too often i've been seeing this. stop. trading. the same character. to different people. i have at least two characters that other people supposedly own as well. this can be caused by forgetting to remove characters from your oc folder after you trade them, miscommunications during trade (taking the other person's character before the deal is made), and, worst of all, stealing other people's characters and trading them off to people like you own them. please stop doing this. take for example, "my" character moshi. i've seen them in at least 3 other people's folders. i essentially don't even own them anymore. or, characters i've actively used, like Phantasm https://flipanim.com/anim=5zkxa5u7 (i do not blame wiperdoo for this!) PLEASE please please P L E A S E do NOT do this anymore! be extra careful when trading characters, and if you're in doubt about if you traded something, just don't trade it!
