some artwork for the kalons event <3
Jesus fucking christ i am BEGGING uma staff (kalons) to reroll or at least allow people to refuse designs they roll for because mirrormask does not deserve to roll 2 designs they clearly didn’t want, then go on to be a complete asshole about holding those random uncommon designs hostage unless you trade them $80 legendary MYOs. there’s no rule about not planning trades before cooldown is up but nobody does it because you didn’t even try to connect with the design. if any artists are reading this i hope they never get a breeding slot for the kalon in their “desperately want gone” trade folder that they actually “can’t trade immediately as they plan to breed them”. in fact just never give them anything again. fucking eww.
.
Kalons being mentioned reminded me of Keldines, which are literally just dogs that have scale growths. Also on chicken smoothie, and they’re both pretty similar. Especially on how hard it could be to get one, they’re like the Gucci of cs on there last time I was active on chicken smoothie
nothing in cs could ever compare to Gucci not even fucking close
chicken smoothie closed species just fucking suck bc due to a lot of the site rules (and the fact that a considerably large chunk of the community are minors due to the demographic of the site), it's hard for species staff, or artists within the community to monetize their designs for anything other than chickensmoothie currency or just outright giving away main adopts for free. and for some shitty reason the mere fact that these designs were given away "for free" (even tho you've probably paid irl money for them somewhere down the line like buying edit items, comming art, etc.) makes the owner/artist think they have some sort of special entitlement to the design.
the mindset is so fucking toxic that even if it WAS a custom the person rightfully paid for, they still have that selfish entitlement and that's where the shitty practices that chickensmoothie closed species are known for come from. the shitty thing is that people in those communities are so closed off from the bigger art community, so staff don't give a shit bc nobody's there to call them out, and very few community members don't know it's even wrong in the first place. the only reason why things are starting to change is bc one of the big chickensmoothie closed species (kalons) got hit with legal threats not once, but TWICE, for attempting to revoke designs that people have put hundreds of dollars into.
im so fuckign sorry for the rant but i'm irate and i still keep seeing people get into kalons bc of the "pretty" designs they saw on TH or some shit when the community is the worst one i've seen out of all the closed species i've been in (on chickensmoothie and off chickensmoothie)
someone needs to show them the outside world
(Kalons) There are closed species on Chicken Smoothie. I just gotta ask. What the FUCK is a Kalon? It is LITERALLY just a dog with weird scale-like growths on it's shoulders. Why are people so interested in it literally someone could make the exact same thing but named different and people would eat the species' ass like it's cake and icecream. What the FUCK is up with the Chicken Smoothie side of Closed Species
chicken smoothie's like a petri dish of all the things wrong with closed species
hiya, noticed that the xie lian, wei wuxian and shen qingqiu kals were privated but i dug up the masterlists for ya (or like... whatever's closest to the masterlist, bc kalons DON'T have a working masterlist for...whatever reason LOL)

two for one because they clearly dekudogged the guy he's shipped with in just about everything i found
https://toyhou.se/17052408.luo / https://toyhou.se/17085086.shen
.https://toyhou.se/15091684.xie-lian isn't available but judging by all the other shit it's definitely clear the reason
https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=4772833 are you telling me this shit is from chickensmoothie i spent time googling chinese yaoi just to find they've been dekudogged on chickensmoothie goddammit
eyo, the reason why the blacklist is so big is bc there was a group of ppl who made/ran a black market where people under-the-table traded/sold kalons to get around the shit trading rules LOL
the reason why they got caught was because one of the black market admins was stupid as shit and tried to sell a kalon to someone outside of the group, and the dude turned around and snitched to a staff member. when the admin got banned they threw a bitchfit about it in the server and were basically told (including another admin) that they were acting like a little baby about it and it was their fault for trying to do that especially since it was literally in the rules not to trade to people outside of the group. lmao.
