So That's What Theyre Called

OK GUYS SIT DOWN!!!!

I'm a bit of a language nerd, and something hit my realization while I was learning German.

So we know that Japanese has "chan" when you want to call someone cute or endearing right??

Apparently German has that too?? But it's with an 'e' and not an 'a'! It means something cute or small ahfjdkksks, like liebchen, hälochen, and so on.

(PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG OR IF I'M ACCIDENTALLY BUTCHERING YOUR LANGUAGE :") AM I DOING THIS CORRECTLY???)

Also the sprites and background are by Gatobob :)

Gato…how does one open this garment?

Cause you have a zipper over on the left, but it runs into a seam and won’t open the neckline. Then you got a little flap, which I assume isn’t covering anything and just for aesthetic. You can’t…you can’t open this shirt.

Not trying to critique btw!! I love men in nonsensical slutty clothes :)

Edit: Gato responded in the comments with a link tot he ref she used :D

God,, I've commissioned this from @/IsitAJ_ on tumblr and this turns out to be a MASTERPIECE *SOBS* it's everything I wanted. *chef kiss* Strade can mistreat me at any point of day and time :)

Full version is exclusively on Pillowfort :)

Strade belongs to @gatobob or @gurobob

Alright, I just made a playlist for Strade. :)

The playlist consists of German Metal bands, specifically the Neue Deutsche Härte (NDH)/Industrial Metal genre. The playlist doesn't have English songs or non-NDH bands in it, sorry!

I figured a lot of those music tend to fit Strade's vibe very well. I even have a headcanon myself that Strade probably likes to listen to some of these bands lmao.

So, I'd love to keep this playlist updated! Let me know if there any other bands or songs I should add in!

Strade and playlist cover are made by @gatobob.

YIPPEE COMMISSIONS WHATTTT IT'S ONLY BEEN A DAY

Yes hello I'm doing commissions and will be putting my art around just for you guys to see :3

don't forget about Kofi :3

So we got another update from Roblox Support!

A while ago, I've emailed them with this:

(I'm aware I've put the same sentence twice. I was.. tired and doing it all on my phone lol)

The Roblox games and groups in the transcript will NOT BE REVEALED. This is because I don't want to expose their usernames on Tumblr and have people going after them or stalking their Roblox profiles. The Roblox links will be shown as [LINKS REDACTED] instead.

Here's what I sent to them:

Roblox Support Ticket 74321950 Hello again! Thank you for your reply, I've attached links to information of the 18+ game and the experiences, and fan groups on Roblox. I hope that you may be able to do something about this. Here are the posts where the creator has repeatedly warned that her game is NOT suitable for younger audiences. -https://gatobob.tumblr.com/post/628262741099134976/patreon-faq-btdbtd2-tpof-etsy-merch -https://gatobob.tumblr.com/post/729810480719396864/im-not-comfortable-with-the-way-people-keep Information about the 18+ game and its' characters can be found here. -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Boyfriend_to_Death -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Boyfriend_To_Death_Wiki:Boyfriend_To_Death_Wiki -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Strade -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Ren_Hana -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Lawrence_Oleander Here are the experiences on Roblox that features the game made by fans who are possibly minors. Although these experiences do not feature sexual content, the source itself is from an 18+ game and the creator of the gameis very uncomfortable featuring her characters on Roblox experiences.

Here are the fan groups on Roblox featuring the BTD game or characters.

- [LINKS REDACTED]

I am also aware that there are also fan shirts being made on Roblox as well but it may be too many for me to link on this one message and I feel that I've listed a lot of links already. I would like to urge you and your team to take actions against these experiences and groups, and to respect the creator's wishes not to feature her characters onto Roblox. This can also be very concerning for parents as well. What if a young child were to stumble across one of these experiences on Roblox and decided to look up the source of the game? Please take serious actions for this. I wish to hear a reply soon or an update on this matter.

Thank you. - Casey

They got back to me, and this time it's Aria! Here's the screenshot of her reply.

Aria (Roblox) Sep 30, 2023, 6:22 AM PDT Hi Casey, Thank you for reaching out to us again and notifying us with your concern.

I've checked the games and groups as of the time I'm writing this and it's still up. I'm guessing that a process like this could take quite a bit of time, and I'm hoping that they'll be able to take it down ASAP or censor "Boyfriend to Death".

Roblox shouldn't let BTD (and even TPOF content) be passed through. It's a game full of young children, and who knows what the hell would happen if a parent were to discover their kid roleplaying from a character that's from a horrorporn game?

I'd urge any adult BTD fans here to email to Roblox support staff as well. Gato can't do this all by herself.

You don't NEED to create a Roblox account to send a message and open a ticket with them. Just enter your birthdate and you'll be able to send a message to them and do what I did in this example picture.

When you finally receive an email in your inbox, please describe the situation about minors using Gato's 18+ content to make fan games. You may also NEED to do some digging of BTD Roblox games (Games are called experiences on Roblox), groups, and BTD outfits on the avatar shop BY YOURSELF.

You can also ask around in Adult verified BTD Discord servers who may be familiar with Roblox and exchange links of the games and groups etc so that you can send these links to Roblox support. I cannot put the links in a public post here because I'd be exposing the creators of the groups and fan games.

I don't want their profiles to be stalked or harassed even though they are minors doing the wrong thing.

But yeah, if you have any doubts, please message me, and I'll try to reply if possible.

Please help to keep minors safe and away from 18+ content, especially on Roblox. Thank you!

I'm not comfortable with the way people keep posting my content in places absolutely filled with minors- or even places built specifically for minors.

I see people posting my content on Tiktok, ageless forums, AI chatbots, Discord games, even children's games like Pony Town and Roblox.

And then people come to me- asking why I'm not keeping minors out.

I'm a single human person, and I'm usually dog tired from working on game development. I didn't even know what half of these places were until I saw someone's fan content of my characters in them.

What I'm saying is:

Adults, could you help me out? Could you exercise a little common sense here? I have people asking me if they should buy my body pillows on etsy for their 14 year old sister because she saw your tiktoks.

I can't do this by myself.

me: talks.

me @ me: GOD YOUR SO FUCKING ANNOYING DO YOU EVER SHUT UP?! THIS IS WHY NO ONE FUCKING LIKES YOU!

The Sims (2000)

Y'ALL I WAS WRONG I FEEL EMBARRASSED MY GOD

(This is WHAT it's *more* likely to look like. Ik it's placeholder but still-SERIOUSLY SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED??)

HI I SPENT LIKE 5 HOURS ON EDITING AND COLORING IT :")

SO I had to use Gato's keychain merch as a reference for the shading and coloring, so I apologize if I fucked something up LMAO BUT YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M GENUINELY IMPRESSED!!! I figured if Gato was to remake the sprites for her new game, it would look a lot like this!

I was planning on editing different Strade's sprites like his emotions and the iconic hammer or drill pose for y'all to use it on your edits, but I'm already exhausted rn so enjoy for what it is rn LOL

Original sprite and character are from @gatobob
