i wanted to rp with jessica but then i saw a post that she said she labels the ip of all her partners to weed out any potential anon hate. i didn't feel safe then, needless to say... i don't think that is a healthy behaviour, truth to be told.
I use stat counter, your ip is labeled from when you replied to our rp, I have been labeling all my partners to weed out who has been sending hate and today I saw it was you…
This is the link to that post, which Jessica has since decided to delete. You were right to stay away from her after seeing that. This kind of behaviour is dangerous to be around. Especially when you factor in that she’s RPing a character who’s very popular with children/minors. If she’s tracking IPs of everyone she interacts with, then she’s tracking minor’s IPs too. I’d advise most people to avoid her, since this is anything but healthy. It’s wrong. It also says a lot about her that she thinks anyone she interacts with could send her anon hate.
The Facts
Since Lindsay has clearly lied to several people about what’s really been going on, here’s a huge list with links so people can find out the truth for themselves.
Lindsay pretended to be someone else. She tricked people into believing she was “Z”.
When that post was made she quickly deleted Z’s blog and any posts relating to him, and threatened several people with legal action. Even though she was the one who’d impersonated someone. She literally deleted the evidence. A lawyer wouldn’t accept that case (whatever case she thinks she has.)
She’s threatened people with fake lawyer’s before, with the same results. She conveniently forgets about them if you let her, and lies her way out if you keep bringing it up. Like she’s doing now.
The lawyer was in response to being caught impersonating someone else, it had nothing to do with tumblr. This means that tumblr would not deal with any legal issues involving Lindsay, since they haven’t done anything.
Skipping back earlier in the year to the time she pushed a former-friend to attempt suicide, that doesn’t need a link. I don’t want to drag that back up without said former-friend’s permission. All anyone needs to know is that there is a mountain of evidence (including this cap that Lindsay posted herself) along with witnesses, who saw Lindsay bullying this person continuously. It’s Lindsay that pushed someone to want to hurt themselves. Now she’s trying to flip that situation and saying it’s us pushing her, because she can’t get out of this web of lies she’s created. This is the short post a made the last time she brought this up and lied about it.
She’s dishonest, a bully, and dangerous. She’s fed people so many lies. When lindsayfussell and I receive anons from her and her ”friends”, you can see people unquestioningly going along with what she’s saying. We have proof she’s a liar and a bully. That’s why she calls these hate blogs. She doesn’t want you to look and see what she’s really like, so here you go. Here’s more links:
After Lindsay threatened lindsayfussell, this was the response she got. lindsayfussell didn’t get a reply back, unsurprisingly.
More information on her “lawyer”. She made it very clear that if she was in contact with a lawyer, and it was about lindsayfussell, myself, and others that caught her impersonating “Z”. Not tumblr.
lindsayfussell gave Lindsay more than enough chances to share the details, something she has to do by law, or to come clean. Lindsay did neither, she chose to keep lying.
For people who want to whine and claim lindsayfussell’s the bully, read this. Actually do some research for yourselves and see what’s really been happening. Lindsay’s lying to you. She’s lied to all of her friends, and the reason they aren’t around now is because they got out. Like this person, and this anon tried to, and this anon.
You talk to anyone that used to be close to Lindsay and they’ll back this up, even if Lindsay will attack them after. (Here’s another link if that wasn’t enough for you.) These two posts are much longer and more detailed. They back up everything I’ve seen Lindsay do, everything I’ve experienced, and everything lindsayfussell experienced with her.
Here’s a link to a post about Lindsay attacking a girl who ships skyeward. She didn’t leave that girl alone, even after she made her delete her blog.
This isn’t the first time she’s attacked skyeward shippers, either, and she’s attacked Lincoln fans too. The second she joined the AoS fandom, when she found out Luke Mitchell was going to be in it, she attacked people and started drama. She lied and acted as if she owned Luke Mitchell and knew him personally. She stopped as soon as she realised people weren’t on her side. They realised straight away what she’s like.
Then we get to a really hypocritical series of caps, taken from twitter, of her attacking a Lincoln fan for not liking skyeward. This wasn’t just any fan though. This was a trans teen who at the time had only just turned 18. She mocked someone nearly 8 years younger than her and told them to grow up.
