Hello! I am a bit new to adoption roleplays here on tumblr, so I thought it would be best to just ask before doing anything. So could I just pop in one time and start a roleplay? I am sorry if that's kind of a dumb question haha.
Of course! You’re free to start a roleplay any time you’d like. Also it’s not a dumb question, no worries <3
An appatently human child walks into the center. Zhe has a pair of bitties with them, an Uncorrupted Nightstriker from @wonderfulbittycenter named Pascal and a Bonbon from @wonderland-isles named Strawberry. They are here to support their nervous "human" friend. Zhe walks up to the front counter and hands over a sticky note. It says, "Hi. I can't talk right now, but I'd like to adopt a Shi, a Leo, and an Ashes. Are there any that would be willing to join a large family? If so, could you introduce us? My name is Yastaghr."
* Behind the counter are two individuals, one with dark blue hair currently doodling in a notebook and another with black hair idly propping his legs up on the counter. When you approach, the black-haired one nearly falls out of the chair as he snaps to attention. “Oh, hello!” he greets with a lopsided grin. “Welcome to the adoption center. I’m Crescent.” He pauses, glancing over the note. “Shi, Leo, and Ashes, huh? And a large family, you say? I think that can be arranged. If you’ll just follow my partner here, they’ll introduce you.”
* The blue-haired person, who can only be assumed to be Starry, glances over and waves at you and the bitties you have with you, a cheerful smile on their face. “Right this way. I’m sure the bitties will be happy to see a new face since we’ve been closed for so long.” Standing up, they escort you into the side room where all of the bitties in the center are kept. Most are playing, though others are keeping to themselves and doing their own things.
Yastaghr followed Starry, Pascal and Strawberry on either shoulder. Zhe looked around the room, taking in all the bitties and their various activities. It was a little overwhelming, so zhe did what zhe usually did when zhe was overwhelmed: zhe found an empty corner to sir in and waited for the bitties to come to zhem.
Strawberry, who had been with zhem longer, slithered down into zher lap and waved at everyone. Like all Bonbons, Strawberry had social anxiety, so it was a nervous wave. He called out, his voice squeaking with nerves, “Um… hi! Yastaghr here is looking for a Leo, a Shi, and an Ashes to join our big family! We can answer any questions you might have about our family. Is anyone… interested?”
* For a moment, everyone pauses in their activities to glance over, curious. Some stare at the bitties, having not seen many outside of their adoption center, and others stare at you. When the bitties words registers, many of the bitties appear to grow excited – and some of them a bit nervous themselves, having social anxiety as well – especially those of the kind that had been listed off.
* After a bit of discussion among each other, three bitties approach: one with a relaxed but sort of unsure stride, one with a bit of a bounce in his step, and one cautiously while wringing gloved hands together. Ashes, Leo, and Shi respectively. Taking initiative among his fellow bitties, Ashes is the first to speak. “Hey…” he greets sort of awkwardly, with a nervous grin. “So, um… My friends and I would love to be adopted, if that’s okay. I’ve always wanted a big family. It always seemed more interesting.”
* Leo nods in agreement. “Mhm! I’ve always wanted lots of siblings and friends myself.” A bit of mischief glints in his eye socket as he tops it off with a wink. “And, well… having an incredibly cute owner doesn’t hurt either.”
* “Leo,” Ashes mumbles, blushing a little from embarrassment at the other bitty’s actions. “At least wait until we’re adopted to do… that.” He shakes his head. “Anyway, um… Shi here isn’t too sure about having a large family, but he’s willing to give it a chance. I, um… sort of convinced him… since we’re really close and I don’t want to leave him.”
* With a small shy smile, Shi waves to you and your companions. “H… Hi,” he murmurs just loud enough to be heard. “Ashes told me I might like having so many others around, so… I’d love to be adopted.” After a brief moment of hesitation, he asks, “How many others… are there? Do you have any animals too…?”
