Hey everyone. There is no easy way to say this after a lot of thinking and deliberation I’ve decided to shut down Monster Office.  I know I made promises that I didnt keep and honestly its because I didnt want to disappoint anyone but I also really didnt feel like continuing.  There are a few different reasons. The first being that I started monster office way back when I was in school and I just had a lot more time to focus on it. However even then I definitely bit off more than I could ever chew.

 Secondly this project just isnt what I wanted it to be. Im so happy many folks could make friends and share art and interact. However, time and time again whenever I tried to steer this in a certain direction things just always took a wonky turn somewhere. Lighthearted events and prompts would turn into serious dark situations and I honestly just could never keep up with what was going on. Especially the things I heard happening in the discord server were unsettling to say the least.

Thirdly, I’ve just kind of outgrown this. Monster Office was a way for me to explore my concept of dreamons and I think I’ve reached the point where I have learned all I can about them from this project and its just time for them to become part of my main original works. 

I held off on this because I didnt want to take away a community for you guys but I also dont think I have to do that. In a way you all have been the one to make the community and I feel like me pulling my ideas away from it wouldnt necessarily ruin things. After all at its core, Monster Office is just an office environment for monsters. And it can stay that way. There just wont be Dreamons, Mimics, REM, or Kaleidope tied to it. That doesnt mean that you all have to stop interacting with one another. Again you all made the community what it was and Im glad I could bring people together to make friends and I hope you all continue to make friends and have fun with characters and roleplaying with one another. If you are interested in keeping up with my works and asking my characters questions I have a worldbuilding blog @merriway where I talk about my original works and characters. I really appreciate everyone’s interest and time in this and Im sorry it didnt get further. Life really does pull us in all sorts of directions but while this project may be ending there will be many more things for all of us in the future, so please keep creating and being awesome.

(Cont.) I figure MO is kind of like a sort of episodic cartoon and seeing "The Monster Office" as the title (& super unique btw I love it) immediately makes me think of adventures where eps start off in a cubicle and then the boss might say something like someones getting fired and everyone's scrambling to do better than everyone else at their monster job or even sabotage others lol (dreams in this case). Anyways just really love your concept so thought I'd give a poke, forgive me if I'm off

I personally have never seen the Office but I have seen enough clips/gifs/mentions of it to know what its about and the general tone it has. I could definitely see some similarities drawn between the two because you’re right, MO really is more just episodic shenanigans of Dreamons trying to run a business.This is one thing I’m trying to fix with MO actually is that, its meant to be more silly than serious. The Dreamons (At least the Hueminn, Oranhamme and his kin) travel to worlds all over the universe trying to gain inspiration and experience. So the whole starting a business and running an office for them is nothing more than a whim. They’ve had enough experience through their travels to have a general gist of things but have never actually run a business with this many employees. They all decided to take charge of different aspects of a business in accordance with what suited them best but they’re still operating on what they think is a business, not what a business actually is. It all seems to function somehow but I think thats just the cartoony aspect I was going for.TL;DR: The Monster Office is very similar to a show like the Office where monsters from another world get into shenanigans every day while trying to run a so called business.

Name: Cherry Species: Ancient lava monster hiding in a robotic suit (because they have trouble regulating their own body heat) Small summary: An extremely shy creature wanting to bring others happiness through the sharing of flowers. They own a small flower shop were they make small arrangements to be delivered for birthdays, anniversaries, or if someone just wants to be nice and have some flowers sent to someone randomly. They even make flower crowns enchanted with a small amount of magic to help lift your spirits. The upstairs of the building is a small tea room for customers to relax in, drink some tea, have a muffin.  Cherry is a bit of a shizeshifter as well. Normally they stand at about 5′3″ (though it sometimes varies). When they get very nervous or anxious, they tend to shrink up and scurry off to hide somewhere, so don’t be alarmed if this happens.

Updated reference character sheet for Tix! Please click for better quality :> Tix are comfortable with not wearing clothes as she has enough fur to keep her warm. But she normally do wear t-shirts, tank-tops, light cardigans, shawls, tight shorts, skirts, finger rings, toe rings, fur accessories, tail accessories, band shirts and other band accessories.

Posting a bunch of sketchbook pages from the past month or so. Mostly notes and ideas for original characters including the Fabricians and Dreamons. Sketchbook is good for me to figure out anything from worldbuilding to body types.

As Nadia made her way out of the Yellow Department, she was met with confusion and fear as she was suddenly hit with several pieces of debris from the ceiling above. Thanks to her large hands, however, she was able to block off most of it before it made contact with her head, but she had a bit of damage done to her left arm. Nothing severe, but there was signs of bleeding.

“O-Oh I have to get out...” She muttered to herself as she tried to hurry to the entrance, holding onto her left arm. Hopefully she’d be able to run into someone who could help her....
