i think it's both, grifter + liar but i do think there is some truth to their poverty claims, but i do think they sometimes exaggerate.
full on will admit that i browse AC's blog occasionally. mostly because they're always saying how they're literally going to die if no one gives them money (going on several years of saying this now) and it's gotten to be kind of entertaining. last year they were saying if they didn't get 500 dollars for a medication they would die, i think it's funny how they'll just stop mentioning these very specific things that they need money for. and then of course they don't die, despite claiming they will within days if no donations.
AC lies a LOT or will not mention certain facts unless absolutely necessary. for instance, a few months back they were begging for money to pay their overdue internet bill. during this, they mentioned that their partner will lose their job if the internet is turned off. i found that mention hilarious if only because i feel like AC will act like there is absolutely no money coming in so they NEED your donations. i also thought this internet bill reveal was interesting, given that they appear to be on a package including TV (not necessarily a problem). however they state that they already returned the equipment and are still being charged... like ok... are you... doing anything about that? it's a good 160 bucks a month... https://www.tumblr.com/disposable-cellophane-dolls/772715603755712512
someone else mentioned the whole asking for money so they could buy a medibang/photoshop license, and that's another thing that bugs me. AC constantly brags about being older than everyone else and knowing all the old school shit that these young losers don't know. PIRATE. IT. holy shit, even with a job i typically won't buy some of the big name art programs because they're so overpriced. it's piss easy to find a cracked download.
another anon from a different ARR thread a while back pointed out how they have tons of money put into FFXIV due to boosted characters, and that's not cheap alongside paying that monthly subscription (whenever they have it active anyway). having a hell of a time trying to find this one, if i do i'll reply with a link OTL
AND LISTEN OKAY i wouldn't be this critical of anyone other than AC. please know it's so many things about AC that leads me to have these opinions about their actions regarding money. if they weren't such a nasty, lying piece of work i probably would feel a lot more empathy and be giving a lot more charitability to their posts.
What also gets me is they constantly claim that nobody they live with has a job... yet here they are saying that they need the internet specifically for their partner's job. Like, please, make it make sense.