Yastaghr smiled nervously at all of them. Zhe waved at them, zher hand covered with a few spatters of paint. Zher shirt had it, too. Zhe tried to speak but couldn’t, despite zher best efforts, so zhe turned to zher bitties.
Pascal, the Nightstriker, took over from his friend. “There’s a lot of us, but most of us don’t see each other very often. There’s maybe a hundred. Yastaghr’s house is special. It’s kind of… magic? There’s always enough space for everyone, and nobody meets who isn’t in the right mental space to. There’s all kinds of safe spaces, too. And Yastaghr has a lot of animals. Three dogs, two cats, a dragon, and some fish!”
Strawberry added, “Most of us have some level of social anxiety, too. Either that or they decided to join us because so many of us have social anxiety.”
* The bitties before you don’t seem to mind that you’re unable to talk for the moment, being fairly understanding. The words spoken seem to calm Shi’s nerves a bit, and his tense posture slackens a little. “That… sounds very nice!” he admits happily, a little sparkle appearing in his sockets, especially at the mention of animals. Looks like Ashes didn’t have to do much more convincing; it’s obvious he will be perfectly content in his new home.
* Speaking of, even Ashes looks a bit calmer too. Though he’s better at dealing with it, his social anxiety wasn’t giving him a good time either. Knowing that the house is magic though, and that he won’t have to interact much with anyone until he feels ready… It puts him at ease. Especially hearing he isn’t alone with his problem.
* “Wow, this sounds nice!” Leo chimes in, grinning wider. “What are we waiting for then? Let’s go! I want to meet other bitties.”
Yastaghr smiled and barely managed to squeak out, “Yes, let’s!” Then zhe led the way to the front counter to check out so zhe could bring the bitties home.
* Smiling and clearly pleased about how everything turned out, Starry gently gathers your three new companions into their hands and leads you back towards the counter, the other bitties waving you and their friends goodbye as they go back to their activities. “I’m glad things went nicely! I hope you and your new friends get along really well,” Starry chimes in. “Let Crescent just get you a bag of supplies and things, then you’re free to go.”
* Behind the counter, Crescent perks up and takes the hint, not-so-sneakily pretending he wasn’t on his phone this entire time. He begins to gather tiny treats and extra clothes into a little baggie, tying it shut with a cute bow. With a grin, he passes it over to you. “Be sure to come back anytime. Adopting or not, the bitties love when people visit. They’re probably getting sick of seeing mostly us everyday,” he says with a laugh. Glancing over at the bitties, which Starry has carefully set into a little plastic tank for you, he waves at them. “Bye to you guys too. Enjoy your new home, okay?”
(We can stop here if you’d like, unless you want to reply one more time :>)
Another new bitty of mine, who has - like Sugar - been ready to post for... like... three or four years. Whoops.
Information below the cut, like usual. Also the art is by Starry!

☆ This bitty is pretty quiet and relatively tame, being decent for first time adopters. Prefers alone time and to stay out of conflict, and doesn’t talk much unless they have questions to ask. Curious, but also very observant via sound.
☆ They don’t have any defined gender, so any pronouns are acceptable for them. It varies though, and some of their type might have a preference for one pronoun over another.
☆ They are completely blind, having been created without the magic that most skeletons use to see. They do not have eyelights, something they are very insecure about, and so they prefer to wear bandages or other fabrics over their sockets.
☆ Because of this, they require a bit of extra attention to make sure they do not hurt themselves by mistake. They have a very low pain tolerance and healing injuries takes more time with them than it would other bitties.
☆ Although their seeing is impaired, they do have other advantages to make up for this. They are able to hear better than most other bitties, and they have a unique magic that allows them to, in a sense, feel colors. Though they don’t know what any of them look like, they can touch a color and tell you what it is, if it’s one they already know. If it’s one they don’t know, they’ll ask about it to remember for later.
☆ They have a very good memory. If they trust you, you can ask them to remember things for you. If they don’t trust you, however, they will intentionally lie to you about whatever it is you asked them to remember and will become very secretive.