Someone really needs to listen to her own advice.
Lindsay deleted most of her tweets after this. It’s strange how she attacked a person for saying what she’s said from the moment she joined the fandom. “They can have their opinions” and “you don’t speak for the static quake shippers” are two things Lindsay really needs to learn before she starts preaching to the kids.
So here it is. Enough links to keep you busy, all with proof to back up that Lindsay is a bully.
Update:
Lindsay hasn’t stopped lying, bullying and just generally being a terrible person, so here’s more proof.
She tried to take advantage of 2 deaths. In both cases it was clear she was lying. Lindsay only seemed to care when it gave her an excuse to attack people, even the local police. Within 3 hours of finding out about the nature of a “close friend’s” death, Lindsay was over on Instagram with a silly selfie and acting like it had never happened.
She made a “joke” about the Zika Virus. This was inappropriate and unnecessary. There are no excuses for saying an obviously offensive thing.
Now we come to Lindsay’s latest round of skyeward hate. The antiskyeward posts linked in my original post, and her arguing over other ships, clearly weren’t one-offs.
It started with her purposely singling out and taking a screencap of two skyeward shippers, who asked the aos instagram for a picture of Luke Mitchell, Brett Dalton and Chloe Bennet. More specifically, they asked Luke Mitchell for the picture. Lindsay didn’t like that.
Then she tried to belittle and lied to a skyeward shipper who was trying to defend the people Lindsay’s bullied. She pretended she didn’t have a known past of attacking skyeward shippers.
It ended with Lindsay accusing the person defending skyeward shippers of harassment. She doesn’t seem to realise that not liking what a person is saying does not mean they’re harassing you.
Here’s a link to the whole twitter conversation, so Lindsay can’t argue only one side has been shown.
There’s also Lindsay’s whitewashing past with a canon Harry Potter character:
That character, Sinistra, was turned into an OC when Lindsay got told off for choosing a white FC. Even though the actress seen playing her in the film is black. She still attempts to RP that character.
If that wasn’t bad by itself, her excuse for whitewashing dismissed it and the film’s problematic actions in choosing white actresses. If they can be racist, so can she.
Most recently, Lindsay took a picture of a man without his permission so she could post it on her RP blog and make fun of him for his height. That kind of behaviour in public is wrong and immature. Taking a picture to post online, so that other people can join her in laughing at him, is even worse.
She didn’t like it when @omgfusiliers and @damarshallmallows did the same to her to show her that kind of post isn’t okay or funny.
She decided to report the original post to tumblr by lying.
The point of those posts went right over Lindsay’s head. What she did to that man wasn’t nice. She displayed a clear double-standard when it comes to what she thinks she can do. It’s okay for her to mock a stranger for his height, but she whined when her own height was pointed out.
Committing perjury on a Sunday?
The above is in GMT time. In EST, the time is 8:12am, the same time I received an email from tumblr containing the following:
Timeline of Events:
I posted the post in question on March 5th, 2016 at 11:13:59 pm EST.
Tumblr checked the post url and emailed me your false copyright claim at 8:12 am EST on March 6th, 2016.
The post in question had been up a one minute less than 9 hours.
Yet you claimed you emailed them about three times prior? Lies.
About your false DCMA claim:
The photo in question belongs to hercampus.com as part of their article about you, which was properly sourced by me.
In fact, linking to said article brings up the same exact picture using tumblr’s link post feature as proven by another blog on this site.
You do not own that photo. You even admit that you gave that photo to hercapmus.com. It is now theirs, not yours.
Tumblr’s DCMA complaint form is very clear about what you are swearing to: https://www.tumblr.com/dmca
You blatantly lied saying that 3 blogs are all the same blog:
DYKAC is a blog that is not owned by me and had not reblogged the post in question.
I do own lindsayfussell and omgfusiliers. They are not the same blog, however, which brings me to my next point.
You are the blog owner for homosvperior and claim to be a person named James.
