Pillow’s Magic Anon List! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ ✧･ﾟ:* Magic *:･ﾟ✧

Anon specifies time!

Pillow: Muses’s skin is soft it feels like downy feathers and velvet! Be wary of brushing against people; they won’t be able to keep their hands off you!

Concrete: Muses’s skin is hard as rocks and rough to the touch! You probably shouldn’t brush up on anyone; you might hurt them by accident!

Glass Is Fragile: Muse has glass wings! They’re very beautiful, but… Not very practical. You could revel in the fact that you have beautiful wings, or you could hurt yourself trying to fly; what will you do?

Sharp Edge: Well… Not only do you have a sharp wit, but you now also have sharp fingernails! Even if your fingernails are blunt, you can now cut through most materials with just your fingernails! Better not get too rough in bed, or your partner could have some pretty deep scratches!

Rumplestiltskin: Welp. Looks like you’ve had a run-in with Rumple and can’t pay him back! Now you’re stuck in your room, spinning gold thread from the yarn you used to use to knit! You never should have made that deal…

Coffee Bean: Whoa! Who forgot to hide the coffee?! Muse is on a caffeine high and can’t seem to calm down! It’s even gotten to the point where they’re almost literally bouncing off the walls! I feel bad for whoever has to deal with them.

Vanilla Bean: Muse is now sweeter than sugar! In fact, they’re so gentle now, that every time they touch something, it’s feather light; just a brush of their fingertips. Their voice is soft and they’re almost too kind for their own good! Better hope no one decides to take advantage of that…

Cherry Red: No matter their gender, your muse is now wearing bright cherry red lipstick! Be careful if you kiss anyone [or anything], you’ll leave a stain!

Ink and Morpheus: Uh oh. Looks like your muse accidentally fell asleep at the tattoo parlor and didn’t get what they paid for! Anon decides what the tattoo is and the location, your muse just has to react!

Terrible? Transformation Curses

Send my muse a curse to transform them for a day (or however long the mun/sender decides). Feel free to combine curses to create a terrible, or beautiful, monster!

Third Eye: The muse has an eye placed anywhere on their body that is often visible (forehead, chest, hand…) and this eye has the ability to see glimpses of the future, another dimension, and/or supernatural entities.

Horns: The muse has horns sprouting from their head. The size and number of horns is completely up to the sender!

Slither: The muse now has a long, serpentine tail and has lost the ability to walk on their legs.

Cloven hooves: The muse has to walk with a pair of hooves instead of feet. Add furry legs for a classic ‘satyr’ look if the sender wishes.

Lovely locks: Instead of hair, the muse now has … something else up there. Snakes, tentacles, spines, dripping slime - the sender can use their imagination!

Gaping Maw: If you have two mouths, can you eat twice as many tacos? Let’s hope. The muse has a second mouth placed anywhere on their body, either hidden or visible, and it’s full of razor sharp teeth.

Fangs: The muse’s ordinary mouth now sports sharp vampire-like fangs.

Jaws: Hell, since when is two sharp teeth enough? The muse now has an entire mouthful of razor fangs. 

Scratch: Instead of fingernails, the muse now has long, pointed claws. Be careful with those things. 

Thwump: Who doesn’t want a tail? Now the muse has their own tail. It can be cute and delicate or heavy and covered in spikes depending on the sender. 

Hiss: The muse has a long, long tongue. Tapered or forked is up to you!

Porcupine: Porcupines are cute, but a little hazardous when annoyed. The muse now has sharp spines placed anywhere on their body (back, elbows, legs…).

Swamp beast: The muse can breathe easy under water with a new set of gills, and why not webbed fingers and toes to go with it?

Majestic birb: Now the muse has the power of flight with their own set of wings. Are they fluffy bird wings, leathery bat wings, or buzzing insect wings? 

Piercing Gaze: Whatever the muse’s original eye color is, they now have something different and unusual. Pure black eyes, milky white eyes, bright red eyes - it’s up to the sender!

Snout: The muse has swapped noses with any type of creature. Give them a beak, a pig snout, a feline button nose, or even a canine muzzle. 

Solid, Liquid, Gas: The muse’s entire body is made up of something other than flesh! Turn them into a gooey slime monster, a red-hot lava monster, a hard rock beast, or even a wisp of person-shaped fog.

Leathers and Feathers: The muse has more than just smooth skin now. Add some scales, feathers, fur, or an exoskeleton!

Size Difference: Grow or shrink the muse either a little bit or a whole lot.

Chameleon: Give the muse bright neon skin, wild colors of hair, or exotic stripes and patterns. Plaid? Go for it.

Roleplaying Community

Given Tumblrs upcoming NSFW ban (and clearly no idea of what will be truly removed seeing they’re too busy flagging posts of people’s dogs and stuff right now), I have a few recommendations of things to do to prepare.

1) Get to know Google Docs. I highly recommend writing up your rp rules, character headcanons, profiles, etc on Google Docs. If you move to a new website like Pillowfort, Twitter, etc, all you’ll need to do is simply post publicly viewable links to your rules and such. No re-writing with new unfamiliar formats, juggling what should be shared and what shouldn’t be. Quick links is all it takes and you can easily post your rules and information anywhere you’d like.

2) Save your artwork and images. I’d use OneDrive, Dropbox, Google, etc, to save all of your artwork, roleplaying icons, gifted art, etc somewhere that you can easily access and get to for later.

3) Save any old RP you want kept to Google Docs. You can make header links within documents that work like chapters in a book: click the link to instantly go to a specific saved rp within one master document.

4)Get acquainted with Discord. Besides being a chat program to keep up with friends, Discord offers server creation which is excellent for building and maintaining RP communities. If you haven’t joined yet, it’s free and doesn’t ban NSFW content. You can even create servers for just yourself that work just as well to save important links and posts.

5)Know your alternatives. Have a list made of places to migrate to should your blog be flagged and deleted. @pillowfort-io is a new blogging platform I’m already on. It doesn’t offer side blog creation just yet, but it does offer many features Tumblr doesn’t, such as threaded replies, the option to make posts non-rebloggable, community creation, and a very simple blog layout that doesn’t let people post flashing gifs and impossible to read tiny text boxes on their profiles.

<——–>

I know for a lot of people this is intense; being on Tumblr since it’s creation and growing a community here can leave a weird feeling behind. For many of you who’ve already lost friends and fandom members to NSFW blogs being flagged and deleted, the upcoming total ban leaves a lot of uncertainty.

We don’t need to panic though, as that won’t fix anything. Having a solid game plan and idea ready to go instead is the better alternative.
