News affects all species

Hey, I'm sorry if this sounds alarming, but I have to take a soft hiatus, in general - I'm going to be on social media and discord less while I do this. The thing is, by soft hiatus I mean soft, I'll be checking in and doing rolls, and I kind of hope that being on social media less will actually give me more time for rolls, so calling it a hiatus might sound weird. I'll just be less personally available is the thing, but I'll be around. I'm really sorry for the trouble.

PRIDE IS BEING LEFT OPEN UNTIL THE HIATUS IS OVER BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE TRYING TO CALCULATE THE END DATES TO MATCH EACH OTHER. I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW WHEN I'M COMING BACK SO YOU KNOW IT'S CLOSING UP SOON OKAY

there's a plan to move off-season pride to the prompt library because Pride All Year was way too fitting to not keep as a real thing after it accidentally happened. anyways

Possible questions that might come up:

• Did something happen?

yes and i really don't want to get into it but the tl;dr is i'm pulling back because i need my friends not to be harassed because of stupid drama that doesn't involve them. i'm not doing that.
if someone bothers you please let me know so i can send that IP to the shadow realm too.

• When are you coming off hiatus?

couple of weeks probably i'm just catching up and chilling.

• I think I found your... vacation account... 👀

i wasn't very subtle with it but like maybe don't post it publicly all the same. you can dm me about it if you want??? :V i'm trying to keep it low on people so i might say no and just no offense i am just trying to be chill.

I'll be around, sorry if I'm not around immediately to answer something, but I'll be here, okay? Take care.

No Fireworks Mechanix this year, sorry, it isn't a funny joke.

Since the fireworks mechanix is for Meningitis Survival Day, (which is to say, I got viral meningitis on July 4th 11 years ago now and I guess I might be still alive depending on your definition?) all users can take a second claim of the free first aid kit as a small thing. If you send in a claim and it's noticed on the lorekeeper you haven't put in one before, you'll get 2. The end date on newbies getting 2 is err, when I start forgetting to put it as two myself. I'll be putting it as 2 without it being mentioned for as long as I can remember.

Anareizh is also free for the entire month of July rather than just once.
I will put this on his shrine later today - I just noticed that the eggs are still up and I really thought I took those down, I apologize!

Listen, I know that this is an alternate version of a usual yearly thing to be a bit less silly about it but be safe, all. We care about you here.

Summer Changelog

• LIKE WINTER, We do not have a starter or new genes this rollover. Sorry! We are chilling for a bit.
• A quick note on the event prompts: The Wave Rider and Beat the Heat event are copied from the original Summer 2018 Festival. This was to stay on theme with the Winter event.
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over. ..............mymbig (: hehe. In all seriousness, I hope this is interesting enough Couloir/Chasm lore for a bit. There is a Pride skin on the companions page for the Mumbler, and the Watcher got its Green Man and Jack Frost skins!

Bonus Changelog (multispecies)

• Pride has been extended two weeks because I said I might in the discord, so you can have it. (:
• B-NOMALY tokens have been massively increased! Most things were doubled, a couple of bonuses were tripled or more, gift art and commissions were combined and upped to 100 for both artist and recipient. One of the examples in token calc was doubled from 25 to 50 as a result, one of them went from 65 to 285.
• You can resubmit ANY AND ALL B-NOMALY ART to token calculation due to this change. You do not have to have the original calculation refunded.
• Tokens are now going to be calculated WITH prompt submission instead of submitting them separately, for speed. Sorry for making this a hassle before, genuinely.
• There's now a Toyhou.se for Chasmhome. This isn't intended to replace prompts here in any way, just to hold characters if desired! I'm working on getting NPCs up on my page, please feel free to put any art including them under their profile if you want to, it's optional but perfectly fine!
• There's a Bluesky presence as well, when I remember I have that. (:

THERE IS NO NORMAL WAY TO SAY THIS BUT UH
ROLLOVER FOR EVERYTHING ON THE SHOP AND PROMPTS WHEN I GET BACK FROM THE DOCTOR TO MAKE SURE MY SHOULDER IS IN PLACE. BECAUSE IT ISN'T. LOL. BRB (:
EDIT: BACK I HAVE TENDONITIS IN MY NON-DOMINANT ARM WOOOO
Everything should be rolled over, if you see something mentioning a season that's not Summer let me know!

