Copypasta from my cohost page:

"Somebody asked anonymously how did I discover I'm therian and I initially rejected the question because it was something I saw right after waking up and couldn't brain (sorry!) but after time and coffee I wanted to come back to it.

It's hard to say, but for me it's a deeper feeling of connection to the creatures I most identity with. I'm polytherian, so there's more than one animal I feel strongly connected to, but the ones I feel strongest towards are rabbit, coyote, and Typhlosion.

I have had some phantom sensations, but they're rare and very light. For me it's more how I feel in my soul.

Rabbit is the strongest of all of them. I view the world always with an air of caution, but when I'm allowed to let my guard down I am a joyful and loving person. I am resourceful and enjoy building community and connections with those I'm close with."

Just thought I'd share.

Hope everybody's having a good summer

Idk Maybe it's the alcohol but I'm just kinda reminiscing about stuff. I've been in the fandom a while, had this account, and I've changed so much over the years and will probably continue to change. I've not always been a good person and I'm full of regrets, but generally speaking I just try to do good. I am sorry to those I've hurt over the years and do not expect forgiveness. Just want to get my feelings out there. Right now, as of today, I'm vibing with my Hisuian Typhlosion self. I do not connect with my humanity in anyway at all and feel comfortable calling myself therian/otherkin (polytherian to be specific). I love my wife, love my babies (three cats) and I have some incredible friends.

I've uploaded a few sketches I've done that I'm particularly proud of.

Honestly what kinda inspired me to start doing art, at 37, was playing Chicory: A Colorful Tale. Anybody can be an artist, regardless of skill. Just do what makes you happy. I do hope I improve, but I'm also happy with starting and making some progress.

By the way I absolutely recommend Chicory. It's a phenomenal game. Really had an impact on me.

Howdy y'all

Not much to say. I don't say much here. Just lurk and fave stuff mainly. I'm mostly active on Twitter, Telegram, and Discord, but I'm not giving my credentials out for that unless I know you.

Anyway, 2021 has been largely shitty, but Shoki and I bought a place of our own and I had bottom surgery, so that's good.

I need to upload a shitton of art too. I've adopted a bunch more characters and kinda moved over to a single fursona with multiple forms (So far those forms are Polar Bear, Corgi, and yinglet).

So yeah. Hi!

I should upload stuff here. I've got a lot of stuff to upload. I have like 8 fursonas now and they're all rad.

Happy Halloween y'all! I've got blind russians to celebrate

Nothing special, just holding up okay through the year, but times are tough.

Wear a mask
ACAB
Black Lives Matter
Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor
Trans Rights are Human Rights

What else?

I know I have not been super communicative here in the past year or two and I'm sorry. 2019 has been one hell of a year and a lot in my life has changed; I'm transitioning (though that started last year) but it's going strong, I legally changed my name, I got married, I started the journey that is preparing for SRS (That's not for a while but the first steps are done).

I've done a lot of self-discovery and I've been exploring otherkin feels that I've had for a while but didn't know how to explain or contextualize, but through discussions with some close friends who are otherkin I feel that label fits the best. I'm a cat! Ultimately that doesn't change anything, but it does make me feel more at ease and happy with myself saying as much. I don't really want to get into it much more than that.

Other than that, not much else to say. Happy New Year!

 Shoki and I got married.

That happened. It was beautiful. I love her.

Y'all I don't use this much, find me over at @/snowcataffy on Twitter if you want to stay up to date on things. Or on Telegram. Whatever works.

Anyway I changed my name today at the courthouse and that's a pretty big weight off my shoulders. Woo!

Like, this is old news at this point for most people, but in case you didn't know at this point, I'm trans. I started HRT in February. I'm almost totally out and I plan on changing my name soon.

Yep. I'm a girl.

Hey all, my buddy  blaze-lupine wrote a pretty rad book and got it published and it's out. Go check it out!

Who am I seeing at this bitch?

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8452495/

Check it!

I can't seem to remember my Skype password and I rarely use it. If you don't already have me on Telegram, I'm on Discord frequently enough. Check my contacts.

Not ready to fully update everyone on stuff and things, but when I'm ready ready, I have some important stuff I'd like to update folks on. Some of y'all already know.

Maybe I'm distancing myself from the various fandoms or things I enjoy, or maybe I just don't give a shit anymore about stuff. I dunno. You ever get that feeling that being excited or upset for something just takes too much energy? I've been getting that feeling about a lot of my favorite things lately. Don't misunderstand me, I still love and enjoy them, but I'm having a hard time being excited or disappointed in changes on the horizon. New Star Wars? Eh. Ben Affleck is Batman? Okay? Samus in high heel boots? *yawn* Greninja in Smash Bros? Okay I did squee at that...But a lot of things other people go crazy or get super butthurt over, I just don't really have an opinion on.

