Doll+Dollmaker: a 16+ relationship/relationship dynamic where one person is the "doll" and the other is the "dollmaker."

this is a subset of Object+Owner. this dynamic may include, but is not limited to:

the dollmaker being an introject/kin/alterhuman of a character who is a dollmaker, and the monster being an introject/kin/alterhuman of a doll they created or a character they made into a doll

the doll being a headmate based on a headmate inspo pack made by the dollmaker, or an introject of the dollmaker themself, and wanting their identity further shaped by them

the doll being a recovering r*dqueer and/or f*lt member and the creator giving them a safer outlet to express their desire to be influenced/changed/etc

the doll being dissobject, dissconnoballjointeddoll, dissodoll, etc

non-rose/tertiary attraction like experimental/subject/surgiment, sciencreatian, genisen, etc

the doll getting atypical euphoria from the idea of being someone's doll

the dollmaker "adding" things to the doll, whatever that may mean for the people involved

roleplaying that the dollmaker is dressing up the doll, acting this out in video games, or doing it however is possible in real life

nichelink coining

depending on what you do with this, this can be seen as a subset of Shaper+Molded.

these flags inspired mine somewhat: dissoballjointedoll, genderdollboy, infinitedoll

Maggot Plague Modern Part 2: FoulLurkers and a body reference.

Fan dragon jumpscare!

That’s right! I finally finished the ref sheet…for the male variant of this specie at least lol. What specie you say? Well, I named them FoulLurkers! (When I explain more about these guys, the name will make more sense)

First, the head looks a bit different than the one in the previous part. Well, I decided to change the head shape a bit because it was getting too complex and difficult to draw (specially from different angles) and there were some unnecessary details. So I decided to simplify it without getting too far from the original idea, so simpler horns and bigger teeth!

Second, about the body. As I said before, FoulLurkers are fat and wingless. I decided to go with this part of the concept since the main idea is for them to be based on maggots, so it would make more sense if they didn’t have wings and weren’t thin. But giving them a flat maggot body without anything else would make it look like I slapped a dragon’s face on a…maggot. The solution I found for this was to make the arms and legs more evident (as if the body was like a turtle shell) and adding these big spikes. Wait, why are there spikes?

This brings us to the next aspect of the design: how these guys hunt/fight. Flightrising doesn’t have the possibility of feeding our pretty and beautiful dragons rotten food, so I unfortunately had to make FoulLurkers carnivorous (meat only in this game), instead of necrophagous (animals that eat decayed dead animals). So these slow guys have to hunt the food themselves, instead of only eating the remains of other dragons’ food. However here’s the catch: the spikes, claws, and saliva of these dragons produce a powerful venom that on NON-SENTIENT Beastclan initially causes the affected area of their body to be in intense physical pain. However the area then starts to show a duller color and the blood flow on it starts to get harder. After some time, it starts to release a strange fluid with a strong putrid smell. (“This is basically necrosis-” yes but I don’t know if I can mention something like this in a game like flightrising so let’s call it the Foul Venom instead) This smell attracts FoulLurkers to the poisoned prey and since the Beastclan would be too weak to fight due to the amount of pain they would be feeling, the dragon is able to easily kill it. However this hunting method is only used if the FoulLurker’s prey escape initially but got harmed by them. Therefore the name FoulLurker: “Foul” relating to dead or putrid stuff and “Lurker” because of well…they go after things affected by their poison. (Another thing to specify: on other dragons and sentient Beastclans, the Foul Venom only causes the intense physical pain for an unknown reason).

And that’s it! Here’s most of the things about these guys! Next posts will be about sexual dimorphism and how Secondary and some Tertiary genes will work on these guys

I know I'm spotty as hell on tumblr but I don't have as much time for it as I once did. But for some reason I'm feeling introspective right now so I want to talk about my... Danganronpa phase. So many things about my Danganronpa phase irks me.

