Sharkie's TH Advice Lake

A ToyHouse Advice account. I made it 'cause I thought it'd be fun, also it's another spot for ya'll to vent or spread positivity. At this point we need it TvT

[th-advice-lake]

Welcome to Sharkie's ToyHouse Advice Lake

Yep, we revamped to advice on ToyHouse!

I made it for fun! I don't venture into the community of ToyHouse, so don't worry about possible toxicity being said from me. When it comes to TH I stay in my own little corner ^^

No restrictions, just keep it ToyHouse related; Keep asks anon unless you wanna be bold and daring; Owner of this blog will also be left anon for the funny; Just refer to me as "Sharkie" :D

Vent to your heart's content, spread positivity to your mind's content. Wanna send ToyHouse links in your asks? Go right ahead. I'll also do polls for you as long as the context is ToyHouse.

Please do not send asks relating to drama, as this blog is not for that. Also don't ask personal questions about me..???

And before it's asked: Banner is a fan-rendition of the Fictosexual/romantic flag. Not a big fan of the OG ones honestly-

Got it? Okay! Feel free to spam me in relations to my blog :D

I lost interest in a characther that was put on hold for me because a dreamie of mine is UFS for the same price, what do I do? I don't want to get blacklisted by the other person, but I also really want the other characther..

*Shrug* do it.

ToyHouse users are petty enough as is with their crazy TOUs/TOS' and blacklisting anyone for the most dumbest of reasons while also making them public.

Do YOU want to be happy? Then do it. Because you really shouldn't abide by the feelings of another user you don't even interact with, that's going to make you feel like shit in the long run Anon.

Screw the user going to potentially blacklist you over, possibly, a dumb reason. Go get your dreamie and have fun with them :D

might be a dumbass question but am i allowed to upload images with sex/nsfw *jokes* as a minor? 😭

It's not a dumb question at all, especially with how ToyHouse has VERY inconsistent rules that also lead to hypocrisy sometimes, but honestly?

I have no idea. Anything NSFW needs to be spoilered correctly and a minor account cannot flag NSFW stuff as NSFW, no matter the context.

So I just wouldn't risk it, especially with how ToyHouse rules are and how SOME users can be-

🦈

[th-advice-lake]

My latest memory of the issues goes back to 2 years ago where someone couldn't use the NSFW system for spoilering at all due to having a minor account despite being an adult.

According to the user they had accidently marked their account age wrong and never realised until they tried to post art with NSFW jokes themselves and wanted to put it as "mild sexual content" since it made the most sense to them, so they were talking about it in a server I was in.

They honestly found the whole situation funny on their own blunder lol

incredibly bizarre and confusing seeing ppl call themselves "chuds" all the sudden b/c like

thats what we call neo nazis and shitty conservative bros? or at least its what we used to call them? why are ppl calling themselves "chuds" affectionately now

what is happening

yall know chud means fascist right like please tell me yall know that

[acreaturecalledgreed]

im hoping this is a case of "younger folks on the internet adopting Silly Word b/c its Silly and not realizing it actually means something"

so here's me educating! you're calling yourselves fascists! thats what you're doing! maybe don't do that and use your head before you start using every goofy word you see!

[acreaturecalledgreed]

let me be agonizingly clear

when you call yourself and your friends "chuds"

YOU

ARE

CALLING

YOURSELF

A

NAZI

[th-advice-lake]

Hi Sharkie! I figured I'd come over here too, since the guys I'm inquiring about are actually my F/Os ^^"

So... what do I do about an OCified canon character that has essentially become a different person (name, backstory, personality, etc.) but still looks, recognizably, like the canon?

One of them has a stylized design, but still recognizably looks like that character. The other one has the same face (recognizable makeup + mask) but is original from the neck down. Both are OCified to hell and back and might as well not even be the same guys. I don't really want to change their designs as I've gotten very attached. I don't consider them CBCs since only their appearance is intact, and even then, they have headcanons applied to said appearance.

With their differences in mind, would they be acceptable to upload to TH? Or should I throw them up on auth-only just to be safe?

Well, since you said the only thing between them is their looks. You could just argue it's a coincidence lol

But this IS ToyHouse, and even my AU variants {to the point they look like OCs} of certain canon characters have been perma-privated thanks to the staff. Forcing me to make a new folder and auth-only them for good.

So since this is ToyHouse, it'd prolly be best to auth-only them even if everything but looks is VASTLY different :(

[th-advice-lake]

I have an advice for designing adopts, if you need outfit inspiration outside of Pinterest look into fashion magazines, there's a lot on the Internet archive. I've been looking at alternative magnazines and they're way more diverse than what you find on Pinterest

Besides that the problem is see with making adopts based on an era (like the 2000's) using Pinterest images, it's that most people you find on Pinterest are recreating the aesthetic of that time period, there's nothing wrong with that of course but your adopt will end up looking like a Shein warrior

Also the AI Generation overload on Pinterest TmT

[th-advice-lake]

Found this out recently, you can tag characters.

Just do @@123456, with 123456 being replaced by the character's ID number, and the character will get tagged just like how an account gets tagged.

Huh :O

[dandelionjack]

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.

this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.

i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless

[oak-the-professor]

Fuck, I didn't realise it was up till 25 (not that I didn't find it devastating anyway). This is so shit. I fucking hate how much the government here, especially the recent Labour government pretends to support LGBT rights and then just... lets this happen.

