Kellster kitten trying to resell CavitySam's gift for $2,000

CavitySam sent me this post Via Ig and was, rightfully so.. felt very hurt, upset, livid and betreyed. Kellster had pretended that she had loved CavitySam in order to get a free Beetlejuice head out of her.. only when she got what she wanted, told Cavity that she no longer loved her and screwed her out of a fursuit head.

As I’ve observed; Kellster lives at home with mom and dad and is about.. 32 I presume.. And from what I’ve heard, her mom still grounds her.. specifically for commissioning Beetlejuice porn that her mommy told her she wasn’t allowed to have on more times then one and is currently hiding a lifesize beetlejuice plush sex toy  (probly under her bed) from her mom so she doesn’t get spankings and though she has a job, previously she had not had one and had made her parents buy her all of her fursuits.. about 2 new ones pew few months. and as she’s gotten better ones, resold the suits for worse for the wear condition then she had received them and as I’ve seen.. gave the makers a hard time upon commissioning them. Now even though Kellster has a job and all, she spends all of her paychecks on fursuit stuff as soon as she gets them and is broke the next day.. unable to afford her next suit she’s got big eyes for.. which would be a Made for You version of a Beetlejuice head. As I’ve been talking to a few other furs who are mutual friends of Cavity Sam and I.. Made for You is VERY picky about who they take suit commissions for and I’m sure Kellster would be no acception given her track record and the fame she has garnered herself in the fandom as not only lying, cheating and creating drama to get what she wants, but also creating petty drama within the MFY community (and in general) earning herself the cold shoulder from most who have gotten to know her.

And last but not least, Not only has she totally screwed over a popular fursuit maker and friend to all who meet her, but also her ex, who I’ll keep confidential for her safety. Kellster has taken gifts that her ex has either made or got for her and THROWN THEM IN THE TRASH and taken pictures and posted them to Fur Affinity.. (her main watering hole) and was sure to show her ex to make a point on how upset she was that she didn’t get her way over something.. like a spoilt 3 year old toddler which she claims to be online.. only without the spoilt 3 year old part. And not only that, when her ex has blocked her on multiple occations, she has contacted her family members in which she has been trying to hide from for private reasons and given them their adress and to go talk to her for her so she can once again be the center of attention, this failing to realize the amount of danger she has put the ex in on more then one occation…and instead, Uses the “pity me, Mommy I don’t know any better wahhhhh” pity card so she forgives her.

Not that I have an issue with baby furs.. just ones that act all cute and innocent and hide behind a mask where their true colors lurk and come out the second one doesn’t get their way.. And she claims all of this is okay because she has a mental disorder by the name of Autism which excuses her from all of her wrongdoings and screwing over of people in the fandom/around her and thus absolves her of all blame and upset in which we should reward her by babying her with hugs and hisses and internet asspats in which this she will act like Baby Sinclair from the 1990s show “Dinosaurs” and say her not original catchphrase of “I’m the baby, Gotta love me!!!2!”…I have friends and know plenty of people that have Autism and they would never EVER behave this way for any reason and make the proper apology right awy and work to become a better person and take on cues of “let me be, you hurt me” instead of harassing the persons family to get around the deserved block.

I really did not want to do this, but what Kellster did here tonight to CavitySam pushed me over the edge and deserves to be put on blast. Kellster will never learn and she will never stop her shitty behaviour and only stops for a couple days when she gets caught and gets in trouble for it. And this is certainly something she deserves to get in trouble/called out for.

As one of the people who called out Kellster said, I do agree with them.. if Kellster needs money so bad, she can work for someone, work for her parents and keep showing up to work and doing a good job and wait for that paycheck and pay all her bills and save up whatever is left over for her 12th suit if she wants it sooooo bad.. ; In the mean time, She should sell her suit for a WAY lower price to someone who will appreciate it and who will treasure it like she so carelessly failed to do and I would say she owes CavitySam an apology but she is totally done with her and wants nothing to do with her. If she wants friends and another Girlfriend so bad, she is doing a REALLY shitty job at getting them, because this is a PRIME example on how to be POS friend. CavitySam I apologize to you for having to deal with such a shitty human being who doesn’t appreciate all the hard work you put into making someone who pulled the wool over your eyes to make you think that she cared, happy.. you deserve better and I, as a firend and all of your friends and family around you appreciate you and are proud to call you our friend and find your work.. both art and suits to be perfectly adorable and would only be so lucky to have such a perfect suit made for us for free.

