This callout has been long overdue, as Miles has been manipulating and abusing people for years, but never taking the blame for himself or admitting he was wrong. I don’t think callouts are necessary unless its to save other people from being hurt by a manipulative and serially abusive person, so bare that in mind as you read this post.
The main focus is on the first trigger warning, and that will be the most explicit part of the post (and also the first part) so if that’s a big trigger for you this post may not be suitable to read.
(tw for incest, incest apologism, stalking, death threats, systemfaking/ableism, abuse apologism)
first callout: https://appearifycallout.tumblr.com/post/159542443182/callout-for-tumblr-user-appearifyfuchsianshoruss
It seems we’re back again with calling out tumblr user Appearify. Leon, or Lane, Chase, Miles- or whatever name he has chosen to use to try and separate himself from the monstrous things he did, has been up to more things as of late, more or less warranting a follow up callout to the last. If you haven’t read the last callout, you should (link, in case you couldn’t grab it before you started reading), and if you were swayed by his excuses on that one, here’s a post debunking that.
Leon has “apologized” numerous times for his actions, and has made claims about changing and being a better person, yet this has apparently been a statement ongoing for years, which is why I am writing this callout. I have no intention of bringing harm to Leon or his friendgroup, but instead I’m trying to warn others away from their actions. Anything involving Leon after this I will not take part in, as I am choosing to drop the situation lest something comes up again.
stalking & death threats:
Getting right into it, we have several screenshots worth of Leon’s cronies stalking, harassing, and sending death threats to a user who has tried to actively escape Leon and his friends.
(These were originally deleted from their inbox during a panic attack, but a screenshot from their activity page was salvaged. The Static Collection refers to the system belonging to user staticsignalz, one of Leon’s friends. )
Above, you can see death threats sent to the person who made the debunking of Leon’s “apology” (receipts will be listed in another section). They had changed blogs specifically to escape the hate and personal attacks sent at them from after the callout and the debunking.
The person in question receiving threats and being harassed is a 15-year-old with OSDD, hardly a teenager, and Leon’s ex-datemate, who is currently struggling with PTSD and severe suicidal tendencies because of the situation. Below is a number of harassing messages that were sent to them.
(link) (link) (link) (link) (link) (link)
Below is the protector of the system explaining why they did the things they did.
(link) (link)
The protector owns up to his system’s mistakes, and says that he wants the situation to be over with. Leon’s friends, however, continued to harass them, so much into the point of moving. They moved after only being able to stay on their blog for two months.
On their new blog, they were safe for about two weeks, before they began receiving the hateful messages (refer to the first few screenshots) after a promo for their blog.
One of Leon’s friends states this, saying that his friends found his ex’s blog. Now, this wouldn’t have been a problem if Leon had just silently put the blog URLs on his BYF and moved on. This person is essentially excusing Leon’s abuse to the person found by saying “it was accidental that he encountered their URL”.
(it looks like the response screenshotted above was deleted, but it was in response to one of their system mate’s posts.)
(link)
However, in the post linked, he claims that he “was perfectly content with them being know knows where out in Tumblrspace”. Leon has resorted to blatant lies in order to cover up the fact that he is continuously allowing his friends to harass his ex-datemate (who, again, is already dealing with severe PTSD from him).
The people listed here (aside from the last person(?)) are all victims of Leon’s abuse, and all people who are under 16. Leon states that he simply doesn’t want people who associate with the three following him in his apology, yet they’re compiled on his BYF as if they’re horrible people who hurt him. Chandlerdeans and Fantaspritewiki moved to get away from Leon’s friends’ constant stalking and torment, but the likeliest case is either that his friends have seeked them both out and/or Leon himself has seeked them out.
He makes quick work to distance himself from his image as Leon:
He states, in his tags on the first post, “I’m Jake now”. This is a blatant attempt to distance himself from his former image as an abuser without acknowledging or making any effort to change himself. Which, as a personal victim of his abuse, is extremely upsetting and frustrating to deal with.
