Frequently Asked Questions

As the title suggests, this page is here for very common questions that may or may not be on your mind!! Over time, this page will be updated with new information (and with any other common questions)

That being said, there might be a burning question that you have that isn't answered here. If that is the case, please do not be afraid to reach out to me!! You can contact me on any of my socials linked on the left side bar (most active sites) or any of the sites linked on my carrd

"Do you have commissions or requests open?"

As for right now, both commissions and requests are closed to the public. The people I do draw free art for are my friends, and I often just draw them art randomly

That being said, in regards to at least art requests, I may end up opening them randomly in the future!! Please note that, if this happens, I am free to turn down any request that I do not wish to draw. This may be because of subjects such as the content being triggering for me, not being something I'm comfortable with drawing (certain ships, kinks, and fetishes), or simply because I don't think I'd be able to draw something right (such as animals!! Working on getting better at drawing them)


"What do you use for digital art?"

I use a XP-Pen DECO LW tablet!! I also draw in an art program called PaintTool SAI 2, as this is currently the only art program I've found that feels right to draw in. I am, however, looking into how to make Clip Studio feel the same as SAI 2 when it comes to the pen since I do want to eventually upgrade to it!!

If you're thinking about buying an XP-Pen, I highly recommend it. I tend to find that the company puts their tablets on sale a lot, and at good prices!! The tablet I bought is normally around £139.99, but I managed to get it for under £70. The smaller XP-Pen DECO tablets go for much cheaper too


"What do you use for games development?"

For games development, and making stuff for VRChat, I use a range of different programs

When it comes to pixel art, I use the art program I mentioned earlier. For 3D models, I use Blender to make models and Unity to upload said models to VRChat. I use the free version of GameMaker2 for 2D games as I do not plan on selling any of the games I create


"Can I repost your art? What about using it for profile customisation?"

In regards to reposting my art, I would love for you all to ask first before doing so, even if it's via private DM. The reason for this is because I've had people in the past repost my art - and even editing it - without my permission nor credit. I understand that this may sound like I'm too possessive of my own art and characters, but some of the people who have reposted my art and acted like it's there own did so on accounts where they sold stolen artwork. Because of this, this one rule exists simply so I don't strike every person with a DMCA!! I personally don't want to get accounts banned but I also don't want people to make money off artwork that they didn't make (at least, not without permission)

That being said, if you were to ask to either repost my art or to use my art to customise your profiles (e.g. as profile image), I will most likely say 'yes'!! Though I will require that you provide credit. In regards to credit, please link to one of my accounts, this site, or my carrd. Saying 'this art does not belong to me/credit to the original artist' is not valid credit!!


"Why can't I use your creations for AI purposes? Including Character.AI?"

I am personally incredibly against generative AI for multiple reasons. I also do not like the idea it brings on the table; that artists - no matter how small we are - are simply viewed as machines rather than people. A lot of smaller artists depend on their art skills to make money so they can have a single meal. To slap our art into some AI image generator is making it so artists are unable to afford to keep themselves alive.

Because of this, as stated by my watermark and on all of my accounts online, I do not consent to any of my content (art, writing, original characters, etc) being used for gen AI purposes. If I find out that my content has been used for such purposes, DMCAs will be filed.

When it comes to uploading my characters to sites like Character.AI, I will once again be filing DMCAs. I understand people do this in order to have more content of a character, and to RP with them, but I want to make it clear that AI does not understand my characters the way I do. Along with this, I do RP!! Instead of asking AI about my characters, you could always send me questions about them instead. If you want to RP?? If we're friends, that's possible on sites like Discord. If enough people online ask for it, I may end up making an RP blog on Tumblr!!


"When is [PROJECT] coming out?"

Excellent question!!

I'm personally not sure when any of my projects will be officially coming out. I do not wish to abandon any of these, even if it's been years for some. Unfortunately, my physical health isn't great and I am currently working with unmedicated ADHD so things are very slow on my end


"What health conditions do you have? Why does it make you slow?"

I've currently been professionally diagnosed with the following: fibromyalgia, endometriosis, anxiety (social and general), depression, hallucinations (visual), ADHD, and autism

Fibromyalgia is a big condition that causes me to be slow. Factors such as stress and the weather can cause my symptoms to get bad. As for the symptoms?? I deal with widespread pain for starters. This can be an ache, burning, or a stabbing pain. I'm also extremely sensitive, thanks to hyperalgesia (when you're sensitive to pain) and allodynia (when things hurt when they shouldn't, such as a light touch on the back). My body can feel stiff in places, such as my legs feeling stiff and hard to move when I've just woke up. I'm constantly tired; ranging from mild to how people feel when they have the flu!! My sleep is awful because I wake up tired no matter how much sleep I get... basically there's a lot!!The NHS has an entire page about symptoms

Endometriosis is also another condition that causes me issues. I've been dealing with bad cases of this twice; once in 2023 and another in 2025. The one in 2023 ended up with me having to take iron supplements because I was diagnosed with borderline anaemia... due to bleeding non-stop for an entire year!! As for the 2025 situation, there's a chance endometriosis is growing on my bowels. Which isn't good, as this may mean surgery to remove part of my bowels if it's bad. The joys of endometriosis...