It does reference your own work because you couldn’t be bothered to fix it anyway so that it WOULDN’T fall apart.

[chival]

Lol right!?? I like how LB tries to shift blame to someone else when explaining why the lining in _______'s suit is bad. As OP pointed out, if, LB recieved the base for the customer's project, and the lining wasn't up to speed, why didn't you fix it first LB? You know, before your own "expert" work went into it? Gotta love how she's turning off comments on most posts regarding costumes. Refusing to own up to the recent proof her work is amature construction, and her customer service skills are nightmarish. Anyone wanting more proof should check out Fluvvbusters Instagram.

[chival]

Guys, can we take a second to talk about plagiarizing, and how it’s not ok to mimic another artist’s work? Lbfromtheblock / Fluvvcostumes /Likwidsunshinestudios has come into the spotlight (yet again) and has been caught plagiarizing not one, but two separate well known makers: Splinterfox (foam base) and Myrtle'smonsters (slime/drippy bandana) In addition to these blatant cases of copying, Lbfromtheblock’s latest fullsuit customer recieved a nightmarish product that was falling apart out of the box. LB has denied any sort of responsibility for the unwearable condition the buyer recieved. Despite thorough documentation of amateur stitching, seams and sewing. Lb has also been politely contacted by some of these plagerized artists dirrectly, only to block them and turn off comments on the pieces under question. All of these cases have been well documented on Fluvvbusters Instagram (owner of said sub par fursuit) and I encourage the spread of this information. Before others are tricked into doing business with LB.

Hi :) Zombie-Kumos from DA here. I don't use tumblr or I'd just comment on the post. Unless Deviantart removes that journal about Nakomii, it's not going anywhere. She's asked me many of times to remove it, I told her too bad, if it really bothers her, she should do better so the journal becomes just a past thing when her business improves... after getting notes and comments over the last month or so, I'd like to think it's safe to say she hasn't and won't.

Also. I have kinda washed my hands of Nakomii, mainly because I just have little time for doing it these days, as well as not really handling a lot of her fursuit stuff, I mainly covered taxidermy (which I hear she’s still selling on a side instagram itsprobablydead). However, I will document all the current shit going on. So feel free to send it over on deviantart, I already got all the stuff people linked me to here. I’m willing to make another journal someday but be patient please.

[chival]

Do yourself a favor a skim through this nightmare.

[fuckingfurries]

after reading about the stuff in Mars's items she sends out like bugs, smoke and mold I really don't think a shower for a head is gonna help, or that getting the head wet is gonna be the issue well wet foam=mold I guess but I hope whoever gets that head in doesn't have an allergic reaction :C Anyone know the customer? or can warn the customer if they don't know?

The head that was washed was for a customer who created a beware against Mars, and was one of their complaints. It’s featured in this post - https://www.instagram.com/p/BQyklILDd7R/?hl=en

[fuckingfurries]

User mirrorsfrost on IG who posted their experience with mars a few days ago just received their suits, and they are as bad as expected to be if not worse. She posted videos of all the flaws.

I’ll use this submission to announce that I have added Itsprobablymars to our beware list. For their poor customer service, poor fursuit construction (with questionable conditions; ie not informing customers ahead of time regarding the smoking, possible bugs shipped with refunded fur) and their previous and extensive issues within the taxidermy community. 

I’m aware that there is a post on our blog made by Itsprobablymars showing that they refunded their taxidermy customers, but it’s becoming more than obvious that they have still not improved their customer service or product quality. Blaming it on inexperience when it doesn’t appear they are all that new to the business of either.

I’ve seen quite a few people commenting on these instagram bewares that they are owed artwork and other things from Mars. If you have proof of your claims I would highly encourage you to send them here, or to http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/

As was posted earlier, please continue to be respectful and use Mars’ appropriate pronouns. I’ve noticed a lot of asks are using she/her, but in their instagram profile they state they use they/them.

Absolutely insanely awful fursuit experience. Your jaw will hit the floor more than once watching these reviews. So sad to see something like this. AGAIN.

[horrificfursuits]

a couple of years ago i commissioned my very first head from mfy and now that i know that syber sells murrsuits and shit i'm really regretting ever giving her $1,000 (plus, the way the head turned out didn't even match my reference i provided & the eye shapes aren't even symmetrical lmfao). i've been thinking about potentially having it refurbished instead of getting a new head. would it be fucked up to see if anyone else can make my head look better? i don't wanna give syber any more of my $$$

[chival]

Here's my only ask regarding your "is it fucked up if:" Did you at any point of your commission tell Syber that markings were off, or that the eyes were not pleasing? If it was never discussed and there was never any oportunity for her to find out you were displeased, aside from this HorrificFursuit post where you say less than respectful things about her work.....then yeah. I'd label it a fucked up move. But, If there were known problems and she refused to work on them that's much different. Care to elaborate the whole ordeal more for a better oppinion from those reading?

