The past couple of months have been taking a toll on my work and health so I'll be taking some time off socials indefinitely to do some actual recovering, both mentally and physically. I'm not sure how long, but I'll be back.

‎

‎Love you all.

#personal #apologies to all the anons that I've yet to answer in my inbox #I'll get my spark back again

five needles, a swollen hand, and an excruciatingly long billing process later, I'm finally out of the hospital

#personal #might not be able to draw properly for a bit bc like #my meds make my limbs feel like jelly and makes me depersonalize so bad atm #get me outta here arghgh #gif warning

apologies for not drawing a lot lately. been engrossed on my miis and having a 3-day vacation right now 😭

#personal #all my favs and ocs... mashing them together like barbie dolls #really happy how the vessali mii looks like #i gotta draw him auhhfh

lowkey in an art block right now so I thank the mii game for giving me ideas to draw

#dice gambit #dice gambit oc #stecchi grefiore #saffir verbena #artposting #waking up stecchi during nighttime bc i gave saffir the night owl quirk just so they can talk grrrrrrrrr #oc #original character

I got myself some basic studio headphones and I am hearing sounds and audio depth I've never heard of before??

#personal #sona #the forest sounds more foresty ??#and holyfuck the grand hub sounds like an actual open concert hall #i can hear a slight echo/reverb from the diva like. it felt like i was sitting amongst the crowd mygoodness

tried rendering this one sketch from my ipad based off this tomodachi life screenshot I took. bro thinks he's part of the team 😂

#monster hunter #monster hunter wilds #werner #lyra #kamen rider geats #god that feels. weird typing that ahjgdfngkh #just you and me and your friend geats #oc #original character

If you had to pin an age on each of your TES characters, how old would they be?

I never really think of specific ages but hmm. I think it would be Vessali being around 27-33 and Dips around his mid-30s and older.

Most depictions I have of Ves are usually canon, but debatable when it comes to Dippy since he's not actually THAT stupid. He just wears his heart on his sleeve and isn't afraid to show emotion.

#youngest to oldest i think would be #ves - dippy - cicero - teldryn #ves being the youngest and holding the most amount of trauma and copium #but its fine bc he can uhhh play the lute and sing fun songs dw #anon #ask

afternoon market werner 🛍️

#monster hunter #monster hunter wilds #werner #staying sane by putting all my oc x canon on LTD

want to help? you can!

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

Even a short message will help. I need numbers, I need voices. My own voice is being drowned out, but you can speak for me as well.

For some points on the plagiarism under the read more (what I collected/organized while building up an email to send):

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

Some people may have found more points than this, but these are what I stumbled upon. Hopefully helps bring a little more context to the situation.

reblogging this version because. yeah.

yeah.

modmad

just to update that nobody from any of the relevant parties has got back to me or made any statement. please reblog this version, as @timmyreads has compiled an extremely comprehensive explanation and evidence of the theft; at first I just wanted to be left alone, but it's really not enough. every time I see Mr Puzzle or even read his name I feel physically sick, it's hard for me to type it even now. I feel violated in every way, and I need help. I can't save myself, I have tried every single avenue available. At this point I need to be saved.

For those saying please/just keep making TPoH anyway, it's not that simple: I can't. My mind and heart are broken. The story itself has stopped communicating with me. I cannot make it any more, not if this situation doesn't change, and that loss of the story scares me more than anything else in the world.

Sorry to have to boost this again but I just had to sit and console my mother who was shaking and crying about this when I came down this morning. She is the kindest, more genuine person in the world and I have never seen her cry like that even when my father died. My sadness is increasingly turning into anger and I don't have any way to stop it.

Please keep sharing this post so that people know what is happening and help me to get closure- this isn't just destroying me and my work, it's destroying people I love. I have done everything I can to resolve this peacefully but I cannot let it continue.

#sharing here because I caught up and this made me EXTREMELY angry #tpoh singlehandedly saved my life during a dark time and this breaks my fucking heart #this level of plagiarism makes my blood boil it must be stopped

Give Dippy a smooch on the snoot equal to his age
