wolf | 25 | he/him | kittycorns ex that helped create the original iteration of karmageddeon (team escapees) - planning to reboot it

Hiiiii, I'm Wolf! :] I am 25, and my pronouns are he/him. I'm a trans guy and I'm autistic and ADHD. I'm not revealing much else about myself on purpose for my own privacy, but I may later on if I end up feeling more comfortable about it. This post might be subject to change! I will work on the desktop layout of this blog when I get time.

I am the second person who worked on the original iteration of Karmageddeon with Kneeby from around 2012 to 2017, Kneeby's ex boyfriend from that time. Anything bad you've heard about me is probably very exaggerated and honestly twisted to make me look like a bad person. I have grown and changed since then anyway, and any behavior in the past is not indicative of anything current about me. I may take time to answer asks or respond if something isn't urgent, as I am just a very anxious person. Please have some patience with me!

• This media will have a lot of horror themes (psychological horror, in particular). I'm not entirely sure about content like blood and gore yet or other more graphic themes, but I would like to aim for less focus on those things. I will figure it out!

Karmageddeon was Team Escapees in the past!! I thought I would be just dipping and disappearing again, but I want to take Team Escapees back, honestly. So I want to reboot it my own way. It's likely what I create is going to be closer to the original comic than Karmageddeon is, and you might even find things familiar!

So I suppose I am sticking around. I have some guidelines for interacting with me. The most important are next, and it's continued under the cut, with more info.

• If you come just to harass me or bother me about Kneeby, just be aware that I am not going to dignify your asks with an answer or response. Full stop.

• If you support Kneeby, do not interact with me. General DNI criteria apply here. If you are proship, this is not a space for you. I will block over these things.

i was groomed by Oliver Bouler, author of Olivias Birds and "Lion/Ollie" on the Sparklecare Team. At the time I knew him as dibfilth on Instagram and by the names Forrest and Dib. I was 14, he was 21. Our relationship wasn't necessarily sexual in nature, but it went beyond friendship. What happened to me was objectively grooming, but it wasn't nearly as bad as what happened to the others. He had several victims, going as young as 13. Screenshots below are taken from the cinnadibfilthpedoproof Instagram account, and there is much more on the account than this. None of these are my own conversations with him, I'm too scared of him finding me.

A few years ago, while processing that I had been in an inappropriate relationship with him, I came in contact with one of his IRLs. He had sheltered them from his callouts for a while before they eventually found out the truth. They confirmed that, even after everything had come to light, Kittycorn was still associating with him. I was devastated as both a Sparklecare fan and a victim.

Desperately I sent asks and messages, off-anon so they could be responded to privately, begging Kittycorn for any confirmation that they were no longer associated with each other, that it wasn't true. If you are familiar with Kittycorns tumblr, you know she is very active when it comes to answering asks. Not a single one of mine were answered. I took this silence as compliance.

Ollie was not the only groomer to work on Sparklecare. There have been at least four called out since 2020 alone, and each and every time they are just silently removed from the Sparklecare credits with no word from Kittycorn. You would think that words of respect towards the victims, perhaps a mesaage denouncing these predators would be due. But time and time again, the same thing happened.

I've been working up the courage to make this post for 5 years. I've known about her shady associations for years, and for that I feel guilty. Maybe if I had said something sooner then less people would have been hurt.

anything to share that was planned in the original but will be left out from the reboot?

I'd love to be able to give a good definitive answer here, but honestly, I'm not totally sure yet! I'm still doing concept stuff for the reboot right now, so I don't want to spoil anything that could end up being included or important later!

Super sorry for the inactivity, by the way. I had to straight up just log out and step away because people were sending me absolutely horrible and disgusting asks. Instead of answering or bothering at all, I just left for a bit LOL. It worked though. People stopped. Anyway, those are all deleted, but I haven't deleted anything unrelated, so no need to resend anything you've already sent in!

referencing what you said in one of your previous posts; can you actually point out which karmageddeon characters are remakes of the TE cast :o? im curious to know who is who, especially if kit is one of them

Okay! So to the best of my knowledge and intuition:

  • Brett “Bat” Ribution - The Batter / Vincent
  • Mallory "Molly" Dust - Dietrich Valentine
  • Cecilia "Cece" Aterr - Cecil
  • Anastasia "Annie" Lation - Anastasia Valentine
  • Cherice "Cherie" Fall - Cherry Silver
  • Sasha Shame - Saber Clementine
  • Reed Alonn - Nick
  • Nico Shiate - Pyro
  • Dr. Mortimer Practice - Medic / Joseph
  • Dr. Mason Able - Maxie
  • Lav Ender - Lavender
  • Calendra Ender - Kira, originally from Sonic the Cat, but she was supposed to be in Team Escapees
  • Keith "Socks" It Together - Socks, from Team Escapees: Lavender POV
  • Pep Rika - Pepper, from Team Escapees: Lavender POV
  • Frans Tick - Franz
  • Candle Abra - Candle
  • Neil G. Aterr - Very sure he is supposed to be a rework of Ollie Kyper, who was Kit's older brother.

