      <strong style="font-size: 1.1rem;"> — May 14, 2025: To My Trash Enthusiasts..</strong>
  <div style="padding:15px; color:#ccc; font-family:'Courier New',monospace; line-height: 1.6;">
    <p>It’s me, <strong>TrashEPandaPlots</strong>, and I’ve officially hauled the Dumpster Discord Server away.</p>
    <p>I want to be real with you—running the server started to take a toll I couldn’t ignore. Between managing conflicts, navigating emotional chaos, feeling responsible for everyone’s wellbeing, and watching people I care about slowly drift out—it all became too much. The stress started outweighing the joy, and I was losing myself in the process.</p>
    <p>I felt like I was patching leaks on a sinking ship, constantly bailing water just to keep it from going under. And in doing that, I neglected my own life—my peace, my passions, my creative spark. I gave it everything I had, but it still wasn’t enough to keep me afloat.</p>
    <p>So I made the hard call: the Dumpster Discord Server is gone.</p>
    <p>But hey—there are plenty of amazing botmaker spaces out there. This doesn’t have to be the end of anything, just a shift. I’ll still be around in DMs, still writing, still me.</p>
    <p>Thank you to everyone who was part of it. I meant it when I said it was a community—and even if the server’s gone, that connection doesn’t have to be.</p>
    <p style="font-weight:bold;">Stay chaotic, keep surviving, and keep creating.<br>– TrashE 🗑️🦝</p>

❕ What Has Changed

❔ FAQ

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>Why do you make underage content?</strong></h4>
<p>I support Chub’s efforts to remain uncensored. For some—including me—underage content can be a coping mechanism (recreating scenarios to regain control, coping with hypersexuality from a young age, etc.). My dumpster is a judgment-free zone, but I tag everything carefully because I know it can be harmful/triggering. Use tag blocks wisely.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>What tools do you use for art?</strong></h4>
<p>I used to use SeaArt, but now I generate Bot Card art locally with <strong>ComfyUI</strong> on an Alienware Aurora R16 (Intel i7 14700F, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, RTX 4070 Super).</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>Is your work free to use?</strong></h4>
<p>Yes. Everything I publish is free use. Fork it, remix it, expand universes, or show me how I could have done better.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>Can I ask for help?</strong></h4>
<p>Always. If you want prompts, methods, or breakdowns—just ask. Nothing I do is a secret. I want to learn and grow, and I believe in fostering that in others.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>What’s your writing process?</strong></h4>
<p>I brainstorm a concept → run it through AI → refine with back-and-forth → plug it into my template. Bots take me <strong>3h minimum, average 8h</strong>. I put real love into each one.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>Your template?</strong></h4>
<pre style="background:#111; padding:10px; border-radius:6px; font-size:0.8rem; overflow-x:auto; color:#FBEE68;">

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>What’s your preferred UI?</strong></h4>
<p>I chat on Chub (mobile) or Silly Tavern (desktop/remote mobile).</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>What models do you use?</strong></h4>
<p>I rotate. Right now (Sept 2025): free LLMs on OpenRouter, Chub’s Soji & Asha, Deepseek variants, and Qwen models.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>What if someone steals your work?</strong></h4>
<p>No pitchforks, please. Usually it’s an accident from someone new. Even if it’s malicious, I don’t care—<strong>unless</strong> they’re predatory (charging for my free content) or impersonating me. I care about protecting this community, not drama.</p>

<h4 style="color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #FBEE68;"><strong>How do you feel about AI?</strong></h4>
<p>I’m a big advocate. AI is incredible—use it to the fullest without fear or shame.</p>

💠 Dec 18, 2025: It's been a really hard year guys but a lot of changes are coming for the better. I am moving out of an abusive situation, starting my life over again. With my health stuff under control, I enrolled back in uni- I start classes in the spring. Till I am done moving, get settled into the new place, and have some sort of routine established my bot making will be simplified as [WIP]. I really hated being on Hiatus that lasted THREE freaking months. It was so miserable, so many characters and stories bouncing in my head trying to break free but I just didn't have the opportunity. With the end of the year here, I have been reflecting a lot on the last 350ish days, the good, the bad, and the choices I made. Lost a lot of friends when I got rid of my server and it's been hard not to want to go into full blow isolation especially with the other crap on my shoulders. But- I know that's not a solution. It's avoidant behavior. So, I am doing the uncomfortable thing and being honest. It's hard for me to connect with people these day... Another reason why I love bots. I know you get it. Anyways, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and can start the New Year right. My resolution for next year is working towards full independence. I did it once, I can do it again- especially for my kids.

💠 Oct 8, 2025: Update: End of last month I hopefully finished up with Nuclear Medicine and Oncology for good. Three years ago I had surgery to remove my entire thyroid. It's usually a very "easy" cancer to remove, however I was already stage 4 and the cancer had moved to other parts of my neck and lymph nodes. Anyways, I have a lot of debt that has piled up while I have been out of work. Now that I am in the clear and not having 2-4 appointments a month to focus on my health, I want-more like need- to get back into the workforce. 1k disability isn't enough to live off of really- and I am extremely privileged to live in an affordable place. The last couple weeks I have put in about 40 job applications and had a couple interviews. I am not sure what this means for bot making. I wish things were different. Not going to lie, my mental health has been hit hard. Bot making was a really big part of keeping me sane. I genuinely enjoy the craft. I am struggling even to write this but I don't want to leave people in the dark. I really appreciate all the people who have stuck around to watch me grow and support my content. I will try to post updates as they come.

