Life Update & Relationships
9 years ago
I really didn't want to address this publicly, and wanted to keep our personal affairs both personal and private. Unfortunately, a few malicious individuals who found out about this decided to start spreading rumors, going to our friends behind our backs and discussing our private info... and the rumors have spread, and some of the things I'm hearing are as far from the truth could possibly be.
Sciggles and I have separated. It's hard to say that openly and publicly but it is what it is. Sciggles and I have drifted apart somewhat, and our directions and life goals have taken us down different paths. Our separation is a mutual one. Sciggles and I are still best friends, and I consider her one of the closest people in my life. There is nothing devious or malicious between us and we both have nothing but respect and love for each other and want nothing but the best. We are still a strong team and have no plans on stopping that.
Again, I wanted to keep my personal life just that — personal. Sciggles is one of the best things to ever have happened in my life, and I don't regret a single day that's gone by with her in my life.

Shame that these people want to spread rumors and what have you.
Hoping this gets resolved and left alone.
It is nice, however, to see that it was mutual between the two of you.
Not too many people do that nowadays.
I haven't heard any of these rumors and I don't trust rumors in general.
Backstabbers are one of the worst people to have in your life. It hurts you very badly that you put all your trust in them.
I am very sorry to hear about your break up...
Quite frankly, it is none of our business what your personal life entails. However at times like these it seems necessary for you to address and fix the issues others have caused.
All the best to you Dragoneer.
and yer not even out in the sticks like me! D8
Their burgers are good fresh.
I don't see the need for people to be spreading rumors once they got word. even if it's the slightest bullshit.
(Quote me if you want, i personally don't give a damn)
ANYWAYS
I'm very sorry for you, Dragoneer and Sciggles. May the best be with you as you part ways.
It was fun while it lasted. and unfortunately as they say, things don't last forever.
Im sorry about your seperation though, it always nice to stay friends though :)
I get you want to keep your personal business personal, but you're a very visible member of the fandom. It's kind of difficult to avoid that forever, and particularly on something like this. Eh, I don't even know. It's good you two split on decent terms, at least.
Sorry that I'm willing to give sympathy to the people everyone else hates. Fuck me, I guess I'm a terrible person. Should I head for Calvary, or you want to just crucify me here in front of all these people?
Administrators are volunteers. I'm not pulling in a penny, much less anything that deserves the name 'paycheck' off of the time I sink into FA. We're still doing our best to handle issues promptly and professionally, but please do not go around perpetuating the rumor that we're all raking it in since the site was bought out.
I'm fine with not being paid. I'm not fine with people going around claiming I am paid.
Maybe it's time people stop pretending they know what's going on in site staff's personal lives, in general?
I'm not going to argue about this, because bickering on his journal is disrespectful to Neer, but please stop rumormongering. It doesn't look good on anyone, yourself included.
replacing all that SUPER LEET PHP must be tough
She caused all this trouble and heartache and depression and just plain shat allover your future family plans forever and you're just going to pretend like nothing happened?
What's next? Giving admin status to her new bedbuddy for good measure to show you're all still friends and stuff?
Dude.
Nothing like that happened whatsoever.
Separation hurts. It does this kind of stuff to you.
You have been made to feel bad.
And she doesn't look like she's hurting about it, drawing herself with hearts and shit.
Please respect when people dispel rumors about themselves.
Just cause you people won't have the balls to say it, I'll say it for you. This shit hurts, and one person in this crappy failed love triangle has gotten the short end of the stick and is most likely hurting the most, cause the other two seem all too lovey-dovey and shit to care, and their lip service in this thread means nothing to me, cause I wasn't born yesterday. I can smell bullshit from a mile away because my own trust was abused.
Maybe I'm bringing my own issues into this, but I feel that I need to say these things.
Also, I'm not even going on rumors (which turned out to be true, as this very journal shows), I'm at this point going on official info alone. Sciggles' Twitter, her BF's twitter, Neer's journals. I'm just connecting the dots.