Happy Forever PRide, I Forgot To Turn Off PRide Month Last Year

yall i'm laughing, i swear i thought i turned it off in fall after waiting for stragglers to have some time but apparently i just never did... this feels fitting lorewise. why would roy know when to stop celebrating. they don't wanna

ANYWAYS

Roy's "back", it's June, time to love yourself and everybody else (tell your friends?) It's Pride Month!

Pride Blends will be rarely showing up in any loot-dropping activities all month! And, of course, we have events!

The usual group collab is listed on the Hub, as is the link to the Lounge!

If you need to be anonymous for any reason (eg harassment) and can't submit normally but still want credit and goods, please feel free to DM an admin. We can figure something out for you. This hasn't been an issue in recent years as far as we've heard from members, but we still want you to know that it's absolutely fine to do.

The Hub has been archived and the collabs are preserved:
Internet Archive
Archive Today

As an unofficial event, please feel free to contact Anarchie over Discord if you want to be part of an extra, more cathartic collab, if that would be something that's useful to you. This is not replacing the main event because we wanted to still give people a space to step away from drama and celebrate, BUT it will give out EXP/tokens in the same style if done.

Anarchie currently has suggested the prompts of "a march or demonstration" or "starting a punk rock band" for this, and is taking suggestions.

Small notes (upcoming changes):

• Ketixi/KETU-NOMALY design approvals are being fixed up for relaunch and are almost done! (The final draft is in talks but I might need to fix up something, full transparency.) Thank you for your patience and I'm sorry for the trouble! Anything that got stuck in design approval will be grabbed!
• B-NOM tokens are getting retouched soon to be a bit easier to work with so maybe wait a moment before putting art in for tokens! (: Rixixi EXP may get touched up slightly as well, but Training Mode has already been fixed up, so that will get altered the least.
• Several little tweaks to existing genes - nothing that would change the legality of existing imports, just know that several suggestions were written down and are likely to be implemented as soon as I sketch up an example. (:
• Aex-specific prompts, I've been meaning to write these down, oh my goodness.

Happy (infinite) pride and don't forget to be you! Rock on.

Important notice for the people who keep going into faery circles (get out of there???)

Hello! By request, Chasm Fae have been separated as their own thing from iiixkitsunexiii and pawstepsinthesnow 's Awakened fae! The current Chasm Fae information is HERE!  You should probably check it out if you have a Chasm Fae or have interest in the lore - the lore is the thing that changed the most, along with not having the wing requirements that were very specific to Awakened! Everything else is more subtle, as both species have a large amount of variety to them.
As usual, do not bother anyone about this, this was a fully willing split on both ends and it was pretty fun to add a mycelial network to everything. We are keeping Chasm Fae chasm-relevant with admin departure and not using someone else's thing.

Chasm Fae made with Fairy Circles going forward, or just made as the open species, should be made with the current lore, as Awakened are somebody else's thing that isn't Chasm-relevant! Thanks for understanding!

If you already have an Awakened fae made before 2025, you CAN keep them the same and keep them as an Awakened, grandfathered in. (Officially ruled as such by Kitsu and Sian.) You can also keep your fae the same and move them to Chasm Fae lore if the design would fit with very little tinkering or no tinkering (see above note about this being most heavily a lore change). However, if you want to change your Fae's design due to the update, you can do that for free by commenting on this news post with the fullsize image of the Chasm Fae form. If you want to update the Rixixi/B-NOMALY/Aex form with it, you can go ahead and link that as well.
Updated Fae must be Chasm Fae and not Awakened!