The Tofu obsession... I do like the idea of Togami and Fukawa together on a Basic level, but I never wanted to admit I was as into it as I was chiefly because I wanted to see content of my favorite characters interacting, especially in a more normal, free way that canon didn't really allow. I don't care about romance at all. It makes me feel nothing whether involving myself or others, real or fictional. Which brings me to...

the Togami obsession... don't wanna talk about that one in full detail as the full truth to it is very personal, but I will say the "husband" crap was an act. Cool, interesting character. Do I find him attractive? Like, in a tertiary attraction way. (As, reminder if you need it, I am aroace.) No. He is not even remotely my type. Would I even want to have a platonic relationship with someone like him? absolutely not. Mostly, I clinged to him because my other close friends had fictional crushes they obsessed over and I wanted to fit in.

And... I didn't even like DR's premise...? I didn't like the gameplay. I liked the characters and their banter. That's 100% it. That's why I wanted to make DRRPG. I wanted a game with the characters that I actually found fun with a kind of plot that I enjoyed more.

It was a weird 5 years of my life. (that I can't believe started almost 11 years ago)

(now why do I still have a DR url? idk I like it and idk what to change it to, all the cool urls are taken)

[pigswithwings]

hi! I have an objection posic question if that’s okay? im posic but idk how to tell if I’m objectum or not? as in are my feelings attraction or posic feelings. for starters I say I’m posic bc I love plushies and objects and I want to carry them around and think of them like companions and “worry” (not like too hard lol) about them being uncomfortable/hurt and I get attached to them and have hoarding issues/problems letting go of objects as well. So I think that makes me posic? BUT on the other hard idk if I can call myself objectum. I love the objectum community and I do see the appeal and I wantto be attracted to an object I want to be apart of that community. there’s this one fictional object i get excited about sometimes like “AAAAH THATS MY BABY/MY LOVE THATS MINE LOOK AT HIM GO” and it even feels wrong to use objects that aren’t him in game. I get almost flustered and happy about it… although it could be a hyperfix thing idk. I feel like I want to have a partnership not a relationship and can definitely be platonic with it not that I do rn but . idk. I guess these feelings are platonic attraction ? so does that make me objectum? Or is it not rlly attraction at all. confusion. I see objects as companions/“friends” or like they’re my child .. but not friends in the sense of irl friend I’m using it very loosely it’s. Different feeling than irl friends so maybe companion is a better word. I know posic people have companions but where’s the line between that and objectum feelings? Do u have any advice and experiences with this? am I just trying to be special ahhhh!!!

Hello, Anon! I definitely have similar experiences to you in these areas, so I'll try to advise you here. Figuring out attractions and labels can be incredibly complicated, and I don't blame you for wanting advice or guidance.

Side note  - please keep in mind that all of these are my subjective opinion: they might not accurately fit or describe you. The labels you do end up using only have to make you comfortable and happy. With that, let's get into what I would say for your situation.

First order of business: I think you might be POSIC! I believe that you strongly connect with the idea of objects being similar to people (ex: viewing them as companions) and it does seem like you view them as having feelings/emotions/thoughts, therefore making them sentient (ex: worrying about their comfort, health, and happiness). I would say that if you feel comfortable or want to use the labels POSIC / object sentience, go for it!

Secondly: Attraction is a bit more difficult for me to say, but I'll try my best. Definitely allow yourself some room to say "This isn't solidly defined and that's okay" or to continue questioning, because it's common for a person's attraction / their feelings towards their attraction to change or evolve over time.

Now to get into the meat of it. In any sense, I think you do have a deep affection towards the specific object you've mentioned; this could already put you into the objectum label if you wanted. Remember that being objectum is a loose label and that the general idea is attraction to objects or other nonliving things - having an affection (in your case, becoming flustered and happy because of an object, loving an object or calling an object your love, etc.) can often indicate an attraction.

Your companion / friend relationship towards  objects, plus feelings of wanting a possible partnership (I'm guessing that said relationship might also involve objects you've mentioned) can definitely tie into attraction as well. Similar to how people might experience tertiary or other forms of nonromantic / nonsexual attraction, platonic attraction is an equally valid form of being attracted to something.

My base answer would be generally this: You would be entirely valid to use the objectum label, I believe that it's definitely a possibility for you. However,  if the label doesn't feel comfortable or entirely right, you do not have to use it at all. Do what you want to, forever.

