like "i was a few days late to respond to an email on an email i exclusively use for them bc they don't accept my primary email despite that rule being implemented 15+ years ago so they removed my second most popular listing" way they run things lol
i know i answered this on dw, i just figured in case other folks were wondering i'd say erin and variations of nathanial here too! thanks again for the head's upon the polish ;w;
i used to see ppl doing this all the time!! i thought it was normal :0c kinda like a way of redirecting you to their 'for you' page if you hadnt already visited yet
I mean I do this, but it's separated/distinct from the ones I've adopted elsewhere. They used to sit on my landing page but I didn't really like them there.
Also the Lisa Frank polishes have been restocked, or at least the glitters have (not so much the cremes), on ORLY's website--and I dunno if you have the browser extension Honey or not but that gave me a coupon code for free shipping. o3o Also they have a bunch of really cool nail wraps that I'm debating, lol!
oooh thank you for the head's up! if you like zoya they're doing 70% off rn too!
also i love the drippy header and how you added lighting on it to make it look like actual polish! do you mind if i ask what font was used? also i'm sorry that my kneejerk reaction was yas and ironically i saw you hate that phrase after i'd already said it i didn't do it on purpose to be annoying ;w;
ROFL You're fine! Honestly your response made me smile, it's totally fine, hahaha. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to have a look! And the font... hmm... lemme go look...
Also how jealous am I that you've got one of the Lisa Frank polishes, lol! I want the confetti one SO bad.
not at all! plz lmk when the page is finished bc i wanna see your collection! sob i was so fortunate to find the single bottle on chance at an ulta, otherwise the whole collection sold out so fast everywhere ;A;
if i missed something or got something wrong please lmk, but hopefully this is comprehensive enough to a) show dreamie was scummy b) help folks recognize scummy beings often have similar behavior patterns and c) be an easy link for the next time someone asks what happened
Unfortunately, it's a lot of things- Dreamie accused us (as in, our system) of telling her to off herself in a server were nobody did such a thing AFAIK.
thanks for the writeup! was an..interesting read. i considered following tumor before, but i saw them vagueposting about the oldweb/blocking thing and was instantly turned off bc it was just extremely aggressive and weird to me lol
It's okay, we're not afraid of her and TBH our experience is but a drop in an ocean- we're mostly worried about the way she engaged with minors and how manipulative she was towards them.
i also considered following tumor until i looked at it's bio and had that "...waiminnit" moment lol. you dodged a bullet and i'm glad for that. "aggressive and weird" is a good description
thank you so much for speaking your piece on this. i had to leave her webring bc she was telling doko to off themselves while claiming that "it's her job to protect minors" and after giving my reason, she was like "lol ok have fun supporting pedophiles!" it wasn't fun. :\
i'm glad you're not afraid! i agree though, it looks like coddling up to minors to basically use them as pawns is part of it's usual modus operandi and it's disconcerting
oh dear. i was one of the ppl it vagued about when it was talking about "removing ppl for engaging with lolcows." oh lord, i'm so sorry to hear dreamie was harassing you as well. ugh i can't stand the p word being thrown around so casually and reasonable ppl like you being treated so badly
*it, apologies for using she/her pronouns. i saw those pronouns mentioned in its bio, so i thought it'd be ok,,,
since i'm not dreamie i can't speak for how it would take being referred to as she (i don't mean this in a catty or sarcastic way) but i know for the longest time it used she as well. technically i'm incorrect with it but after hours of it i'm on autopilot ;w;
afaik the current correct pronouns for dreamie would be rot, and bc dreamie had so many pronouns and switched them so frequently i don't think anybody here was purposefully trying to misgender. we a little confused but frankly look at the material we were referencing
i forgot to say before, but if you want your experience removed i'd understand, or on the flipside if you wanted to be named for the sake of your hurt being acknowledged i'd also understand and can edit the post accordingly
👏👏 thank you for your service. tbh I had no idea about this manipulating minors thing, have been too short here to be aware of everything. for me it's the most vile thing it dreamie has done. i agree that faking minority status & weaponizing it is absolutely low, but srsly, it sounds like borderline grooming behaviour. hopefully dreamie will stay gone or at least won't get as much attention as used to before
and for minors here, please, stay alert around weird adults online, no matter how cool they may be at first sight. they're not your friends, don't confide in them, because they can turn out to be manipulative or outright abusive towards you
oh no, it's absolutely grooming behavior. then dreamie would turn around and accuse others of the grooming. dreamie chill out and get a life challenge. for the kiddos, adults can be kind and even friendly, but something is probably wrong if they're saying they're the only one you can trust and others are evil and etc. watch for red flags
i made a lil' sigh emoji but actually when in doubt just do shit manually. sometimes the simplest solution is going back to basics
