don't beg for a PSA to be taken down, saying "both sides are at fault" and "they just want to work it out", when the other side refuses to acknowledge their mistakes, fix them, and instead attacks with false claims of art theft. Elliott blatantly ignored my private messages and never reached out to me and also refused to take the initiative to delete Caramel. Brian falsely accused me of theft then was too petty to send the "evidence" because I hadn't logged on in a month. I have no reason to log onto Acitius now that staff have updated the rules publicly so if Brian wants to provide that "proof", he can message me elsewhere because it's not like I'm hiding. I am not tolerating anyone who comes to me with this bullshit. Acitius staff haven't shown me any signs they want to fix things. Therefore, I have no reason to believe they genuinely want to. People have decided on their own that Acitius is not the place for characters because of the new rule change. Those who never saw my PSA's determined their works are not safe. And they made their choices. Do not comment on the original character selling/trading/buying community when you obviously know little to nothing about it.
^Here are their posts talking about their experience
IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED BY THE ACITIUS STAFF THEMSELVES THAT THEY ALLOW CHARACTERS/DESIGNS TO BE STOLEN AND UPLOADED UNDER THE GUISE OF SITE-BOUND CUSTOM PETS WHETHER THEYāRE COPYRIGHTED OR NOT!
And because I know Tumblr is shit with the resizing of images I have collected screenshots of the news post and any following comments in this Imgur albumĀ https://imgur.com/a/chRqq
TL;DR Acitius ToS says that designs of copyrighted or otherwise licensed characters/designs (aka other peopleās OCs)Ā are allowed to be uploaded as custom pets as long as they make the artwork themselves and keep it on the siteĀ WHICH IS SHADY AS HELL!
I STRONGLY advice everyone who holds their characters/designs dear to NOT join Acitius or support the site!
all this because Elliott couldn't just buck up and delete the design they stole because they were salty I didn't give it to them... good on staff for openly announcing how shitty they are to every user who logs on anymore, because now I can save my breath. they shot themselves in the foot and I get to chill finally.
so apparently I used to play Eldemore despite never knowing it even existed until today and apparently I also pawned off characters that werenāt mine despite always being so vehemently against it
Spoiler Alert: I have never played this site calledĀ āEldemoreā, not even back in 2014. If anyone tells you that I did, they are not correct/truthful.
Apparently Acitius staff are claiming that back in 2014, I tried pawning off a bunch of other Acitius usersā custom pets without notice/permission.
I am not a fucking idiot to try pawning off whatās not mine for a quick virtual buck. Not to mention, I only know aboutĀ āEldemoreā now because of the accusation.
This accusation has only arose after 3 years??? because of Elliott stealing a design, as you can read here, and me being vocal about it because yes, hello, no oneās characters are safe anymore on a site that had a pretty good set-up for roleplayers.
Haunt was not happy about Elliottās actions, so not only are Acitius staff giving a big fuck you to the real owner of the design who is Titania at Verpets, but to Haunt as the original designer/artist.
I looked up Eldemore because I thoughtĀ āmaybe I playedā but I knew for damn certain Iād never sold things that were not mine.
Iāve never seen this site before. Not the pets, not the layout, none of it.
I donāt even like those hatch-and-grow adoptables sites like Eldemore appears to be -- I tried Squiby back in early high school years and that is the most of my experience with them. I really didnāt like Squiby, the whole genre is a turn-off for me. (Okay I might have briefly tried Pokemon ones too but only because they were Pokemon. They didnāt stick either.)
So no, the Eldemore/Acitius character thief was not me. Iām not even sure how to even prove that because literally, I have never even been on that site until less than 30 minutes ago.
I would have been 19 at the time too -- I was way too busy with graduating high school and also doing some college classes at the same time because I wanted to up my game. (Okay but my game wasnāt that good. I fell flat on my face in the college courses.)
