Dragoneer's mother is going through the hardest time I can ever imagine right now, 'Neer's father passed two years ago, she lost her sister not long ago and now her only son is gone... I can not imagine what she is going though.
Plus, that $27k medical bill is looming on HER now (Cause all hospitals and medical anything are fucking remorseless and EVIL in the US) and funeral costs are stupidly expensive too.

Say and think what you want about Dragoneer, regardless of his fuck ups or good deeds, his mother doesn't deserve all that shit, doesn't deserve all this trauma or BS money hungry asshats that are our medical field.
Plus, FA needs you too, you all worried about FA and want FA to keep going? Help out, even $1 is a dollar more for everything.
Even giving moral support or spreading the word can help too am sure.

All the expenses and the GoFundMe page can all be found here:

I am shocked to say the lease... Dragoneer has passed away, I... Damn.

He's been around since "I" joined the community back in 2004, before FA was even a thing, used to see stuff he made/had gotten back on VCL, IRC and such places, I think he even had his own site domain then too. While I never met/spoke to him myself, it still kinda punched hard... I really wanted to meet him...
And say what you will how he ran FA but he was himself, one guy running the biggest furry site in the damned world.
He did his best as he could.
He kept it stable, kept it running and smooth for almost two decades now.

I send deepest condolences to his closest family and friends.
Rest well 'Neer... Least you're in a better place now and not in the failing earth anymore.

Rest In Peace, Dragoneer.
Thank you for everything you did for FA and the community for all these years.

So, everything is NOT going fine here...
Me and my family are in dire situations as this house is falling apart, the pipe leading to the septic tank collapsed so we have VERY minimal water drainage and if we do too much, it backflows.. Coupled with the roof is still damaged since 3 years ago from hail, the yad is growing out of control and our car is 15+ years old so it's a timebomb...
We have NO money to have anything fixed, everything goes to bills and cause everything is fucking gone up in price, we are sinking here in a place that is going to fall apart... IS falling apart, we NEED to move or fix this place but again, no funds for it.

Plus, being in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, being AN HOUR TO TWO HOURS away from our doctors and any, actual civilizations is also wrecking us in gas, wearing us out and our car since we have doc visits like every week.

I'm n a wheelchair with MS and my parents are elderly, mom in her 70's and dad in his 80's, NONE of us can fix or do much anymore, so we are in a BAD place currently.. Have been for a few years now but it's getting to the point is overwhelming us.
(I got pictures of the house to show how fucked it is)

So... I did what I never thought I'd do or NEEDED to do, made a gofundme to help us MOVE to a better place, or fix this place finally. I don't expect too much but every $ counts, but please if you or your closer friends/family need help more, do that first! Only give if you can or want.

I know this country is FUCKED currently for everyone so take care of yourselves before me.

Made it around for another year, +1 in age again.

Woooo, I guess?

*blows a party horn/blower*

SO, I am kind of in a mild crisis as I am nearly -$100 in my account, I bought something on the 27th for $22 when it wasn't all there, that's on ME, okay yeah L for me.
But with the overdraft fees I should only be at -50 but they said there were two charges on the 28th which are NOT in my bank statements, ALL I see is two extra overdraft few charges... They aren't concerned about it as me, sure the two charges were a $3 and $5 things but still... I didn't buy anything, my family, didn't buy anything so... Yeah, bank just being all "Oh well, you must have did it, sorry bye" isn't helpful too..
I can't really GO there either cause, ya know, in a wheelchair so yeah, really fucked right now and pissed.

More at their incompetence but also being out $100 next month.
I hate money, fucks the world up so much.

Hope everyone stays safe out there and gets lots of treats! <3

Just try to not BE the treats~ ;3

So yeah, made one so go follow if you want and are there too.

I hate doing more negative journals but gawd damn it, life is being a BITCH, more so when I was down already.

So, my foodstamps is on hold for whenever cause they needed things and were given such, LAST MONTH and now it's the 11th when I usually get my EBT (foodstamp currency) aaaaaaand... Nothing, 5 hours of not being able to get anyone on phone, finally do and they said "Oh, yes we have all we need, we just don't have anyone to activate it right now, we will try to get it done when we can."

REALLY? You fucks have no one to send my foodstamp money to my EBT card for a MONTH now? So yeah, there is that currently so no foodstamps.

THEN, my actual debit card is fucked, my bank never mailed my new card (since last one expired last month) or if they did, was lost in the black void that is the U.S. Mail service.
So, now have to wait for them to mail me a thing that has a new card but not functional yet, as well as a thing that basically says I am me, activate my card. Send that back to them via (the shitty) mail and hope things go well and they will make the card be turned on and useable.
SO I have NO card and anyway to pay for things outside paypal (which I can't do at stores, amazon or whatever as I have no paypal card)

So yeah... Fuuuuuuuuuck our government, banks and all this BS, hate how complicated and "fuck you" everything is to people.

Many may or may not know but I usually wear a smile 90% of the time, as I am usually always depressed but I hide it cause I don't like ruining the days of my friends and such with my dark clouds of negativity.

Sadly, the smile I wear gets cracks and those cracks keep getting longer as time goes... Leading to my actual feels coming out, like now.
This is nothing new though, this has just been building for YEARS, since I was like 20-21yo but with how life has chosen the road I am on just has been making it grow worse. Yes the whole MS (multiple sclerosis), being wheelchair bound unable to walk was hit on me but what really has been weighing on me is everything else around that.

Like... I don't know why I am even in the community still, I don't write nor can I draw anymore (MS again), I hardly RP anymore, buying commissions is even becoming a rarity as I never have the funds for them unless NOTHING happens and I save for like months beforehand as I only get MAYBE $100 a month (after all the bills and such) so use on my self, IF nothing else pops up... Soooooo besides just faving things and the occasional comment, not really doing anything.

