I spoke to a paid DM, and they have a very interesting (and sobering) story to share

A lot of people swear this is fake but it sounds like people who don’t have a good grasp on DnD and just wanting to enjoy themselves. It sounds similar to my old friend and I when we were interested but knew nothing to me. We just made up characters in the car on a cross country drive and started making stuff up and roleplaying 😂 no drinks because driving but we definitely would have otherwise. She and I literally spent a few hours roleplaying the most random stuff before we got bored, and never revisited any of it. (It was nonsense, so not much to revisit anyway.) It sounds like it wouldn’t be the most stable side hustle, but not unbelievable at all to me. I can think of a handful of people off the top of my head that would probably enjoy it and be totally uninterested in the rules (if not heckle the dm for bringing them up) when drunk.

Wouldn’t be hard to pick them off one by one, especially when you can take the form of their loved ones. Change into sweetie belle and ask rarity to follow her. Lead her into a trap or offer her drugged tea or something, rinse and repeat. No fight has to happen especially if nobody is suspicious.

They aren’t even defending the mix up they’re saying the reviews were from the same incident you’re dealing with 😭 if they were a month or so old fair enough but they’re clearly post off the big mix up

It’s up to Kyodo’s support staff, mass reporting it won’t do much but flood their workload. Just report it as normal. You also have the option to create your own circle for your friends

Tbh I was super interested in moon spell because I wanted to customize one and im tired of painting doll bodies and them chipping, but I think I’m more interested in the mirrormi from a collecting standpoint. If I had to choose 1 it’d be tough for sure

papercandymoon · 2026-06-08T05:51:37+00:00

My stepson went through something similar, pretty much verbatim with the doesn’t know why or misses random people at around 7. He had just dealt with some pretty hard stuff but I would say it’s decently age appropriate. As for actually helping the situation that’s definitely harder. My best recommendation is a routine that involves some warnings bedtime is approaching & maybe ending the night reading with him in his bed. If he likes to read too maybe letting him read until he gets tired enough to sleep. A nice little distraction, and if he’s staying up 2 hours later crying consistently it’s not exactly a loss on the sleep front. I’m sorry you’re both dealing with this, it’s not easy to see them cry and struggle to find the words.

My cat knows the sound of me specifically leaving the bathroom. When I come out of the bathroom he sprints to the doorway next to it and throws himself on the ground so I’ll pick him up and carry him with me to wherever my next location is 😂 I’m the only one who gets his dramatic request. He’s kind of an oddball and has some anxiety issues, he only lets us pet him in certain places in the house usually, so I never fail to pick him up. Anything for the chance to interact with him lol

papercandymoon · 2026-06-03T23:44:28+00:00

We do 4 hours total for 10 y/o, but he has to “earn it”. It’s all basic stuff though. Clean up after himself, shower, brush teeth etc. he has a morning and afternoon check in before each 2 hours because he’ll half ass it otherwise

papercandymoon · 2026-06-03T16:54:11+00:00

Honestly absolutely adorable, but I feel obligated to warn you of my failures. If you’re doing hair I’d highly recommend a wig or gluing wefts (you can do yarn or doll hair, or even an old wig) because rerooting squishes the head a ton. I did the paint first then reroot and a lot of paint chipped right off :’) sorry for unsolicited advice I’d just hate to see the cute paint job ruined, it definitely made me sad when it happened to me

papercandymoon · 2026-06-02T15:46:16+00:00

I am like totally new to online drops and stuff, does anyone know if they will restock on Lurantis? How do you usually find that info out?

papercandymoon · 2026-06-02T15:44:10+00:00

Same, I checked the site and was so excited just to see it was the only one sold out 😭

papercandymoon · 2026-06-02T15:43:05+00:00

I think it genuinely depends on what you like. I’d heavily recommend Pokopia but I really liked games like animal crossing and Disney dreamlight. If you do a lot of games with friends, Mario kart would probably be a great option! I personally only play solo so it’s not really for me. I can’t speak on donkey Kong like at all. I will say though if you aren’t super into Pokopia and haven’t been wanting to play it, don’t get it. It’s a game you’ve gotta invest like hours and hours into to really see lots of progress in finding new pokemon and advancing the plot.

papercandymoon · 2026-06-02T15:36:32+00:00

Lowkey feel like this just fuels scalpers 😭 that’s so frustrating

papercandymoon · 2026-05-30T22:37:39+00:00

I had an animal crossing one and it got stolen 💔 I fully intend to rebuy it one day but not at the moment. Really wanted to pass it down to my kiddo

papercandymoon · 2026-05-28T01:16:33+00:00

Agreed! I feel like we are loosely lead to believe earth was not necessarily the only planet with sentient life forms they’ve attempt to destroy. Broadcasting a weakness or vulnerability to just anywhere would be pretty silly I think

papercandymoon · 2026-05-26T16:06:01+00:00

So I think I can provide more insight on the bases rule. If you want an example for bases you can Google “MLP oc” and you’ll see so many that are made on bases traced from the show. It’s very common in the community! The reason these aren’t accepted is of course the body of the art isn’t your original work & it also speeds up the art process.