But by 19 years old, I was very aware that theft is not okay, not physically and not digitally.
I'll be awaiting any 100% solid proof that I was this thief because I have nothing to fear here. That was not me. It never was me.
SHE IS TRYING TO LIQUIDATE BECAUSE SHE WAS CAUGHT STEALING DESIGNS FROM AYWAS CUSTOMS
This is my Toyhou.se PSA thread with all the details
& this is her attempt to sell off all her Furvilla pets, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE NOT HER DESIGNS ANYMORE
DO NOT BUY ASHRIEL, WASABI, VIRUS, NUKPANA, GOSSAMER, OR ANY PAINTIE SHE OWNS IN GENERAL. SOME MAY STILL BE STOLEN CUSTOMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED YET.
I only found out earlier a sixth stolen design that she sold to Reshiramu for $10.
Because it was a cross-site theft, neither Aywas nor Furvilla is taking action. A shame, but there is not much I can do now but alert people.
I feel I should make it clear that Aywas did attempt to assist in resolving this issue but our assistance was rejected when it did not meet specifications that we did not agree with.
Please be aware that we donāt appreciate slander to further your personal issue with this user and their actions.
I am not dragging Aywas staff ā I am dragging Starfoxxe. But also, the way things were explained via staff mail, no one was willing to take action aside from the option of a forced refund, in which I would lose the original character I drew while Starfoxxe gets off the hook. I rejected that option because I do not want Starfoxxe to get that power. I rejected it because your staff āsolutionā was to just let her have her way.
Edit: Also, I said that to keep people from spamming you all with reports. I wanted people to know staff would not take action to reprimand Starfoxxeās actions. Iāve already heard that a TON of people reported and as I said in the PSA: it only drives you in circles.
The reason that was our only course of action is because Furvilla isnāt our site - we have nothing to do with it and cannot ask, request, or force their staff to do anything. The only part of this issue on Aywas is the pet - wherein returning the pet for a refund is the only solution we have on hand.
Because you wanted the refund and keep the OC - essentially doing exactly what you are angry at Starfoxxe for doing to you - we were no longer comfortable. That is not letting her āhave her wayā - that is us preventing the hypocritical move you were attempting to make with staff sanction.
People were not spamming us - also all you needed to state was that Aywas staff are aware of the matter and to not report it further.
I askedĀ āam I allowed to keepā because I wasnāt sure the details were different enough, since I had purposely changed some things. I would have had no issue with deleting/changing the OC and such if Marjo hadnāt immediately made it sound like I was trying to pull what Starfoxxe was already doing. I felt accused and thatās what set me off. Thatās why I rejected the refund.
I will change the wording in the PSA, but Iād like it if your staff would not act like Iām trying to be a thief too. I was unsure about the design when I had asked ā but I wasnāt hellbent on keeping it. That was not the problem.
You asked why was it fair for Starfoxxe to keep her OC but it wasnāt fair for you to keep yours - to which we clarified that you cannot ask for a refund and do the same thing which prompted you to ask for a refund.
At no point did Staff insinuate that you are acting like or attempting to act like a thief - only explaining what would not be acceptable behaviour in response to your questions posed regarding what would be correct to do moving forward.
Staff were willing to work with you on this issue, but as you have said, you have chosen not to take any action so as to keep your OC, and as such the matter is closed between us.
TheĀ āhow is this fairā was because Starfoxxe got to keep the design despite already selling it to me. I didnāt mean it asĀ āI want to do what she didā but rather,Ā āhow could this possibly be fair to me even if I kept the custom/OCā because she is still selling the design despite selling it to me first.
That said, if the matter is closed, then I am treating it as such. I edited my PSA.

