Posted 5 years agoFirst off, 50,000 Kiriban coming up! not sure what i am gonna do, but for now just in case, if you catch the 50k mark we'll do a pic with a character of mine of your choosing! Hypno themed of course!
Secondly, I am in love with the new girl, Shandora, going to make her my main OC I think.
Another thing, I am not sure what the future holds, just....feel that weight you know?
That's all for now, take care everyone! Be Safe! Last one for a while
Posted 5 years agoI know we're all tired of politics and junk, but just wanted to give you guys an RL update.
I was attacked.
Not online, not verbally, in real life. It was by someone from my work, didn't talk to me, didn't debate, just messaged me on Facebook calling me retard and the like, then after I blocked him he used a company truck and cut around me nearly hitting me off the road and into a building. I managed to avoid it.
In short, I will not withdraw my opinion, but this is why I said it aloud. I expected this, and it happened. I hate to say it but this is what I kind of expect these day. You say something different from the norm, and the "other side" will call you names, remove you from social media, and even take violent action.
That being said, thank you, thank you to my friends and people who took the time to talk, to discuss, even listening to my rather "passionate" views and used words, logic, and even if we disagreed they stuck around and talked it out, I'd say who they were but I don't want the hate shown to me to spread to them just because they weren't hostile towards me.
I have seen people who were understanding, kind, thoughtful, but to the blunt, it was only a few handful out of the majority I've seen.
I'm not right, I'm not left, I want peace, I want violence to stop unless it's needed to protect the innocent, regardless of who that is.
Keep a cool head on your shoulders guys, be good people, think how can I make the world a better place today and spread joy, understanding, and peace.
Cheers guys, God bless!The Truth
Posted 5 years agoIt's happened over and over again, someone messages me with the claim they want to "talk" or "debate" with my about my opinion, each time saying they wanted to change my way of thinking or saying they "strongly disagree with me" about my opinions because I DARED suggest that BLM protests grow violent sometimes from nothing but BLM protestors getting carried away, or that Antifa is a terrorist group that is betraying the US by usurping US soil.
Each time a person comes to talk to me I have not insulted their way of thinking, not resorted to name calling, not called anyone stupid or ignorant for thinking one way or another. But they have, every single one who messaged me hurtled an insult or two my way and even though we came to an agreement, that peace was more important, that people's lives mattered more than trying to force your opinion one someone...even if we came to a stop in our talks and agreed, the persons would wait a short amount of time, then send me a long huge note or essay about how stupid I was, then block me, punish me, kick me in any way they could, so instead of going through this five times over again and again here it is in plain words.
BLM
Let's get this out of the way, my home town was ransacked by BLM. I showed a few trusted people the footage and they went from "The FBI says right wing and police cause them to escalate" to "I am so sorry that happened" because there is nothing but footage of people waving BLM flags and signs just slowly devolving from a peaceful protest, to starting fires and putting people in danger, to starting a fight amongst themselves, and then looting, rioting, and destroying the place where I grew up.
Is this all BLM? No, it's not. The fact is on paper BLM is mostly peaceful, but not all of them. I brought up videos of them attacking hospitals with bricks, or fighting in the streets with no one but themselves. Of them attacking police even if they were just driving by. Many, many people in BLM are angry, violent people and to be honest? Almost everyone one I've seen carrying out this violence has been white or other just causing chaos in BLM"s name.
Solution? BLM protests need help, they need to be protected, they need to be guarded. BLM protestors, stop the violence when you see it happen, don't think someone is joking when they pick up a brick, END THAT now! Some BLM protestors have caught on that there are people moving from town to town just starting the fires to get people looting so they can get free stuff, do not let them do what they did to my home. Promote peaceful protest, be the change you want to see.
The Police
Let me say this, the police need help, something needs to change. I have seen videos of police just walking into a man's home and accusing him of being a burglar just because he was black, for no other reason than "We got a call" and yet they invaded his home, pointed weapons at him, treated him like a criminal without even asking his name. People get shot without cause, people get harasser without action, it's simply not okay.
This comes from people who have racist tendencies, either because they have worked in the job so long without anyone helping them vent, talk, or challenge their views, or they bring over hatred and racist tendencies from "family values"
I believe the police don't need defunding, they need more of it. They need mandatory therapy sessions, they need to be rotated out more so they don't work as many hours, they NEED stronger vetting so that corrupt officers can't just go from one town to another once they get fired for violent and hateful acts on the fore, when you're done, you're done.
They need to be more firmly trained as the peace officers they are meant to be, many of you suggest social workers, not realizing the police are supposed to be social workers! That is the point of the police. To protest and serve, not cuff and arrest or shoot on sight. This needs to be reestablished and people need to be trained further and need therapy, cause let's face it, they have the hardest job, literally dealing with the scum of the Earth, and that can destroy you over time, turning you into a cold, heartless being, they're humans too, we need to treat them as such and realize there are good ones, bad ones, and some that just need help.
Antifa
I am not going to say much, you know how I feel. This is a radical group, organized more than people say, with their own logo, set of beliefs, and mission statement. They try to usurp cities from government control and take over. That's treason, plain and simple. They are getting in the way of people's lives, these people destroy, take, and walk all over other people's rights to freedom and the pursuit of happiness for their own gain. They need to be disbanded, not a single person has made the argument to me that "95% of antifa protests are peaceful" flat out, because they're not. Instead people try to prove to me it doesn't exist, and groups like Proud Boys are the real threat. Well how do you think PB was made? They formed as a direct counter to Antifa, so now you have extreme and radical groups on both sides with violent beliefs and tendencies standing against each other and that's not okay. We need order, and we need help.
So, in summary. I believe in peace, I believe in protecting the innocent, I believe in using any means necessary to protect the lives of the innocent and those who are punished for the emotions and actions of others. merely because they're so infatuated with their own views they can't see the wrong they're doing. Whether it's unjust officers, hate filled rioters, or greedy looters or anything. People have a right to be free, to live life without fear of being stopped and attacked by random protests or officers who just stopped them cause "They looked suspicious" when we all know why they really stopped them.
Be yourselves, be open, be kind, be logical, do not just accept that your side is right and be blind to the other side, the other opinions, challenge yourself, challenge others, be HUMAN and remember, believing in something, fighting for a cause is fine, but the second you hurt someone innocent, the moment it becomes so much about your beliefs you start to take away the freedoms of others, it's not okay, as my old boss would say you do you, boo boo. Be yourselves, and be good people, we need more of you in this world.
Take care, guys.

