Please save us — help bring us back 💔 (Patreon)

Hey guys. It’s been over a day since Instagram disabled every account linked to my device — the shop account, Yuri, Ulti, and even my personal one, along with Facebook and Threads all at once. We didn’t break any rules, and it really seems like a huge mistake. But still, they won’t let me appeal, and I have no way to reach you or bring anything back.

All of this meant so much to me. For nearly five years, we built something real — our Illegal Family, with over 52,000 people who believed in the dream. All your reviews, tags, our artwork, collabs, and the chats we shared — it was everything. Please help me bring it back. Help me save this dream.

I can’t do it alone.

1. Post on your stories or feed
Please tag @instagram and @creators, and say that @illegal.waifus was disabled by mistake. It doesn’t need to be long — just a few words can help so much.
Example:

“@instagram please bring back @illegal.waifus — a beloved anime shop with original art that was wrongly disabled. 50k+ fans lost a space they loved.”

2. Comment under Instagram’s official posts
Especially under fresh ones by @instagram or @creators. They do read those. If they see many people asking for the same thing — it might get flagged internally.

3. Submit a support request
If you still have access to the report button — please tell them our account was taken down by mistake. We had no violations, only original art and thousands of happy customers.

4. Tag any brands we’ve worked with
We’ve made friends with some wonderful partners over the years — if they see the support, they might speak up too.

I swear, guys, it hurts so much. I feel so broken. I want to keep creating for you, but this is destroying me. Please, hear my pain… and please help me come back.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at support@illegalwaifus.com. Of course, all your orders are still being fulfilled as usual — this situation won’t affect that in any way. My reputation is clean, and it will stay that way. I’m sharing updates in our Patreon chat — you can join for free if you’d like to stay informed about what’s happening.

I love you all and appreciate every single one of you. — Tanya
