Pasuteru's Clan

I just wanted to address the rumors flying around right now to clear things up for everyone. I owe everyone that much despite current issues I'm dealing with in reality.

I fully admit to using someone else's images in place of myself. I could argue that there's a good reason behind doing so; self esteem issues, internet stalkers, ect. But that doesn't matter, it was silly and I should have known better. I'll be apologizing to Puni for doing so promptly.

Everything else though is in fact genuine. I'm a 24 year old Japanese American, living in Seattle with the same likes, dislikes, habits, quirks and ect I had before. I speak English and Japanese and even pathetically attempt some Korean from time to time. I dye my hair unnatural colors and probably wear too much make-up. And I choose to call myself a "hafu" because it's something I'm actually proud of. I think blending two cultures together is beautiful, so it's something I like to emphasize instead of run away from. So there--just wanting to come clean.

I should probably address why I use the word "Spooks" in my hatchery since that's something that was also a hot topic. Have you ever watched Youtube? I do. That's where it comes from; a modern slang term for things that are scary. I enjoy watching Markiplier, PewDiePie, CinnamonToastKen, and Cryaotic--all of which use the word "Spooks" from time to time when describing horror genre related things. I think there's also a popular bakery or something called Sugar Spooks too. I had actually no knowledge of it being a derogatory term prior to these rumors. And I'm sure the FR staff would have asked me to change it if they were that worried.

I lastly feel the need to clear the air between myself and the user known as "Dorsia" on here because I've been asked enough times. The simple fact is that we've never been able to get along for whatever reason. Before I changed my username to Pasuteru I was known as Wytch. I was a new user who was aspiring to start up my own Pastel Goth themed hatchery. I had been messaging some already established hatcheries asking advice about how things worked and such--so she was someone I had messaged. She and I had exchanged some emails that had no issues at all for a while, in fact I was looking forward to making a new friend. But then there was some kind of miss-communication and she felt that I was trying to 1-up her or something so she told me off. I don't have her message saved in my inbox, but I do have what I sent her back in my sent messages--here's what is said.

"I decided to talk to you because we had similar interests actually. You just happened to be a breeder too so I figured I'd break the ice that way since I'm honestly really shy. But that's alright, I guess I rubbed you the wrong way or something--which I am sorry for I guess. Thanks for all the helpful advice you did give. Take care."

I then decided to just give her the space she asked for. Some time passes and I establish myself as a breeder and normal part of FR society. I get the idea then one day to start a Pastel Goth breeders hub since there wasn't one and I felt there was a need. Doing so seemed to upset her since I'm guessing she is so passionate about it. So I went to rectify that by asking if she'd like to be part of it. But some time passed by and I had felt that she had ignored my question, so I was a little upset that she was still being so hostile to me. She eventually replied and was a little put off and declined to be involved altogether. And that's really all that happened. Whatever else just isn't true. I find it ridiculous that it needed to be brought up in the first place as it should have been kept between the two of us. But I guess that's just how I felt.

The artwork I used on my tumblr wasn't stolen either. Simrell did it as a trade for one of my accents. Ask her yourself.

And that's me speaking out on all these crazy rumors. I've thought about sticking around since I've made real friends here. But after all of this madness I can't see how it would work out. I really don't need any added drama in my life. Flight Rising was my one escape and it's kind of been torn apart by something so silly. I realize it's partially my own fault--the pictures--but I had no idea somebody had it out for me. Devoting an entire blog to cyber bully me? Calling me racist? Saying I can't be Japanese because I speak too good of English? I honestly can't wrap my head around it all.

Anyways, I feel like I'm rambling at this point. The bottom line is that I'm leaving FR to appease the chaos. I've already deleted my tumblr and threads here on FR. I'll miss what real friends I have on here and the awesome memories we've made. Take care and keep making gorgeous dragons you guys.
