I don’t know what to think or say. He followed my twitter and we talked on FA and he was the nicest person I met but we didn’t talk nearly as much as other folks. I hope to God the person who did this gets brought to justice and the justice system does the right thing. I’ll try to update this when I get more info.

Here is is FA if you want to leave your respect https://www.furaffinity.net/user/fangride/

- Pretty much the only good things in this year was that I got to run my first con panel ever since FC was in January and pre covid shutdown. It was just my own little inflatable meet and tucked in a corner which was ok. I even got ABU to show up and give away pamps!

- The only other good thing was that I got to make a RL toy run after 4 years of trying. The fact that Skipper became idea to reality in 7 months is absolutely incredible but I’m glad that my idea of affordable, easily accessible toys is shared by others. The happiness he has brought others makes me almost more happy then him existing at all! The other thing that I’m very proud of it that he’s the first dinosaur sona toy and I’m the first open AB/DL to make a toy run and that is great and I can’t wait to make more toys for the community!

- My goal for next year is to make another sona toy and sell it just like Skipper, affordable,accessible and glossy and but we shall see. I would also like to find a designer that is chill with me and thus could become my go to toy designer but I haven’t found anyone

- A personal goal would be to get an inflatable suit of Zoran but if I were it would be instead of a fursuit since Zoran is inflatable himself. Originally I was going to Hongyi because I thought they were the only ones but I discovered that Belie does as well so I might try them. I also want to make a possible one off toy with a character of mine being the same size as the IW fox rider to more or less test Belie since I’ve never gone to them before.

- Art wise I would love to get an animation but the only people I’ve wanted one from don’t do it as a regular thing or passed me over last time they opened for them.Also have my new guy Watherwax in more art but I’m not sure if he’s going to wear diapers or not (or at least regularly)and really I should cut down on diapers as a whole or at least limit it. There are also people I wish I could get art from but sadly I never will for one reason or another and it would be cool to get art from them but fuck that.

- Also silly to wish but I wish people in general would be more accepting and try to clarify instead of being judgemental and sometimes hostile because someone is different.....

So I’ve noticed that people have telegram channels(not chats) for whatever is on their mind and I made one too if anyone is interested. Mine will be pretty much the same kinda stuff and that could be anything from art to RL, SFW,NSFW, raffles and polls and maybe even toy announcements since I want to make more! It also has a linked chat to ask questions,shoot the breeze and it will be how I pick raffle winners.

Oh yeah now you know my project partner in this!

You heard that right! I’ve been working on this since February and I have a project partner and almost everything figured out! It’s skipper for this one and not Zoran and he’s built and being sold like IW/HP toys so he’s on the smaller side and is going to be affordable. Now what I need to know is that my project partner wants to make and sell 200 of them instead of the 100 originally planed as he not only gets a better price but the buyer would as well and it would give more people the opportunity to get one too but he wants to judge interest and if there is enough he’ll add 100 more! I set up a channel on my telegram with a poll and some information and factory pics of the prototype and it also links to my group I have that you can join to ask questions,stay in the know etc. I hope you guys like him!

So a while ago someone from Japan on twitter posted these really awesome Dino pamps And I immediately went on the hunt. I searched the brand Unicharm which has several sub brands with their nighttime pants called Oyasumimam and their training pants called Trepanman. I know this won’t go anywhere but I would love to find someone to help me get 2 packs of each with the dinosaur theme or at least find a place that could be a proxy since I can’t find anything anywhere and I’d love to have them for my collection since dino diapers are awesome. Either way here the links to what I could find and if anyone does want to help I’d be so grateful and you’d get credit here and payed for your time obviously!

I’ve had it for a while but I feel like advertising it now because it’s one of the only kind on all of telegram and it’s not very active and every once in a while I do exclusive things for the group and sometimes announce things there first before anything else. I allow art,RL,SFW,NSFW and pretty much everything! My only rules are no messy diapers and no popping of inflatables along with the obvious things. I hope to see many new folks and bring life to the group!

Stay squeaky and squishy!

Not a real one mind you but I want to make one of these lofty art ideas real(still looking for someone to draw a Dragon pilot OC By the way) I would like Zoran to fly but as he’s a T-Rex he can’t obviously and the suit is my way he will. Now what sets it apart is that in order to stay airborne I want him to have jets but that’s where I’m stuck. Should they be underneath? Flush with the wining?2,4 or 6? Spread out or clustered? Now unlike most of my art this and the ideas with this concept would be serious and non sexual but there would be a diaper outline in the suit but it wouldn’t be seen other then the outline.

