My RP Dos and Don'ts.
4 years ago
What I Consider Acceptable:
- Being turned into a humanoid or half-non-humanoid character. Non-morphic animal characters have to be anthro before they can be used as tf subject here, so either make them anthro or have an anthro version.
- Anthro Pokemon/half-humanoid Pokemon that can speak English.
- Horror characters as long as they're not Creepypasta characters.
-Nintendo and/or Smash Bros as long as you leave Fire Emblem characters out.
- TG of both genders.
- Curses.
- Becoming what you're dressed as along as it's a character i'm okay with.
- Alien species transformations. But please no hive-mind with the xenomorphs, they have to be anthro and still have human thoughts. And this includes Krytonians, Saiyans, Orkans, Irkans, Hutts, Caitians, etc.
- Dan Aykroyd/Aykroyd-verse themed especially if it involves the Were-Aykroyd.
- Tim Burton transformations.
- Anthro-styled werecreatures.
- OC related as along as your OC isn't one we're supposed to root for only for said OC to turn against humanity at the end.
- Celebrities/actual people with the exception of people from the 40's to the 60's or athletes.
- Characters i'm familiar with, no anime characters outside of ones I know of since I only know of a few of them.
- Disney characters.
- Dreamworks.
- Nickelodeon.
- Marvel.
- DC.
- Power Rangers/superhero in general.
- Bojack Horseman.
- South Park.
- Dead By Daylight.
- Buffyverse.
- Teen Wolf.
- Possession.
- Hero and villain dynamics.
- Simpsons.
- Biker Mice.
- SNL.
- MLP.
- Weight gain if either the person is A: happy with being plumped up or B: Is turning into a character that is known for having that kind of build.
- Non-morphic animal characters but they have to anthro-fied first.
What I Don't Consider Acceptable:
- Rubber or latex anything. What does a rubber version of a character have that is different than the original form of that character? Apart from being made of rubber, nothing.
- Mind control used for humilating other people into being your depraved sex-slaves or for the purpose of intelligence draining. To me it's just scary and horrifying to watch.
- Feral.
- Anything Night Fury related. Look, I got burned out on Night Furies ages ago and I don't think i'll ever do one again, but please if you have to do them, make them anthro. I cannot do dialogue for characters who just communicate in animal noises or a purely non-morphic.
- Characters who just run away from home and are called 'orphans' despite clearly having parents that clearly exist but the parents are vilified even though we don't see the parents at all.
- Creepypasta characters. They don't count as horror characters, to me a horror character has to be a character from a horror movie or horror comedy movie, a horror show, or a video game that is horror related, anything like Slenderman or Jeff the Killer falls under 'internet age horror'.
- Size changes. Especially if it's within the giant or kaiju variety.
- Sissyification or bimbos since to me it's demeaning unless I can parody that.
- Forced love. If you try to force a character to fall for another character specifically if that character hates the person/creature trying to make them love them.
- Clowns. Clowns aren't a species unless it's a clown based monster. Clown-based characters like Joker are acceptable, just stereotypically mindlessly happy clowns obsessed with spreading the happiness.
- Inanimate transformations. I know some people romanticize this a lot and enjoy being forcibly turned into something that cannot move or talk but I don't, I don't do those, I wouln't be at all attracted or fascinated by someone slowly swelling up as their organs are replaced with stuffing and they turn into an identical version of a stuffed animal/plushie that they saw in a store earlier. Please consider this when you do it.
- Suiting. Being incased in a costume doesn't count as a transformation, that's basically just bondage.
- Weight gain where it's just a character who isn't usually overweight gaining weight and becoming a slovenly version of themselves. It's not much of a change, if it's say Rey or Leia into a hutt or half hutt-like form then i'll accept it, but if it's just normal Rey or normal Leia only with a hutt-like body type with Jabba table manners it doesn't count. Characters like Pete, Jabba, Peter Griffin, Annie Wilkes (movie version),Lawrence Limburger (and most if not all Plutarkians in general), Mrs Puff, Otho Fenlock, Mr Creosote, Eric Cartman, Finnis Everglot are acceptable since they're already like that and especially if that is that person turning into that character and the same goes for Baron Harkonnen. The baron is described as being monstrously overweight in the book to begin with, even turning into a version of yourself that is similar to the Baron is acceptable. But if it's just a character who isn't fat normally becoming someone who doesn't move and washes themselves with a 'rag on a stick', nope...sorry. Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs is an exception since it's played for laughs and the Mayor looses weight at the end of the first movie (and isn't seen in the sequel but is in the show).
- The whole thing focuses too much on butt and belly worship. Especially if it's characters like Gloria, Moto Moto or Norm from Norm of the North...basically any large non-morphic animal character who only exists for being a butt-joke or doesn't have any character traits apart from 'hurr they're thicc ya'll'. Lady Dimitrescu is an exception to this since she is naturally well endowed in terms of her physique and is extremely tall and also goes into the MILF character. The Duke is a character who is overweight but there is more to him than his weight, he's actually useful and to be honest an adorable character.
- Stereotypes. Stereotype transformations where it's just into a stereotype of a type of profession/archetype don't count.
- Age changes. Unless it is MILF/DILF/Aunt related or part of a transformation into a character of that particular age.
- Protagonists who are child-aged...nothing wrong with young protagonists, I am just saying I would rather not get accused of being a pedophile for putting a teenage character in a sexual situaton. Please either teen or adult characters unless said child is actually just an adult character in the form of a child as the result of a spell.
- Fire Emblem. Look it's just there are fans of that game that irk me and make me feel like not playing them.