☆ They don’t trust too easily, and are typically very cautious or wary around new caretakers and other bitties until they get used to being around them. They may even need a bit of alone time when they are first adopted. Doing activities they enjoy may make them feel more at home and gain trust faster, though.
☆ They tend to enjoy any calming or relaxing activities, like being read to or simply listening to peaceful music. They are also content just doing nothing and getting lost in their thoughts, or listening to the sounds going on around them - especially voices.
☆ They especially like painting, but it’s difficult even though they are able to identify colors. Their artwork usually ends up being very messy, with a lot of colors all mixed into each other. They’re doing their best, at least.
☆ They don’t mind if you want to vent to them about anything. They’re a very good listener and will do their best to comfort their caretaker or other bitties if something is bothering them.
☆ Since their hearing is sensitive, they cannot handle loud noise very well. It will startle and annoy them, and they will likely hide somewhere for a while until they decide they want to come out again.
☆ So long as they trust you, they don’t mind physical contact or affection, as long as it isn’t too excessive. They dislike being smothered and can quickly become overwhelmed by too much touching.
☆ Though they are most compatible with and protective over calm and quiet bitties, they can still be adopted alongside excitable or talkative bitties too. They just need their space from time to time or they will be overwhelmed.
☆ On the other hand, it is not recommended to adopt them alongside bitties that are violent or have bad attitudes. If they are pushed too much, they will lose their temper and become impatient and aggressive towards the other bitty. Even though their magic is weak and they have disadvantages, they won’t hesitate to fight if they need to.

Starry said that a good theme for Sugar would be World is Mine. Now I have the unbearable need to see Sugar in a Miku cosplay. Ahem, Starry dear, if you see this... Well, you’re the one with the art skills... 👀
Hey guys, check it out. I’m finally posting a bitty of mine for the first time (with a little tweaking to his design by Starry). It’s about time, honestly... I came up with the idea of this boy here like three years ago... Social anxiety is a bitch.
Anyway! Information under the cut. <3
Also he’s supposed to have a tiny crown but Starry is mean to me and said it looked tacky >:(

Sugar
- Not recommended for first time adopters! ⚠️
- Don’t let his cute appearance fool you. This bitty is very bratty, very sassy, and has a rather bad attitude. He can be egotistical and think he deserves more attention than anyone else.
- Obviously, he demands a lot of attention. He loves physical affection especially, such as head rubs, and will get very annoyed if he goes too long without getting any. If he gets desperate enough for attention, which doesn’t take much, he will resort to being destructive and showing off until his caretaker notices.
- Cusses a lot, only because he can and believes he can get away with it because he’s cute and hard to resist. Honestly though, the more you tell him to stop, the more he will probably do it, so it’s best to not say anything about it.
- Sometimes if he doesn’t get his way, he might end up throwing a temper tantrum. These usually range from loud sobbing and screaming to getting violent and destructive. In worst case scenarios, he might even bite if anyone gets too close to him. Alternatively, depending on what it is he is wanting, he might instead choose to pout and give his caretaker the silent treatment until they cave.
- Fun fact, he is actually extremely ticklish. Sometimes this can be taken advantage of during smaller tantrums to divert his attention or to at least get him to cooperate. If successful, he’ll instead choose to pout until something else catches his attention.
- Even though he can be a brat and difficult to handle, there are plenty of plus sides to adopting him. He is loyal and always prepared to defend his caretaker from anything, as he considers them his and won’t let anyone hurt what is his. He is also compassionate and affectionate in his own ways. These ways are usually... violent... but it’s the thought that counts.
- Very attached to the teddy bear he has with him and carries it everywhere he goes, although the poor thing tends to lose its head whenever he throws a tantrum, requiring it to be sewn back on. If it is ever taken from him, he will be utterly inconsolable and extra destructive until it is returned to him. If this happens, he will be extra clingy with it and won’t trust anyone to be around it.