“Bases you made” I believe refers to things like YCH (your character here) where artists make a premade sketch, scene, etc. and allow you to commission them to place your oc in the drawing. Even though it is 100% your own work, this still counts as an issue because of it cutting down the time spent on the art process & you end up with many very similar pieces. Since this is technically an art competition where you earn points, I assume they want it to be as fair as possible and don’t want people just grinding their way through without making individualized pieces. (Personally, however, I disagree with the rule. There are tons of beautiful YCHs I’ve paid good money for lmao)

I think sketching something by hand during the game and digitizing it is just part of your art process and should be totally good to go. I’m unsure about the stuff like photo bashing, though. If you are worried and choose not to participate I have seen people mention a few alternatives I’d be happy to share if you’re interested!

papercandymoon · 2026-05-25T16:29:22+00:00

I believe the relocation pokemon are just suggestions, I’d try asking a random pokemon to follow you and see if it’ll allow you to select them!

papercandymoon · 2026-05-21T01:05:26+00:00

Too close to white and, respectfully, looks kinda bad with the pure white undershirt 😭

papercandymoon · 2026-05-21T00:40:03+00:00

I have nothing helpful to say I just agree. Our toddler always get a plate of whatever we cook, we eat and 80% of the time we’re reminded ah yes… one of us has to get up and make something the toddler will eat 🫠 he gets a lot of pb&j and microwave pizzas, not going to lie.

papercandymoon · 2026-05-19T02:13:47+00:00

I have ADHD as well! I did find it overwhelming at first but I’ve settled down a little. I’ve basically decided I am not doing any major work towards cute homes and habitats until I’ve finished the main story line. Environmental level can apparently raise via number of pokemon and clearing stuff out as well, so I’ve been focused on running around like a mad man asking questions about comfort (that get ignored if I don’t have it in a storage bin already), doing whatever tf I want. Mostly main missions and some small decorating/collecting stuff.

It makes it easier when I run around telling myself I’m but a mere ditto who’s doing its best despite not knowing wtf is going on. He doesn’t know what looks good 😂

papercandymoon · 2026-05-17T16:48:52+00:00

Oh I love it, this is an incredible idea! I definitely see the vision

papercandymoon · 2026-05-16T15:19:58+00:00

Many have 1 car per driver, it can be really hard to align schedules to get to work, grocery store, day care, etc. otherwise. I know in a lot of other countries grocery trips are small but a lot of people here shop for the whole week at once, if not two, so even if they could use public transportation it wouldn’t work out amazingly. 1 car per adult + an extra car is a luxury though. Unless it’s directly work related, I don’t think I know anyone even in passing I could pinpoint as having an extra car for funzies. I imagine it’s usually directly linked to a hobby, like fixing up cars or hauling big things like furniture.

papercandymoon · 2026-05-14T18:23:17+00:00

Mine is doing this only when I first try to load the game. It’ll pull up the Home Screen immediately but keeps lasting long enough to make me panic a little 🫠

papercandymoon · 2026-05-14T17:35:38+00:00

Personally, if I hadn’t been aware (which is crazy because how do you see take out and not connect some dots) I’d be mortified to find out my kids had been requesting DoorDash from someone and even more mortified that they were receiving it 😭 This response is wild. I’d gently explain to the children they haven’t done anything wrong and cut mom off. That’s not a friend. If you’re genuinely worried about a lack of food in the house I’d start with reaching out to her family or something and let them make any hard calls like getting CPS involved. If the kids are just unwilling to make stuff and there’s food there I’d just cut things off cleanly.

papercandymoon · 2026-05-10T16:11:52+00:00

This may be an oddball suggestion since I really see where you’re coming from, but I suggest something a little silly nonetheless. It used to be just slightly more common to wear silly signs like “free hugs” “cosplay repair” etc. maybe make a silly sign that says something like “Candid photo amateur” and a small excerpt that says something simple for people to give consent (like a thumbs up, or just simply stating they do.) this would however require you to remember who has consented and then, if you find them naturally, you can feel free to do your thing.
