Hi!

I know right now may not be the best time to say this, but I'm kind of still processing how fast this all happened. As someone who likes to look over artists' past work esp my fav works daily and just suddenly noticed that they're almost all gone: twitter, instagram, and tumblr. It frustrates me that not only has this situation affected you, but how it really takes one selfish and inconsiderate person to ruin everything for others. I truly hope that you can heal from this and maybe we might see those pictures again, but this is just soo much to process. Just love and support for you <33333 🥹🫶😭🫶🫶🫶🫶

Hi. I’ve privated a lot of my work on tumblr and Instagram, so they’re not gone forever. I still have a lot of positive memories with them so I didn’t want to delete them. I wanted to keep all the nice comments and support I’ve gotten over these past few years.. I might unarchive them sometime in the future when I’m more okay with it being looked at. Twitter, I had no choice but to delete it, especially ones with dick, jason, and Peter Parker. My brain freaked out a little bit from seeing evidence of the person saving my art and making fake clip files with them. Logically, I am aware deleting my old art in response is stupid.

But it wasn’t limited to just comic art, it was other interests I had too which was really uncomfortable that someone would go to the extent of pretending they like other stuff I liked. They would also paraphrase tweets I’ve made about my personal life onto their own twitter. That just isn’t okay.

Every interest I’ve ever fallen in love with meant a lot to me. This is probably not publicly known information since I’m relatively private, as a depressed autistic person, a lot of who I am is what I end up liking. My friends and relatives describe me as dressing up like a cartoon character, because everything I like is so visibly obvious. I become utterly consumed in my favorite things. Suddenly, it feels like all of my control was taken away from me. My interests collected over the years were no longer just mine, it was someone else’s because they decided to lie and it was easier to continue lying. I don’t know how much was saved. There was a screenshot of a message with over 8+ of my art works sent excluding the fake files.

I don’t have control over it. The impersonation of my identity and my life experiences.

But I do have control over who gets to see what I put out in the future. I could probably write this better but I’ve rewritten a lot of things within these two days. Rewritten posts over and over so it sounds less aggressive, less hurt, less like I am trying to call for a witch hunt and more just taking extra precautions. I don’t think I have the energy to rewrite this to seem less vulnerable/pathetic.

I want to apologize to everyone who hoped I’d keep my past art public. I know how it feels. I’ve been fans of artists who just blew up their account one day and never came back. I only privated them on tumblr and Instagram. That’s all I can do. Honestly, I’m hoping a part of my brain just forgets some of this happened since depression does come with memory loss.. This post is now too long.. but I hope it gives some insight for what’s happening on my side of the brain. I appreciate all the support so far.

If you see me acting a little weird on twitter, I’m just trying to regain a sense of control over my identity.

I've received the new ask. Thank you.

The impersonator also goes by Ace / Angel. He is 24 which is way too grown to be doing this kind of stuff. I thought he was around minor/ young adult age so I wanted to give him a chance.

His ao3 is racerjay and used to be @aceuwing on twitter.

I recognize a couple of people interacting with him from my mentions. I'm sorry to say that he has lied to you for however long.

I'm open to people asking for screenshot evidence in DMs before blocking the ao3 account. I've been sent screenshots by people in discords he was in and by moderators. This was posted on 1/04/2024.

I'm updating this because I did not know he went by other names. This is just a precaution for moderators who may have a person join their discord under these other names. I would not ask anyone for personal information outside of my main 3 (twitter, tumblr, instagram).

apparently the imposter also collected people’s personal info (names and addresses) while pretending to be you. and for some reason sent out a picture of their own face. or at least someone’s face.

Can anyone come forward to verify this..? I do have the selfie someone sent me.

#the selfies has been reverse searched by the person sending the ask and myself.#there are no other results #last post for a while. i think. i hope......?#sorry for the spam.. its one thing to impersonate me. if he has been collecting addresses and names under a fake disguise of selling merch #that is a violation for me and people he collected personal data from.

Good morning 🙏🏼

I want to thank everyone their support with reblogging my stuff over the years and reblogging some of the context of the situation.

Tumblr and Instagram is filled with the most supportive people I’ve ever had the chance of meeting. The last time something like this happened, I didn’t have much support, not even from people I thought were close to me. It took me a year or two to be okay with being perceived again in fandoms. So I’m very grateful for everything.

I just wanted to post that I appreciate all of the asks and I’ve been reading all of them. I actually get anxious I’m spamming everyone too much so I probably won’t reply to everything. Please don’t feel pressured to support me financially, there’s is a free option on patreon to follow. I’ll post future project plans and occasional updates because I still love comics and I still love DC/Marvel. I do enjoy having people following along for my art/reading journey so I would always be okay with people just following for free. My brain is telling me this post is too long now so I will go 🙏🏼😭

