Curiosity!
General | Posted 4 years agoSo, yesterday, on the unit suggestion journal, someone made a valid point. A lot of my stories and such deal with pretty obscure characters and games. I originally started writing so I could put a spotlight on more obscure characters, whether that be Pokemon you don't usually see, or characters from obscure games. I honestly never really considered that it was kind of dense for outsiders... so, I want to see how other people feel about it.
Do you think my stuff is too dense for newcomers, or should I just do whatever? At the end of the day, I don't want to alienate my fans...

Suggestions?
General | Posted 4 years agoHey! Hope you guys are liking the Gassy Frontier series so far! Currently, I have plans for a few more entries, but if you guys have any units you'd like to suggest, I'll consider 'em! Ideally, I'd like links to the wiki page so I know what form you're thinking.
Regret.
General | Posted 4 years agoUnfortunately, me and

This Suffering: A Vent Journal
General | Posted 4 years agoI've done some... stupid things in the past. I first started socializing in the furry community on Kik, when I was 13. Back then, the only writing I did was edgy teen poetry on Tumblr. I was known as "TheShinyUmbreon".
The bulk of the issues that caused this journal, though, didn't happen until I joined Discord. I was still a teenager, about 16, and... wow. I was opinionated, rude, toxic, all that crap. Starting drama and arguments because I thought it was the best way to express myself. This continued for about... four years. I would slowly mellow out, but I was still bad.
Then, the event happened, and the way I treated others was thrown up to a harsh spotlight. I had thought that I was better than I was before, but I was ultimately only hurting myself and the people I cared about. Not only that, but I was hurting my boyfriend at the time, Error.
Error is the purest person I have ever met. Not just in this fandom, or even just online. He is a pure baby boy, and even though we aren't dating anymore, I still want to protect him. That's all I've wanted to do since we met.
Unfortunately, that "protection" manifested as smothering him. I thought I was helping, but ultimately, I treated him just as bad as I was treating everyone else back then. Misguided holier-than-thou bullshit.
Once I realized this, I decided to work on it. Even now, two years later, I'm still trying to deal with the aftermath of my bad choices when I was younger.
Whenever I message anyone new, I have to be aware of the fact that they've probably heard of me. Sometimes, it's "oh, you're DarkType! I love your stuff!" Sometimes it's "oh, you're the Pokemon guy." And sometimes, it's "oh, you're that guy."
People I haven't even met before hate me because of rumors they've heard from people who haven't spoken to me in years. Whenever Captain mentions that he's dating me, odds are high that the person will reply with "isn't he an asshole?" He has had to defend me multiple times, and we've only been dating for a couple weeks.
It isn't even just when I message people. Sometimes these people seek me out. They'll add me, or get my friends to introduce us. They'll pretend to be my friend or a fan. Then, after a bit, usually a week or two, they'll be like "oh, by the way, I hate you. I never actually wanted to be your friend, I just wanted to see if you're as bad as my friends say." Then, they'll block me. This has happened three times in the last couple months alone. Sometimes, they even tell me to kill myself.
Some people even tell me that I'm holding my friends back. They message the people I work with to try to "expose" me to them. They use rumors and lies to turn even my own friends against me. People I've known for years just turn around and tell me to fuck off.
It's really hard to trust anyone, even people who are my friends. It feels like, at any moment, they could turn around and tell me they never really liked me.
I understand that these are the consequences of my actions, but how am I supposed to grow beyond the mistakes of my past if they're constantly brought up at every turn? How am I supposed to get over the mental issues of distrust and paranoia that led me to be a toxic asshole, if everyone just treats me like I never changed? Is there any hope that I could ever be more than just the person I used to be in the eyes of anyone?
Sometimes, it feels like I should just... give up, y'know?

Desperation!
General | Posted 4 years agoOkay! So! I like collecting cards, especially foils, and the site I use for Magic cards has a bunch of cards I REALLY want. So! I am opening to commishes from the public, with a special offer! Usually, I do $30 per story, or $100 for five stories, but! Until they're out of the cards I want, I will double the amount of stories you get if you pay over $100. If interested, message me on:

