Alright. Iām stepping forward, on the accounts of PinedaleRPG. I was former co-admin, C. I was known as Cat in that roleplay, and Iām here to spread awareness regarding arielrptā¦..
Ah, let me start by saying that this stemmed back way before any Pinedale nonsense. But, before telling you my story, Iād like to kind of knock out all the crap sheās been saying, cause I have them receipts thoughā¦.
Ariel claims my friends bullied her out of her roleplay, well thatās false (she even talks to my friend, D who Ariel apparently said was one of the people who sent anons in the first place, in the receipts below). She even claimed she blocked whoever was sending her hate, so my friend wouldnāt have even been able to send her messages, if it were her? I mean, do these screenshots seem like my friends BULLIED her at all? (MY RECEIPTS: X X X X X)
She said that we talked major shit, which isnāt true. We also did interact with others, as shown on the blogs. My friends and I did talk to people ooc and even plotted. I donāt know what Ariel is talking about. If you want to check out our character blogs, you can find them all here: Rās CHARACTER BLOG. DāS CHARACTER BLOG. I deleted everything off my blog cause Ariel and I were 1x1-ing, but you can find it @alyssagarciaftw
And so what if we called ourselves the shade squad? I mean, people give their squads names all the time, and last time I checked her squadās name was SALT SQUAD, soooo??? (RECEIPTS: X)
Ariel claims IāM the abusive one. Well, right HERE she admits to making me drop my friends (Emmy, R, and D) just cause they were SHADY to her. She also admits to making me not take the mental break I needed- which is damaging to my mental health (this is also spoken about in my story below, where I have the exact screenshots of her telling me I shouldnāt go and her GUILTING me to stay). It is also portrayed in my responses after her, just how selfless and caring and loyal I am and how manipulative she is cause she flat-out says sheās manipulative but I try to soothe her thoughts (oh, yeah⦠cause Iām SOOOOO abusive, right?) Oh, oh, and a bonus one of her guilting me some more by saying I favored everyone else, and then I mention me dropping all my other friends for her HERE.
Plus, I mean, just looking at my RPT url tag on Tumblr, you can actually see me helping people, talking to friends, being nice and friendly to everyone: HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE.Ā
D & R are literally 13 and 16 (R just turned 16) years of age? Ariel is literally pointing fingers at minors over her roleplay being turned to crap and then blamed them for stealing her roleplay idea when they just wanted to roleplay ships and never had the intention for a group, to begin with (and the characters were theirs?)? Not to mention, they were literally SCARED of her? R actually was too scared to message Ariel directly about certain things an would come to me about it (screenshots are spoken about in story below).Ā
Also, anons went to an RPT about her, first.Ā R saw a negative post about Pinedale posted on an RPT and told me about it. I thought it was cool that people were finally stepping forward. Then, a day later, Elliot texted me and told me the RPT wanted to know the full story, so I told her. I am in no way responsible for the anons sent to the RPT. They are all witnessā claims and emotions towards what has happened. So, that should just sum up how āgreatā Ariel is⦠:) Also backs up my claim that people are scared to step up, seeing that itās been a while and it took one person to say something to start all this. Not to mention that they were anonymous to hide the accusersā identities. But thatās okay, Iām speaking for all of us, now. Cause, you know, she thinks itās me sending the anons anyway?Ā
One final note, Ariel claims I was shading her or indirecting her on my blog- thatās not the truth. She would blatantly STALK my blog and then text me, accusingly, thinking they were about her. They werenāt. This is her apologizing for assuming and also just coming out and pointing fingers. (RECEIPTS: HERE. HERE. HERE.) (more screenshots in story).