#my brain to me: what in the retired YouTuber ass type post.. (screams) ok #I just received a lot of anons about the situation and I wanted to clarify it’s okay!!#I know the usd conversion rate is crazy… so I’ll try to wrangle my head to post some stuff publicly. I had a friend who supported me from #brazil.. I was like what! ily but if it’s breaking bank please don’t do it!!!#I also didn’t want people sending me asks thinking I didn’t read it.. listen I’ve been a fandom lurker for a while. yes I do get sad when #people don’t reply to my asks… because I’m like I want to know your answer so bad #sorry I’m not doing a very good job replying 😔 I’ve actually never had a fandom blog of this level #I’ve never gotten more than 5 asks over the 3+ years of tumblr usage..#I’m also an ultra perfectionist where I’ll reread what I wrote 2–5 times before posting. yeah it’s a bit crazy! if you send me a list of #recommended comics before I will probably read every single one and then reply 7+ months later…#😭😭😭#let me not ramble more 👍🏼#going to go get breakfast

HEY!! I just wanna say your art is fantastic and I’m so so so glad i found out about it through here, your Harley design is so whimsical and fun.

I totally understand your decisions regarding publicly sharing your art after today, but do you have an inprnt shop or anywhere else you’re currently selling anything?? I would absolutely buy a print of your Selina pic 🤠🤠

👀 How did you know… I uploaded her last week

#maleinbox #they finally let me in..

Just caught up on what’s been happening and just… Yikes.

I just wanna say that I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s gross and invasive and so very sinister. The fact that you’re still willing to continue to do what you love even after the experience has been so soured by such a selfish person is admirable.

I want you know that you’ve got so many people behind you and that when I’m able to afford to do so I won’t hesitate to support you <3 you’re very talented and such a wonderful person and it sucks that you have to go to such lengths to protect yourself.

Everything else is quite messed up… but continuing drawing part is quite easy. There are so many things to love in the world, especially in comics. I really appreciate it!

I’ll try to put some posts for free viewing on patreon sometime when I’m feeling more okay about it. Feel free to follow for free! I don’t really mind.

I understand it. Especially those who live in countries where USD conversion really rough.

Edit: this may be harder for me to do after finding out he has been saving my art and making fake clip studio files to lie to other people about making art. I don’t think I will be comfortable sharing future information on brushes I use or anything like that. Currently I can only associate drawing with possible theft. I don’t want my art saved for that reason. I will try to see how I feel in one months time but this is my current update.

hey, rc, do you mind just posting this?

hi! for those who didnt see my retweet, my name's ruin/ruina. malenjoyer (the real one here) and i have been friends since 2019 thereabouts.

to jayce and people who continue to support him: there is no conspiracy or alt account. there is no "this is actually someone else posting and lying." i can pin point to several drawings of his that have come out of conversations or jokes with me; i can give you timeline stuff. i can give you all the damn proof you need to know jayce is lying. there have been instances of sharing batman media, like the rogues podcast, that came because of me and being gushy about scarecrow.

but i gotta piece to say and me saying it on my blog won't really make it to your ears so.

my friend rc is an amazing person. he really is.

he tries so hard to be a good person and he is. he is kind hearted and listens to people. he gives his friends everything he can and receives just as much love. he's an amazing friend; hes funny and intelligent as all get out. he is fun to be around and has the most insightful advice you can ask of anyone. he's passionate about his interests. he throws himself wholly into the things he loves and it is so beautiful to see. he truly genuinely is one of the most real people you will ever meet. and i am truly, truly blessed to have his friendship in my life.

and it makes me mad, jayce, that you have seen him as someone to use. that you have the audacity to take my friend's identity and pretend to be him. you cannot begin to comprehend the amazing kind of person rc actually is. just because an online figure has a very private life does not mean you have right to pretend to be him.

it's devastating to watch him hurt and try to figure out how to navigate being stalked and used; it infuriates me. and i gotta know: for what purpose? for clout?

hey, jayce and co, quick question:

who drew this? what characters are they?

no points for guessing! this is an unpublished malenjoyer commission/wip for me! *my* oc and her dad. that he made for me months ago.

in case youre curious! ^ theres what she looked like before i asked for revisions. while we were on call! i have no shame in posting my discord user but for HIS privacy, i will block his out. but know, its not you jayce.

because try as you might to convince people you're my friend, there is so much more proof that you're not him. rc wouldn't do this kinda shit.

do you know what integrity is, jayce? you should look it up and get some.

rc has a private life and to use his private life as a way to gain your own following/friends/whatever is awful. its cruel. its traumatising. its awful. you're a piece of shit. you're an absolute piece of shit and rc might be too nice to say fuck you but im not.

fuck you. leave him alone.

ily 😭😭😭 MY RIDE OR DIEE

#long post #also… check out rogues podcast. send him your money too if you like his work

Absolutely plug that shit!!! You're right, this dude's trying to fuck shit up for you, might as well make a bit more money off of it. It's sad to see you go, but i'll definitely be saving your patreon. Your art is phenomenal, and I sincerely appreciate you sharing all you have with us. Take care man!

🫡 was a bit nervous posting that last one because all I could hear was BOOOO sell out 🍅🍅🍅 I think you can join as a free member now. I might make some stuff free to look at.. in the future who knows!