James is a person you met in real life. You stole his name and identity to impersonate him on tumblr and facebook, just like you did to Ziya on foundasaw. http://lindsayfussell.tumblr.com/tagged/homosvperior
TL;DR: You lied to tumblr: you did not report that photo post 3 other times; you do not own that photo; you are not the copyright holder for that photo; and the 3 blogs you listed are not all the same blog. You will tell any lie to anyone to get your way, even when it’s clear that doing so is illegal.
Awww, she thinks we’re the same person. I’m offended she’s confusing us with herself, though. She’s the one that creates blogs to pretend to be other people, then threatens people with an imaginary lawyer. She doesn’t care about breaking the law. Now we can add copyright infringement onto her list of misdeeds. It goes well with the perjury, identity theft and “lawyer” threat.
It’s fucked up how it’s okay for her to take and post a photo of someone who she didn’t even ask to photograph, then say nasty things about them, but use a public photo of her with the same exact words and she goes crying and telling lies to tumblr. I think she really needs parental supervision and mental healthcare.
This is our biggest issue today with what has transpired - that Lindsay felt it was her right and privilege to take a photo of a man and post it on a role play blog on tumblr making fun of him and calling him names because of his height. The post is still up. She doesn’t even have the intelligence to realise why @omgfusiliers posted what they posted.
Lindsay cried for 6 months when we stated facts about her appearance one time, yet she thinks what she does is okay.
It's not okay to take photos of people without permission. It’s not okay to post them on tumblr. It’s not okay to bully people about their height. It’s not okay to call strangers "mother fucker”.
Lindsay's a bully, and so are her friends who liked the post:

We think @omgfusiliers did it best because they used an objective source, sourced it and effectively used parody of Lindsay’s bad behavior to point out what a bitch she was to take a photo of an unsuspecting person and post it with nasty, bullying commentary on his appearance in addition to calling him a “mother fucker”.
Lindsay must have agreed @omgfusiliers did it best as well since she reported it to tumblr immediately. Not your photo, girly. Not your property. Not your concern. You’re meant to have @omgfusiliers blocked, not be following that blog like it’s your celebrity psychotic crush, Luke Mitchell.

Ahhh, you are so manipulative.
1. We aren’t just talking about tumblr, as your misdeeds did not begin here, nor have they ended.
2. You haven’t rped tellemanca? Really? A character that you made in the HP fandom that is older than the ones you named.
3. You’ve rped Draco and a bunch of other HP characters.
4. You’re a damn liar. Period.
5. Return to your sewer now.
When it comes to either believing Lindsay, or believing the dozens of people that have spoken out against her, I’d put my money on the latter. Why would people lie about her whitewashing? Why would so many people lie about her bullying?
Her choice of wording in her post is very telling. No one said this happened on tumblr, yet she very specifically only referred to her tumblr RP and even that was a lie. The list of characters she claims to have RPed changes every time she brings it up. Lindsay forgets that people actually remember her RPing on tellemanca. Just like they remember her RPing Draco and Sinistra. To tell people that they have the wrong Lindsay, that their memories are wrong, is gaslighting. It’s a form of abuse to patronise people and make them question their own memories.
While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about Alejandra, since Lindsay very conveniently decided not to mention the comments made about that OC. It was very clearly stated, that the whitewashed Sinistra eventually became Lindsay’s whitewashed OC, Alejandra. That’s an OC Lindsay still RPs. There’s absolutely no doubt that everyone remembers the right Lindsay.
“Insults ceasing towards me whitewashing” doesn’t make sense either. That means she wants us to stop “insulting” her whitewashing, which I have no intention of stopping considering it’s racist and she’s clearly not remorseful. Unless that’s what she really meant and she wants us to stop bringing it up. She even reblogged a couple of promos with POC characters to try and cover the fact she’s racist. I hope she realises the old “I can’t be racist I have a black friend” cliché doesn’t actually mean she’s not racist.
Aw, Hag. You just got schooled again. Stop whitewashing, being racist and lying about what you do.
I believe it's Nico Viridian that you mean as her OC in the HP fandom that she left out. Cas/tellemanca is one of her self-insert OCs for TTP. However, every character she pretends to write she gives a HP verse if they are not HP based. Lindsay has definitely whitewashed multiple characters from a variety of fandoms.