Does that make sense? I dunno.

 Shoki did'em and they're awesome, because she's awesome. Go buy one :3

Overall, AC was pretty good. I don't plan on making that drive again any time soon, and hope I can instead fly next year, but I would like to come back. Next year hopefully I can stay until Monday and maybe I'll have a partial then too. I got a sweet looking tail that would be a great start to a partial, so yeah.

4124-4994-0777 is my friend code. Add me and join me in Oakhurst~

So I am officially leaving both my current jobs and moving on to a better one. I interviewed at my State Farm agent's office in February and finally it's come to a great result. I will be the office manager for my State Farm agent. It's a better paying job with benefits in a great environment and I'm so excited to be starting there on the 13th.

Funny how it started out. When I leased my new car, I had to update my insurance for it. So after I called over there and left a message (this is back in January), I got a response from one of the office's employees saying they were really busy and having a hard time catching up and getting back to people, so while updating my info, I jokingly said "You guys hiring?" to which she said "Yeah, send over your resume." I got an interview a week before Valentine's Day, a second a week later, I had to take an assessment a month after that, and I got the notice I was being hired a couple weeks ago. Now that all my background checks and drug tests are cleared, I get to start. So yay!

So I was at No Brand Con this weekend in Eau Claire and I had an overall good time. Bullet point recap:
- Homestucks. Lots and lots of Homestucks.
- Lots of pony merchandise, mostly in the form of stickers.
- I picked up these:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....as/Sylveon.jpg
- Lots and lots of time spent in the table-top room. About 80% of my time was spent in there. I demoed a few games.
- Picked up a game called Red Dragon Inn, the third box to be exact, and there was a lot of playing that in the table-top room. Fuck Pookey.
- My tablet can now play SNES games, and I got a cheap Bluetooth controller from Gamestop, so when I was bored I played on that.
- Traffic on the way home sucked.

I'm not really sure what else to say about it. Lots of people with fox tails and stuff. I know there were furries there :P Good time overall.

Fuck you.

Seriously. Fuck you.

A former coworker and friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver in Janesville, WI Sunday afternoon. The driver, a 55 year-old man, apparently crossed the center lane and hit her car head on. She died at the scene, and her passenger is in critical condition. That man was arrested for vehicular homicide. I don't know what his blood alcohol level was, but considering it was mid afternoon on a Sunday and he was a mile or so away from his home, this kind of thing leads me to believe he was an alcoholic and/or a repeat offender, which, I am sad to say, is not uncommon here in Wisconsin. Amy was 33.

I admit, I wasn't the closest friend to Amy and didn't know her all that well, but she was the one who trained me in the photo department when I transferred into it early in my Target tenure, and we got along real well. She was funny, very nice, very understanding. She was never judgmental and always was on top of things. She was very smart and overall she was an awesome person. She would always greet me and talk to me if we happened to be in the store at the same time. It was enough I could consider her a friend. I talked to her last week Sunday about how we were both on the job hunt and wished her luck. Well so much for that.

What does it take for people to realize that this kind of shit is not okay? What's this bravado that some people have that they think they're okay to drive so they can avoid the hassle of getting a ride? I guess it takes killing someone to make someone go "Oh shit, I better shape up and get a handle on things." And the sad part is, some people will feel no guilt over something like this; their personal issues or whatever is all they care about, and the fact that someone is dead because of them will never impact them like it does the people affected by them. And it's sad, really sad. Addiction is a bitch, and some people just don't care.

It makes me really angry whenever I hear something like this, and it's affected me personally now as well. I know I drink alcohol, but I've learned to be responsible. If I plan to get smashed, I make arrangements to stay there, or wait long enough to be sober, and then wait some more for good measure, or just do that at home. If I'm out, I have one drink and no more. There's been only one time I got behind the wheel when I was really buzzed, and I felt terrible enough about it after the fact even though nothing happened, so it will never happen again.

I'm not gonna tout any anti-drinking rhetoric, because people can do what the want for the most part as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, but since this kind of thing can and will hurt someone, I feel I have to. Don't fucking do it. Give your keys away, plan ahead for rides or take a cab, get a designated driver, or just stay the fuck home. If I ever see anyone stumbling into their car after a few, the least I will do is call the cops on you. You don't want to know what else I might do.

So again, drunk drivers, eat shit and die.
