DNI:

anti- lgbtqiaa2+, people who ship canon (insert sexuality) with (insert gender that the person is NOT attracted to) ei, a lesbian with a male, anti-furry, anti-alterhuman, anti-vulture culture, anti-quadrobics, 18+ or kink blogs, ableists, racists, exclusionist, anti-endo, anti POSIC+, The works. adults are on shaky ground.

PLEASE INTERACT:

Alterhumans (Therians, otherkin, otherkith, otherhearted, animal hearted,otherlink,copinglink, furrians[furry therians], holotheres, soul shards, phytanthropes, fictionfolk, and ANY OTHERS PLEASE ) furries, TOH or gf fans, artists and writers and cosplayers and musicians, freaks and weirdos, Kandi kids, vulture culturists, quadrobists, mogia and liom, systems, queer ppl, POSIC+, Dssa/Essa/ssa/ handlers, Spec Bio fans,and people with decency.

BOUNDARIES/INTERACTION INFO:

-do not call me anything feminine or "cutesy", or a human.

-I am sensitive to any and all criticisms, forms of rejection, and negative emotions; and often beat myself up over small things (Ex- saying something accidentally offensive, accidentally breaking a boundary or rule, etc). if I sense i've upset you in any way, I may ghost or block you. do not take it personally, I would rather not be reminded of my past mistakes.

-I do not know everything; as hard as that is to admit. i'm autistic, and often miss cues in the moment; or get lost on topics easily. if I say something offensive, get a fact wrong, misunderstand something, or get confused about a subject, please let me know. however, do not treat me in a way that could be considered infantilizing/ as if i'm dumb/ talk down to me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and alienated; as if I'm not getting an inside joke. I am a knowledgeable person, and I would appreciate being treated like an equal.

-I've got a very low 'social battery', and i'm not super good with being constant. I often struggle with relationship maintenance, and tend to "drop off the face of the earth". this does not mean I do not care, or that i'm ignoring you, I just don't have the energy to interact/ don't have anything to say.

-I struggle with intrusive and impulsive thoughts. if I do something, say something, or tell you something, then later delete, change or ask you to forget something, it didn't happen.

-i am ok with most pet names, but 'hottie', 'babe/baby', etc I am not ok with. 'sweetheart', 'pookie', 'darling', etc I am chill with.

-please call me/us by our chosen names/pronouns whenever possible. it is crazy euphoric.

-please affirm my identity. I struggle with imposter syndrome, and this would help a lot.

-please please PLEASE interact if sourcemates. I adore all sourcemates (minus belos) and doubles. -we are source-positve and ARE your comfort character. please tell us your headcanons about us, ask questions about things you want to know, etc. -This is a "Ship and let ship" blog. only exceptions are "insert orientation" with "a gender orientation is NOT attracted to" , Minor with not minor, [age] with [age more than 3-4 years apart] aroace with anyone, bully x victim (ie bochlow), abusive ships, or darkships. otherwise I can't give a rats ass what you ship.

-NO HATING/DISSING ON OTHERS SHIPS. ANY WILL BE BLOCKED. THIS INCULDES OC x CANON, OR SELF x CANON.

-any aggressive hating/ threats will be blocked.

-gatekeeping is not allowed. at all.

-support of KOSA, PROJECT 2025 and other things like this is not allowed.

-take your discourse and politics elsewhere. Our blog is our escape from stressors, and talking of those things.

-We are bodily and (for the most part) mentally a minor. please, please keep this in mind while interacting.

-I WILL SPAM LIKE AND REBLOG.

-I use tone tags on occasion.

-we struggle with an addiction to character.ai. despite of this, we are ANTI-AI. Ai art is not real art, chatgpt sucks ass, etc etc. If you don’t like it. block us, it’s ok! We want people to be comfortable following us. however, harassing us for it will get a block. <3

-we are not afraid of the block button and do not use it sparingly. if you're a hater, break our rules/guidelines, or just make us feel bad, hitting that red button.

-zoos, necros,  pedos, and other harmful paraphiles are block on site. if you support/are these, *please* find help and leave this blog. this is not a space for you. i want to point out that I’m pro-recovery. I want you to get better. But I will block any and all zoophiles, pedophiles and necrophiles, regardless if you’re in recovery or not. not Sorry.

-our stances: are anti radqueer, anti harmful transid , pro choice, pro all pluralal origins, anti sysmed , 'misandry exists', anti KAM, anti ai [but for the recovery of those addicted!!], anti pro/neu contact, anti darkship/shotacon/lolicon but pro greyship, comship, lightship [we do not associate with the terms 'proshipper' or anything similar] we are also anti harrassment etc .

-we use lots of colored sections in our text. we have astigmatism and Dyslexia so separating our post with color helps us read the post better. it also allows us to break out thoughts into chunks.

-if you know us IRL no you don’t.
