Zora --> Wataru & BOOM! MOVING ACCOUNTS

Posted 6 years, 6 months ago by Aqua

I finally had a free day to do it!

So please follow me at Zora , because this account is going to be dead, I'm keeping it for old notes and such, also waiting on a couple of OCs to get transferred over

Thank you for all the lovely memories on this account, but it's time for a fresh coat of paint. So I hope to see you over on the new one <3

Things are finally looking up! (BIG NEWS)

Posted 6 years, 7 months ago by Aqua

After months of stress, last minute plans, and a lot of moving

I can finally say I now have a place to call home.

HERE'S MY FUTURE APARTMENT YO!

Trust me, I AM excited but right now, I'm still rather freaking out about the entire thing. Not just because I've never owned my own place in my entire life, but I have to say goodbye to this house as well. It must be burned down due to it's age, but we've made so many memories here. All our Christmases, so many summer get togethers and such, it's truly not going to be the same without it.

But I know my grandmom would want us to be safe and happy, and so I shall be.

I'm still gonna keep my sales up and possibly add a few more, because I want to cushion myself as much as I can.


But I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the summer from the bottom of my heart. This has honestly been one of the hardest summers I ever had in my entire life, but such amazing friends who offered their kind support and help gave me the strength I needed.

Love you all, let's hope fall gives a wonderful beginning.


Two small notes

Posted 6 years, 9 months ago by Aqua

First off, gonna be adding more designs to the sale/trade account. Really trying to crack down on purging and keeping fewer OCs close to me.

Second, gonna finally be replying to all my old comments- yes even the ones from months ago - and clearing out my inbox to start anew.

And to that second note, I will also be screencapping proof of adoption as much as I can. With all the stealing going around, I want to have all my proof of ownership as much as I can.

I do apologize if you don't like old things being replied to, but I'm the type of person who rather reply late than to completely ignore someone..

Help I am so fucking stuck

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago by Aqua

I have no idea what group of OCs I should work on to upload, THERE ARE SO MANY YELLING!

http://www.strawpoll.me/13245291

I've been meaning to post this for 3 weeks, but once my grandmom passed, that just took the energy I had for anything.

 

But some sudden news has come following her death, and while II feel like I'm a (bit) better, I can finally say what I've wanted to say.

 

I've been in this community for about a year now, actually maybe a year and a half, when I think about it. And I've meet some wonderful and lovely people here! In fact, I met two of my besties this way

 

However, two major factors are coming into play.

 

The first, and most important reason, is that I need to finally push off on my own.

 

With my grandmother passing, I now have to set my sights on finally getting my own place. It’s been a long time coming, anyway, but housing in my state is pretty damn expensive to begin with, so I’ve always thought I would have to take it slow. But now that my grandmom is gone, I don’t honestly have a place to live forever. Thanks to my family, they’re allowing me to stay in the house she had for awhile, but it won’t be forever, and I knew I couldn’t stay here forever anyway.

 

So, besides what I owe people, I must stop buying adopts. Even if it’s something I like, I refuse to buy anymore unless it’s really cheap or I MUST have it, and even then I need to put real life over fiction right now.

 

The second, not as important reason, is  I'm getting really tired of the mentality of some of the people here, and how they act.

I get that, it's impossible to expect a lot of people in a community to act reasonable and mature at all times. No matter what site or group of people you’re involved in, drama and shitty people are just gonna happen, you can’t stop it.

 

And maybe it’s because I haven’t been around for years and years like some people have.

 

But either way!

 

Why has it come to this, so much greed and selfishness all for adopts?

 

First off, I have seen SO SO many OCs getting passed around like champagne bottles. It’s really sad. And see, I wouldn’t have so much of a issue with it if people were so upfront about it. But the thing is, they’re not. They do this thing where they post the OC up and write in the bio “OOOHHH DREAMY BABY NEVER GIVING YOU UP! <3” and what do they do a day later?

 

“Uh I don’t like their colors hehe, so TRADE TIME POPULAR CLOSED SPECIES ONLY!”

 

Like jesus christ, don’t pretend. It’s obvious you were going to trade them from the start. I myself have bought OCs but have ALWAYS been upfront with the seller/trader about if I’m gonna swap them or etc. JUST. BE. HONEST. People are so damn pretentious and in the end, the OC isn’t respected as a OC anymore, it’s just a poker chip. And the worst part, that’s probably someone’s dream design but since people only see it like a money ticket, they’ll never have a chance to get it.

