Message to concerned fans from Odylic-Force a.k.a. Malachi
15 years ago
Greetings! I have been asked by
odylic-force to relay the following infos:
people can safely know i'm uploading here again:
http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Malachi/
Also, you may feel free to leave your contact info here as a comment in my journal, which I will relay back to her.
And, personally, I want you all to know that the contact I have with her is rather limited, but enough to know that she is on the mend, she has gotten help and has people who love her that are taking care of her, and that's all I really care to say about her situation. So, to be crystal clear about it: please don't ask me questions about her, and she is not going to respond to questions asked of her in the comments. No notes about this, at all, to either one of us, please!
Needless to say, any drama regarding this issue will get you banned quick.
And PLEASE for the love of god, if you don't know what this is about, don't ask and live on in blissful ignorance.
She is a very dear friend of ours and we care for her deeply - I wouldn't do this for just anybody! :3
Her recovery will occur at its own pace and she'll reemerge when she's ready~
Thanks all!

i woke up and found TEN new journals from the one account and another 4 from another one. i made the comment on one of them about how many journals she had made in the last 8 hours and recommended she take a rest or break.
and i havent heard anything from her since.
i do hope she is getting better
Do give her my best wishes, though. :)
It was quite disconcerting that she had to snap like this, though. ._.
(side note: you're saying if you know why don't say anything is just citing unwanted curiosity, though I see why it's necessary).
This is really awful, and I have nothing but sympathy for her and her family.
My sister has the same thing, and when it got its worst she would go off on these incoherent flights of fantasy where she would call everyone she knew claiming that she'd "had a revelation" and when asked what she meant she would fly off into fits of rage and scream that they wouldn't understand because they weren't "enlightened". She'd usually start trying to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol (which of course, didn't help things at all), and at its worst point she went after my mother with a kitchen knife. Luckily we got the knife away from her before she could do any harm to my mother or herself, and now she's getting the help that she needs.
Make no mistake, BPD is still a very serious mental illness. It's just not Schizophrenia.
I'm another stranger dropping in my regards. I sincerely wish only the best.
Thank you very much for this journal. I feel much better getting this information from a friend of theirs rather than from some of the old rumor mills online.
What started this was just me wanting to thank them for their work and now that I know this I hope they have moved past their issues (and, it seems, the fandom in general.) I am not expecting you to make a special effort on my part to pass on my well-wishes and appreciation, but if you are still in touch with them I'd really just want them to know I appreciate the talent and effort they shared with me in their work.
*And I can see you have your own issues to deal with, and I wish you the very best, sir.
I stumbled upon Malachi's artwork some time ago on a completely unrelated site, and with a desire to see more/follow the artist, I pursued whatever leads I could until I ended up here, with 15 other tabs open trying to end up with a way to contact the artist directly. I've dug far further than I ever should have just to try and get some sense of conclusion for my efforts
I'm making this comment to express how deeply this predicament has touched me. Over the bits and pieces I've managed to put together, from offhand comments to archived webpages that have long been inactive, I can only say that I truly hope Odylic-Force is in a healthy state of well-being.
Please, I only ask you to send her my best wishes. I wish I could help in any way, anything, to ensure that this person returns to normalcy and happiness, for themselves.
