#blasticart

Blasticheart is a COVERT NARCISSIST.

Behavioral Patterns: Playing the victim to gain sympathy from the audience. Posting art solely for likes. Exploiting the same repetitive themes. A vacuum of worship has been created around the artist by "FLYING MONKEYS" (a term for those who defend a covert narcissist)

Her behavior mirrors YANDERE DEV: one unfinished game after 10 years, constant guilt-tripping of fans, personal degradation, and a complete lack of development.

BLASTICHEART avoids open communication with her audience not because she can’t answer, but because she refuses to spend her "resource" on anything else. Covert narcissists love to appear as "deep personalities" while constantly demanding attention.

Manipulative Tactics: She can frame anyone as an aggressor just to paint herself as the victim again. She meticulously monitors her space because she is terrified of being exposed. To her, the audience and their attention are just a resource, not allies.

holyschnitzel, her co-author, knows the truth about the covert narcissist but chose to ignore the warnings. She constantly wears a mask of friendliness. It’s hard to see her true character when you hit a wall, but egocentrism and hypocrisy are present. They are not friends. She answers trivial questions only to create an illusion of being busy.

Questions regarding the game’s completion status are ignored.

A covert narcissist doesn't care about the final result (the game); what matters to them is the ongoing process of being pitied by others.

Watch the behavioral patterns.

This is being sent to everyone.

I'm going to respond to this very publicly because I'm not going to put up with it.

First of all, if you're going to go around making such baseless accusations with pathetic excuses of what you would like to believe passes for "evidence", then you should at the VERY least have the decency to make yourself known instead of being the type of coward to hide behind anon.

Secondly, moving onto your WILD accusations. Have you ever been depressed? Have you ever spent days laying in bed convinced that you're fine because you don't feel sad? Have you, wretched anon, ever had to force yourself to eat because you know that your body needs it even though it's the last thing that sounds good? Have you ever had to force yourself to do the things that you used to enjoy even though they take so much more energy than they should because now you have a fanbase and fans not to disappoint? If so, sure. I'll eat my words. But, something tells me that you definitely haven't. Talking about their mental health? We're going to criticize someone for that now? Blastic is one of the only people I've seen who admits that things like depression are chronic. They may go away for a bit, but they can come back too. And even if they are posting for likes WHAT DO YOU WHINK SOCIAL MEDIA IS FOR!? Saying someone is posting for likes is the equivalent of saying that someone is fishing for fish.

You want to bring up yandere dev? I don't know much about the situation, so I'll admit that I'm not educated enough to comment. What I do feel educated enough to comment on is Inkly's Tumblr and the wonderful game they and holyshnitzel are working on. I've been following inkly for years, they've been a huge encouragement to me in creating art. Even when I was stupid and had just started digital, and stole their lineart to color in without actually asking. I look back on it fondly because it was really my dive into digital art, and inkly didn't shame me for it. Inkly has been working on a visual novel for their beloved characters. One that is undeniably taboo and absolutely puts the gore in gorgeous! Not to mention, they've been supporting themselves and their mental health while also making art for Tumblr and the game. That takes so much, and I respect both of them greatly. They have no obligation to answer questions about games completion, especially when stage creep (I think that's what it's called in the game dev community) is a thing! Aka: The game started simple but the further into development the more ideas wanted to be added.

There are so many more issues issues in the world, and you're going to choose to mewl into the void of the internet about not getting updates that are NOT owed to you, like a cat complaining about seeing the bottom of its bowl? I'm disappointed in you. And I sincerely hope that you reflect on who you are and why you feel the need to spread biased hate like this for seemingly no reason. Do you even realize how hypocritical you sound? To judge someone else, publicly no less, as if you have any right to believe yourself better?

I don't know inkly. We've never spoken. Closest I got was a DM where I fat-fingered the ask button and accidentally sent my question to them directly, which they took with grace. So I have no stakes in this. I am eagerly awaiting being able to buy the game and support someone who has been so near and dear to me without even knowing I exist outside of a comment section.

I am so excited that there's going to be a game at all, especially since I never expected one! I don't care if it takes 10 years, I don't care if it takes 50, I don't care if it never ends up happening!

Have some patience like the rest of us. You're embarrassing yourself and only making me more resolute in my support of them. Inkly and Skully are the only reasons I even still have this app, and you won't change that with your copypasta.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to shout from the rooftops just how much I absolutely love inkly and their works. <3