The other idea I have will be it’s own journal but is very much connected to this idea but I want to do them one at a time.

So my Birthday is Thursday and my plan was (don’t laugh) that I wanted to go to ikea and do things up north during the day and even have my birthday dinner up there but because I never thought the world would be so dumb I never made backup plans so my birthday is ruined. The ikea is in Palo Alto which is closed since it’s in Santa Clara county which locked itself down which sitting here I think is insanely fucking stupid. How are they going to enforce it? Shoot you if you’re walking around? It’s not just that though as I’ve been working 3 weeks straight (including weekends)and was going to get that day off for some R&R as doing construction for almost a month with no break has taken its toll. Even more important although I don’t understand it Is that I truly,genuinely deep down feel happy when I’m out with my mom even if that’s doing nothing at all and I was hoping it could have been a just me and my mom kind of day but no.

Just over night the town next to mine slightly north locked itself down and the town next to me south is probably going to do the same sometime today so I don’t think I’m going to have anything to do and mine will probably be next although it’s only got 3000 people. As my dad does construction And it doesn’t seem effected yet I’m probably going to work instead which is indeed the real world so I probably have no right to complain I guess and I should be happy since the 1st week of work solid work is what allowed me to snatch up a Spyro ring and that’s something I never thought I’d get!

I was also hoping to wear and take RL pamp pics for twitter as well but those are also shot since if I work I don’t wear while working.

I’m extremely mixed as I’m pondering if doing this is overreacting but I can’t be sure since it’s also being safe but I feel like it’s not as dangerous as it’s being made out to be since more have died from the regular flu. Maybe I’m being selfish but I just wanted the perfect day since last year I also had a shit birthday but who knows? I’m not paying as much attention to the situation as some might be other then going to in stores and seeing the long line and empty shelves.

Yeah I have a group on telegram that I want to make a shirt for and I would love to make a shirt for myself that I would wear for pictures and sleeping in. For both it would definitely have to be SFW but my mind is so dirty that nothing comes to mind. My personal one would definitely show the inflatable and diaper dynamic and I think should have a clever saying. The group one I don’t want to reveal too much about since it’s a close knit one and trouble free and because of that I feel like an ass for telling people and then not what the group is but I don’t know if I’d want it to have people’s character’s,mine or something generic that represents the group . Regardless I’d love to hear what people think of good ideas are!

https://twitter.com/squishy_zoran/s.....804813312?s=21

So yeah I’m making him into a toy and hopefully a run. Right now I’m getting a single one made to see how he looks and what translucent material looks like as I want him like that since not too many are made that way and if it’s good I’ll have him run that way and He’s actually going to be on the smaller side (7 foot long)and will be in a prone position like How the PP tiger is.

If you’re interested in getting one do join my telegram group for updates!

The schedule for FC was announced today https://furtherconfusion2020.sched.com/

My crinkle squeak panel is Friday 7pm-8:30pm in the Hilton San Carlos room. For those who might not have seen it it is just a meet and greet for AB/DLs and I will have some inflatables out too. I wanted to have things for people to do but I simply don’t have the money to get all that much and so I’m not sure how it will turn but I will definitely learn from this!

So Further Confusion is my local con and I submitted a panel called Crinkle Squeaks and they approved it but never sent me anything or it was put I’m my junk bit searching didn’t get anything and I’m freaking out pretty bad as I never thought they would approve it and I’m not sure who could run it with me. I’m not expecting anyone to bring their inflatables out since most don’t like diapers and I’m assuming the room is pretty small since it looks to be in the Hilton and not the con space (no idea where) I had the silly idea that pants could be optional but I don’t think I’m going to do that. It’s also late running from 10 pm to 11:30 on Sunday so who knows. If anyone is local and has ideas do let me know as like said I’m freaking out and I don’t know what to do!

Well I hit 400 followers last night so I decided to open my swim ring contest. Basically what it is is I want people to design a cute and silly swim ring ring and the winner will not only get it in art but it will also become the official swim ring of my new character once he is made! I made a telegram for people to join and share and the rules are there as well. If you want to join here is the link (copy and paste it I guess since it doesn’t seem to work) t.me/swimringcontest

So I’m 2 away from 400 followers on my Twitter and I’m thinking of a different kind of contest. Instead of a raffle to be in art I want the contest to be people to design a cute and silly swim ring and the winner of that would not only get their design in art but that design would also become the official swim ring of my new character once I get him made. I’m not ready to start it yet but I think when I do I will make a telegram group just for it and let people here,telegram and of course twitter join. I think I’ll run it for a month and post the rules there once I figure that out.