Additional Notes:

- About your question on the line between POSIC companions and objectum feelings: There is no clearly defined line! It's more of an overlap where the two communities meet, and there are so many people in that overlap that it can be hard to differentiate feelings. I would say this - you do not have to differentiate the two groups at all! POSIC and objectum identities can often be very closely linked; in your case I think this is also true. This means that you get to decide if you fall in either / both categories, and it gives you room to say "I may or may not be (this label), but I feel a connection to it".

- Connection and kinship often matter more than divison between groups, so I'd advise embracing both wholeheartedly regardless of whether you might use both labels. I would also reccomend reaching out to others in the community / looking for people with similar experiences to you, which can be very helpful in learning about different identities and yourself as well.

- You are not "just trying to be special". Don't worry about that. It can entirely be common for feelings of inadequacy to arise when a person's been questioning for a long time, but not knowing for sure doesn't make your identity fake. It's pretty hard to successfully fake feelings, and it's not as though you're gaining some malicious quality by using a certain label. You're just you. Keep being that.

- Labels are simply words and can be used however you want. From personal experience - I use both the terms POSIC and objectum for myself, but those don't elaborate on the finer details of my identity, such as the fact that I only view specific objects as having sentience or have an attraction that can change, similar to demisexuality. You, too, can contain multitudes.  It's possible to use a label to broadly describe your feelings while also having more detailed feelings simultaneously.

- Be cool and have fun! If this post doesn't help, don't stress yourself out. This is just the opinion of one person who isn't an expert in identity or POSIC/objectum communities. I hope this does help, though - thank you for reading.

Color Theory – The Science and Emotion of Hue-Man Design

You might think you “just like blue.” But your brain has been tricked by decades of color psychology, cultural cues, and carefully constructed marketing. And now, you’ll learn to use that trickery for good (and excellent design).

🌈 What Is Color Theory, Exactly?

At its core, color theory is the study of how colors interact—with each other and with our emotions. It's both art and science, helping you choose the right colors, combinations, and contrast to create meaning, mood, and magic.

Let’s crack open the color wheel.

🎡 Meet the Color Wheel

It all starts here, a circle of hues organized by relationships:

Primary Colors: Red, Blue, Yellow

Secondary Colors: Orange, Green, Purple (made by mixing primaries)

Tertiary Colors: Mix a primary with a neighboring secondary (e.g., red-orange)

This wheel isn’t just pretty. It’s your map to color harmony.

🎨 Color Schemes 101: The Greatest Hits

1. Monochromatic

One hue, many shades/tints

Clean, minimal, calming

Easy to balance but can feel flat

2. Analogous

Colors next to each other on the wheel (like blue, teal, green)

Smooth and natural

Great for cohesive vibes

3. Complementary

Opposites attract (like blue + orange, red + green)

High contrast, energetic

Use one as dominant, the other as accent

4. Split-Complementary

A safer version of complementary: base + two adjacent to its opposite

Balanced yet vibrant

5. Triadic

Three colors evenly spaced on the wheel (like red, yellow, blue)

Dynamic, bold, fun

Needs careful balance

🔥 Hue, Saturation, and Brightness (HSB)

Understanding these three helps you control how a color feels:

Hue: The actual color (red, green, purple, etc.)

Saturation: Intensity (vibrant vs. muted)

Brightness: Lightness or darkness of the color

Change one, and you can make the same color feel soft and elegant—or loud and rebellious.

🧠 Color Psychology: Colors Have Feelings Too

Colors can subliminally influence how people feel about a design. Here’s a cheat sheet:ColorFeels LikeCommon UsesRedPassion, urgency, powerSales, food, alertsBlueTrust, calm, professionalismTech, finance, healthYellowOptimism, energy, cautionWarnings, kids' productsGreenNature, growth, wealthEco brands, financePurpleLuxury, mystery, spiritualityBeauty, high-end productsBlackElegance, power, mysteryFashion, luxuryWhitePurity, minimalism, cleanlinessHealth, design portfolios

🚨 Warning: Color meaning varies culturally. In Western cultures, white = purity. In others, it might be associated with mourning.

