Random Ramblings from a Random Rambler

If you tell me my feet stink, I’ll hold them against you... 😏
Disjointed thoughts with no real purpose. Sadly, I can’t write stories where I am right now because the laptop’s shared and used for work stuff, so foot fetish stories would probably be the last thing I’d want showing up in saved documents. 😅
So for now, here’s whatever this is.
————————————
First and foremost, I probably could be writing stories in my journal. I could, and maybe I should... but I also wanna use journals to discuss my current mood and other useless crap. I’ve been putting off rewriting my stories for too long, though...
STILL can’t believe all my shit is gone from Amino! I had a bunch of stories written that I sadly didn’t back up to another site because, well... I didn’t think to. It never crossed my mind that something could happen to my Amino account and I would lose all of my messages, and stories, and RPs... Damnit, I lost SO many RPs! 😖😫😩
Ironically, I’m more pissed that I lost the Borderlands RP that I was sort of DMing than my feet RPs. It’s nice to not only be tied down to a single idea/aspect of your personality and just be able to say “You know what? Maybe today I DON’T wanna get my toes sucked. Maybe I wanna try figuring out the mystery of what exactly Pokerus actually is!” So you make a Pokemon Private Investigator persona whose dedicated to solving all of the bizarre mysteries of the Pokemon world, certain crimes or cold cases involving Pokemon and their Trainers, toss in a few rumours and myths to investigate and you have a fairly interesting concept, I’d say.
Then, get messaged by someone RPing as a Sylveon wanting to RP. Casually mention that you’re doing a non-fetish RP and he won’t mind. Casually mention that you’re investigating rumours into a possible new Eeveelution and “OH HELL NO!!! FUCK THIS!!! How dare you insinuate that there could be UNDISCOVERED POKEMON?!? You lying sack of shit! Admit that your fictional premise is a fictional premise or I will be so mad at you! 😠😠😠”
I can see why some people don’t like RPing... some knobs just ruin it for them.

I’m glad I’m in Canada. All this rioting, corona, general civil unrest, distrust, hatred... Not that Canada doesn’t have some of it. Hell, the police FINALLY did something about the tent city in Oppenheimer Park. Almost 3 years of having a lawless, pseudo-black market/gang hideout. Over 12,000 guns were seized in more than 60 tents in the city park. Almost 20 tons of various illicit substances. Multiple arrests. If it wasn’t for the birus, maybe they’d be able to start Little League baseball again.
Still, all that pales in comparison to what’s happening now. It was going to happen sooner or later. Everyone’s tired about how they’re being treated in this country. Reminds me of the movie Network.
It’s about a popular news broadcaster who gets fed up with the lies he’s forced to tell on air, about how messed up the world is getting and all that. So he announces to the world the day before his last broadcast that he will shoot himself in the head at the conclusion...
In a Rational World: Folks would be concerned for his safety! This is clearly a mentally-disturbed individual crying out for help and we can’t let him do this! Take him off the air immediately!
In Network: Huh.... let’s see where this goes.
EVERYBODY tunes in that night. Biggest ratings event of the year! Millions are made and the executives realize that they have something here. And the best part is, the newscaster DIDN’T kill himself! Because now they WON’T let him! He’s gotta keep the wackiness going. He basically gets free reign to say/do what he wants, only now he starts talking anti-establishment stuff. Oooo, suddenly it’s a problem again... maybe he SHOULD ‘kill himself...’
It’s a very messed-up movie that serves as a cautionary tale for right now. It’s from the 70’s too. It also was the movie that coined the phrase: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”
Some would argue that it was ahead of its time, but I think it came out at the right time. Just like Brave New World.
N-not the artist :bravenewworld: , the sci-fi book by Aldous Huxley. Although I wonder if bravenewworld has read Brave New World... Shit, that was a Sonic comic too, actually. After the death of Dr. Julian Ivo Kintobor... So, if he was reading Huxley’s book during the cleanup of Robotropolis...
Then :bravenewworld: would be reading Brave New World in a Brave, New World!!! 😂😂😂
................ i thought it was funny....😔😔😔

