Egg (:

found a very interesting caterpillar in my garden

I have to adress something open to you, something that is going on on bluesky atm.

It is one of the reasons why my chronic illnes is flairing bad up and noramlly I would not adress this on my blog, this blog is not about drama but I feel forced to do it:

(also I don't want you to harass anyone I mentioned in this post, I just want to view my side before they try to ruin my reputation even more. I want you guys just to know my side.)

I got accused of stealing the design form Ava from other artists, coz she has a white suit on and red curls. I proofed afterwards with a statement that she exsisted LONG before I joined the Avatar fandorm. But they don't stop talking openly about my name in bad manners, dragging my name to the mud. So here is my open statement I posted on bluesky already:

Let’s be clear, tropes like white futuristic suits, cybernetics, or cloning are not original concepts (much less the texture or color of a character's hair), they are building blocks. Policing who can use them and accusing others of theft over vague similarities only serves to create fear, exclusion, and hostility. This kind of gatekeeping has real consequences. It's exhausting and emotionally devastating for creators, especially for people who already have to deal with real life struggles. Turning this into a battleground over who’s "allowed" to have fun with an idea or a character concept is cruel. This artist provided receipts, showed that her character predates her joining the fandom, and yet the harassment continues. That’s not about plagiarism, it’s about control, and it needs to stop.

These spaces should be a place for creative freedom, connection, and play. When we start acting like gatekeepers of tropes or aesthetics, we lose sight of what makes these communities special. It's okay to share similar ideas. It’s okay to be inspired. It’s not okay to weaponize vague resemblance into public shaming campaigns.

I’ve witnessed every wave of drama, every original concept, and every kind of interaction this fandom has to offer—which is why I believe I’ve earned the right to speak up about this situation.

There’s a huge difference between being inspired by another artist you admire… or in this case, one you clearly resent.

But straight-up stealing from someone, and then playing dumb about it? That’s an entirely different story.

I understand @chelbizzaro’s frustration. She began working on Simulacra’s AU back in late 2022/early 2023. While I’m not directly involved in that project, I’ve been quietly observing its growth—the interactions, the concepts, the development.

I remember when @knarme-art and @space-blue were part of that AU. Their involvement was very public.

These are some of the posts that were made of Space-blue, it seems that Knarme erased any trace of their participation of the AU, but I do remember how they were active on it.

Eventually, they had a falling out with Chel—for reasons that remain unclear. But as the saying goes: “people are saying…”—and what people are saying is that these individuals have a tendency to harass smaller accounts and stir up drama. I don’t know how true that is—but honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised.

It’s not far-fetched to think that these two took everything they’d knew of Simulacra, and decided to create their own "version" adding @signfromeywa to this "OH new and completely original AU" because of her clout/numbers

And then these...

Let’s be real—it’s not hard to tweak a design, change a color, swap a mood, remix a vibe.

It's something that happened, happens and it will keep happening in popular media...

But they didn’t even bother hiding this plagiarism.

Because, it feels...

As if someone...

Is trying to convey something.

Which tells me: this wasn’t an accident. This wasn’t “omg guys I’m just revamping my OC 🥺” This was calculated, this was completely intentional.

And all of us who have been here long and are not biased by any side can clearly see that.

Wasn't Miles shipped with another OC? A Metkayina OC? @signfromeywa ? Why the sudden change of heart? In less than a month.

Sure, sure, the outfits, the exoskeleton, it all is a coincidence... the ship? Also a coincidence. That specific character of the franchise, the poses, the moods and vibes, continues to be all a coincidence.

"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."

You could’ve changed anything. Even something tiny. A streak of color, a different silhouette. But instead, it was copy-paste. Why? Because you wanted it to be obvious. You wanted to make a statement:

“I can do whatever I want with zero consequences. I can stomp on whoever I want, and my great amount of followers and mutuals with clout will defend me anyway.”

And you had the perfect character that would act like a scapegoat when you were called out. As always, because you're the victim here. Not the people you're stalking and stealing from.

So here’s my conclusion:

For the ones defending this behavior: If you choose to defend the indefensible, that’s on your conscience.

But let’s call it what it is: grown adults, pushing 30, behaving like high school bullies over fictional characters. It’s sad. It’s petty. And it’s beneath you—or at least it should be. Only someone with a very miserable, pitiful life would invest this much energy and time in trying to drag others down to their level.

From where I’m standing, it looks like @knarme-stray and @space-blue are simply using @signfromeywa as their pawn by victimizing herself and villainizing people that are rightfully upset because their creations are getting stolen. With what purpose? Make them look bad? Ruin their reputation? How low.

When you give the wrong people power and attention, they will always have a herd that applaud, defend and justify their behavior—even when it’s clearly wrong to everyone else. And that’s the dangerous part. Not just the theft, but the people enabling it with silence, cowardice, or clout-chasing loyalty.

But hey, at the end of the day… that’s what colonizers do, isn’t it? They take from others. They rename. And they claim it as their own. It’s an irrational behavior, or maybe it’s rational for people that don’t have anything they can call their own.

Something that the Avatar franchise criticizes, Ironically. 

I'm on no one's side

I gotchu, bro:
