Update Shellteller

Posted 2 months, 18 days ago by slimeyflowers

Hello this is slimeyflowers/pallasiteflower. I also go by Slimey.

Yesterday I made a bulletin and twitter thread about Sheller (Shellteller/Jodoras/Gill) documenting how I initially received an alarming response that a friend and artist working with Gill had received. Gill's mom sent a message and that immediately startled us because we feared an possibly dangerous escalation for our friend. I vouched publicly that their mom was abusive and was capable of financial abuse, I still believe that is the truth. At the end of my post I had advocated to give Gill time to explain themselves, fix all charge backs and reach out to everyone involved. I have yet to see any proof that they have done any of this. I want to apologize for believing they would make the steps to resolve this quickly.

My friend and I have been adamantly demanding they immediately call Paypal to reverse every charge back and to fix what had happened. They responded back asking that I send apologies and contacted artists to resolve this on their behalf. I refused to do so, stating that they needed to be the one to resolve this on their own. I would provide guidance and help support them on an appropriate resolution.

I understand that your mom was the cause of the charge backs but that means there’s a bigger problem. Important logins became compromised and that means becoming accountable for allowing it to happen. At this point it’s more important to fix all the damage and then publicly clear your name afterwards.

I want to thank the DM alerting me about the hostile and negative comments. Gill is going through very tough times at the moment but this isn’t acceptable. I've have also read Suit's post with every project calculator, there are far too many purchases and affected artists. Gill you have a severe spending problem and this isn’t something you can ignore. So many people are suffering from this.

When we talked yesterday Gill I made it very clear that you had a decision to make. You know what the options are and what the consequences will be. I will not become an enabler or a PR manager. It’s up to you to decide what happens.

I'm physically exhausted and pissed. I will still be reachable but I'll be distancing myself away. I tried my best to reach out to Gill but this has reached an impressive absurdity.

you did such a kind thing and I’m so sorry you had to deal with this as a result T_T i hate that they used you for damage control and this is just making them look worse honestly. I’m so mad. please take care of yourself and get some rest ;w;

You are an amazing person trying to support the artists involved in this in anyway and also help gill with their problem. I don’t wanna get too involved with the situation since nothing happened to me but I hope gill claims responsibility for this and repays back everything so the stress would be lifted off your shoulders. Thank you so much for keeping everyone updated on this, don’t stress too much

Best of luck to you!!! =( I'm sad to hear they seem to be trying to have you fix what is, ultimately their problem, as heartless as it sounds. You've already gone above and beyond for them so the fact that they want you to do even more is really awful. Gill's gonna have to eat this fall and I just hope it wakes them up to reality and they can get help. But it's up to them to make that leap, you can only do so much. Sending you good vibes 💓

Of course. I'm alright to explain where I can. And yes that is essentially what's happening. I understand they are scared, it's so much money but it not worth this.

I'm hoping they realize this can not let this erupt into some parties seeking legal measures because I know some folks are considering it. And I can't and won't stop them.

And thank you for commenting back. I realize I must look like an alt account but that's for people to decide.

thank you for keeping us updated & please take care of yourself, it shouldn't be your burden to carry, but everyone appreciates your transparency very much T_T

slimeyflowers

of course, I value transparency a lot. Everyone has permission to take my post and make screenshots of the comments I write. I'm really tired (and I'm still newish to TH).

I don't think anymore updates will happen from my end since I compromised myself but it's alright.

Demand for reverse charge backs but do it with kindness, they are going through a lot. It should have never gotten to this point.

thank you so much for the update :(

slimeyflowers

Of course, I'm sorry this happened to you. My hope is that this gets resolves one way or another.

Just wanna say that I'm really sorry all of this has happened. I also care very deeply about my friends and want to protect them, so I can only imagine how frustrating and stressful it must be to have your own friend behave in this way. In fact, I've been in a similar position to you in the past, myself. It's such a frustrating and incredibly draining place to be in. I hope that Gill makes the right decision, but if they don't, it's absolutely not your fault and I applaud you for stepping away. This is Gill's mess, not yours. Regardless of if this was their mothers' actions or not, they were the one to make unwise purchases and now they are the one withholding thousands of dollars from innocent artists. I hope that you can get some much needed rest and focus on yourself for now. Even when we care deeply about other people, sometimes you just have to tell them 'no more' and look out for your own wellbeing.

Thank you for your comment. I've been watching as many threads as I can (I'm still very new to TH so forgive me for missing some, just send them to me so I can read). I'm afraid I can't rest yet, I'm transferring to another college. It's been my dream since 2010 to finally finish my Bachelors. I can't rest because I'm so close, it's why I'm so passionate for artists and artwork.

Don't worry about me, I'm so small in the big picture. I appreciate it though, I came into this fully expecting to have my own account banned and be marked as a scammer for my actions.
I'm doing this because that's how much Gill matters to me, because these artists matter to me, because their livelihood and passion matters to me. I'm not the kind of person to blindly defend someone, what I saw was my friend had something horrible happen and I wanted to see how I could help them. But you are right, sometimes there are points where we have to say "no more".

I promise I will be okay, I'm just exhausted.

Godspeed on the college thing! I had to switch majors and colleges a few years back, was definitely stressful but you'll get there! I'm in my final semester now... Been a long road but it's totally possible! Wishing you lots of luck. ^^

slimeyflowers

Thank you! It's really tough for me but I relish in the chance. Didn't except so much writing to be involved but it is what it is.

You are right, I'm so physically tired and my chest really hurts. But I did it for two reasons.

I absolutely adore my friend Gill, we talked at length about the passion we have for art and characters. Being able to see the designs and concepts they can come up with by providing direction to other artists. That's an amazing feat and I celebrate that. I can't be more proud and humbled. I'm doing this because I want to wholehearted help Gill but I will not accept being an enabler.
It's the right thing to do. I started this because I believe Gill, with the information I had and my previous knowledge I had ever reason to. I still believe Gill because at the end of the day it doesn't really matter how it happened. What really matters is fixing the damage caused. Everyone can theorize what happened and you know what that's perfectly justifiable. They have every right to do so and that's not something I'd ever get in the way of. It's important that everyone that was affected to get some kind of closure and Gill is able to get the help they need, whatever that might be.

I know you're watching Gill, don't worry about me. I'm a really tough person, okay. Be safe, I will be here if you want to reach out.
