I can't remember all the people I told about these things, so I'm just posting this publicly to try to clear up the matter to everyone. I've made amends with two people I previously had issues with and I wanted to explain that the situations have been cleared up.
First is @HatiValcoran. We started working together when I beta tested his game Forest Shack, and collaborated together on other projects, but an incident cut these plans short.
The long and short of what happened is that a few different conversations made me suspect that Valcoran might have been romantically interested in me. I asked him if he liked me, and he answered along the lines of "I am not trying to get into a relationship with you, but I am open to hearing how you feel
We went our separate ways in 2023, but I was still thinking about it in 2024. I worried that I might had reacted too strongly, especially comparing it to other things that had happened after, so I reached out and found out what had actually happened. He had thought I had a crush on him and wanted to let me down easy, but I misunderstood what he said and we didn't get a chance to clarify the situation as we stopped talking after that conversation.
We have recently reconnected and talked through everything. I apologized to him for unknowingly smearing his name by telling others what I thought had happened, and he apologized for making me think he was putting pressure on me. We’re slowly getting reintroduced; if something else goes sideways again, I will know what to do.
Second of the two is @Game-S, who I met via the Creepypasta Collab server. He asked if he could draw my persona more sexualized in the process of drawing fanart of her, and I was not clear enough telling him that I did not want him to.
Game-S reached back out to me recently and we talked more. He feels ashamed of his past actions and apologized, and I also apologized to him for not saying anything to him when I should’ve.
I’m looking forward to collaborating with both of them in the future.
Hope this makes things more easily understandable.