Lindsay, are you aware that twitter tags don’t work the same as tumblr tags? Tagging something doesn’t stop people from seeing it. There is no tumblr saviour on twitter, dear. It took you two days to think up that patronising response, surely that should have been long enough for you to realise you’re in the wrong and should stay quiet.
How many times do you need to be told to leave skyeward shippers alone? We get it, you hate Daisy being shipped with anyone but Lincoln. That doesn’t mean you can attack other fans. People aren’t going to agree with you on everything. That’s life, or “adulting” as you call it. Learn to accept that and know when it’s best to shut up and leave people alone.
You know when and where you’ve harassed other skyeward shippers, Lindsay. Don’t lie and play innocent. You went from being rude and patronising to “have a nice day” because you realised people know how bad you are.
For anyone interested, here’s a more in depth post with proof that these “antiskyeward” tweets aren’t a one-off.
One of many tweets from Lindsay today. The instagram link goes to this screencap:
Why do you hate skyeward and their shippers, Lindsay? All those fans asked for was a picture of Brett, Luke and Chloe. He was already posting pictures of the cast. That was his own choice. There’s absolutely no harm in fans making requests for more. Luke Mitchell is on that instagram to upload pictures, after all. It’s all for fun. As an adult, Luke will understand that and doesn’t need an immature 26 year old making multiple tweets against other AoS fans, under the guise that she’s somehow defending him. How he responds is up to him, but we can guarantee that if he did respond he wouldn’t rant and get angry. That’s ridiculous. These are characters. It’s not real. That fan even used the word “pretending”. Do you understand that?
Let me just remind everyone that after myself and @omgfusiliers called you out for constantly attacking skyeward shippers, from the moment you joined the AoS fandom, you went through a brief phase of pretending you shipped Daisy/Lincoln/Ward. Now that’s over, I guess you’re back to being your usual controlling self. So, for everyone else, here’s a really big post of all the other times Lindsay’s attacked people and lied.
May I suggest in the future that you leave other shippers alone, Lindsay. Stop being controlling. Stop whining about people who don’t ship what you ship. If people want to ship Daisy with Ward, or anyone else, they can. You have no say in that. You don’t get to stop people talking about it or asking the cast and crew about it. Most importantly, you aren’t the only fan Luke Mitchell receives messages from. You don’t get to police who messages him. You don’t own him.
Since Lindsay’s in the habit of lying when we bring up her hatred of skyeward, and to show this has been going on for a while, here’s some more links:

http://lindsayfussell.tumblr.com/post/115522158226/davinamarshall-lindsay-did-you-seriously-tweet
Those are just a few examples of how Lindsay, as a brand new fan to AoS following Luke Mitchell’s casting, made up drama. There was no reason to “protect” Luke. She kept lying about there being hate in Luke’s tag and accused the skyeward shippers of being hateful to her. There is no evidence at all of skyeward shippers approaching Lindsay in any way. Unsurprisingly, most seem to avoid her if they can, but here are just a couple of examples of Lindsay attacking skyeward shippers.

If you use a tutorial to learn a skill is it theft to use that coding in commissions? Do you feel it’s unfair I ask for payment in advance? Do I have my own style or does it feel like I try to mimic what’s done by others?
Using a tutorial to build your skills is fine, but taking coding from it isn’t building your skills. It’s wrong to use a free tutorial and then charge others for it. It’s a crime called “conversion.” It’s also plagiarism. You can’t take work from somewhere else and then expect other people to pay you for it. You didn’t write it. You’re meant to learn from it and then write your own. When you ask someone to pay, they are paying for your work and your time in making that product. The product isn’t yours. You shouldn’t get paid for work you have stolen from someone else.
It’s illegal to ask for advance payment for services that have not yet been performed. So… it’s not unfair to ask for payment in advance, it’s illegal. This has been pointed out already. I don’t know why you confused the word “illegal” with “unfair.”