To top it off, Leon’s ex-datemate is also kin with Jake English- one who is severely uncomfortable with doubles. Seeing doubles occasionally made (and still makes) them suicidal. Leon knew this, but knowingly kinned Jake anyways, as well as displaying blatant refusal to drop or repress the kin with excuses as to why he “can’t” drop the kin. Very shortly after, he began being more open about shipping JakeJane, which is his ex’s trigger ship. Do what you will with this information.
Ah, speaking of JakeJane, we’re going to be moving on to the next section, we get into Leon’s unhealthy obsession with JakeJane (amongst other incestual/gross ships). Bear in mind that this section will jump the tracks and move onto the proof that his incestual ways tie into the fact that he’s into noncon.
Leon states that JakeJane isn’t incest, as they aren’t “blood related”. While this is true, Jake and Jane are still adopted second cousins-
One’s first instinct upon looking at this screenshot is to say, “well, Jake had a crush on Jane too! They were engaged in Trickster Mode!” Which, unfortunately for you, dear reader, is only partly true, as debunked and explained here in one small screenshot:
However, here, Leon states that it’s not “incest”, but a “fact”. Leon has participated in numerous incestual ships in the past, this only being one in the mixture.
On his BYF, he states:
Despite the fact that JakeJane is incest and abuse.
(link)
In his “apology”, Leon claims that he “used” to like such ships that are blatantly abusive and incestual. He claims that he wants no part of this anymore, however he has seemed to center his blog around JakeJane, a horribly abusive and incestual ship.
He claims that JakeJane “is not incest, because they’re not blood related”, which apparently gives him a pass to be open and practice it in a harmful way to others. He does not use JakeJane to cope. He praises and holds it to the heavens as if it’s healthy and a good situation for Jake English as a character to be in.
In reality, Jane was a horrible friend to him throughout most of the comic (intentionally, this was how Hussie wrote her off, mind you!), and here are some screenshots of many that prove this claim!
People are very, very quick to write this scene off as “it wasn’t Jane’s fault; she was being mind-controlled! She didn’t mean to do it!”, which would be true, if it weren’t for a very strong argument coming from the direction of an old friend who will not be named in this callout due to not being within 10 miles of this situation itself.
Leon has been doing this kind of shit since 2015, mind you, and he states it openly-
(link)
(link)
Leon has claimed to not “support” these kinds of ships, like the incestuous ZahhakCest above, yet he still ships JakeJane, which is, believe it or not, still incest. Adoptive cousins, adoptive siblings, half siblings are all still family members. He says he doesn’t support it “in canon,” which was visibly abusive, but that’s like saying none of the abusive stuff ever happened.
Again, note that Leon has never actually been abused, nor has he ever been a victim of incest, so he’s not using these ships to cope, either. Even if he was using it to cope, he’s doing it in the open, where victims of abuse and incest can see.
(link)
The sick fuck flatout admits to having thoughts of rape and murder, as well as the fact that he still indulges in it. While I understand having impulses and intrusive thoughts, there’s one thing that’s wrong with this (besides, wow, everything):
Leon thought it was okay to practice this “kink” around people who were/are harmed by it. He treats rape victims like jokes, and while I hate to scrape the bottom of the barrel like this, keep in mind that Leon has not changed his stance on this at all since 2015, which does not, in the slightest, nullify these arguments.
(link) (link) (link) (link) (link)
(link)
Leon blatantly mocks someone with trauma for being angry at him because of his noncon “kink”. He then brushes it off and tries to excuse it.
(link) (link)
He acts as if his actions are not harmful to the people around him; mirroring the way he treated his ex-datemate and their friends. Don’t be misled when Leon says-
(link)
-Because he is not sorry. He is not sorry at all. He will do whatever it takes to infantalize himself, to make himself look like the attacked, not the attacker. He does harmful things to people and throws fits (as shown above) when called out on them, instead attempting to make it about some completely different aspect, blown way out of proportion to push down the matter at hand.