🧪 Contrast & Accessibility

Good color design isn’t just about beauty—it’s about function. Poor contrast can make text unreadable or alienate people with visual impairments.

Use high contrast between text and background

Tools like WebAIM Contrast Checker help verify if your combos pass WCAG accessibility standards

Rule of thumb: If your grandma can’t read it comfortably on a dim phone screen, rethink it.

🔧 Color in Action

Here’s how color shows up across design:

Logos: Should work in color and black/white

Websites: Use color for navigation, hierarchy, and emotion

Posters: Bold combos for grabbing attention fast

UI/UX: Use color to guide users and communicate feedback (e.g., red = error)

💡 Pro tip: Use color intentionally—not just because it looks cool. Every hue should serve a purpose.

🧠 Unique Fact of the Day

Blue was once considered evil in Ancient Rome. It was associated with barbarian tribes and frowned upon in elite circles. Fast forward a few centuries: now it’s the most trusted color in branding—used by Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, and every bank ever.

Also, Crayola has retired colors. Like “Dandelion” (RIP 2017), which had a good run before being booted for “Bluetiful.” Branding is serious business, even in crayon land.

🛠️ Tools to Help Your Color Game

Coolors.co – Instant palette generator

Adobe Color – Advanced harmonies with visual examples

Khroma – AI-based palette suggestions

Color Hunt – Curated trendy palettes

🚀 Today’s Challenge: Make a 3-Color Palette

Pick:

A dominant color – Your brand’s hero

A secondary color – To support or contrast

An accent color – For highlights or CTAs

Build a poster, a UI mockup, or just a sample layout with them. Then squint. If your eyeballs are still comfortable, you’re on the right path.

There's a form of attraction called "idyllic attraction" https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Idyllic_Attraction describing basically what the cupio- orientation https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Cupioromantic means. It makes no sense to me for it to be called "idyllic" when idyllic means "peaceful, happiness". Can't the attraction above be called "cupio attraction" or "cupisco"?

(Cupisco: from cupio (latin: "to desire, to long for") + sco (latin: "to start, to begin" or spanish "large rock, boulder")

Cupio/Cupisco Attraction is a form of attraction in which one desires, fantasizes about, or wishing they were attracted to a certain gender despite not being attracted to that gender in real life. This also includes wishing or fantasizing about being attracted to a gender in a different way than one is in really life. (For example: fantasizing about being romantically attracted to a given gender despite only feeling platonic attraction to that gender in real life.) This may or may not overlap with one being buenosexual.

Cupisco attraction can be similar to cupiorose and/or electio aroace. However it is different from electio-aroace because someone can feel cupisco attraction while still feeling other forms of tertiary attraction. It's also different from cupiorose because cupisco attraction says nothing about one's real life actions or desires. One may or may not want to act on their cupisco attraction. Someone with cupisco attraction may fantasize about feeling a certain attraction, but recognizes that they do not want or can never have that sort of relationship in real life.

Cupisco attraction can be combined with any other relevant sexuality terms. As an example, an aroace individual who fantasizes about being attracted to men and women could be bi-cupisco.

***

Whereas idyllic attraction could be:

A type of emotional attraction where an individual is attracted to someone who's peace-loving or puts others in a peaceful atmosphere, whether that's intentional or not. Being around them makes one happy and calm. This may or may not change into a deeper form of attraction, potentially into a domestic attraction or any other form, where you'd want to spend your rest of your life with that person.

Or it can be an attraction to someone whom you want to share a life with as found in idle/lifesim/iyashikei games, such as Animal Crossing. The person one is attracted to does not have to be peace-loving, but one still desires to have that life with them. Perhaps, if their idyllic crush is toxic or fights a lot, the individual attracted to them may hope they can change their nature with the idyllic lifestyle.

A lifestyle that can often be found in the endings of war stories. "The fight is over, the world is peaceful, and it's only us now." (Like in HG Mockingjay 2, for example.)

An idyllic crush can be called idyl.

Anyone can feel this type of attraction, regardless of their orientation. If you don't, you may be anidyllic (on the anattractional spectrum).

Can overlap with adornic attraction. 

