I really hope I don't come off as sounding judgmental, but are you absolutely sure? I ask because once you've given away pictos, not to mention characters, it can be very difficult to get them back, especially if their new owners are really enjoying them.
I've given away ideas that I've worked on before like this and sometime later I wanted them back but didn't have the heart to ask. That's my concern, but of course it is ultimately your choice!
I'm absolutely sure. I didn't have them long enough to bond too much to them yet, and I took a good couple weeks to think this through once I solved the unspoken puzzle. My husband wanted me to quit as soon as he saw the signs that something wasn't right, but I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. I had a goal when I decided to create within the community, but it's obvious that goal won't be reached if people are speculative and paranoid over something that happened to them in the past. and I don't blame them for it, hearing what stories I was told. But I don't need to be a target because of a font used by many and pure, really, fear, is what I've seen. I don't want to cause anyone pain if I bring back negative memories of someone once hated, so I will give these away to be reused and just find a new place to create and roleplay. It's really no big deal. I don't mind moving on to ease the minds of those who obviously have scars.
Some sincere advice for both of you:
-If someone is avoiding you or being discourteous, it's safe to assume you won't be benefited by interacting with them anyway. Don't make a fuss or throw your hands up and decide everyone is evil, just ignore them back. Because that's probably what they want, anyway.
-Be honest. I think it worked better for you/this time around because you were mostly honest. Maybe try a little more.
-If the fifth time isn't the charm, maybe you should seek a different service.
i would love to take her (if that's what you mean ;v;) but i don't know if i'd be a good owner for her. i also don't use most of my characters often so i probably wouldn't user her either.
I am NOT this person you think I am. I truly am NOT. I've been pointed out the "similarities". They are so common of many people, I don't see how it came down to specifically me, and many of my friends from here agree with me and also have seen others ran off, both thinking they were her and others with nothing to do with her. But I'm not here to argue. I'm here to give these pictos and a character a good home so they can be utilized since I won't be returning.
With that said, I know people will want to say something, but please just don't. I want to give these a good home. Let me do it and be done with this.
aeoui, if you change your mind, let me know. I'll be handing this picto over last to make sure I have a way to get all these taken care of.
Does that mean that you, specifically, don't believe me to be her, but possibly a second person that was ran off the site for hurting others? This is getting to be too big of a past-drama fest for me to even keep the facts straight on. I'm confused, frankly scared, hurt, frustrated. I also understand there are misunderstandings, and people need to give in for there to be peace. I didn't come here to stir things up. I came here to contribute, to make commissions and to give others commissions, to donate to the forest, to have fun, to make stories and friends. I understand, for me, that won't happen. I tried for weeks to ignore it. I ignored the same player follow me on many different pictos, camping out at my character's favorite spots. I became afraid of going in the forest unless Acacia had some sort of protection in case someone decided to OOCly attack her. I moved her away from those I learned she needed to avoid, but with them everywhere, so many of them, I felt forced out of the forest.
I get the hint. I understand. I don't mind being a wrongful target, I really don't. It's not worth arguing over, or making more drama over. Just let me get rid of these pictos so I can go and you all can continue on and, hopefully, not accuse or run anyone else off wrongfully.
I'd like to reach you via Skype to discuss taking one of these pictos, but I won't be home for another hour or so. You can add me in the meantime: mine is zuperfisch.
Does that mean that you, specifically, don't believe me to be her, but possibly a second person
It means I decline to publicly voice the decision I have made on that matter because, as you've said, it's not worth arguing over. If you aren't her, you'll deny it. If you are her, you'll deny it.
I'm sorry you're upset.
Again, my advice is to ignore and avoid the people who want to be ignored and avoided, and find somewhere that works for you. I don't have much else to say here.

No one is telling you not to, and they couldn't stop you even if they wanted to.
Aivilo - That's one reason I decided to leave without a fuss. No one would believe me if I defended myself, and it was risky to leave without defending myself as well. People will think what they want to think, no matter what proof or otherwise is given. An excuse can be made to discredit anything online these days, all the way up to having a fake ID (which is dangerous to post publically anyway). I'm not willing to stoop so low to defend myself. Not worth the stress.
Sure. do you want the picto too or just the character?? The picto has a bio on it that was started. I put the link to the picto art in the wrong place but the URL is in there somewhere. Of course you can use his art and make new art of the design.
I was waiting to see if anyone would pick up acacia, she is a very lovely design! I was wondering if I may be able to pick it up? Also you can keep give the picto to someone else. I am interested in her design ^^
She's all your's. No one wants her or has too many characters already. You can go ahead and nab her art from her bio. Would you also like the CSS from her bio?
Sure I'd like that thank you . I've really reduced my characters down to one main so I think having her might work out for me. I've always adored her design. As for sharing the code you can send it to my email if you want.
Thank you and sorry you had to go through all that just to get rid of these characters. I'll take good care of acacia.
Thank you. I don't mind if you change her name or anything. If you want to try to continue where I left off, I left her loose and a wide open end, just touch base with her family. But change her name, relations, give her something new. Just want to make sure the design is used. Nazzard did an excellent job designing her from my poor attempts to do her justice.
I'll send the e-mail shortly, RL is half busy just now.
Nazz did do a good job on that art. I'll have to really sit and figure out what I'll do with her (I may try to reinvent her to get more acquainted with the character. And no worries I totally get rl stuff.
Still getting rid of these. 3 pictos (including this one) and a character left, if interested. Really hate to see these go to waste. Will give to anyone, hate me or not.
I really hope I don't come
