Hello customers, sorry we're late, but here's your monthly announcement to summarize some things going on around the community!

monthly prompt

We have two new Monthly Prompts up for the month of May! You can find our art and writing prompt here, and our designing prompt here!

raffles

Congratulations to TheCacophonyCollective for winning last month's Donated Design Raffle, who has been given an Adoption Center Voucher instead! For anyone who forgot to use any Raffle Ticket that they got in the daily loot, you can still use them to join this month's raffle and have a chance at winning one of the designs out of the Adoption Center!

Speaking of the Donated Design Raffles, we have decided to instead hand out the new Adoption Center Vouchers introduced last month. This just ensures that giveaway winners get their prizes sooner and can claim their prize at any time once they have received the item.

Adoption Center Changes

If you haven't been keeping up with announcements in the Discord Server, I have made a few changes to the Adoption Center that you should all be aware of. The first minor change is the fact that we will start discounting designs that stay "stuck" in the Adoption Center every year. So once a design has been in the Adoption Center for a full year, we will discount their cost by 50%, and will continue to do so until we feel like we should either just give them away for free or redesign them.

We have also made some changes to the rewards for donating designs to the Adoption Center to avoid letting people abuse the high rewards to get Cocoa Coins. While reward rates have been reduced, we have also added two cases in which the amount of CC you get might be even further reduced. Designs that are donated on a base will reward you with fewer Cocoa Coins, as well as any design that we deem to be low effort and just an excuse to get Cocoa Coins. You can find the new rates detailed in the Donate Designs prompt.

In addition, we have also increased the Cocoa Coin rate for drawing art of Marshies to better compete with the Adoption Center, and those new rates are also listed on the Cocoa Bank prompt.

Event Managers

Many of the changes listed above came about due to increased interest in the species and a community-led revival effort. Because of this and my lack of motivation for hosting events, I thought it was fair to open applications to let some of the community join the staff team to help brainstorm and host events for the species. Please welcome AnxiouslyandInk, quiet, and TheCacophonyCollective as our new Event Managers!

New Traits

I recently brought up two of my older species concepts on the Discord Server, and I've been working with someone to maybe try to revive one of them. During one of the conversations we had about revamping the trait sheet, one of the members suggested some traits that I thought would work well in Marshies as well, so I have added Patchwork as an Ultra Rare Trait and Multiple Heads (originally categorized under Additional Limbs) as a Mythical Trait. If you own a Marshie that you believe should have one of these traits, please submit a report or open a ticket so we can update their traits! You will not be required to use any Trait Upgrades to get these fixes!

fundraiser reminder

I'll probably add this reminder at the bottom of every newsletter throughout the month, but here's a reminder that we have a year-long fundraiser going on right now for the Trevor Project! You can find more info here if you're interested in contributing!

Hello customers, sorry we're late but here's your monthly announcement to summarize some things going on around the community!

raffles

Congratulations to bl0odyw1ngs_kae for winning last month's Donated Design Raffle, who has already been contacted and given their prize! For anyone who forgot to use any Raffle Ticket that they got in the daily loot, you can still use them to join this month's raffle and have a chance at winning one of the designs out of the Adoption Center!

monthly prompt

We have two new Monthly Prompts up for the month of April! For those of you who are not up to date with announcements in the Discord Server, we have started offering monthly Design Prompts to help give you inspiration for future MYOs or donations to the Adoption Center! You can find our art and writing prompt here, and our designing prompt here!

First Time Owner Changes

Another update that has already been announced on Discord but I thought I would go ahead and bring it up again here is that the First Time Owner Box now allows users to choose between the free Rare MYO Slot and an Adoption Center Voucher, which lets them choose one of the donated designs from the Adoption Center for free! If you haven't already claimed your First Time Owner Box from the Cocoa Shop, make sure you do so if you want to take advantage of this change!

discord bot updates

If you haven't seen the updates in the Discord Server, I have added a new suggestion feature to our custom bot! Just use /suggest in the server to send in a suggestion that you may have for the species, the site, the discord server, or the bot itself, and it will post your suggestion to a public channel for other server members to vote on your idea and discuss it as well! The staff will then approve or deny your suggestion based on public feedback and our own internal conversations!