Well, shit, now I'm crying.

Anyway, gonna get this spread around more. @mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026 @satan-offical @forgetthefall @explosions-are-funny @gracehasaspacesuitquestion @no-one-offical @unyieldingsilence @ghostofafruitmain

when i file a report ticket because someone put something in the wrong category (eg character in the html category) what do i actually,..... type? 😭

Just say that.

Hi I'd like to report this folder due to it being in the wrong catergory.

Something like that. Simple and to the point. You don't need to it to be long and detailed sometimes.

[wootwona]

since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...

reblog this post if your account is a trans safe space or owned by a trans person!

along with that, reblog if your account is a trans non-binary spectrum safe space or owned by someone on the trans enby spectrum!

[severeobjectfun]

Dear teen girls,

Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.

Stop:

Yelling at him in front of his friends 

Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like

Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you 

Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him

Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend

Forcing him to spend every moment with you 

Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws

Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake

Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want

Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want

Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you

Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes 

Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love

Physically attacking him when ever you are mad

Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to

Invading his privacy by going through his phone

Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is

If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy. 

Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.

Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive. 

[dynastylnoire]

!!!!!!!! My brother was abused by his babies mom and it started like this and escalated to child abuse and neglect.

You don’t deserve to be screamed at, ignored, or assaulted.

Not showing affection when she wants or not hugging her before class) or missing a phone call doesn’t warrant getting cussed out or hit.

[fvlani]

Lol, I lost 5 followers from reblogging this. That’s fine, y'all can go

[onlyblackgirl]

Whole lot of grown women do this too.

[engel-tier-deactivated20180213]

Just wanna throw these in too

Being passive aggressive with him when he wants to spend time with friends or doing other things 

controlling when he’s able to go out with friends

Breaking up his friendships with other girls just because you’re insecure

Making him feel like his opinions in decisions that affect the both of you are irrelevant and don’t matter

SENDING HIS NUMBER TO STRANGERS TO TEST IF HE’S LOYAL OR NOT

testing him in anyway in general without his knowledge or permission (example: catfishing! it’s manipulative and weird don’t fucking do that)

taking money/credit cards without permission to spend on things without his knowledge ( had an ex friend do this constantly to her boyfriend and she’d always condone it because “he’ll get over it” )

guilting him for hanging out with friends/family over you  and making him choose between you and friends/family

telling him “you don’t love me if you *insert harmless activity he wants to do here* “

being rude or mean to him in front of others to assert dominance or power over him

downloading apps to spy on his phone activity (yes, this is a thing “”regular”” people do) or snooping on his social media to see who he’s talking to

hitting him, slapping him, punching him, shoving him. literally how do people not understand slapping your male partner is bad. people tend to find this funny in media and society and its weird. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR PARTNER WITHOUT PERMISSION. 

I come from a family of very forward and manipulative women and i see it in media all the time. it’s fucked and people need to not be accepting of young girls acting like snot-nosed, abusive shit heads that think they can get away with manipulation and cruelty because they happen to be girls.

[alwaysbewoke]

and let me add this. ABUSIVE TEEN GIRLFRIENDS TURN INTO ABUSIVE GROWN ASS WOMEN GIRLFRIENDS WHO TURN INTO ABUSIVE WIVES.

if you have an abusive teen or young adult gf right now fellas, leave. don’t let her use you to get her shit right. you’ll be so fucked up by the time she gets it together if she ever does and believe that most likely she won’t.  

[spoonmeb]

Can i just add that ive seen young queer girls do this to their girlfriends. Girls can be abusers and you are right to leave. 

[purpleandpinkhouses]

Women/young girls can definitely be just as abusive. I knew a young man that got ran over and had his leg broken by his girlfriend because (in her words he annoyed her) He refused to press charges. Another young lady started to hit her ex boyfriend because he wouldn’t take her back because of the abuse. He called the cops on her and they literally started laughing at him because she was very petite in comparison to him. Anyone can be abusive and I wish more people understood that.

[madhattey-deactivated20211019]

dammit I’d spam my blog if i reblog this more than once but dude this is really important.

[ayeshapoptropica]

Oh my god. This is so important.

[papi-chulo-bucky]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[stormstone42]

If you actually think that women can’t abuse men, you’re a threat to society and to yourself, and you need to be dealt with.

THE LONG-AWAITED WEBSITE!!!!

It's not perfect- Strawpage's design tools are... not great- but I did my best to bring you all a Tumblr-free transcription of all my lessons. This is probably the most labor-intensive thing I've done for this page (next to the character polls). Four months of blood, sweat, and tears... and now, she LIVES!!!!

Some Notes:

I created it with the intent of Desktop use, so Mobile might have some issues. If it's not working on your phone, try desktop.

Out of the multiple browsers tested (Firefox, Google, Edge, Brave, Safari), Firefox had some issues sporadically.

I'm still going to post lessons on here, first. This page is priority to me, and the website is more of an archive.

The fonts are normal past this opening page.

I will be adding a portion to send funds soon, if'n you are feeling kind and generous.

Thank you all for your patience while I worked on this. It was a labor of love and I hope that it shows. 🙏🏾 Happy scrolling!