You can’t have your own style when you are using other people’s codes. It’s not “mimicry” to take someone else’s work, claim you wrote it, and then get people to pay you for it. It’s illegal. Selling stolen code isn’t a style, either. Your own theme is a jumble of coding made by others that you’ve just edited, and by edited I mean you removed the original credits. You don’t even have your own style on your own blog.
In conclusion, stop trying to rationalise your theft.
About Amber
I’ve had a super busy weekend, but I have had a look at the lies that Amber posted. We all know this wasn’t a year ago that we’re talking about, and we all know she’s a track record of lying. If this is a hobby for her, then it is a con/ People don’t ask you to pay them money for their hobbies. That’s bullshit, just like every single sentence she wrote accusing others of sending her hate and attacking her. She must have been looking in a mirror when she wrote those lies.
With that said, I’ll publish anything anyone wants to send in about the matter. I will block urls, take anons, whatever. There is absolutely no way that Amber should have the last word and make herself look like the victim.
Self-victimisation seems to be a common tactic when it comes to these bullies and cons. It’s hard to distrust and stay mad at someone who’s apparently been through so much, isn’t it? Amber’s tried this before, but what she doesn’t mention in her very extensive post is why she’s getting people to pay her for work that she’s stolen.
omgfusiliers made a great point. No one gets paid for their hobby. A hobby is something people do for fun. It becomes work when you start expecting people to pay you, and it isn’t fun when you create a negative environment for those around you.
The thing with flurriies seemed questionable since it almost looked like she pushed everything onto Lydia just because it was conevnient as people already hated Lydia at that point. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way & I've seen some of her theme ideas resembling a lot of other theme maker's. Plus, when she was criticized for not having her themes fit people's screen she kind of went 'well these people's don't either' instead of improving so :|| obviously I don't follow her but still
When davinamarshall called out that group for selling stolen code, all of them were as guilty as the others. Jessica is bad about stealing, anyway. She was run out of the Marvel fandom for being a plagiarizing brat. That fandom warned others about her, but for some reason (maybe the 13 year olds that she rps with don’t know better?), she’s still on tumblr weaving her lies, begging for money and selling things that don’t belong to her.
I’d be embarrassed to show my face on tumblr after all the things she’s been caught doing. Keep in mind, she only admits to things she’s specifically called out on with proof. There’s loads more she hasn’t been called out for, and she hasn’t stopped doing any of them.
Tumblr rp is such a small community, it’s hard to get away from people, even if you don’t follow and block them. That’s the nature of the beast of a social microblogging site. We can use that to our advantage by making it clear and well-known what cons are being used. Maybe we need a reputation tag for these people so others can check it before following or paying them. Many forums use a system like that.
i though the thing with flurriies has been fixed. the codes she got were from someone who stole them. it wasn't anything on her, plus she gives credit to people from the parts of code she has from them. if people want to take commissions from devilout and flurriies then i don't see why it's so bad. what do you have against them.
The thing with Jessica is a lot more than just stolen codes. Jessica helps herself to anything she wants, from yt videos, audio, code, writing, art, icons, etc. Perhaps you’ve missed the bigger picture as to what she does and has done? Her latest schtick is admitting she’s a pos thief, but hey she’s admitted it, so leave her alone. She pretends she’s stopped, but she has not. That’s not how life works. If you say you are sorry, you should stop what you were doing, not get better at hiding it.
At this point, it’s ludicrous to pretend Jessica has cleaned up her act, and Amber isn’t Reece. Selling someone else’s code is wrong. It is stealing. It is something that almost all of those developers have stated they do not want done. Those codes are not to be used as base codes. They are not to be sold. Period. The people who deserve to be paid for those codes are the actual developers, not the thieves who are selling code that was never meant to be sold.
If you don’t see a problem with people stealing from others, then selling it for their own gain, I can’t help you. I’m here to help others who wish to make ethical and informed decisions and purchases. I suppose what I have against them is proof that they are thieves and liars. They are actively conning tumblr users out of their money. If you’re okay with that, feel free to go commission from them. No one is stopping you. Most of us are just going to talk badly about you and avoid you because you are supporting people we know are dealing in stolen goods and fake sob stories to get people to give them money.