Alright! Story time⦠Iām not here to cause drama, but to spread awareness and clear up what other people are claiming around the RPC, and to also expose Ariel and her lies about my friends and I. So, my friend Jess was part of Recupero. She asked me to join up, since I have been depressed around that time and she knew I loved to write and that I missed roleplaying. I didnāt want to join at first, but then my friend Paul said heād join with me and we can have a cute little ship. I kind of relaxed and accepted to join because my friends would be there and maybe Iād feel a bit better. Upon my arrival, a month into the roleplay, I met Ariel. Our characters hit it off, and they actually started to grow closer. Due to this, Paul started getting aggressive towards me ooc and we soon stopped being friends cause I didnāt need negativity like that. And Ariel was there for me through that. Everything was okay and I became friends with a few other people in the roleplay: Rose, Emmy, and Phoebe. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, except for Ch. She (according to Ariel) tried getting Ariel to cut me off, and then she was forcing plots on us that we just didnāt want, so she immediately didnāt like me. Then, when my character actually slept with Arielās character, people blew things out of proportion and started lashing out at me ooc through anons. Then, the admins contacted me about a few people in the roleplay thinking I was being too nasty with my character and that I was blowing things into something they shouldnāt be. What they said wasnāt true and I provided screenshots of those people playing nice and plotting with me via inbox and then I told Ariel I was leaving to join Emmyās roleplay. Because I couldnāt be a part of a roleplay where the members took a ship too seriously ooc and where the members complained about me being ātoo niceā and that I ācame off too strongā and the admins agreed with it?Ā
So, Ariel followed along with the ship but then that roleplay died. We continued the ship as a 1x1. Then, she came up with an idea for a spy roleplay (Sicarius). Now, not too long into the roleplay, Ch joined. I thought it was strange and I asked Ariel about it and apparently they became close? I felt sort of terrible about it and then Ariel finally came clean flat-out saying she knew she had a dirty conscious about it because of my trust issues and told me about her 1x1-ing her character with Ch. I then was mad because she blatantly was telling me how much she hated Ch for trying to ruin our friendship like the day before, and I have trust issues due to my past. I forgave her, though my trust with her was frayed. The character I played was really dark in that roleplay and soon took a toll on me so I told her I was going to have to leave. She was okay with it until later on and she realized only a few people would be left so she closed the roleplay. Now, this is where she continued playing her character but taking my ideas for our 1x1ās and using them for hers and this other girlās who was part of Sicarius and I wouldnāt have known if I never needed to use my old characterās account for something new. That made me grow more distant with her, cause I knew if I confronted her then sheād claim it wasnāt true. Now, this is where Pinedale comes to play.
During Pinedale, everything went downhill very fast. Her coadmin left so I volunteered to help. I went by Admin C to hide my name from those who were associated with Recupero. Then, D and R joined and we grew close. Ariel didnāt like that too much. She began to say that they were shady and that they made her uncomfortable. I didnāt understand that. Theyāre nice people? So, going on with the roleplay, she started picking fights with me over every little thing. She had an accepting-right-away thing going on, so I thought I could do that too for my friend, but she got mad. She then started talking shit about my friends and I would stick up for them and sheād get mad. She started to manipulate me into doing plots with her and ooc sheād explain to me very triggering things that would put me into a depression and actually wind up calling my friends cause it triggered me but I stuck it out to help her.
