Just throwing that out there.
I'm not Chantelle and I never will be, nor am I copying them simply because I have a dino character (Ellie the Carnotaurus) shipped with Ripto for the lulz.

They have their own characters for their fantasies. And I'm sure as heck they do not wish to be associated with their past, their long-retired Raptor OC, or be known for any of that. They simply want to move on and do/draw whatever they please.
Do not bring up their past if you're in contact with them, because they already have enough issues to deal with.
There already is enough gossip about them doing some shady things or that they might have done shady things, which are not true. (At least I hope they aren't)

So, let them be.

I'm going to delete the drawing that contains the character in question because it's wrong and disrespectful. I've been thinking this over - that's literally not who they are anymore and they like their privacy.

And please, for the love of god look at both sides of the story.

Also, I've seen fanartists shipping Ripto with their OCs who are dragons. Which is ironic because he hates them. No, really, he hates them. This is why Ellie is a dinosaur. Dinosaurs ARE in the Spyro games, and I don't see Spyro OCs based on actual dinosaurs. Which is RARE. So there.

EDIT 16-8-2024: Submission The Forgotten Ones has been permanently deleted. It's still up on my DeviantArt page and on my other FA account, but I will censor it until Chantelle-Raptor's creator tells me to take the submission down.