 

Another issue I’m starting to notice is that, if someone doesn’t have a lot of CS’s, people tend to...Ignore them? And make them feel isolated?

 

Like..What the fuck?

 

Why is it suddenly a thing to where “Oh if you don’t have $500 worth of closed species, then don’t even breathe in my direction”!? That’s ridiculous, shouldn’t people just you know, bond other a common interest and no money/quantity of adopt status?

 

And relating to that, I’ve seen so many friendships being tested/torn apart by these damn adopts. People have actually abandoned their friends over this! Isn’t that stupid? Giving up on a friend because of what they may or may not have? And also incidents of friends going behind other’s backs and trading off adopts without telling the other, when they had a ship with them or when they knew how much the friend wanted the OC.

 

It’s just really gross and it makes me feel ashamed to be a person L O L

 

And finally, people have, and WILL use you for a adopt. It’s pretty disgusting to use a person’s feelings to try to gain something from them. I’ve seen it happen, and it just really makes me question a lot of people on this site who dabble with adopts.

 

And if I'm gonna be honest, yeah I know I did a thing where I had no room to talk once: I once vouchered off a dreamy for more than it was worth. I didn't know I was doing something wrong, but I do see that now, and I plan to make things right by returning the portion of the money I owed to that person.

 

But yeah, I think this sums up my feelings.

 

(But as a note: if some of my followers worry I'm talking about them, please know I'm not saying this to insult those who DO trade their adopts. I trade my OCs I can't use, I'd be ridiculous of me to insult people for that! I have nothing against trading, it's just when it's done in the manner I described, it feels wrong to me. But those people are usually easy to tell the difference between, so please don't worry, mutuals!)

 

So, am I leaving for good?

 

Nope, I just need to go away from the business side of OCs, for my financial situation and for my mental well being.

 

Then what do you plan to do?

 

A few things are gonna happen:

 

 Purging - Already been doing this, but will be pushing more. And before anyone jumps on my ass, NO I do not PLAN to trade any of my dreamies because unlike some people I actually keep my adopts. (LMAO sorry for the salt) If I do plan to trade any of my dreamies, they'll most likely only go to my best friends, because I trust them to not trade them around. And if they end up not accepting any I give up, then maybe I'll make a post for my mutuals only. We'll see!

Hiatus on being a customer - AKA I'm not gonna be running around and buying a lot of adopts. If I do it's ONLY becasue I must for a story, but like I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I'm gonna be REALLY debating on it. 

Unfollowing spree - if I feel someone has been acting shady toward close friends when it comes to using them for their adopts, I will be unfollowing, but quietly. I don't plan to call-out anyone or PM them a bitching tirade about it, because there's no point. And I don't WANT to be a hateful person, I just want to surround myself with more trustworthy people.

-

 

And this concludes the negative side of my giant update rant. Sometime tonight or tomorrow, I'll be posting on what I plan to do as I still say on TH as a active writer, storybuilder and OC designer!

Saying Goodbye to a wonderful grandmom

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago by Aqua

As much as I tried to ready myself for it, you never really do.

She passed in the company of my sister and I. I know she wanted to be with her grandkids and I'm glad I at least was able to say goodbye.

Rest in peace, nanny. You were a perfect grandmom. You had a charming personality and a golden heart. You loved your cats and always put your grandchildren and family first.

You're with grandad and father now. I believe you'll be by our side forever.

Thank you for everything, we all love you so much

Shipping - my rules & guidelines!

Posted 7 years, 4 months ago by Aqua

Since I have SO many basis when it comes to shipping with me, I feel like I just need to make my own section about it L O L anyway~

 

General things-

 

  • Most (but not all!) of my OCs are singleship/monogamous - What does this mean? It means if you ship with my OC, my OC will forever and always be paired with yours. Even if I do multiple AUs with said OC, they will still be romantically involved with yours.

 

  • “I multiship my OCs, can we still ship?” - WELL…. Maybe. A huge maybe. Usually, this is a straight up no, as I feel better if the other OC is also monogamous. However, I have made some exceptions in the past, and I may still do so now. That’s usually for closer friends, but there’s no harm in asking? The worst I’ll do is politely say no anyway.