Depression and anxiety is something I've been diagnosed with since I was a teenager, mostly thanks to almost going blind from anxiety in my first college (I was sent to therapy because it got that bad). I'm unsure if there's anything else going on with me in regards to mental health; as I've made clear on my accounts, I have been through a lot in my life. At the end of the day, I might have undiagnosed PTSD too!! All I do know is that, as a teenager, I've taught myself to ignore my depression (unless it gets too bad) and that my anxiety can cause visual hallucinations. Unfortunately, as expected, bad mental health can make you not want to do anything you enjoy in life. Thankfully, I do have medication to help aid me!!

Autism and ADHD are things I've been diagnosed with as of 2025, though I've been suspected of having both for many years before this (before 2020 I think??). Because I was diagnosed with both, I can finally use correct terms for what I experience!! When it comes to autism, I do deal with things such as shutdowns. During a shutdown, I'm unable to be verbal even with text. I also do not have the energy to do anything during a shutdown. For ADHD, I am unmedicated!! I do plan on getting medication however the list for it is 12 months long. I was diagnosed with ADHD in April 2025; I suspect I won't get medication until April 2026. Unfortunately, this means my brain does not want to focus on one single thing (yes this annoys me too. I say I'll do something and then find myself playing a game until 5am)


"You mentioned you've been through a lot. Is that why you list a lot of warnings for the content your produce?"

Yes!! I want to create content based on the things I've experienced in my life, including content that talks about my health. But it's also why I personally request that people at least don't view what I make in a romantic light when it comes to darker subjects. I'm personally not comfortable with, for example, someone looking at how I was abused - to the point where I have trauma in regards to food - and seeing it as 'hot'. I know I can't control what people do online, so I simply ask that people just... don't bring that sort of stuff directly to me if possible


"Am I allowed to ask you questions about any of the projects you're working on? What about your own characters?"

Please do!! I love to talk about the things I'm working on!! I have so many thoughts about these things and may even draw stuff based on questions I get


"I was looking at your ToyHouse. What's a Amlicora/Einphih/Aikkod/etc?"

These are all original creations of mine!!

None of these species are closed, as I personally do not want to make things that like that. That being said, they do have rules and lore that are important to follow if you are looking to potentially create a character that is from any of these species

Because of how Discord's images broke on ToyHouse, I do understand that some of the lore and rules are hard to follow for certain ones. If you wish to learn more about them but things aren't fixed on there, please do feel free to ask!!


"Does that mean I can make adopts of [ORIGINAL SPECIES]?"

Yes!! As long as you follow the rules and lore as well as provide information/links to these species on the adopt(s) for others to follow. A lot of things are set up in specific ways after all, especially in regards to things that are involved in big projects that I'm working on


"Will you ever make adopts?"

I will indeed!! I plan on making adopts for both original species that I make, those my friends have (with permission), original characters in general (e.g. a vampire, a human), as well as fan characters (e.g. Sonic the Hedgehog, Danny Phantom)

All adopts that I create will be made in order to aid others. I personally can't make a set amount of money due to my benefits, and my friends sometimes need help, so I tend to create adopts to help them gain some extra cash


"I got a character from you but I no longer want it. What should I do?"

You have full permission to give character(s) you got from me away for free or to sell them. If you are selling them, please only sell them for the original price you bought them for unless the character has more content (e.g. if the character has 20 art pieces that they are being sold with, you are free to sell them at a higher price)

You are also allowed to return characters to me for free if that's also what you want to do?? Chances are that I will probably end up selling the character if you do this though, so it's probably better to sell them yourself if you need the cash


"Why do you have so many original characters?"

I like to make and collect characters


"Can I draw art of your original characters?"

Of course!! Just please keep in mind that I do have guidelines in regards to making art with my characters. Mostly the basic stuff like not drawing NSFW of my underage characters, no using my characters for hate art, etc

If you're unsure of something, don't be afraid to ask!!


"Can I draw ship art of our characters?"

Unless I stated that a character is free to be shipped with random characters, I'd rather not have ship art of my characters with any character who belongs to a stranger. That being said, I do often ship my characters with those who belong to my friends!! If you want to draw some characters smooching, there's options


"Can I be your friend for free art/stories/etc?"

