but i saw someone brought up Pine lmao and thought i’d remind the general public that not only are they just generally gatekeepy about rlcs [which like.. let’s be real. all of us BO breeders are used to that LOL] but they’re especially shitty on the front of art and have scammed and / or attempted to scam me and multiple others out of both profits for art [ie custom decor sales] as well as items or lions that art was payment for. and wouldn’t you know it, i’m not the only one who’s had issues with them !
they’re banned from my clan for a reason. they’ve taken my art for a rlc and then sold the clone to someone else anyways mid-commission, they’ve tried to list a commissioned CD in the catalogue for their own profit WITHOUT ASKING the artist and then got pissy and threw a fit in main chat after the artist [very rightfully] told them they couldn’t do that, and i’ve had countless people within the clan tell me or other staff members that pinenut just flat-out makes them uncomfortable or give us stories of them undercutting newbie rl winners.
don’t have proof that this is rly me aside from how i type so uhhhh. stream ghost quartet live at the mckittrick i love dave malloy LMAO
@Bogwhisker that is really helpful, thank you. I was on hiatus for years so even though I’m an older player I’m still getting used to the market, and I don’t think I ever had a good grasp of it back then either. I feel like it would be super easy for someone more knowledgeable to take advantage of me if there are no branch sales or trades to compare offers to.
call me aug[gie] / moggy / bog[s] !! i mainly use they/them prns . i make art !! i like cats !! i animate !! most of this is copy and pasted from my main blog lmao !! i use tone indicators for my own sanity’s sake . it’s cool if you use them and still cool if you don’t !! on flight rising i host a g1 only den. on lioden i’m a BO breeder and try to stay fully clean, though my project fucks w that sometimes lmaoo.

@bogwhisker - that is indeed scamming. The lion shouldn’t have been for trade anymore. At the very least they should have offered to pay you the arts worth in pure GB. They scammed the art off you. Thanks for letting me know who to block.
“bogwhisker can you drop your id because i don't want to interact with someone who wildly defends the usage of the f slur in a public channel”
literally all i did was list out why quinn has the right to say / reclaim the word lmao? i never promoted or even defended saying it and broadcasting that shit to a public channel, i was addressing the fact that an anon tried using it as evidence of him being homophobic.
like, i’m a lesbian but i don’t go around throwing out the dslur every 3 words because i know some other lesbians aren’t comfortable with it. i might be autistic and dogshit at catching social cues, but i still understand the concept of human decency and respecting other people’s comfort, dude. 😐
@bogwhisker — did you talk to modbox about it? that situation sounds absolutely gross and you should be able to talk to mods abt it if you gave your artwork and never received your rl. as long as you have screenshots and proof it’s their discord (ie if they have their discord on their ld profile or if they linked you to their profile through discord, etc other ways) you should be able to have something done— because you 100% got scammed, hun /gen (if hun is okay to say!!!)
“"i don't know about stealing art as thats something completely different" bogwhisker bestie they 100% stole ur art, you received nothing and they got 800+GB from the buyout plus a detailed lineart piece from you. thats not just a 'they give me the yuck' situation, theyre a whole ass scammer”
ah, my apologies on the confusion ! i meant “that’s something completely different” because when i hear “stolen art,” i mostly think of claiming someone else’s work as your own / tracing / etc rather than scamming with a commission. people can word the same thing different ways though, i 100% get what you mean / where you’re coming from anon
