OK...This is it. I am NOT taking this anymore.
This is
VERY important. I want EVERYONE who's reading this to read it all the way through.
As some of you might know from a long time ago, i've had some problems with =
astralstonekeeper. Im not getting into the long story but i've known her for almost 3 years now and 2 of those years we've had issues.
Now she's trying to say i stole her character. "Pink Soda" Because I have a character named Soda Pop who by the wya i've NEVER posted on DA. I drew him on iScribble back in APRIL and i've hardly drawn him since then.
She also went behind my back with a friend of hers and talked to ~
OroAlchemist about this. And Oro told me what all happened. She told Oro not to tell me, but I made Oro tell me what was going on when she suddenly started asking me about him.
Heres Soda Pop (My character):
[link]Please note that Soda Pop is a BOY. and "Pink Soda" is a GIRL.
Also, if you look in the top corner it says the date i started drawing that picture, and the date it ended. April 5th - April 7th.
Pink Soda (Astral's character):
[link] That is her manga page.
[link] This is the character. This was posted on April 8th. 3 days AFTER i started drawing Soda Pop.
Also, I dont keep track of Astral's stuff.. I even took her off my watch. Once in a while i look at her page but I've never read her manga thing. Yes, I have seen her Pink Soda character, but once again, I started drawing mine before I seen it.
Im not close to Astral anymore, for different reasons, but Im not the kind of person who would steal someone's character, or anything for that matter, out of spite. Im not spiteful. I dont like people who are. And i don't think stealing a character or anything is right at all.
However, as artists we are ment to inspire other people with our work. But that doesn't give anyone the right to just outright COPY someone.
I have been at Otakon all this weekend, and i wasn't here when all this was taking place. Im only going by what Oroalchemist has told me. But apperantly Astral and her friend were asking the inspiration for Soda Pop. Please remember, I drew him in APRIL. This is JULY. thats 4 months ago. I cannot remember for the LIFE of me what i was thinking EXACTLY at that moment But i do know the personality of my character and how i imagined him. He was also meant to be related to my character "Melvin M. Macentire" (See here:
[link] [link] )
Soda Pop is a hyper and overly enthusiastic person. At the time i drew him Oro and I were fighting about Bon Jovi (my favorite band) Becuase she didn't like 80's music. Therefore i made Soda Pop to be one of the biggest fans of the 80's. He even has his own little qoute "I'm bringing the 80's back, baby!" (x3 aint he cute?) His realy name isn't Soda Pop. Its something rather embaressing that he doesn't want anyone to know, therefore he just tells them his prefered name "Soda Pop" Im not nearly done developing him yet, and thats why i never posted him.
Here is what Astral says about her Pink Soda character. (Taken DIRECTLY from her website that i listed earlier):
"By day, Pink Soda is known as Aoi Kokoro. She has two best friends, the apparently not-as-evil vampire Kusako, and the insomnia-crazed coffee addict Kouhi Kuromeru. Kusako knows her secret as a superhero, and helps all that he can to keep it secret."
As far as I can tell that sounds nothing like my character.
(FYI so im not accused of anything again. I never seen her website before this. I looked it up after Oro had told me what was going on.)
Im very tired of dealing with this and i have enough stress going on in my home life. I DONT NEED THIS. I dont need someone telling me i stole THEIR character. In the end, i know I didnt. Wether anyone wants to belive me or not, Im innocent.
I know it seems like i blew this out of the water, but this has hurt me. This has really hurt me badly. Just this month i FINALLY closed the case with me and Astral's issues, and now THIS comes up. Something that i haven't even posted on DA.
I dont know what she was thinking when she did this. She could be completely and honestly just trying to get answers, but with OUR reputation together, it doesn't seem like it. Astral has pulled stunts on me before.
One noteable one is when a friend of mine drew a picture with all his friends featured in it. I was in the picture chasing Vaati (my old obsession and Astral's current one) In his artist comments he put something like "Sorry Fangirll4life, this was drawn before you said you didn't like vaati that much anymore" Astral threw a fit and took a screen shot, posted it on her page, and yelled at me in her artist comments saying how i could tell me other friend but i couldnt tell her. over VAATI. It being Vaati has nothing to do with it, just the fact of what she did, and how she did it was immature. FYI, he had drawn that in December of that year, and she found it months later after i had become a fangirl of vaati again.
So this is the last straw. I am not about to sit here and be accused of something i didn't do by someone who has given me trouble for too long.
Astral. Im sorry. I am sincerly sorry of everything thats happened between us, but PLEASE. Don't do this crap to me. This is un called for and immature if you did this out of spite. I cant see that you DIDN'T have a motive behind this because of what we've been through recently. However Im sorry for blowing up if you are really bening honest here. But
ONE THING I want to to understand and obey. Leave ~
OroAlchemist OUT OF THIS. Im highly upset you took her
BEHIND MY BACK and asked her all these questions when you could have simply asked
ME in a nice way. Heck, you could have even LIED to me about why you wanted to know. I. dont. care. But when you take my closest friend, and interigate her about somehting she knows near NOTHING about. That infuriates me. I also know you took my friend "NeroTheSable" On iScirbble and asked him even as im writting this. I just called him on the phone and he told me about it. So for the last time. Leave my friends
alone.
I dont want any of this to go any further. I dont want you harrasing any of my friends about it. I want it to end. Here. Now. Forever. Please, be a mature person and forget about me. Obviously you're unhappy with me, just forget it. It will NEVER change, especialy after this. I told you before you could watch me, comment, whatever, but im not so sure i want that anymore. But thats another issue and its up to you. I most likely wont respond anymore to anything you say. Im sorry but this is it.
I didn't steal your character, now leave me be.
