Hi! Last announcement for a bit, but here's a little art challenge for the month of November to keep everyone busy while we're slower on the staff end. This is just for fun and doesn't give you any rewards outside of standard Art Redemption. Regardless, enjoy!

Happy Halloween everyone! On this special day, we bring to you the winners of our DTE raffles!

Tootsie Pop Werelynx was won by Fizzyforever!!

Fruit Chew Frankenstein was won by grivione!!

Here are some wonderful entries by our winners!

And some huge shoutouts from tfb and I to other awesome pieces we loved!

  

(Note, Some of these were entries past the due date, but if you haven't already done so, they may be reuploaded for regular rewards. So, so sorry again to everyone who missed it!)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and congratulations to the winners!! This was a lot of fun, and we hope to continue to bring more like this in the future.

• Navbar updated, not completely set on it and open to further feedback
  • Note: The paw print dividers are intended to be clearly distinguishing from interactable text eventually, but this needs to be per-theme which will take a bit.

• Mobile fixes for character sorting, UI for the page adjusted
  
  
• Homepage updated to hopefully no longer be itty bitty… whoops!
  
  
• Pound information can be chosen to be toggled on or off in your settings, this will be added for the trait guide summaries too eventually.
  
  
• FAQ page updated
  
  
• Bank, character sorting page able to be typed in to search now

For any concerned parties, protections from the recent PHP vulnerabilities were put in place from the start by our host and we are now on the latest fix. Nothing malicous nor concerning was found through scans.

Still working on everything that is popular and feasible from the feedback form, thank you very much to everyone who filled it out! Unfortunately the capabilities are limited, I did not create the site's framework and overhauling the amount of steps or pages something takes is not simple, I can mostly only make the steps quicker. I also can't implement other site's custom code or code for Lorekeeper versions higher than ours, but I am doing all that I can and greatly appreciate all of the feedback! 

First wave of rewards from the form has been granted!

Halloween 2026

October 15th - November 1st

Happy Halloween everyone! Our lovely, helpful Soapuppy and Dirtkitty friends are here to bring us another fun Halloween event, and... what?! They're hosting a contest instead of being here? Fine, fine, guess we'll have to take this into our hands now...

🍂🎃✨🌔✨🎃🍂

Candy scavenger hunt

It’s time for a new hunt! But… there’s no hints on these! There's candy to find 

Any character owned by a staff member of any rank can behold these treats!

• The characters that have targets on them will look the part! Look for autumnal or Halloween themed characters!
• Make sure to search every facet of the masterlist entry! They won’t always be in plain sight.
• Take note of the numbers written on the candies! There are nine total candies, and they may lead you to a special extra prize for the tenth and final target…
  • Please do not share this link if you find it! We may issue a soft warning if we notice this.

The candy from this hunt are raffle tickets! Opening them will give you 20 Duckies and an entry to their coorelating design. If you do not want the entry, you can simply sell it for 20 Duckies instead!

Track your hunt here!

🌒👻✨🐈‍⬛✨👻🌒

encounters

Encounters, even our beloved Trick-or-Treat street, return!! If you're unfamiliar, check out the encorunters segment on our site guide! Explore new areas and try your best to choose the right options for a prize! Relax in the Pumpkin Patch, hang out at a Costume Party, and of course...

Trick or Treat street

For a unique kind of encounter this event, you can go trick or treating at Trick-or-Treat Street! You will be given a random character to trick or treat with who will give you a goodie bag. Watch out, though! Failing here will lose two energy points rather than one! This area is high risk high reward!

Extra food to gain energy is available in Cocoa's Confectionary!

Note: Due to site issues encounters may not always reset exactly at midnight site time, and someone will have to manually reset them. We typically do not need to be notified of a lack of a reset, just have some patience if it occurs until one of us can manually run the command, please and thank you!

Visit the encounter areas here!

Trick-or-Treating

Come visit us! During the event, you can visit the staff team's doors for drawings of your characters, and we may answer with a treat... or a trick!!! Knock on our doors and try your luck!

Side note: Community members are more than welcome to set up doors of their own! While we unfortunately do not have a place on the site for them that we can maintain, the requests channel in the Discord server is great for this!