I don't understand why code thieves like flurriies and devilout get so many re logs on their commissions?? like I know flurriies got burned but like I don't disagree with them and if devilout is lokin then I'm not surprised at all but like I agree, no one has to pay for a theme but if they want to they should give the money towards people who don't steal lmao like think herroyaldarkness or unseenmockingjay, I'm sure there's more but idk them
Jessica and Amber have something in common: They both con people with sob stories. Good people see them whining about how poor they are, and mistreated, and doing without, and they think well, I could help them and get a theme so they don’t feel like it’s charity. That’s exactly what cons do - they prey on good people’s natural human instincts.
It’s one thing to offer to make themes and actually code them yourself, and expect money for your time and talent. It’s quite another to steal codes, mesh them together in 20 minutes and pass them off as your own for a price. Jessica and Amber do it for money. Marie does it for followers and to be liked. Oh, yeah, by the way, Marie steals code as well. Not one of them can read, write or code from scratch. Why chance ending up with a security breach in your code? Or being in trouble for it being stolen? It’s better to go to trusted sources for your codes, icons, etc.
My advice is to check tags, reputations and how people are being about what they are selling. For instance, Amber is requiring up front payment. That’s illegal. Jessica makes code that doesn’t work most of the time. That’s because she’s stealing and cobbling things together she doesn’t understand. Be careful of people offering free things in order to drum up followers for themselves like Marie often does. If what is going on doesn’t feel right, or like a scam, it probably is a scam.
I know tumblr users like to be free with their personal information, but I don’t advise it. Don’t give your PayPal email address to anyone willy nilly. That is a link to you personally. Your name, address and phone number will be available to them thereafter, even if your credit and bank information are safe. Ask for credentials and references. People who are legit can happily provide them to you. Do not pay in full for any service until it is rendered. Make sure you find out your usage rights for anything you commission.
Tumblr has a theme garden, and those who wish to make themes can sell them there easily. Tumblr vets the developers in the theme garden. You are allowed to preview themes on your blog before you purchase them as well. Theme support is also available from those developers.
If you know someone who is offering commissions, you like their work and you trust them, please feel free to commission from them. (For example, can you trust someone who lies about their name, their blogs, their lifestyle, and has been proven to steal code?) It’s not uncommon for word of mouth to be an artist’s biggest source of patrons. If you’ve had a great experience with someone, let others know or offer a standing referral to your artist. In America, tipping your artist is also a great way to show your appreciation for their time and talent.
In the end, we all know: Caveat Emptor.
I don't follow devilout but like idk something about them always set me off but when I read they were lokin I kinda just :// how did y'all figure it out?
I’ve known for a long time. Since she made the account almost. She rps with Marie/showmaxster from her THG accounts for Peeta. I took a look at ‘her’ code and lol’d. She’s still meshing together other people’s codes and passing them off as her own. Funny that she sells stolen codes, yet her own theme isn’t made by her, isn’t it? She’s blocked this account now she knows I know who she is. I have a ton of information about who she is, how she’s been pretending to be ftm, and she’s still peddling stolen goods, but that’s all best for a callout post. She has a nasty incest blog as well. By incest, I mean incest, not fiction.
Definitely continue to trust your instincts about people on tumblr. You knew she was shady without all the proof.
I’m going to go ahead and advise everyone to avoid her. No one should be paying for theme codes anyway. Your theme isn’t essential to your RP and there are countless free themes for you all to choose from. Don’t give money to “Lokin”/Amber/devilout. All of her coding is stolen and not worth a single penny from any of you. She’s a con. That’s not to mention everything else she does.
PSA: Amber/Lokin
Amber/Lokin/Reece/Whatever s/he’s going by at the moment is currently conning people on her new blogs. Please be careful and aware of this user. S/he is not a safe person to be around, even online. In the recent past, she has been caught selling stolen theme codes, revealing the IP address of a minor, bullying other tumblr users, lying, and telling sob stories and threatening suicide to get people to give her money through paypal. S/he faked her suicide on February 19, 2015.
From all accounts, her behaviour has not changed at all - she just got new urls.
