My Favorite Stuff To Work On

I'll take requests for any sources not on here as long as there isn't anything saying otherwise atm or overlap with my nope lists, but these are the requests that will get done faster if I run into an inspiration block!- "traditional' nonhuman stuff: otherkin/hearted/links, therians, etc (especially fae, seals, snakes, horses, dogs and other canids, dragons and related creatures, etc).
- The Legend of Zelda (including games that aren't officially canon like Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity) note: this currently excludes Tears of the Kingdom right now for spoiler reasons!
- Digimon
- Pokemon
- Stardew Valley + mods (especially Stardew Valley Expanded!)
- Final Fantasy (especially 9, 12, and 14)
- Tales of series
- Genshin Impact
- Temeraire books
- Forgotten Realms, especially DnD (including player characters and characters from things like Critical Role)
- Sanrio and San-X
- DC universe (most familiar with the animated stuff with special soft spots forTeen Titans 2003, Justice League, and Static Shock, overall really into the Arrowfam and Batfam)
- Fire Emblem
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Sailor Moon
- CardCaptor Sakura
- traditional magical girl stuff in general.
- Monster High + Ever After High
- classic cartoons from the 80s/90s/early 00s, especially the ones that aired on Cartoon Network (minus anything by Butch Hartman)
- noncanon characters for any of the above

BYF

I block people for the following:

I usually err on the side of caution and block pretty liberally. I don't like causing a scene so I generally do it without warning or comment unless I have to delete something. If you were blocked despite not fitting anything on this list and not being a jerk/troll/anti-alterhuman or rude to people who practice magic/making me uncomfortable, it was most likely because of a misunderstanding (ex: you have no posts reblogged and/or default everything, so I thought the blog was a bot).If you think it was a misunderstanding and want me to unblock you, have someone send me an ask with the name of your blog-- I of course won't publish it, I just need to know which blog to check for. (If I receive an anon ask, I'll post something like 'for the person who asked about the blog starting with <letter>' and then explain what's up in a way that won't get you identified.- you're a bigot, exclusionist, supremacist, or otherwise generally crappy person. This includes but is not limited to: racists, antisemites, Islamaphobes, homophobes, ace/aro/bi/pan/omni/nonbinary/etc exclusionists, transphobes, transmeds, ableists, radfems, proselytizers, pro-life/anti abortion, tradwife, etc.
- if you reblog from or otherwise support any of the above.
- you're a pedo/MAP/NOMAP/PEAR, zoophile, incel, etc. (or post related content).
- you're alt right, Qanon, pro-cop/US military complex, anti-BLM, anti-vax, etc.
- you have a weight loss, body shaming, or pro-ED blog/sideblog (including liking, posting related content, having a related URL, or using the tags), reblog from, or otherwise interact with pro-ED and/or weight loss content. this is your heads up that I report pro-ED blogs to Tumblr for self harm when I see them, meaning you'll risk your blog being terminated.
- you post porn or obvious fetish content on main. (this does not mean artistic nudity) No shade or whatever, I'm just super uncomfortable seeing what butters your bread right out of the gate if I click your blog lol.
- you post self harm, graphic true crime, realistic graphic violence, realistic gore or guro art, think it's okay to tell people to self-delete or otherwise harass people over discourse, don't tag violent vent posts, etc.
- reality shifters
- you identify as a fujoshi or fudanshi.
- you identify as an IRL yandere or have a yandere character kintype, post/reblog any sort of yandere (yangire/yancore/etc) content, have a yandere (yangire/yancore/etc) themed blog/sideblog/URL, otherwise romanticize stalking, etc.
- you appropriate from closed (or initiatory-only) traditions or cultures without being part of the culture or accessing them through proper channels. (this includes gentiles who work with Lilith- here is a post about that if you're curious.)
- you identify as w*ndigokin, ‐hearted, etc without being indigenous or refer to the emaciated deer person as a w*ndigo without being indigenous. Read more here. (I know there's non-appropriative terms for the creepy deer cryptid like wenditcher, rotstag, skullbeast, deerman, etc., and some people consider them to be variants of the Jersey devil or creatures from open folklore like the leshy. If you do one of these things, this doesn't apply to you!)

