Hey peeps, we're going to be making the CloverCoin TH account the official clo account here, managed by staff and not AJ by herself any more. It will host mascots and NPCs. And pillowings available for sale!

Looking for AJ's personal characters and adoptables? She's moved to Flipside so follow her there if you want to see character sales, trades, or freebies from her private/personal collection. c:

welp I can't really log into the clovercoin DA page for emotional stability sake. sucks because I was hoping to seal a lot of trades and didn't the chance.

opened up a new trade journal on my NSFW personal DA account Tailsideup.

if you're interested in cs or characters I own, go check that out. 

I'll be trying to look at messages/comments here on toyhouse, I see I have a lot built up and haven't read.

Deleted my profile page with the intent to redo it sometime. everything lately just making me sad and bored to look at so maybe i just need to redo stuff? shrugs. 

since that info is all gone, I wanted to make a quick bulletin for generic info about me/my characters!! RULES OF CLOVERCOIN CHARACTERS? lol

- I always love gift art. Any skill. Any reason. The fact you made it for me is fucking awesome and yes please show me. ;; <3 You do not need permission to draw fanart of my characters ever, ya'll good to go.

*super important note; did you draw me fanart and it's not in the character's toyhouse gallery? That's ok that's just aj being sad and not keeping up with her file keeping. She would REALLY REALLY love a nudge or reminder it exists so she can add it to the gallery!!! ;w; I'm very sorry for all the stuff I missed over 2018.. it's just been a rough year and I'm trying to recover it all now slowly.

- If anyone orders commission artwork of my characters, that's.. weird if we don't know each other but I think I'm actually chill with it so long as you ping me/show it to me as well. It's a weird concept I've seen happen mostly only in the furry community and even then super rare. I don't wanna assume people just gonna randomly commission art of MY characters for themselves ??? but ey, these are my thoughts i guess. If we're friends who talk regularly, we often share characters obviously I'm chill with it. _へ__(‾◡◝ )>

- Adult artwork/fanart. I'm personally cool with it, however I might want you to check in with me real fast on who you want to draw. Most of my characters are 100% fine to draw smut of for any reason, but there might be a few that just have sentimental values that I might not want adult works of. I don't have very many characters like that, but hey it's always best to just ask me. I promise you I won't bite unless you ask my characters too. They totally might if you say please. ;>

- Only main rule, don't steal my characters, claim them as your own, rp with them, yadda ya. It's ok if you need to use them as a starter reference to help build your own oc and such, but make sure to source me, source the artists/creators all that. c: I'm super happy to see new creators make characters and I don't mind being an inspiration to them. But just make sure to source/cred your inspirations. <3

- ASKING IF MY CHARACTERS ARE FOR TRADE OR SALE? Please do not do this. Any characters I am considering trading or such will be tagged #LFO looking for offers! If they are tagged LFO totally feel free to comment on them, message me, discord me, w/e. c: I love trading characters and I don't mind anyone making offers to me so long as they're tagged! <3 Or if peeps are offering me wanted/grail stuff omg please message me haha. Otherwise I have my deviantart trade journal here you can check out!!

- CAN I INTERACT WITH YOUR CHARACTERS? Yes. yep, yes, I'm looking for friends for my characters and shit. I want to rp with my stuff, but I admittedly don't know how to find rp buddies any more. Just know that I am 28 years old and would very seriously only want to rp with people over the age of 18. I just really love writing smut/sex text for my characters and that is neeeever something I even remotely want to accidentally do with a minor. Sorry for the folks who would be interested in rping with me, please just understand and respect this boundary I have. ;w; ty

But yeah.. I dunno how to meet rp buddies or how to draw/interact with people any more or what's socially acceptable. I'm just going to be openly writing about my characters/sharing their AU through my public patreon page and DA/Twitter. Feel free to just talk about characters with me? comment stories or headcanons and I'll overshare creatively. I don't know, I feel like a car with a dead battery. Looking for anyone with jump cables for my creative heart. haha... I'll be very chatty in the pillowing-pile discord channel if you're looking to find me on discord! I don't know where to RP either just know I like to match my partners and I am lit? paragraph-er usually? whatever the heck terms people use any more. I'm bored and I want to write, it would be a lot more fun to write with people....

Uhm. I guess that's all I have on hand. Got more questions? Comment away and I'll do my best to assist!

reminder, if you don't like me why are you  following me? Block and move on please! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Here is the entire deviantart submission with the information about updates to the adoptable terms of service and use and links to the new 2018 TOS google docs.

If you own anything designed by me, this applies to you. If you own any closed species I've made (pillowings and lintlings) this applies to you. 

PLEASE READ IT and make sure you're up to date with the current terms!

I just wanna share this here too, you never have to feel guilty about owning a bunch of characters or adopts. You are under no obligation to make a public display out of owning them or showing the public what you do with them. They belong to you and only you. You get to enjoy them however you please no matter what.

Don't let guilt trick you into getting rid of things that make you happy. Twitter has more of the whole rant, but I just want everyone to know... Please. Please enjoy yourselves. Collect to your hearts content. Thank you for making work for people like me who have no where else to go. I love that I get to share my creativity with you all and also get to consume that same amazing creativity from other creators. Thank you for buying and loving character designs. Not buying just from me, I mean in general, thank you for enjoying this creative culture. I'm really excited to see more.

I was just surprised by the replies on twitter how people just.. always feel awful and guilty about their own collections. Please, please don't be. As a creator, I'm so grateful.

Edit: obvious reasons, this only reflects my personal views/opinions. I do not speak on behalf of any other content/adopt creators.

Seeing so many people resonate on twitter/DA  I really wanna make sure this is shared on all my media pages. I really want this message to stick. There is no shame in supporting your favorite artists. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
