#adoption rules

Here are the Inokabes currently available for adoption!

Make sure you check the Adopted Inokabe List before submitting an ask!

TO ADOPT (May Update So Read Carefully):

Pick the inokabe you'd like to adopt

Submit an ask to this blog (reblogs will not be accepted) with a fully colored drawing of the inokabe, (I will also allow written submissions, just include a pic of the inokabe you're writing for) and give it a name you think suits it best.

If the inokabe accepts its name, congratulations!!

If multiple submissions are sent in for the same inokabe, a wheel spin will decide who recieves it.

After 24 hours, adopts will operate on a first come, first served basis

Cooldowns will involve skipping a batch, and its a little ambiguous because I may not post a new batch weekly. So you must skip a new batch every time you adopt.

Additional Rules/Guidelines

Please make sure you put as much love into the submission drawing as you do for the art you will make afterward. In most cases I will not be announcing owners until hours after the new adopts go up, so please take your time!

Your ask submission cannot be a traced version of the adopt's art. Please.

You can adopt for other people! But you cannot do so on cooldown.

Choose one of the mutants novelty pets to love.

Choose a potential name.

Draw or write your chosen pet and submit it.

If you write, show how your sona or character meeting and choosing the pet, and how they pay for it. (Do they haggle? Offer to work off the debt? Attempt to steal it? Etc.)

If you draw, show the pet fully colored in alongside a payment whatever kind of payment your character has for the shady merchant. (Unicorn money preferred.)

Be sure to include the number of the pet and the name you want to give it.

Each pet will be available for approximately 24 hours before I randomly pick a name. After that, it will be first come, first serve.

When adopting a Celvie, I have to ensure that you will take good care of them and meet their needs. For Celvie’s who will need more assistance, Aka Celvie’s that are Disfigured, Disabled, or have any type of Impairment, their forms will be slightly different.

To properly fill out your adoption application you must follow these steps —

1- You must pick your Celvie carefully. Try not to pick on a whim, find one that you feel connected to.

2- Submit an ask with a fully coloured, full body drawing of the Celvie you would like to adopt. I accept written submissions on how you meet/adopt the Celvie, preferably above 50 words. Try to put in as much effort into it as you can!

3- Finally, give your Celvie a name.

For disabled Celvies, you will need to do step 4 instead of 2 =

4- Submit an ask with 2 drawings instead of one, a fully coloured full bodied Celvie, and then how you will take care of them. This can be either a mini comic or another drawing. And for written submissions, you must write how you meet/adopt your Celvie, and how you plan to take care of them, making it 150 or more words. This is to ensure you are adopting them in your best interest.

Submissions will have 1 hour, whilst submissions for disabled Celvie’s will be given 2 hours. If there are multiple submissions for the same Celvie, I will spin a wheel. If there are no submissions for a Celvie after the given time, they will become first come first serve.

Once having adopted a Celvie, you must wait 2 batches before attempting for another!

(Very Important)

1. To adopt a floofle you MUST submit a drawing of you/your oc and the floofle you wish to adopt

(We will also accept a drawing of the floofle and a short story about you/your oc finding the floofle, all that matters is that the floofle has someone to belong too!)

2. We would apprectiate it if all drawing submissions are neat and in colour.

3. ALL submissions should be sent via the "ask box"

4. You will have 2 hours to submit your drawing/s before I pick the adopties

5. If there are any floofles without submissions by the time the 2hrs are up then it will become a "first come first serve" situation.

6. If a floofle isn't adopted within 24 hours they will be put in the next batch to try again

7. Once you've adopted a floofle you have to wait 2 weeks before adopting again

8. You can only submit an adoption request for 1 floofle at a time

9. If you want to adopt a floofle for a friend thats totally fine! As long as your not on cooldown

10. I will not be posting peoples failed submissions unless you specify that your fine with me posting it as fanart

Aaaaand thats all the rules!

So since this and wyrms are connected by the same cooldown timer,

My last adopted wyrm was four days ago.