Hi I’m sorry for bothering you, i hope everything is okay, that situation seems awful 🫂 I was just wondering if we could have a little bit of clarification, when you say no more public art, does that mean you’re shutting down your account? Deleting all your stuff? Not posting anything new?

Sorry again! I am just a little lost on the details of that one

Not deleting anything but I won't be posting anything new. I might open commissions here and there because I'm currently unemployed.

Edit: Since this might be repetitive stalking, I will private all of my art.

You can check for any commission openings here. Or you can come back next month and see me do stuff on patreon because if someone is trying to ruin my life, I should at least plug something right...

#when i first wrote this reply i sounded so irritated but the idea of plugging my kofi and patreon in the middle of all this is kind of super #funny so. my adhd. i forgot i'm supposed to be angry. anyways probably this is probably my last post here. you can be my glucose guardian i #if you want.

I'm sorry jayce has really ruined things for everyone, and most especially you... as someone from a server with them, it feels extra scummy to remember that jayce had said they'd be opening a shop soon (selling charms and stuff). I hope they never dare to actually profit off of stolen art. I hope you're surrounded by supportive friends while you're on break, and I hope you don't lose love for your art even if you don't post publicly anymore!

I was actually going to open a shop this summer and I thought about all the different ideas I could do that would be funny/cute. I was even going to pick up runs so I can get to know characters better before I sell any merch of them. I won't be doing that anymore, sorry.

Thank you. I am lucky to have good friends in real life and online friends of over 5 years.

Not to cause more distress but. I'm seeing someone in a server I'm in say that Jayce is doubling down and claiming that you're doing all this to throw off antis and that it really was you (malenjoyer) on all those servers 😭

Yes, it was leaked to me a bit earlier in the day that he is saying my initial post is a coverup…

I’ve already been sent the evidence I needed to prove that he has been pretending to be me by multiple people, including people who are in servers with him. Though I could always use more.

Either way, I hope he and everyone who believes him is happy that I will no longer be posting public art because of this. 👍🏼

Everything is this person’s fault. I don’t need this in my life.

I've verified that the accounts sent to me are linked to the impersonator, jayce, by performing a server ban using my own discord.

778297461599895593 725647622001393736

Are both of his discord IDs.

I used carlbot but you can use any bot that allows pre ban of users. I'm still uncertain how to proceed in the future with this incident. For my mental health, I'm unsure if I am willing to post fanart publicly anymore after this.

Keep in mind, I know it seems like I'm overreacting, but I've already dealt with obsessive/stalker behavior before. I don't think I really want to do it again or deal with something similar, after I've tried so hard to recover from it and it seems like I have not recovered from it fully.

I don't want to take responsibility of activity of someone else pretending to be me for possibly almost a year.

I'm not really sure. Thank you for all the moderators that helped me out and the anons who reached out to me to provide information. I don't want anyone involved to feel like they participated in pushing me over the edge with this decision. I think it would hurt me more if I found out later or if I found I was suddenly responsible for a bunch of things I didn't do.

I do not use discord for fandom and I never will. Thanks for everyone's help.

just saw your recent posts and omg i am SO sorry you're going through this. i was in a discord server with jayce and I became wary of him when I came across his older art where he tried emulating your style very closely. his profile is now gone so I have no way of reaching out to him but I do hope he somehow eventually apologizes to you for causing this distress 😞

I have gained access to his discord ID, which I may publicly post and ask moderators of bigger DC discords/ ship centric discords who are aware of this situation to ban his ID, which cannot be changed and is linked to his account. I will keep it on all my social media profile for the rest of time if this is how it is.

Some moderators have reached out to me that he may have been doing this for over a year already and befriending people under my identity which is horrible for me AND everyone who trusted him because they thought that was me.

If this continues, I may paywall my future work because to me, the more I learn, the more this impersonation feels like stalker behavior. The reason I don’t join fandom discords is because last time I did it, I got a bunch of stalkers who would monitor my online activity regularly. I’ve only recently come out of my shell and this happens… 😭😭

I am not asking anyone to break friendship with the impersonator.

I am asking for the protection of my identity and my image.

If the bare minimum is not a decision you can make, as moderators, I don’t consent to my art being shared in servers where you can’t at the bare minimum respect me.

It is hurtful to know that a person who is trying to be or pass as me, is unable to tell the truth. I have always been and strived to be a truthful person. This is incredibly damaging to my image.

Setting some boundaries...

if you follow me or interact with me on any of my social media accounts, please read this post. images should have a text description included at the bottom left.

I never join fandom discord servers. this has been a self-created rule for a couple of years now.

I never introduce myself as RC/malenjoyer.

I'm not mad or encouraging any form of witch-hunt to take place. So, if you do find someone impersonating me in your server or in your messages, please just let them know to quit it and it's not cool to do such a thing.

I'm very grateful to all the people who have reached out to figure out what was going on. Again, I would prefer if there was no harassment was involved. Just talk it out, express your hurt, and figure out if this news is okay to you or not.

I will leave my DMs open for a little bit if any moderators want to reach out or if people want to verify the interaction they've had. If it's via discord, its 100% not me. Please keep in mind that I will be busy these next few days, so I may not reply immediately.
