Welcome to Gaia! ::

That is good advice and it's why I didn't make my guild 18+. Lol. Because I knew I had to stick to Gaia's PG-13 limits.

Not that I mind, though. It doesn't bother me in the least.

I'm into ABDL non-sexually and prefer not to have the NSFW content. So I'm happiest playing familial scenarios and like, platonic kinda family stuff. ^^ Drama, fluff, slice of life things etc. are all right up my alley.

I like the innocence and viewing things through a child's eyes. It's fun to think that way.

Mind you, I also approve of people using the 'time skip' or 'fade to black' methods as well to bypass anything nsfw. You can gloss over things or refer to them vaguely too. That applies to rps with older characters though.

Yeah, it is. But I wasn't the one to come up with it. I just saw people doing it in other rps ever since I've been on Gaia. It's smarter than getting in trouble. Still, Gaia did crack down on a couple of trends that got super popular in the past, including slave and master rps, vampire boys kissing girls, DDLG or MDLB rps (which was a more recent crackdown but I can understand why). I'm keeping that last one in mind and being careful not to play that kind of story.

And that's fine. It's like that for a lot of people. You just have to take more saucy rps elsewhere and be mindful of what you write and how you write it on here. You can still have lots of fun without breaking the rules, so long as you aren't trying to get your rocks off, lol. There are other places for that. But I understand not wanting to partake in public and preferring 1x1 rps, going to sites more suited for specific interests. It just can't be done on Gaia.

Well, if the more age play and age regression stuff sounds fun to you, then you're welcome to join in any of the rps in mine or Baby Kay's guild. I have the Gaia Daycare Centre 3 which has actual children in it, and she has two different rps, one of which I joined that needs a Mom and a Dad still. But it's whatever you feel comfortable with. You can also just read along, but there's no pressure to interact. It's just open for if you want to. cat_biggrin

True. Or probably just go to Discord. Which is where everyone seems to have flocked to, to do whatever they want. And that's good to know that the mods aren't too aggressive in hunting down people's rps and posts. Eep. Especially with people like us who are not trying to cause any trouble but just to have fun together. I'll have to be careful to monitor threads and posts in my guild if it gets bigger, just to make sure everyone does play nice and is not doing dumb things, lol. XD I haven't either and I would love to keep it that way. I'd feel devastated if I got in trouble!

Ohhh okay. Well, since it's more of an actual nsfw/kink for you, I can understand that. I like to play as people of all and any ages but I especially love cute anime babies, toddlers, kids etc. Family bonds and the like. Exploring life through the eyes of a baby, kinda like Rugrats. And kids are just cute and fun to write as well. I always loved those old school, anime style orphanage and daycare rps in The Gaian Neighbourhood and I've read through as many as I can find. I used to rp in the original Gaia Daycare that my friend Bijou1234 had made. And I read the one that existed before that too. ^^ They are just so good and bring lots of nostalgia. I know there are a couple more out there waiting to be discovered in the archives.

As for me, I don't mind babying minors, so long as it's done in a completely platonic way. I would call them 'baby and diaper lovers' rather than ABs though. I know that's a touchy issue for some people but I only like to do it with fictional characters. Like, babying someone because it makes them happy, or they are disabled, or they are magically regressing, wholesome reasons like that. I wanna diaper and baby all of my most favourite characters. ^_^

As for fitting into current ABDL rps, well, the new RP I'm in with Baby Kay called Taming Kitsume, involves a 16 year old wild girl that her parents signed up for regression therapy. I get to play the instructor. I made her as a blue crocodile furry hehe. The first crocodile character I've ever played or designed, actually. Based on the Australian saltwater crocodile.

You could probably always share ideas for rps on either guild, or make your own rp thread as well. You don't just have to join what's already there.

Oh, that's a relief. I always worry about people getting upset with me for certain things because everyone has different preferences and views about the ABDL lifestyle. But I'm glad if people can be accepting and tolerant of each other and not fight or attack each other. ^_^ And yeah, anything besides platonic makes me sick and completely ruins the story. XP It destroys the whole point of rping as a baby.

Oh, I'm glad you think so! cat_blaugh And sure. You can always talk to BabyKay to ask her about joining as a teen character as well. Oh, thankies, hehe. I had fun researching and coming up with her. I found some cool crocodile adoptables art while looking for reference pics as well. They were called aCROCtables. Lol.

-snugs and purrs- Aw, thank you, that's good to know. I tend to be the same and do not judge others either. To each their own and all that.

Ohh I'm glad I haven't encountered that stuff. I suppose it depends where you go online and the general user groups and their ages. I think ADISC is one of those places someone mentioned that was like that. Very prudish and strict on rules. I'm happy I left when I did. I lost interest after they removed the rping section of the forum. Anyway, yeah I hope the kids grow out of that and become better educated. I think in most fandoms that had turned toxic, it was because of younger or immature people. Someone that I love won't even try to give the Homestuck webcomic a chance because of how the fandom used to be back in the day. It's good people grow out of it but they cause sooo so much damage before they do. XP

Oh, thank you. I can show you her character profile if you want. Or you can hop over to Baby Kay's guild and find it there under rp planning. I really wanted to make a male character but it naturally veered towards female so I rolled with it. I like playing good male characters since they are pretty rare in ABDL rps and family rps.

And that's okay. Do whatever makes you happy. That's what I like to tell people.

It is Ridley with an "L" but if I can't get the original name I just use a capitalized "I" since it looks the same haha. I started using it a long time ago and it just stuck, it's a Metroid reference mostly, nothing particularly special about it :p

Just gonna copy/paste a segment from the wiki b/c my explanation would be overly long lmao. "The Metroid games chronicle the missions of bounty hunter Samus Aran in a science fiction setting which contains many similarities to the Alien film franchise. Central plot elements are the Metroid organisms and the Space Pirates which try to exploit the Metroids' powers. The gameplay combines adventure based on exploration and item-gathering with platformer and shooter dynamics. The Metroid games are famous for their nonlinear gameplay, where one can complete a game with a fraction of the items available in the game."

Alien is one of my favorite movies ever and the director is Ridley Scott, the protags name is also Ripley, and one of the main antagonist in the Metroid games is also named Ridley, so I chose it as an homeage of sorts on top of just thinking it sounded cool at the time haha :p

That's a really cool backstory on what your username means! You obviously put a good amount of thought into it :3c "Kasumi" also just sounds p cool hah
