#bara adoption

"Hey guys! I know everyone is getting really excited for the adoption day event, and to kind of get into the spirit, the team here is ready to answer your questions!" MK says excitedly, vibrating just a bit. "You can either talk to the boys as normal, of course, or you can ask some of those more specific questions you had in mind in preparation for Adoption Day!"

"things're startin' to look a bit more solid," Stretch says, putting one hand on MK's head to stop her from vibrating. "so the questions will help us figure out what's left to be done so that things run smoother on adoption day."

"AND IN OTHER NEWS, WE HAVE REACHED OUR FIRST STRETCH GOAL!" Papyrus exclaims. "WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT NIGHTSHADES AND TRAMPS WILL ALSO BE AVAILAVLE ON FRIDAY! Those are the Swapfell brothers, by the way."

"guess that means i can answer some questions, too," Mutt chuckles.

Black pulls up a chart to show the goals:

But, I want to post something for you guys to show I'm not just sitting around--do you want to see my d20 and d100 tables for randomly selecting Adoptables and quirks? Or beta bios? Maybe just answer some adoptables questions?

Hey there! I’m Fluffy, of @flufflebones fame, here to get set up with a bara if possible! I can provide proof of my ko-fi donation/ownership of the flufflebones blog if needed, but!

  I’m a digital artist and caretaker to two very demanding individuals in a bit of a tough spot financially and emotionally, ideally looking for a friend first and romantic/sexual partner (somewhat shortly) after– Though I’d like to take it a little slow on the romantic front, to make sure that I’m personally in a place where being in a relationship serves to improve both of our lives rather than only satisfying one of us/our needs. Our housing situation is going to be changing rapidly and without warning for a while until we’re in someplace concrete, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on eachother– Or that I’ll give up on my boy when things get tough.

I’d ideally need support in most regards (financial, physical, emotional, etc), at least until the worst of my current life situation blows over and I’m able to seek help for myself to attempt to improve my ability to move forward, and would definitely at least be able to provide comfort and support emotionally/physically to them in return– Though, given my background and general aversion to louder, bombastically aggressive/demeaning personalities, I’m not sure that the more extreme skeletons would be a perfect fit, aha.

I get attached relatively easily, and actually kind of prefer others being attached to me so long as they tolerate my interactions with others and give me some breathing room from time to time when asked (as I’d do the same for them). I’m personally very open to the concept of having more than one bara, and would like to consider it for the future, but don’t feel *super* strongly about it either way– As long as they’re willing to make sure they take care of me as I care for them, they’re good.

As a note; I was paired with Stretch here https://msmkcreates.tumblr.com/post/173897179458/hey-there-matchmaker-help-me-out-please-im-51 and would definitely like some of the details here to be included in consideration for the new match; Though I’m still caring and still something of a peacemaker, recent events have basically eroded my softer edges– I can snap and get upset/frustrated easily, I no longer completely prioritize others over myself (at least for the sake of my health, lmao), and though I try to mediate wherever I can (more for my sake now than anything else) I’ve noticed that my fuse has gotten significantly shorter and my body gets tired more and more easily– so I’d probably need a bara who’s chill with… all that, lmao. Thank you for the help! I’m leaning toward Honey and Tramp type baras, but i’m definitely curious to see what you suggest/what you think about my preferences.

The gifts that I’ve brought are as follows;

-A resin pendant, with the suspended materials inside resembling a little universe (gold flecks serving as further off stars, a white swirl as space dust) all centered around a small opal that serves as its star, set on a pink background. Its a gift that I treasure dearly from a friend, and if prompted to explain its significance I’d gladly go on for hours about how I use smaller wearable trinkets as a method of reassurance– It’s a solid, physical reminder of the fact that others are there for me, something that I can hold on to when I feel like I’m losing control of the situation at large.

-a black ‘leather’ sketchbook filled to the brim with countless sketches, medium tests, and “finished” artwork of my characters, fandom characters, or still life subjects. Some of the sketches are nsfw, but the most stand out trait of the sketchbook is that the artwork shows a steady progression in terms of artistic growth, and is marked with notes that i’ve added in hindsight; encouraging little footnotes that remind me to keep moving forward, rather than moving back.

- I’d probably offer them an acoustically sung song or two rather than a third ‘item’ gift, though i guess a booklet of the lyrics for the various songs (because i can’t memorize worth shit, whoops) could count? These songs are all, like, something that can be repeated a few times and sung at slower tempos if a bara wants to try and dance a little with me while I sing, you know? You can find a general idea of what sort of songs would be sung (here), and I’d largely be picking the songs in random order while going through the ceremony; Music is a big thing for me, same as art, and singing always makes me feel a little more vulnerable and open to others– I hope that it shows!

 [Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put into this event; You’re doing an amazing job!]