Ā Well, I wanted my friend Emmy from Recupero to join and Admin Ariel hated the idea. I asked her why and she just said that Emmy was shady af and that she hated her. Thatās when tension grew tremendously because she said that I was defending Emmy and that I never defended her. She then told me a whole load of shit about Emmy, thinking she knew her better than me when she never even talked to her (though she claimed she has. Emmy told me different, and Emmy has never once lied to me). Also, Ariel claimed she handled it differently than how she actually did. (SCREENSHOTS: X X X X)
It was when Ariel had her two friends join, that things went downhill. Her one friend, N, was a part of the roleplay for 1-2 week(s)Ā and then Ariel told me to tell D to change the formatting of her roleplay responses because N has dyslexia. Honestly, I didnāt believe it. If N had a problem, she wouldāve filled it out in her app or Ariel wouldāve said something before hand. I knew she just wanted D to leave. I tried defending D and that turned into a new argument which made me ask D to apologize to Ariel (not even N, which still makes no sense to me) and Ariel didnāt like how she worded the apology so she didnāt accept it.Ā
Then, she started an argument with me over my Lauren Jauregui FC and Rās Dylan O'Brien FC being twins because they werenāt of the same background. Ā At the time, Rose and I planned for them to be half-Cuban and half-White, which Admin A said was whitewashing but my friend who was actually Cuban and part of the roleplay said that it was okay and not white washing because Dylan had a hispanic background and could pass, but Ariel said her and her friend, K, had a problem with it? I didnāt understand at the time about the whole ethnic basis of the problem (Iām educated about it now), and Ariel attacked me over it instead of educated me. I just replied saying that I was sorry but neither had a Cuban background and therefore could not speak for the Cubanās behalf and I would continue with the plot cause my friend confirmed it was okay before we put it into motion, and it also made Cole mad that these people who didnāt have his background were talking for him.Ā
Then, through another argument, Ariel said that she wanted to close down the roleplay. I asked why and she said she was getting hate messages and has been since the roleplay started, which is entirely false because I was always on the mainās account on my phone and never received anon message notifications like that. I explained this to her and she started up a sob story about how I never believe her and I told her āHow could I ever since you lied to me way back then and I always still catch you lying?ā so we got into another argument and she said she was going on break cause her emotions were taking a toll and I said I could continue the roleplay for her, but she then lashed out saying I was being insensitive for wanting to do so and then I brought up the Sicarius situation and how she tried continuing that after I needed to leave cause it got too emotionally straining for me and I was also feeling the pressure of my internet addiction, but she denied that ever happened (SCREENSHOTS OF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING: HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE. HERE.).Ā
Ultimately, she let me run the roleplay and I thought itād be cute to have a musings blog for the roleplay (not really knowing of musings blogs at the time), but people then started attacking anonymously (it was only two people and I knew that they were her friends cause she wanted the rp shut down). Eventually I just gave up and let it shut down but R, D, S and I wanted to continue our characters so we started just playing them? IDK what youād call it? A 2x2? Well, Ariel found out and went on this long ass rant about how R and D stole her RP idea? But that made no sense? And she was trashing their names in the rpc and actually tagging their accounts (personal and rphs)? So I confronted her, defending them, telling her that itās like how we continued our ship after the rpg (recupero) died, so how was this different? Cause they were OC characters, they were OURS. We werenāt even creating a rpg? So she went on to explain how she didnāt like them from the start and how Rose made her uncomfortable, yet they never spoke and their characters never responded to one anotherās cause Ariel would ignore Rās replies. But, in the end, I got R to apologize to Ariel so sheād stop fuming over the whole subject. Being TOO SCARED to talk to her, R sent me the apology which I screenshotted and sent to Ariel- she denied that apology too (SCREENSHOTS: X X X X).Ā
Anyway, our conversations would just turn into arguments all the time and I said I needed a break from texting her and then she responded that she wouldnāt be there for me when I came back to talk to her again (SCREENSHOTS HERE: X X X X) Which, is MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE. I started to cry cause I knew her for a year at this point and I grew an emotional attachment and she knew that. She was just manipulating me to stay. She was always manipulative, when I look back on it. Whenever weād get into a fight and Iām right, sheād claim sheās just depressed or something tragic happened. There was this one time she claimed she had black blood and that she was dying. She took advantage of me being nice. She pushed my emotional and mental problems aside for herself. I, of course, caught onto it but she would always explain how suicidal she was and how important I was to her that I was afraid if I cut her off, sheād actually well, you know⦠So I continued to talk to her and around this time my one friend found her 1x1 blog and informed me that she has a character exactly like mine from Pinedale but with a different name. She kept the Lauren Jauregui FC though. That made me more mad.Ā
