hi there, I'm Kes!🎀
i am a self taught artist, animator, nostalgic soul, and lover of many things.
my work is primarily reminiscent of things i grew up loving.
i'm just getting my start on youtube! it is my space to express my love and adoration for my interests freely 💭🌷

Little facts about me, Kestallia 🩷🎀My top 3 favorite colors are neapolitan! (brown, pink, white/cream)
I also really like black, blue, red, and yellow!
🎀I have a.. “small” sonic collection worth approximately 800-1 thousand usd!My most expensive sonic item is my sonic x shadow generations collectors bundle from japan, which averaged around 280 usd at the time of purchase (plus 100 usd for replacement items.. haha,,,)My most cherished sonic item is my shadow the hedgehog nendoroid 🫶🎀I am a chronic hair bow wearer, basically all of my life! My favorite type of bow is the bow that is so big that its still visible, even from the front (like in some of my outros) 🤭🩷🎀I am a proud scorpio ♏️
Noooo, I dont bite! Just remember the golden rule, its very important to us, especially me 🩷
🎀Favorite characters from my main 3 interests ⬇️My favorite Sonic character is Silver the Hedgehog. I adore his no nonsense attitude when it comes to fighting for the future. He remains hopeful and determined, even as the world constantly tells him to not be that way. That makes him easily likeable for me!
I also really like Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, and of course Sonic (hes number 2 xo)
My favorite Mario character is both Mario and Luigi. It's hard to choose between them, as they are both equally loveable! Mario is determined, kind, and genuinely cares for the people around him. Luigi may have his own fears, but him being able to push past them and do what he needs to do has always been extremely admirable
I also really like Peach, Daisy, Pauline, Tiny Kong and Toadette
My favorite Winx Club character is Bloom. Shes been through so much, but still shows up for her friends and family. She is probably one of the most determined characters I know, going through hell and high water to find her birth family and be reunited with them. That type of determination always made her a wonderful leader in my eyes (plus, shes super pretty and has a killer wardrobe!)
I also really like Stella, Aisha, Flora, Nabu and Helia

Im into alot of things!Each of my interests have helped me in big or small ways.
I always love to pay homage to them somehow <3

Meet Kearielle, "Kearii" for short!You'll see her lurking around in my animations from time to time~
Just incase you are curious of who she is, this sheet should help you out xo

since december 2024, others and myself have been stalked, harassed, defamed and slandered by a creator we used to volunteer with, all over one sided issues.after asking this individual several times (8) for a private conversation over those issues and to leave us alone after being invasive, she has shown she is not willing to do so.this is my space to tell the truth, and give myself and especially others closure.this is not a statement, this is a response.i will be leaving my response to the defamation spread against me by tarasdiary.below, I will also be leaving the testimony by those who have been hurt and negatively impacted by this individual over the years.i will be keeping my full response and receipts archived for safe keeps, as i really would like to just clear the air here and move on.please give me the space to heal in peace, as this situation has caused me a lot of physical and psychological stressthank you so much🤍-kes

Doxxing Accusation

This accusation is first, as it is the most severe to me.It is a blatant lie. A harmful and defamatory one at that.Speaking for myself:
I was never close or "friends" with tara, nor did I state or view her as such. she was always a person i respected when I was younger, or "someone I grew up watching."
tara never once told me that her first name being used made her uncomfortable, especially since she shared it frequently (even in Sonic Fantasy ep 1)Clarification:
I didnt write the introduction or conclusion pages in the initial document. I only proofread it along with another involved party.


receipts of accusation ⬇️


sonic fantasy receipt (full video length is 43:42/43:43, timestamp is 14:04) ⬇️


receipts of the link/pictures including her first name being shared everywhere (instagram, twitter, twitch, community tab) ⬇️

・I want to note that I am still very proud of Tara for completing this 5k, as it was for a good cause. I do not put this against her. However, she did still share the information for this 5k everywhere, which included her full first name.This was the same year the document including the "doxxing" accusation came out.


proof that her first name is still on her channel (under important update videos and her 2nd channel) ⬇️

Blackmail Accusation

  • I never threatened tara

  • I never threatened to harm tara

  • I never demanded money or any other benefit from tara

  • Nothing presented in my statement is a "secret"

  • Nothing in my statement is "criminal" or "embarrassing"

  • The only thing I asked for in my statement is a conversation.