BEWARE: Haley Hoover AKA Furtastic Fursuits

WHERE: Through Facebook, original sales post was removed by them. WHAT: $160 DVC small k9 blank with parts installed. WHEN: August 24th, 2016 PROOF: Initial contact: http://imgur.com/a/Cswp1 Proof of payment: http://imgur.com/a/0iTW8 Asking about shipping: http://imgur.com/a/B6638 Asking again, telling them about USPS pick-up: http://imgur.com/a/pKmd8 Asking, no responses: http://imgur.com/a/zyUQY Getting a response but nothing promising, then asking for a refund. The last message Facebook says they read was at 2:56. http://imgur.com/a/UAvHV More being ignored. http://imgur.com/a/WIANH EXPLAIN: Haley was offering a DVC small canine base up for sale on the “fursuit makers and furry artists” group on Facebook so I hopped on the opportunity since I needed one. Suffice to say I have yet to receive the product and actually ordered 6 resin bases from DVC on the same day a few hours earlier and have already received that before this. It should be noted that I HAVE called PayPal about it and they refuse to issue me a claim because it was sent through the equivalent of “friends and family” while I had my student account (it sends everything outside of website purchases as such). At this point I may never receive my money nor my product. September 19: She has posted a smaller A_B about me to a Facebook group using screenshots I posted above. I censored names of people not involved but she makes bold claims about me scamming other people, calls me “stupid” and a hypocrite, has spent the money I sent for the base so the option of a refund is no longer there and makes some unnecessary comments about my “perfect life”. She has yet to message me back since Saturday so I did not know she apparently plans on sending out the base this weekend had I not received these screenshots.  http://imgur.com/a/o6voS http://imgur.com/a/2uTGc http://imgur.com/a/muhIM http://imgur.com/a/Y2GBe October 16: I have been asking practically every day for a month now (can provide screenshots, it’s mostly just “Any updates?”) and finally got them to respond… Just to be ignored again. They claim they’ll issue a refund and then go back to the “I’ll mail it soon” excuse. At this point I just want the refund because I know I will never see the supplies. http://imgur.com/a/xOo2X October 17: Finally got a response… to find out not only is she 15-years-old, but she can’t issue a refund anyway and her boyfriend gets involved. Our conversation (I admit to getting aggressive towards the end, I had a headache): http://imgur.com/a/cop1C The conversation with the boyfriend: http://imgur.com/a/ZCYLb She also decided to write a second Facebook Beware on me, it has since been taken down by the admins of the group but she ironically used a screenshot I took in her first piece of evidence. http://imgur.com/a/RaBYC October 18: According to the bewaree and her boyfriend the boyfriend’s mother mailed out the package this morning but neither of them are able to provide a tracking number. Here’s the conversation I had with him today (language/caps warning): http://imgur.com/a/gf5Uv October 20: Was blocked by the user but I received the base today. The box was poorly taped together so it buckled in and the base reeks of cat urine so an animal had to have sprayed it.  http://imgur.com/a/DXUZH Base was infected with cockroaches. It turns out (upon ripping up it up) the box has pee and vomit stains on it. Lovely.http://imgur.com/a/lsxEN

I have no words other than this GIF because holy fucking SHIT ON A SILVER PLATTER

This is legitimately one of the scariest grossest things I've ever heard, let alone SEEN regarding a fursuit related purchase. ROACHES!!!! Honeslty just looking at the filth on the mouth, it's very clear that wherever this base was being stored has a HEAVY infestation of roaches. I gagged at the last shot. You can literally see a roach leg on the lip. God I'm so sorry this happened to you.

[horrificfursuits]

This is…a deer? Also, what’s up with that head size in proportion to the rest of the body?

[chival]

How about the super sketchy part? LB got the base she used on this as a trade with Pastapaws and then proceeded to SLANDER the poor thing when the head arrived slightly dammaged with a bit of touch ups needed? She never even tried to talk to poor Pasta. Instead LB dirrected her 10k Instagram folowers to go and harass Pastapaws. Saying "It's a fair warning to my followers." Anyone else catch that bit? I commented on the submission of this suit on FA and LB not liking my non praise on this deleted my comments. I did screen grab her reply and my response before she hid all 3 of our comments. From where I'm sitting LB you are one sketchy sketchy individual. The list of incidences grows ever longer.