Pay-to-enter Raffles

Four more design tickets are available in Cocoa's Confectionary! These cost 50 duckies a pop, each counting as one entry for the coorelating mystery design!

Dte  reminder

As a reminder, a set of DTEs is still open and able to be entered into! The winner for these will be rolled on Halloween!

Halloween Dress Up prompt

Draw your character in a halloween costume! The minimum requirement is simply a clean fullbody. Each completion will reward you with 100 Duckies, a trinket, and either a raffle ticket or food. Your first entry will also award you the Halloween Dress-Up 2026 award!

🌾🌕✨🐺✨🌕🌾

Event Shop

Visit the event shop for other fun Halloween things! All of the previous years' borders and pets are available, plus this year's Halloween pets to finish off the Puppop set -- the Angel and Devil (foodcake!) Puppops!

🦇🪦✨🧟✨🪦🦇

Extra

• A collection of Trinkets is available in the loot pool for this event. There are six total to collect. Once the event is over, you can compile them into a collection for your profile! These can be found from the event prompt or in trick-or-treat street!
• You can visit Alfred everyday in the Dailies to get a random food item or raffle ticket!
• Guess the Candy will be returning on October 30th! More details will be up when we have them!

Misc.

• Our first wave of raffles for Redesign Refresh is up! 
• Voting for the Emoji contest is open! Both of these will close at the end of the day on October 20th!
• Site is still undergoing changes, a full changelog will be available soon.

🍂🎃✨🌔✨🎃🍂

Please remember multi-accounting and other exploitation of events (such as bug exploitation and getting friends to partake for the sole intent of giving you their winnings) is strictly prohibited and heavily monitored via universal admin logs! We’ve been having increasing issues with this, so please partake in good faith and be fair. While we don’t enjoy it, we will have to revoke all cheated and legitimate prizes in cases like these, and it will likely result in a lengthy ban regardless of severity.

Thank you very much, and have fun! Happy Halloween!!

Our hiatus has now begun. MYO and Pound submissions along with some Discord areas and upkeep will be unavailable until December 1st, and staff activity in general will be slow if not essential.

The following will not be available until the end of the hiatus:

• MYO and redesign submissions
• Prompt submissions for the pound (Bonus Bubbles included)
• Trait checks in Discord

Everything else will be up, but be slower and less consistent, your patience is very appreciated.

For current submissions:

Current submissions will still be processed. If something is sent back and cannot be resubmitted, please get in touch.

Website Stuff:

The site will be undergoing a lot of maintenance, expect downtimes. Awkward, unfinished, or broken visuals and site areas will also be apparent. These do not need to be reported, as bug reports, etc. are all on pause right now as well.

As an optional little thing, a feedback form for site improvements is currently open, and hopefully isn't horribly technical. Filling this out to the best of your ability will reward you with 150 Duckies and a random pet as a small token of thanks! https://forms.gle/3whkTdJ1BmXSrViN7

👻🐈‍⬛🌕

All that being said, our Halloween event is starting soon! It's shaping to be super fun and is our biggest one yet, so get excited! The site's default theme has been switched to the Halloween theme to get in the spirit, but you can reselect the Sudsy theme in your settings if you prefer.

Thanks everyone!

Hi!! We're back with MORE guest artist opportunities!! These designs will be used for event activities, so they will be compensated with Duckies and a rarer item of your choice! Check out this form for information if you're interested!

Form Link

Applications close September 22nd, 11:59 PST.

Thank you! Look forward to some Halloween fun coming up around the corner!

October Newsletter 🌒💫

Happy October everyone! No Halloween event yet, but we've still got stuff in store for today!

Hiatus Announcement:

Starting from October 14th and ending on December 1st, we will be going on a partial hiatus! The following will not be open duruing this time:

• Trait and design checks
• MYO submissions
• Pound submissions
• Pound surrenders
• Discord maintenance will be minimal or slow unles urgent

Anything else, such as trades, gallery, and prompt submissions will remain up.