I am not an expert, but to me it looks like he might have traced that image, some one should check that out⦠This person haves no room to talk about āOriginalityā or about how he owns everything⦠When hes a thieve.
Personal pronouns in this submission have been edited. If rabidKITTENS identifies as a male, this blog will refer to him as a male. We do not tolerate ignorance.Ā
If anyone knows who the artist is of the heavily referenced image, please let us know.Ā
I am stepping away from the theft drama because my health has taken a big hit from stressing over them, and I have gotten word out along with proof, so people at least know about it.
Please be sure to watch out for fellow users when it comes to interacting with Starfoxxe or Acitius staff.
I am making a new Tumblr because this one is a mess, my side ones are a mess, and Iād been considering it for a long time anyways.
I will be announcing the new name once I determine what it is and get it set up. Itāll probably be a few days.
I am too exhausted by this and itās left me on edge around everyone.

Starfoxxe (#70371 at Aywas; #21071 at Furvilla) has taken customs she sold in the far past and made them into Painties on Furvilla after the fact
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/128669
is my own custom melo

http://www.aywas.com/pp/view/8726801/

http://www.furvilla.com/villager/168344
I also know that there areĀ at leastĀ two more that should not belong to her:
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/172971
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/167918
The top I remember being an oske and the bottom was a painted melo baby.
When I approached her about it, her response was:
āwhat paintie are you talking about? I also canāt log into aywas, so. most of these are decades old OCs of mine so I have the right to reuse their design. if youāre not happy with it you can sell the aywas pet but I have no desire to change the painties or OCs I have here.ā
Before promptly blocking me, which only tells me that sheās guilty and doesnāt want to bother with being caught.
First of all, Bell/Jelly/etc., I blocked you because you repeatedly would bully/beg me into giving you my stuff, mainly my pets. As I recall, the pets that YOU now own were āgiftsā from me that I sent you when I left the site. (Which, like I said, I canāt log into Aywas anymore, so I canāt retrieve those PMs.) All of those painties I created, were from designs I created, in 2010 or earlier. (I do have dated reference sheets for those.) I was the artist from conception to execution.
man, thatās a nice āāāgiftāāā, for being 15gp. (considering I bought two melos at the same time, I just halved it.)
Too bad I donāt have the Skype chats but I think the above speaks for me anyways.
So get your facts straight before your rebuttal, because now you just look even worse.
And also, thoseĀ ācharactersā? At least two were bred babies. Meaning they are a mish-mash of two (or more) pets belonging to other people. As in, theyāre not your original doing. I hope youāre not serious.
edit to add:
we pretty much havenāt talked since you sold me these two in 2015 -- itās been 2 years
I will admit that way-back-when (like 2013 and earlier), I was somewhat of a beggar, but I grew out of that long before any of the events regarding this situation took place because I realized how goddamn awful I was and that no one liked me for that shit
so you bringing that up sounds more like a desperate flail than a legitimate reason to dismiss my post
Heya, I saw your post on FVC regarding Starfoxxe's stolen painties. I'm the one who drew a custom paintie for Gossamer in August of 2016. I just wanted to know if the current owner of Gossamer is aware of the situation and if there is anything I can do to help? I am absolutely livid that this user lied to me and I sincerely apologize to anyone who is affected by this. At the time I had no idea that the design did not belong to her, had I known I would never have agreed to the commission.
Gossamer's owner is aware, yes! They posted about it on their own Tumblr right after I'd told them. Unfortunately, I don't think ANY of the paintie artists knew about the stolen designs before doing the art. It's really sleazy and I shake my head because Starfoxxe -- who has participated in adoptables before too -- knows better than to steal. It was an afterthought but I vaguely remember Starfoxxe had gotten in trouble on Aywas for using a species concept/design that wasn't hers either -- they were called Sharkies and the people who owned them had to give them up because of something she did.

like I am so fucking done with things being stolen from me or from people I worked trades out with
I ended up hiding my entire Toyhouse and I wish I could hide my customs on Aywas too now
this is just utter bullshit and I donāt get why people think itās okay
Iāve started developing migraine symptoms and Iām not entirely sure the two are unrelated, which is really sad because I went for SO long without that suffering
migraines run in my family (grandmother->mom/aunt->now me? not sure about anyone past grandmother either.) so itās no surprise but is still terrifying to think about and I always feared migraines after seeing my mom endlessly struggle with them