For anyone who doesn't already own a Creamie, feel free to check out the Creamie MYO Event we just started to get a MYO and make one for yourself! https://toyhou.se/38069643.creamie-myo-event

Or if you do already own a Creamie, any attention you give to the post to help boost its attention is greatly appreciated 🙏 I have a few other ideas for some First Time Owner events I might host to try and help advertise the species and help new members get their first Marshie as well, whenever I find myself having time to implement those.

Hello customers, and welcome to a small little announcement to summarize some things going on around the community!

raffles

Congratulations to Demon_Zory for winning last month's Donated Design Raffle, who has already been contacted and given their prize!

monthly prompt

We've got a new Monthly Prompt up for February/Valentine's Day! You can find it here if you're interested in submitting something for it for your monthly extra 500 Cocoa Coins!

discord bot updates

If you haven't seen the updates in the Discord Server, I have completely finished setting up all of the ideas for our custom Discord Bot! So far it handles the welcome and leave messages for the server, posts a daily reminder for the daily loot, and has custom commands for you to link your account here on the site, call up a link to your profile here on the site, or call up the trait sheet whenever you need it.

Linking your account on Discord is NOT required, but it does help us be able to find your site username if you win a giveaway in the Discord server since it can be a little hard to remember everone's usernames if it doesn't match your Discord one

discord bot in progress

I've made a few mentions of it in the Discord Server, but while learning to code in one of my classes I've been interested to see how I can use that coding in making my own discord bots (admittedly inspired by a friend who knows more about coding than I do), so I'm slowly working on making a custom bot for the server! I have a few ideas of my own that I am working on implementing right now before I add it to the server, and there is a tag in the suggestions forum in the server for you all to be able to make suggestions for commands/features you might want me to try and implement so if anything comes to mind, feel free to drop it in there!

As you guys already already know, we are currently doing a Fundraiser event throughout the entire year of 2026 for the Trevor Project! But due to me being busy with school I haven't really had time to make some pride-related assets for the website, so after doing a poll in the Discord Server we decided to do an Art Contest to let the community contribute assets instead!

For this contest we will be accepting submissions for any of the three things:
➼ Keyart for the Fundraiser Page
➼ Pride Header/Theme for the site
➼ Pride User Border Design

You can see the specifics for each below:

Keyart for the Fundraiser Page:
➼ Can be art of any of the Mascots with the Progressive Flag or their respective Pride Flag(s)
➼ But be at least a bust or halfbody
➼ Can include words about the Trevor Project or Charity or Fundraiser but is not required

Pride Header/Theme for the Site:
➼ Can be art of any of the Mascots with the Progressive Flag or their respective Pride Flag(s)
➼ But be at least a bust of halfbody
➼ Please include the name of the site/species (Marshies Cafe) like the default theme
➼ Designing a background is not required, but it is helpful if you at least suggest a background solid color

Pride User Border Design:
➼ Some sort of design for a user/avatar border for the site that can be modified for multiple pride flags
➼ You don't have to submit a version for every flag you think might be used on the site, as long as it has the generic pride rainbow just so we can see the design, and then either you or one of our staff (with your permission of course) can recolor it for other pride flags

There will be a winner for each three categories, each of which will get either a Charity Exclusive Trait Upgrade or an Event Exclusive Item of your choice (Batch Self Breeding Slot, Buzzie MYO Slot, Creamie MYO Slot, Creamie Potion, Mythical MYO Slot, or any Holiday Exclusive Trait Upgrade)

Anyone who makes a submission will also receive at least 500 Cocoa Coins per submission! You may get more for Keyart or Theme submissions that include multiple of the Mascots and would have received more Cocoa Coins if you had submitted it for Cocoa Coins to make sure you get a fair amount for your effort

Winners will be chosen via community vote in the Discord Server, so make sure you join to get a chance to input your own opinions for those assets!

To submit your entries, make sure to submit it to the prompt ! Please keep in mind that in order to get your Cocoa Coin or item rewards, you have to have an account on the site! (I know that currently trying to make an account using toyhouse does not work, but if you create an account normally and then link your toyhouse it works fine!) If you have any other questions about the contest or the species, feel free to comment or join the Discord Server and ask in the server!

