Update (TRIGGER WARNING: Transphobic language/rape mention)
Added 2019-08-12 03:19:39 +0000 UTC
Over the past week I've received so many new Patrons I really must thank each and every one of you! Because of this I've been able to improve my life and even make plans to move out on my own! That's right, I've been considering making this my full-or well more like part time job as I finish up school, and it's thanks to all of you cuties!
However there are a number of troubling messages I have been sent in the past few days, I've gotten rid of the patrons who have done this but I want to make one thing very clear: When you pledge you are supporting me or asking me to do a job, not role playing with me or venting. I received a few disturbing messages from what I assume (and hope) to be role players detailing thing's such as childhood rape, necrophilia, death, and bestiality. Along with several dick pics sent by another patron when asked to provide a reference photo for their persona.
If you have dealt with any of these things then I urge you to seek help or a network where you feel safe and supported, but I am not a therapist and cannot provide the help you need to get over such things.
I've also received messages on here and on deviantart from two separate accounts that seem to be deleting themselves before I can respond, using hate speech mostly against trans people. I am not trans, I am a cisgender woman but the constant use of words like 'trap', 'tranny' and 'faggot' in the rambling's of what I assume to be a troll do get to me after awhile. Even if it is a joke it's not a very funny one and is deeply upsetting.
I appreciate everyone's pledges no matter the amount and I love all you cuties so much, honestly when I started posting things online I never thought I'd get this kind of positive response from people but I guess i've also been attracting a number of trolls.
While I've tried to respond to these messages in the past I'm making this post as a warning that I will now be blocking and reporting (without warning) anyone who sends me disturbing content as listed above.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, Selkie! You definitely don't deserve that kind of treatment. No matter what people say to you, we've got your back. You can always take breaks if you need them. <3
2019-08-19 18:29:26 +0000 UTC“Give a man a mask, and he will show his true face.” - Oscar Wilde. I’m so sorry you’re going through this stuff. The internet is a very toxic place nowadays, and a lot of it is people getting out their true views and hatred of others into the world without any true rebuttal or consequence in their daily life. It’s unhealthy, irresponsible and a downright cruel catharsis for most of these people, and any target they can find will make a suitable target for them to demonize. I get how stressful things can be, but I do encourage you to take a break from things every so often, especially if these threats continue. Prioritize care for yourself, before you do things for others. 💜

2019-08-12 10:22:51 +0000 UTCAs been around for a long time heck over 20 years that I have been dressing. I have had a load of bad comments and now it is just like what the heck. Oh another idiot that does not know what they are doing or are they jealous of my cute dresses. I think the best way is just deleting the messages and it will make you stronger in the long time.

2019-08-12 06:48:23 +0000 UTCI get stuff like that too people think I'm some sort of toy or vent box so they send me messages everywhere from reddit to Instagram and it's scary and tiring to the point where I'm not even super active on most of my social media accounts because of people finding me in real life and doing any form of harm to me

2019-08-12 04:13:11 +0000 UTCBut hey, you are strong as heck, aren't you? You will get through all of this, I promise. By the way, this is the first time I'm messaging you because I was scared people would be rude at me if they find out (the bad thing about being known in the internet is that my followers are really ALWAYS watching everything I do), but screw them. Nowadays you are my favourite artist and I wish I could pay you more for your drawings, I think you deserve it. At the moment I'm unemployed so I can only pay you this, but I will try to support you some more once I can! A warm hug from Spain and thank for everything. And let me know if you need something!

2019-08-12 04:06:02 +0000 UTCThat's horrible, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that constantly! This is honestly my first time dealing with things like this on this level but you can't even walk away from it.

2019-08-12 03:59:12 +0000 UTCThats the internet for ya. On the plus side anonymity means nobody can tell who you are and you can be free to be whatever you want in the digital realm... on the downside anonymity means nobody can tell who you are and you can be free to be a gigantic bag of dicks in the digital realm.

2019-08-12 03:57:43 +0000 UTCYou're so sweet hon, but I don't want to ask anything more of my patrons other than to just respect me and my boundaries, you all do so much for me already.
Selkie
2019-08-12 03:57:06 +0000 UTCThank you dear, that's the plan I've honestly been putting up with these people for to long.
Selkie
2019-08-12 03:56:00 +0000 UTCSome people just wanna cause trouble Selkie. Don't let them get to you. Block, report, and screw 'em.

2019-08-12 03:54:13 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry that those people have been acting so rude, Selkie! You're a very wonderful and kind woman, and I really, really appreciate all the work that you've done for us! If there's anything that you need of us, please don't hesitate to ask! I really hope that you won't have to deal with any more people like that! We all love you so much! <3
2019-08-12 03:43:21 +0000 UTCI'm kinda known in Twitter and I understand how that feels. I'm a trans girl and everyday I get at least 20 messages telling me horrible things. One time I even had to go to the police. I know I'm a stranger to you and everything, but if you want to talk about this or if you want advice, feel free to talk to me.