Did You Know?: There are eight different smells associated with Skunky’s foot scent? And his feet never consistently smell the same, either. One day, they could be a very sour mix of vinegar and stale cornchips, the next day they may reek of fermented garlic, or an entire spoiled cheese platter. Depending on how bad they are, he may have multiple showers in a single day, although his feet can start to stink again in as little as 5 minutes.
He’s a Funky-Footed Skunk: visually he looks like a cross between a hooded and a striped skunk. A rare genetic mutation contributes to his excessively smelly paws, although he actively rewears the same socks or skips shower days when he has the urge to raise a stink (as skunks are sometime prone to doing). If you catch him on a particularly stinky day, it’s wise to savour your last remaining breaths of fresh air before you succumb to the harsh fumes.
Speaking of the fumes, they pierce through his shoes. Like, constantly! Even if he’s just showered, threw on clean socks and a brand new pair of shoes, it would take about 2-3 hours for the smell to make itself noticeable. A good way to judge just how bad Skunky’s feet are that day is to sniff the lingering fumes wafting from his shoes. Of course, sometimes it’s so strong that even that little sample is too noxious to endure... In which case, you’ll be forced to keep huffing in order to build up your strength for the main course. No passing out early unless he wants you too. 😚
He also loves smelling feet just as much as others smelling his, and depending on the other person’s preference, he’s able to play the role of ‘unwilling sniffer’ very convincingly. However, he’s not a fan of overtly-humiliating domination (slapping/physical violence, excessive verbal abuse, attempting to introduce a fetish scenario he’s not comfortable with, etc...) and tends to be more on the ‘gentler’ side when it comes to dominating. Instead of an intimidating and commanding presence, Skunky relies on his natural Essence to sway people towards him. It’s not uncommon for him to wake up from a nap on a park bench to find someone nuzzling his shoes.
I’ll do a full-on bio of Skunky at some point, but there’s most of the feet facts. His paws also have an extremely delectable taste to them. It seems that the more potent the fumes, the more savoury the soles taste. No one knows why this is.

I really wanna do an audio ‘skit’ for here. The fact you can easily post music/sound bytes is really cool, and I think it’d be a great way to help me get sone stupid ideas out of my head. 😂🤣😅
Already got an idea too. It involves the Sheriff from Mr. Pickles stopping and pulling over Whitey from Eight Crazy Nights just before he gets into Old Town. I can do both voices annoyingly well, so if you ever wanted to hear whatever that hot garbage would sound like, STAY TUNED!!!

