Content Warning: TW for Religion, Abuse, Gaslighting, Manipulation, Racism, Islamophobia, pedophilia and Threats and depictions of violence

Introduction:
This is a warning post for Tumblr user Emberthedragon (Mod Ember on Spyrothedragon) who is a manipulative, abusive, racist, transphobic pedophile enabler who refuses to change her behaviour when privately confronted by others. She has a history of publicly blacklisting people who confront her, extorting and scamming artists, and stealing/tracing art.
Ember/Berry/Finn is a very well known and popular artist in the Spyro, Carebear, Invader Zim, and Weirdfur communities, and uses those communities to gather support and spread lies about others, this call out is to show her true nature. We ask that you do not harass or interact with Ember/Berry or her friends and girlfriend. We simply are spreading this so you know to not commission/purchase her characters/art and to block.
The following is a further explanation of what is going on, but basically, Ember/Berry has been emotionally manipulating others around her, and can be described, in short, as an abusive person. She is highly racist, and has gone to the lengths of suicide to guilt her victims. This is not digging up receipts from years ago, and in fact, all of this is very recent. She is not worth trying to argue with, as she has been told, and has not changed at all. It is best you don’t give her any attention, and run away as soon as possible. You should not be defending a white cis girl when it comes to racism, when it comes directly from several PoC and trans people. She has used non white people and trans people to defend herself, and refuses to acknowledge her behaviour on grounds “my x friend said it was OK”. She is a dangerous person, and reduces anyone who calls her out on her abusive nature as someone seeking drama or a “bully”. These are all serious red flags, and she has a blacklist of over 20 people who she has “started drama” with. This is not normal. No one writes a callout for some random person.
Her offenses:
Abuse/gaslighting
Manipulation
Name smearing
Ableism
Racism
Transphobia
Pedophilia
Incest enabling
Art theft
Design theft
Money scamming

Lagnus
Hi, for the sake of this call out you can call me Lagnus. I wasn’t friends with ember for long but I became fast friends with her and bonded over a shared interest, I quickly considered her a best friend.
After I didn’t 100% take her side in a fight she picked with one of my other friends over literal kin drama in 2018, she claimed I was demonizing her and making her look bad on purpose, even pulling out that she found out I “made her look bad on her anniversary!” when she was sending these at 1 am on one of the few nights I had my boyfriend visiting from across the country, of which she knew.

dusks girl 11/22/18
hey [Lagnus] um…. next time u tell group chats, esp ones full of my friends, abt the ddlg thing id rly appreciate if u told the whole story ;-; it kinda rly sounded like i lied abt it on purpose to make [M] look bad when in reality i didnt actually know what i was saying was untrue
some of the ppl from [M] chat asked me abt it and had me tell them the full story n it kinda reallt sucked to find that out on my anniversary
no hard feelings or anything, just.. idk… pls tell the full story next time
dusks girl 11/22/18
it just hurt cuz my friends were confused n thought i had lied deliberately to make [M] look bad when that wasnt the case and i told u that ;-;
dusks girl 11/22/18
plus, ppl in that chat already dont like me/hate mefor whatever reasons, and i really.. dont need more things spread abt me…[end of transcription]
Here is the rest of the convo, it’s important I just want to be neat.
After this, I apologized and moved on and then finished art for her and she took it, blocked/unfollowed me on everything and when I asked her about it she told me things I had trusted her with that my abuser said to get me to leave.
Months later I had the nerve to contact her because a friend told me she had been telling people I lied and said “some.. Not so true things…” about her. I personally don’t lie because I have childhood trauma where I was forced to lie about the events happening with varying types of violence, Ember knows this. She is fully aware. But in this conversation where I confronted her she claims I’m lying about how I try to never ever lie, and openly mocks me for it.
EDIT 10/4/19:
Hi, Lagnus again! I am part of a system as part of my DID. My Alter Ex handled talking to Berry after this whole ideal due to me not being physically able to, during this time Berry tried to manipulate my literal protector to side with her and claimed I was awful despite him knowing the whole situation.
Here is her trying to tell Ex that my memories, of which he clearly remembers too, are false because she’s “not like that!”. Using the testimony of people who also hate and stalk me against me to shut my alter up is vile.
Berry is aware of me being Deaf by the way, it is a huge part of my identity and literally I talk about it every chance I have and she knew me for ages so her leaning on me “not hearing” is her using my disability as a scapegoat.
EDIT 10/5/19: Hi Berry, as I am now made very aware that you are checking my blog because you changed blanketgf right as you found out I knew about it 4 or so hours ago as a friend told me, I would like to remind you of your promise to Ex:
Please stop trying to use multiple side blogs to make your victims believe something else is your main so you could get away with being able to view their blogs without the threat of statcounters. This is low, and you do not deserve the right to monitor your victims.
EDIT:4/1/2020
My name never was Schezo. But thank you, for that. And like I told you, it felt you were only keeping me around for the art trade as I have caps of you shit talking me while I worked on it.
Umbra
Hi, for the sake of this callout you can call me Umbra (xe/xem only, Ember). A lot of what I’ll talk about overlaps with racism, since most of her abuse towards me is racially motivated. A while back Ember and Dusk started a Spyro server to filter out the pedophiles in fandom, and wanting to find more spyro fans I joined. It is worth knowing before I begin: I had recently been the center of very toxic attention from another fandom and was forced to explain basic racism to many strangers if I wasn’t being harassed or slandered or called racial slurs, so my patience for racism was really low at this time! I explained this sentiment frequently in the server but they both ignored it when it became relevant.
Ember has accused me of being abusive when I never tried to change her or manipulate her, all I did was refuse to allow her to control my emotions or actions. She has power because she is white, cis, and when I left her borderline cult of a server she isolated me from a lot of people I considered friends by smearing my name behind my back. She accused me of being predatory in the server when “all I did was talk about racism” to her, despite also offering advice, help and money before I stopped trying when many people outright ignored me. Her actions are not something a “victim” does. I don’t have screencaps for most of these, I didn’t expect to need them like this, but I swear on my reputation I’m telling the truth.