- Bites whenever he feels even a little threatened, no matter how strong the offending person may be. Fair warning: his bites hurt, almost like being bitten by a snake.
- Absolutely loves anything shiny or cute whether it’s jewelry, sequins, stickers, rhinestones, etc. If you aren’t careful, he will snatch any items like this he finds and hide them away somewhere his caretaker cannot reach. You probably won’t get any of it back, even if you ask nicely.
- It’s best to adopt him on his own with no other bitties in the household, because there’s a good chance he won’t get along well with them. If you want to adopt another bitty with him, it’s best to let him bond with one and choose for himself.
- He is not at all compatible with skittish or jumpy bitties because of his loud nature, and he will most certainly end up frightening them. Physically violent bitties are not a good choice either, as fights will most certainly happen. If they’re only verbally mean though, it should be fine.
(18+)
- Despite how he may come across sometimes, and despite being of age, he is very innocent when it comes to anything sexual. Innuendos and seduction usually go right over his head.
oh! what are the two bitties on both of your shoulders? :o i don't regonize them.
Hello! The one on Starry’s shoulder is Pancake. The one on my shoulder is actually a bitty I came up with a few years ago! I never had the chance to post them because I was too anxious, but I actually plan on posting them and another one later today. Right now I’m just waiting for Starry to draw better references for them :)

Updating our pinned post. Starry requested I make the private posts I made for it public, cause keeping them private made something weird happen on mobile, so there’s going to be a few informational posts coming up. Links to them will be in the new pinned.
Just a few things you should know about this blog before following or sending in asks!
☆ We mostly do match-ups and adoption RPs, and sometimes - though not frequently - Starry will draw bitties whenever they’re being adopted. Feel free to send in questions about any of them, or even questions to the bitties themselves (or the shelter owners instead of the admins, if you’d like).
☆ Sometimes adoption RPs may not be finished or asks may not be answered, mostly due to real life problems and unexpected hiatuses. We deeply apologize for this and will do our best to make sure this happens as little as possible, but we’re all human at the end of the day and things do tend to happen.
☆ Unless you request us otherwise, we usually assume our followers/askers will be the ones to start adoption RPs first. Also you can request which mod you would prefer to RP with, if you’d like! Otherwise, whoever is active at the moment will manage the replies.
☆ You do not have to ask if you want to adopt our bitties (though we certainly don’t mind if you do)! You also do not have to ask us to make fanart or fanfiction with them, though we would love it if you at least tag us or let us know if you do. We would love to see!
☆ The tags are frequently a bit messy, but we do our best to keep them in order. If something is confusing, feel free to tell us.

This sideblog is run by two moderators/admins! Both of us are healing from social anxiety and depression, so we may not be active all the time and tend to take unexpected and unannounced hiatuses occasionally. Rest assured, we will always come back though!
Feel free to ask us any personal questions you would like, even if they aren’t necessarily bitty related.
—
Mod Starry (they/them | nineteen):
☆ The main admin, who manages all of the art and most of the asks. They are usually the most active and create a majority of the bitties that are posted here. Posts of theirs are usually marked with a star emoji and the tags “Mod Starry” and “Starry Speaks”, though any of the posts that are not tagged are usually theirs as well. They also do adoption RPs. Their main: @starrypou.
Mod Crescent (he/they | nineteen):
☆ Secondary admin, usually only in charge of managing tags and occasionally helping Starry out with asks and adoption RPs (usually the longer and more detailed ones, since he is more of a writer than an artist). He may sometimes post some of his own bitties or art, but otherwise he isn’t active here very frequently. His tags are “Mod Crescent” and “Crescent Speaks” – typically, he tags every post he makes unless he is helping Starry with one of theirs. Also message him if you encounter any technical problems here, like broken or incorrect links. His main: @blank-envy.

You’re also free to send in asks to our personas rather than us, so long as you make it clear the question is directed to the shelter owners rather than the admins.
