Last day of Megaplex - Meets?
Posted 2 months agoAnyone here who wants a hug before the con ends? <3
Megaplex on the horizon!
Posted 2 months agoAnyone wanna meet up? :3
The West is in trouble.
Posted 3 months agoLike, "holy shit, we're teetering on the edge of 1984" kind of trouble.
I can reasonably say that I've never been happier to not live in Europe right now. The UK age verification law is goddamn dystopian. But of course, the US isn't immune to this shit. We're also dealing with banks telling us what porn we're allowed to watch, so that's pretty fucking cool I guess.
Go read this: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th.....enate-bill/401
Call your senators. Tell them, in no uncertain terms, that support for this act is vital to free speech, and we won't accept anything but a resounding "YES" to the Fair Access to Banking Act.
Call Visa and Mastercard. Remind them that they are not government entities, they do not make laws, and their only role in business is to make sure money gets from Point A to Point B.
Don't even bother talking about Collective Shout, to be honest. They are the smokescreen. Payment processors have been planning this for years, and a conveniently-placed activist/fascist group is only the cover for it. Yes, Collective Shout is 100% evil and shouldn't be allowed to exist, but they're not the source of the issue.
Keep creating. Don't let prudes and boardroom cowards dictate what you fap to.

Got a whole-ass novel planned out.
Posted 4 months agoFeels good to actually know where a story is going.
...This is gonna take me another year AT LEAST.
If anyone's curious, it involves a certain elf girl and a certain dragon boy. ♥

Updates, Thoughts, The Like
Posted 5 months agoHeya furfriends. Hope you’ve all been well.
Things here have been… mostly comfy. I got back to work in April, I’ve been writing up a storm (seriously, go check out my new stories <3), and streaming is back on as well. Megaplex is basically just around the corner, and some of my best buds are coming to hang out with me there.
But in spite of all that good stuff, I still find myself thinking weird stuff. Usually when I have some kind of health scare. I recently started getting consistent pains in my arms and some really bad fatigue, and I started wondering if I might be pushing into diabetic territory. I’d been drinking a lot of diet soda, and it seems like the second I got off that stuff most of those symptoms started fading away. Not entirely—I still get weird pins and needles sensations in my left arm while I’m sitting at my desk, which I guess I can chalk up to bad posture at this point. Palpitations are back on occasion, but that’s probably just me feeling my age.
It gets me wondering… Will I be remembered if something happens to me? If I suddenly fall off the face of the earth? I’d like to think that, even if I don’t finish them, people will still remember the stories I’ve created here. That maybe my friends will do something with my unfinished works, even if I’m not around to do it myself. I dunno. Existentialism hits hard in your mid 30s.
How are you all? <3

New Story!
Posted 5 months agoHey, I know the non-smutty stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I worked really hard on this one. It's honestly some of my best writing yet. If you could go check it (and the other related stories) out, I'd appreciate it. ♥

200 Twitch Followers! Smash or Pass~
Posted 5 months agoHi friends! Wanna know why I haven't gotten any writing done? >w>
I recently hit 200 followers on Twitch! It's been just about a year or so since I've started streaming, give or take, and this is the first milestone that really hits hard for me. 100 could have been a fluke. Even 150 seemed more like the generosity of strangers.
200... hits different. And I've made so many amazing friends along the way. ♥ It's only going to get better.
So, in celebration, I'm doing a Smash or Pass stream next week! And I'd love it if you all followed the X link below to add your OCs into the mix! Furry or not!

Megaplex 2025
Posted 5 months agoI'm checking the room availability multiple times per day for the con hotel. Hoping I get something. >o> I wanna see you all there this year~.
Name change done, also new story!
Posted 6 months agoDisplay Name Change Incoming!
Posted 6 months agoJust a quick forewarning: Now that this is a thing, I'll be changing my display name to Taci, probably tomorrow. It's the name I generally identify myself as online nowadays. >w>
Thank you!
Posted 6 months agoFffff I'm like two months behind on this, but thank you everyone who's favorited my content and watched me recently! I got stuck in a Space Station 13 obsession and didn't really do much with FA for a while. >o>
Should be a new story soon if I can keep myself at it!

Happy birthday to me~
Posted 9 months agoTikTok is banned! Best birthday present ever. ♥
One less source of brainrot and mind poison in the US. Maybe the rest of the world will follow suit.
Edit:
THEY BROUGHT IT BACK THIS IS THE WORST BIRTHDAY

Spelling is important.
Posted 9 months agoAnd I'm tired of people saying it's not.
This is a rant. You may ignore this rant if you like. This is simply the expressed frustration of a tired writer who, in his humble opinion, was part of one of the last generations to receive a proper education.
It seems that, as time goes on, people are becoming less and less literate. And the statistics prove it. I know why it's happening, but that understanding doesn't make me hate it any less.
The thing that pisses me off the most, however, is this excuse that people throw out for the illiterate part of our society: "Language is about intent. If you can understand it, who cares if it's said or spelled wrong?"
Why the fuck have grammatical rules at all, then? The very thing that kept us from grunting and gesturing vaguely at one another for literal thousands of years is now somehow unimportant?
Fuck you. Fuck you if you believe this. Learn to fucking spell.
And because I know some bleeding heart is going to bring it up: This only applies to native speakers. Obviously I'm not faulting ESL speakers for their mistakes.

