Muse Mixup Madness—May 1, 2024

hello, one and all, and welcome to our very delayed prompts post! this should be the last time prompts are this late, since i've added reminders in my calendar now.

like i said before, this month there's going to be reruns. specifically, i'm going to be taking the most popular prompts from february and march to offer up again. so without further ado! all prompts are low fantasy.

1. What Once Went Wrong

This and What Once Went Right were originally one prompt, but given how different they are in practice I've decided to divide them into two. For this one, you'll be envisioning what your character's life would be like if an unfortunate event in their past either didn't happen or turned out in their favor.

2. What Once Went Right

Both sides of the coin are here today, but in the future you'll usually only be seeing one of this prompt and What Once Went Wrong. This one's the exact opposite of its twin: take a time in your character's life that worked out well or where they succeeded at something, and find out what would have happened if things hadn't ended so nicely.

3. The Road Not Taken

Decisions, decisions! Everyone's made them, and everyone's path in life has been forever altered by them. Pinpoint a critical choice your character once made, and see who they'd have become if they'd chosen a different option.

4. Home On The Range

We do have one new prompt, though it's a very different style from the other three! In the Pokémon Ranger games, people and Pokémon have a somewhat different relationship. What would your character be like if they were from one of those regions?

A order from the @shadow-cafe!

-One medium assortment box of cookies! (80 cookies, 40 flavors)

-Two bags of pokepuffs!

Enjoy!~

Oh dang, nice! Thanks, we were actually finally out of Chef's pecha cobblers. These are gonna be great to share with all the beans!

sweeeeeeet. yes lychee you get one too.

As someone with a Flareon, I am incredibly biased to how FLOOFY they are.

You may want to research what Eevees evolve into

In this world Evolution is a term used to describe a sudden change in form and biological structure (Eg: a pikachu turning into a raichu)

So it's closer to a metamorphosis than what the term would typically denote, understood. Barney, could you...?

<Zrrt, yep.>

... one Pokemon can become all of these...?

<It's a one-way trip, though. Y'see why that Everstone collar was handed over?>

... I... will admit when I am wrong to not accept a gift, yes, hmm...

Here's the Eebydeeby guide, needed a minute to find it.

[picture of a distressed jet black mew with red eyes slightly out of focus looking extremely stressed and with a bruise on their tail] help! I’ve been turned into a mew!! I don’t know how or why but I was in the shower then a power surge happened and next time I look around I’m floating as a mew soaking wet!! My lucario had to help dry me off but when he tried to shut the door he got my tail in it.

OH. Oh, well heck I don't really know what to say here. Do you know about the Eebydeeby guide made by Gen? That might help you get a little used to things.

I'm sorry, I don't know your whole situation, but this is... probably permanent.

It's... supposed to be a day where people give gifts and just generally do big favors for their mothers.

There's a reason I don't celebrate it.

What's Mother's Day? I saw it on a calendar for next month.

I'm just sitting here thumping my tail leaf on the bed because I CAN ACTUALLY MOVE IT A BIT MYSELF NOW EHEEHEHEHEHEHEHE~

Just. MEW I'm getting so giddy about all this.

...Huh.

Even more disturbing than I imagined. Thanks!

I come from a world where animals exist. AMA.

Apparently animals don’t exist in most of the worlds that rotomblr users come from and they’re even FICTIONAL in some of them. I, on the other hand, lived ALONGSIDE them. Yes, I lived with ANTS and MICE and WORMS. Ask me anything about my animal experience.

Okay, I have to ask. Do salmon actually evolve in mating season?

Protecting Yourself from Fetish Mining.

The rise in fetish mining anons has become horrifically rampant over the past year in RPC. Unfortunately, many folks have fallen victim to them due to the nature of fetish miners. The purpose of this PSA is to aid in spotting fetish mining anons within the Tumblr RPC.

Before I continue, please proceed with caution as this topic is adult themed but is a PSA for everyone. I will not go into detail about any fetishes. To learn more about general fetish mining, and what to look out for, check out this detailed PSA by BeckiiCruel, and this PSA about fetish mining within the art community by BluSilurus.

What is Fetish Mining?

Fetish mining, within the Tumblr RPC, is the soliciting of fetish content through Tumblr's inbox via anonymous asks. These asks are sent without the receiver knowing their true purpose and without their informed consent.

People are allowed to have fetishes, but fetish miners thrive off their victims being unassuming and unable to give informed consent. Fetish mining is a nonconsensual fetish and exploits their victims into giving them fetish content.

What to Look For.