 

  • Gender preference - I...Honestly don’t have one? Or, a huge one at least. I admit, I do have a somewhat noticeable preference for lesbian and hetero ships, but don’t let this sway you! I absolutely LOVE variety and I adore every single ship I have, and let me tell you, I have a fair amount of maleXmale and non-binary involved ships to fill a couple cruise ships.

 

 

  • I won’t ship underaged OCs with OCs of age because yeah no wtf um

 

 

  • “Can I ship my OC with yours even though your OC is shipped with a canon character-” - NOPE NOPE NOPE NOT ever. I don’t care if you dislike/not keen on OCXCanon, I adore all my OCXCanon ships and will never part with them. Please respect this. This also applies to OCs shipped off with other OCs but that should already go without saying.

 

  • My OCs are very shuffled, and so… - Make sure you read up on the OC before you ask for a ship. Some are easy enough to date, some will need some time, some are NEIGH IMPOSSIBLE to ship with, due to it being just as they are. I will not make anyone easier to ship with for no one.

 

  • Related to the previous statement… - Just because I may give you a chance to ship with one of my OCs, does NOT guarantee you will get a ship. I’m not severely picky, but still picky enough, and for good reason. I refuse to have my OCs settle with just any OC. After all, I’m serious about my ships, so I want to make sure they truly found their perfect match.

 

  • “I really like one of your OCs, but I don’t have a fitting OC on me for them. Could I make them a love interest?” - also a HUGE maybe. Ask, but keep in mind about half of my OCs I feel can’t have a “love interest made just for them”.

 

  • Smut = Prefered but NOT required - I mean, I won’t lie. I enjoy smut. A lot. However! I will never force anyone to participate in it,especially if it makes them uncomfortable. And this does not mean you can’t ship with me, I will gladly go for a ship without sexual additions. But some of my OCs need sexual relations, so just look at them thoroughly first!
  • No communication = no ship - I won’t lie, I’ve done this with a couple of people in the past, so thus I know it’s a shitty thing to do to someone. Thus, I’ve gotten a lot better about communicating with my shipmates. Therefore, if I find you don’t even try to maintain the ship or help me develop it, I’ll just drop it after a couple months. Like, why would I keep trying for a ship if I’m not getting a 50/50 commitment? A waste of time, if you ask me

 

  • And of course, my ships are for good - I don’t plan on ever breaking up any ship I ever make, and so I expect you to always keep them as well. It’s a bit silly to develop a ship for a year then drop it for no reason. Why wouldn’t you want to keep a ship?

 

  • I will invest in the ship! - AKA I will buy art, write things and keep records of headcanons about them. I really enjoy going out all for my babies!

 

 

Shipping themes I favor-

 

  • Vampire-involved couples (MMMMMMMMMM MAN I JUST-)

 

  • Interspecies or interracial couples (FUCK ME I JUST LOVE LOVE SEEING TWO PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES OR SPECIES BONDING THROUGH LOVE IT FIRES ME UP SO MUCH I WANT 500 SHIPS OF THIS, BONUS POINTS IF IT’S A GAY SHIP TOO)

 

  • Fantasy/supernatural ships  (A lot of my OCs aren’t human so yeah, kinda needed haha)

 

  • Master/boss getting with their servant/worker (Cliche as hell yes, but I REALLY find it too cute)

 

  • Fan dating their idol (ALSO cliche as hell but hEY I’M A CHEESEBALL)

 

  • Age difference (NOTHING TOO OUT THERE LOL I just find it cute when I see younger adults getting with older people (hot dads and moms ya know L M A O)

 

 

Shipping themes I will never do-

 

  • Abuse (I don’t really think abusive ships are “hot” or “exciting” or whatever shit people say about them. I wont’ shame people who ship such ships, but they really aren’t for me. I rather have a mutual consent and loving relationship between OCs. Don’t confuse this for “a couple that’s not that romantic but still love each other” because that’s definitely different)

 

 

  • Ships that require a kink I do not like, AKA scat, vore, etc

 

 

  • One-sided relationships for the long term (Like I’m totally okay if you want to plot out a OC crushing on yours and it turns into this kinda angsty ordeal of feelings being rejected and all that, but I don’t want to do a situation where it’s going to be a lovelorn thing forever. That would get boring fast and I would rather my OC move on and finally find someone they could be with, and I’m sure you’d want the same.)