When I left Ember accused me of being aggressive when in the same breath she said all I did was “talk about racism”. I should not have to explain how a white woman crying wolf when called racist is textbook racism and a method of avoiding accountability for the harm she caused. I told someone in the server that something was racist, and rather than spoon feed them the answer I told them to google it when asked why. I was tired of already being everyone’s personal database on entry-level racism awareness with google at everyone’s fingertips, I expressed this multiple times. This was then used to vilify me as aggressive.
screencap of discord:
so i think it could have just been equally all of out faults,; me blowing things our of preportion n then . idk what lapis did bc i dont remember other than them seeming aggressive and assuming things abt ppl
n i mean there were instances they called me n others out that? i didnt think they seemed aggressive with. and then danny calls ppl out n he doesnt seem aggressive. thats what im confused abt rn
idk but i dont have screenshots to back anything up so [end of transcription]
I don’t share this often because I like my privacy (in fact if you know who I am and found out through this, do not talk to me about it. I keep this information private for my own reasons): I’m ethnically jewish and saw Ember call someone “a jew”, something I’ve seen many jewish friends and peers express discomfort with. My life doesn’t revolve around Ember like she loves to believe, so I was unaware she was jewish when I kindly told her to avoid calling people that. When she explained she was ethnically jewish I immediately backed off, but to others she accused me of being antisemitic for “talking over her” despite apologizing. The fact that she called my earnest attempt at shutting down what I wholly believed was accidental bigotry antisemitism is hilarious, considering she shuts down jewish practices because they’re not christianity.
And Ember getting uppity because Lagnus talked about her less-than-positively in the server is hypocritical because in the Spyro server she would @ people who didn’t follow the rules she added at her own whim.
screencap of discord:
Cutest puppy 8:26 pm
post an intro to the #intros channel and keep it within 16 lines of text pls!
Cutest puppy 9:54 pm
be nice to @cutest puppy shes rly small and is an annoyingly sensitive baby so pls be nice
ugliest snail 9:55 pm
shes not annoying but shes my fav and i love her and ill be sad if anyones mean to her [end of transcription]
Ember @ me in front of everyone to keep my intro within 16 lines even though everyone had mega huge intros in the server (following the leaders, both of them, funny enough). I responded that mine were within the limits, to which she responded “on mobile”. Poor quality guidance aside, she then posted this in the rules following the conversation. I was not rude or angry with her, I was confused and tired, and that doesn’t warrant posting an entire fucking rule to kiss her ass! And she wonders why I hardly spoke in the server besides to call out racism that no one else was.
Ember has bypassed my blocks after I told her to stay away from me, claiming to “leave her alone” after I tried to speak with friends on why I didn’t want friends of hers interacting with me. I keep hearing more and more on how she lies about me. She’s making me, a sexual abuse survivor who goes out of xyr way to make spaces safer for kids, a predator just by being in vicinity of teenagers. She claims I get into kin drama when all I do is openly mock it (especially the kind she gets into), and is fine with lumping everyone (in this callout and then some) as the same perpetrator for true or false offenses.
Here’s also berry wanting to fake her own death to avoid accountability:

but ive considered it to get my actual stalker off my ass anyway [end of transcription]
Berry recently sent anons to one of her ex friends claiming he “deserved to be burned at the stake”, “wasn’t slick” and was “knocking off a/her design”

She also recently got caught stalking one of her past victims, having been stalking through its blog enough to accidentally follow on mobile!
screencap of discord:
I dont understand why she’d follow me and unfollow me like wow i guess that you were looking at my blog huh.
It makes sense i couldnt see what her blog was bc she has me blocked.
So i just thought it was a new empty blog…
I didnt think it was anything important, and my url is pkmn related so…. Jfc
wait
its still in my notifs [end of transcription]

A bit ago Berry vagued on her blog mocking her victims for being scared of her and complained that people mentioned her being big in the spyro fandom was adding to their fear of speaking against her, and then mocked the people who genuinely thought her actions were vile

anonymous asked: You’re such a pussy you have to resort to vague posting lmao
You, who is on anon:
If u prefer me to namedrop people then thats on you
#this is the funniest and most hypocritical ask weve ever gotten #asks [end of transcription]
Upon seeing that she was claiming peoples claims weren’t valid against her I sent an off anon ask telling her that mocking her victims fear in her was shitty and that no matter what she said it wouldn’t change the fact that she abused the people she was mocking, said ask got a block and no response.
While it doesn’t really fall under these categories I want it to be known that Ember commissioned this guilt trippy art a while back (TW for blood/violence), and even personally drew this one! (TW for stabbing/blood/violence)
Spring
For the sake of this callout I will be using the name Spring. I was friends with Berry for several years until around (2017?) when she revealed her ugly true self to my friends and i.
During the period of friendship with her she would manipulate me and the others in her friend group in various ways, such as making a rule in her server to “be nice to me (Berry)”, or if she upset one of us in some way she’d immediately afterwards send a bunch of overly nice asks trying to act innocent and friendly.
The most disgusting example though, is after calling Umbra aggressive/scary for holding her accountable for racism, she tried to gaslight/manipulate me into believing she was in the right.
She would claim that the rest of her server was uncomfortable with Umbra but only provided examples of her and her girlfriends discomfort.
EDIT 07/14/2019:
Here’s an example of her half-assed self victimization:
screencap of discord:
[ from Berry’s previous message ] but im sorry for overreacting abt everything n im sorry some people in the server are sensitive in that way too
chubbyember Today at 10:50 PM
(meaning theres others uncomfy w lapis too)
but like idk what u want me to do abt it
just lmk what to do i guess? [ end transcription ]
“I’m sorry that other people don’t like racism being called out but it’s not just me, so I don’t look bad!” she says, of course not offering any evidence with her claims, but when I asked for specific examples of why other server members were uncomfortable, she only showed me extremely vague and brief screencaps of people agreeing with her (kissing her ass) that Umbra was being “aggressive and scary”.

Actually ember. I contacted you rather calmly because of your ongoing abuse that I went through(see above) but you went to my friend with this message to try to ruin my relationships and isolate me with things you know are false.

Mac, claiming someone is lying about being homeless is low. Even for you. Having your friends hound your victims for evidence of your abuse is ugly but hey, you wanted proof? Here you go!