We got into another fight cause she stopped talking to me this one day but kept posting on her rpt and she said she was in the mental hospital and she was pissed cause I never texted to see if she was okay. I told her that she didnāt have a queue tag for her posts so I just assumed she needed space from me cause there were days where she wouldnāt text me or answer me back for a while, but she wouldnāt see my POV (SCREENSHOTS HERE: X X X X X X X X). We then got into another fight and it was over if my friends were even real? She claimed I made them all up and created accounts to talk to myself? She was saying none of it added up (THIS WAS A LONG AND CONFUSING ARGUMENT AND YOU GUYS DONāT KNOW WHO WEāRE TALKING ABOUT SO I ONLY TOOK ONE SCREENSHOT HERE). Anyway, Ā awhile after that argument, we stopped talking. On her RPT she still continued to reblog stuff for our ships and I was really confused. Iām a person who needs to know if weāre done or not. She just kept posting inspos for our ships and our characters on her rpt and I never really thought to text her cause I thought sheād text me when she was ready, cause after all, I was the one who responded last to our messages.Ā
Well, time went on and so I went on one of our 1x1ās cause I was fixing up her account and I sent her a message, knowing she had some application that allowed her to receive notifications from all her accounts. She never responded back. It was about a week later from that message where I posted āding dong the wicked witch is deadā cause my friend and I cut off this one girl who was just toxic. Ariel texted me this long para saying how I was being immature, thinking that I was referring to a post she made about leaving the RPC- which I responded saying how I was hurt sheād think so lowly of me. She then went on to apologize and say how she meant to respond to our threads and how she meant to actually text me but she was going through something. I responded late cause I was in the midst of family stuff and I apologized for not answering sooner and she said it was okay and that if I wanted to talk later, then I could. I said I was fine and then asked her what was wrong and she claimed she never said anything was wrong in the first place. She then said āGuess this is goodbyeā and I then explained my confusion and she said āWell Iām a confusing person, I donāt know what to tell youā I then tried saying how I needed a validation as to if we were friends or not and if we were continuing threads and then she just did a 180 and was saying how important I was to her and thatās why she was saying goodbye in a formal way and I said if I were important then she wouldnāt have just stopped texting and she wouldāve told me what was up. She claimed she hasnāt been wanting to talk to me for months, but I called her out for reblogging ship inspos and I was like āYou donāt think I should be confused by that?ā Things got nasty and she started saying I would always take advantage of her when she was down and that I was never supporting her and how shitty of a friend I was. Listen. You can say a lot about me, but you canāt call me a shitty friend cause Iām just not? So I finally came out and told her about how everything sheād say would trigger me but I stuck it out to help her, and thatās not a shitty friend. I then started listing all the things sheās done and I said that THAT was what a shitty friend was.Ā
I also then told her that the anons I received from the main came from the states her two friends were from, so I knew they were behind all that drama and not my friends. She then kept saying how there were MANY people from Canada who were part of the RPG, which wasnāt true. She also attacked me for talking shit about her friends, and when I called her friends out for talking shit, her response was āI never said my friends were angels.ā Which, I freaked out cause she went and pointed the finger at my friends, and that was a line and we just said our goodbyes and that was that, but then she went on her rpt and started shading so I shaded back and then blocked her.Ā
But in all truth, she was just a possessive bitch who took my ideas, lied constantly, took advantage of my selflessness, pushed my mental health aside for her benefit. She even claimed my trust issues werenāt real along with my depression and sheād yell at me over it. She was manipulative in the way that sheād use her āillnessesā (in quotations cause I dunno what to believe anymore. I mean, she was supposed to die cause of her BLACK BLOOD like a while ago sooo????) to guilt me into still being her friend. Iām just glad Iām out of that relationship with her? Like I feel so much better? And she was just so hypocritical in the way that she just stopped talking to me to cater her own āneedsā yet when I needed space for mental reasons she said she wouldnāt be there for me if I ever came back? Like? I donāt know how anyone could deal with her. I even apologized to her for not being strong enough to help both me and her, yet she just trashed me saying how āI thought you liked helping people? This is funny to meā which was part of our last argument. Anyway, yeah. Thatās the story behind ArielRPT. Sheās just a terrible person, and Iām the type of person who likes to think people arenāt very mean, underneath it all. But, it looks like I stand corrected. Whose the liar now, babe?Ā
If anyone wants screenshots or has questions, just message me and Iām open to answering your questions and talking about this. Iām just done with her lying and blaming and dragging my friend and I. This is it. Iām done.
P.S. She claims IĀ āstoleā her character, when sheās the one who stole Mason from Recupero :))))Ā