- Please no overly gratuitious sex-scenes and no lovey-dovey stuff, I can only tolerate the latter for so long without going insane.
- 'Diseases don't exist in my universe'...I don't care/ if your version of a character you're from is from a world where supposedly bad things don't exist, you cannot ignore things like war, death, and Covid forever. Even Disney characters have to abide by this exact rule, you're not in your world, you're in my world which is a mix of the real world in many ways with many of those aspects. So next time when you RP as Little John, Sulley, Baloo or whatever toon character you have chosen in my RPs, please note that even toon characters in this universe of mine can get sick.
- Yaoi or yuri with non-LGBT characters. I consider it acceptable if the character is a LGBT character or portrayed by a LGBT performer to begin with (e.g Cogsworth, Timon, the Mayor of Halloweentown/Otho Fenlock or Associate Bob).
- Non-English speaking. You have to at least be able to speak fluent English or at least be good at it partially to do it. And for the love of Hades please don't do broken English in RPs or ones like this: *look at chair* 'Look he is on the chair.' Yes, I know he's sitting on the chair, I can see him sitting. 'look he's...' Yes I KNOW, He's sitting, but is he doing anything else? 'Look he is on chair.' You already told me that, either do something or try harder or don't even bother at all.
- No one-time-characters who show up without a reason and then disappear never to be seen afterwards. I don't want a random character to show up just for one episode only to disappear and never be seen again.
- Skyrim. See above.
- Left 4 Dead. I don't know how i'd ever do anything like a tf into any of those creatures from the game.
- Scenarios where a character falls for and has a sexual relationship with one of their own relatives/family members. I don't do incest, nope. I'm sorry but I don't think Sulley would bang someone who he views as a son. And well I wouldn't bang Sulley anyway, John Goodman is sexy enough as a human, he doesn't need to be Sulley to make me simp for him. Also after getting accused of doing an incest fic early last year (the idiot who accused me thought it was an incest fic, look I established that the character is an adopted family member who started off as a friend of the monster in question, he isn't in a sexual relationship with his adoptee), I want to avoid falling into that.
- Homestuck. The designs would be difficult enough to translate into a good tf alone since there's not much to by in terms of how they look, they don't have limbs (that I know of) or noses and it would be easier for me to depict them as being more close to actual humans appearance-wise.
- World domination endings. They are flawed at best and at worst.
- Face Heel Turns when done incorrectly. I'm sorry but are we supposed to identify with your character? Then please for the love of all that is unholy, do NOT have your character side with the monster they encounter and get transformed by said monster and decide 'screw humanity', yes I know humans can be monsters but I am sick of the humans are monsters trope.
- Non-morphic Pokemon transformations especially with inaccuracy. Get your Pokemon types right when you do one of those, I don't want a 'hey, you got my Dark types mixed up with my Fairy types' scenario or things like a Machoke and a non-fighting type pairing up (especially if they're not even in the same field group).
- If you have a non-morphic animal character that sometimes switches between four legs and two legs for no reason, please make up your mind. It's either one or the other but I prefer two legs, two legs good, four legs bad. For those who try to do this with their animal transformations please note that the actual message of Animal Farm isn't 'animals are better than humans and humans suck' oh no it's..'power corrupts and if you try to destroy the oppressor you'll become just like them if not worse'. It's like the song says, we walk on two legs, not on fours, walk on four legs, you break the law and what happens when you break the law and the rules aren't fair? The only place you'll go from here is the house of pain.
- Poke-speak only tfs. I like having my Pokemon speak in English so that they can speak to their trainers. Also no 'master and slave' scenarios please and don't make it look like that humans/trainers are the oppressors since we got that enough with Mewtwo in the first movie but that was for a reason.
- Werecreatures being portrayed as essentially hive-minded human-hating biggots, look if your were-creature basically has no reason for assimilating humans other than they hate them and all that 'grr humans suck, join us and assimilate all mankind into being like us' crap, then that isn't a werecreature, that's a zombie with fur. It's fine if you want yours to be different but unless you're playing a were-insect nope..sorry, not allowed. If I can find a way to subvert it like for example they're only acting like that because they've been imprinted into acting like that whenever the leader is around, sure. Or maybe they're were-insects and workers of this species cannot do it but the queen/ruler of the species can because their powers are more advanced.
- Anime characters from anime I haven't seen or heard of. At least provide me a link. I don't own a crunchyroll and don't have a netflix subscription (well I do, it's just not a paid one yet).
- Vore.
- Forced mind control especially if the person playing the other character doesn't agree with you using it.
- Clothing transformations.
- Transformations into other people's body parts.
- Blatant body part worship.
- Situations that are essentially ones in which the victim is helpless to do anything.
- Non-morphic animal characterx/human character pairings. I would rather not be accused of zoophilia thank you. So please, don't pair me up with non-morphic characters like the Madagascar animals or the Lion King cast, they have to be anthro to get my approval.
- Puro/anything Changed related. I am okay with symbiotes and goo or possession stuff but Changed is one thing I always say no to because I dealt with some rather unpleasant fans of said game and vowed never to play the game or do anything with it for a subject unless I can do my own parody or remake of it, i'm not comfortable with tackling Changed in general unless I can do what i'd do to improve it or make fun of it.
- No cutesy-wutesy momma and baby stuff and no 'little one' crap either.
- Being turned into a humanoid or half-non-humanoid character. Non-morphic animal characters have to be anthro before they can be used as tf subject here, so either make them anthro or have an anthro version.

“Horror has to be visual” is one of the most reductive statements I’ve ever heard
