By purchasing my art and / or using my designs, you agree to follow these terms; and you also confirm you have read and agreed to this Terms of Service.First and foremost, I retain partial rights to my art and adoptables, so I am able to enforce these Terms of Service if any person(s) are found breaking them.

General Guidelines

The following rules apply to both designs and art created by myself


  • My art and adoptables must be credited to me through my toyhou.se account.

  • Any design created by myself can be resold or vouchered regardless of the method of obtainment.

  • Please only value my designs and art to their original purchase price OR the equivalent commission pricing. ( only if there was no monetary value associated originally )

  • For example: An adopt bought from an adopt set by me for $25 would still be $25, but a custom character I completed as part of a trade could be valued at $100.

First Warning


Blacklisted

User:
hammerlockestadium / CelestialVoyager / 0utl4w (suspected) / Skullkin (formerly)

  • Here is a post that gives more details on my encounter with them as well as other's experiences.

  • Disregarded my TOS in favor of selling a design made by myself that they did not purchase in order to make a profit.

  • EDIT: Recently attempted to block evade in order to obtain a design by myself. Details can be seen on the above link.

  • There are several accounts of this user obtaining characters either through trades or for free only to resell them later and they are known to purposely ignore artists’ TOS as they please.

User:
Bread-loaf / y0lk0

  • Added by reason of association to Skullkin.

  • They are a known defender of Skullkin's dubious trading/selling practices and frequently sell/trade designs to Skullkin knowing full well she will violate the artist's TOS.

User:
Ggrowled / Witchyguts / Gremguts / Slimeroo / Slimerooo / Slimeyr / SlimeHive / Slime_Hive
(SlimeHive is their current active accounts on toyhou.se and twitter while Slimeyr is their deviantart)

  • I dated them in the past (2011- early 2014) and have had them on my blacklist for years now.

  • During the time we knew each other they abused and mentally manipulated me. I have not interacted with them since we stopped talking, but I have testimonies from those Slimeyr has also abused proving that Slimeyr has been consistently exhibiting the same abusive and manipulative behavior from when I knew them. The testimonies range from 2011 to 2018 in terms of recentness.

  • They also formerly had a PSA written about them on twitter (which has since been deleted) but it detailed an account of sexual abuse they carried out against their partner at the time. (here is an archived version showing proof of the tweet.)

  • Disclaimer: the link contains a detailed account of sexual assault and abuse, proceed with caution.

  • I'm largely uncomfortable dealing with them and / or people associated with them. Associating with them will probably result in an automatic block from myself and my wife.

  • Reselling dispute.

  • Keeping the information largely private out of respect for all parties involved.
