Offer Policy!

Posted 1 year, 7 months ago by Sweetspea

Good morning, afternoon, evening, and everything in between everyone!!  I hope everyone's having an absolutely wonderful and safe time out there right now!

I just wanted to preface this bulletin by saying this isn't directed at anybody in particular, if you read this and think to yourself "oh gosh I did that recently!" oh my goodness this is not directed towards you in particular, and I'm not mad or upset at anybody at all!  I adore each and every one of you and want only the best for everybody that ever crosses my path

But lately I've been getting quite a lot of offers on designs of mine that aren't up for offers, or are designs that are very much loved and forever homed!  I know how much designs mean to people and how much joy they can bring, so I never, ever want to hard stop anybody from at least tossing their hat into the ring to try and get a design they've been in love with for a while and that they really do want to use and care for!  But because of the sheer volume I've been getting and the content of those offers, I am going to be implementing some rules so it's easier for everybody involved!

🌱Please avoid offering on designs tagged forever homed!  These will never, ever be leaving me and they all have very big parts in my silly stories you all will sometimes see me upload art and silly rambles for!  These cannot be bribed off of me and I ask people please not to try, it'll just leave you disappointed!

🌱Please try not to offer your entire TH on designs just to "try your luck"!  I always love to help people get the designs they truly want and love, but I've been getting a lot of offers on characters from people who just want to see if they can have them.  I don't mind offers if it's a design you well and truly want and love, but I ask you please pay attention to what I may be looking for instead of just offering your entire TH or only your trade/sale folder and getting upset when I decline!  If a design isn't explicitly up for offers it may be a "bribe me" situation, so be prepared for that expectation too if I'm not actively looking to get rid of something!

🌱If you do want to try offering on a design of mine, please take a look at my favorites and preferences to get an idea of what I may be looking for right now!  I don't mind when people just really truly want a design and will offer anything they can, but if it's not on or similar to my favorites and preferences I will most likely say no!  You're also more than welcome to ask me if there's anything currently out there I'd take as an AB for the design you want, more often than not I may have something in mind currently up for offers!

🌱Just be polite!  I understand that I have a lot of designs that people are a tad rabid to get, but I ask you to please respect me and if you really want to offer, that you offer fairly with the reality in mind that it is most likely a design with a story that I don't want to actively part with.  It may take a massive bribe to get me to consider, a lot of designs will only leave me for an offer I just can't say no to!

🌱Please keep in mind that my favorites are not a shopping list!  Do not under any circumstances bother or harass any owners of designs I have favorited, and do not go out and buy/trade for a design in my favorites before asking me if I'd take them for a specific design you want.  This has happened multiple times and it only leaves both of us disappointed and upset!

With all of this in mind, if I do have a design you're just dying for, I never ever mind a gentle message or two asking about them as long as you offer fairly, you ask nicely, and you pay attention to what I may be looking for!  If it's a design I don't have a solid idea for and haven't used in a bit, I'm even happy to put them on hold for you and try to figure something out!


That's all, thank you all so darn much everyone!  I never ever bite and I try to be as kind and understanding as possible, I just ask you to please try to give the same courtesy back to me and everyone you approach about anything!  We all deserve a little kindness, especially now!

I potentially wouldn’t mind depending on the design!  There’s some I still need to retag because their stories have changed, so feel free to ask!

I don’t think Lhume will ever be leaving me, and if I ever did put them up it would take a major bribe to get them off of me but aaaa if that ever changes and I’m publicly taking offers I’ll let you know!