***

Mephistophelian attraction:

The opposite of idyllic attraction.

Similar to the type of relationship partners in crime have. One may desire this type of relationship. 

The individual may or may not want to actually be a criminal, they simply desire that type of relationship, that type of loyalty and closeness, knowing you can count on each other, without it being romantic/sexual or even platonic/friendly. (Although the attraction can shift into something more or mix with other attraction types. For example, ductuaffectian or fidelis attraction may be the base of mephistophelian attraction.)

This attraction may also happen when crushing on a criminal – they make being criminal look like something that is euphoric in the moment, a certain closeness/"brotherhood" gangs have (can fall into amical attraction) that one may not find anywhere else. One who shares a goal with someone else, wanting to make that happen and doing whatever it takes.

On some part spectrum, criminals are often able to make a change in the world, when peaceful protests do no difference. Depending on the perspective, it can be heroic, as nothing is black and white, not even the devil. The difference to heroes, is that villains are ruthless in their goal, but usually get things quicker done. Mephistophelian attraction would perhaps be something what the sidekick of (and toward) the villain feels.

Or one desires to "bring hell on earth", but doesn't want to do it alone. 

If you want to create flags for these, be my guest. Anyone’s free to use these terms if they resonate with you.

The Future of DSCR Loans: Trends and Predictions for Real Estate Financing

The real estate financing landscape is changing, and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are taking center stage. Investors seeking flexible and income-based financing options are turning to DSCR loans, making them a game-changer in the world of real estate investment.

But what does the future hold for DSCR loans? With evolving market conditions, economic shifts, and technological advancements, understanding the trends shaping DSCR loans is essential for investors who want to stay ahead.

In this blog, we’ll explore the emerging trends, future predictions, and what savvy real estate investors need to know about the future of DSCR loans.

Why Are DSCR Loans Booming in Today’s Market?

Before we jump into the future, let’s recap why DSCR loans have surged in popularity:

No Income Documentation Required: Unlike traditional mortgages, DSCR loans rely on property cash flow, not personal income.

Ideal for Self-Employed and Real Estate Investors: DSCR loans eliminate the hurdles of proving income for those with non-traditional or variable income streams.

Focus on Investment Property Performance: If the property generates enough rental income to cover the loan payments, you’re in good shape.

With this growing flexibility, DSCR loans have become a go-to solution for investors looking to scale their portfolios without the red tape of conventional financing.

Key Trends Shaping the Future of DSCR Loans

1. Rising Demand for Flexible Real Estate Financing

The modern investor isn’t just focused on local opportunities—they’re looking to diversify across multiple markets. As interest in short-term rentals, multifamily units, and long-term cash-flow properties grows, DSCR loans will evolve to cater to these unique needs.

Prediction: Expect DSCR loans to become even more tailored, with programs specific to short-term rentals (like Airbnb or VRBO properties) and niche asset classes.

2. Technology Driving Faster Loan Approvals

Fintech is revolutionizing the real estate lending process. Lenders are integrating AI and automated underwriting systems to analyze property cash flows, tenant performance, and market conditions in minutes.

This not only reduces approval time but also improves accuracy. Investors can expect a faster, smoother DSCR loan approval process in the near future.

What to Watch: Keep an eye on lenders that embrace technology to streamline loan applications and approvals.

3. Interest Rate Trends and Their Impact

While interest rates have fluctuated recently, DSCR loans remain attractive because they’re interest-rate resilient. As long as a property cash flows well, DSCR lenders prioritize the property’s performance over the borrower’s income.

In 2024 and beyond, as interest rates stabilize or decline, the demand for DSCR loans could spike even further.

Tip for Investors: Look for fixed-rate DSCR loan options to lock in favorable terms for the long term.

4. Growing Popularity of Short-Term Rentals

The short-term rental (STR) market is booming, with platforms like Airbnb driving demand. DSCR lenders are now recognizing STR income in their underwriting process, enabling investors to tap into higher cash flows.

Future Outlook: More DSCR loan products will focus on short-term rentals, with custom terms and considerations for STR properties.