My Story, or: Why I Write!
General | Posted 4 years agoEight years ago, when I first sat down to write a story, one I wanted to post, it was a small story about a character from an RP I was doing with a friend. No one really liked it, least of all the guy I was doing the RP with. I guess the moral is that you should ask what someone's into before you write them a kink story.
Later on, I decided I would try to write stories that people would like. I wanted to do more than post art I'd commissioned. I did the original Desperasriel as a gift for Nooplip, who went on to leave the community (pour one out for a real one). After that, I kinda struggled along, writing sub-par trash on a schedule of about once every couple months. I was stuck, and no one really followed me except my friends.
Then, one day, about three years ago... I met Error. I liked his art, and wanted to collaborate on a story about Asriel, since he was my favorite subject at the time. It went well, and that blossomed into a few more collabs, culminating in the first entry for the Gassydex. With every consecutive entry, more people started paying attention to our work. We both grew in popularity, extremely fast. My watcher count tripled in the first year alone. It's still going up, even after Error has decided he doesn't want to be part of the future of the series.
Originally, I wanted a reason to post more. A fire under my ass, a drive to make more stories. Perhaps if I made more stories... I'd make more friends as a result. I've always struggled with finding my own identity, and I thought maybe this could be that. I could be "the Gassydex guy". This led to some really regrettable choices on my end. My ego grew too fast, and I became an arrogant asshole. I treated everyone like shit, even the man I loved...
This went on for about a year and a half, until one fateful day. After a series of really bad decisions on both of our parts, we decided to break up. The series would keep going, but we wouldn't work together as much. The series entered a kind of limbo, living on borrowed time. It wasn't until late last year that I finally solidified what I wanted as the future of my account.
Now, up until around the time me and Error broke up... I was suffering from extreme depression. Every day felt like a challenge I wasn't ready to face, another step towards the shapeless void that was the uncertain future. One more step in the march towards my inevitable demise. I didn't have a reason to live.
Then, something happened. I learned two things:
1) Life may be an endless march towards the grave, but it doesn't have to be meaningless.
2) If I took the steps towards ending the march that I was envisioning, I wouldn't be ending the suffering. I would be simply transmitting my despair to my friends and family.
I decided that it was time to give myself a meaning.
I decided to set a goal with my stories, collaborations, commissions, everything I post. When I look over the popular stuff in this community, it's the same handful of characters, Pokemon, whatever. The same scenarios, the same plots, the same outcomes. Homogeneous, boring, repetitive. I wanted to create something that would stick out, a way to show everyone that they don't have to just like what the popular people tell them to. A grand series, all by request, using characters that everyone else ignores. A way to show people that they can see the things they like without forking over $100 per story.
Unfortunately, I didn't stop and consider the consequences of such grand ambitions. I threw away what I wanted, because I thought that it would all come together. It didn't. I'd done nothing but put together a gilded cage for my fragile self-esteem. I put what everyone else wanted before anything, even my own mental health. I was throwing myself into another downward spiral. I hid my feelings, fantasies, kinks... everything. I pretended to be someone I wasn't, deluded into thinking that I had some grand design.
Well, today... I'm not letting that happen again. I am NOT some grand hero, I'm not saving the community. I'm just me. My self-esteem should not be attached to some random porn series I'm writing. That's unhealthy, and I recognize that now. As such, I have a statement.
From now on, I will be doing what I want to do. The stories, characters, scenarios, kinks, everything! I will make the content that makes me happy, and if that happens to make others happy too... then so be it. This is my gallery. I am nothing but myself. Nothing more, nothing less.
From now on, I will be myself. I won't act like I'm some flawless being, because I'm not. So, please, allow me to introduce myself.
I struggle with anxiety, paranoia, and depression. I constantly worry that people are simply tolerating me, and I'm always waiting for the moment when their patience runs out. I don't like myself, so I can't see why anyone else would, either. I am 22 years old, male, and asexual. I don't like sex, because it makes me uncomfortable.
I am not a hero, or a savior. I am Zane. I'm done being who everyone else wants me to be, or who I think I want to be.

Gassydex Update!
General | Posted 4 years agoHave you ever wanted to request a Pokemon for the series, but weren't sure if I would say no? Well, good news! After about four hours of going through every single Pokemon, including alternate forms, CaptainfluffybuttSpacePirate and I have made a list. Ranging from "Definitely" to "NO", with a bonus section for "???", you now have a safe way to see if you should request whatever Pokemon!

Apologies.
General | Posted 4 years agoI would like to formally apologize to everyone who talks to me expecting to have a conversation about Pokemon farts, and instead gets a long speech about how the Ultra Beasts are the best thing to ever happen to the franchise, and then seventy seperate gifs of Xurkitree dancing.
Change of Plans!
General | Posted 4 years agoSo! The region I live in is entering a third full lockdown. I am not going through the isolation of being stuck alone again, so I'm going to be staying with family for a bit. I'm unsure how long "a bit" is, but until then, I probably won't be able to work on full stories. I should (hopefully) still be able to do short-form things, like entries for series.
Apologies.
Apologies.
Status Update VS The World: The Movie: The Game
General | Posted 4 years agoSo! I haven't posted in a bit, due to family stuff, but I figured I'd give an update on my plans.
A new collab for the series is planned, with someone I've wanted to work with for a while. Expect this around a week from now.
An entry for a "new" series is planned for some time next month, featuring something entirely different from anything I've done before now.
I have tons of collabs planned with a certain boy, so be prepared to stand up confused once those are finished!
I want to do a story to experiment with something more in line with my... darker fantasies, so be warned of that. It'll be even more extreme than the masterpiece was.
Finally, I received a variety of commissions when I temporarily opened to them a bit ago, so expect those to start coming out at some point in the near future. They cover a good range of kinks and scenarios, including some things I've never done before! Here's hoping I can pull them off!