Other small changes to Chasm Fae that might not be noticed right away:

• It's spelled Fairy Circle in this version, for genuinely no reason other than I habitually spell it that way and want to make less typos... (:
• Aexent can have a Fairy Circle applied. Why? I don't know,  just, you can do that now.
• Probably easier noticed but just in case, the list of Tell traits was changed up a bit!
• And on the contrary, literally no one would notice this but me, but in the images section, the notes are formatted as "Fairy Circle: [myth source]" in place of "Faery Circle: Chasm Fae", and if I don't know the myth source it'll probably just be Chasm Fae.

...You can also ask for Just The Spelling/Formatting to be updated and nothing else, if literally anyone but me cares about that (hehe), because I only changed the format on the starters and on Magpie. Note that the formatting update is meant to be an indicator that it's a Chasm Fae so like maybe don't do that on an Awakened it might not make sense?

Okay, thanks for reading this! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and hopefully I have the answer ready!

Happy Aprilween

HUB HERE

We're still picking up from hiatus, so I hope you don't mind that this April is pretty chill! It's still got the scavenger hunt (already up! you may have seen an egg) and the usual bonus prompts that are annual, but other than that there's just a raffle commemmorating some of the releases from previous years!

To enter, you can select a raffle ticket for Mumbling Heights (left) or Do Androids Dream Of Astroturf Mechanix (right) on ANY egg claim. One raffle ticket per claim, but you can claim up to 8 tickets per person - you can dump all your tickets into one Ixi/Mechanix or split them up, whichever you want! There's a bit more details on the hub on their items.

And speaking of cleaning up from hiatus, changelog:

• There is now a Temporary Design Approval Page, for genos not ported to MYOs yet. It's limited to 1/day currently, so that I can continue porting the genos to MYOs once I finish spring cleaning. I am just so tired of having that on hold but it was on hold so that the queue wouldn't go wild, so I hope you don't mind the limit for now! Thanks!
• Item Use prompt moved to site because uh I may have been intending to do that for ages now lol
• Rixixi and B-NOMALIES are officially marked as Semi-Open on their info pages, and the Chasm-Connected Bestiary, which I swear I fixed the images on before and I guess I have to do again? oh boy. Aexent were already marked as Semi-Open but their page now makes it clearer that it's about the masterlist. As for Ixi and B-NOMS, you can make them as characters, you just need a geno/MYO for actual gameplay. I've been fine with this for a long time and said as such, I'm just making it official.
  KETIXI AND K-NOMS ARE STILL CLOSED DUE TO HYBRIDIZATION SORRY. IF I GET MORE SPECIFIC RULES FROM MOON I'LL PUT 'EM ON THE KETIXI PAGE.
• Training Mode EXP was doubled or tripled across the board. Rixixi as an ARPG is meant to reward both activities and random drawings and meanwhile I've had extreme burnout due to only doing activities in ARPGs for years, and trying to get to the point where I could get one out a day. look just have fun ok. is only game.
  "doesnt this wildly overpower roothornes" yes. it's fine. you still have to do story modes i'm not removing that, i just intend to add more options for it to make it more fun.
• Kellas Cat Gifting Service also doubled (currency only)
• Rad Sickness moved to site which means i FINALLY REMEMBERED TO POST THE INVERTED RAD SICKNESS FOR HORSEMAN HOST IM SORRY. I JUST KIND OF DIDNT KNOW WHERE TO PUT THAT UNTIL I MOVED IT IM SO SORRY LOL
• Also this was a couple days ago but the Fridge Werewolf reference was mirrored to other sites, if you need the non-dA links. TUMBLR | BLUESKY | WEASYL | FURAFFINITY

PROBABLY DOING THIS TOMORROW

• i literally said i was doing the rolls today and spent too much time cleaning up things that i meant to do ages ago omg i'm so sorry. i'm on it asap.
• I was ALSO meaning to update Chasm Fae lore before I forget again today but uh, as you can see, all these things happened too, so that's coming very soon I swear