General nopes

I reserve the right to decline any requests I'm not comfortable doing that aren't on this list or the nope source list. If I do, I'll let you know and you can submit another request though!(heads up that while I'll do requests from movies and plays, I don't really... watch many movies or plays due to my specific neurodivergences, so there's a chance any requests involving those could take a while due to research!)I will do horror requests, but only on a case by case basis because I'm frankly a weenie and a lot of what makes me uncomfy is a context thing, so there isn't really a clear line for me to point at and say "anything past here is too much". Horror requests that I accept will be tagged with #horrorkit and/or #horror tw so people who need to can blacklist or filter that accordingly.Finally, if I post something for a series or character that sounds like something I might be uncomfortable with (or if the creator said/did some stuff that does) please let me know if you can!! Send me an ask and I'll look into it and decide if I need to take it down. I get a lot of requests for stuff I know nothing about, and while I do a lot of research it's not always enough to pick up on stuff like that.

- NSFW content. There may be minimal artistic nudity in care kits if I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm making something for another adult, but the nudity itself won't be directly included in the kit and I'll make it very clear that you shouldn't click that link if you're underage or it bothers you.
- other commonly triggering subjects. This is subject to a bit of mod discretion but this is a catchall for stuff that more people than not would be extremely uncomfortable with. It includes themes like sexual assault, gore (light blood is fine, but will be tagged), animal or people corpses (skeletons are fine, but will be tagged), stalking, self harm, abusive relationships, etc. (but recovery from anything like that is totally okay!)
- traumacore/emptycore/gorecore aesthetics. Your coping mechanisms are your business, I'm just not comfy with them.
- overt ship stuff. This was originally just in the moodboard section but I decided to move it for clarity. I'll slip an allusion to someone you're missing (romantically or otherwise) in a care kit or do moodboards about things like being in love in general, but anything more overt than that is a nope due to the extra time and energy shippy stuff takes.
- content creator based requests. This includes stuff like YouTuber/musician alter egos, MCYTs, Vtubers, Eddsworld, Sanders Sides, etc. (however I'll totally do stuff like characters from tabletop campaigns run by content creators!)
- photos or super realistic art of worms and certain bugs, specifically spiders, roaches, centipedes, and stinging insects. Stylized stuff is fine though!

Nope Sources

This list is sorted into three sections: whole categories of stuff (ex: a genre, all work by a certain creator), stuff I want to see/read/play it myself and will come off later once I've done the thing (listed in bold), and individual sources. Individual sources are listed alphabetically by English title.All of these really boil down to my personal comfort, but sources in italics don't have anything egregiously sucky going on with them/their creators as far as I'm aware. They're just stuff I'm not interested in doing for one reason or another.- Activision Blizzard content. This includes Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Spyro, Skylanders, Diablo, etc.

Divination

I offer two types of divination regularly, rune readings and tarot readings. (pendulum readings are special occasion only as of January 4, 2022.)For tarot or runes, I'll pull one to three cards or three runes (depending on what type of divination you wanted), but I'll pull more if I feel it's necessary.For pendulum readings, I will consult my pendulum about a question you ask. Depending on how it moves in response, I'll interpret it to mean a yes, no, or maybe.The rules are the same regardless though:- I don't do private readings (over ask or DM), but anon is on!
- if you submit an anon ask, sign it with your initials, kin name, zodiac sign if you know it, etc.
- you can request multiple readings but please submit them one at a time!
- I won't do readings about medical issues, sex (romance is fine though!), or time sensitive issues.
- Yes/no questions are pendulum only.
- please be patient with rune and tarot readings-- they take a lot of energy. But if I haven't gotten to your request in three or four days, feel free to send it again because Tumblr probably ate it.
- always remember you know yourself best while I'm just a fallible stranger on the internet. If something I tell you feels strongly incorrect, it likely is.

