Community PSA [since the other blog was too chickenshit]

Dear Community, I have a PSA for you.  It has been said previously that myself (Cryogenic/Wicced!Witch), Sammish (aka Sydney), and Mintiature (aka Bella) are a “trio” meaning a group of people so close and tight knit that we were considered intimidating and almost tyrannical when we agreed upon things. I am here to dispel that idea for there are a lot of things that go on behind closed doors that you do not see. Recently there has been a falling out between the three of us, you see, as we have learned, Bella is not the sweet innocent loving little thing that so many people try to make her out to be. I know, I know, I once thought the same and I have come to her aid and defended her until I was blue in the face. Now, I would like you to know before you read further that I have no feeling towards Bella anymore, I do not hate her, I do not like her. Bella is not worth any sort of emotion or reaction from me.  So to start us off, lets all start with Sammi and her leaving the community. This was completely unnecessary and easy to avoid. However there was a bit of discourse between some staff over the idea for 1,000. Myself and Sammi proposed the idea to the staff in the beginning that 1,000 would actually be two Kals themed Nightmare and Daydream and would have separate competitions. Now you could have tried out for both designs as one Kalon, could have tried out for one or the other, tried out for both as separate characters, or even tried out with a partner!! A lot of this was to be left up to the community and the eventual winner(s) to give an added oomphf to such a massive milestone. When it was made known that there had been a mix up with the idea and that staff were taking it in a way that it was not intended (though there had been a very clear vote that ended in our idea winning out) we (me and Sammi) went to Bella to try and sort it out before causing a scene or anything in the staff. Bella then told us that she could not help us and that she didn’t agree with our idea and so instead of letting us bring it up to staff to have a discussion, like staff is suppose to do, she went to staff and just told them that they would not be using the idea that had been developed as myself and Sammi had thrown a fit and didn’t want it used. While it was true that we didn’t want the original idea used if not the way it was suppose to we were open for discussion and debate, just like anyone is. However that is not what happened. Instead we were attacked by several members of staff and told that we were stupid for having any sort of feeling over an idea that we had no copy-right on and that we needed to get over ourselves. Now this is not so life shattering as not everyone gets their way, the issue arose when Bella then started treating Sammi and me like we were nothing to her, not friends, not acquaintances, not even normal community members. Some would say that it was very obvious that Bella was “biased” toward myself and Sammi but I would like to propose that she was just as, if not more, biased /against/ us. There were several times where we would all argue and debate about things behind closed doors before going public with a unified idea or thought. After a few days of this action I confronted Bella about how she was treating the woman who was suppose to be her best friend. The woman that moved across state and dropped everything to be by her. I was met with an argument of how she had done no such thing and had not hurt Sammi in any way despite the fact I knew better as I had actually taken the time to speak to and understand Sammi’s feelings. The day after said agreement over Sammi I was removed from staff. Now when I asked what I had done to warrant it I was told I had caused too much tension in the staff to be able to fit into a group of people that were suppose to cooperate. I feel it should be known that even after the discourse about 1k myself and staff continued to talk and plan like normal, no hard feelings or tension present. If I was fired for said reason then there are several other staff members that should be fired on the spot for the same reason. In all reality I was fired for a personal conversation that happened between myself and Bella that had nothing to do with staff or my duties as staff or how i got along with staff. The conversation was not even a bad one where I did anything wrong but try to get her to talk about feelings. It has also come to my attention today that Bella either has been actively spreading or allowing others to spread a very nasty rumor about me that has no foundation at all. I have now, by someone I used to think of as my best friend and object of affection, been labeled an animal abuser. Now for many of you who know me this is absolutely absurd, but please, allow me to explain the situation. There are two complaints that I have heard that apparently supports her claim that I am an animal abuser. 1) The only food my animals eat is dog food. Keep in mind I have dogs, cats, and a ferret that eat said food. 2) I have taken kittens away from their mother too early and caused harm to the mother cat. Lets take this one at a time. 1) Yes, it is true, all the animals in my house do indeed eat dog food. However, the lie and fault in this lies in the fact that that is not the only food available to said animals. My cats have a stack of food kept in an open cabinet above their litter box that is out of reach of my dogs and ferret and the ferret has a stash of food kept in a little cubby in the laundry room or in the room that is specifically designated for her so that the dogs and cats can not get to it. The idea behind these is that the right species of pet is able to access the food that meets their nutritional needs without having it all eaten by the other animals. Now I can understand where perhaps Bella may have gotten the idea otherwise as she has been over to my house a few times and only ever seen the dog food, as it is the only one that is out in the open and easy for every one to see. However she has not asked me if there are other sources of food or what I do for the other two species. 2) Yes, it is true, I now have three six week old kittens in my custody. But once again Bella does not know the entire situation. These kittens were birthed by my aunt’s cat and as such I have known the mother cat all her life. Because of this I also know she is notorious for either weaning her kittens super early or just letting the kittens starve to death as she no longer wishes to nurse. But oh!! if that’s the case why didn’t I just let my aunt care for the kittens and not take them away? Well the simple answer is my aunt has three kids, one of which is just a few months old, and can not afford the expense of kitten milk replacer or the time it takes to feed them and potty them. So yes, I offered to take the kittens. Now originally we had planned for the kittens to be taken when they were fully weaned or once the mother stopped nursing. However at four weeks of age my aunt contacted me with the concern that the mother cat was moving the kittens around and had nested them under the neighbors porch. Now for those of you that don’t know me I live in Georgia, a place known for their rednecks that aren’t always the most animal friendly. after the second time of having the kittens under his porch the neighbor threatened to kill the kittens and the mother cat if it happened again. So yes, for the safety and well being of the kittens I took them home. This is not the first time I have fostered weaning kittens and so am very knowledgable in their care needs as well as having several months of Vet tech training under my belt. These kittens are happy, healthy, fat and loved and even have a vet appointment set up next week! Any of the you in the community Skype chat you have even seen them a few times! Do those kittens look abused to you ?? in conclusion, as an ex staff member and an ex friend I would like to warn everyone about Bella. She is a beautiful person sometimes and deserves all the best in the world, so long as it is done far away from me. She is smart, talented, and very kind when she wishes! However, please be careful as she is also very disloyal, amazing at lying to your face, and will turn on you at the flip of a dime. She has no compass of morals or judgement on those she should actually keep close, those she should trust, or those she should have nothing to do with. She uses others around her just as much as she allows herself to be used. With love for you all, Cryo/Wicced
