ocean and adrienne's 'history' (or lack thereof)

hello! for those of you who might not know me, i'm brin. i was a moderator in the official isat server for a little over a year (from january 2024 to march 2025); me and ocean were the first two brought on after the first mods decided to grab some help. ocean is also my friend, and we speak very regularly.

by nature of my position i have quite a bit more context than the majority of people in the fandom. i cannot speak to anything adrienne is thinking here (nor will i speculate), and i am not going to give any private details, whether it is in private or otherwise. so don't ask for that please. :P but i can say that i've seen everything i'm going to be talking about here, and a lot more besides.

the reason i'm making this post is because i've seen a lot of people theorizing, especially after adrienne's vague reply, that ocean and adrienne might have some history that everyone else is just unaware of, with, often, the implication that ocean may have been negative towards adrienne in private. ocean is an incredibly kind, sweet person who's done nothing but care for this game and its fandom and it really sucks to see that xe are having to deal not only with suddenly being ripped from a fandom that she's given years and so much of her heart to, but being doubted by people who fully admit they do not have the whole story but all the same assume he must be in the wrong. i asked ocean if it'd be okay to clarify a few things (after all, i don't want to speak for her, of course), and i've been given permission.

in any case, here are the facts as i know them:

in march of 2022, ocean joined the isat server. it was much much smaller then, and adrienne was more active, so they spoke now and then in that capacity. (i wasn't there for this--i joined the server in nov 2023--but in the process of making my spreadsheet documenting everything adrienne had said about the game on social media, i saw all of adrienne's posts in the server, and ocean was frequently there at the same time as an active fan.) they didn't have any private interactions at this point.

in january of 2024, ocean is made a moderator; they continue to be a moderator from then until march of 2025. i know of three, and only three, DMs between them during this time period. all of them had to do with important moderation-related concerns and were worded politely. in the server mod chats they had the very occasional limited but professional interaction, including the one they've mentioned in 2024 in which we both notified her that the mirror picture standee's colors were off.

when ocean quit being a moderator in march 2025, xe also left the server. she isn't and wasn't discord friends with adrienne, and they didn't have any shared servers when ocean left, so after that point ocean had no private way of contacting adrienne other than the ones open to any fan.

adrienne usually has asks closed. not that ocean is the sort to send harassing asks anyway, but even if he was, mechanically it wouldn't really be an option.

ocean has publicly interacted with adrienne three times from then on: in february of this year, when the keychains were announced, ocean replied to the post (with an @ to adrienne) letting her know that mira's skin on the keychain seemed to be a bit too light. then, a couple days ago, as we know: ocean makes a post about the whitewashing issue, @ ing adrienne (in case tumblr had eaten the mention from february). adrienne makes a vaguely worded post on the matter; ocean reblogs from them, thanking her for talking to yetee and adding a link to xer original post for context because people were confused in the notes. to one person in particular saying they thought the post was a joke because isat is in grayscale, ocean clarified, and is blocked immediately thereafter.

as far as interactions go, that should be the extent of it. in terms of things that could, theoretically, be construed as negativity, ocean does and always has been vocal as a fan of color about issues of race and racism within the fandom (something that has been a big issue long prior to this point, and something which frankly imo is a labor they provided to the fandom that she shouldn't have needed to provide). on occasion, she would express feelings about things within the game that they wish were different--for example, that sif had been visibly nonwhite in the game, because as it stands the fandom draws him very white; or that their background as a person of color had not been spoken about as though it was optional.

none of these tagged adrienne in any capacity, and xe were in my opinion always very polite and understanding of adrienne's circumstances and feelings even speaking privately. other fans have spoken about the same issues and adrienne has expressed understanding and gratitude for them expressing their thoughts (for example, here). ocean was incredibly passionate about the game and about its characters of color and loved them dearly and was always very clear about that. other fans have also brought up whitewashing before (with no response) as well as other issues with merch (with a response) and there were no issues at this point.

again, i cannot and will not speculate on what adrienne's motivations were here--what posts of oceans they saw, what she thought of them, and her thoughts in any regard around this issue are all fully beyond my ability and right to say anything about. i just really needed people to know that there aren't huge sordid secrets here. ocean's a wonderful, brave, kind person who put her heart and soul and time and effort into this fandom and never had any idea that adrienne may have had any issues with anything xe were saying or doing--in my opinion, reasonably so; certainly no issues were ever communicated prior to this point in the limited interactions they had.

