I guess a journal like this has been needed for a while but I didn't know how to adress the topics in it or how to word it, but it really needs to be made so i'm just going to get my thoughts down and see how this goes.
Firstly I have nothing to do with darkkys anymore, the only connection between me and them now is that I own Gear and I co-own Victor with my boyfriend @/Lethargicasino (Please do not ask me about buying those characters, for now I don't plan to and you probably won't be able to convince me otherwise.) Since Oricori owns darkky only she has a say in what can be classed as a darkky and what happens to them, please don't ask me questions about them anymore. Or associate them with me anymore, darkkys as a concept aren't mine anymore.

(Here's a old journal by Oricori about darkkys, if you have any questions look at this. Though the information may be dated here.)
Secondly just like darkky, please don't associate me with any of my old projects or characters, esspecially ones i've sold/traded, they're not mine anymore. And please understand that with certain old projects I had no intention of continuing and the sale/trade of the characters from it just confirms that. I want to move on to other things without having to be reminded of those old projects, projects i'm still working on... Though they might be a bit on and off are:
Captain and his crew
Trouble with dreams
Arcadia (with @/Lethargicasino)
and I might look into re-working Asha's story (the lion cub.)
With this point i'd just like to say please don't ask me about things that happened with past projects, the whole point of this journal is making this clear so that I can move on from the past, bringing things up would just be dwelling on them.
Thirdly something i've already made a journal about:
LupisVulpes Adopts?Hi i'm still currentally in hiatus and taking time out of being online to try and work on things but i've noticed that people have started to do adopts in my style? Specifically my style that is, not just a style close to mine.
Some people are even calling them LupisVulpes style adopts, please can you not do this, it's almost making my style into a brand. And it's just really uncomfortable to see people imitating the way I draw things for the sake of getting points or money for designs in that style.
If you know someone who's doing this please ask them politely to stop, i'm not asking everyone to call people out or link me examples or anything similar to that, just link them this journal if you see someone doing it.
^^ Thank you
(Some people have been asking me about if it's okay to make darkky adopts, as I said in my first point I don't own the concept of darkky anymore. Please check out Oricori's journal if you have questions about that.)
Finally a few small things I want to say but don't need a whole paragraph for.
Along with my second point please don't compare my new art with my old work, you can do that all you want in private but don't tag me in it. Don't tell me that, most of the time when people compare the styles they always say how they miss my old one. I understand that you might see it as praising my old work but all your doing is making me doubt my current art and knocking my self esteem, if my old art gives you a feeling of nostalgia that's also fine but understand it doesn't give me that feeling.
My name seems to becoming a brand for some reason, I don't mind people trading around my designs and stuff but it's starting to feel a bit hectic especcially when I get people asking for concept designs or just characters with different palettes. I'm still trying to be on haitus at the moment but I have a rough toyhou.se and if i'm going to trade/sell any designs I'll put them in a UFT folder. Please don't ask for any of my in use characters, or any of my old characters for now.
Please don't get offended if anything i've said here applies to you. I'm not making this journal about anyone or anything in particular it's just a build up of things that i wanted to mention.
I'm just one person, I don't think i'm better than anyone or anything. If I don't get round to any comments or questions I'm sorry, if I could message everyone I would but I'm trying to figure some things out at the moment.
Thank you for understanding.