Characters I'm less sure about but, like.. I'm pretty sure about them. But do not take my word for fact at all, it's still very possible I'm wrong:

  • Evan Tually - Lance
  • Melvin "Vinny" Jince - Pippin...? I'm sort of stuck between if him or Nook Ender might be Pippin.
  • I'm also unsure if Holly Enshout or Alan Grier are Griefer. Leaning toward thinking it's Alan, since he's the closest to Griefer's pre-cyborg design as Sid Chandler.
  • Flesch Enblood is so painfully familiar looking, but I really can't remember who he might be. I have old references printed out on paper somewhere that I'll have to find and look through, that might at least clear things up with him?
  • Ellie "Elsa" Tronix has a large amount of Kit's characteristics, including the lack of expressions and such. I don't know if she's a rework of Kit specifically, but I noticed that.

This is just what I have right now. A lot of these characters were ones I designed and created.

Kit, Lavender, Kira, Socks, Pepper, Franz, Candle, and Ollie were not created by me, they were created by Kittycorn and I think Socks and Pepper were by another family member of hers. There are others that Kittycorn created, and I will try to find as many refs as I can and make a little archive of that, as well as who created who + any character inspirations.

I will probably do a list of TE characters and what they were inspired by, or more accurately based on, a bit later!

Since you worked on an early version of karmageddon and did some partial work on Sparklecare do you have any advice to aspiring webcomic creators like myself? I’m not really good with writing or coming up with complex ideas

Hello!! Advice on webcomics and just in general… I think people have asked Kittycorn before and from looking over her blogs recently it feels like she kinda gave fucking nothingburger advice at times. So here's my advice, under the cut mainly just because it’s long. I will tag the main Sparklecare tag with this specifically because I know there are a lot of people who want to take elements of it for themselves and make their own things, too. :] Other than that, I've stopped using the main tag and won't be using it.

So, not even webcomic specific related at first:

Anonymous asked:

Have you read the leaked Karmageddon chapter 1? I guess my question is, that if the Karmageddon/Team Escapees will by anything like it? And do you know if anything you and KC original conceived together carried over to what eventually came out that was leaked?

I did take a look at it, yes! My reboot will have similarities just based on the fact that she did carry over a fair amount of characters that were reworked and moved to Karmageddeon. The time loop aspect of the story will remain, since its the whole crux of things.

Ratzville as a location carried over to Karmageddeon, I know. Bunmart did. Cecilia's brother was also a concept I believe was reworked from the original Team Escapees, because the brother concept originally was attached to a different character.

I would have to look back over the leaks and stuff to give a more comprehensive list of anything I noticed, and it's important to remember that I can only truly speculate about some of it, since I wasn't present for any of Karmageddeon itself's development. I will absolutely go through these things if you would all like me to!! :]

Also! Re: the characters, you can also take a look at this post —

thank you for coming out. before eve deleted her deviantart account i would look through it frequently for inspiration, im assuming most of the art she made was about you- sorry if this seems weird, its just something i remember wondering about.

I am going to be so for real. Yes, a ton of art squeak made was about me. I can't necessarily speak about past late May 2017 and onwards, as I went no contact with her around then, but I'm sure some of it past that time was. I know personally that a lot of art before that was about me or us together, though!

Anonymous asked:

Oh god how many iterations of karmageddon even are there now, which I don't even wanna know what we don't know yet from the development of that. The ride never ends

Well, there was the original Team Escapees. There was the 2017 reboot the two of us were working on before I left and cut Kittycorn off that was also still Team Escapees. Then there was Karmageddeon and her multiple reworks of it. Now there will be my reboot of the original Team Escapees that is currently untitled!!

Anonymous asked:

besides suffuz who else did you make for sparklecare?

