My blog is entirely NSFW fandom focused, where content is of a dark, disturbing and violent nature, content that no child should see nor are mentally prepared for. Which means absolutely NO minors are to follow or interact with me. It should be a no brainer as to why these rules are set, but I will make it clear.
It is to protect me and you both.
I don’t care if you are ‘mature enough to handle it’ or ‘have seen things already’. I don’t care if you argue I do monster designs or funny shit posts. I’m in an ADULT FANDOM(S) FOR ADULTS. I am from the UK where the online safety act is in full force, and I am liable to be arrested if found that minors are seeing any nsfw content I create (yes it is true and people HAVE been arrested). You are seriously endangering me if you fail to ignore my rules. Please respect my safety and comfort and just do not do it. Wait until you are legally safe to do so - for me and you.
This bring into another point. While I try my best to check accounts. There are literally so many of you following - it is impossible to vet everyone. I am one person, not a machine that can quickly check. It is your responsibility also, to keep yourself safe and adhere to nsfw accounts boundaries set. If - to others - you do notice I am following/interacting with problematic accounts - or more importantly minors, PLEASE notify me immediately. I can then take action and remove them. Mistakes and misses do happen - I am human after all.
This whole rule also applies to adults that think it’s ok to mingle with minors in adult spaces, those who invite minors into said adult fandoms (including discord servers), and adults that draw minors (shota/loli) in sexual imagery.
You’re all disgusting vile creatures and I don’t want you near me.
🗣️ INTERACTIONS 🗣️
If you are an adult yay! Give yourself a cookie and welcome! I try to be involved with everyone and love interacting with people. Though I will say I am still very shy and nervous if I don’t know you. Please take this into consideration when talking with me.
But please do not be afraid to comment on posts etc. I do try to spot them all and reply. But as you know it do be crazy with the amount of notifs I can get. So I can miss some at times. It’s not intentional if I do. I get so much love and support - it’s amazing really. So I will say here thank you! ☺️
Now onto the rules of interacting.
💀 DMs 💀
DMS ARE FOR SERIOUS ISSUES THAT NEED MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION ONLY
Please do NOT randomly dm me with just ‘hey’ or ‘hi’, I will not answer since bots lurk here, and my social anxiety can spiral from this. It creates an uncomfortable level of uncertainty and I panic. So genuinely - while I love interacting with fans of my work, don’t do this…it’s just how my brain is wired.
If you really want to talk to me please use the ask option instead! I much prefer this, than random DMs. If people continue to abuse my DMs - i will block you - no questions.
💀 ASK BOX 💀
Asks are permanently open. If you want to send words of support, or just say hi - you are welcome to! I enjoy reading them.
I WILL NOT ANSWER ANON ASKS - these will be deleted. I get quite a few, that are lovely mind, but unfortunately I am strict with this rule. Because I don’t know if you are a minor. So it makes me uncomfortable in answering them. (Genuinely don’t understand why people go anon - I’m not a monster 😭)
I WILL NO LONGER BE TAKING REQUESTS VIA ASKS - if you want requests you’ll need to comment on posts I open for requests specifically. There I will dm you and we can then talk. (I’ll delve deeper on this on my request page).
💀 COMMON CURTESY 💀
It should go without saying, but please don’t be weird or a rude dickhead. I will block you if I see it too much. While I do usually take it with a pinch of salt and move on - seeing comments that are vague or just…downright disrespectful make me want to press that block button so fast.
These include comments like:
‘This looks like the character from this show!’ - I really don’t want to know that my art looks like something you’ve seen. Everything is inspired by everything, it’s unavoidable and part of art. To have it rubbed in my face is just irritating and I think you’re just trying to be a jerk. Just don’t do it.
- ‘You could improve it better by’ - NO just don’t ok? Do not give criticism if I don’t ask for it. It’s damned rude and icky behaviour. While sometimes people don’t mean it to be mean - and genuinely wanna help, it is very vexing/obnoxious to have to read when I never wanted it. I’m well aware my art always will have room for improvement, just don’t rub it in please and thank you!
Other examples are vague comments like ‘ok???’ , ‘Lol k’ or ‘k’- I take these as not very nice statements. I have seen these types before and I always scratch my head weather they are being dicks , or just…not? Text can be very hard to distinguish emotions. So comments like these just confuse the fuck out of me.
The NUMBER ONE way to get insta blocked is if you insult me or my art. No exceptions. I’ve had people insult past monster designs with comments like ‘ew’ or ‘disgusting’ - very rude - I yeeted them so fast. So this is my only warning you will ever get for this.
💀 PARASOCIAL/MUTUAL BOUNDARIES 💀
Just don’t. Seriously
I am friendly, I am welcoming, I will joke around with you and share ideas…damn I love it I do. I really enjoy the communities I’m in. But if you start to become emotionally clingy, obsessive, demanding, manipulative or weird around me….its a major no no. Please do not mistake my friendly openness for us being best friends. My trust takes time, it is earned when I feel I’m ready to trust you.
If you act like we are besties when I don’t even know you - it will make me extremely uncomfortable and side eye you. I have major trust issues for good reason. I’m too wary and I’ve got the shirts signed and hung in my closet of ‘WTF’ moments of my internet days.