Does that mean i still have to wait 3 more days to try for one of your familiars or 2 and a half, with later half for adoption?

Or even simpler do i just wait for the last adoption ask post being sent in to say "7days ago", and I'm chill to try then?

How to adopt:

1. Pick your slime

2. Decide on a name (if not prenamed), draw them (with effort!), include their number, and send an ask through my askbox!

3. If more than 1 person submits for the same slime, I'll use a wheel/dice to decide who gets it.

4. You have 3 hours (so no rush!), after that the slimes become first-come first-serve.

Cooldowns:

Cooldowns involve skipping 1 batch. (So, when you adopt a slime, you have to skip 1 batch before you can adopt another.)

This cooldown is not tied to any other adopt account, it is separate from them!

Notes:

-Rushed or traced drawings will not be considered during adoption, take your time (if asked, I can also extend the trying time for a slime)

-It must be a colored drawing

-Some slimes are prenamed, others aren't. So if you don't see a name next to the slime, name them in your ask!

-If you didn't get a slime, and you want your art posted, comment under that batch post!

-Using ai will get you banned immediately

-Each slime is numbered, include the number in your ask! The numbers will make it easier for people to look for a specific slime, and I'll also be tagging each post with the slime's number so ya'll can search the tags!

I’m not coming for fairytales. They have their place, but as an aromantic person...I do not feel seen. And then I decided to re-watch Enchanted (pirated, of course, because fuck Disney). And then this idea happened. 

Patton was a child-king who married his best friend when forced to, and then she died in childbirth. He’s given Roman everything he could, but he’s lived his life dictated by the advisors who’ve used him as a puppet king his whole rule. He’s miserable because he doesn’t like how the system functions but he thinks he’s chained to tradition.

Roman copes with his complicated relationship with his father by questing and almost dying, like, every other week. Anxious attachment for days. Boy keeps trying very hard to find a princess and can’t seem to figure out why nothing will stick. To which Patton goes “oh. He got it from me. Oops.”

All I know is Remus is aromantic and aplatonic and exactly as chaotic as he should be.

Roman’s birthday. Ball. The classic. He greets all the noble families and he’s seen those losers a bunch before, but this time, he meets a new “girl” with a family he usually hates who intrigues him. He is not a girl and I will not be misgendering him because ew, but, gist: Virgil, transphobic rich parents forcing him to conform to gender roles, absolutely miserable, in Peak Bitch (gender-neutral) form. Roman mistakenly believes he’s cured and talks Virgil up a lot. Convinces himself he’s fallen madly in love.

Problem is, he tells Patton, who’s shocked he found a “girl” but absolutely is on-board, and then goes to the family to ask for Virgil’s hand and there’s no Virgil.

Thus begins the Mulan ripoff but openly trans where Virgil poses as a boy servant at the castle because his parents can’t get into the castle willy-nilly and it’s the safest place to be. Absolutely loathes Roman’s very existence because that dumb bitch flirted with him while he was a girl and therefore VIrgil thinks he is The WorstTM. Then Roman catches him grouching about and decides to solve this by teaching him sword-play, mostly to give him the excuse to beat on a dummy with a sword-shaped stick. 

Meanwhile Roman is just le sigh I did it again. I connected more with a boy than a girl. Why did she have to run away? Now I’m doomed to be weird.

Well then assassins break into the castle and Ever-Paranoid Virgil immediately susses them out as bad news and uses the remnants of the ball to absolutely wreck them when they try to kill Roman and his father while they’re taking a rare opportunity to chat and bond. Patton decides he is Adopting This Child, fuck you, advisors, he’s as thin as a stick, and Virgil now gets to eat with the royal family. 

It’s the first time Patton has ever actually told his advisors to go fuck themselves. It’s the first step toward a positive turnaround and it happened because Patton’s dad instincts took over and nothing in the world is more valid than that, fight me.

