☆ Blog/Request norms!
I didn’t think I was going to get so many requests on this account, so I’m going to set up a few rules/norms surrounding it. ^_^ Because I really do enjoy doing requests and don’t want to inconvenience anyone.
Requests are closed! (I have backed up ones I need to be doing) (Requests close when I am busy or burnt out.)
—————————☆—————————
I’m iffy about graphics of real people. I initially thought to myself that I couldn’t imagine making any, but I took a moment to think and reconsidered.
Basically, I’d only feel comfortable doing graphics of real people if they’re well known enough that I can see most of their controversies, they make wholesome/purely entertaining content, and they have reasonable political views. If they check all of or most of these boxes I’m more likely to fulfill the request.
Requests surrounding people who are popular and known for being lighthearted and unproblematic are more likely to get approved. It’s just a very wide range that would definitely vary and there’s tons of grey areas based on real people tied to a persona, etc etc. Like, it’s the different between how comfortable I’d be doing graphics of say, LDShadowlady (the first person I thought of, haha… :,3 ) and y’know, Dream. I’d probably only approve the request for LDShadowlady because I know her content, brand, and public persona better.
( It’s important to note that requests surrounding Dream SMP CHARACTERS (or similar situations), as in the actual characters with namesakes of content creators, will almost always be approved provided I can properly convey they are not the cc. )
Musicians are another grey area (though definitely less so than content creators), making album cover/song related/band related graphics is no trouble. Issues may occur if I’m asked to do them centered around a problematic member, but if I’m asked to do any graphics surrounding a specific person I do a small background check. If I find something I would consider deplorable/iffy or just can’t find enough info to feel secure I won’t fulfill the request.

I’ll probably make a blacklist as I go, because I can’t really think of any super controversial media off the top of my head that I wouldn’t be comfortable doing, but I’m sure if I think of any I’ll write it down. Chances are, as long as the media isn’t consistently/inherently problematic I won’t decline the request, especially if it’s character specific. For example, danganronpa has lots of old, controversial elements, but the media and characters are so beloved that it’s separated from the fandom, so media like that will almost always pass the approval. I also don’t have the time to check all the media I get requests from, especially when a lot of it is niche or lesser known, lol.
Anyway, current blacklist is (is edited periodically): Alfred’s playhouse, The coffin of Andy and Leyley, ……….
—————————☆—————————
Text specific requests do not bother me (and sometimes I even prefer so as to making a big old vague batch) so long as they are rational/fit in the canvas lol
—————————☆—————————
Please don’t submit the same request more than once unless a week has passed, even if I’m posting other requests. If I decline your request, you will either know because I will have responded with a quick explanation, or I will have deleted it and it will not get made, then you can read over this and might get an explanation.
—————————☆—————————
I usually do my requests in order but I might not always do so
—————————☆—————————
I will not make graphics with text that aligns with proship beliefs. (Ex, text with adultxminor ship names/shipping implications, text involving proship, proship emoji combos, etc etc.) The best I can give you is maybe some darkship related graphics on a case to case basis.
—————————☆—————————
I like receiving credit for my graphics but it’s not mandatory, I know that especially with profile stuff giving graphic credits can look kind of ugly, lol. All I ask is that if you’re asked where the graphics come from you credit me.
—————————☆—————————
If I make graphics with fanart in them and don’t credit an artist, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I don’t always know the media I’m including so I can’t guarantee I’ll always know if what I’m using is official or fanmade, and I am of the firm belief that I would be obligated to credit fanartists. In general, you can request specific fanartists and so long as they don’t have a no reposts rule I will use their art and credit them.
—————————☆————————
Be kind!! I do this stuff for fun, so I want my blog to be fun for everyone. Be kind to each other, be kind to me, and we won’t have issues.
—————————☆————————
other things:
PLEASE interact: Systems, yumes, fan creators, fictkins, otherkins, etc. I would love to get requests related to these communities and would love to provide a space for you.
