What does this button do?
Hello! Welcome to my Open Bar! I want to interact more with people and have a place where people can ask me questions and what not about my characters, commission/story ideas, my process, and the method behind my madness!
You're free to ask anything you want besides stuff that's too irl (real name, religion, politics, the whole nine yards)
Feel free to even ask the creepy questions! I accept all comers after all!
While I might not immediately get back to you, I will answer all questions asked here by the end of the day; for me ofc.

Tl;dr Grasshopper Mice are metal af. Look 'em up.
Way back in the ye olde days of 2018, I didn't really consider myself furry at the time. I had been working on the outline for a book for quite a while now. During that time, D&D was the flavor of the month in my friend group and it was being tossed around. The idea came to me... 'why don't I DM?'
It could be both practice for my writing and planning while also being a reason to gather with my friends every week.
I offered, they pooled together money for me to buy all the digital assets I needed and in a few months, we would start!
My friends WERE furries, so they ofc started asking me if they could have furry races.
Many were looking up homebrewed stuff from other sources and I decided I could do that myself, lol.
I took a race from my book called 'Kindred' which are essentially furries and ported them over to D&D.
I ended on 6 main subraces, with the uniqueness coming from said subraces which in all honestly could be their own races, but I was set.
Vulf (Dogs/Wolves), Felin (Small Cats), Lagon (Rabbits/Hares), Murin (Mice/Rats), Ursi (Bears), and Cerid (Deer/Moose/Elk).
I made an entire backstory for them and what not as well as trying to make special traits for each of them that aren't on any other official race.
My players loved what I gave them! They mostly were Vulfs, but I wanted to show that this indeed was a living, breathing race in my homebrewed world, not just a character slide in.
Back I go into my outline to pull out another character; Stella.
In my book, she's an anthropomorphic mouse with a penchant for magic.
In D&D, she's an anthropomorphic mouse with a penchant for guns (Matt Mercer's Fighter Homebrew).
She was one of the 'tutorial npcs' essentially.
My players really ended up loving her.
Fast Forward a bit, I started a 2nd group because I was a new dm who promised too much and wanted a full, living world where I had two parties of playing on opposing factions, doing stuff to edge the gain of their respective factions, so I had to put group 1 on hold, which in hindsight wasn't fair to them at all.
When Group 2 was done, I planned on running Group 1 on Saturdays and Group 2 on Sundays, but I lost a lot of free time due to my job during that moment putting me into 50 to 60 hours a week because we were understaffed.
I unfortunately had to cut group 1. I was really happy to learn that two members already had another D&D game they've been going to. So while it stung for both parties, I at least knew they still had a source of D&D.
Two other people were problem players and I frankly didn't want them in the game anymore.
This left one person remaining. He still wanted to play, Group 2 was losing a player due to him wanting to focus more on his education, so I had to transition this single player from group 1 over to group 2 in a natural way.
And said player wanted a friend to join! And I didn't say no, which ended up being a somewhat bad idea as 6 players is A LOT of work.
Anyways; Group 2 had heard of the NPCs Group 1 had the pleasure of meeting and I made the decision to have a mini dungeon where the remaining player, his friend, and Stella would be moved over to Group 2 in a... somewhat meaningful way which I think I did pretty well at the time.
Group 2 eventually ended up loving Stella and had plenty of fun moments with the character; especially the person from Group 1. She became a semi-permanent addition to their party more or less. I could've handled it better, but hindsight is 20/20.
She shared quite a few memorable moments, one player character even fell in love with her!
I had to wrap up D&D unfortunately because the Overtime went into Overdrive and I couldn't make the quality I wished to anymore.
The player that fell in love with her; the guy who played in both groups, kinda had a furry crush on her even after D&D.
He playfully ragged on me, saying he hated me for getting him to like mice.
Stella, in the end got him to accept that he was a furry.
And in that same turn, that same fucking mouse got me to accept that I was a furry, lol.
Same friend started sending me mouse videos and one day he sent me a video about a howling mouse.
You've probably seen the memes if not heard of it, but that's a Grasshopper mouse.
I did some research and those little fuckers are amazing!
They're the only species of carnivore mice; meaning they only eat meat.
They actively hunt stuff like Scorpions, Snakes, Centipedes, Grasshoppers (duh), and even other Mice.
They howl to mark their territory and they have a cool feature which lets them turn Scorpion Venom into a Pain Killer.
They're fast, nimble hunters that immediately captured my heart. From that point on, I was dead set on having them as my Fursona...
And here we are now, lol.
Still, I'm glad it all worked out and that you could produce such a cutie patootie as a result!
Seeing someone get bigger just triggers all the feelsgood stuff.
Swallowing is nice, not my favorite in art form due to some artist having a... complicated time with it. I prefer the cartoony method of the cheeks getting huge from swallowing them up before giving a huge, single gulp. Not saying I can't appreciate other methods though~
Digestion can be really good if it leaves them with a huge, sloshing gut of prey soup!
If it's post-vore and the weight gain is minimal to non-existent then I just end up disappointed.
As for writing about it; I just like writing it. Extra points if other people end up enjoying that same brainrot!
