#oc psa

Y'all, never thought this would happen with OCs but it is. I just got a DM, and the beginning of it is "awe, love your oc!" which always warms my heart, but then it just went bad.

I checked this person's tumblr and there's nothing. Nada

Be wary of links and strange tumblr names (this one was a name with a lot of random numbers and letters stringed on) as you never know what the new scam/phish is.

Today while I was scoping out a character tag through Tumblr, I had ran across a tumblr blog by the name of @fishboy4 + their sideblog @saint-winged-thing. This person had made Teen Wolf OC post(s) where the character(s) have the same faceclaims, names, and story plots as my other friend on here named Lou. I contacted my friend, asking if they knew of the blog and they confirmed that: No, they did not. With more research, they have copied a vast majority their Teen Wolf oc(s)

I gave them the link of the post and they searched the rest of the blog, and turns out, they stole my friend’s OCs and gifs!

     And all things related.

     Wrong.

     But also sort of right.

     Think of it like this: You can share aspects with your muse in a healthy manner. Then there’s sharing too much and becoming a threat to your own mental health by way of risking getting emotionally hurt by RP - Like your muse gets hurt, so you feel hurt. The former is fine, the latter is dangerous.

     To share aspects isn’t always a bad thing, so never jump to conclusions if someone says they share parts of themselves with their muse. In the long run, sharing things can really aid one’s own mental health. 

     Putting your mental health issues into a muse isn’t a bad thing. You can work through parts of your issues via your muse. For instance. you may not see how it (your issue) affects people until it comes into writing, or you may just be unaware of some aspects of yourself until someone notes it. Then there’s also RPing the issues and simply coming to understand it better in general as you do research on how you muse will react in that situation with said issue.

     In the end we no doubt all put something into them about ourselves, if we intend to or not. And that’s fine. There shouldn’t be a stigma against it.

     But also remember: Your muse isn’t there to cure you or to be your source of help. You also need to get help in real life if you require that. Don’t lean on your muse too much - That is bad. Moderation is key here. 

Hi. Akumu here. I need to announce some stuff. Some things will change on this Blog

Leaving the Self Ship Community

Yes. You heard me right. I will leave the self ship community. I'm done with all the discourse there and the drama, which lasted from January to April didn't make things better. I always have a bitter taste when thinking of it. So, I will leave it. If you're a mutual or friend who does self shipping, dw. I will still support you.

Turning into an OC Blog

This blog will now turn into an OC blog. I will show off the Art I make for Art Fight as well as my OCs. Those are my true hyperfixations, and I'm happy to know people supported my OCs when I was still a self ship blog

Name Change

I will drop two names. Poetryandnightmares as well as Akumu.

From now on (When I get access to my PC), this blog will be named ChoccyChaoticArt, and you can call me ChocoChan, or Choco (if you call me Akumu still that's ok though)

Regarding V and Dante etc.

I will leave the SeSh Community, but I will keep my F/O's. I self ship since I was like 11, and I won't stop it. I just won't embrace it on my blog anymore. You will see reblogs of stuff of V and others with the tags, but I won't refer to self ship stuff anymore

Regarding my S/I's

My S/I's will now be treated as Fan OCs. They won't dissappear. They're just my OCs now.

Last but not least, thank you for your kind words. I will answer your asks asap.

Thank you for being awesome and staying with me so long

 A good example of this is when I first began creating Elektra / Bre. I was going to use Crystal Reed as her FC until my friend on Quotev suggested Alycia over Crystal. I wanted a Kylo Ren twin sister who was in the First Order with him until she realized that she couldn’t go on being on the wrong side of war and leaving him ultimately for the family she left behind but still can’t help but try and help her brother while trying to save her family. 

Because of this Elektra dynamic I had going on, they badgered me so much over how poorly I written her character on Quotev that it actually got to the point that I ended up hating Elektra and the story Dead Hearts as a whole. And let me just say that I began writing that story after being on a two year hiatus because I literally lost motivation to write and actually do something with my life other than lay in bed all day. So hearing that type of hateful remarks turned me off. 

Next thing I know, a few months after I finished Dead Hearts, Starlight creates a Star Wars OC named Breha Solo Skywalker who is a twin of Kylo Ren’s and leaves the First Order to join the Resistance, and her family. Kinda sounds like Bre’s plot, right? And here’s the kicker; the FC was Crystal Reed.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Kyleigh, a lot of people can have Crystal as a Star Wars OC and name their Kylo Ren twin ocs Breha.” Yeah, I know. I thought that too. Until the other ocs, and more problems, came along . . . 

To summarize . . . (proof in hyperlinks)

My Shadow Preachers OC Cassius Palpatine is the son of the Emperor and FC was Theo James. I got the name Cassius from using Legends as inspo since Jacen goes by the name of Caedus

They created a Palpatine OC with Theo James. 

I updated Cassius’ FC for Shadow Hearts (a revamp / revisit crossover of Shadow Preachers & Dead Hearts) to be Ben Barnes. 

An hour later, they create a Star Wars OC with the FC being Ben Barnes and named him Caedus. 

I created a Calrissian daughter oc for Shadow Preachers whose fc is Zoe Kravitz whose very witty and snarky. 

They created a Zoe Kravitz Calrissian daughter OC. 

I created Ripley Maximoff, FC Shelley Hennig, who is a Mutant X-Men with energy manipulation and mentifery; capable of generating time pockets and accidently portals herself into the MCU—more specifically during Wandavision. 

Starlight suggested to create such x-men mutant oc with portal abilities that ends up in Wandavision with Shelley Hennig as a “potential” candidate for the FC

I made a Nova & Kylo manip specifically for and on pinterest, the picture next to it titled “it was written in the stars.”

They cut Nova out of the manip, pasted their own OC in and titled it “it was written in the stars.”

They stalked me on there, my pinterest, and my tumblr. I have blocked them but somehow, I believe that they won’t stop. 

Again, I don’t like being this person but I rather come out now after years of experiencing this type of slander and borderline harassment if it stops other from experiencing it. If you’d like to block them on tumblr, in the few screenshots I’ve provided, you’ll be able to see their url. 

if anyone catches me being worse to lady characters than dude characters, call me out

if anyone sees me dragging my characters on a meta level when they don’t deserve it, call me out. and on the in-universe level, fan work is your playground. do better by them than i did. make them happy and safe. ignore canon i literally don’t care i love aus where everything’s happy and nobody hurts. 

if i whitewash my own character literally come to my house and kick my ass (unless it’s just the lighting that makes it look like they’re white bc that’s still a funky thing i’m working on. lighting is such a pain in the ass. but that point stands don’t let me whitewash characters)

more points i want to make:

see all my white characters?? u see them??? make them not white if you want. i’m still working on better poc representation in my work and won’t stop that, but if i have preexisting white characters you’d prefer to see as poc u kno what. do the thing. most of my characters are white and they don’t need to be. juST DON’T MAKE THEM WHITER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE FOR GOD’S SAKE PLS

and see all my characters in general??? i don’t care if they’re shown as cis in canon, if they are trans in your mind, make them trans. just don’t make canon trans characters cis is all i ask.