COMING SOON

• 3

no one would... no one would get that joke it's literally a joke my dad made and no one would get that. it's 4 AM, i forgot what i meant to type there, and i finished the sentence as coming soon: 3. i'm leaving my shame.

i need to go and rest lol. see you tomorrow.

changelog

"wait uh anarchie where have you been"

changelog explaining that

• Veluchasm on pause due to no longer having matching admins with Ketucari. In talks with Ketucari admins on how to make things work as things stand, but events are on hold at current, and what we are working on is making uploads and activities still functional in the meantime. I'm really sorry for the delay.
• Please do not bother any previous Chasmhome + Ketucari admins about this. This is not intended as public drama for entertainment. The reason this news was so delayed going up from the discord version was I was not sure how to phrase it, and I'm sorry for that.
• Site has been successfully transferred between staff. There may be delays due to figuring out code. Please let me know if there's an issue!
• APIs used to attach chasmhome logins to other sites have been updated. If there's any bugs with that, please let us know, I probably just copied the code wrong.
• Twitter is no longer a link used on Chasmhome due to possible security and general Twitter issues. Sorry if you were using it, I was told no one used it as a primary so I hope that was correct?
• Pride is on the Wayback Machine, successfully!
• Most of the masterlist is on the Wayback machine and this will be retouched after upload sessions if possible.

upcoming

• Literally going into the queue within the next few days now that the site status is confirmed stable. Sorry that I didn't before. Site was uh. Somewhere. Wasn't sure how somewhere.
• Working on writing the story for the event. Might not have the staff for an event right now but I at least want the story written??
• Figuring out how to reopen design approvals in a manageable way while still uploading genos to the site. Tired of having them closed. Might just make a temp page to drop things off at with a reasonable limit to not cause psychic damage. Feel free to leave feedback on that here.
• Genuinely might make Rixixi and B-NOMALIES semi-open, allowing them to be open outside of the game setting and requiring a geno/MYO to play the game. This is mostly due to me keeping having medical issues. I mean if I'm going to be unavailable a lot I should still let people play with them. It's under consideration. Again, feel free to leave feedback.

Sorry for the delay and for not sending the news sooner, uh, site transfer, needed to learn how to use things, also needed to figure out how to phrase that. The site works so I am confirmed here. Genuinely really sorry about that and I'll see you soon, yeah?

(bursts in the door with 5 doctors attached to me) yeah well you should see the other guy

Multispecies News: SORRY FOR THE IMPROMPTU HIATUS? I'M BACK

Hey all! I know I said I was back from medical before. Turns out that it's apparently really hip and cool to be incapacitated by chronic pain?
(turns to someone behind me who is shaking their head.)
Update, it is apparently not hip and cool and I really goofed it this time.

I finally got my pain meds I'm back now.

Will you be rolling things

oh my god yes i'm starting a little later so i can finish what i'm doing now but yes

What happens when you inevitably need pain meds again

I do not control the rate at which lobsters die

No but seriously I'm going to at least try to be more communicative of this if I can't get myself or anyone else on top of things because I really was not this time and I'm very sorry.

So what actually happened because that was like 2-3 months

genuinely if you want to know you can dm me on discord because i feel weird putting it here but i will answer if someone wants that for like, either concern reasons or open communication reasons. the tl;dr is "several things and some repeating things" :V

so what's uh

PRIDE IMAGE IS UP

yall it's november i'm so sorry everything happens so much. thank you for bearing with me. it's finally up though

one more thing

A friend and I were playing Earthbound together during all of this and I noticed a quote.

What a great photograph! It will always bring back the fondest of memories.

The Fond Memories items were originally meant to be photos taken to commemmorate a visit to a location. I did not know about this quote, this was my first Earthbound run. So uh.

Everyone gets a Fond Memories: Earth.

literally everyone active on the site except the spambots. i might accidentally send one to a spambot. say fuzzy pickles.

OKAY I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT.

See you soon for real.
