[Ron] Story time! We briefly used Deviantart to try to sell adoptables in 2023. (Despite their AI policy, yes I know. We weren't well-informed about AI at that time.)

One time, we offered like, a bunch of lucky charms -themed wolves, with the little marshmallows and milk and stuff as design elements. Nobody bought them because we were relatively obscure. We said you know, that's okay, we just need to advertise more.

Not even a day later, we were scrolling through # adoptables, and a much larger artist was selling that exact same kind of design (pastel colors, lucky charms-style marshmallows and milk design elements on wolves) for a higher price. And people were buying them!

We didn't want to start "drama" or anything, so we chalked it up to a coincidence and left

@[email protected] d'awww, that was quite messed up :c
we dislike the word "drama" so much, and would rather substitue for "conflict", "discourse", "situation", etc.

We believe yall had a right to speak about it, but also we understand the mounmental mental energy it requires

offers hugs

[Lori] It was probably for the best that we left DeviantArt anyways. Really very sad that there aren't many art-centered platforms left.

Thank you for the hug