The biggest killer for me is jealousy. I’ve dealt with people becoming possessive, life threatening, manipulative, ,abusive verbally, or threatening self harm/suicide, because I didn’t give them free art ,attention, or emotional access. That behaviour is not okay.
So I will see it
I know the patterns
I will call you out
I’ll never trust you again
Don’t do it please
💀 DRAMA 💀
It happens…and everyone likes a little gossip hear and there. But I will lay down some rules.
Please don’t come to me with drama that is out of my control or - through my ignorance - I’m not aware of. If you see me following or interacting with anyone who is a problem to you, that is something that’s not my business.
Now of course if this person(s) is an issue where: grooming, child endangerment/abuse, severe danger to others, toxic, art thief or anything else serious not mentioned….then do come to me. I’d much rather know about these kinds of people so I can alert others and block them to keep our communities safe for all.
Grudges you have personally are yours…and yes we like a chinwag to blow steam, but I would honestly rather not be crushed by unnecessary drama, specifically if I don’t know you. I just want to try and exist, so keep it among your closed circle of friends - not me 😭
💀 Emotional trauma dumping 💀
I truly empathise with anyone going through a tough time, but I am not a therapist. I welcome supporting others when they need it, but if I don’t know you…please don’t randomly go to me as an introduction ‘oh hey! I feel x this and want to x that’ expecting a sound response.
This will make me severely uncomfortable. I’m not trained to deal with any issues you may have. Please seek advice from loved ones or close friends YOU TRUST, I employ you to. Don’t feel like you can’t talk to others. You can. Just know boundaries of strangers. You don’t know if they are dealing with trauma of their own or if they will get triggered.
That’s not to say I can’t or won’t talk with others about difficult sensitive topics. Ive just got to have trust and time.
That’s pretty much it! If there are more I will update.
Requests are fun, I love receiving them! But while I do like them, there are still rules one should follow, along with a new system I’m putting in place - should you want to request art from me.
💀 ASKING FOR REQUESTS 💀
If they are open and you would like to request something, please do not:
Ask via the Ask Box
On my art posts
In my DMs
I will not answer any from these , Instead:
Ask via my request posts that I will periodically open for a time limit. (Weekends will be the time bracket). There will be a set amount of slots open depending on my personal workload and ongoing commissions.
I will use the corresponding tag for the request events: #MelRequests, so keep up to date with this.
💀 THE REQUEST POSTS 💀
💀 When will they open:
The frequency I open them will depend entirely on when I can. You will know when - when I post.
💀 What will the posts include:
When I do open the request posts, I will specify how many I will take on, what I will be doing and if it’s OC or fandom related. It will be a first come first serve basis.
💀 How the system works:
Once you have commented with a 🎪 or a 💙❤️ on the post, I will privately invite you to my request/commission discord. You must have discord in order to enter the request events. I also will require proof of ID - this is a must.*
On your passport OR drivers license I will require only the following:
Your date of birth on your passport/license
And a recent photo of your ID , with paper signed and dated with ‘request/name’ on it.
If you refuse I will pass on the request to the next person simple as. I’m not here to argue why I want to keep myself safe from minors, nor will I tolerate the ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’. Respect my rules and decision - that’s it.
In the event you do not have discord I will have to give the slot to the next person. So please please do not enter them if you have no intention of using discord. If it is also found you have used someone else’s ID I will block you and notify the community(s) of your wrongdoing.
💀 Icon meanings:
It’s self explanatory - but for people who forget, I only require these icons in the comments DEPENDING ON THE FANDOM REQUEST. It’s so I know who wants what fandom, and where to put you in my discord server :)
🎪 - The Freak Circus
💙❤️ - Broken Colors
⚠️ Any other comments will be deleted/ignored - I will only accept these icons as entry. ⚠️
Once you are invited you can give me details of your request eg. Refs of your OCs etc etc. Once I have done your request you will be removed from the server.
💀 DISCORD SERVER RULES 💀
I will preemptively write the rules here (they will also be on my server rules too - but more expanded).
Under absolutely NO circumstances are you to share the discord link/invite with anyone other than yourself. Or share the conversations had outside the server. If I do find out you have, I will remove you, cancel the request and block permanently, along with notifying others of your actions.
💀 The server is for discussing your request ONLY. Please do not:
-use it to make conversation that’s not involving the request
-spam text
-start any outside drama
-use it to vent/or seek emotional support from me
It is my server meant for strictly this- work. It may seem harsh,but I do not want it cluttered with unneeded text when I will rely on it to work from. If you are unsure however ,you can always ask me and I will tell you if it’s ok or not. But generally - the rule of thumb is, if it’s not request/commission related - then the answer will be a no.
💀 HOW LONG REQUESTS WILL TAKE 💀
Requests will take however long I see fit. They are free after all. I do try and work on them as a priority mindset however. But understand that my health and real life issues can slow things down. So do not expect me to complete them when you want them.
🚫 Do NOT ask me for updates or when you will receive your request. It’s not a commission. Repeatedly asking will cause me to stop working on it and re open the request to another person. I will update you if I wish to, so please do not harass me for ‘proof’ of art or updates 🚫
* All photo ID(s) will be deleted immediately/permanently after I have seen proof you are above 18yrs. It is a legal requirement I do so and will be kept in line and respect of the law.