Care Kits

Self Care Kits

Self-care kits are collections of 5-8 items to help you de-stress, stim, or get in touch with your kintype with links to items you can actually buy! These can include things like fun soaps, fidget toys, candles, stress balls, stim jewelry, regular jewelry, pins, squishies, accessories like hats/scarves, plushies, bath/shower fizzies, slime, scented body lotions, etc.(note: I don't do fashion kits or mess with human clothes at all and if I get a request for fashion kits, I'll delete it. You're welcome to resubmit without the clothes or make another request though!)I need to know:- your kintype and any other relevant information
- what country you're from if you're from outside of the US. I try to pick items from people's countries (or at least regions) to cut down on shipping costs/time.
- per item budget if you have one, ex: each item costs no more than $15 US. (please use per item over total budget if you can! It's easier on me.) If you don't have a budget, I'll pick from a variety of items that are almost always ~$45 US or less. I may go a bit over if I find something absolutely perfect though.
- sites you don't want me to use, if applicable. I usually use a combination of Etsy, eBay, Redbubble, and Amazon.
- any other information worth noting-- things like allergies for me to look out for, if you can't burn things where you live, specific items to add/leave off, or even 'my favorite color is green'.

low buy care kits

Like self care kits but for folks who want more of a focus on tutorials, projects, and/or crafts!I still need to know your kintype and any other sort of relevant information, but I also need to know what sort of things you're looking for-- writing prompts, drawing tutorials, coloring pages, scrapbooking supplies, general crafting, etc.It'd also be nice (but not necessary) to know what supplies if any you have. And that's pretty much it!

Moodboards

Moodboards are collages of 4-8 images meant to capture the mood or evoke the essence of something-- in this case, you!As of November 2021 I operate on a three moodboard queue-- I take three, close moodboards, finish all three, then reopen when I'm ready. Basically, if there's something you really want me to make you might want to copy it down somewhere because I'll be deleting requests received once the queue is full.If you want a moodboard I need to know:- your kintype
- general overall mood and/or aesthetic you want me to go for-- if you don't specify I'll use my best judgment (heads up that I'm slightly out of touch sometimes lol so I might miss some of the nuances when people talk about [insert aesthetic here]core. Please feel free to correct me if I miss the mark on something because I'll be happy to remake it!)
- some stuff you liked or had an affinity for-- some examples are places (can either be a general statement like "the beach" or specific source locations), hobbies, etc
- any other things worth noting-- things like color preference, stuff not to use, etcMoodboards do tend to take longer than care kits, so heads up!

Tag List

A brief description of the content tags I use so you can filter things accordingly. This isn't a comprehensive list at the moment, but it's getting there. Please let me know if I need to add anything for you!In general I use the "[content] tw" format.- horror tw/horrorkit: anything created for a character in a horror franchise.
- Blood tw: light blood- small cuts, a bit of spatter, etc. Heavy blood will not be showing up here. (You may also want to filter fake blood tw, as I use that for fake blood that may or may not look real.)
- weirdcore tw: aesthetic that a lot of people find unsettling.
- medical tw: for medical aesthetics/items, or detailed discussion of medical/health/illness related things.
- glitch tw: anything using glitchy imagery.
- spooky tw/unsettling tw: for moodboards with potentially unsettling or unnerving imagery, like forests full of eyes or dark sea floor things.
- bug tw: anything relating to insects, even if they're not real.
- eye tw/eye contact tw: for things with a focus on eye imagery (there won't be injuries or blood though).
- teeth tw: imagery of teeth of any sort in moodboards, human teeth-themed items in care kits.
- skull tw: for any depiction of skulls.
- animal product tw/animal teeth tw: usually used in care kits for things like claws, fur, etc. Animal teeth is, of course, for teeth and fangs.
- anger tw/anxiety tw/depressed vibes tw: for moodboard vibes, just in case somebody's not in the right headspace for them.
- Christianity tw/xtianity tw/Christmas tw/Easter tw most people using Tumblr are from culturally Christian countries. Many of us have had less than great experiences with the religion if not straight up religious trauma.