Our userbase has been growing super, super quick! We've already essentially doubled the size of our active team this year, so we just need some time to take a break and work on things for the species we've personally had our eye set on rather than just ways to manage the community space now. Thank you for your understanding! Please also note we do not presently have plans to open staff applications.

Halloween DTEs

Two tasty friends are looking for a new home, and it could be yours! Check out more information here.

Art Redemption Updates:

Art of transformations now has its own criteria that rewards Duckies at a flat rate, and should no longer be filled in under Character Art or Animated Character Art. The variability of Transformations made fairly grading them very difficult, so this aims to simplify things!

Transformation Art: 15 Duckies
Gift Art: 20 Duckies
Animated: 35 duckies

(Gift and animated art can stack)

As always, have some patience with the guide being updated please and thank you!

Pound Updates

• You may now purchase two Theme Tokens for 10 Bubbles in the Bubble Shop once per month.
  
  
• You may now use Suspicious Soaps and Pitiful Puddings on Pound submissions. To do so, link the MYO slot you wish to use up alongside the coorelating design on the submission prompt.
  • We will have leniency for trait accuracy, but missing a large chunk of traits or adding new traits may result in it being returned, so please be careful to follow your MYO!
  • You will not gain any bonus nor return on the MYO slot used aside from the base prompt rewards.

• The Bonus Bubbles prompt can now be submitted to twice a month.
  • A new option has been added as well, you can also draw a character still in the pound that's gone unadopted for at least 2 weeks! You're welcome to both options once, or either option twice.
  • Please note this is subject to change! If this causes designs to go out too quickly, we may go back to just once per month.

October COTW submissions

Submit your characters here!

Misc.

• Redesign Refresh will return in a few months! Unfortunately, running it monthly is not sustainable, so we'll just host it when we can. The first wave of raffles will go up on the 7th! (This will also the final turn-in date for designs currently incomplete.) Thank you so much to everyone who made designs!
  
  
• Emoji promt voting will go up soon!
• You can claim a Halloween theme for free in the theme shop this month! It's really, really purple!!!

September Newsletter 🍂🍄

(Awesome new newsletter banner by Sneavile! thank you!)

Character of the Week Submissions

Submit your September COTW submissions here!

Redesign Refresh

Something we put out a form for a good while back and... kept forgetting about. Oops! Regardless, by great positive reception, a new game is available to play in our Discord server based on our feedback on how it should run! Information about it can be found in the respective channel in the Discord server. Have fun!

This game involves using old designs from the Pound! If you do not want your design to used, you may fill in the list here, or ask in Discord. The current opt-out list is not public, so feel free to dm me (@sodabeaches) if you need a reminder for if you're on it or not. There will be a few days before claims open to all rather than just the original designers.

Emoji Contest

We will be holding a Discord-exclusive event this month, an emoji contest for our Discord server!! There's some pretty neat prizes in the running, so feel free to check it out if you're interested! The contest is at the very top of the channels list.

Misc.

• Pound designs now allow for one rare trait to be added to them.
  • Anything made before this update cannot be refunded, apologies! Anything applicable still in queue has been sent back.
• Toyhouse profiles for pound design claims are being moved exclusively on-site via claims. Please do not ask in the Discord server anymore!
• The default/Sudsy theme has been redone.
• Most missing pet collections have now been added to the site!
• The troubleshooting page has been updated. Please check it out if you haven't already!
• A new site theme can be selected for free in your settings! It'll remain available for free for the next three months, then switch over to next season's theme! I'm not quite sure how I'll handle having users obtain seasonal themes while out of season, but it is planned to be an option.
  • 
    (by zorua and slug!)
• Autumn stock is now available!
• Jelly Body has been split into two traits, Jelly Body and Soaked Body. The trait previously covered a large amount of very different stylizations, so it's been split like this:
  
  • 
    Jelly Body is a firm, jelly-like body. It has a translucent or shiny effect
  • 
    Soaked Body is for any sort of drippiness, it can be shiny or not.
  • If you are still confused, all characters have been retraited appropriately, so you can look at examples on the masterlist!
    • You may need to hard refresh to see the new jelly body visual on the trait guide.
• Unusual transformation has been split into Unshaped and Shape transfromation.
  • Unshaped transformation is for less defined shapes, such as blob-creatures.
  • Shape transformation is for more geometric shapes.