The reason for the debunking post of the “apology” he made was to shed light onto this problem, not to say “this wasn’t good enough!”. The screenshot provided above was literally all Leon needed to say in order for this situation to be put to rest in its dusty coffin, but instead he chose to try and distance himself from his crimes, and act as if they weren’t harmful or wrong to anyone. He gives one apology, one apology in one tiny paragraph, and that’s the end- the rest is excuses.
This is still toxic behaviour that Leon has yet to distance himself from, despite outsider belief.
I tie this into the dilemma of incest shipping, because Leon is very open about what harmful things he does.
ableism/systemfaking:
Leon seems to have a very specific view on PDs and mental illness. Leon’s ex-datemate suffers from untreated BPD, which, as a result, causes explosive anger. As well as this, due to their trauma, they have a trauma response that is to get angry and defensive whenever they feel threatened. Leon believed this action to be bad, and would yell at them constantly for this, resulting in his ex-datemate having more trauma.
Leon blows this way out of proportion, calling himself “an abuse victim”. He believes his ex-datemate’s trauma response (specifically, explosive anger and fear directed towards him for the things he did to them) is “abuse”, and labels himself as such.
While that alone, is an ugly crime in itself, he seems to be infantalizing himself in order to gain sympathy from people by using this as a badge. He is someone who suffers from BPD himself, and did the same thing to his last two datemates multiple times.
(link)
Here, he blatantly admits that he tends to be overdramatic and act entitled, yet he refuses to take any action to change or admit his wrongdoings. He admits to being a horrible person who does terrible things, yet still calls himself an abuse victim. Which, we all know, is not in the slightest true.
Leon lives in a fairly wealthy household with his grandparents, who at the very most, leave him to his own accord on a daily basis, and yell at him at times for not doing chores, but that’s it. Nothing that has happened in the past 3-4 years of Leon’s life can be warranted for him to use the label “abuse victim”.
On another note, and getting right into it- he’s a fake system.
He clearly states that he’s an endogenic system, which, in case you aren’t keen on DID/OSDD knowledge: an endogenic system is a system made to be from "internal origins." It describes the natural occurrence of multiplicity that does not include trauma-based dissociation, or even dissociation of any kind.
(The taker of the screenshot was not very savvy with systems at the time, and still aren't- do excuse their lack of knowledge here.)
In short: fake. Endogenic systems are fake.
In his apology, he refuses to address any of this, even excusing his actions:
(link)
Breaking this down into pieces in two sentences or less for each portion-
1. Nobody asked whether or not he had a professional diagnosis. The writer of the first callout claims that he’s faking because his alters would “die”.
2. He doesn’t have OSDD-1B, because he’s Endogenic.
3. The apparent “writer of the callout” only has two Homestuck fictives, the rest are nonfictives kin with Homestuck characters and feel comfortable going by their kin names.
4. This is untrue. Fictives are rare in all systems. It’s literally scientific fact.
He also blatantly sexualizes characters that are his “system mates”, but claims that the posts were not about the particular system mate. In the case of this, Leon, as a system host, should not be treating his “alters” this way, even if he did “get consent” to talk like that. Alters are not toys, they are people with feelings.
Not much else needs to be said here, this mess just sorts itself out.
abuse apologism:
While I hate to be short on this section, not much here really needs to be said, aside from Leon’s response to the first callout, as well as his affiliations to Jane Crocker.
(link)
All of this, essentially, is one big attempt for Leon to excuse and brush off taking any responsibility for his actions. He acts as if he’s sorry in the very beginning, but instead goes on to “provide his viewpoint” on the situation, essentially stating that he believes what he’s done isn’t wrong, problematic, e.t.c., as well as showing that he has a rather large victim complex.
As well as that, he seems to have an affiliation for Jane Crocker, which strikes me as odd, given the fact that Jane is Jake’s abuser. He makes claims that hating her is “misogynistic”, despite not being a girl himself, giving him no room to dispute what is and isn’t misogynistic.