Asking for a conversation is not blackmail, and falsely stating such is slander.

Stalking

after tara removed us from her community over issues we had no context on, her and her "staff" spent several months engaging in stalking behavior. Even after expressing that stalking us was making us extremely uncomfortable and to leave us alone, they refused.This led to the video calling this behavior out to be made. The result of that was her launching a flagging campaign to have it removed, slandering us, and contuing this invasive behavior.


tara and her staff team confirming/confessing that they engaged in stalking, and attempting to deflect it⬇️

staff admissions, majority from "leo4lfe" ⬆️

⬆️their screenshots of my page. i asked them several times to leave me alone and they refused.

anonymous tip (received before documents creation) ⬇️

i also would like to emphasize that tara used the instagram screenshots above as "proof" of me "making the situation public."their actions (stalking) is what led to the situation being made public. i did not address the document or taras actions prior to her stalking in my stories. i didnt even mention any names. after being shut down several times for private conversations( doc, "staff" member, mint (2x) ) I fully intended to move on, but the stalking was too much for all 3 of us.the point of the story was to send her a clear message; "leave me alone."the same day, this led to willow deleting her pictures from taras server in fear of her safety, which resulted in a ban.the build up of discomfort and boundaries being continuously crossed by this invasive behavior is what led to the videos creation.stalking always was the reason.

tara deflecting, misinformation ⬇️

⬆️we didnt stalk tara, this is a deflection (or "DARVO")months prior we were all mutuals. by taras logic, she would consider us "stalkers" when we were creating free art for sonic at halloween 5. to reiterate, i blocked taras staff and community members jan 1st due to paranoia.there was a genuine reason for it, as it is very rare when i block people.

⬆️tara attempts to deflect the stalking, while simultaneously confirming it

reference, stalkingawareness.org⬇️

Third Parties

tara has repeatedly grouped me and others into issues that have nothing to do with us and spreading misinformation to others.i was not only not aware of these issues, but not involved.


luxedmoonz

the only situation i had full context on in regards to taras issues with luxedmoonz was the copying instances.i witnessed minor copying instances from luxedmoonz in 2015-2016 when we first met, and i was told about the 2018 copying instances by her in 2019.all i ever mentioned to tara in regards to alyssa is copying related issues. thats all tara has been able to recount in regards to my "awareness," despite insisting i was aware of "everything she did."i didnt have full context or awareness on anything else. that includes the 2025 twitch instance.i also want to emphasize that tara told me the two were on good terms. i had no reason to think anything changed between them prior to this situation.

tara telling me shes not on bad terms with luxedmoonz ⬇️

proof i was unaware of other instances ⬇️

copying/plagarism was the only thing i mentioned when speaking to tara about luxedmoonz, because thats all i knew ⬇️

"befriended" claim ⬇️

something i want to note is that tara several times claimed that i "recently befriended alyssa again" but doesnt provide context.alyssa was always following my account, even before my first instagram post.tara would know this, as alyssa was following her account before the initial twitch ban (dec 12) meaning that the two didnt have eachother blocked.

i am going to assume tara came to this conclusion because i wished luxedmoonz happy birthday 2 days before the twitch ban.i was never especially close to luxedmoonz. our relationship was primarily "yearly updates," or "on/off" for around 10 years.ultimately, i do believe that tara jumped to conclusions. she has admitted that she wasnt clear enough on where the two stand with one another. i was always under the impression that the two were either good friends or on good terms as tara told me.thats why i stressed the importance of a private conversation. it could have prevented so many miscommunications, and this entire situation overall.


male third party

i was never close with this indivudal. he only followed me initially because i was one of taras artists and he liked my work.his actions were a complete shock to me. after learning about it, artpesrls and i had a long conversation with him, prompting him to apologize and move on.

mintiiorweeos

several individuals have put words into our mouths in regards to mints involvement.
this is just for clarification. nothing more or less.


dm exchange that prompted the documents creation (dec 18th)⬇️

For clarification: this was sent to mint and allegedly crystal minutes after tara banned rachel and I unprompted. instead of having a conversation or giving us a reason behind her actions, tara immediately gossiped and spread misinformation about us to others and dubbed the ban as "drama."this shared exchange is what prompted us, including mint, to work on the first statement.