5. Expansion into Niche Markets

Real estate investment opportunities are no longer limited to major urban centers. Secondary and tertiary markets are seeing rapid growth, and DSCR loans are following investors into these emerging markets.

What This Means for Investors: With more flexible underwriting and creative financing options, DSCR loans will make it easier to secure properties in smaller, high-potential markets.

Predictions: The Future of DSCR Loans for Real Estate Investors

Here’s what we predict for the next 3–5 years in the world of DSCR loans:

Increased Customization: DSCR lenders will offer more tailored products based on property types, rental income structures, and borrower goals.

Wider Accessibility: Expect DSCR loans to become even more accessible for new investors with smaller portfolios.

Focus on Cash Flow Analysis: Future underwriting will rely heavily on AI-driven property cash flow predictions to minimize risk for lenders.

Integration with Tech Platforms: Investors will see tools that connect rental management software (like Guesty or RentRedi) directly with DSCR lenders for real-time income verification.

Expansion of Loan Limits and Terms: As investor demand increases, lenders will likely raise loan amounts and extend terms to accommodate larger-scale projects.

How Investors Can Prepare for the Future of DSCR Loans?

Here are a few actionable tips to take advantage of the evolving DSCR loan market:

Stay Educated: Keep up with lender updates and explore new DSCR loan products that cater to niche markets.

Focus on Cash Flow: Invest in properties with strong rental income potential to easily meet DSCR loan requirements.

Build Relationships with Lenders: Partner with DSCR lenders who understand your investment strategy and offer flexible terms.

Leverage Technology: Use tools to manage rental properties, project future income, and streamline the loan application process.

Conclusion: Why DSCR Loans Are the Future of Real Estate Financing?

DSCR loans are revolutionizing real estate financing, making it easier for investors to grow their portfolios without the hassle of income documentation. With advancements in technology, tailored loan products, and the growing demand for cash flow-focused financing, the future of DSCR loans looks bright.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions and stay ahead of the curve.

Are you ready to explore DSCR loan options that match your real estate investment goals? At Boathouse Commercial Funding Group, we’re here to help you navigate the ever-changing landscape of real estate financing.

Primary Colors: Red, blue, and yellow are the basic colors from which all other colors are derived.

Secondary Colors: Primary colors mixed to form green, orange, and purple.

Tertiary Colors: Colors formed by mixing primary and secondary colors.

Color Wheel Basics

The color wheel is a visual tool that illustrates the relationships between colors. It helps in identifying harmonious color combinations and understanding the dynamics of color interactions.

Warm vs. Cool Colors

Warm Colors: Include red, orange, and yellow. Warmth and vitality are evoked by these hues.

Cool Colors: Include blue, green, and purple. The colors above belong to serenity and tranquility.

The Psychology of Color

Emotional Impact of Colors

Colors have a profound psychological impact on users. Different colors can evoke different emotions:

Red: Passion, excitement, and urgency.

Blue: Trust, calmness, and stability.

Green: Growth, health, and tranquility.

Yellow: Happiness, energy, and caution.

Purple: Luxury, creativity, and wisdom.

Orange: Enthusiasm, warmth, and attention.

Cultural Significance of Colors

Colors can have different meanings in different cultures. For instance, while white represents purity in Western cultures, it can signify mourning in some Eastern cultures. Understanding these cultural nuances is crucial when choosing colors for a global audience.

Colors and Brand Identity

Colors are integral to brand identity. Iconic brands are often recognized by their signature colors. For example, Coca-Cola's red and McDonald's yellow are instantly recognizable. Choosing the right colors can help reinforce your brand's identity and values.

Defining Your App’s Purpose and Audience

Identifying App Functionality

The functionality of your app plays a significant role in color selection. For instance, a financial app might use colors that evoke trust and stability, such as blue and green, while a gaming app might use vibrant and energetic colors like red and orange.

Take into account the target audience's age, gender, and cultural background. Younger users might prefer bold and bright colors, while older users might appreciate more subdued tones.

Aligning Colors with User Expectations

Your color choices should align with user expectations. For example, users might expect a health and wellness app to use calming colors like green and blue.