in any case. i very much understand the confusion and hurt here. it's not about me, but i'm pretty fucking poleaxed by this situation too. but i hope in all of this we can just be understanding of ocean's pain, being removed so suddenly and without warning from something he loved so much. your opinions on what adrienne did are your own, but please, please be certain to respect ocean in the process. the fact is that adrienne's blog isn't just their personal but also in stars and time's official mouthpiece, and the official blog removing xer access without any apparent rhyme or reason is something that is i think very reasonable for ocean to be hurt by even if you do not personally get it or think there is a reason from adrienne that you can accept. i am not at all saying in the midst of all this that anyone needs to think that adrienne is some cartoon villain here, and i do not want adrienne alone at the end of all this. optimally, i just would hope that she too can understand why what they did caused ocean pain and would be willing to apologize for that pain regardless of the reasoning behind it.

thank you for your time and understanding and kindness towards ocean in advance! because they really fucking deserve it right now

Pro tip: blocking a black person for saying “hey your merch is getting whitewashed and I wish you weren’t vague regarding this because other people in the notes are genuinely getting confused and making light of the situation because of said wording” is not helping your case. Hello? How is that holding yourself accountable. In what way.

This is what I said regarding Adrienne’s response to her merch getting whitewashed:

This is because of different people in the notes making jokes, and assuming it to not be as serious or not specifically about whitewashing. I wanted to help clarify and was not meant to be hateful. Adrienne’s response was to block me and only me so that my post wouldn’t show up at all in the notes for other people. I wonder why that is:

This is not a cool response to have to someone politely asking you to not whitewash your black cast.

ISAT yetee merchandise has an ongoing issue with the visibly darker skinned characters of color getting lightened / whitewashed. (IMAGES AND EXPLANATION UNDER THE CUT)

I’m going to preface this with I’m giving both @insertdisc5 and the company yetee the benefit of the doubt because I am doubtful that this is with intentional malice, but it is a growing concern because this is a pattern that has been repeated multiple times across different products offered. Given how the (largely white) fandom space that’s curated online tends to ignore (at best) or perpetuate it directly at worst these harmful instances of characters getting their features erased … the last thing I expected was it happening in a official setting that was in *theory* looked over by the dev directly and approved. Given how the game writing makes the effort to represent the different characters and their culture in a way that felt respectful it felt, hurtful to say the least.

Many people in the fandom including myself have made posts directly commentating on this issue (that happens in fanart very commonly but now also in official merch), as well as emailed yetee and were essentially given the default (sorry, we can’t help at this time) regarding the products coming out lighter. In contrast the poster ( which is on the very same post as the whitewashed keychains and released at the exact same time as a bundle) the timing of it getting fixed for anatomical errors with the hands was handled the next day. When looking at the post I could see that there were plenty of tags, rbs and comments talking of the merch drop that happened on February 9-10 were people expressing their feelings regarding not wanting the characters to be whitewashed. Zero response.

The following photos given I’ve changed to pure grayscale solely so we can gage the values without getting distracted by red or blue tint from the photos. It goes as follows:

Now this isn’t to say that every single instance of isat merch of the characters were all lightened. Some of them like metal pins of the entire group are on model:

And even with the case of the poster or the notecard that came with the mirror photo, the skintones while not completely accurate are at least clear that both Bonnie and mirabelle werent lightened at all and are darker than their canon in game sprites. I’d rather have the characters be a tad darker than average than lightened or having features removed:

It’s clear that rather than the artist themselves of the merch doing the whitewashing, it’s due to whatever printer yetee has making the skintones far lighter than it should and that’s a problem. It’s misrepresenting the characters as well as the artists who worked hard to actually be on model to begin with. To me the solution is if you know the printer will print values lighter, you need to make the scans darker in post before delivery to compensate. Actually do multiple tests in person to check for consistency and quality instead of just rely on the display photo and hoping for the best.

I want everyone in this community ( especially those of color like myself) to feel represented and safe in the fandom space we’re in. I know some people have expressed fear of criticizing anything related to the game, because they didn’t want to come across as mean spirited or ruining the vibes or afraid of being on the receiving backlash/ hate from people when expressing anything less then 100% positive of a popular creator of work, but I didn’t want this to just get buried and forgotten or go unaddressed. If it’s not talked about and given the chance to fix it properly, we all just end up making the same mistakes over and over, become complacent and then slowly the environment of the space isn’t welcoming as it used to be. Again, to be clear this isn’t meant to be hate for hates sake or bad faith criticism. I say this with nothing but love as a fan for this games story, characters and all the lovely folks I’ve met while playing.