proof of mints direct involvement ⬇️


mint attempted to send doc/awareness material on the 24th. ⬇️

mint on taras behalf (this was after we removed their statement and removed them from the situation) ⬇️

failed communication attempts ⬇️


stalking accusation ⬇️


further clarification on why they were blocked by me ⬇️

tarasdiarys' community tab

83 days after the video was published and we moved on, tara made a community tab that prompted harassment and "flagging" campaign.that not only, but tara actively engaged in coercion, harassment and legal intimidation in order to get the awareness material removed.


taras community tab, receipts of taras legal intimidation, coercion, and spreading misinformation ⬇️

For clarification: I can't speak for anyone but myself. My desired outcome was not to work with tara and rejoin her community again, especially after I already emphasized that I will be moving on in my video statement after the disrespect I received from it.It was always for a conversation over her own actions. I tried 8 times to have a conversation with her, and I was stonewalled every single time.


taras community member sending direct harassment to RachelSquishies on an unrelated post. this led to the video being archived, and us discovering the community tab ⬇️


receipts of tara publicly condoning and engaging in harassment (a few that werent deleted) ⬇️

minor issues

ai/"false information" accusation

i'm going to give tara the benefit of the doubt and assume that this accusation is a misunderstanding, as she stated i used "google as false evidence."nothing was false.screenshots used were taken directly from googles standard feature, and webpages.


"ai overview" is googles new summary box, and has been for a few years now ⬇️


my vent art.

this is in regard to hazcos second "statement" ⬇️

The drawings in question were drawings highlighting my mental distress.Tara somewhat apologized in her statement for causing not only my mental distress, but Rachels and Willows.Do not use my vent art as an invitation to twist any of my words or intentions.The purpose of the video was to bring awareness to Taras extremely invasive behavior, something that was expressed to those who watched it.


taras folder on me

the content within this folder is irrelevant to the content within my own statement. however, i will provide clarification.


gratitude

i have always expressed gratitude for the praise i received when i was an artist for taras projects and for the opportunity to help with them. a staff member also recounted this in her statement.this was never an issue for me, nor did i ever state that it was within my statements.

comments left under videos (she has since hidden them) ⬇️

first sentence of my first statement ⬇️

from kocokats statement ⬇️


birthday "shout out"

tara saw my birthday doodle in "share your work" and wished me happy birthday in "general." i thanked her for it, and everyone else who wished me happy birthday.this isnt "proof" of anything, as she attempts to use this as "proof" she "liked me at that time."i believe that if tara "liked me," the idea of disrespecting, stalking and attempting to slander my name would have never crossed her mind.

birthday doodle (posted after rachels) ⬇️

taras response/ "proof" of "liking me" ⬇️


"discord issues," conclusion

discord issues (taras folder) ⬇️

My first statement is primarily filled with recounts of various discord occurances that took place in taras server.At the time of writing, I had no idea why Tara not only banned me almost immediately after working on and volunteering for Sonic at Halloween 5 with no issues (making me feel extremely used,) but attempted to slander me and spread misinformation about me to others.We've tried over 8 times to have a private conversation with Tara over her own actions, but were stonewalled every single time.This entire situation at large was because I was mutuals with luxedmoonz.I was again not fully aware of the extent of their issues.Their issues never concerned me because they were never my business.I also think its important to note that Taras most active community members were also following and engaging with luxedmoonz years before I even joined the community or made my account.Some as far back at 2019.Despite this, only Rachel and myself were singled out or targeted by tarasdiary, and eventually Willow for advocating for us and others.


remarks. . .

i would like to just heal and get better behind the screen.please be aware that for my health, i cannot handle reading anymore large documents or responding to anything else written by tarasdiary or those associated with her, as the action has left me abit traumatized.if there is anything else anyone directly involved wants to say, please tell me privately. otherwise, it will not be read by me, and I am once again asking that you leave me alone.i again wish tara the best. please handle situations like this more responsibly in the future.harassment, slander, leading hate campaigns, coercion and stalking is never the answer to people wanting clarification on issues you chose to start.