As kindly as I can put this, no.

Please do not befriend people online just so you can get free stuff. If you want free art or stories or anything really, please find someone who has free art requests open. If you have money to do so, commission someone to make you stuff. Just don't 'befriend' someone just to use them for free content


"I wanted to follow you but you have me blocked online. Why?"

I block a lot of people online for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it's because the content on your account makes me uncomfortable, sometimes it's because it's well known online that you're not a great person (e.g. you were exposed as an abuser with evidence). If I have you blocked, it could honestly be for a lot of reasons!!

My accounts online are my own little space. I shape them how I want and if that means I do not wish for you to interact with me?? Then that's simply what I'll do. But a block doesn't always mean I think you're a bad person!! Again, sometimes I block because you only post stuff that makes me uncomfortable; that could mean you're posting something as simple as a spider (which isn't a bad thing nor does it make you a bad person. You go love spiders!!)


"Will everything you make be tagged?"

Of course!! I may end up accidentally forgetting a tag (fibro-fog is hard to work with) but I will do my best to tag everything. From content warnings for blacklisting to franchises for people to personally explore; everything will have a neat little tag


"Will everything you make be shared with the public?"

Unfortunately, no

There's some content that I make which I feel is too personal to be shared with the public, such as certain vent art that is very direct about subjects and people. I have an entire sona that's for venting only which is only close friends have access to online. There's also vent art that I've produced that have not been posted online and currently only exist in the folders of my laptop. Future therapists may possibly be the only people to view these vent pieces, as I do plan on going to more therapy sessions in the future/when my physical health isn't bad


"What fandoms are you in/franchises do you enjoy?"

I'm into a lot of different media/franchises!! Though I don't always produce content for everything that I enjoy, even if there's stuff I've personally enjoyed since childhood. I'll still list a majority of things off below though!!

Danny Phantom, Smile For Me, Mouthwashing, Neon Genesis Evangelion, The Owl House, Gaslight District, The Amazing Digital Circus, TMNT, Pluseman, Astro Boy/Tetsuwan Atom, Mega Man, Psychonauts, The Walten Files, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Demon Slayer, Lacey's Flash Games, Deadman Wonderland, FNAF, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria, Coral Island, Undertale, Deltarune, Dave the Diver, Doki Doki Literature Club, Firebreather, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl, Sailor Moon, Guyver: Bioboosted Armor, Akira, NiGHTS, Great God Grove, Uma Musume, Cult of the Lamb, Ace Attorney, Hollow Knight, Owlboy, Oxygen Not Included, Tokyo Mew Mew, TRON, Kirby, Amphiba, Tomodachi Life, Super Mario Bros, Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon, Palworld, Persona 5, Portal, Castlevania, Metroid, Splatoon, Vampire Survivors, Jet Set Radio, Am I Nima, Slay the Princess, Bugsnax, Cave Story, Jetter Mars, Slime Rancher


"Can I add you on Discord? What about Steam?"

Though I only hand it out in private these days, I am open to talking to people on Discord!! As for Steam, I'd rather this be kept to close friends only


"Can I add songs to any of the playlists you've made?"

I only allow friends to edit my playlists


"I see you playing games with friends. Can I also join?"

Unless you know my friend, or we say it's okay for people to randomly join, you unfortunately can't join


"Do you have any game recommendations?"

I have 430 games on Steam alone, so I do have some recommendations!!

If you're looking for something more cozy to play, I do recommend games like Stardew Valley, Coral Island, and Slime Rancher. These types of games can involve a bit of fighting (though games like Slime Rancher allow you to turn off Tar Slimes for a more relax time), these games can be rather relaxing to get lost in. Please note that games like Stardew Valley may contain themes others find uncomfortable, as it does discuss subjects such as alcoholism. That said, these are games I've played starting from 2018

If horror is something you're looking for, I recommend things like Phasmophobia, Mouthwashing, Observation Duty, and - when it comes out - Lacey's Flash Games. Phasmophobia is a fun horror game to play with friends, and is all about guessing what you're up against. Observation Duty is a game of memory, with a horror twist. Mouthwashing and Lacey's Flash Games are both story driven horror games that mostly focus on subjects such as abuse, so they tend to lean into the more psychological aspects. Am I Nima, another game that's a demo currently, is a fun game that's both story driven but also a puzzle (you have to make words to answer questions to stay alive)

Terraria, Risk of Rain 2, Deltarune, Hollow Knight (and Silksong), Beyond Good and Evil, Owlboy, and Psychonauts are also other games I recommend!! If you want other suggestions, feel free to send me an ask