I'm in so many servers in discord that I rarely, if EVER say or do anything in and I know so many people I almost never talk too which I HATE, and if you're one of them seeing this, I am honestly sorry we don't talk as much as we or I'd like.
I've know so many who've just kinda left or faded away from friendship cause of this.

All I do nowadays is watch Youtube or play video games, I don't hardly do much in the furry community, FA or whatever so dunno why am in it, I can't go to furry meets/cons which was something I always wanted to do last once. *shrugs*
I have characters I haven't/can't do anything with, Kade, my Indominus Rex I had since 2015 and took 5-6 years before I got anything with him and same will likely happen to my newest dragon Ayzen.

I'm sorry if this sours peoples vore day or just day in general, didn't mean for it too but just needed to express how I feel I don't have any worth in the community anymore, I know I'll have friends who say other wise but doesn't change how I feel.
Been in the furry community since 2004 and I guess after these almost 20 years, I've grown and hit the peak of my time in it years ago and guessing i'm on the downward slope of it now.

I know this is just one big whine-fest of a "oh woe is me" rant but I don't care, I just want and needed to say things, I'm tired of always holding things in and my depression ever growing each year isn't helping.

Hope you all have a good day/night, don't let my ramblings ruin things for you, stay happy and such.
I'm not going to hurt myself or do something stupid so don't worry, just not feeling all too happy or worth much currently.

Edit: Made a new journal so y'all can comment, if you wanted.

Messed up, new journal is posted on this.

Happy Vore Day everyone, hope you have a good and full day ^^

This artist is holding an art raffle to celebrate their 700 followers, they do really awesome stuff so check em out!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52521282/

Yeah, with my disability monthly funds ALL going to bills, gas and groceries, I made a Ko-Fi...
My inner modesty is RAGING at me but yeah, no one is obligated to donate or support, just something to have a little extra to have for ME now and then.

I almost will draw again, mostly sketches and line-arts as coloring is just... Ehh for me now with everything, I'm thinking posting such things a month or two on there before posting here, a little incentive maybe to GET me to draw again too.

So yeah... Feel free to look at it.

Soooo... Let me grasp my head around this fuckstorm.

Instead of a NORMAL idea of making sure these characters are of age, going through to make sure everyone is all proper...
Lets just NUKE all these Pokemon and Digimon, banned forever and fuck over ALL the artists and community who identify as these 'mons.
What about Sonic characters or MLP?

Nope, we don't care if they are aged 30 and such, that you've got like years of backstory for them and all that, they are canon babies so NO more of them.
BUT! You can have MINORS in/be involved with vore, pregnancy and TF art! Yes, actual minors! Wanna see a 13 year boy be eaten or be pregnant or TF'd into something? Go ahead! As long as it's no NSFW it's all good!

..................

What the FUCK is that!? NO, that is some hypocrisy BS here, you can't be all "we are doing this to fight pedos and keep kids safe" then turn and be all "Yeah, go wild with minors in FETISHES as long as it's non-sexual."

ALSO, if that IS the case... WHY are the listed pokemon/digimon banned? Y'all just said minors are a-okay in vore and other works long as it's not NSFW riiight? But YOU said these pokemon/digimon in the list are minors (in your headcanon) soooo... Shouldn't they not be banned according to your OWN words?
(Proof the owners of FA dunno what the fuck they are saying/doing)

I swear the ownership of FA are losing their grips and are stumbling over their own bullshit now.
It's getting so pathetic now... It's more depressing than anger inducing with how stupid the ownership has become.

I'll leave the AVGN to sum it ALL up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxZmiVUQksA

Thought I'd share the other places I (or will try to) frequent, again I'm NOT leaving FA but wanna give those who do alternatives to see me.
Here y'all go.

Seeing the new policy changes, FA is about to explode something fierce.

It's a shame, already seeing MANY artist I follow/love whom have small (adult) characters leaving and being affected, not much to do but watch the meltdown.

I feel bad for everyone with digimon/pokemon on characters, also what about Kobolds? It's so damn stupid.
Not too mention, this is kind of a dick move for short people... Like, let's say a furry is like 3 feet or such, they can be "perceived" as young but are well adults, well FA is like nope change and tall or you'll b banned for being underage.
When that fursona's owner, is an actual small person whom are 3 feet or such IRL whom wanted their sona to match them, well screw em right? That's a bit far and I doubt it'll be THAT extreme but regardless...
It's a shame... I've been here since 2006, those were golden years of FA and now it's so dark and corrupted with this BS.

I'll be dusting off other accounts and the such, will make a journal with where all else to find me if needed.
I am NOT leaving FA (yet) so don't worry, will still be posting art and following and all that jazz.

Yes, FA said they are basically doing this with the "best intensions" but as Alan Grant said in JP3:
"Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions."

Enjoy all the noms everyone~
Be it your friends or you as a meal for your pals~

Welp, I had to delete some submissions like when I got eaten by Guilmon as APPEARENTLY, in FA's lovely wisdom, are changing their User Agreement Policy that basically states if you have any kind of vore or other fetishes that would otherwise be SFW including a minor or minor character (Like Spyro, Guilmon, or any Pokemon even) then you can be banned simply for the act of having it.

This is stupid, sure battling against pedos on here am ALL for that yes, also fine with actual minor characters not being shown cause it's messed up but REALLY? Going THIS far?

So yeeeeah... Will be looking for any other art site now, also if you have ANY art involving any digimon, pokemon, spyro or whatever... Best remove it.

Hope everyone has a safe new years and a great 2023!