Rule clarifications

This is something we had previously not taken stance on, but we have decided to write a rule to clarify how we will handle this in the future!

• Individual designer terms regarding breedings, redesigns, and redraws will be not be enforced for characters added to the masterlist.

Of course, our species rules about design theft and copying are still in place, however individual permissions disallowing or restricting the above things will not be enforced by us. Users may request their personal terms on these be abided by, but they may not go out of their way to enforce them.

We have updated our CBC rules to clarify what is appropriate for the species.

• Violence and profanity are generally not judged
• Media with heavily sexual, mature, or offensive themes are not allowed
• Media centric around very heavy or potentially triggering topics are not allowed
• As a general rule, keep everything appropriate for our PG-13 audience.
  • The age rating on media doesn't affect if it's allowed or not, we determine based on the things listed above! (e.g. shows/movies targeted towards adults but are not too extreme for younger audiences are fine)

Just use your best judgment! If you wouldn't show it to a young teen, it's likely not appropriate for the species. Other CBC rules still apply, this is just an expansion on one of them.

Upcoming

• Our Autumn advent calendar will go up for preview with some raffle to pay slots! FCFS slots will be going up for sale the day after, on the 5th.
  • A sales post detailing everything further will be up shortly, please refrain from asking questions before seeing if it's answered there!
• A set of Duckie adopts will be going out soon!

art Fight Raffle Winner

PRZ-3561 has been won by...

bunbiiit, congratulations!!!

We will allow another week or two for submissions that have not yet been added to the site, just do so soon, please!

Remaining raffle tickets will be sold behalf of the owners if left unattened to, and they will no longer be granted in prompts.

Pound Rule CHanges

While this is not to target or single out any individual user, we want to put some additional guidelines in place on designs for the pound. The pound is meant to be a way for users to exchange designs, so we want to make sure every design is being created in good faith and to be adopted, rather than being rushed out to adopt others' designs.

Note that these new rules have a lot more leeway on clearly intentioned designs, but we will begin to be much stricter on things such as base and doodle designs from here on out.

• Bases now require a significantly larger amount of unique lineart for their usage to be allowed. They will now require several large changes to the base, or at least one large change with several other small changes. A graphic on base usage has been created. This is not strict, but a general guideline on what we're seeking.
  
  • Bases that come with tail, accessory, etc. options do not count for this. The additional lineart. must be your own art.
    
    
  • Edits cannot be reused across submissions and must be fully unique each time.
    
    
• We've created a set of guidelines that all pound designs should now abide by. We don't have strict requirements for this, but we now have a clearer visual of what we're looking for in pound submissions. Again, this is flexible. As long as you're creating designs with good intent, your design generally will not be rejected!
  
  
  
• If pound submissions appear to be significantly lower in effort to other designs you have submitted to the site, we have the right to send them back. You don't have to worry about chibi or sketchy designs that aren't in line with your regular work, but obviously rushed art will no longer be accetped.

We really appreciate everyone sticking with us through all these rule changes. While we do try to be as lax and fun as possible, as this species grows more and more into a community, we want to make sure everyone is having a good and fair experience and that staff work goes as smoothly as possible.

Please give me some time to update the pound page itself, I am very behind on updating the site's HTML, haha... (Looking at you, Alfred-iconed Cocoa...)

Trait CHanges

Traits between Soapuppies and Dirtkitties have been changed to fix some minor discrepencies.

• On Soapuppies, Additional Eyes, Many Additional Eyes, Additional Body Parts, and Many Additional Body Parts have been merged into just Additional Body Parts
• Dirtkitties now have the Multiple Gummy Types trait, which will henceforth be required when using more than one gummy types.
• Additional Tails on Dirtkitties has been downgraded to uncommon

Pre-existing MYOs and characters should be updated with these traits now, but please feel free to bring any stragglers to our attention in Discord or via a claim! Compensation will not be provided for downgraded or removed traits, sorry.