 

  • Purely sexual ships (I mean if you want some one-night stand RPs, you can talk to me about it. But if you want a ship with no emotions involved and pure sex, then I’m not your girl. As much as I enjoy porn, I really would get bored of it quickly, as I love a balance of emotions and sex in a relationship)

 

About me~~~

Posted 7 years, 4 months ago by Aqua

 

 

Zora~

 

Cis female // 25 // demi/biromantic - demibisexual // dating the lovely bettycrocker <3 // Capricorn/Monkey // Always fucking the ocean // Professional shiny whore // vampirefucker69 // gijinka of this video /// I FUCKED A CLOWN ONE TIME OKAY Grima LET ME LIVE MY LIFE

 

I should have made this page like 600000000000000000 years ago and I FINALLY did all hail me!

 

I’m just a emotional but chill gal who really really enjoys OCs and writing stories about them. I’ve held this passion for about ten years, and while I’m no professional at either category by any means, I still feel I’ve come a long way from where I started (alll the wayyyy back in 5th grade EYUP). My main goal for this site is to not only have ALL my ocs bunched together in one chaotic cornicopia, but also seek others who share my passions and perhaps create new stories and adventures with such people.

 

When I’m not obsessing over fictional characters, you can also find me interested in-

 

Astronomy, music, folklore of various kinds, reading, drawing, loving my cats, collecting perfume bottles and various gemstones and metals, and obviously rather into various anime, shows and games

 

PLEASE hit me up if-

 

  • Just wanna talk and possibly form a friendship!

 

  • Add me elsewhere (I’m on Deviantart, skype, discord, twitter and tumblr)

 

  • Wanna ask me for RPs (Info on that is on the front of my TH)

 

  • Need someone to talk to (I’m no professional, but I always try my best to help people if they’re upset or angry about something)

 

  • Want to work out a trade on my Joker account (more info on the front of my TH)

 

 

PLEASE DO NOT hit me up if-

 

  • You’re gunning for one of the OCs on this Toyhouse (I literally said this on the front of my TH but some people don’t pay attention SO :,) )

 

  • You want to diss me because I own female OCs (MAN Don’t even get me started on this you’ll be here for seven hours)

 

  • You’re mad at me for shipping a OC with the same canon character you are (THIS IS LITERALLY SUCH A STUPID ARGUEMENT??? Oh my God I’ve had to deal with this more than I should in a lifetime, if you’re one of those people possessive over canon characters, okay whatever floats your boat but you’re probably not someone I care to interact with)

 

 

Thanks for looking at this, hope you have a nice week! <3

Bi erasure - Don't. Fucking. Do it.

Posted 7 years, 8 months ago by Aqua

Ya know, I'm in a pretty bad mood, so what better time to rant about something that REALLY REALLY pisses me off?

Bi erasure.

 

It's actually all too common than most people think. For some reason, people out there honestly believe that, yes, some people aren't GAY enough or are "too straight". Like my favorite example is "Oh, you can't be a bi girl, you're dating a male LOLOLOL"

Jfc, shut the FUCK UP

If someone identifies as bi, then THEY are bi. If they fall in love with their opposite gender for whatever reason, DON'T FUCKING INVALIDATE IT. This also goes for bi people who happen to be dating the same gender, don't say they are now "only into their own gender" if they STILL identify as bi!!!!

 

Also, it's STILL possible and PERFECTLY acceptable to have a preference. Bi person prefers dating someone who's their gender? STILL BI. Bi person has a perf for dating the opposite? STILL FUCKING BI.

I think another thing that really made me mad, is the fact that some people ACTUALLY think "oh you like male OCs or you enjoy malexMale relationships, uh you're not really into your gender then are you? LOLOLOL"

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? I WASN'T AWARE THERE WAS SOME DAMN LAW SAYING "IF YOU'RE BI YOU CAN ONLY BE INTERESTED IN ONE GENDER" PLEASE SHOW ME THIS RULEBOOK

And honestly? This goes for homosexuals as well. OF COURSE gay people can like people who are the opposite gender! Oh my God, how does that even make sense? So they can't be friends with the opposite gender, or enjoy opposite gender characters?

And honestly? This isn't just even with bi people. It happens a LOT for pansexuals, and those who fall under the aro/ace specturm, including greysexuals and such.

It's just gross and wrong.

Put a end to it, I shouldn't have to feel invalidated because of your close mind.  

OC Moment #1

Posted 7 years, 11 months ago by Aqua

When you have a OC for less than a day and they pretty much wrote themselves (personality, history, details)