To my memory, not anybody but Suffuzz. I was, however, the one that suggested mouse and spider as the animals for preboot Doom!!

Are you gonna be taking kit back as well or is she gonna be replaced. Kit was later turned into a sparklecare character but I mean that's basically over now so I'm genuinely curious

Avatar

Honestly? Yeah, I will. Maybe it's petty of me, but Kittycorn took so many characters I created for that media and totally just completely redid them instead of making her own new ones. So, it's like.. fuck it. Y'know?

Squeak totally misrepresented me as a monster and then took all my contributions for herself and, to my knowledge, never actually acknowledged that they weren't originally her creations in the first place. I feel like I'm entitled to take back the series in general.

Like, it has always really rubbed me the wrong way that kit decided to reboot Team Escapees at all.

I can look at most Karmageddeon characters and tell exactly which Team Escapees characters they were derived from, even if some sort them may not be super obvious to everyone else. And if people want me to go into that, I will!

I will be doing my best to clean out the ask box this morning, so if you've sent something in, keep an eye :]

wild question out of context but i have to know. Is gay angel of death catboy medic tf2 who cheats on his husband. is he in this

=^-^= (Sparklethoughtbubble)

He was a wolf actually!! BUT I do want to bring him back in some form!! @sparklethoughtbubble

I am going to try and make the whole concept of chaos angels more relevant than it was in the original Team Escapees, because despite the small bits of lore revealed about them, they didn't have a ton of actual story importance. I actually created them and their concept!! Hopefully I can revamp them a bit more overall.

They were actually a through line in several stories Kittycorn and I created back then, but they didn't do much, and they didn't ever particularly get utilized.

A fun fact for you: I was honestly the reason Team Escapees had so many characters based off of characters from existing media. That's just kind of always been my type of autism and ADHD. I'm attached to those characters, though, so my plans are to like.. separate them enough that they aren't so obviously expies, while trying to maintain some of their original charm.

Honestly, if any of you want me to list which characters were inspired by established media and what character their inspiration was, I would be happy to. I think it would be very fun.

BTW, I'm probably going to stop tagging the main Sparklecare tag now, because I want it to be open and clear for relevant discussions and such—I just have wanted people interested in KC's projects to know they won't all just die. I will still be tagging Karmageddeon and Team Escapees since they are relevant, though. So either follow me or follow/check those tags to keep up with all this

Anonymous asked:

not that it matters but is KC transfem or not bc a lot of her behavior around transfem characters is very fetishized n transmisogynist.. n ive gotten conflicting answers n thoughts bc of the fact eve is a cis girl with pcos, but ally is trans

the replies of this post say emsody and other clowns confirmed shes not but apparently like relates to transfems more?? idk i can also vouch that she is afab (although with pcos). i would generally not speak on this because its private personal info imo, BUT the concerns around her treatment of transfem characters unfortunately does warrant it to me

Anonymous asked:

considering you were around for the Team Escapees days I have to ask if kittycorn was into zoophilia then is it okay to ask if she was into necrophilia and that’s why it was in the original Sparklecare? Cause if so this doesn’t surprise me anymore

answering under a read more so people who want to avoid that sort of answer can but

I think if you’re going to make a shitty attempt at calling out your ex who was actively dealing with psychosis and delusions it’d be best not to bring up shit that you had a part in enabling, ie the fucking Kin dating. Guy surprised he introduced gore and cannibalism to a paranoid schizophrenic dealing with cotard’s delusion is going to find appeal with that when y’all were minors and you go on here trying to act like you’re a victim? You know Eve’s history. It’s wicked that you’d wait basically years for her to be called out on the same acts you reproduced her. Don’t act like you’re all high and mighty and above someone who obviously needed help and didn’t need to have her trauma art blasted for the world to see. If you claim you want to get closure out of this, then you should have stayed your sorry ass in the same corner you ran away to back in 2017.

im not going to go back and forth with you on this endlessly

i just want to say thank you so much to the people who have expressed support so far. i was afraid for a long time that people just wouldnt believe any of the things i had to say. it feels so good to finally get some closure and have been able to tell my side of things without fear. im not going anywhere just yet i suppose, since people may still have questions. but it all means so much to me that i dont feel like i have to afraid or anything.

you do not scare me anymore kittycorn. i dont wanna hide forever on the internet bc of you. and i think i might just take team escapees back for myself and do it better, i created a vast majority of the characters anyway and i never thought it was fair you kept all of that. you cant hurt me anymore like you did in the past