also none of us said talking to lapis was traumatizing and i think its so funny theu said that [end of transcription]
Berry took a vague at multiple people and claimed it was 100% at her, and was a threat. Said vague was about two people that were not related to Berry at all. Also good to note, Lapis refers to Umbra of whom says that xe has told Berry to stop calling xem by that name
screencap of discord:
[Umbra] 3:47
maybe im just being an angry bitch but i think its worth noting that em still calls me lapis after i told her to stop [end of transcription]
Umbra: The “fuck you” comment is not sexually violent like she loves to claim that it is, and second, it was directed towards certain people I directly spoke to after the incident, that as of now are no longer in contact with her (that are my age, if its that important). I don’t have a reason to lie and spread drama. It took over a year for me to come to grips with what happened. Berry, if I’m lying, then why did you erase years of recovery effort almost overnight? You have way too many caps of my blog to say you don’t stalk me.
Ableism / Double Standards
screencap of tweet from user @pawmise, 4/19:

Me: oh, i ddint know, im sorry! Would u be able to teach me it?
Them: suddenly im mentally unwell (blocks me) [end of transcription]
screencap of text post on Berry’s blog:
men be like “i dont lie” *lies*
#[keysmash] #[paws emoji] #men and men aligned people are so dangerous and stupid #no trust for this lesbian!!! [end of transcription]
This post was about Lagnus who told her that due to heavy trauma it couldn’t lie, and she made it out to be Lagnus abusing her, but this is her mocking its trauma.
EDIT:4/1/2020
Hi Lagnus again, found out she further mocked me for my trauma regarding Lying. I cannot lie without losing front, triggering myself harshly, or becoming greatly suicidal. I was forced to lie about everything as a kid due to my trauma. She knows this. And yet.
I also would like to reiterate especially since the caps are present in this doc- I never pressured Ember to follow me. I asked her if she wanted me to unfollow her once I noticed she broke mutuals. Literally nothing more. This with how she flat out lied about and mocked my trauma to a mutual friend I am being light here when I say- I am furious.
END EDIT.
Berry willingly ignored Umbra’s trigger of Christmas, and even claimed that it was guilt tripping for xem to have that as a trigger, claiming that since Berry’s girlfriend, Dusk, is starving, Umbra cannot react to a trigger in a certain way (full text used in racism but also can be found here!)
screencap of discord:
(cont) thye only complained abt the couple things said abt them iirc. this was a really traumatizinf event for me and i dont remember them have any sympathy for cynder and i.
5: u mightve heard this from canon but cynder and i didnt know lapis had a christmas trigger. we did make an entire server for them and oliver so we could talk abt holidays where they couokdnt see it, but we had forgotten it was a trigger for lapis bc.. its hard to keep ul with 30+ peoples triggers. anyway, cyn n i had matching christmas icons n we thought nothing of it. nobody warned us or anything. then, danny, a person in the chat with an SU triggerm, asked us to see if lapis would change their icon. then lapis got pissed at cynder and went off on her for asking and left the server entirely. after that, cynder went thru her old messages n had remembered lapis had told her that christmas stuff makes them starve themself, which seems… kinda guilt trippy? n .. like a really insensitive thing to bring up to someone whos in a household who purposefully forces her to starve. (aka cynder is literally starving on a daily basis n this is mentioned somewhat often in chat, so im giving lapis the benefit of the doubt that they just missed this info) [end of transcription]
Umbra: Berry lied about me “remembering” starving myself over the event; I still struggle with starving myself at the sight of imagery and have trauma-induced fasts during that time of the year. What’s more, I had no clue about Dusk’s home situation, they were friends of friends and this was one of our first interactions. Once I learned I tried to offer advice, help, even money, but they ignored that outright and claimed I never cared for either of them.
Ember constantly ignored my triggers in chat and claimed I ignored triggers that were never placed in the blacklist to begin with. They make claims that I saw it because I posted it in the designated channels, but truth be told that was pure coincidence. No one came up to me until I lost my temper, which I do regret, but Dusk is claiming my tone implied a knife at their throat when really I was annoyed, tired, and irritated that they came to me about my icon when they had a suicide trigger as theirs, one that I constantly reminded them about. I spoke with the person distressed over this and apologized to them for my beef with Dusk and explained that if they came to me directly, I would not have batted an eye over helping them feel safe.
EDIT 07/14/2019:
Spring: To go off of Umbra’s point, I have another example of Berry (and Dusk, through her), villainizing Umbra for literally being triggered.
screencap of discord:
chubbyember Today at 10:49 PM
abt 5 i cant know how many times lapis told cynder but cynder has memory problems (like legitimate memory problems) and it scared her for lapis to act the way they did when all cyn asked was lapis to change their icon. Again that wasnt smh i was rly involved in so
i cant say much about it [ end transcription ]
Even if Berry wasn’t directly involved there’s no way she didn’t know about Umbra’s trigger and how severe it was. Dusk having memory problems is no excuse, especially when she was reminded SO many times about it but didn’t show any ounce of care. Of course Umbra was pissed when Dusk asked xem to change xer icon and rightfully so; once again Berry and Dusk calling a person of color “scary” after they both ignored Umbra’s triggers and then tried to act as if Umbra did the same thing is racism and ableism rolled up into one big staggering hypocrisy ball.
/EDIT
Racism and Christian Clownery:
This call out is written by several non-white persons and comments on experiences we had with Berry. Many times she has had comments about racial matters and topics that are not her place to share, and she has repeatedly made racist comments about non-white people who do not agree with her. She claims she has apologized for the below mentioned incidents but she has not, instead claiming them as personal attacks on her and even going so far as to claim that it's abuse to have less than positive reactions to these comments.
In regards to this whole section, please remember that Berry is white.
EDIT 4/1/2020
She follows pewdiepie on her private instagram. That speaks for itself.
EDIT 2/15/2020
Berry I don’t know how to tell you that as a white person that has called a mexican person a terrorist, you really REALLY shouldn’t be reblogging a post joking about a mexican character being a “racist xenophobe”
EDIT 10/2019: According to one of her victims testimony, Berry currently goes by or went by a Japanese name when she is in fact, white.

