat. By the time I was made aware of this and rushed out to check on her, Sarafina had already wandered off of the porch and was nowhere to be found in the yard. We searched for hours in the wooded area around our house but could never find her, not even when we searched again the

Wow, people should be more respectful of artists. >.< If they don't want to take requests or commissions or whatever, then that's their choice. I can't believe someone would harass people over it. That's just messed up. Sorry they did that to you. Dx