Florida Furries and Good Trips
Posted a year agoAKA How I learned to stop worrying and drop acid during a furry convention.
Megaplex was a great time. <3 Roomed up with the cutest wickerbeast in the world, saw some good people, met some real cuties, and took a dive into the world of psychedellics.
Well, it was less of a dive and more of dipping my toes. I took a very small dose of LSD, and I'm still feeling the effects of the confidence boost it unlocked in me. All the woobliness and intoxication is gone, but I remember how it made me feel. That I am a flawed creature, but so is everyone, and we are beautiful because of these flaws, not in spite of them. It'd be awful boring if we were all perfect, thin, quirk-free gods and goddesses without a single thing to differentiate us besides colors and shapes. Society fetishizes certain body types, and a lot of people follow it as gospel. And that's alright, because you aren't going to meet most people. You aren't going to have to worry about what most people think about you. And even if the ones you do meet think you're too fat, or too old, or too tall or short, to be what you want... well... fuck 'em. Do what you want to change yourself if you dislike who or what you are, and anyone who has a problem with it is clearly not worth your time or energy.
I'm sure I'll slip back into my usual self-conscious self after some time. We all have a baseline, and I'm probably still well above mine because of my little trip, but I'll still remember the confidence boost. I'll still remember my complete and total ambivalence toward those who'd judge me for the shape of my body. And I'll remember to be alright again.
Drugs aside, I still had a great time while sober! The couple panels I went to were nice, and I managed to snag my first Bad Dragon toy as well. >//> It was awesome to see them there! Their staff are amazing, friendly, and funny, and I love that they were able to get to Megaplex! And of course, I got lots of snuggles in, hugged some fursuiters, met some beautiful people of whom I'm incredibly envious but also proud of for varying reasons, and just had a lot of guilt-free fun. I really needed this. <3

Off to Megaplex~
Posted a year agoSend me a note or add me on Discord (name is Taci) if you wanna hang out!
Megaplex Meetups~
Posted a year agoSo, since no one responds to journals anymore, I'll just drop my Megaplex details here:
My nametag will say TaciBren
I'll have a purple lanyard with a cute hobkin badge
I'll likely have a big red and black fox cloak thing on!
I may be in the company of a big pink wickerbeast~
And I'll be available on Discord as Taci
I'll also periodically check my FA notes and stuff, so if anyone's going and wants to meet up and say hi/hang out/whatever, lemme know!

Hey remember when
Posted a year agothe world's dumbest hacker made an enemy of furries and the most notorious doxxing site on the internet in one dumbass swoop?
That sure was weird.
That sure was weird.
You'll never "get it".
Posted a year agoVisual artists. You'll never understand the isolation and frustration of writers in an age of dwindling attention spans.
That's all. That's the journal.
That's all. That's the journal.
Backup, the future, musings...
Posted a year agoSo... Dragoneer, huh. Another victim of the times. Real sad to hear.
I never knew the guy. Sure didn't agree with some of the things that got plastered all over FA, or the behavior said things enabled, but this place has been home for... seventeen years.
Fuck.
Needless to say, backup everything you can't bear to lose. I just saved my entire gallery, as well as Majorra's. Weird to think that her page, the only thing that really stands in memorial to her, might disappear. I'll never stop making mention of her, though. ♥
As for me... I do still have a SoFurry page, which can be found here: https://anubuskiren.sofurry.com/
And Twitter/X here: https://x.com/ildac_s
And you can reach me on Discord as well, under this name: Taci
But I'm also considering Weasyl and other places. I'll want to repost the art I've commissioned or gotten as gifts, and SoFurry's UI isn't my favorite. Great place for writers, though! Heh, better than here, at any rate.
That's not to say I won't post here anymore, by the way. This is just a precaution.
Tell your friends and family you love them. Especially if they're sick. Especially if they're just getting through big procedures like surgery. Life has this funny way of giving us hope right before dashing it on the rocks.
And if this place does fade away, that doesn't mean the memories will. Keep creating. Keep loving creation. Make a new home, and plant something there that you got from here. In that way, you carry home with you wherever you go.
Fuck, why am I crying over this...

Posted a year agoBecause damn, I've basically had the same shitty non-centered disorganized layout for like fifteen frigging years. =w=
Hope this looks better!
Now all I need is to be able to change my fucking username. FA please. >.>
