i was thinking of doing a css crime poll for this, but i was on my phone at my day job at the time of this and wouldn't be able to make a real dedicated post to this for several hours until i got home if i did that and i figured the closer temporal relation to the twitter post i made the better, hence why i did it the way i did. i was thinking about it however and i think for the next time i try to do something like this i will probably try that method, but thank you for the pointer and reminder on that!

i'm likewise a little weird about adopts, i've purchased so few of them but because i have the skills to make and draw my own characters so i've not interacted with them enough to know how the general public including people that are like me and people that are not feel about them. if i can work it right, i'll still be making dolls half of the time and the other designs i feel confident about would be in the adoptables group but know i won't have time to make into dolls immediately will be what fall under the adoptable category jurisdiction due to my other commission queue and day job stuff. at the time of this post, i have 13 clown designs i've made over the past several months and only 3 i've actually been able to make into dolls thusfar, so i'm trying to mitigate the difference between those since the number of designs is always going to get exponentially larger. i'm still going to make fully original clowns that won't have design companions, it's kind of like relegating my designs into two separate but obviously overlapping categories.

i thought about trying to find a way to "reserve" designs for dolls at a later date that won't drive my production schedule into pieces, but the cleanest way possible would be to just have someone purchase individual rights to the design so they can decide to do in the meantime, take the design into further their own, or ask me to do something more with it (plushie stuff).
