My Absence
General | Posted 7 years agoHey everyone.
So, I haven't really been on much lately. I'm alright, happy and good. I'm just feeling a lot more withdrawn lately, and afraid to reach out. The world and everything in life has me on edge, and I have trouble keeping up with messages and friends online. I don't get on for 4 days and then get nervous I'll have to explain why I didn't reply for four days, so I don't answer them and now it's 5 days and it snowballs. People guilting me for not being around all the time make it stressful for me to check messages, tbh.
I'm not leaving the fandom or anything. Just needing to have more space than I did before, at least for now. I still love to talk to you when I have the chance. Just don't be a dick about response times. <3

So... I've been busy >.>
General | Posted 7 years agoHey everyone!
Life has been hectic for me the last few weeks. There was like a 4 day period where I didn't get on Telegram AT ALL. So I'm sorry if you have messaged me and I seemingly completely ignored you. I THINK this wacky busy period will subside once September is over. Thank you all for being so awesome. <3

FurAffinity isn't as terrible as we all thought. This is progress. Progress is possible, you guys. We don't all have to abandon ship.
Much like America is right now, this site is run by a few far right aligned, nazi-apologist, anti-PC persons. Yet the majority of Americans (and users on FA!) are good people who do not identify with these groups and want equality for all. We want Nazi symbols banned. We want furryraiders and alt-right members to cower in fear instead of being out in the open.
This isn't what we all wanted, which was a ban of all Nazi symbols, in fiction or otherwise, but it's an important first step. It proves the staff of FA are open to changes in policy. We can continue to strive for the community to be better.
Ideally we could all migrate to another site, but the fandom is so disjointed with the sole exception of FA. So many artists and content creators rely on FA as their source of income and can't risk just leaving it entirely. But I think this is a harbinger of things to come. They feel the pressure. Maybe things will work out in the end?
Ps for every comment I get that antifa is a terrorist organization, I laugh a little harder. If you believe that you're stupid. Simply put. You are stupid and probably alwaya will be. Go back to 3rd grade and then maybe try reading real news and not propaganda. :P

Apologies for absence
General | Posted 8 years agoI'm so sorry to anyone I may have slighted the past few months. I have been so busy I haven't had time for much interaction. I feel I've neglected and distanced myself from some folks, especially new ones, that wanted to chat with me. I want to chat with all of youuuuuu. <:3
Again, my apologies if I've snubbed anyone. You're all awesome and I wish I could do nothing but chat and hang with you guys all the time but.... Now that Ive graduated I must learn to balance online and furry stuff with being an adult, with a job and responsibilities. (Boooo) 👎
Anyway, feel free to HMU on telegram whenever (Yes, YOU! The person reading this! I'm talking about you!)
I'm aiming to be on more.

Obligatory "Merry Christmas" Journal
General | Posted 8 years agoMerry Christmas to everyone!
2017 was a great year for me, I got my master's degree, got a significant raise at work, made new friends IRL and in the fandom, and learned a lot about myself this past year. Besides the horrible garbage politics happening because of president dumbass, it was a great year, and a period of major growth for me. ( 😉 HA CHA CHA CHA macrojoke... but seriously, I feel I grew a lot as a person.)
Everybody have a lovely holiday and a happy new year! ♡

Another new rule - Body Positivity
General | Posted 8 years agoIf you put someone down when they call themself cute, or hot, or sexy, then we will NEVER be friends. Let people feel free to feel good about their appearance. It's really, really easy to not be a dick. Just don't.
Please promote body positivity, don't say "it's a bad idea to call yourself cute" as one person did today. People can call themselves whatever the fuck they want.
I am totally taking what occured too far, but it really pissed me off for some reason. Probably because it took me a long time to love my body and be comfortable in my pudge, and it's the casual skeptical comments like "you think you're cute?" which cause problems to begin with.
It's fine to not be attracted to certain body types, just don't be a dick about it.

Ask me anything
General | Posted 8 years agoI am so fucking BORED
Entertain me, peasants! *muahahaha*
Entertain me, peasants! *muahahaha*
Lots of things ♡
General | Posted 8 years agoHey everybody! I hope all of you who are reading this are doing well.
I'm doing fantastic! I got my master's degree in music yesterday!!! ^_^
It's a really exciting time in my life, and I'm really proud of myself. I have some vague plans for what I'm going to do with my degree, but for now I just want to relax. I've been in school my whole life, Kindergarten to now my 7th year in college, without a break (well, summer breaks between years), and I'm sooooooo ready to not have an academic mindset for a while. To just live life and adult, not be a student.
I want to work and make the $$$, chat with you furry folks, and watch netflix for a while. I'm exhausted and I've earned it, haha.
Also might try and go to cons. Depends on where and when. There are a few people I'd really love to meet.
In other news, I accidentally deleted all my submission comments which really fucking annoyed me, so if you commented on something of mine that isn't one of my newest submissions, I apologize if I don't reply... It's also annoying because I sometimes keep comments/replies from other people's stuff if I want to remember to chat with them sometime or remember to commission them at some point, etc. So that was annoying. Argh
Lastly! I'm still always on the lookout for new co-commissioners, (more looking for micros to play with than other macros), so if you're interested don't hesitate to let me know.
Especially for a few ideas;
●If you're into being on the receiving end of gore.
●If your character would play as Light Yagami. (Would explain details of my idea later.)
●If your character would play as Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!.
●If you're into being humiliated. Got so many ideas for how to do that to micro runts.
Again, this would be a 50/50 arrangement. I ain't a charity.
If you talk to me on telegram, you will be seeing me more often once again in these next few days.