Aywas Customs Are Being Stolen & Turned Into Furvilla Painties
Man, how many thefts am I going to find? This is why I ended up hiding all my Toyhou.se character profiles. [edit: sorry for the incorrectly placed link, whoops.]
Starfoxxe (Aywas#70371 & Furvilla#21071, also on DeviantART and Toyhouse as Starfoxxe, potentially the same username on Goatlings and other games) used to be a friend of mine but as soon as I approached her about this, she dropped me like a rock and blocked me. understanding friend, right?
She has stolen customs sheās sold in the past on Aywas and commissioned them into Paintie designs on Furvilla
I mailed her as soon as I found out:
Star, this is Jelly/Bell [*past usernames she knew me as] from Aywas, and... I don't want to be rude about this but I'm really off-put that you made a Paintie off the Aywas custom you sold me. Like, I would have sold the baby back to you if you'd just asked over on Aywas, but I logged FV for something else and ended up finding that.
Can I ask you to please change the design up so they're not at all recognizable or something?
To which she replied:
what paintie are you talking about [*I will admit I should have linked her]? I also can't log into aywas, so. most of these are decades old OCs of mine [*most I found are bred babies.] so I have the right to reuse their design. if you're not happy with it you can sell the aywas pet but I have no desire to change the painties or OCs I have here.Ā

owned by Death Squad (#1033) was turned into
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/159373
Death Squad confirmed stolen
http://www.aywas.com/pp/view/1263890/
owned by TK (#45480) (myself) was turned into
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/128669
I donāt think I need to say it, but yes, this one is stolen too
I was unable to locate the custom to
http://www.furvilla.com/villager/172971
but I know for a fact it was an oske Starfoxxe owned in the past but not anymore
I did not recognize any more than that except Ace Lionheart, who is the only pet on her Aywas account now
Iāve messaged all the owners I found about this, but I am taking it public because obviously Starfoxxe didnāt want to work things out despite being in the wrong
I found that Ashriel was sold to Death Squad in 2015 -- the Paintie was not made until 2016, meaning Starfoxxe did not own him at the time of making him into a Paintie
I have not reviewed dates on the others if possible, but I boughtĀ āNukpanaā / Cherry back in 2015 as well.
PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE NONE OF HER OTHER PAINTIES ARE BASED OFF OF YOUR CUSTOMS.
Staff Of Acitius Are Not Above Theft: The Frustrating Sequel
HERE IT IS, EVERYONE
BRIAN IS OKAY WITH PEOPLE HAVING THEIR CHARACTERS STOLEN AS LONG AS THEYāRE REDRAWN, EVEN IF IT IS A CARBON COPY.
read bottom to top
itās sad that Acitius used to be a good site for roleplayers and this is what it dwindled into
CLICK HERE FOR PART 1
I ended up telling Titania that her character was stolen and also received a reply from Brian.
In case itās too small, here it is on Imgur
What Iāve mainly gathered from this is that, Acitius staff will let you own any character as long as you have it redrawn for your use, no matter if itās a copyright character or someoneās personal beloved character.
Talk about sleazy -- I highly advise no one submit customs here ever, in that case.
There was nothing to enforce about the off-site trade. Titania and I traded fairly, there were no issues. The issue is that, and as I replied to Brian,Ā āElliott is having their cake and eating it too because I would not trade them instead.ā
EDIT1:
Iāve sent this to Haunt as well -- Iāve owned designs by her before and sheās stated that itās okay as long as a) they arenāt sold for more than they were bought and b) the art/design is properly credited to her
(actually, she stated it just last night, so I can even screenshot/quote this.)
EDIT2:
Haunt is privately messaging Brian to confirm that I was allowed to trade.
Elliott has also ignored my private message and in the time I peeked the Online Users list, they had been on the Terms of Service multiple times.
WHICH BY THE WAY
2. If it is not yours, leave it alone. This means you should not attempt to gain access to another userās account or anything located therein. Attempting to gain access to another userās account may result in the banning of your own account, and may result in a permanent ban from the site.
2a. Do not impersonate other users, even as a joke. Impersonating staff members may result in the banning of your account.
2b. Do not claim otherās artwork as your own, or do anything else which implies you are the rightful owner and/or creator of content that you do not own/did not create. If you want to use someone elseās work, ask them and respect their wishes. It is a good idea to keep documentation of their permission on hand, as Acitius Staff may ask for proof.
Itās right here on the rules page.
Elliott didnāt get permission from Haunt or Titania after the sale to use this character so how is Elliott at all the rightful owner of a design proven to not belong to them anymore?Ā
A design is content and Elliott is not the rightful owner anymore. When they sold this custom, they forfeited the design.
