@Jove has been lying for years abt so very many things, including having terminal brain cancer, for reasons I do not kno Here r receipts
I mean, the weird horoscopes are also ripped from Tumblr; but I thought everyone kinda knew that. And I hate to be that guy but like. Some of those claims of theirs do seem spectacularly outlandish. Like "my uncle works at Nintendo" outlandish. How long has the lying been perpetuating? I'm not part of the server, so I guess I'm caught a little out of the loop.
Weird horoscopes? I'm missing smth I can provide screenshots of how she lied if u want, she's like. Skilled. She paces out her fake life events over extended periods of time, for instance. The surgery image she used was cropped and I think recolored a bit so it didn't show up when I tried to reverse image search on google. She tells 'em real good.
Horoscopes referring to the profile posts they make here on kintsugi. And wow. Talk about spinnin' a yarn; they're knitting wholesale sweaters over here.
Jesus. I’m absolutely sickened. I considered her a friend, and I am fucking furious at us being lied to like that—not just for my sake, but for everyone’s. I’d love to not believe it, but this is completely unambiguous deception. Seriously, why the actual FUCK would someone lie about shit like this?? It’s just...cruel. God. Fuck that.
As a sort of uninvolved bystander (have not, far as i recall, interacted with them?) ....those aren't even good, believable lies? Like, the uterine transplant thing is SO out there because the entire procedure is (STILL) incredibly dicey even when performed on a cis woman. plus of course the 'can't reject organs mutation' that's physically impossible if you have a functioning immune system. There is no single mutation or gene in charge of rejections and the amount of things you'd have to do to knock the rejection out completely would mean you'd have to remove your entire immune system, or at least knock it down some serious pegs, like immunosuppressiva do, at which point I think any doctor with a functioning sense of ethics would refuse to a do a transplantation that's not life saving because of the infection risk in the aftermath.
She was claiming to have cancer too, I think that's what she's referring to with the "lack of cellular death" I think I do remember being a bit suspicious about the 'I am deadpool' bit but like, I don't know, nature is weird as fuck so who even knows. Medical shit isn't my wheelhouse so I didn't think about it too much. But like, they all look really obvious when you put them here all in a row, but like cA said, it was spread out and pretty well done in the discord
Nah, I'm pretty sure she claimed those as her own. Let me see if I can find the quote. Edit: here it is
@TheOwlet but like, knowing those are unbelievable claims requires knowing abt uterine transplants/organ rejection or being suspicious enough to look into it I'm gonna make a gross analogy Spoiler: Piss if ur friend presents to u a glass of lemonade apropos of nothing and wants u to try their recipe u probably take a sip. Maybe u make a polite noise and secretly dump it down the sink when they're not looking bc it tastes weird. U probably assume that weird flavor is from the pretty sprigs of herbs in the glass or some other benign thing they mixed in. U probably don't question when they say they squeezed the lemons themself that morning, and nod along when they talk abt the crazy old woman at the farmer's market. The never went to the farmer's market, there is no old woman, and this is Minute Maid lemonade from the downstairs fridge with some lavender and mint and parsley and their own piss mixed in but u probably don't even consider ur friend would casually do smth like that. Like, can u identify store bought lemonade by taste? Do u kno what human piss tastes like? This analogy isn't perfect but do u get what I'm getting at.
Yeah, this. That said, I’m not active in the Discord, so I didn’t hear the whole “my body can’t reject organs” thing (which would’ve made me pretty damn suspicious, admittedly) or the uterine transplant. All I knew, from what she told me and posted in her threads, was that she was 1. in a band and 2. had brain cancer. Or, well, so she claimed. But yeah, the lies were spread out enough to be fairly believable. And like...I think there’s an element of not wanting to disbelieve her, in a way? Not consciously, necessarily, but it’s a heinous enough lie that I suspect a lot of us—myself included, tbh—were less suspicious than we perhaps should’ve been in hindsight, specifically because it’s so fucked up to lie about that. (At least, that’s how I feel. YMMV.)
Mmhm. Even after I'd all but confirmed she didn't have a band and read multiple articles abt uterine transplant I didn't have more than an uneasy feeling she might be lying abt the cancer. And THEN my friend found the original surgery picture. And even after that it didn't occur to me she'd be lying abt the small things too, like sketching, until a whole ass nother person was like hEY WAIT A SECOND Also there was a pt she said she got inspiration for her lyrics from all of us, which was a cute addition. EDIT: there's also prolly a thing where like, u just get used to someone saying incredible things
I mean, i freely admit that my bullshitmeter is finely tuned because my main tumblr blog is 'answer people's questions about biology/debunk nonsense' so i absolutely would have gone 'hey wait a fucking second' and started asking for Details because it would have lept out at me as extremely fishy for a whole number of reasons But y'know i have a degree in this stuff so it's very much like someone trying to brag about their military career to someone who's actually had a military career.
Same. Hi everyone, it's been a year since I last posted here and I'm back from the grave to say what the fuck