Even going so far as to copy the format of the trend his ex-datemate started to glorify her, Leon has yet to provide evidence that Jane is as innocent and pure as he makes her out to be.
sexualization of minors:
Note that the people in this group chat are as young as fourteen years old. Leon openly hinted at sexual things, and often made sexual passes, going so far as to talk about openly masturbating and sexual things he did with his body.
Leon never received consent to make sexual passes and jokes to the people in the group, assuming that they were comfortable with it from the start. Again, the three people he associated with were minors who, in some degree, have dealt with rape/sexual abuse & sexual harassment.
Although he acknowledged it, he refused to respect the boundaries of his friends, and continuously made sexual passes and advances to his ex-datemate.
Nowhere in his “apology” does he once address this issue, making it about how the callout was filled with “nullified information”. Not once does he apologize for this harmful behavior. He attempts to play the card that his ex-datemate was into this kind of stuff, but in truth, as a rape victim, they were extremely uncomfortable, only refusing to speak up due to their fear of Leon getting angry with them.
things that do not fit into the callout, but should be addressed:
Leon is angry and violent when he doesn't get his way. He is selfish, controlling, and manipulative- using any excuses he may be able to dig up in order to excuse his actions. For years he has been saying that he'll change and become a better person, but continues to refuse to do so. He turned down help when it was offered, and as stated before, he made excuses as to why he couldn’t do what was suggested by his past friends to help him improve.
He openly admits to doing bad things, yes, but while this is true, Leon believes that since he acknowledges his abusive behavior, that he does not have to change it.
Leon is a very dangerous person who, as the previous callout states, uses a myriad of lies and projection to step out of the fires and turmoil he has caused unharmed. This behavior has been going on for years; it has not seized, and it is unlikely that it will.
To Leon, if you are reading this callout, as I know you will, I'm warning you now to spare yourself and just get off the internet. I can only hope you haven't hurt or manipulated your new friends as much as you have with your past victims.
here is a list of Leon's blogs, in case you'd like to block him:
This callout has been long overdue, as Miles has been manipulating and abusing people for years, but never taking the blame for himself or admitting he was wrong. I don’t think callouts are necessary unless its to save other people from being hurt by a manipulative and serially abusive person, so bare that in mind as you read this post.
The main focus is on the first trigger warning, and that will be the most explicit part of the post (and also the first part) so if that’s a big trigger for you this post may not be suitable to read.
Most of this post is comprised of screenshots of his blogs. These are links (and archives) to the blogs featured. I tried to archive as much as possible but unfortunately there is a script preventing me from archiving horuss-moved234567865.
horuss (his first blog)
fuchsians (his previous blog) (archive)
appearify (his current blog) (archive)
The rest of the callout will be split into separate parts for ease of reading and for the sake of tidiness (seriously, there’s a lot to go through here).
(Also as a sidenote, all the screenshots where Miles is not referred to as such are from before he changed his name)/
Section one: The noncon “kink”.
Miles has repeatedly stated that he has a noncon kink, and though he states it’s “just fictional”, that does not make the kink any more acceptable, as it is comparable to saying pedophillia is ok if it’s “just fictional”, even though in many parts of the world any form of child porn, illustrated, written, or photographed, is illegal. He also clearly does not just keep this kink to fiction, and includes unwilling parties in it. Also please note, he is not a survivor and does not use these to cope.
Below are screenshots of one of his previous datemate explaining their experiences with this kink. (Names are blacked out of anonymity).
These screenshots illustrate that he fantasises about rape and non consensual sexual activity outside of fiction, and does not hold back on telling people about it. He makes a habit of talking about fictional rape with people who are unwilling as well, for example;
At the time these roleplays were happening, Gamzee was one of Miles’ main IDs, which could infer that Miles was also fantasising about rape with this person, who he admitted he had (unrequited) feelings for.
Both of these examples are anecdotal, and Miles no longer publicly posts about his noncon kink. However, on his first blog he talked openly about it on occasion.