My experience with Catch_That_Cat/Sour Puss Suits

This is FaceRot/FleeceRot. I don’t use tumblr much anymore but I need to make it known what this artist has done/is doing. I saw there was already a post here about them, so I wanted to add my side of the story.

I have had at least 5 different different people reach out to me over the last couple days on different sites about Catch_That_Cat’s newest suit project, which you can see all over their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catch_that_cat/ If you browse those photos you will see lots of people confronting them about the suit looking like a copy of my work/that it isn’t okay to profit off of it/etc.

(You can see examples of my work here if you are unfamiliar with it: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/fleecerot)

I contacted Catch_That_Cat privately via twitter (in the morning) because I was not familiar with how Instagram worked. I explained my feelings and discomfort regarding their suit, and asked them not to sell it. When I sent the DM there were only two WIPs posted, later that night they posted more WIPs without any response to my message. I had to make an instagram account, and leave them a comment telling them that I had messaged them.

I finally received a reply. You can see screenshots of our entire conversation, as well as photos of the suit in question here: http://imgur.com/a/eRGzZ

All of their replies are very long, laced with flattery, and an edge of manipulation. They refuse to acknowledge what they have done and use my own words against me in an attempt to guilt trip me. They completely disregard my feelings, in fact the only thing they apologized for was the fact that “I was upset”. They claim they NEED to sell the suit for money yet they own suits from some of the most expensive and well-known makers in the fandom. They claim to “want to make things right” but offer no form of compromise whatsoever. They admit that they should credit artists for inspiration but fear the backlash (not something you would hear from a confident/original artist). Then they post the finished product, still without any credit to anyone but themselves.

They are getting a lot of praise for this suit and already have people showing interest in commissions (posted in my imgur link as well.) I hate going public with this sort of thing but they have really given me no choice. I have…no idea what to do at this point. The suit is still being auctioned and currently has 9 bids and they still refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoing. I am not the first artist they have done this to, and I fear I will not be the last. 

Thank you for any support.

[chival]

Catch_The_Cat knows what they are doing is wrong. I'm absolutely sick reading through this turn if events. All my support and encouragement to Facerot/Fleecerot

[fuckingfurries]

It's not about being carbon copies, it's about essentially knowingly bootlegging established independent artists. SourPussStudios knows what they are doing. The problem lies in the fact that they are basically waiting for other artists to do ALL THE WORK of setting up a look, a style, a brand. Letting other artist do ALL THE WORK of getting their work out there and recognizable and desirable. Then, they come in and purposefully copy these artists hard work to undercut them and bootleg it.

http://m.imgur.com/a/eRGzZ Have yourself a read. Tldr: Catch_The_Cat/ Maisie rips off other makers and blocks them once confronted. Yup. Pretty disgusted.

[chival]

This is honestly one of the worst cases of blatant plaugerism I've ever seen in the fursuit community. Catch_The_Cat aka Maisie has chosen to heavily reference the works of Fleecerot/ Facerot and the turn around and sell said suit without an ounce of credit to them. Even AFTER Fleecerot said to Catch that they were uncomfortable with them selling the suit as is. It turns extra disgusting when you learn Fleecerot contacted them first privately through direct message while CTC was still in the process of making said head. Catch admits she should have credited Fleece, but then turns around and refuses to work with them to find a settling point where they can both be happy. Catch blocks Fleecerot preventing any further discussion on the subject. ONE quick look at Fleecrot's well composed details of the events is more than enough to see who's in the wrong here. And that's not even getting into the several times before this Catch has been in hot water for blatantly copying other makers styles. They choose to play victim and hide behind deleted accounts. They whine about how they have to sell this plaugerized costume it to make ends meet, but still have a over 3k Autumn Falling Suit they are keeping. Don't say you're sooooo hard up for cash when you aren't. Their childish behavior and attitude makes me sick. Catch you should change your name to: CAUGHT. ;X Absolutely Disgusting.

Say hi to my girl! She is a druid from WOW. Her name is Chival, just like my main OC of the past 14 years. She enjoys SMASHING people’s skulls and disemboweling the stupid in her spare time. Trying to find artists to trade with and get some artwork of her. Interested in a sketch trade? Drop me a msg.

Holly. I just need you to know these exist. Stumbled across them & knew I had to show you.
