I'm Doing A Thing, Here's Why.
5 years ago
There was originally going to be a question here, but writing it out helped me think it out. XD
Jokes aside, I've been growing and changing since I first started this account, and really since I've joined the fandom. It's time well spent, changes I enjoy, but I'm definitely a different person than I was a few years ago.
I still have a lot of love for the body, it's just a stunning and beautiful thing to see. An ultimate form of art, one that I appreciate on its own merits.
But over this time I've also slowly become more comfortable with sexuality, something that used to make me a lot more uncomfortable. I've grown and realized its place in life, the beauty it can have when treated with respect. I've also reached the age where my hormones have finally died down well enough that I can be the right kinds of horny and keep it under better control.
Over this same time... Well, it's less like my characters have really changed, and more that I've discovered more about them and come to terms with some of the ways they differ from me in terms of sexuality. I've learned it's okay when that happens, and I'm happy with it.
So, bearing in mind that I want to have the right kinds of attitude toward it, I've been ordering a few pieces of art that are absolutely adult in nature. Each character involved in them has different views and values; some of them reserve themselves for specific situations, where love and beauty are the first and most important part of the interaction. A few of them are blowing off steam or exploring things and behaviors I can't or wouldn't in real life. One of them is admittedly also just a horny monster yiffer who gets to live out my fantasies.
It's important to realize each character's inclinations and preferences though, because while I'm intending to explore sexuality a bit in safe ways, I'm not planning on just getting all the porn. Most of my characters who would be participating, especially those close to me like Skye, are reserved for specific kinds of situations and will only be in things with very close friends, those I know I can trust to be respectful of the meaning behind the art. That's partly because my babies deserve that much respect, and partly to ensure I don't get hurt or go into dark places anymore. Even Ardinax will have some rules in place, despite being a bit of a different tone from the others.
So ultimately, here's what this means for me and my account. First of all, my focus isn't really shifted. I'll still be getting primarily SFW commissions and artistic nudes, indulging my love of anthro forms, creature designs, and situations that fit my characters. But I'll also be occasionally uploading a few things that explore or celebrate different aspects of sexuality, for one reason or another. I don't want to make any of my followers uncomfortable, but I do suppose that's what the Adult filter is for.
That said, I'm not going to give much attention to anyone I don't know sliding into my DMs just to be horny about my characters. Again, most of them will only be doing this with specific close friends of mine, and sometimes only with specific characters. There's a couple of exceptions I'm willing to consider, but they'll be on a case-by-case basis.
tl;dr I'll be posting lewds here sometimes, but I have Rules for what kinds I get. Please be respectful of them.
I suppose that sums up my feelings well enough. Thanks for reading this far, and let me know if you have any feedback. ^^
And please try not to be too thirsty on main. =P
Love you all~ <3

FA+

so you'll be gettin some real hornby art huh? >:J
And... Well, I'm not gonna say I'll never do horny art, especially not with one of my main bois being the textbook example of teratophilia. XD
That said, it's mostly going to be things that are focused on the beautiful and intimate aspects, like the love between couples. ^^