Before MK can say anything, Mutt has swept you into his arms to twirl across the floor, chuckling at your surprise as he starts to sing “Paris in the Rain” in a low voice. He gives you a twirl and lands a kiss on your cheekbone that sets your face aflame. Behind him you watch MK bristle a bit, and Boss scoff about his manners.

“As you can see, Tramps definitely take a liking to all that you’ve said,” MK says, snapping her fingers. Mutt squeaks as foxfire clutches his hood and pulls him staggering backwards away from you.

“anywhere with you feels right~” Mutt croons sweetly at the kitsune as if begging forgiveness for his boldness. “anywhere with you feels like--”

“ANYWAY,” MK says loudly, exasperated, and Mutt’s face falls a bit. “A Tramp would be a wonderful partner for you. Artsy, music lovers, and prone to wearing a lot of sentimental accessories. They’re good workers despite seeming to be lazy, and they’ve got wandering souls so they won’t mind moving about so long as they have you.”

“am i in trouble?”

“However you might not want one of these flirts if you have a temper like me,” MK scoffs, not answering his question but somehow still answering it.

*Comes in carrying a pretty large covered basket*

Hello everyone! Sorry I'm a little late to the party!

A little about me; People tend to call me a mom friend, due to my habit of mother-henning everyone I know. Along with that, I love to cook and feed people-- hence all this! *Removes the cover to reveal a whole bunch of muffins* This is my first gift, and it's for anyone who wants one! I love trying new recipes and sharing what I make with as many people as I can!

I also tend to be pretty patient and tolerant... Though those have definitely been developed traits. While I love being able to be a supportive listener, it doesn't mean I don't have a temper, or that I don't like to play rough sometimes! Despite that though, I would consider myself to be pretty laid back and low energy.

Speaking of playing, my second item is my video game collection! I'm very competitive, and love going head to head in all kinds of video games! I play pretty frequently, though my favorite ones are those I can play with friends! A day spent at home trying new recipes and playing games is pretty ideal to me.

I also brought my iPod with me... Music is so important to me, and I have a pretty wide variety of what I like! I also love to sing, and performing music gives me the most intense thrill! I sing, whistle, or hum pretty much constantly to the annoyance of some, so I apologize in advance!

Finally, I brought a few of my favorite books with me! As much as I love gaming, I have always loved reading, ever since I was really young. I love fantasy and romance novels, and SO much poetry and history, but what really gets me is a good adventure! (R.A Salvatore anyone?)

I'm very open to all attachments and behaviors, and I'm more than willing to put in the effort and time for more challenging companions! I'm willing to take things are someone else's pace!

As for the type of relationship I'm looking for... Well, to be honest, I don't have anything specific in mind. Ultimately, wherever we end up, friendship is most important to me, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I'd never expect anything more, but I wouldn't necessarily be opposed...

I won't lie, I had a certain somebody in mind, but it doesn't seem like they've come to the party just yet. But! Regardless, I'd love to see what you recommend as a good fit for me, MK! :)

((Thank you for the coffee!☕ Sorry I couldn't get to you last night, but I'll make sure you're first today!))

"Oohhh, muffins!" MK squeaks, tails flicking.

"oh no, her one weakness, food," mutt chuckles, reaching over and snagging a muffin before MK and the other destroy it. "tibianest, it's my one true weakness, too. think you'd do well with a tramp--hangin' around at home, cookin' and music and video games? sounds like heaven to me."

"maybe a honey, too, we like all those things," Stretch reminded him, smacking him with a paper. "problem is, honeys and tramps are both pretty clingy. not to say we're overbearing, we're both low handling so it isn'tlike we can't be apart--we just really like attention."

"If you really like your space but also like cooking and music, a Nightshade is a good partner! Not to mention they're more than happy to do the work to keep the house supplied so you can focus on whatever hobbies you like," MK offers, clutching a blueberry muffin. "They aren't much for video games but even they can be convinced to unwind with you and some Smash Bros after a long work day."

We've broken our first donation for adoptables! Thank You so much!

I can't tell you how excited I am to put the time into these adoptables. Keep in mind that the $150 goal is what keeps me working on adoptables as well as other projects you might enjoy, like my stories, in lieu of taking commissions.

Submission or ask?

Submission, please, if it is too long for one ask!

Another submission/ask, or should we reblog?

I’d like to keep it all in one thread, so please reblog yours if you can.

Do we have to matchmake?

Absolutely not, you’re welcome to simply ask for a breed and offer your gifts. Matchmaking is just part of the fun and helps us make sure everyone ends up happy!

No rush, but is there any way to get my matchmaking done faster?

Absolutely! You can [Buy me a coffee] to expedite your submission! Just make sure and tell me that’s what it’s for!

Can we adopt rares today?