The contest will end in a month on February 23rd

You can also find this contest over on Toyhouse if you would like to favorite/share it to help with reach!

I'm sorry but this is so late, but here are the winners of the 2025 Holiday Gacha Raffle!

1. xxVoidlingxx - PRZ-0292

2. RABIES - OWN-0294

3. Demon_Zory - PRZ-0300

edit: Adoption Center Reminder

When sending the gacha designs to the winners on Toyhouse, it was brought to my attention that some of the characters that were for sale in the Adoption Center were still "owned" by the MarshiesCafe account on Toyhouse. As a reminder all of the Marshies for sale there are also uploaded here on Toyhouse, so please submit a report or open a ticket in the Discord Server whenever you buy a Marshie from the Adoption Center so we can send you ownership on Toyhouse instead of you having to make your own Toyhouse Profile for them! This also helps so the Toyhouse Profile has accurate ownership history

Hello Customers, and Happy New Year from the staff here at Marshies Cafe! A couple of changes have happened around the site since our last announcement, so let's dive straight on in, shall we?

trevor project charity event

If you didn't know, there has been some talk in the Discord Server about setting up a Trevor Project Charity Event at some point this year. While we could have just waited until Pride Month, I thought it might better to take donations for this event all year. This allows us to slowly gather donations over a long period of time, instead of trying to get a large amount all at once! If you're interested to learn more about the Trevor Project or see what the insentives are for donating to the charity, you can get more information about the event here!

Giveaway reminders

Our Monthly Discord Server giveaways were posted a few hours ago, but in addition to those the additional Donated Design Raffle has also been reset! You can collect tickets for it through the daily loot all month, and then use them for a chance to win one of the designs out of the Adoption Center! There's also only a few more days left to enter the Holiday Gacha Raffle, so make sure you use your Raffle Tickets before it ends!

candy cane shop

Speaking of the Holiday Event, you also only have a few more days to use your Candy Canes! If you don't spend them in time, the only thing you'll get to do with them is convert them into Cocoa Coins when we add the Candy Cane Converter to the regular shop, so don't miss out!

daily loot changes

The Daily Loot reward pool has been edited for the New Year! You can no longer recieve Christmas Exclusive Trait Upgrades or Candy Canes, as well as Rare MYO Slots (as I had mentioned last month) or Uncommon Trait Upgrades! Uncommon MYO Slots will always be free to claim, but if you ever wish to get a higher rarity MYO Slot, you will have to buy them with Cocoa Coins OR from donating to the Charity Event!

monthly prompt

We also have a new Monthly Prompt for a chance to get additional Cocoa Coins if that interests anyone! If you're interested, you can find it here!

I meant to post this yesterday and ended up forgetting, but this is your reminder that there's only 1 week left for the Holiday Event! The Candy Cane Shop closes and the Holiday Gacha Raffle ends on Janurary 5th, but all of the prompts end at midnight CST tomorrow! That means you only have about a day and a half to do the prompts to get Candy Canes to spend on the Candy Cane Shop!

The monthly Donated Design Raffle ALSO ends tomorrow! Make sure you use your raffle tickets to get entered into the raffle if you want a chance to win one of the designs in the Adoption Center!

Hello Customers, and welcome to Week 4 of our 2025 Holiday Event, where we will give you the fourth and final prompt, as well as opening the Candy Cane Shop for you to spend any Candy Canes you've gotten throughout the event!

week 4 Prompt

For this week's prompt, draw one of your or someone elses' Marshies in someone elses art style, just make sure you have their permission first! If you don't know who to ask, you can always use CookieCloudss' style! Just make sure you submit the prompt here when you're done!

Candy Cane Shop

Originally we were going to wait until next week to open the shop, but we thought we would go ahead and open up the shop to give you guys time to see what's available to purchase incase you want to go back and do the other prompts you haven't done yet to get the Candy Canes you need! The shop will be open until CookieCloudss wakes up on Janurary 5th!

reminders

This is most likely your final reminder to use your raffle tickets before the end of the month! That is the only way to be entered into the raffles, and all of the Holiday Gacha Raffle Tickets will be rendered useless after the raffle ends on December 31st/Janurary 1st, so make sure you use them while you can!
