Pokeask Latin American Month Drawpile!

Like the title says, decided to set up a lil thing for the month to recognize and celebrate fellow community members who are of Latin American backgrounds!

Since I know it's hard to encompass everyone and get all the bases covered, the definition we're gonna run with for this is:

"Anyone of Central American, South American, or Spanish Caribbean background whose languages include Spanish or Portuguese, whose cultures are also influenced by or have ties to Spain or Portugal"

(basically, I'm waving my hands in a welcoming manner to any Brazilians here gjdh)

How it's gonna work: join in with a sona, a character you have that's coded to be Latin American (coded meaning that even if these countries don't exist in your worldbuilds, they have influence to their respective culture), or a character of yours that you feel represents you! Doesn't have to be just one either, if you got a handful-feel free to put em in!

Have them with your/their respective flag in any form-be it an actual flag, an accessory, clothing, etc

I want to open this up to the Latin American members of the community first, but once Sunday, October 1st hits, everyone else who may have Latin American characters can jump in on the fun c:

I plan to compile everything sometime by Sunday, October 15th so everyone who wants to join has plenty of time to add their part. I know tumblr loves to butcher the quality and take away transparency, so you're welcome to send me a transparent version through DMs if you want!

And in case the file size messes up with uploading, here's a full size link c:

You can either reblog your part or upload it separately and tag me. If you make a separate upload I'll be tracking "pokeask latam month". Tag me nonetheless though just in case the tag doesn't update for whatever reason!

Time to throw those flags in the air, vamos!

Abbadons' Gilded Gala Event!

Hello! Eve-of-Halloween here hosting my first-ever community event in celebration of reaching 200 followers! This event will have story/plot significance for sinnohsiblings! Event Dates: 8/31/23 - 10/1/23 What Is this event? Lord Abbadon is hosting a formal ball in his grand palace on the peak of Mount Coronet, and all are invited! Formal attire is required and Legendaries are highly encouraged to join and socialize with their fellow legends of other worlds. Abbadon has extended this invitation across the multiverse. Some rumors say he's playing matchmaker, others say it's an excuse to see his wife but who knows! Who can attend? ANYONE in the Pokemon Askblog community! If your character is capable of shapeshifting they are heavily encouraged to come disguised as humans. If your character is unable to transform Lord Abbadon has commissioned special rings for any non-legendary guest in attendance to grant them the ability to transform if they so desire. You are allowed to bring a plus one but if you bring children there will be a separate area to provide them with games and entertainment as the adult attendees' refreshment table will serve adult beverages such as wines. Children will not be permitted in that area. But food and non-alcoholic drinks will also be provided for all guests. What should I wear?

Anything formal by your character's standards! So long as your character feels good in what they are wearing it will be permitted. But you should dress to impress given the guests of honor. This Gala is basically an overly formal version of a meet-and-greet to get his children to socialize with other Pokemon and legends as they've become far too reclusive for his liking. Examples of outfits can be seen here with Galadriel, Zephyr and Parisa!

How do I participate?

Feel free to interact with other guests/blogs and the cast of this blog. The purpose of this event is to get people to socialize and maybe get out of their shells! Rumor has it that the god of love is a special guest attending at Lord Abbadon's request to work her magic~! So keep an eye out for her! Lady Amore will be playing Cupid and may temporarily hit you with a 3-ask infatuation spell! (This is an optional part of the event see the tags section for how to consent to this event) For those who participate at the end of the event, I will be raffling 2 legendary designs! One of the designs is the daughter of the god of love herself! Perhaps this is her token of apology for all the chaos she is bound to cause~! But beware if you are caught causing too much of a ruckus or entering the off-limits areas the Lycan legion guards of on-duty Zacian and Zamazenta will toss you off the mountain top!

What are the tags for the event? #SINSIBGALA (this is the general event tag! all posts pertaining to the event will be reblogged to @eohblogsrp)

#cursedcrush (use this tag on your post if you want a chance to be hit by Amore's 3 ask love curse! If hit you will become infatuated with the first pokemon you see for 3 asks. it will wear off after that and you will remember that it was the effect of a curse. Blogs who do not have this tag on their event posts will not be targeted.)

When the event starts I will also make a post with a map of Abbadon's palace and several backgrounds that you are free to use for the event! Thank all of you so much for your support and I look forward to more stories to come!

@ask-dream-fighters

*the Braixen walks up to Farrow with a basket of different donuts in it. She stops and tilts her head at them comes closer*

"Donut? Not feeling good right now huh? What's wrong? If you don't mind me asking? I've certainly have been having to think about alot of stuff lately."

"I can't imagine it's been easy for you, either... I know you caught up with Dad a little while ago, but... well. Just 'cause he's back doesn't mean everything is okay, does it?"

"I'm glad you're here."

