so i've been falling down the votverse lore rabbit hole lately (shoutout to the AEwVS fans, you get it) and i am just. so captivated by this universe. it's honestly a tragedy that so much of it is locked in dr. nose's abandoned projects?? the potential was right there.

like, take AEwVS. that game was packed with huge lore drops that a lot of current votv fans have probably never even heard of. the stuff under the surface was wild, and i totally get why it had such a strong fanbase.

but this post isn't just about that. this post is about a specific character who i think got done dirty: pagonioplo-igetis.

for those who don't know, pagonioplo is a tall rozital bird-bot from the AEwVS days. and her original concept was SO cool. she was built up to be:

the most powerful rozital, created by diefthyntis.

a commander with authority over other rozitals.

packed with experimental tech and, like, a ton of weapons.

and she had a mean, strict personality to match!

she was being teased by Dr. Nose, and i was so hyped to see her finally make her grand debut in votv 0.8.

and then i saw the design.

guys. i was shocked. in the worst way.

where is the imposing figure? the sense of danger? she's just... kind of there. she's tall, but she doesn't look like a threat, she looks... funny. after all that buildup, her final design is just a complete letdown. it feels like all that amazing potential was just thrown away.

anyone else feel this way?

This is an unusual post for a blog dedicated solely to Rozital content, and my bio states I want no part in drama. However, I need to address the community about a terrible thing that happened to someone I looked up to.

Many of you probably know the original Rozital blogger, RozitalNetwork. She was cool and kind, though some found her eccentric. She was the primary promoter of the Rozitals, which made her a target for bullies. I hope those vile people are no longer around, as they demonized her simply for being annoying, even though she did nothing wrong.

RozitalNetwork's biggest mistake was getting involved in the great VotV drama. She rightly called out people who were wishing death on a child, but this action made her a bigger target for harassment. She was constantly tormented in her post replies and had to privatize her Twitter account multiple times.

Then, she was accused of being an art thief when she started her Tumblr blog. The accusation arose because she posted Rozital art without tagging the artists. However, she wasn't stealing; she had saved art and posted it without knowing the original creators. She stated that she would try to find and credit them, but people continued to harass her and dredge up her involvement in the past drama.

When the heat died down, she tried to create her own Discord server. It was a small but nice community, and I had fun there for a while. Unfortunately, it didn't last. After being blocked by multiple people and bullied by Cole and his followers, she was doxxed the following day.

It was heartbreaking to see a girl who never deserved such garbage treatment from the community and even being despised by creators she looked up to. I remember her mental breakdown in the Discord server, where she revealed she had been bullied horribly in other fandoms long before the VotV drama.

I'll say this again: she is weird, but not in a bad or gross way. Some people found her annoying and decided it was okay to bully her for being herself.

There is nothing wrong with requesting artists to draw Rozital characters in a certain design. RozitalNetwork was a big fan of an alternate design for Pagonioplo-igetis created by Cole, which started a beef between them.

Honestly, Cole was extremely petty. He not only shamed her and gathered people to block and pick on her, but he also restricted anyone else from drawing his design of the character. He shamed and guilt-tripped anyone who did, claiming it made him "uncomfortable" and that everyone should only focus on the official VotV design because its "cool."

But people we should not be restricted of what we should like and draw because some guy want to dictate it because it make him ""uncomfortable"" and it goes against his friend's official design for the character. People should be free on what they should create and what they like. Telling people to not do that is not okay and makes you an immature brat. And Cole is full of shit too about it, some people had told me what he is really liked and I talked to a person who was a former mod in the ED games server and they confirmed some claims and suspicions. I won't named this person because they made it clear to me they wanted to no part with VotV or any drama and left for a good reason.

Anyway the point is that you can draw a character whatever you like in whatever design you prefer, SFW or not. People should have freedom in creativity or to ask/commission art of what they want. AS LONG AS ITS NOT ILLEGAL MATERIAL JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR!

I don't know what RozitalNetwork is doing now or if they're okay. What they went through was troubling and it really disturbed me about their breakdown. I joined her server again and sadly the server is completely dead silent with nothing but scam bots spamming in the introduction channel and the the one and only mod there is not even active to do anything about the bots that are filling the server. I tried to contact them but I didn't heard from them in dm. I did tried reaching out to them on tumblr and heard nothing back there either. They probably went on hiatus ever since what happen with Rozitalnetwork cause if i am correct they were a close friend of her that been supporting her for a long time.

Since Rozitalnetwork had left the internet completely no one shown any concern or sympathy to her and the bullying and doxxing she went through and acted like she never existed to begin with and it fucking disgust me because this is a human being who had compassion in this community that was rejected and harassed out of there and no one shown any concerns when she got doxxed or when she deleted her account here.

A lot of the people who were involved in making Rozitalnetwork's experience in this fandom a living hell should feel ashamed of themselves and suffer sever repercussion for what they did but yet none of them did and are still in the fandom today being proud and happy with themselves. How do people that do this sleep at night knowing they doxxed a person and made them feel rejected from a community. And honestly if any of you people that were involved in making her life hell, go ahead and attack me. Send me death threats or leak my home address I don't fucking care.

I made this blog not that I loved the Rozitals but also as a tribute to her compassion in the fandom to try and make people recognize the Rozital more. She deserved to be loved and appreciated and be treated like a human being. What else can I say about this?