Enter genderqueer icon morally neutral witch, Janus, all pronouns, who’s trying to topple the monarchy to enact lasting change and didn’t want to dirty her hands right away, but honestly people are so unreliable. So he gets onto Patton’s crew as a handmaiden and excuse you who gave the king permission to be actually endearing?

Roman feels slightly weird because Patton’s calling Virgil “kiddo” and he’s not calling him his son but he also treats him very similarly as he does to Roman and Remus, which isn’t great but is significantly better than it could be, but Roman’s got a crush. 

Then Janus finds out Virgil’s trans and reveals this. Virgil thinks he’s about to get blackmailed into murdering the only people who have ever cared about him and then Janus just rolls their eyes like “excuse you I’m evil not psychopathic. I can give you a potion to make your body reflect your mind. You in?”

“Great, so my only cure to stop feeling like frozen trash reheated in a forest fire is to accept the highly dangerous bribe of a definitely evil witch! Thanks! I hate it!”

Yes Virgil memes even in a fantasy world where Tumblr doesn’t exist.

Also Virgil and Roman are bonding. A lot. They’re getting very close and Virgil even lets slip that he loves Roman and then tries to fling himself out a window. Roman gets touched, stops him, and tries to kiss him, but Virgil leans away. Roman expresses confusion.

“I...I love you, but I don’t want to kiss you.”

“I don’t understand.”

“I don’t either. But I’ve...never wanted to kiss anyone. For any reason.”

“But...you still love me?”

“I do. I’m sorry.”

Roman...doesn’t feel as rejected as he thinks he maybe should? Honestly, it’s not totally a relief, but it’s just kinda...neutral. It’s not even a disappointment. 

Well, Janus is not evil and actually wants to run a kingdom (instating a committee mixed of educated rich fucks and working class receiving education) a whole lot more than Patton, who thinks she’s just...kinda awesome and very misunderstood. There’s a lot of hissing and grumbling that they’re not misunderstood, they’re evil, they don’t even have a tragic backstory, they just kill people to enact the change they want to see, just because they got ditched in a forest as a baby and was raised by a magic snake means nothing. The snake was a very loving and supportive parent.

Roman talks to Patton and Patton is like “fuck marriage rules. Fuck heteronormativity. Fuck my advisors. My kingdom is a haven for the gays. All the gays. Of every color. Come here and be merry and queer.”

Virgil’s just like “yo no reason but in this new world where it’s okay to love whatever gender is it maybe cool to be a boy when the world says you’re a girl?”

Janus draws a knife and glares at Patton and Patton’s just like “even if my partner wasn’t threatening to kill me I’d say it was fine why?”

“No reason.”

“Virgil.”

“What?”

“Is there something you want to share?”

“No.”

“Is there something you need to share?”

“Fuck you.”

“You’re being defensive again, Storm Grouch.”

Virgil sticks his tongue out. “Fine. People used to think I was a girl and I have a stupid body. Happy?”

And Patton learns from Janus the fine art of Validating The Fuck Out Of Gender.

The advisors stage a coop and lock Janus in an anti-magic cage, and then at the same time Virgil’s biological nightmares track him down and steal a spelled green apple from Janus’ shop they give Virgil. You know the drill. Deep sleep like death, yadda yadda.

Well, they immediately claim the body making a big dramatic deal about how they have to bury “her” and they’ll take “her” home to see her off and it’s so tragic, just as they were reunited, when the reality is they have the antidote back home, they’re just looking for control over his life again.

Except Roman goes off. “He is staying here where he--where he will be buried under the name Virgil dressed properly and if you came anywhere near his body I’ll kill you myself.”

Guess what constitutes a totally platonic, non-kiss related act of queerplatonic true love, bitch? Fighting your transphobic partner’s parents over their dead body.

Kingdom’s retaken, sweeping reform while Patton retires to be a stay at home dad to fix his relationship with his kids. Virgil gets formerly adopted. The stepparent is actually a morally neutral genderqueer witch who runs the kingdom fairly and justly, the central love story is trans and aromantic, and my queer ass is something resembling happy.