Looking for more friends, especially for commissions
General | Posted 8 years agoHey everybody. I graduate in less than 2 weeks, and I'm basically done. I'm really proud of myself. ^_^
I'lI be on Telegram and able to chat more often soon, and I was wondering if there are any micros or macros out there interested in sharing a commission with my character. That'd mean splitting the cost 50/50.
I am looking for new friends in general, too, but very much interested in more people to have in art with. I mostly get art with the same 7 or 8 friends, so more character variety would be awesome. And of course, making new friends!
Let me know if you're interested. Anyone is always free to telegram me @ Banryu.

ATTENTION! Angry PSA from Banryu.
General | Posted 8 years agoIf you support Donald Trump and agree with his decisions as president of the United States, please unfollow me! :3
Unfavorite everything of mine. Stop enjoying the art I paid for with my hard earned money and look at somebody else's shit.
Normally not into drama, but this is not Furry Drama, just regular drama.
If you like Trump, I don't want you.
Kthx bai
I love this so much
General | Posted 8 years agoLeaving the fandom forever
General | Posted 8 years agoJust kidding, April Fools. MADE YOU LOOK

NEW RULE
General | Posted 8 years agoIf anyone who I consider a friend tries to talk to me about why circumcision is bad, or why circumcision is good, or about restoration or any of that shit, then we are not friends anymore. I'm done.
I don't argue about it, and I am pretty neutral. But after seeing people issue death threats to one another in one of the telegram chats that I'm in, I don't ever want to hear about it again. Asking if I'm cut or uncut is fine, but I don't want to get into this garbage. People are so divisive about it. A dick is a dick, shut the fuck up and enjoy it.

Top 5, ASK ME ANYTHING thing
General | Posted 9 years agoPure Rage & Frustration, plz advise
General | Posted 9 years agoI need advice. I'm super mega frustrated.
Also, just want to vent about this issue.
I commissioned a certain artist in July of 2016.
I have yet to see a sketch from them, and they have yet to even contact me after the initial payment & my explanation of what I wanted for the commission.
This artist takes on more commissions every single month.
They take money from people, promising them art, even though lots of folks (I'm not the only one), have been waiting 6+ months for art. One guy I spoke to said it had been over a year and a half since he made payment, and he had never even received a sketch yet.
This artist continues to post art, very slowly, maybe 2 or 3 pics a month.
And their profile even says they probably won't do art in the order paid, but more "in the order they feel like." I'm paraphrasing, but that's essentially it.
And, on top of that, the few times I have voiced my concern, they basically shoot me down and get very passive aggressive with me.
I don't mind waiting a long time for art, that isn't what bothers me.
What bothers me is their careless attitude toward their patrons, and how they take on 10 more commissions when people have been waiting a year+ for their art.
Maybe finish your first candy bar before you open another one, hm?
Also, I am telling every close friend in the fandom not to commission this person. I've already convinced one friend who was going to commission them someday, NOT to do so because of my experience. Artists have to have some responsibility for their patrons and commissioners.
This is a somewhat well known vore/micromacro artist, but I shan't post their name here and cause drama. If you want to know, note me here or message me on Telegram.
It's unfortunate, this is the first negative experience I've had with commissioning art.

BANRYU IS GOING TO FURTHER CONFUSION
General | Posted 9 years agoI only write in caps because I love you.
FC will be my first furry convention.
I'll be in way over my head. Never been to one, gawrsh I'm excited, but nervous and unsure what to expect. Luckily I'll have some experienced con-going friends there to show me around. If anybody is going and wants to meet me there, lemme know! 83

Holy SHIT! Thank you, everybody!
General | Posted 9 years agoSome things I have to say!!/TMI Tuesday
General | Posted 9 years agoI have over 6,000 page views. whoa. Almost 3,000 favorites on my 48 commissions. AND, wow! I have 48 commissions.
Plus almost 450 people watching me.
I'm popular! Sort of.
I wanna thank everyone who has ever commented on one of my pics, or faved one or watched me or anything. I'm so happy that the weird fetishy stuff I commission is of interest to so many others. MACROmicro Yay!
I just started commissioning stuff in June. Now I'm addicted. It's so much fun to get art of my character doing.... big things to smaller things.
Anyway. Thanks again, you guys. I like being validated. :D
Lastly, let's do a TMI Tuesday. Ask me anything, No restrictions. Macro/micro questions are highly encouraged. :3