Community PSA

[ This is only part of the full PSA (including evidence) which you can find here ]

Content Warnings

Grooming, Victim blaming, Harassment, Sexual abuse, Suicide / Self-harm mention, Emotional / Mental abuse mention

Introduction

Some of you may know about the PSA that circulated a few months ago regarding The-House-of-Hemingway’s relationship and unacceptable sexual interactions with someone who was a minor. Hemingway now goes by C-a-l-y-p-s-o. This post will discuss the details of the PSA, as well as this user’s concerning past and present behavior.

To the best of the ability of those responsible for this document, the username will continually be updated so that this person cannot interact with members of this community again without disclosing who they are, regardless if the interaction is safe-for-work or not.

The following post is intended to bring awareness to someone who is

Confirmed to be a groomer.

Attempting to convince members of the pokeask community that they have ��changed” but is clearly trying to win favor with you.

A risk to the community, cannot be safely trusted, and needs to exit community spaces.

Disclaimers

Harassment of Calypso in any form is unacceptable behavior. The purpose of this post is to inform. This is not a call for hostile action beyond a block on every social media possible.

Please respect the victim’s boundaries and do not badger them for further details than what has been disclosed. While disagreement and discussion is OK, please keep your comments outside of tumblr and public discord servers.

If harassment occurs, the names of any individuals who dogpile, send death threats to, or doxx those involved with this situation will also be listed (with concrete evidence only) on this document.

TL;DR

Tumblr user @C-a-l-y-p-s-o, previously known as the mod behind the pokeask blog “house-of-hemingway,” is a confirmed groomer who has deleted their admission of guilt to save face.

Calypso has violated a boundary that is expected between a victim and an abuser by leveraging themselves into positions of authority (server moderators, event leaders, etc.)

Calypso has broken promises made to their peers over the course of their internet presence, changing names and website profiles/identities in order to escape the responsibility for their actions.

Calypso is attempting to fall back into good graces by sending copy-pasted positivity asks on mundays to sweep their notoriety under the rug.

This document will contain proof of the above in exhaustive detail under the “readmore”, or if you are viewing this in the public google document form, it will be under the resources.

We are using this as an opportunity to take a firm stance against grooming in the community, and to express our support for survivors. Our goal is to address the circumstances under which it happens with preventive guidelines and trauma-informed resources.

Resources & Education

What does grooming look like? A quick guide written by survivors of abuse within the Pokeask community:

The adult may not approach you with the intention of grooming you.

The objective of grooming is for an adult to turn their bond with a minor into a transactional relationship; circumstances in which the minor is providing something for them— whether that be emotional support or sexual gratification— and normalizes breaking boundaries to do so.

Though they may not realize they are blurring or overstepping your boundaries, the effect is still the same; they are desensitizing you to unfair and inappropriate treatment.

Many adults deal with mental illness, go through hard times, and struggle with loneliness. If you’re acquaintances or friends, you naturally might want to support them, “fix” their problems, or do them favors because they’ve been nice to you or because they’re not being malicious.

But ultimately, prioritizing their wellbeing compromises your own, well-meaning or not. That is what an imbalanced power dynamic looks like, and it is up to the adult to realize this, acknowledge it, and seek out other outlets, resources, people, and help available to them.

A responsible adult does not take advantage of your availability when given the opportunity to do so over other appropriate choices, no matter what.

The adult may expect you to be available at all times.

Guilt-tripping when you do not respond to their messages, spamming your DMs, or demanding that you spend most of your online time with them.

Making time for them might mean you end up spending less time with your friends and become distant from others in your social circle.

A red flag to look for is if they call you their “best / closest friend” over other adult relationships in their life.

The adult may put the burden of their mental health or well-being on you.

This can include constant venting / oversharing, validation seeking, or coming to you when they are in a mental health crisis. This can happen in private dms or in public servers.

Remember, no one individual is responsible for managing a loved one’s mental health, and it is not OK to expect a teenager to intervene when someone is threatening suicide or self-harm. That is for a trained professional to handle.

The adult may invite you into unmoderated spaces with other adults.

They might have “lighthearted” conversations with you or in front of you about sexual content, flirt with you, share explicit images / memes where you can see them, ask to role-play erotic scenarios with your ocs, or draw NSFW / suggestive art of your ocs / sona.

Red flags to look for are adults telling you that you are mature for your age, asking you to keep their interactions with you a secret, or interacting inappropriately with you in voice call so that there is no chat log of what they’ve said.

You do not owe your followers or fans your attention if you feel uncomfortable.

A friendship between two artists or between you and a fan of your work should not involve any pressure to reciprocate gift art, respond to asks, or role-play.

If someone crosses your boundaries based on a perceived parasocial relationship with you, or makes you feel guilty for not interacting with them, you are in your full right to block them.

If you suspect an ask is a covert fetish, such as asking you to draw an overly specific subject or situation, report them to an adult in the community.