This isn't really religion bashing but back in September I had a breakdown and like. Basically a midlife crisis despite being 19 and I had a bad panic about religion and stuff and my beliefs. And when I finally felt comfy and like life was chilling out I was in the server and was like "hey sorry I haven't been around. I've been having it bad. But I think I'm finally recieved get like. Signs in life to chill out and calm down". And (berry) was like "oh that's good : ) " and I was like "yea and my mom's friends I was house sitting for gave me a keychain with the hamsa on it which made me feel a lot better and safer' and (Berry) strsight up was like "well. MY religion doesn't believe or support the hamsa, or mediums or anything so like. I personally don't support any of that but whatever makes you happy". Like bro I'm having a fucking breakdown atleast be nice
like i get that lapis cut out communication and that probably leads to some of the discomfort about them but they did so because they already tried communicating and felt like no one listened to them or respected what they tried to say, and honestly i can see their frustration if every single time theyve brought something up yall have tried to argue against or deny it then turn it into some sory of attack
so i guess the next step would be for you and the others involved in discord consider all this seriously and re angle your perspectives on lapis and being called out on your behavior, or otherwise come togehter with evidence of lapis actually “yelling for no good reason” to show us
chubby ember: okay
i apologized for the terrorism comment
i know its bad now and i didnt make it bc lapis is a person of color, before that instance ive said it to a lot to white people irl too but ive since stopped bc i realized its not smth to joke about
ive already said a lot of this was my problem of being paranoid and a baby and not brave enough to own up to things
and the “yelling for no reason” was just me not remembering the situation correctly. i dont remember matt arguing with lapis but neither i or lapis have evidence of the situation to my knowledge so u can just listen to them as they probably have a better memory and understanding of the situation
il reasses my views on lapis ?
sorry for all the trouble
Ember called Umbra a terrorist over a meme, and while we do not have the cap of her saying it, we do have caps of her claiming she didn’t know it was bad and that it wasn’t racially charged.
chubbyember: alright
i would get screenshots but they are too far back for discord to get them for me
on similar note do u have the ? terrorist drama screenshots ? bc i still dont know what thats about
bc i talked to canon very briefly abt it and we both think its the religion argument but the screenshots u sent me were me using the word terrorist in a way i shouldnt have
but like, i understand what ur saying n ill work on that? like. seeing ppl as aggressive
i feel like. idk. I understand me overreacting bc thats just me just theres other ppl who were also. having similar open onions. and i cant say anything in place for them
so i think it could have just been equally all of our faults,; me blowing things our of preportion n then . idk what lapis bc i dont remember other than them seeming aggresive and assuming things abt ppl
n i mean there were instances they called me n others out that? i didnt think they seemed aggressive with. and then danny calls ppl out n he didnt seem aggressive. thats what im confused abt rn
idk but i dont have screenshots to back anything up so
ill stop talking about lapis
thank u for being. levelheaded abt this n patient with me
volteer: i appreciate it too and thank you in return, and of course, i only want to help clear with communication and clear stress
i dont mean to drag this out further but its late (i think lapis is asleep as well) and i think we all need some rest before continuing trying to reach a conclusion to all this, so i’ll be in touch and i won’t leave it for long
apologies fort he short messages just im pretty wiped, i dont actually have the screenshot anymore since it’s also too far into discord’s history but i’ll check if lapis or canon does
Umbra: There was a time I found a cursed image and posted it in the spyro server, it was something stupid like crocs and sandals being worn at the same time. Weird but ultimately harmless. Ember goes on to say that my post was “terrorism”, and let me say, with the political atmosphere surrounding my ethnicities lately this is not a great thing to say! I do not have caps of the exact conversation but I do have time stamped vents.
EDIT 07/14/2019:
Spring: I’d like to draw attention to the last thing Berry says in her message in the screencap above, because I feel like it points out even more her racist double standard:
“thank u for being. levelheaded abt this n patient with me”
I am the person talking to her in this conversation (under the username volteer). I am white myself. And even though I was using the same stern but calm tone that Umbra had used while they were in the discord, Berry thanks me and only me for “being levelheaded and patient” with her. I am still telling her she’s being racist, but because it came from a white person, Berry did not feel threatened. Apparently a person of color saying the same kind of shit that I was can’t be considered levelheaded to Berry. Also, Umbra did not owe her or any other white server members their patience. No person of color should be expected to be patient with a white person being racist. And yet here she was, implying that Umbra was being illogically upset about Berry’s racist behavior.
/EDIT
This is her response: Another cap of her claiming she didn’t mean it in a racist or religious attack, and never apologized. She also in the screenshot refers to a friend that is white and is claiming that “Canon isn’t nearly as aggressive as (Umbra) about racism” which is because canon has the room to be neutral on racism they don’t deal with.
but yea could we clear up the terrorist situation bc that was never resolved n i keep being anxious abt it and like. i thought i knew whag situation u were talking abt (it had to do with my world religions class) but u said it had to do with me using the word terrorist in a bad way… so idk whats going on but id like to resolve it please
She wanted to resolve the terrorist joke situation because of her own anxiety, not the harm that it caused to the one she made it about.
chubbyember: Aaah yeah thank u so much…, here ima try to portion this up? to make things easier for myself but.
Re: Lapis: Uhh well like. in the spyro discord they never really talked unless it was to lash out or yell ay people? and it caused people to be scared of them. i was actually going to ask them to leave the server but after confronting a few other members, we all decided that they would lash out at us for asking them to leave. anyway, here are some instances off the top of my head?
1: i had referred to someone as “a jew” because thats how my family, half jewish, refers to other jewish people. this is also how steven (also a jewish person, in the server) refers to their family n themself, and lapis got upset with me for using the phrase “a jew” and steven got upset that lapis, a non-jewish person, was talking over steven and i. i think lapis apologized but i can’t remember
2: another instance was when matt was asking the server if they would be allowed to kin a dragon that was had skin that looked albinistic. lapis explained no, then got pissed at matt saying smthn along the lines of “i hate when white people always come to me about problems involving race/minority stuff.. im not ur token infobase and u need to do ur own research” smthn like that, and it scared matt n we were like “we… didnt ask u, u just. invited urself into a convo and yelled at us” n lapis apologized i think.
