Ah… just a fair warning, folks, this account on Instagram is not me.
Though, I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this? Just… given they’re using my character/character name, this honestly makes me uncomfortable, especially if someone gets the impression that this is me.
I think I would better appreciate if this weren’t a thing, but.. ugh, I’m really about done with all of this. <:x></:x>
*tries to keep brash/rude statements to a minimum* Guys…really? Thats just flat out rude. Stop trying to be someone you’re not just to get attention. It makes you look stupid. Just stop. All -the real- Orlando wants to do is draw art cause thats what she likes to. This just shows that whoever creates these copy accounts is prone to getting arrested for identity theft in their future. Just…UGH! Stop pestering these artists. Please!
Again, forgive me Orla for always being so bold when stuff like this happens. I just get uber defensive when folks do disrespectful crap to my friends. ^^;
Oh no apologies necessary, Clawy! If anything, it does make me pretty frustrated when this sort of thing happens to friends, much less anyone.
Honestly, if this account just came off as something that was reposting my art to share it, and even properly credited where each piece came from (as there are a few in there that I didn’t even draw/finish off. That including the avatar, which was made by the wonderful artist Tairu Panda, and made as a commission.)
But just right off the bat, the description of the profile includes ‘It’s me’, and that does not bode well with me. And if anyone got the impression that this was me, I really don’t want them to be fooled in case this person says something that I would not say. <:X
Really, guys, this is not a thing that you do to anyone. Not only is it disrespectful, but just plain uncomfortable that you try to pass yourself off as someone else.
Again, thank you Clawy. <3

Heh, I had a feeling that’s what that does. <:)
Only reason I actually even found out about this account was that they had followed me. The fact they were using my alias and a picture of my character already told me something wasn’t right, and… yeah.

No apologies necessary, Seg’! You’re not to blame! And this unfortunately happens to many artists- heck, many folks in general. All we can do is try to resolve them. :)
And gosh, you don’t have to do that! I wouldn’t want folks to feel like they 'have’ to do things for me when things like this happen. <:)
By all means, not saying you can’t! Feel more than free to, if you’d like! But it’s not an obligation to me. I do appreciate the thought in any case, thank yo so much. <3