Similarly, if someone you are a fan of is crossing your boundaries, take a step back to evaluate whether you would be OK with it if they were not someone you admire.

Just because someone is popular, skilled at art, widely respected, or well-liked does not give them the right to treat you in the ways listed above.

Listen to your gut; if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, but are doubting your feelings because you look up to the person you’re interacting with, take a step back and tell someone you trust. No friendship is worth being treated this way.

If you suspect you were groomed in the past, or are wondering if a relationship you have with an adult is inappropriate, please look through the information linked in this section. Hotlines, counseling and self-help resources for survivors are listed here as well.

Education & Resources | UK, CA, AUS, US (eng, esp)

United States

Crisis Support & Counseling (Phone, Text, Other; Several languages available; Indigenous responders available; ASL)

About the bill to pressure American corporations to remove reported CSAM from their websites

Coming forward about abuse can be re-traumatizing and difficult, but it can also be healing and liberating— It allows for a survivor to be in charge of their narrative and to lead the conversation surrounding their trauma.

Sometimes, it takes years to recognize trauma or past abuse, let alone to be ready to publicly talk about it. It is validating to finally be able to say, “This happened to me. I survived it. I deserved better.” to the world.

Trauma follows us for a long time. No matter how much time has passed, a victim has the right to disclose their abuse and hold their abuser accountable. It is our responsibility to listen. https://metoomvmt.org/

@ask-dream-fighters

(Vivy)

*Walks up to Snow noticing that she wasn't moving and realizing that she was some kind of Robot or something with A.I runs off and comes back with a light blue rain coat placing it on her and the wrapping a blue bow around her neck with a note on a string.*

"I don't know what happened but I hope your day goes better little A.I bot Maybe when you are operating we chat. Have a good day. "

*The pink Vulpix leaves*

Snow begins to start back up, stretching, finally cured of her virus… She had just missed the Vulpix unfortunately, but she does notice the note, taking it off her neck…

“Who the fuck is Vivy? I should probably thank them next time I see them…” she said, though all the stuff put on her catches her attention “I don’t think I’m going to shut down anytime soon after this…” she said “freaking hooligans…”

I really don’t know how many followers I have are still around, or how many remember this place, but yeah. Hello again. For those who don’t know, I’m Zyo.

Years ago I ran this blog, and stopped thanks to burnout from my different blogs and other things taking my attention away. I kept this place mostly as for archive purposes, but also cause I just loved the characters I’d made and the small little story bits I’d planned but never showed.

I still quietly followed a bunch of ask blogs and enjoyed the community as a lurker but I really have missed this and the characters. So… I’m back to Forest Oddities.

I don’t know how often I’ll be able to post, but I’m aiming to get into the swing of some kinda regular schedule. I want to treat this as a low stakes, fun place to just draw my goofy characters again.

I’m treating this mostly as a soft reset. I’m not deleting old posts, but any RPs that might have been going are done and will not be continued. The couple asks I had I chose to delete because they were from dead blogs.

So yeah… asks are open! And I’m also looking for more active blogs to follow so I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have. ^^

'I've been knowing you for a while now and when you told me about what you had to do, I was worried. But I waited for you and as you said you came back, and now you're a fluffy alolan Ninetales. I don't know what the future holds for either of us, but I'm glad I got to spend the time I got with you this year.

"And hope I get to spend more

"And maybe...."

Thank you very much @ask-dream-fighters for this wonderful art ^^!

Dysnomia begins to pace back and forth impatiently Dysnomia: I wasn’t SUPPOSED to know how to do any healing crap! Caulklun said the necklace or whatever was supposed to do SOMETHING to heal him!! Dysnomia does a dramatic pose Dysnomia: AND WELL LOOK. IT’S DONE NOTHING AT ALL. WOW. THANKS CAULKLUN. GLAD THAT GIRATINA CHOSE SUCH A FUCKIN INTELLIGENT MEWSISTANT HUH. The sylveon begins to pace some more Dysnomia: AND SINCE THE FUZZY JERK IS TYPLESS… I DON’T KNOW IF NORMAL METHODS WOULD HELP ALL THAT WELL. Dysnomia: AND THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HELP IS… The sylveon glances over at Goddess sitting in the distance, who appeared to be yawning and stretching out in the grass. His teeth grit in anger. He knew that she only did as was told and it’s her Giratina’s fault. But the sylveon still felt bitter towards her. He sits down with a thud, looking defeated at the ground. His tone is stressed and through gritted teeth, voice splitting into two tones speaking at once. Dysnomia: Sorry.. I’m tired. Thanks for the stuff… I appreciate it. I don’t know if it’ll help fully, but if you have any medical know how I would appreciate it. - - - - - - - - - - [ @ask-dream-fighters ]

The lot of pokemon trying to open the door all at once fall to the ground on the other side of it Looking up they see a white void, and on the other side of it...