3: long story short, idk this is maybe a small one bc it was on anon, but my friend whos mixed (black/native) sent lapis an anon asking if spirit the horse was coded native and they went off on them. iirc lapis called them white in the post. (i know they did blame white ppl bein idiots for the anon while talkin in the chat) and it make my friend feel really sick
4: this is more personal to me and cyn but the who “some guy made a da/fa out of hatred for ember and posted screenshots of this discord” drama , lapis was the only one who didnt seem to give a .. care for cyn and i
(cont) thye only complained abt the couple things said abt them iirc. this was a really traumatizinf event for me and i dont remember them have any sympathy for cynder and i.
5: u mightve heard this from canon but cynder and i didnt know lapis had a christmas trigger. we did make an entire server for them and oliver so we could talk abt holidays where they couokdnt see it, but we had forgotten it was a trigger for lapis bc.. its hard to keep ul with 30+ peoples triggers. anyway, cyn n i had matching christmas icons n we thought nothing of it. nobody warned us or anything. then, danny, a person in the chat with an SU triggerm, asked us to see if lapis would change their icon. then lapis got pissed at cynder and went off on her for asking and left the server entirely. after that, cynder went thru her old messages n had remembered lapis had told her that christmas stuff makes them starve themself, which seems… kinda guilt trippy? n .. like a really insensitive thing to bring up to someone whos in a household who purposefully forces her to starve. (aka cynder is literally starving on a daily basis n this is mentioned somewhat often in chat, so im giving lapis the benefit of the doubt that they just missed this info)
Umbra is actually Jewish. Always has been, always will. And from Umbras account it’s been made apparent that xe apologized. According to other accounts, Umbra never used caps or otherwise aggressive text that would lead Ember to believe that xe is yelling at her, she merely perceived it as that due to Umbra being a nonwhite person calling her out on her racism. Umbra has every right to say that xe is not a database for your knowledge on racism- people of color are not your personal resource.
Someone sending an anon without context or knowledge of who it could be has no way of showing and confirming their race and claiming that Umbra said they were white because xe did not know an anons race is asinine. Umbra might have accidentally implied it, but they did not call the anon white.
Red: I'd like to call to attention the 4th point that Ember brings up in the above screenshots, about Umbra "not seeming to care" about her and Cyn being mocked on deviantart and furaffinity. There was someone in Ember's old Spyro server who took screenshots of the server and spread them on dA & FA to mock the people in the server. Ember and Cyn were far from being the only ones who were targeted by that person; Umbra xemself was also targeted and the person who took the screenshots accused xem of being white, something that is triggering to Umbra as xe has had to deal with abusive people erasing their identity and belittling the racism xey're targeted by (as xey can elaborate on xemself).
I believe this to be one of the most egregious examples of Ember's flagrant racism. It is not Umbra's responsibility to defend her and Cyn, both of whom are white and have never experienced racism in their lives, against someone who targeted Umbra xemself, let alone while xe was dealing with a very personal trigger backed with racist history. As far as I can remember, no one else in the server was held to the standard of needing to protect and defend Ember at their own expense! This is something that Ember decided to hold specifically against Umbra, making herself and Cynder out to be the sole victims in that situation and apparently believing that it was Umbra's duty to act as their personal attack dog.
Umbra: I didn’t comment on the discord screenshots because I was hurting over being called white and misgendered, both of which has ugly history with me. I have had abusive ex friends who called me “half white” (which is. entirely inaccurate) to belittle the violent racism I put up with. She held no one else in the server to this standard and is only upset that I personally did not come to baby her. Again, this was a time I was extremely sensitive to racism.
Truth be told I was considering leaving the server but stayed because contrary to what Ember thinks I had people in there I considered my friends and enjoyed their company. I lost them when I left because I couldn’t trust anyone after what she was saying about me.
EDIT 07/14/2019:
Spring: I have another example to add to these points about how Berry villainized Umbra for not ~protecting her~.
sreencap of discord:
[ from Berry’s previous message ] im not rly sure how to go about this now
bc i wasnt the only one with a problem with lapis
chubbyember Today at 10:47 PM
i cant.. rly. help being hurt by thinks lapis has done? not the calling me out on racism but like. only seeming (in me n cynder’s perspective) to care about themselves when i was in danger. i understand that was just me being a baby n ig not lapis not caring but. it just seemed off that everyone was trying to protect me except for them? but im sorry for freaking out abt it [ end transcription ]
The fact that Berry claims to have not been bothered by Umbra calling her out on racism is a total lie, considering that was literally the root of the whole issue between her, Dusk, and Umbra and I from the start. And how she plays clueless with what to do after being told she was being racist like… She expected me to coddle her and tell her how to act in order to “fix” things. She’s only cared about her own self image, not actually growing and learning and changing.
Furthermore, like Red and Umbra have already explained, Umbra was also a victim of harassment in that same situation that she was. Berry is entitled and spoiled to expect that everyone around her, especially people of color, are obligated to jump to her defense when she demands it. (And she did demand it. I remember being in her server when stuff like kin drama would come up and Berry would link whatever post it concerned and asked all of us to reblog it for her). In the screencap above you can see her self victimizing and trying to shirk responsibility from her own actions by dramatizing herself: “sorry for being a baby/freaking out”, while in the same breath still villainizing Umbra as if they weren’t also in danger (moreso than Berry, who is white).
EDIT 07/19/2019:
Spring: Berry continued to play victim and lie about how she treated Umbra:
screencap of discord:
[ Berry ]: and lapis like. i dont see them as an enemy but i see them as someone who hurt me and my friends and made people feel uncomfortable. lmk if im wrong but im… allowed to express whos hurt me and my friends in my discord server right? i wasnt saying lapis was a horrible terrible person, i was only saying there were people who didnt like them and people in the discord who they hurt. (at least thats all i remember, i could have forgotten something. but thats all ive said recently) [ end transcription ]
What more can I say here that hasn’t already been said? Berry had been villainizing Umbra and self victimizing herself over Umbra pointing out her and her friend’s racist behavior. Umbra never meant this in malicious intent, xe literally just wanted to help Berry and the others learn and grow from their internalized bigotry. But to Berry, this was “hurtful”.
Here is another example of Berry’s racism.