I Have Returned (to Kik)
General | Posted 5 years agoAfter a few years of absence, I have decided I will be on Kik again. As usual, feel free to add and speak with me whenever. My username is, as always, Furrierthanthou.
Curiosity
General | Posted 5 years agoSo, I'm unsure how to feel about this. For my earliest works, I used onomatopoeia (FRRRTTTT), but I tried to grow out of it for my more serious works, because I know some people are... rather picky about that kinda thing.
On the other hand, personally, I don't mind stories that use them. So, out of curiosity (that's the name of the journal!), can you guys give me your thoughts on the matter?

Resolutions
General | Posted 5 years agoYeah, yeah. I know I'm late.
For this year, my resolutions are to..!
- be a better person.
- make more friends.
- lose less friends.
- move on from the shadows of the past.
- reach 1000 watchers.
Even though I know I've improved over the last year, I also know I'm far from perfect. This resolute knowledge brings me the comfort of a future where I can keep growing. I will never stop getting better, in relationships and mental health.
Here's to a better year than any that has come before, full of fun, friends, collaborations, and happiness!
I love all of you so much.

The Sequel!

Moving Forward!
General | Posted 5 years agoAlright, take two!
When we first started the Gassydex back in June of 2019, we didn't expect to make it this far. We didn't have any plans to end it, of course, but I doubt I would have believed someone if they told me I'd be pushing 140 entries within two years.
We started out doing multiple entries daily, but that only lasted a few weeks. We decided to slow down, and moved to try once a week. Of course, that also didn't work.
Despite slowing down drastically in recent times (twice within a week is considered insane), we are still going strong. If anything, I'd say the slower upload speed means each entry can be longer than anything the old model could have provided. Every entry is longer than a whole batch would have been.
In fact, to my knowledge, despite our production issues, we are the most consistent and longest ongoing series of this kind of all of FA. If I'm wrong, let me know, but I'm unaware of another series that even approaches our length. Over 100 entries, and we're still improving with every passing entry?
Well, as we approach the second year since we started, I am proud to announce that I have no plans to stop anytime soon! I have lots of friends who want to provide art for entries, and I have more surprises beyond that planned!
Even if every other series I've tried has crashed and burned before it even reached 20 entries (R.I.P., Gassy Arcade), the Gassydex will always be my main project.
Here's to another year and a half of amazing entries, with amazing art and stories! Thank you, to all of you, for enjoying our hard work!
And a big, special thank you, to TheOmegaError. Thank you for making art for my silly idea to begin with. Even as you leave the series behind, I will always consider you my co-pilot.

Well, as we approach the second year since we started, I am proud to announce that I have no plans to stop anytime soon! I have lots of friends who want to provide art for entries, and I have more surprises beyond that planned!
Even if every other series I've tried has crashed and burned before it even reached 20 entries (R.I.P., Gassy Arcade), the Gassydex will always be my main project.
Here's to another year and a half of amazing entries, with amazing art and stories! Thank you, to all of you, for enjoying our hard work!
And a big, special thank you, to
TheOmegaError. Thank you for making art for my silly idea to begin with. Even as you leave the series behind, I will always consider you my co-pilot.Stressed Out
General | Posted 5 years agoOkay. I've wanted to get this out there for a while, now. I try to keep drama away from my page, for the sake of all the amazing people who watch me, but I just... I'm so anxious.
First things first. I've done some stupid things. I was an edgy, abrasive, argumentative idiot, and I hurt a lot of people. I burned a lot of bridges. I've lost so many friends to my idiocy.
I just... I want to say I'm sorry. To everyone. I know you probably aren't watching me if you hate me, and even if you are, the odds of you reading this journal are pretty low.
I know I was a jerk. I'm not even sure I've actually grown out of it, but I do know that I'm trying to improve. If you could ever take the time to give me another chance to make up with you... it would mean the world to me.
I just... really struggle with putting my emotions into words. Ironic, I know. All I want is friends, and people who like me. That's why I write stuff. That's why I reach out to so many people to collaborate. I just want friends... but sometimes, it feels like I don't deserve them. Every time I sit back and think about how nice it is to have the friends I do, a small voice in my head tells me I don't deserve them. That I'm just a worthless idiot playing pretend.
I worry that I'm just... a flash in the pan. No one really likes me. I worry that once I stop making stuff people like, everyone will just... abandon me.
I am so happy with the friends I have. Everyone who supports me, and tells me they like me. I love all of you, so much! I just... can't shake the fear that it's all going to fall apart at any moment. I'm always waiting for a stupid thing I did in the past to come barreling in and shatter my temporary happiness like glass. I know these are the consequences of my actions... but I'm so scared.
To the people who just like me because I make hot stories... I'm sorry for wasting your time. I'll keep trying my best to live up to your attention. I promise.
