Oh I'm absolutely using the meme don't you worry! It's too good.
I'm surprised Luvia can even participate in forum games. With god knows how many players blocked, with games that require one to look at the lair and dragons, surely they would have an equally hard time catching someone to respond to who they haven't blocked and don't want to block. Unless they deliberately unblock for that purpose but they don't seem like the type to do that
They could just open the lair in an incognito tab to get around blocks.
They block for every reason you can think of lmao. They used to post a lot of questionable stuff in PYCT, and occasionally people would call them out on some of it, and they’d get blocked. But they’d also just block people for making posts they didn’t like that had nothing to do with them (which they would make some vague post about, so people knew), and even threw a fit and blocked someone once because they didn’t respond to a dragon inquiry in a timely enough manner for them (like, after a few hours). I think a lot of the blocks started from PYCT.
However, a lot of people are blocked who have never communicated with them in anyway, and never even posted in the same threads as them - or have even posted at all. It literally seems like they just go through active users sometimes and randomly start blocking. I’m blocked, and I’ve never spoken to them and barely post, but even then it’s not usually in the same forums they hang out in.
I’m sure they’ve probably blocked people for flipping/exalting their dragons too, but who knows. They did used to have a huge aggressive disclaimer on their profile about how they block to avoid being aggravated and causing a seizure. People can block for whatever reason, so good for them for curating their online experience and all, and if it helps them feel safer then that’s great, but given the huge quantity of people they seem to randomly block and how often they post, one wonders how usable the forums really are for them. All I can imagine is solid walls of ‘you cannot view this users posts’.

the first paragraph pretty much sums it, but as another user posted, they can just use incognito windows to look at lairs without penalty, so it's a pretty easy workaround. since forums aren't limited by blocks, they can just post.
you could in theory report for block evading if you've blocked them, but your mileage may not get far depending on how staff handles it. according to their Stalking section of the Harassment page on their FAQ, they include "attempting to get around blocks using third-parties" under their definition of stalking.

That would require evidence though. Sure, you can use private mode/a different browser to see the forums or someone’s lair, but until you act on it somehow I doubt there’s anything the mods can do. There’s no evidence that block evading was occurring in the dragon share thread unless the person Luvia posted afterwards was someone they had blocked.
why has their profile been completely blanked out? did something happen to them? i know a lot of ARR thinks they're exhausting, but at this point i'm kind of worried about them, especially since they posted kind of normally on their adopt thread.
If you look at their and TwinFish's profile comments (haven't looked at winterlywytch's yet) about July 17th, they started posted about drama mongering people and people not letting it go, so I have the feeling they probably read some of the drama sites.
As far as I am aware, nothing else major has happened, but they have been brought up on both this site and SMR lately (though I don't recall whether it was more 'I was just reminded this user existed' or about actual drama they were involved in)

SA
It is WinterlyWitch (saw the Y and thought it was in Witch...) and there is nothing on their profile comments about this, though they have posted on AC's profile with some comments alluding to whatever happened.

I tried to look at their tumblr to see if they posted any rants about drama but I don't see anything. Best guess is they read up on all the things people were saying about them on this site and aren't feeling too great about it. Funny how their sister will say we're all "drama mongers who can't think for ourselves" when AC was the one who posted that weird rant about adoptables to their blog. If they didn't want the "drama" then they should stop posting things like that to stir it up. Them saying they wish people would leave them alone is valid, I'm sure it's exhausting to see someone post about you on a drama site. On the other hand, I don't feel too bad for them because they have been at this shit for years and you'd think they'd learn by now that people will bring up those sorts of things when they see them.
When you have a long as fuck blog post about the site's community & staff and how they are all ableists and shit, I think it goes past people just trying to dig up drama lol. AC has pretty much documented all the "drama" themself so it's partially on them at this point. They'll probably be back and I wouldn't worry about them too much.

