your ultraviolent heart

It troubles me that I have to share this again, but here we are! The battle is not over it seems, and someone doesn't know when to learn. BEWARE of Carina Ayland on all socials!

This artist has a long history of stealing designs, color palettes from existing characters without permission, tracing (and selling things with those traced lines, such as her adolescent base), scams, harassment, lore theft, ko-fi leaks and much more. Please refer to the doc for all evidence (there is a LOT, so please view it either on desktop or in the Google docs mobile app - the web app won’t do it justice and there’s too much to post here):

After the ‘resolution’ in March, Carina has continued to steal designs, trace content, and is pushing her ‘Aethyrian dragons are stolen!’ harassment campaign, even now. She was warned to end her theft, to stop the harassment, and she had agreed… but apparently never actually stopped.

The majority of her content has been stolen from TLOS communities like Destiny Intertwined, or other RPGs and fantasy worlds like BTACD. She will claim her theft is because of adhd or a ‘skill issue’. It is not.

Please DO NOT allow this person into your communities! Do not buy art - designs, commissions, bases, etc - from her, you will not know what is stolen and what isn’t! Do not allow her access to your characters, art, designs or lore! IGNORE, BLOCK, REPORT!

Then, when your friend takes a minute to go to the bathroom, grab your phone and take a photo of your friend's phone sitting on your table. Do not touch it, and put your own phone back exactly where it was immediately once you've got the picture. Carry on with whatever you two were doing.

Once your time is up and your friend has left for home, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, for them to either get back home or be well on their way there. Text your friend, "hey, you forgot your phone", and send them the photo you took of their phone on your table. Set a stopwatch running from the moment your friend sees the message.

HEY-

found this reel from RoscoMcClelland and he was even funnier in the comments