Growing up
Posted 5 years agoHey guys, this is important. Recently I had a couple friends on Discord message me who "just wanted to talk" about my latest journal. They wanted to challenge my views and talk it out. I agreed. So we'd talk and through the conversation I'd make points, they would, and we'd reach conclusions. In both cases I was very pleased because we both ended up agreeing with one another and at the end of the conversation we both agreed it was a good discussion....
However...
BOTH people after a few days of silence sent me a message out of the blue calling me names, either "privileged" or an "ist" or "ism" and then insta blocked me on all accounts like here, FA, twitter, etc.
This confuses me, because in both cases we talked, we discussed calmly and rationally and though through the conversation they kept asking me one sided questions like a reporter we ended up in a good place reaching a conclusion and a balance. But both times the person randomly blocked me a few days later accusing me of saying things I never said and then that was it.
I cannot stress this enough... DO NOT BE LIKE THESE PEOPLE
If want to debate with someone, then find yourself agreeing with their point of view, this does not mean you get to just name call them and block them. Keep an open mind, don't throw away friend ships just because you don't agree, just SAY that, you don't agree but that's fine.
I know we are furries and love to escape, but you're still adults, and we all need to act like it. Don't burn bridges because someone doesn't agree with you, or worse, you find yourself agreeing with them.

A Nightmare became reality
Posted 5 years agoI had a dream last night where my country (USA) was being destroyed from the inside by terrorists. By terrible people claiming to be fighting for good causes but instead they were looting, rioting, fighting, beating up innocents and trying to destroy the very nation that raised them. Then in this dream I was a group rise up, a militia of good people fighting back to defend the homes and business of the innocent against these terrorists. Politics be damned, they banned together across the nation and fought against these hollering, angry, evil people.
But then I woke up...and the nightmare was real and the dream was a fantasy.
I do NOT stand by violent BLM protests, I defy and spit on ANTIFA, I believe anyone who believes in defunding the police needs to leave, I believe any church that gets looted or destroyed by islamic terrorists or anyone else needs t obe taken seriously, I believe real and actual pedophiles need to be shot, and I believe every looter, rioter, and person jumping up and down on cars with families and children in it, waving there flags and screaming bloody murder need to be arrested or worse.
I do NOT stand by you, I defy you, regardless of what this costs me I have had enough of being quiet about it, I will not live in fear and silence. I do not support Trump, I do not support Hillary, fuck politics. I stand by decency, by people, by the idea that ALL people are created equal and that attacking others just because they're not acting like animals and screaming and crying and attacking other innocent people to get your way in some sort of temper tantrum doesn't make them "ignorant" or "privileged" or any of that, you people are using words like that just because it's the only way you think you have to defend your point.
I am still very angry over my dream, and even more angry at waking up and finding it was my reality. We need police, not all police are bad, all people, black, red, white, yelow, purple, green, blue...we're all equal, we're al good, and for those anarchists like ANTIFA who are intent on bringing down cities to their level...if any time they are ever within range of my ability to drive or afford to get too, I will come to that location, and I will take my stand against you.
No more hiding, no more trying to be sensitive or open minded or be careful about hurting feelings, I am doing pretending evil has a place in this world and it dares to hide behind good causes. I am done being silent.