I noticed as well after I came across their suggestions post while casually browsing the forums, got me curious. I guess we can't know what exactly happened but taking into consideration the vicious drama cycle they seemingly can't help but continue participating in, it makes sense to think they probably read up on recent stuff about them. Maybe. I honestly don't know how much of it is even real and how much is an act, they've gone and named their lair tabs "trash" and are straight up claiming they "don't know what they did wrong" again which is... hard to take seriously at this point... but also I do wanna be careful not to be an outright asshole about someone who clearly is still struggling a lot so idk. I hope they get to feel better soon and stuff
I can't take it seriously. Because if they read the drama blogs, they have been told what they are doing. Just stop doing that.
This is actually something they do pretty regularly (clearing their profile page + avatar and then crytyping on their parter and siblings pages). It happened last month too and then they restored their profile and kept playing as usual.
My guess is that they saw this SMR post - dated July 14th - and then catastrophized. Their main and FR blogs seem to have been deactivated.

I realize my last sentence makes me sound like I’m going “ugh nasty SMR regulars” but we have some people who are weird about AC too. Last thread had people claiming AC was racefaking as Lakota, and another person doubting AC was taking advantage of Texas’s Lakota-specific protections. We and SMR are cousins and we grew up on the same shitty cul-de-sac

Yeah I have real trouble feeling any sympathy for them at this point. Just seems like another attention seeking ploy. If they are actually 34 as they claim and are regularly acting like this... good god. I feel deeply for anyone who has to put up with their behavior irl.
+1
They do this any time they're upset at backlash. They'll post a long rant about how everyone is -ist, disappear, and reappear in a month or so because they can never stay away.

Exhausting is an understatement. But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if either staff did it or they erased everything out of sheer paranoia because everyone is *obviously* trying to kill them.
There’s so much talent on flightrising
I feel like an imposter. A talentless schmuck

i know that AC has a history of being really whiny, but i got super worried about them because almost every dragon they have has some form of "sorry" or "useless" in their bios. i grabbed a few screenshots but could someone archive their lair?
I archived the lair, here are the links in no particular order:

They pulled that exact shit the last month as you can see here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/664389
On june 17, 18, 19, they changed their profile NUMEROUS times and then changed everything back and acted like nothing happened.
Also nonny please do not feel sorry for them. They pull this "woe is me" shit all the time to garner sympathy and they do nothing more than spread toxicity and claim everyone is a transphobe or ableist when someone disagrees with them on something. Or when they ask all the time for kindness when they are the most unkind person I have ever witnessed. They claim that people make shit up about them when everything is clearly documented with archived pages which can not be tampered with. Also they had for literal years their 15k hate manifesto up that was just lies and slander. How do they think those people in the manifesto felt? But they do not think about other people, they clearly only think about them self.
They are a fucking hypocrite and everybody should know that.

I would have been worried initially as well as I've never been super interested in keeping up with astral drama thus I'm not always aware of their repeated behaviours but even as just a casual onlooker, this is just strange. Surely they have a private chat with their sister and partner, I genuinely fail to see why they would want to communicate their issues in textwalls through FR profile comments of all things unless the purpose is for strangers to see it and feel bad? Not even gonna use PMs, literally just comments which is notoriously like the worst way to talk to someone on this site? And, wiping your bio and going around in your lair to purposefully edit tab names and dragon bios to say edgy things as well as setting the avatar to a blank space (going out if their way to use a marva cloak for it?) just reminds me of my teen angst, the sole purpose of that would also be for friends / strangers to see and feel bad. Ooo I changed my discord icon into an empty black PNG don't talk me I angy
I'm not saying any of this can't be a cry for help, it absolutely can, but I guess we already know with astral that it's not really in their interests to actually stop the flow of drama or distance themselves from it despite claiming to be so hurt by it. Everyone on FR knows that it's really not that hard to let the drama fizzle out and not reignite it. I've been a subject of some low tier drama on old anonrising several years ago but I didn't even know the site existed at that point so I was just going on with my life until I learned way later that it had even happened. This stuff is so inconsequential, everyone will move on if nothing new is fed to the pot

I gotta admit that the “ssrory i cant do thsi anymroe” on TwinFish’s page is really funny. That and the random interspersion of badge talk.
Honestly, if AC didn’t do it themselves, staff would have wiped this bio eventually. It used to have a list of playstyles they would block people over and that is basically a DNI.
For context AC called marketplace resellers ableists and classists, and declared they would be blocked for their personal wellbeing or whatever. Also had a funny tidbit about blocking ppl who blocked them first because clearly that person blocked them to stalk them(?)