Im gonna be honest here the difference in your writing from time to time makes me nervous youre using chatgpt and I really hope im wrong

????????? I actually can't tell if this is a joke or not. of course I don't fucking use ai are you insane

[thecorruption]

sorry but the fact you (the asker) would accuse my friend of using ai is actually fucking abhorrent. ive seen my friend pour actual days, weeks, months, into this fic for it to be perfect and the fact you think they're just using ai just because some writing changes is actually the stupidest thing ive ever heard. its called going on a hiatus and not writing for a little bit before getting back into the swing of things. don't listen to them bee, your writing is amazing <3333

Rating Seal Emojis

Somewhat of a tired format but i still enjoy it so i decided to do one myself?

These sweet thangs don't have much history, as the seal emoji was only added in 2021, but there's still enough to go around so let's go.

Apple iOS

Looks to be evocative of a really grey baby seal. It's quite sweet but i dont like that it has shoulders. 7/10

Google Android

Actually biased, but this is easily one of the cutest. I can excuse the undefined flippers. 10/10

Samsung 2.5

Like trying to redraw the Google emoji from memory. The features seem weirdly disconnected from each other. 5/10

Samsung 6.0

They went back, and decided it needed to be cuter, which they overdid, but who's to say it didn't work? 100% baby thing. Hind flippers are way small though 7/10

Windows 11 2021

Feels more evocative of a baby harp seal than the other ones. The tail makes what i can only describe as a "Seal Bident" and the front flippers are closest to the sleeves of a wavy blouse, but above all, it's JOYFUL and y'know what, i love the energy 9/10

Windows 11 November Update

...and then this came in. There's nothing wrong with this one per se but just compare the previous one! They took its joy and made it some kind of undefined mystery species. 5/10

Microsoft 3D Fluent

It's just the last one, but in 3D. Purple is a pretty novel color to shade a seal with but it doesn't add much, and the definition 3Dness gives it makes it feel weirder. 5/10

WhatsApp

"A seal is just like if you put a dog head on a fish, right?" I can't find a single species of phocid that has this coloration making me think they found an Australian sea lion and went "good enough". Ironically, this one also has the most accurate pose and flipper detail, so it's kind of a net zero. 7/10

Twitter

Sea lion! The tail is a hand and while usually that could be fun and interesting this emoji is going for accuracy and it just makes that fall apart a little bit. 8/10

Facebook

Standing tall and proud! This emoji, while recognizing how the hind flippers are placed, seems to forget the tail resulting in Smooth Barbie Crotch for seals. Front flippers bend real weird too. 8/10

[sealsdaily]

Huawei

Back with the damn seal shoulders! What can i say, it's basically the Apple seal in a banana pose. 7/10

Telegram (Animated Apple)

Mother help me, it's gotten worse. I like the bounce of it all, but that seals shoulder is LONG dislocated. No seal can move front flippers like that. 4/10

Google Animated

It should be fine. It's a nice spin on my favorite. But its face is so disconcertingly flat. Please 5/10

Microsoft 3D Animated

Wiggle that thing around and call it a day? Sure. It doesn't even look alive and it brings out EVEN more of the weirdness of the original. I had to watch it loop 20 times before realising it's supposed to be doing some belly slapping. 3/10

Twitter Emoji Stickers

Okay, cute, it's a young harbor seal! Front flipper bends weird but I'm sure it's just the angle? Once again, WHERE is the tail. 6/10

JoyPixels 6.0

Humanlike eyes? Ballerina pose? The shapes just don't flow. No idea what they were thinking 4/10

JoyPixels 8.0

Improvement! It's pretty cute. Has issues many other emojis do though. 7/10

Toss Face

They couldn't decide between phocid and otariid so they ended up doing some kind of weird mix of both. Dog head again. 5/10

Playstation

I'm sure it'd be charming if it wasn't 5 pixels tall. Just a smoother Twitter sea lion otherwise. 8/10

Noto Emoji Font

Google seal but minimalistic. Its face is more catlike now which isn't bad but it's a loss for accuracy. 9/10

[sealsdaily]

OpenMoji

I did end up liking the minimalistic approach here. It's kind of sea lion selkie coded. 10/10

Icons8

Everything that could go wrong here has gone wrong. It's just Wrong. All the seal emojis have big heads, but this one is EXCEEDINGLY so. I know i complained about shoulders, but the flippers now end up following SpongeBob fin logic and that's not great either. The hind flippers are nothing. They're just nothing. 0/10

Emojipedia Sample

This is an incredibly uncomfortable dude in a seal costume trying to get out of it -1/10

[twtrout]

i love when seals become blobs
