Ref for miles he’s REAL
Don't stop talking about them. We need to be their voice.

(sorry for the long post)
The same Astarion artwork continues to be stolen time and time again by unscrupulous shops (I've filed over 20 complaints, just on Etsy alone). One particular independent shop refuses to remove the items using my artwork, ignores my messages, and deletes all my comments warning buyers.
Here's the specific artwork, my original fanart, and the low-quality and insolent modification to turn it into a shoddy sweatshirt and t-shirt design. Which is promoted on TikTok !
This has to stop.
Sharing your work on the internet, or even just sharing your passion, has become a nightmare for artists and creators. We already have enough to deal with in the face of AI threats and platforms like Aliexpress; now we have to manage a surge in theft as well.
Here are the screenshots :
I'm seeking your help in identifying the authors of these artworks so that I can notify them.
I'm also currently in contact with a specialized attorney because I've had enough.
The cup is full, and I want to be able to showcase my drawings without enriching thieves. It's particularly painful during this period of economic crisis, where, like many others, I'm struggling to make ends meet, to feed my two young kids.

The website says the shop is located in 217 S Parramore Ave, Orlando, FL 32805, United States

Thank you so much for reading this, and for your help.
me: *just getting up, tiredly gets some water*
the Richie that apparently lives in my brain:
I'm a firm believer that Max is not the kind of asshole who stoops as low as to deadname his victims.
Like, say for instance, Richie were a trans man. If someone tries to bully him by deadnaming him, they bullier will be punched in the throat.
Everyone at Hatchetfield is an alley under the command of Maxwell Jagerman.
this terrified kitty won't let go of the young man who found it under the rubble.
the reporter was wondering if animals associations would care for the animals situation in gaza and the man answers her: "they do not care about us; human beings, you think they care about animals?! they do not care about us. no one does."
i'm rewatching npmd
(again.)
and when max says shit-lips
richie goes "it's lip-schitz, richard lipschitz"
and i want to point out he said his first name too (his full first name)
and i feel like this is a trans richie thing like he's so used to correcting people on his first name
idk
I think my favourite part about the intro to episode 3 of Tales is that Bunkers and Badasses scene.
The tales crew got Athena on their side, who is this terrifying vault hunter/assassin that appears really strict and no nonsense, and they had NO idea how to react around her... So they just asked her if she wanted to play the borderlands equivalent of D&D and she said yes.
And not only that she apparently got so invested in it that she flipped the board when she rolled a 1.
This woman has systematically hunted down members of Atlas and murdered them, she has defeated a vault monster, is one of the deadliest people on Pandora AND she made Fiona and Sasha fear for their lives in Hollowpoint and these four are still like "should we ask her if she wants to play?". I love them.
I want a DLC of that particular game of Bunkers & Badasses SO badly with a full intro cinematic of them working up the courage to ask Athena to play. Or just even a comic book, I'd take any info on it at this point.
I would buy this so fast
Richie.. my sweet mascot son..
Yuri drawing on my math homework more likely then u think :o)
(ignore the year I look on the wiki but I’m pretty sure that’s Janet b-day and death day)
mfw when i’m one of if not the most important character in my game but no one including the actual game developers gives me enough credit for how strong and brilliant and crucial to the narrative i am to the point where i’m literally not even mentioned in my own game’s sequel