link
When confronted about these kinks, Miles always avoids and ignores the question, refusing to listen or understand how harmful they are. (TW: suicide baiting)
link
link
link
link
link (hey at least he’s right about something)
Miles’ disrespect for those who have been abused does not end at his unapologetic treatment of his harmful interest. Below, he mocks a CSA survivor who is explaining to him why he shouldn’t be kin with one of the characters that he is, and, again, ignores what they say about noncon, instead focusing as one sentence at the end of their message.
link
link
link
The poor “just unfollow” argument doesn’t hold up in this situation, as the original asker was telling him why he was being problematic, and he refused to listen.
Below, one of Miles’ alters sexually harasses one of his previous datemates, who has suffered sexual abuse in the past, and Miles knows this.
These are just a few examples of Miles’ poor sexual practices, as he has done many more and does frequent harm to those close to him.
Section 2: Damaging ships
Over the years Miles has had numerous ships which feature abusers and abuse victims, adults and minors, and even incestuous ships. He is not a survivor of any of these and does not use them to cope.
My first example contains all of these; it is the character Condescension from Homestuck, and the character she abuses, manipulates, mind controls, and mothers, Jane Egbert.
There is no screenshot evidence I can garner from Miles’ blogs of this, as he is incredibly aware that it is a bad ship, but continues to ship it anyway, because it’s a “guilty pleasure”.
The censored name is one of Miles’ previous datemates.
Another damaging ship he loves to partake in is Zahhakcest, which is, as it sounds, an incest ship with both of the Zahhaks from Homestuck.
link
I only included one screenshot but if you search through this blog it is not hard to find posts glorifying Zahhakcest, as well as abusive ships such as Gamquius and Tavris.
Section 3: race faking
As soon as he moved to a new blog after driving his previous datemate to a suicide attempt, Miles coincidentally found out that he isn’t white, but is half native american on his biological mother’s side, despite the fact that he has no contact with this side of his family whatsoever and hadn’t found out this information until incredibly recently.
The following is a screenshot from his old blog, which he abandoned for his new blog and found out that he was mixed race within a day.
link archive
He acknowledges that he is not a POC in this screenshot, but apparently that is now null.
He also has posted selfies which showcase the fact that he is white as well as having no native american facial features.
link archive
link archive
Section 4: system faking
There are a multitude of reasons as to why Miles’ system is not only impossible, but a tool he uses to abuse people.
Here is an explanation by a person who has been professionally diagnosed with DID and knows the criteria and reasons that systems form better than I could explain.
And here is proof that Miles’ system is made up not only of almost primarily fictives, but also contains “dead” alters.
[I don’t have a screenshot for his alter page because it’s very long and is easier to read if you click the links, these are for his previous blog].
link archive
[And these are for his current blog].

He also sexualises a system member who is sex repulsed.
He also uses alters, such as Davesprite and Echo, as a way of spiting those who have broken off friendships because of his abusive tendencies, by recreating their personalities in a twisted and frequently sexualised manner.
Section 5: the other stuff that just doesn’t really fit into any of the rest of this callout
All in all, Miles uses a myriad of lies to manipulate and control his friends and partners, and shows no remorse for doing so, even going to far as to claim those who he has abused as abusers, for telling him that he has hurt them, or stopping contact with him after he becomes more controlling and possessive over them.
His upset always comes out as a guilt trippy mess, designed to antagonise others and make people sorry for himself. because of the way he acts, his friends are often afraid of telling him that something he is doing is wrong or bad, as he won’t apologise for his actions, but instead will go off into a spiel about how much he hates himself. Example below.
If you have read to the end of this post, good job. It is incredibly long. I hope you understand the reasons why so many people are no longer friends with him, and attempt to avoid him at all costs, and Miles, if you are reading this, I’m sorry but it had to be done. I really hope you actually listen this time and take steps towards improving yourself so you don’t hurt your new friends.