You got called out on incorrect speculation, got embarrassed, and told one of the involved people basically to butt out of her own business. I'd be absolutely humiliated at my behavior if I were you.
I am also sorry people were rude to talk about something that wasn't their issue to discuss. Rumors are despicable things.
Best wishes to you both.
I've always enjoyed seeing the comics of the two of you together~ n.n
I am so happy you are still close and great friends~
Will there still be parties and sushi dinners? XD
Neer, if you ever need someone to talk to, just message me anywhere.
of course, we all seen what were going on, and even this isn't our private life, it's like everybody feels like the need to be excessively open about everything on social networks. i'm trying to stay as disconnected from this kind of stuff as much as possible but there's info you can't avoid now.
so, well, take care man!
On-topic, hope things work out and that this separation doesn't go further away from being close friends.
But with the type of bullshit they're throwing out, it's not helping their cause. Dragoneer is only hiding comments so that drama doesn't unfold in the wrong place.
You really want something done about it, go e-mail IMVU's CEO directly. Guarantee that you'll get somewhere.
you guys both keep giving it yer best for now.
I know this is weird coming from me since I'm regularly critical of you but: Sorry people are being ridiculous about the relationship thing.
*hugs*
I love you guys <3
I'm so sorry you have to even deal with this preyfar.
I wish you both the best & some much needed peace from some of these folks <3
Your lives are your own to manage - not everyone elses.
But really, keep anything you don't want found out off the internet. Almost anything can come back to bite you eventually.
You and Scigs are both awesome people and a credit to this community. Keep on doing what you do best <3
Personally I think it's garbage that some furs feel the need to destroy what they can, but at the same time, we're a society that relishes in shadenfreude. It really is the dark side of fame, and it sucks.
Hope things clear up, and those responsible figure out something else to do. I would say someone else to pester, but it's better to hope that the behavior gets old.
Take care, dude.

If that is true, then FA’s UPS batteries are all topped up!
Very glad to hear you'll continue being so close <3
*waves some pom poms* Keep up the positivity!!!!!
On a lighter note, it still good to hear that you two are still best friends. As long as you two can still hang out, it's all good.
I'm sorry what happened happened and I wish you both the best. I'm glad you could remain friends. I know breakups don't always happen that way and you are fortunate for that.
I still love both your artworks, and I may not agree with everything that goes on with the site, but I surely don't see the need to invade anyone's privacy over it.
Honestly, a bit sad to have heard this at all, I didn't know before, and I kinda don't think I wanted to know. I hope you're both doing well, though, and I hope that things settle down so you can move on. (Move on from the rumors, I officially declare that you and Sciggles must remain friends... FOREVER. I can't do that? Fine. >: ( ) But yes, these sorts of things should never be brought to light publicly in any manner, unless it's done by the actual involved parties. Major downside to this whole "Internet" thing.
Lots of love,
- Raidy
By the way, if this doesn't really make much since or anything. Sorry, running on nearly no sleep for 2 days at the moment. Goodnight! xD
There also could be support groups in your area for you to talk with. But... if your like me the furry thing tends to be one trigger I can't talk about just to anyone. I'm worried about being judged -.-; but if I can help anyway please don't hesitate to ask
Best wishes to you both!
All this doesn't really matter though, FA will forever remain the site of empty promises and "We'll do better" journals. All words and zero action.
Hope you both are doing well and glad to see you both handling things in a healthy and responsible way.
Hadn't expected this, but I'm not the most observant person on the planet, and I don't go digging for rumors about my friends or coworkers, so... You know where I'm at if you need me.
It's amazing how much people suck at living not to care about things that doesn't affect them at all.
When trolls were harassing me and my ex, we had to split up. Course she was new to the whole gay and furry thing.
I just hope you both get the best of luck and just be safe. *hugs the neer*
Either way, best wishes and happy times for you.
Glad to hear it was on as-good-of-terms-as-possible and I hope you're both doing ok <3