I’m tempted to open rare commission, but they wouldn’t be priority, so unless you are willing to wait a week plus, probably not. However, if you don’t mind going to the end of the winners’ list (That would be at least 5 commissions before I got to yours) then we could discuss it. Message me at @msmkcreates if that’s the case.

What are the donations for? Didn’t we fundraise already?

Yes, we did, and every penny has gone to bills! You guys actually paid for me and my husband to be able to see our family at Thanksgiving, and we are very grateful!

Donations during this event are more of a way to gauge the adoptables as a long-term business plan, as well as just because I often get asked how people can support me. Every piece of art I’m putting out today is free--and I’ve already received more than enough submissions to equal the number of free adoptables the community helped pay for. I’m not at all trying to money-grab here or anything, but you’ll never get anything if you don’t put it out there, right?

If you donate today, you get entered in a drawing to win a Custom Bonded Pair (2 skellies of your choice, unique art, plus a short drabble!)

Are all the portraits the same with minor changes?

MK!!! What’s up?! Heard there was a party over here on this blog 😉

So, I’d like to give the matchmaking process a whirl. I guess I’ll start off with describing myself.

I’m what the kids call ObnoxiusTM. My favorite thing to do is embarrass my little (teenaged) brothers by dabbing and doing fortnite dances; their cringes fuel my “big sister” powers. So yeah, I have very little shame when it comes to having fun. Additionally I need constant stimulation (visual, auditory, sensory, doesn’t matter), and my mind is prone to wander as well as my feet. I have been known to meander away from my group on field-trips/vacations, but it’s only because there’s so much to see (and I want to see it all).

Despite the above description, I’m definitely introverted, and while I love people and getting to know them, being sociable takes effort on my part. I’m only ever really recharged whenever I’m by myself or with one or two other people who are very close to me (i.e. family and besties).

Creation is a pretty large motivating force for me. As you know I love to draw, but I’m also learning how to code. Something about the practical, hands-on disciplines excite me, even though my degrees are in Biochemistry and Medical Laboratory Science (more analysis than production). And if we’re throwing in SOUL traits, mine is a toss-up between integrity and determination; I haven’t really settled on one yet.

Okay, now about the Baras. I’m looking specifically for a close/romantic relationship. I’m open to anyone, but being in an environment where harsh words are leveled at me constantly is a big no no. I’m fairly stubborn, and one thing I will not tolerate is toxic behavior, especially since I’ve seen so many family and friends go down that path of getting involved with abusive people. In some ways this also makes it harder for me to open-up romantically. While I desperately crave the companionship, I do have trust issues, less concerning loyalty and more concerning the way I’ll be treated. However, once I love someone, I’m all in, and my primary displays of affection are physical touch and quality time.

I shall bring three gifts: 1. A tiny music box because I’ve always been fascinated by their mechanics and love the little melodies. 2. A potted baby succulent because they’re cute and I have several sprinkled about my house which makes it feel more like a home. And 3. A lovingly framed picture of the Old Spice Man on his horse because why the hell not?

Sorry it’s so long, I got carried away lol. (Psst, also please don’t feel obligated to choose Spicy because I have UF!Papyrus as my icon. I want to see who you would genuinely pair me up with.) Thanks friend ^3^ ~<3

"Throughout your description one of the biggest things I noted was that you should not be paired with a Spice, actually," MK says with a shrug. "They're much too aggressive and Tsundere for you, and that always comes in the form of compliments thinly veiled as insults, so yeah, no."

"I THINK A HONEY WOULD BE GOOD FOR HER! OR A BERRY!" Papyrus offers, handing you the pamphlets for the mentioned breeds.

"Oh, absolutely," MK says. "Honeys and Berries are notorious for treating their partners with respect and admiration. Berries are incredibly vocal about their affections first and foremost, and though they aren't as easily attached they do make sure you know they think about you when they have to be away. They're big fans of hands-on crafting and sewing, making costumes and sparring alike, but are also gentle in touch and pacifists."

"HONEYS LOVE THE FINE ARTS! WRITING, SINGING, MUSIC, AND SOMETIMES DRAWING! YOU'LL OFTEN FIND YOUR HONEY WRITES YOU POETRY OR SONGS BECAUSE SOMETIMES JUST WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH!" Papyrus adds. "THEY LOVE HOUSES FULL OF LAZY SUNBEAMS, CUDDLES, THE SMELL OF FRESHLY BAKED COOKIES, AND AMBIENT MUSIC!"

"A Berry might be a bit much, since they are incredibly social and attention-seeking. They firmly believe in not wasting a moment of the day. Honeys want attention but they can get it in the quiet of doing nothing together." MK pats Stretch's jaw gently as he leans over to rest his head on her shoulder. "So it's really up to you!"