Shameless Raffle Boosting
Posted 5 years agoPatreon Boycott
Posted 5 years agoI know artists have to live their lives, they have to earn money, so I am not making some cry to arms or trying to ruin their lives. That being said I have withdrawn all my support from Patreon. Cancelled all my subscriptions. They have gone insane with their control over content lately, let people draw what they want to draw and support what they want to support, just because a mod finds it "offensive" shouldn't mean you get to say what can and can't be drawn.
I will support artists on other less controlling pay sites, but as for Patreon, I am done, and withdrawing my support.
I wish everyone the best during these troubled times and y'all should keep your chins up, we'll get through it. Cheers!

Back from TFF (2020)! (Also scammer warning!)
Posted 5 years agoHey guys!
So yes! I just got back from TFF if you can't tell by the sudden uploads I have been doing! It was wonderful, I got to hang out with so many cool peeps like Sur, Skid, Splint, Maj, and more and more! I was stoked, spent too much money, and enjoyed every second of it, even where I blew my chance singing Disney Karaoke XD (right song, wrong lyrics, time, and missing parts).
As for the scammer! I uploaded artwork here and I got a note saying "Someone is using your art! Look, I found them!" and sent me a link to a website called adfoc.us or something.
BEWARE
This site is apparently just a scam people sometimes use to make money, give out malware, and even sell kiddy porn from what I researched.
Ignore these notes and report them immediately.
That's all for now, take care guys!

PATREON BANS HYPNO ART
Posted 6 years agoI have been working on this all day, but the bottom line is, Patreon is banning ANYTHING considered "Sexually aggressive" or
"dubious consent" so this means most forms of BDSM, hypnosis, micro/macro, and vore art are being targeted, and the art is not simply
removed but the accounts of the user posting the content gets suspended.
Why did this happen?
For two reasons.
1. A company starts small, availing itself to the smaller groups and more niche crowds. Those crowds gather together to support the
website and the website succeeds. After time it grows and grows attracting more of the niche crowd until it becomes a healthy company.
But once it's a healthy company they try to sell themselves to large advertising firms and whore themselves out for more money, the firms
say they won't associate with the website until they've removed all the content that might be considered dubious, which is what made the
website thrive in the first place. So slowly, systematically and without warning they start cutting it all out, cutting people's incomes and
works under threat of losing everything.
2. The company grows in the same way and hires new members to admin the accounts and to monitor the website. Well they end up hiring
one or two extremely "politically correct" associates who complain and whine that some people are posting work that is not in line with
their moral code, and so they push and urge for a site wide ban of this type of work without a care to who it might hurt, all they care about
is their own agenda.
A combination of these two is what brought Patreon down to this, and here we are. I already e-mail the CEO, a few admins, and filed a
ticket. I know it seems like overkill but they're just playing with people's lives and not caring because as long as more money can be made
it doesn't matter who gets hurt.
I already created an account at a website called subscribestar which has a saying...
"No big corp murky policies, no silly macromanagement or overreactions,
and no judgements or biases whatsoever."
This is what we need, and after a month or so, if the artists I love truly get taken down like Patreon seems to be doing, I will be deleting
my Patreon and moving my business to Subscribestar, whether the people I follow do or not. I love them and support them, but I will be
selfish and insist I will only support them if they don't get censored.

Note: This is NOT up for debate, I am not hearing any of it. This is a personal rant of hatred against a large corporation that fed off of us
and now that it's big it wants to kick us to the curb, screw Patreon.Free Art Slot CLOSED
Posted 6 years agoThank you all for your offers, but I ended up picking two winners. Who? You'll find out soon!
If you were not approached by me asking for permission to use the character I am afraid you didn't win 3: but I will be doing this again soon and next time might work with the artist to hold a raffle and such! Want to be in a FREE PIC with my hypno gator dom?
Posted 6 years agoKeep in mind this is basically an audition! The winner will be chosen by my preferences alone!
Preferred Character:
Smaller, femboi or girl, a bit more natural and not as vibrant (meaning I am not looking for super creative and colorful characters no matter how cute I find them to be!), easy enough for the artist to draw without having to charge extra. The picture will be fully paid for by my and the slot is already claimed. All you need to do is show your cuties and win me over!EDIT: Apologies to everyone who commented with references on the last journal. There was a mistake and the last journal was deleted. Feel free to post your references again.
Note: Post your ref with the understanding if I choose your character and you agree to be a part of this pic I hold all rights to post the picture anywhere I want and it will not be taken down upon requests under any circumstances unless I feel it is necessary.
HIRING AGAIN
Posted 6 years agoI am looking for artists who would be good at drawing sexy, lithe, pretty burbs! Any ideas?