/EDIT
Lagnus
I'm a mixed indigenous and jewish person, and Ember has been and is fully aware of this fact. I talked about my experience as a mixed indigenous person to her and how Christianity wasn't for me in personal experience because of my identity and trauma regarding the religion and its church. Ember upon hearing this immediately began to tell me that "even though I had outcasted Gd, he still loved me" and began asking if I would give Christianity another chance, but it quickly became her telling me to give it another chance because it's "not as bad as you seem to make it out to be.'' Later that night Ember also drew this image featuring my Spyro "kin" design and sent it to me (it was a part of a bigger collection of drawings but I hope you know why this one in particular is being shown)
Img ID: a drawing done by Ember that features kin/personal designs for Characters from the Spyro series as stand ins for the people who are kin to them. From left to right it features her Ember design saying "God I pray that my friends are happy and safe. Amen" followed by her GFs Cynder design and my Spyro design saying "She's too wholesome!"
end ID
Umbra
Green: god so you remember that obnoxious white girl in that other server
Green: she was saying some islamophobic shit so i confronted her about it and she had one of the mods delete it all after i politely told her to shut up w her racism
Black: aaOQOSOOOAOFBFJJFD
Black: GOD SHE JUST NEEDS TO STOP TALKING
Green: she really fucking does
Green: after i confronted her and the server owner got updated everyone had their mod status stripped except for her
Green: “no racism” in the chat for sure
Before anyone accuses both of the poc speaking here, saying “she needs to stop talking” is a crass way we say that someone needs to stop talking over others and listen.
Ember had been saying islamaphobic things in the server after she said that a muslim came in to talk about the religion. Having been around muslims and learning common misconceptions spread to fearmonger against the religion, I had a hunch that the school paid someone to come in and lie (she goes to a christian private school, they get the money for this).
I tried to talk to her about how they were misconceptions and contradicted 90% of what learned from practicing muslims and felt uncomfortable with the conversation because I didn't know enough to defend them properly, but she insisted on speaking as an authority on it. It took multiple people besides just me to get her to drop the topic as per my request.
At this time I was a moderator (for a few days, out of months of being in the server) and was actively trying to be as emotionally neutral as possible. Roughly 2 hours later I noticed that everyone’s mod status except for Ember had been removed. One of the ex moderators DMed me and said that Berry asked them to delete the entire conversation. When Dusk asked her what happened Ember dismissed it as drama. I do not have caps of the conversation since she deleted them, but I do have time stamped vents to my friend over this. (Friend is red, Umbra is blue).
Red: i’m a little bothered by her talking about islam rn but i also don’t know enough about religion to pick a fight about it
Blue: sorry i wasn’t logged in ill check it out
Blue: god she used “jew”
Blue: did i handle that well enough….
Red: yeah you did
Red: i was bothered by the way she started talking about it like she knew everything bc she has a ~wold religion class~ shes probably gonna try nitpicking now but
Blue: cynder deleting all the messages on “drama” is actually super fucking annoying
Red: oh my god
Blue: oh it wasnt cyn it was ember
Blue: fantastic
Red: [eyes emoji] they even just deleted the messages where cyn asks if she missed something
Red: incredible
Red
Hi, call me Red. I'm a friend of Umbra's and joined xem in Ember's Spyro server for a relatively short period of time. Although neither of us took screenshots of the conversation before it was deleted, I can confirm that Ember insisted on acting as an authority about Islam and tried to spread extremely ignorant and harmful beliefs about Islam and the Quran encouraging violence against non-Muslims. Umbra and I calmly told her that although we didn't believe she meant any harm, she was very misinformed and needed to be more mindful of internalizing what she had learned in school, as she had previously stated that she went to a Christian private school that was very conservative and homophobic -- although she then expressed disbelief that her school might also be Islamophobic.
The entire conversation was almost immediately deleted at Ember's request by a server moderator, and when Dusk came in on the tail end and asked what had happened, Ember tried trivializing it by passing it off as "drama," and shortly after took the mod role away from everyone except herself and Dusk.
Whitewashing
She drew art of Glimmer SPoP and white washed her!
Also theres this gem from her Twitter, posted here. Her twitter is napping femme (@pawmise), previously under Ember.
It is no secret that marijuana is sacred to many indigenous communities and used in peaceful ceremonies. This tweet alone is layered in its racism. And even besides that- criminalizing addicts is a really bad plan.
She is also a game grumps/egoraptor fan so thats fun.
The dislikes are seemingly code for poc who are “too ethnic” for her tastes, with the "no politics, anything I deem occult, or rap music!"
Transphobia:
EDIT 10/4/19: Parts of this have been removed due to Berry coming out as NB.
Thank you for understanding.
Lagnus
There are no receipts of this as it was in a voice call I had with Ember while I played fortnite with her(same call that she tried to convert me). I talked about a transman experience and Ember told me that at one point she had thought she might be trans, but wasn't. She continued to tell me that being a transman was a way to "cope with sapphic feelings" as she saw it, even pointing out how in the past I had IDed as a Lesbian years before transitioning, claiming my transness was just a denial of being a lesbian.
(For credibility, it was an over Psn call and her PSN is "wolfintraining" last I saw it, she has art from the call of my Spyro design saying "I'm bad at fortnite" to prove we did call to play that game.)
💖 dusks girl 💖:
me:hmm (url) seems familiar who is dat
Me: looks at thier blog
Me, finding out they r the person that compared me to tier abuser n blamed me for being a “manipulative liar” because i feel safe around men:
Ember gas lit me and abused me for months. And When I finally had the nerve to stand up to her it was over her horrid actions, not because she felt “unsafe around men”. She DMed one of my friends to turn it against me when I sent it an ask it about something completely unrelated, and claimed I only got on her for her actions because of misogyny. On top of that, she uses the wrong pronouns, as I exclusively used He/Him at the time and she knows that. On the topic now, refer to me with it/it's Ember.
EDIT 10/4/19
Here is Berry refusing to use someones name and it should be known that no, She did not correct said mistake or apologize to Annie, she has been called on this several times since she did it.
Here is also her knowingly using the wrong pronouns for Annie due to it not being on her side:
Earlier in the document are the caps of Annie claiming it is a cowards move for Berry to vague her victims. Berry is claiming that she would “NEVER VAGUE ON HER SPYRO BLOG” which, as the caps earlier in the Doc show, she does. No matter how Berry feels Annie is being rude in its message to her- it does not justify her misgendering of it.
