Does Marl work? Where does he work? I ask because it's entirely possible that the only reason they keep him around (besides blackmail and other consequences) is because he's been the only member of the household with a steady income this entire time.

I know there's been significant crowdfunding income in the last few years, but there has to be some material reason they're keeping Marl around because every one of these people are complete and total sociopaths. They cannot possibly be doing it out of love or friendship or whatever by this point. If it was easy to simply kick him out you'd think they'd have done it long ago as the reputation gains from doing so would be huge.

Marl is unemployed I think, he just tends the Floraverse store and does house work.

It's an almost poetic inversion of the ideal NEET life.

Marl mentioned selling the videos in the logs.

I would bet money that his job is involves making and selling dog porn.

Just found out the server went down for good, I got out a while back but before I did I ran a program to back up everything (including the private channels I had access to at the time). It's from november 17th so it's missing a few months of logs and some of the channels didn't get backed up (none of the important ones are missing though) and I don't know if anyone actually cares to go through it, but I figured it might be useful to someone. To read the logs, go to https://dht.chylex.com/build/viewer.html and upload the file. MEGA link: https://mega.nz/#!7SAUEA5C!SEdvRg3jTZLF_MegIQ1fd9Xq7Q8N24jdkpaeRQZCi0c

What I wouldn't give for the last three days of that server's general chat.

Edit: Wow, that's ~750k messages.

Theoretically, what could Glip do to make a comeback? Does she try to keep Floraverse running or abandon it? Art is the only thing can do and her pride won't stop her from making (profitable) art.

For a while he worked at Pottery Barn, I believe, but I want to say he quit before too long. He literally does just cook, clean, and take care of the organizational side of the art business for Glip. When they did conventions still I think he would take home some of the money from that, but since it's been ages since their last public appearance I have no fucking clue how he's getting money, if at all. Marl also did most of the writing for Floraverse too.

If I had to guess I would say that Glip and Eevee are both completely dependent on Marl for food and housework, and Glip relies on him to take care of everything that's not drawing, which is one reason why she can go so long and hard doing it. It seems clear that neither gives a shit about the dogfucking, but even if they wanted to get rid of him to salvage their collective reputation they wouldn't be able to live the life they do now. She would also have to legally divorce him which can get expensive when you're a self-employed artist.

A better question is why Marl hasn't left yet, honestly. I guess he gets to live rent-free and work relatively little, but holy shit living in perpetual cuckoldry and devoid of your own creative projects just sounds miserable.

I'm probably gonna delete here soon since I said my two cents and tossed another voice in the ring re: PK exposing minors to porn, but before I do I wanna ask you guys something like, for serious real quick

I think we can all agree PK is a really fucked up person, who did a lot of really fucked up things to a really astonishingly high number of people. Unless they involve themselves or are actively, outspokenly defending PK, it'd be nice to leave old victims or PK's old friends out of this new drama. It's gotta be super stressful for some of them, especially considering the number of minors (or former minors) who probably have some level of trauma associated with PK, Marl, and Eevee.

Just saying, this is some really heavy shit that a lot of people have some bad experiences with. Try and lay off the people who are trying to stay out of it, just a little bit. We have enough evidence atm -- no need to stress out the people who are trying to move on.

I semi-agree. It's really difficult to tell who's genuinely shocked and disgusted by Glip's behavior and is cutting ties, and who's just posting by Glip's instructions in order to avoid trouble. I do hope everyone who is posting about cutting ties is thinking very carefully about what they are saying and how it looks from the outside, especially @ the people who are setting their accounts to Protected, etc.

 

[CallieMarie]

Glips too much of a narcissist and a dumbass to ask her friends to do this publicly. It makes her look super guilty when even the close friends are jumping ship.

i agree, especially with the friend statement. with people like gapow (who felt legitimate remorse and posted an apology to us and the victims), it would make no sense to be rude to them or harass them at all, especially given that some of them were honestly in the dark or given a superiority complex by glip- almost like how they would groom people. you have to realize that glip, marl, and eevee were all highly manipulative in their own ways (marl, who would act friendly and amiable; glip, who had high status and therefore more ground for praise; eevee, who had a certain way of twisting words for their own gain). if anything, some of the people might've been victims themselves, among gaslighting and having things force fed to them. were they in the right? no. but we all have to keep in mind that yes, some of them were minors when they met glip and co., and had their entire mindset warped. they must've seen glip as someone high and mighty, and having glip ripped away from them must've been like having your own god proven false, to be dramatic. of course they're in denial; of course they're hurting. they're wrong, and might end up lashing out, but we have to be at least a little understanding of the poor guys.

Honestly I feel like there's nothing she can really do. She threw away her DA account and her fans by extension and will most likely toss everything else. She can't change her style either because of how recognizable it is. And she can't change her personality.
Herself, her partners, and Floraverse's pedophilia/zoophilia is now out in the open for all to see. This is what people will know about PK and her works.

PK's fucked. If she had any pride, she wouldn't have gone on lock down, run from Twitter with a whimper and delete her DA account. She knew what she did wrong and has absolutely no guts to face it nor her fans.

He found two people who were willing to not only be complicit in his criminal activity, but financially support him as well. Sounds like a pretty good gig to a child grooming animal abusing sociopath.

 

[Phosphophyllite]

i know i'm probably late for this but i doodled gift art for Jimjam recently :0

i actually didn't know who purplekecleon was until a few months ago when i asked a friend for webcomic reccommendations and they said floraverse. i told them i'd read it later but i ended up procrastinating (probably a good thing in hindsight)
i then completely forgot about PK until i saw the callout on tumblr and it mentioned floraverse and i was curious because "hey, isn't that that webcomic my friend wanted me to read" and it brought me to this thread

We do not delete accounts. But if you decide to quit, just quit quietly.

I agree with you as well. I like the screencaps of all this stuff and commenting on the stans and people breaking ties but as for actively harassing them, nah it's not necessary or needed. Personally i'd like for the screencaps to be for the serious people who are plugging their ears just to laugh. I hope this doesn't sound contradictory.

i feel like she'd draw porn for desperate furries on FA who don't give a shit about who's drawing the art as long as it contains their kinks

either that, or she'd force eevee to draw her next comic due to his art style being drastically different to hers

She would have to start over even on FA. Her watchers are largely inactive/dead accounts given the lack of profile shouts or other activity. It doesn't matter how high your numbers are if the people following you don't buy art or don't use FA anymore.

ETA: She also put herself in a stylistic hole. That shit might appeal to Tumblerinas and Tumblr furries, but most furries favor anatomy that's more humanoid (human with a tiger head attached).

Let's be honest, all Glip needs to do is to stop giving a fuck and go back to drawing just porn. A good chunk of her audience is just here for the porn and doesn't give a shit if she's messing with dogs, hell I'm sure she would get a bigger audience if she went back to drawing all the creepy shit she did before. Get more of that sweet patreon cash too seeing as patreon barely cares what people put on it as long as they get their cut.

Thankfully she and her group are too deep in trying to be perfect little SJW angels to ever go back to that even though everyone and their mother knows that is just what they want. I can't see Glip being ever able to go back to Floraverse but I've been surprised before.