Posted 6 years agoHey everyone! If you're there come see me! I'm the dude walking around in gym shorts and a tank top...
oddly enough that is a valid enough description for you to find me XDKitty Kat B-day!
Posted 6 years agoBirthday is on March 21st! Why am I posting this? Cause I wanna and am super happy <3 It's gonna be a good day spent with family :3Hatred, Politics, and making sense of it all.
Posted 6 years agoThis is not going to be a fun journal, but still I hope you read it.
Lately in my life, at work, online, and etc. there seems to be more and more bullying over political views and personal views. Bullying as in groups of people trying to force someone else to change through slander, hatred, and badgering.
This has not just been happening to me, to a lot of people I know, but I am going to be focusing on some examples here for me.
At work one of my coworkers was angry because on Facebook they saw that I had mentioned I approve of a border wall, at work they went to HR and tried to report me as racist because I supported the wall. I got called into the office and they confronted me about it. I told them that was on Facebook and the whole issue was immediately dismissed and I blocked the person from seeing my Facebook to prevent this from happening again.
I could go into online issues of my past and express how people are intolerant of opposing views or how internet bullying happens but I feel we all see it happen all too often.
So here is the kicker...
It's not racist to want to protect your borders, it's not homophobic just to have a religion, it's not ignorant to vote for the independent party, it's not being a hate monger to believe in one's leader, it's not toxic just because you disagree with someone. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Does disagreeing with me make you my enemy? No. Do my views make me a terrible person? No. Do you suddenly feel the need to spew hateful comments an tell me how much of a bigot I am? If so you need to stop, and think. How is that attitude, how do those words help anyone? You can make a big show of it, you can block me and tell everyone you know to block me all because I have a different view then you, but it doesn't change my view, it doesn't stop me from my beliefs. It does not change anything except causes more hatred. You're causing people to split into groups just to support your own hatred and anger and malice. And if that's all you live for, if that's all you believe in, you need to step back and think bout your beliefs, to think how instead you can use your words, to debate, to keep calm and change each other's minds with wisdom and thoughtful challenges rather than anger and hate. And if they don't believe what you do still, then oh well! Let them believe in what they want!
Even Jesus Christ himself didn't believe in going out and forcing people to convert or even debating with them! He merely preached his words, he went out and sat in a place and spoke about his beliefs, not targeting anyone, not attacking anyone, just informing people and because his message was filled with life, love, and hope, people listened and converted on their own, coming to the decision that he knew what he was talking about!
The message itself is not the point of this journal, the point is that you, me, all of us as people need to give other's a chance to decide for themselves, to let them come to their own decisions and let them have their own beliefs. If they disagree with you, don't promote hatred, don't promote malice. These "news" companies and bloggers on the internet with titles like "Republicans trying to execute gay people!" or "Democrats are trying to take away your religious freedom!" all those pages do is target your hate so you click and they get the AD REVENUE, that's what it's all about for them, money, funds, and you who promote that hatred just push money into their pockets and frankly, that's not worth it, for any of us. Hating one another just to prove your loyalty to some random web page about an exaggerated truth that became a lie.
Be honest, be open, be truthful, be mindful, be firm. And God Bless.
Lately in my life, at work, online, and etc. there seems to be more and more bullying over political views and personal views. Bullying as in groups of people trying to force someone else to change through slander, hatred, and badgering.
This has not just been happening to me, to a lot of people I know, but I am going to be focusing on some examples here for me.
At work one of my coworkers was angry because on Facebook they saw that I had mentioned I approve of a border wall, at work they went to HR and tried to report me as racist because I supported the wall. I got called into the office and they confronted me about it. I told them that was on Facebook and the whole issue was immediately dismissed and I blocked the person from seeing my Facebook to prevent this from happening again.
I could go into online issues of my past and express how people are intolerant of opposing views or how internet bullying happens but I feel we all see it happen all too often.
So here is the kicker...
It's not racist to want to protect your borders, it's not homophobic just to have a religion, it's not ignorant to vote for the independent party, it's not being a hate monger to believe in one's leader, it's not toxic just because you disagree with someone. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Does disagreeing with me make you my enemy? No. Do my views make me a terrible person? No. Do you suddenly feel the need to spew hateful comments an tell me how much of a bigot I am? If so you need to stop, and think. How is that attitude, how do those words help anyone? You can make a big show of it, you can block me and tell everyone you know to block me all because I have a different view then you, but it doesn't change my view, it doesn't stop me from my beliefs. It does not change anything except causes more hatred. You're causing people to split into groups just to support your own hatred and anger and malice. And if that's all you live for, if that's all you believe in, you need to step back and think bout your beliefs, to think how instead you can use your words, to debate, to keep calm and change each other's minds with wisdom and thoughtful challenges rather than anger and hate. And if they don't believe what you do still, then oh well! Let them believe in what they want!
