it did definitely feel that way. you got defensive really quickly when i approached you just trying to explain, you immediately went, “these are two different characters,” when I already knew they were a redesign of my own just because of the color pallet, the same exact placement of the peonies, and the similar body markings. the only real difference was connecting the body markings to the tail and adding some head markings. 

i approached you very calmly and wanted to make you aware that you were using a stolen character rather than allowing you to commission more art of said stolen character, wasting money. i’ll happily talk to the person you trade with, but i didn’t appreciate your defensive responses when i just asked you where you got the character from and showed you my character’s reference.