Color Harmony and Schemes

Monochromatic Schemes

Changes in the saturation and brightness of a single hue are used in a monochromatic color scheme. This results in a stylish and unified look.

Analogous Schemes

An analogous color scheme consists of colors that are close to one another on the color wheel.This results in a unified and attractive appearance.

Complementary Schemes

Colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel are used in complementary color schemes. This produces a look that is lively and active.

Triadic and Tetradic Schemes

Triadic Schemes: Utilize three hues that are equally distributed throughout the color wheel.

Tetradic Schemes: Make use of two complimentary pairs of four colors.

Accessibility and Usability

Importance of Contrast

High contrast between text and background improves readability and accessibility. Ensuring that your app's content is easily readable by users with visual impairments is crucial.

Color Blindness Considerations

Use tools to simulate color blindness and ensure your app is accessible to users with color vision deficiencies. This can help avoid using color combinations that are indistinguishable to color-blind users.

Ensuring Readability

Readability should be a priority. Avoid placing text over complex images or backgrounds, and ensure there is enough contrast between text and background colors.

Current Design Trends

Flat Design

Bright colors and basic, two-dimensional objects are used in flat design.It emphasizes minimalism and usability.

Material Design

Material design, developed by Google, uses shadows and depth to create a more realistic and intuitive interface.

Dark Mode

Dark mode uses dark colors for the background and lighter colors for text. On OLED screens, it lessens eye strain and conserves battery life.

Ignoring Brand Consistency

Ensure your app's colors are consistent with your overall brand identity. Inconsistency can confuse users and weaken your brand image.

Neglecting User Preferences

Always consider user preferences and test your color choices with real users. This helps ensure that your color palette resonates with your audience.

Practical Tips for Implementation

Creating a Style Guide

A style guide ensures consistency across different parts of the app and helps maintain a cohesive design.

Consistency Across Devices

Ensure your colors look good on different devices and screen sizes. This consistency enhances the user experience.

Puppet+Puppeteer: a 16+ nichelink relationship/relationship dynamic where one person is the "puppet" and the other is the "puppeteer."

"puppeteer" can be changed to "puppetmaster" "handler" or any fitting term, and so can "puppet" to "whumpee" or any term that fits the people in the relationship.

this may include, but is not limited to:

the puppet being an introject/kin/alterhuman of a character who was puppet-ed by another/had their autonomy taken away

the puppeteer being an introject/kin/alterhuman of a character who can take control of others somehow, or being dissoimmoral/dissogreymoral, etc

the puppet being desirharmed, desirprogrammed, desirmanipulated, desirvictim, desirindoctrinated, dissobject, dissomicontrolled, puppet whumpee archetrope, etc etc

the puppet being a recovering r*dqueer/f*lt member and the puppeteer helping them express their desire to be "an object" and "unable to think on their own" in a risk-aware and safer way, and/or helping push them towards healing

roleplaying that the puppeteer is controlling the puppet, or playing this out in video games

non-rose/tertiary attraction like horror, andlppet, egocidal, virtudinal, etc

these flags somewhat inspired mine: puppet's show, animarionique

Toy+Owner: a 16+ relationship/relationship dynamic where one person is the "toy" and the other is the "owner."

this is a subset of Object+Owner, and i guess Doll+Owner must be a subset of this. this dynamic may include, but is not limited to:

the toy being an introject/kin/alterhuman of a character who is a toy/objlect

the toy being a headmate based on a headmate inspo pack made by the dollmaker, or an introject of the dollmaker themself, and wanting their identity further shaped by them

the toy being a recovering r*dqueer and/or f*lt member and the creator giving them a safer outlet to express their desire to be influenced/changed/owned/etc

the toy being dissconnoballjointeddoll, dissoplushie etc

non-rose/tertiary attraction like performer, etc

the toy getting atypical euphoria from the idea of being someone's toy instead of their friend

roleplaying that the owner is dressing up the toy, acting this out in video games, or doing it however is possible in real life

the toy wishing to belong to a specific person and make them happy, for any reason really

depending on what you do with this, this can be seen as a subset of Shaper+Molded.

the flag is supposed to have bright, child-ish colors.