/edit
Ember takes kin very seriously and talks a lot about how she remembers each past life and how she lived, and that's fine on it's own you do you, but she has a "past life/canon" of Spyro the dragon that she claims is a trans girl. Ember is a cis girl, and has never experienced Transphobia or transmisogyny in her life. Her claiming she lived as a transgirl in a past life and that she recalls it is gross and inherently transphobic.
little girl
[art of spyro]
shes lonely n curious
avalarz on dA: my kin redesign of spyro! my version of spyro uses she/her pronouns btw
This probably comes off as kin drama and I am so sorry for that, but she is claiming that she was a transgirl in a past life. And if that isn't her claim she is either gender bending as a cis person which is also bad for obvious reasons, or is claiming she was a she/her gay man in another life which is also very suspect, but sources remember her stating that she "was a transgirl in her Spyro canon!"
EDIT 7/14/2019: A conversation over this showed that Berry views the spyro canon as “Just spyro but as a girl!”, insinuating that it is a genderbend.
EDIT 4/1/2020:
Ember refered to a victim of hers as “She” when said victim never ever used those pronouns. Also the beginning of the message with “(Victim)? The. H.” is warry at best. Here is said victim’s explanation of it:
Pedophilia and Incest Art:
cg/l relationship with her partner
Berry has publicly posted her regression blog that lists her girlfriend as her “Carer”. Regardless of if you say it is a SFW non-kink/non-sexual kink, claiming your significant other is your carer is immediately making this whole thing cg/l. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you claim that you are a little/are a regressor and your caretaker is someone you have an intimate relationship with, you are participating in cg/l.
Here are two archives of the blog, puppytimes, in case one is removed: (1) (2)
Said blog was made and promoted when Berry was 18, which is also in line with it being a kink blog.
EDIT 4/1/2020:
Her partner has also testified that It 10000% did not consent to the DDLG things. And that Ember was purposely trying to hide it from it.
(drawn / requested/commissioned art of her as a child/baby with her adult partner)
(EDIT 2/15/2020)
Hi, Lagnus again. Berry has recently made a side account by the name of “Femmegir” in which it is for her to try to kin date her girlfriend of whom is kin to Zim. I don’t personally watch or really interact with Invader Zim so I had to ask friends who do if the ship of Zim and Gir was bad or anything and heres the replies I got:
The kinnies don’t really matter aside from Berry purposely tagging. things stating Zim as Girs dad for Dusk.
(please ignore the clown music in the cap I was initially making a joke with friends but hey, it fits.)
Here is proof that its for Dusk, as “Zim” is one of Dusk’s alt names as stated in its about:
(Archived Link for full about for reference)
And here’s her explicitly stating Dusk is “Her Zim”
Proof that Femmegir is Berry:
She commissioned art from user Sunsetfemke who draws porn of underaged characters
Incest Retweets
Not pedophilia, but she did retweet art of the two characters from Ouran Highschool Host Club whose whole deal is being a long running incest joke (the show itself also features transphobia, pedophilia, etc.).
Edit 7/14/2019: The artist has confirmed these are not ship art, but due to Ourans nature- Berry shouldn’t have touched it in the first place
Accusing others of pedophilia over literal kin drama
A few months into my friendship with Ember we met and became friends with another Spyro kin (most if not all the people she introduced to me were people she met via kin) who I’ll call M for this. M became a close friend to me basically over night and I trusted him greatly. How ever, with in a few months just for fun- M kinned Cynder because it was 2018 and we were all just having fun. Ember found out because M knew she would over-react and cause problems over kin drama, and apologized for possibly upsetting them and left all of their servers. Ember then began to claim that she was suicidal over it, That she never trusted M, and to me claimed M was into DDLG among other things.
Text reads (Ember in red):

(accusing M of this, was out of left field and was wrong. He didn’t defend it. Ember lied. She tried to claim to me, a CSA victim, that M was into pedophilia and defended it, and used M’s abuse of having the kink used to groom him (he is a regression alter in his system) to try and make him out to be a bad person.)

💕💖dusks girl💖💕11/09/2018
yeah? i confronted him abt it after cyn told me
Berry and Dusk lied. I used to try to claim she was misinformed and stay neutral, but she lied. She tried to make M look bad and like a pedophile/pedophile enabler. Which is hilarious considering a few months later she was revealed to be into CG/L
EDIT 10/4/2019:
Hi, Lagnus here! I confronted both Dusk, and my alter confronted Berry back around when this callout first went live. There is a slight update to this where Dusk continues to lie about the situation with M and claims that he, even though he was being groomed as a child alter, was defending pedophilia to them.
/edit
Also this real interesting thing she said about her age roughly a year ago
user: well you are 17 and i thought 17 is an adult pff
ember: np! adult is still kid
Art Theft/Scamming:
-Using others for art. (Art trades, blocking when she gets art out of someone, using artwork when told not to explicitly by the artist / using art from ex friends out of spite, tracing, art theft / not crediting artists [see using without permission ])
Using Her Victims Art
In her discord server, she has many emojis that are just art of Ember. Which would be fine, but one of these emojis is from a drawing made by Lagnus, who is one of her victims.
The original art (“remade” being Lagnus):
And proof of her having this as an emoji in her server:
Her using the art made by someone she’s emotionally abused, manipulated, stalked, harassed, and sent people after is incredibly selfish and hurtful.
Using a Stolen Design as Her Sona
Her “Sona” Cirrus is a stolen design from one of her victims that she stalked and harrassed for a long while. She claimed that the design was stolen by someone else and traded to her, but even when confronted on it by the original artist, she said she’d only pay $4 for the originally $15 design, despite paying hundreds of dollars for commissions in the past, and instead of just returning the design to the person who created it.
The design in question is the one on the far right (#3):
And here’s Ember’s sona’s design, followed by her admitting that it was based on or stolen from this original design:
The design steals the aspects of the cloud patterned fur, the rainbow hair and tan neck fur, and the cheek heart. While she tweaked the design slightly, it’s very clear what the inspiration was drawn from.