i think what made it funnier to me at that time bc admin stupid had a kalon dekudog of galadriel from lotr, and they kept repeating over and over that "kalon staff can't take [galadriel] away from me she's literally my character" like okay claire, whatever lmao! as if galadriel was urs to begin with
also yeah dekudogs! they allow that, they're like an epidemic there. mainly myos but there have been like half a dozen dekudogs that were official adopts. i've seen a fuckton of bnha doggies, some animal crossing, a mew dekudog, and dekus from the arcana. oh and homestuck. im tired of it lol
anyways, back to the black market. the admin stupid's friend (who wasn't even in kals, idk why they were even there lol) got pissy at everyone for "mistreating their friend" (whatever the fuck that meant) and snitched on everyone in the server, but bc it took days for the owner to respond not everyone who was in the server made it to the blacklist and there was like 1 person who never got banned from the species server.
someone did try to threaten legal action against the owner (iirc, it was a cease and desist order) for revoking the blacklisted people's kalons, but the owner fucked off and played dirty by only letting C&D person keep their kals and everyone else's still got revoked. supposedly the revoked designs were to be readopted to the community but i have not seen any post about it, won't be surprised if the design ended up being gobbled by kalon staff lol. greedy fucking hoarders.
also yes, the owner wicc is a piece of shit. when the founder of the species (mintiature/skunkify, who is also an objectively terrible person but that's another story for another time) decided to sell kalons, wicc funded karmel's bids from behind the scenes in exchange for becoming co-owner without minti knowing, and then banned minti (and some of their friends) a year or so later. and wicc fucking HATED minti to hell and back, so naturally they got banned bc minti and their friends were doing prank calls and everyone blew tf up over it.
one of the other friends (capone) who got banned basically said sorry to wicc and then got unbanned later on. obviously ppl are like Wtf! why?? and then it turns out that the friend was dating wicc. okay then
cap was also a proshit and a lot of ppl didnt like him also bc he threw himself into drama a lot and if u went to their twitter there was just a bunch of nsfw of blatantly underaged bkdk. he also posted a lot of abo larp tweets concerning him and wicc (who was his alpha. or wahtever).
i hated typing that last part out. anyways!
so iirc, sales from the kalon shop are supposed to be split between minti, karm and wicc. and when minti got banned from the species im like 90% sure wicc stopped sending money to minti lol. i dont remember if it was explicitly stated, but yeah a lot of people speculated that wicc stopped sending money to minti.
and then karm steps down as co-owner from the species. LOL. that was kinda terrible bc after that wicc started doing the bundle sales that anon mentioned earlier, and you can literally TELL where it's going to, bc wicc would constantly post updates in the kalon server where he's going/what he's doing, and it's all just a bunch of inane stupid shit like going into road trips to "surprise visit" his stupid fucking boyfriend, BUYING A SNAKE DESPITE HAVING A LOT OF OTHER PETS THAT HE BARELY TAKES CARE OF, buying new substrate for his snake bc it was getting rashes or something, buying bnha merch, needing money to fix his car tire so he can go on another road trip with his bf...
oh and did i mention that was literally the only thing he was active in the species for at that point? bc it was, and it was shitty bc this was all happening in the weeks/months after the mass blacklisting and people were trying to void the kalons they were allowed to keep/transfer them out of the species (also a bunch of bullshit rules btw, but that's also another story) and people were trying to contact wicc to get him to recant the revoking before they escalated to legal action, but wicc literally admitted that he didn't open the message. wow. A+ professionalism. this man is getting hundreds of dollars in myo/item sales and he doesn't pay his artists, doesn't have a masterlist for the species, DOESN'T EVEN MAKE DESIGNS FOR HIS OWN SPECIES, and only shows up to sell stupid bundle boxes to fund his stupid financial choices.
idk, kals as a whole is honestly one of the worst species you could ever get into. mods and artists so far up their own ass they don't give a fuck about you unless you're an a-grade bootlicker, cliques within cliques within cliques within the staff, artists who think they're god's gift to mankind bc they draw a bunch of objectively pretty designs for free (if you hate drawing free designs so much then why are you still in staff??). an owner that was barely present despite earning hundreds in slot/item sales (also given the fact that this is all literally happening on a small site that barely anyone has heard of, where a majority of the userbase are minors, this is a big fucking deal) and only showed up to leech off your money and sell shop bundles to fund his stupid financial decisions.....the pretty designs aren't worth it.
i can't even read this much but sounds like you had a lot to say