I’m paranoid about getting a Paypal account for 3 reasons...
The first reason is Jeff Bezos! Which to the average person sounds really really stupid, but hear me out: Jeff Bezos was one of the creators of PayPal, until he gave control to the other creator. But not before taking a sizeable chunk of moolah with him because ‘CEO bonus BS crap free money stolen from company,’ and still have a sizeable amount of stock. Cue the first time PayPal got hacked and more than $15 million was stolen from people’s accounts/credit cards. Interestingly enough, Amazon was just starting up too. But they had a decent amount of starting capital... including a ‘private’ donation of more than 13 million dollars....... 🤔🤔🤔
The second issue is that I’ve got horrible luck with stuff like that. I already know my information is floating around somewhere (PSN hack, Lifelabs hack, hotmail hack, CRA hack, Facebook account randomly hacked by some dumb bitch I’ve never before met in my life, but had all of my shit deleted, INCLUDING PICS OF FAMILY MEMBERS THAT’RE NO LONGER AROUND!!!), and I’ve had instances of random shit attempting to be charged to a non-existent credit card associated with a new phone I got. Last thing I’d want is for my ACTUAL card to get targeted.
Third reason is that I’m just paranoid in general. The amount of seemingly unmitigated BS in my life is just astounding sometimes! I end up second-guessing my own thoughts and actions just because the people in my immediate life are constantly doing the same to me. I can’t count the number of times I’m at work about to start something when my dad comes in, rips the paint roller out of my hands and starts showing me the ‘proper’ way to roll... because I guess I somehow fucked up despite not even TOUCHING THE WALL YET! Or he’ll come in to ‘correct’ what I’m doing, only to realize that I had it right the first time, and he just ended up making more work for me. Or the times he just tells me I’m doing something wrong, but doesn’t bother to explain how or why it’s wrong, or even offer constructive criticism about the job I do. It’s just “Nope! Wrong! You’re doing it wrong! You don’t know what you’re doing!”
Meanwhile, whenever he makes a mistake and I point it out to him, he’s convinced I’m just trying to ‘get back at him’ from before. Except I point out a possible mistake he made in a polite way instead of verbally chastising him and everything he does, but... you know... I’m just getting back at him because I’m petty... 😕
So what does that nonsense have to do with getting a Paypal so I can start commissioning art? Well, to make a long story short... I’m just afraid I’m gonna fuck something up...😓
Like, I’ll get everything set up and running just fine, but then suddenly it gets hacked and my credit card’s at risk. I’m worried that at some point, my FurAffinity account is suddenly going to get permabanned with little-to-no prior warning and me losing all my stuff, just like what happened on Amino. Because everyone on here is a professional artist, I’m scared that I’m gonna misread some tiny little detail in someone's commission post when I put my name in and somehow fuck up the whole process and get blacklisted. I’m concerned that my bank account might also get targeted along with my credit card.
To the average person, this is irrational bullshit that honestly shouldn’t merit a second thought... But because I keep second-guessing everything I do, it makes what should be a simple decision into an excruciating one. I know nobody does commissions for stories/gift cards anymore, but that’s honestly the best I can do right now until I stop being such a fucking coward about this...

What was the point of all this, anyways? No one really cares about the day-to-day lives of their fellow humans, outside of immediate family and friends of course. But maybe that’s the point? We’re all here on this spinning rock whether we want to or not. For all intents and purposes this is our only home, but we’re not doing a very good job taking care of it. Right now, society’s at a massive breaking point.
Everyone knows about the riots over the death of George Floyd, but how many Americans were aware of the labour-based riots and protests happening in France and Germany for months? China’s treatment of Hong Kong is atrocious, but it’s nothing compared to the continued efforts to ‘ethnically cleanse’ the Xinjiang province of the peaceful Chinese Uyghur Muslim population. And they’ve been trying to do that for almost 200 YEARS! And despite Corona-chan running amok still, the West Bank and Gaza Strip are still as bloody as ever.
It’s hard to discuss these difficult topics, or sympathize with those on the opposite ends of the spectrum. A war orphan from Syria would be furious with an American orphan who lost his parents in an accident if ever the two were to meet. The American orphan’s sad that his parents died in a horrific accident. The Syrian orphan’s sad that his whole family was wiped out in a drone strike from the US military. No matter how much he explains he had nothing to do with it, the Syrian orphan would blame the American orphan until the day he dies.
But the truth of the matter is we’re ALL orphans in this current, broken system. It took Congress FOUR stimulus bills before they finally realized, “Hey... should some of this money go to families struggling during these harsh times?” The moment places began opening up, the cops decided they needed to start killing black people again. Now the police are literally just smashing through people, running them down in cars, doing drive-by macings, throwing women HALF THEIR SIZE onto the ground and stomping them! No wonder people are so pissed off right now.
I’m gonna stop rambling because I already wasted too much of my own time. 😅
It’s scary, the world we live in now, though. How shit’s just getting worse and worse... It’s upsetting to talk about, but it MUST be talked about. As censorship and ‘political-correctness’ grows, the ability to discuss meaningful change becomes harder and harder. You can’t really protest anymore without permits and setting things up with the city beforehand. Technically, the police COULD thrown every single protester in jail regardless of if they were peaceful or not, solely because they didn’t have the proper paperwork...
To quote George Orwell: ”In a time of universal deceit, merely speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