Tenderheart: CYNDER ok i have a situation it isnt drama or anything it was like. Idk but basically my sona is based off an adopt that ninten did?? But like i didnt know it? What happened was that an old friend traded me an adopt that ninten was selling (i didnt know they were the artisr of the adopt, i just now found this out bc the watermark is still on the pic and i liked the art so i looked it up on dA and found it) but on the deviation it never said the adopt sold. SO if thats the case id like to buy the adopt that was traded to me!! Bc ive been using a redone version of the design and ive had no idea it was stolen (i think) unless…
Tenderheart: aah thats really sweet thank u! And i dont think its bad at all i think its super cute ;u; im really sorry it got stolen! Could i at least pay half of it? Im not good on money as of late bc of medical bills but id love to pay a little something, art is a luxury either way!
Ember not only does not give the rights to this stolen design back to the original artist, but ends up not even paying half of what the design originally was. As stated, she paid $4 out of the $15 the design was put up as and worth.
Here’s caps of Clyde (the original designer) talking about this:
(C): yeah.. The design was like full color fullbody and everything when it was posted and only $15… i put a lot of effort into it too
(C): hii i wanted to say in my own words i do not think ember necessarily “stole” my adopt but i feel as though i got scammed out of it.
The adopt had been up for months on my deviantart and it was worth $15 and as (K) said i only got $4 from it when she told me she had it. And that someone else stole it and sold it i think to her?
And that made me really uncomfortable because she spends hundreds of dollars on commission art and im struggling to make any money and she knows im poor. And she couldnt even pay hal pride for it.
She said something like Oh im having issues at home right now i can only pay $4… and didnt even really offer to give the design back or anything it was either. Take or leave it attitude from what i remember
So i feel really scammed out of a design i was really proud of
And i never got proper credit for it or anything i think
Im not sure (k) can correct me if im wrong. Ive got a bad memory
Tracing Commission to Use As Adopt
*Edit Berry states she simply claimed the art as her own and had someone trace it for her!!! Still not great.
Ember had paid for a Ko-Fi commission from an artist who we will call H, which was roughly $3-$6 as it was two fullbody sketches. She then used the art she’d commissioned, traced over it, and made an adopt design for around $20-$30, thereby using this other artists work to make money for herself.
The original drawing:
Ember’s paid tracing of it:
And proof of her selling this design and art that she traced:
As well as the original artist stating that they never gave permission for Ember to use this:
(Fury): ...coming in here and asking but do you have that drawing you did for ember a while back? The one of her and skylar? I know some peeps making a callout and it had to do with it.
(Fury): I also have a question that goes along with this. Did you ever give ember permission to use your lineart to make an adopt or anythig?
(H): OK ANYWAY hi (Fury) please dont worry its totally fine!! Im a bit shocked n confused about what your asking of course bc i have no idea what you mean but, yea i still have the art + separate sprite i send em that i can go find if u need them both or not?
And as for permission??? I totally never did ?? i gave em the okay to reference a post i’d drawn once but that’s it
Hi, Lagnus here again. I just want it to be noted that the time Berry cut me out of her life was after I had finished art for her in an art trade and she wanted nothing more to do with me after, when called on it she claimed it was me making a fuss over her unfollowing which it never was.
Fury being scammed
A long while back (at least a year now) I'd received a character from a closed species. The rules in the species state that you can NOT sell one of the characters you own if it has been gifted or traded. Only a bought character can be sold and only for the price it was bought for. You also cannot sell myo slots.
obtained via: common myo, original price 25$
cannot be resold, can be traded or gifted
(this desc is from my specific characters page. The one that she sold to me)
Berry not only sold the character to me but she sold it for around $45 i believe as well as another character I had owned. I was desperate to be a part of the species and I trusted her to i accepted, thinking this was a generous offer. I went along with her ideas including not mentioning how i received the character
dusks girl: hey!! i didnt wanna clog up the chat w [species] stuff in case ppl feel bad for not havin one. but ive asked for money in public and have done this before with no proble! if they ask u how u got it, just say u traded it for be and dont mention the money ot be safe
BC the rules change conansttly and i dont want either of us to get in trouble
fury: ahh aight sure thing!! i was just gonna suggest maybe a small doodle or something like that i could pass it off as extra payment for the art that was added
dusks girl: a commission. 45 dollars is a lot of money for a doodle, they dont ask u what u got for the [species] tho
For the next couple months I paid off the character.
fury: i think i send like. 20 since i didnt have the full 40
dusks girl: okay!!! do u have the other half? :3?
fury: just about do yep! im fonna like. quick sell some characters to make up the 5$ so i have 25
dusks girl: oki doki thank u fury!!!
dusks girl: feel free to send what u have over at [paypal address]!
u can pay the rest whenever, i just need the money cus [---] slots r open rn hehehe
Here is the paypal log
(name blurred is hers)
Alongside this I had also commissioned her for what I assume was two headshots for my friends (I don't know what exactly they were) which I'd never received. So although I never sent the full $45 (unless one of my other logs in paypal was in fact the other piece of the 45) she had scammed me out of $10 which more or less nearly equals to the $45.
Here is me asking her for the pieces for my friends along side the paypal log
Here is the log
Overall these are the recorded accounts I have of her scamming me out of money and lying in order to gain from me
(please be aware that the closed species issue has been solved! I talked to a mod about it and it wasn't the first time she had done this in the species. She has been (as far as I know) permanently banned from the species and is no longer allowed to consider her characters part of the species. Do not seek out this species. Leave the owners, members and mods out of this. This is simply to show that she has no problem lying, manipulating and taking money from people she considers friends)
This isn’t using the art but her retweeting art of her victims oc is super fucked!
Conclusion:
Yes, friends can be abusive. Emotional abuse can be complicated but it is real (warning for cissexist language in 2nd link). These are all repeated offenses and absolutely not everything. Pokemonz has been called out several times by several people and every time she worms her way back into communities and social media circles. We all rallied together in hopes that we can actually permanently halt her influence from spreading when she only causes harm. We are all victims of abuse, victims of Berrys, and we're tired of being lied about and having smear campaigns ran to chase us out of spaces that she believes she runs.
By being friends, mutual's, or even just supporting Berry, you are enabling her and her horrid, abusive, and toxic behavior. Many people have been considered her close friends and were thrown out when they spoke out of turn- it isn't friendship it is using for gain and abuse of trust. She will not change, she has not changed over several years- she benefits from her actions and behavior and believes there are no repercussions to what she does.
Berry. You have not changed and we believe you will never change. Knowing you are reading this gives me a slight twinge of hope that maybe you will- but considering your track record I know not to let it go past that.