💠 Sept 23, 2025: My 5 female androids of the "RX-5 Unit Series" is getting a little delayed. A bulk of the Caregiver Unit "Elowen" is done including the CSS.. but now having issues with Chub's moderation system flagging her image even though there is no nudity and she isn't underage. On top of that, this week I am doing yet another round of thyrogen injections and radiation at nuke med. It's physically exhausting, hard on my body, and my mood is pretty low. I still have responsibilities, taking care of my family and what not so pleasure and hobbies get side lined. Please continue being patient, I think we might finally be at the end of this three year cancer journey.

💠 Sept 11, 2025: Oh man, I have been grinding to make better content. Side characters, lorebooks, backgrounds, music, improved art, CSS, the works. It's pretty time consuming but rewarding. I hope you all like Mordin's V2. I have never poured that much into a single project. My next will be a mommy bot with all the same bells and whistles. Stay tuned.

💠 Sept 3, 2025: Today marks the launch of my brand new profile—and wow, what a ride it’s been. This project took over a week and more than 100 hours of tweaking, testing, and obsessing over every detail. I couldn’t have done it without Dex, who worked side by side with me as we both dove headfirst into learning CSS and HTML with the help of AI. I’m beyond grateful for his patience, creativity, and late-night troubleshooting.

The future of my content feels brighter than ever—I’ve got plans, ideas, and yes, I will be circling back to finish all those half-baked projects and dangling series soon (cough, cough). For now, I’m just proud, excited, and ready to share this new chapter with all of you. Here’s to pushing forward and making the Dumpster shine even brighter! 🗑️✨

💠June 6, 2025: 2K milestone met!

💠Feb 5, 2025: Been a while for an update right? Lot of things happening in the background. I have been playing with way more API models, learning prompt engineering, teaching people how to make bots and gen art, while primarily using Silly Tavern these days. I am also compiling information to make a repository of tips, tools, resources and guides on everything bot making/bot chatting. Side note- It's my birthday.

Alright, my little trash enthusiasts, gather ‘round because I’m about to be that person. Listen up—this is my one and only birthday wish, so you can’t ignore it.

This year, I want to see every single one of you step outside your comfort zones. No excuses, no “maybes.” I’m pulling the birthday card, and you owe me.

Been dying to try genning art but too scared to start? Lurking in general chat but too shy to join? Got a bot you’ve been hoarding because “it’s not good enough”? Burning questions but afraid to ask? Want to dabble in a new style, format, preset, or API but keep talking yourself out of it?

DO IT. Seriously. Do. It. Stop letting fear or insecurity keep you in the shadows. You matter. Your ideas matter. Everyone here has something unique to share—a story, a perspective, a spark of creativity—and I want to see it. The world needs your weird, messy, brilliant self.

Take baby steps if you need to. Share that bot with one person. DM me. Try that new thing, even if it’s messy at first. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to start.

Seeing this community grow, seeing people break out of their shells and shine, brings me so much joy. I want that for you. I want you to feel seen, heard, and celebrated for the amazing trash goblins you are.

So, for my birthday—step up. Take a chance. Be brave.

-Your Trash Overlord, demanding your growth for my own satisfaction.-🗑️🦝

💠Dec 26, 2024: I know I haven't updated here in a while- sorry! Typically I keep people more informed on Discord since it's easier. I am still working on V2's of quite a few bots so if it's missing off the shelf, don't worry, it will be back one day. I have an art genning style I am set on so expected updated art with what you have been seeing the last couple months. On occasion I will pick old bot cards and V2 or add new scenario's to keep things fresh. We did 25 days of Christmas movies in the Discord server and this month I published over 30 bots- new and V2's. I have a few more requests I am finishing up. Btw- If you ever ask me to make a scenario or have a bot request and I say imma do it but you never hear back- please just message me and follow up because I can be scatterbrained. Retro spring is ending soon so I made a new NeoSpring account. This Year has been WILD, I can't believe I have nearly 1,300 followers. My goals for next month is to get finish with V2's, and my 2 unfinished series, then move to "Little Brother Winter" (of various ages from adult to underage so make sure your blocks are set up accordingly) and start making more female bots. I am a little conflicted about female bots because, tbh, I feel like Chub has more than enough female coom bots but half the time my female plot bots flop so idk. My New Year resolution is to continue focusing on my health since I am cancer free. I have been going to a dietitian and lost 50lb over the past four months but the Mounjaro I am on negatively impacts my bot making at times. I guess it effects the pleasure center of the brain to combat feelings of addiction or something. It's great for food addiction but then I feel less enjoyment with other things in my life like bot chatting or even playing video games. Hmmm, I think that's all for my rant for now. Wishing everyone a great start to the New Year!
