Why Am I Here Now?
4 years ago
As of currently, just spawning from nowhere, nobody would necessarily care why I've formally started an account. Well it certainly comes from inspiration of sorts.
I wrote in my greeting that I've been a lurker for several years. More specifically, I've scouted and adored art from a growing army of accounts since I was, say, barely legal to have started an account if I wanted to. It was the fun and stupid escapades of doing google searching for images on the 3DS Web Browser of all places, and I found plenty of intriguing works and such. I've orbited around the place ever since, some artists falling out of fashion, others jumping straight into my inner circle of checking often, and plenty of one-offs catching my eye where I scroll through their galleries to see what I can take back with me to admire the artistry of it all. It's been pretty inspiring.
I've contemplated jumping into kinked online community rings a few times in the span of my watching years, but hadn't done it before because of my everyday life. I was a squeaky clean high-schooler who was under high-strung situations regarding keeping his grades up in difficult courses, solely because I couldn't care. I was and still am socially anxious and in need of some work done in that regard; I'm going to start taking care of it soon. So those factors kind of prevented me from committing to reach out, be seen, come into the fold of caring friendships that I had witnessed by following enough artists of the same friend groups, or sweet couples drawing cute duo images of each other.
But I finally got the catalyst thinking back on a particular post. Over the years, I've obviously jumped from 3DS browser to regular internet, and also following plenty of the artists I watch now on Twitter. One of them was Kygen; if you know him, cool, I didn't really. But for some really odd reason, I caught him with his farewell post after doing his final stream before disconnecting for college. And I have no clue why that hit me in the odd lament feelings, but I've interpreted it as some fear of never coming into the fold and somehow one day missing the mark, or some weird crap.
Look, I just took it as a sign and now I'm here, posting whatever I draw that lines more up with furry. Have fun watching what I favorite and what I post!