Fetish miners within the Tumblr RPC use the anonymous inbox feature to conceal their identity, evade accountability for their actions, and come off as nonthreatening. They'll most likely come off as playful and exploit the fun in receiving anonymous asks within the RPC.

Fetish miners prefer targeting SFW blogs over NSFW ones. Why? Fetish miners want to claim their asks are not of fetishistic nature and to deny the receiver consent. They rely on plausible deniability in order to continue sending asks to their victims.

Please note that anything can be a fetish. Fetish mining asks will appear as innocent as possible to trick unassuming victims into giving them fetish content. They can also be super subtle or extremely obvious. Here are a few behaviors and examples of what to look for:

– Persistent or fixated on the same topic, action, request, or question over an over again. – Pressuring the receiver to answer the ask/s in a playful manner. – Pulling or stomping on a muse's tail, limb, hair, etc. – Putting your muse in a scenario where they're stuck in something. – Transforming your muse into an object, creature, or adding new features. – Cloning a muse repeatedly over several asks. – Feeding a muse over several asks. – Tickling a muse over several asks. – Fixating on muse's underwear, shoes, or other specific garments. – Wanting a scenario of a muse's scent or smell in detail. – Any kind of bathroom talk, including the discussion of diapers, the sender wetting themselves, discussion of any bodily fluid, and so forth. – Giving a muse a kind of potion, magic etc, that will force the muse into their desired effect ( changing their size, making them pregnant, expanding or shrinking certain body parts, laughing fits, the muse becomes lustful, or anything listed above, etc. ). – Super detailed scenarios featuring any of the listed topics that is without any plotting or context. – And much more as anything can be a fetish.

All instances above have been reported in the RPC throughout the years. Here is a Goodle document with current records given by victims. Please take a look to see real examples of fetish mining. You are free to submit your own instances if you have the victims consent. Instructions on how to do so are in the document.

How to Protect Yourself.

If an ask feels off to you, trust your gut. You do not need to answer every ask that comes into your inbox. If you're still uncertain check with trusted friends, or cross check the Google document listed above. Block any anon that makes you feel off, uneasy, or unsafe. Set your own boundaries, but be warned, fetish miners will not respect them if you leave them unblocked.

If you feel you must answer the ask, take a screenshot, block the anon, and then put the screenshot and your answer in a seperate post. Remember anons must be a member of the tumblr community. Unless they have another account, blocking them will keep you safe from further fetish mining attempts.

If you think someone is being fetish mined please reach out to them and inform them. Victims rarely realize they're nonconsensually playing into someone's fetish. Victims should not be shamed or told they should know better. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Look out for your fellow rper if you see anything that could be fetish mining.

Hey Kyle! Long time no see!

Have ya ever been to Fortree? I think you'd love it there! (If there was an easy Door there I'd basically live there)

Anyway, going for badge 6! Wish me luck! ^u^

Oppy ( @freeroaming-curiosity )

Oh heck, good stuff! Good luck to you on the badge, Oppy!

As for Fortree, while I have been there? Uh... yeah the place is one massive OSHA violation, I am NOT comfortable with those bridges sorry--

Oh! Well either way they're super soft and they're genuinely super nice to touch.

...You wouldn't expect a species so commonly feared as Giratina would be so cute and nice to hug but. HECK you're basically just a big super-powerful dragon puppy and I wish more people saw that.

[Giratina mail!]

[... Well more like Blivie mail. Oblivion is poking his head out from the distortion world, it is to note the portal is big enough to fit its head and a couple of wing tendrils.

... They have puppy dog eyes going and softish thuds can be heard from within the portal... is he wagging its tail?]

(@oblivionthegiratina)

Oh!!! Heck, my vines aren't fully grown in yet, but I'll still gladly hug a biggol softie! C'mere you~

Yep, there goes a half-Snivy reaching out to hug at the little bit of Giratina that's poking out into his room. Still good to hug. Soft where the big guy's not armored.

...Do you do something special with your fur? It's SO SOFT.

Hoenn born and raised, can confirm.

I feel like this should be obvious, but do not party if you are in danger. Take shelter.

If you really want to party, do it afterwards, to celebrate making it through the danger.

So... The Snivy spoke up in one of my dreams for the first time.

He was... I'd say still scared, but trying to reach out? Like there was something wrong, he needed help. I can't tell what it was but... it almost felt like he had a sudden realization, and was willing to at least try and work with me. But the mask stays off.

...At least it feels like he's not actively suppressing my transition into being a Snivy now, which is. Genuinely really nice.
