Counseling Guidelines

Asks

Asks are always open. However, on certain days, there will either be an IC or OOC post announcing when 'life advice' asks will become available.

These asks are open for everyone and anyone; anon, fandom, outside fandom, ooc, ic, etc.

For the time being, there is no limit on how many people can send in. On the off chance there's an overload or they don't stop, there will be another post announcing when asks will be closed.

No triggering asks, preferably; these will be made public and some subjects are sensitive to touch on. Asks will be keeping a more 'carefree' and 'casual' approach on counseling, while more serious subjects are taken privately between characters unless specified otherwise.

Messaging/IMing

IMing on tumblr will work as text messages. ICly, Bbt will have a 'work phone' that he'll give the number out more freely to and use solely for work purposes and that he'll have on him at all times with his normal phone.

When/if you have the number (it'll be advertised), you are free to message him at any time! All I ask is, if you do not get a reply right away, then chances are the mun is busy and so the phone can be considered 'off'. If you're worried I might have forgotten (it has happened), then feel free to give me a poke and I'll let you know, but please do not be a pest. I am a busy person on some days.

Let it also be known I am willing to deal with IC consequences so long as it's discussed between us muns! I love realism!!

However, if things are moving too fast for me and I can't keep up, I'll speak up and let you know and we can see if we can work something out. As much as I would want to be, I can't always be available.

Messaging will be for muses only for the most part, and less casual than Asks. I'll be more picky on OCs and outside fandom interaction with this, but not as much as I am on F2F. If you're unsure if you/your muse would be permitted to message Bbt, and/or you really really want to, please feel free to talk about it with me OOCly! I may be willing to make exceptions, but please do not force me into anything I'm not comfortable with.

Messaging will also be kept private, so more personal discussion is allowed if it's what your muse wishes to talk about. Nothing is really 'too much' for me, all I ask is at least a brief discussion about it before hand so I have a heads up and know what to prepare for, and to make sure I'm in a good state for me and Bbt to handle it.

These discussions can be very draining and also very important. I want to be able to take them very seriously and be completely focused, as well as an open communication between us muns for a better understanding.

And like I said, not a lot is 'too much' for me. Things like: rape, torture, abuse, self harm, suicide, and other triggers are subjects I've come into contact with before, and my muse has had some experience with.

However, if for some reason it DOES get overwhelming, or seems to be happening a little too frequently, I will speak up and we can discuss the issue. I don't really get upset easily, but I do get pretty tired/drained.

Make sure your 'OOC' is clear for me when messaging and you want us muns to talk, such as using brackets: (( )), [[ ]]. I encourage this greatly, especially on very important subjects and to make sure each of us is okay.

Face-2-Face

Rp will likely take place on discord/outside of tumblr, but I am definitely willing to make exceptions if you are comfortable with it.

I will be more selective on who Bbt interacts with. If I feel it conflicts too much with his character, plot, story, etc, then I may reject an Rp with them face-to-face. It's nothing personal with the mun or character, it's just easier on me, the mun.

Bbt has his own server on discord with his partner, Edgy, and Edgy's brother, Chompy, with a 'hidden shack' channel that he keeps his work in. This is one location that the Rp can take place in, but there are restrictions and rules to keep in mind.

The server IS a private server, and only used as a 'need-to-Rp' basis. What this means is an invite CAN be handed out, but once the Rp reaches it's conclusion, the invited guest(s) is/are kindly asked to leave. Don't worry, though! You won't be suddenly kicked, we'll talk before hand and I, or someone else present, will tell you goodbye, thank you for the Rp, and (hopefully), look forward to doing this again with you!

Not being allowed to stay isn't anything personal, please keep that in mind! But if we allowed everyone to stay who has been invited, the server would get very, very crowded and I am a mun who needs her space.

Being escorted out of the server also does not mean you aren't allowed to talk to me again. I would love for us to be able to stay in touch should your muse need to talk to mine again, and if we want to do any further plotting together!

Channels will be hidden from visitors save for the Hidden Shack and Grillby's Bar. If you would like our Rp kept private and unviewable by future guests, just let me know. I'm positive there's a feature on discord that does just this, but if it comes down to it, then I'll save the Rp somewhere else, and delete the history.

Other f2f Rp options can be Private messaging, or Bbt can do house calls. Which means your muse is more than welcome to invite him to their home instead or a setting they're more comfortable with. Even a public place will work, whatever your muse prefers!

If you do not want their Rp shared (the subject being too sensitive, suppose to be kept secret, etc) then just let me know. I won't share without discussing it with you first, but if you don't want the logs made public or handed out, tell me and I promise it'll be kept put away.

Other Notes:

Remember I am still a person, too, and not perfect

While I want to take this very seriously, please remember the difference between IC and OOC and don't stress yourself over this!

Don't ever be afraid to speak up! If you're having trouble with anything or have a concern, just let me know, okay..? I swear I'm an easy person to talk to, and I want to make sure you, the mun, are comfortable and okay.

Please also remember Bbt is also not perfect and has his own days.

And, most importantly of all, have FUN!
