What happened to Bonus Level/Luci/Duster/Your old Merch/Patreon?

Please feel free to pass this around to anyone who asks:

Me and that individual are no longer associated in any way shape or form. We are not on good terms and we never will be again. This is a mutual sentiment we both share. For the sake of both our privacy, I will not elaborate further or provide additional details, unless absolutely necessary.

I have gone out of my way to avoid mentioning them in any capacity except where necessary. To prevent further inquiries, I am creating this Q/A to settle the matter. As mentioned, please forward this information to anyone who asks.

Despite this, I hold no ill will towards that person, and simply want both of us to go our separate ways and pretend the other does not exist.

In spite of our original agreement to continue working together and remain on good terms, which was posted publicly with their approval, they changed their mind shortly afterwards.

Furthermore, they requested I stop promoting their Patreon, socials, and other items, wanting to erase any association they once had with me. This feeling is mutual. I also do not wish to support them in any capacity.

As a result, any videos which features their character "Duster," credits them for artwork, animation, promotes their Patreon, their original content, and the like, will be re-edited to remove any mention of them, their original content, and their character, no matter how small or brief. I encourage everyone who watches my videos to let me know which videos contain any images, mentions, or otherwise acknowledges the character Duster or their owner, so that I may create a list and systematically erase them from my channel.

They have requested I stop using their artwork as thumbnails in my videos. However, I refuse to respect this demand, as the artwork was created specifically for my use in my videos. You may see some thumbnails changing, however this is purely a voluntary action on my own part, as I am not happy with the quality or content of the thumbnails and simply wanted to update them to something more in line with my desired vision.

I will also continue to use their artwork created specifically for my usage as I see fit, and am under no obligation to stop. However, I am seeking to replace all artwork and assets created by them in an attempt to further separate them from myself.

In short: I am removing whatever artwork and assets of theirs at my own discretion, and keeping/using whichever ones I feel like. The artwork was made specifically for me and my usage in the first place, and I am under no obligation to cease using it.

They are no longer associated with me or my brand. They no longer want to be associated with me or my brand. And I no longer want them to be associated with me or my brand. This is a mutual sentiment.

Thank you for understanding. I will update this Q/A and re-pin it to my profile as needed.
