HUH? what happened with tippen??? I don't mean to sound accusatory it's just that we've been moots for a while and I've never heard about this before

There was drama between me (@mimdecisive) and Tippen like 2 years ago, namely bc the way she wrote Castaspella in some of her fics was misogynistic. (Described her voice as shrill, portrayed her as over-emotional and irrational, the only thing she and Angella could agree on was that they like Bow, a boy, etc. all of these are like, classically sexist things to write female characters as.)

anyway, some time later, I posted some Crew-Ra art on this blog because I saved it for references and wanted to clear out my camera roll. Only thing is, my internet was terrible at the time— I couldn’t check the sources, so I couldn’t provide credit at the time because they weren’t like, watermarked.

As soon as my internet was better, I did obviously go through all the Crew-Ra’s websites to assign names to pictures, of course, but people made a really big deal out of it. I wasn’t claiming they were mine or anything, obviously— just wanted to post them so artists could have easy access, especially because some of the Crew-Ra’s websites are sooooo slow.

Mountain out of a molehill, anyway. Tippen included— but the weird part, is, Tippen accused me of stealing edits.

additionally, I saw some tags from the blog then named Alysurr who I think has a different name now? Which implied I stole from them, I think??? They didn’t cite any sources for these accusations, btw. No screenshots or nothing. I @‘d Tippen to ask wtf that meant, but I think she had me blocked at the time and, anyway, didn’t seem to want to explain her accusations. I’m 100% positive I didn’t steal shit, though, and Tippen didn’t provide any receipts to justify the accusation.

2 years later, I happened to see my old post talking about it and I’m reminded that hey, I literally never got closure to that baseless claim. Like, Tippen has a pretty big following, I’m pretty sure— so making a claim about a smaller blog without any evidence of edit theft?

it’s kind of like just trusting your audience (and I was legit harassed by Tippen’s fans for calling out how her portrayal of Casta made me uncomfortable) won’t look into it and just believe the claim.

I’m not looking to start drama or anything, obviously, I just think that it’s insane and I’m still like ??? lotta audacity to just lie.

y’know, I never did get closure on tippenfunkaport accusing me of “stealing edits” (??? What), and though this blog isn’t active anymore and that was almost 2 years ago, I want to clarify:

this blog has never and will never steal edits of the show. All the pictures I post here come directly from the show itself or from official concept art. This blog obviously does not claim to own or have produced these images in any way.

the purpose of this blog is to provide art references to artists in the She-Ra fandom, and I hope they are helpful.

sometimes I think that this blog isn’t entirely necessary anymore— back when I started it over a year ago, there weren’t any active SPOP reference blogs so it was hard to find all the art references you needed. I’m not sure if that’s changed or not, but as I slowly move away from She-Ra (and towards technical difficulties in taking screenshots) a lot of other people do, too.
