I made sure Matt still had this weeks Ren Fest trip. I paid for his entire day out, and helped him replace his hat. He had a very nice hat years ago, that was given to him by someone very special before they passed away. Unfortunately, something happened to that hat. I made sure it was replaced.

I got up to Michigan yesterday. I’ll be here for a few days. It’s been blow after blow for Matt, both online and in his daily life, so he really needs someone around at the moment. He does say hi to those have wished him well, and that he appreciates you.

I’ll be going up to Michigan to be with Matt for a few days. He already had very bad news before the accusations started. For those who’ve listened to both sides and realized the accusations are wrong: thank you from us both. I know some people will always assume the worst. That’s their choice.

God. I never post much. This is just the result of my anger! I’m so sick of how people treated someone innocent today, that I’ve posted more in one day than I have in almost a year!

Someone messaged me a few minutes ago to say that Matt deactivating is ‘proof’ pissed me off. He deactivated because he’s been harassed over this shit, and was facing blatant extortion by one of you. He deactivated for his mental health. Not because he was guilty. I really thought this fandom was

Matt has decided to sell his iPad. He wants it gone asap. iPad A16. 11 inch screen. About a year old. He’s asking $300 plus shipping cost. It’ll include a case, charging cord, current screen protector, and stylus.

Well, despite the BS people say, I know the truth about my friends art. And… What’s this?! ANOTHER style of art he used?! Oh, wait! He went with the original style of the character! Not his own style! Because he wanted to fit the style from the video! But… How DARE he switch styles, again?!

You wrongly accuse someone of AI then make this threat? This is legally extortion. Threatening someone to get money, otherwise share (false) information about them. This isn’t asking a refund. This is different. This isn’t okay.

Bluesky is acting up with me attaching additional word blocks to this post, so I’m going to post this via a picture with alt text for those who require it. Because today’s behavior has been appalling. I’m ashamed of the actions people have taken when it comes to herd mentality and attacking others.

I really don't understand how so many
'caring' people are able to just sit there and accuse others, without hearing both sides.
My friend was accused of Al because ot a genuine style. He's shared livestreams before. He's made art from a completely empty canvas in front of me and others. Yet, people can't stop to consider both sides. They jumped to accusing him. He's shared his process from the ground up before. He's shown sketches including just the basic shapes before his art is made.
He's shown it zoomed in where his own errors show through. He's even shown how his style has changed over the years with his old art example vs newer ones. You can see the same style, just more practiced and polished with time. Yet, people keep going.
He was already driven away from collages and latch hook rugs. Now he's been driven from digital art, too. Congratulations.

Remember, if you want to help make Matt’s (on here as IzzyArtist) birthday a good one for a change, it’s Friday! He’s got a bad track record with birthdays. I want to make this a good one. A simple card, happy birthday message, maybe we can convince Con O’Neill to tell him happy birthday, something!

I’ve TEMPORARILY blocked Matt (on here as IzzyArtist) so he can’t see this post. It can be shared safely to spread this. His birthday is July 17th. He’s got a bad track record with birthdays not going well. I was hoping some of us could surprise him in some way. Give him a good birthday.