In relation to this http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9324160/ I’ve been mentally working on my character and I feel like I’m going to disappoint but he will be like this

He will be an inflatable male T-Rex with 3 colors(I’m thinking teal,pink and blue-green but where they go no Idea yet)

As he’s a pooltoy he will have webbed claws to help swim(debating on them being a different color to give the illusion he’s wearing flippers or not)

He will have a tail valve for sure but pondering if his main valve should be on his back like the IW angle dragon although it won’t be seen most of the time or on his stomach.

He will have markings on him with numbers by the valves to show which part of him gets inflated first and the maximum pressure to fill him in Bar. I MIGHT put a symbol on him that’s a diaper somewhere.

The unique thing is I want him to have air tanks on his back with him having an old school 2 hose scuba regulator for when he swimming and a separate hose for inflating squeaks but I don’t know how it would be stored. Wrapped on one tank to the side, wrapped around both tanks across his back or he could wear a suit with a storage compartment for the hose on his chest.

Instead of a diaper,pull-up or even goodnite he will wear 3 different prints of underjams. (Both sharks and the lizard) and they will be inflatable. The valve will be centered with the print on top for a seamless look.

Today I was looking for something in my old portable hard drive and I happened to stumble on the first fury pic I ever faved way back in 2012 and thinking how cute it would be to make a character like it but I didn’t bother as I felt I’d be ripping it off and went on to FA(I joined E621 first then FA 4 days later) all these years later and seeing it again I’d like to make a similar character but again run into the issue of feeling like I’d be ripping off the original although every aspect would be changed and thus guilty.

How similar can you make something before it’s considered copying? The things the original has that I’d like to do but different ways are tri colors, markings that show the grade and valve locations ,and tie down points.

The other thing is I’ve never made a truly original OC so I don’t know how you go about picking anything. I’m thinking this character would be another inflatable dinosaur (and maybe keep it a T-Rex although I feel like something different would be better)and have a sibling for Zoran and Leslie, no idea if a brother or a sister or age though. I’ve also debating having permeant scuba gear on this character (no idea how you do that) along with webbed feet and hands. Colors I’m thinking of would be teal and pink(based off of the Transformers seacons of all things) or different shades of blue (green-blue is one that comes to mind) I think this character would have some markings mainly to show the max pressure the character should be filled with numbers on which chamber gets filled first as some toys do. The last thing is the only thing obvious and that would be a diaper as Zoran and Leslie have one this character should too but no idea on the print since that’s a requirement for me.

Anyways I figured I’d get that off my chest before I forget and like I asked before. How similar can you make something before it’s plagiarism?

So imagine Zoran walking up somewhere with something tucked under his claw and a pump in the other, he sets It down and unrolls it revealing a huge and cute pool toy. He proceeds to hook up the pump and turn it on inflating the toy but also getting a boner knowing what’s going to happen next. As squishy humps are the most fun he proceeds to wet his diaper while continuing to inflate the toy. After he’s filled both toy and diaper he immediately gets on the toy and starts rocking and squeaking all over after some time passes he explodes out the top of his diaper getting cum all over the toy,his diaper,and his belly and it ends with him very happy

My new ideas are

should it be zoran and what kind of toy? (Rl,one in my art that doesn’t exist or something made up for it?) or

Should it be a different character and Zoran is the pool toy?

Should the diaper be messy and if so should it already be messy at the start or should it happen during his wetting or right before he rides the toy?

I honestly wish Blankie or Jimmy could do it but they are both pricey but worth it!

I’ve been thinking while the little paws were a great diaper I feel they are overrated because they are in so much art and it’s the most furry diaper in my opinion. I’m thinking of getting a version drawn up that is reptiles instead and originally I was thinking all dinos but the sudden influx of them has me thinking it could be other reptiles as well. I was going to change the wetness indicators to dino claws and call the diaper little claws and I change the colors to more earthy ones and maybe change the checker pattern to something more fitting but what I don’t know. As it is just an art idea I might be giving that too much thought but anyways here’s a poll I’m running on twitter. Do share and vote since it’s all hinging on you the people!

https://twitter.com/squishy_zoran/s.....258047488?s=21

So every once in a while I get an obsession where I want to get the same concept done by different artists in their own style. My most unique idea is what I call the looming shadow where it’s a character on a big diaper getting creamed and I’d like to mix up the characters but so far I have 2 and Dracky said she would do one but i have doubts. But the question remains. Would it ever get boring even with different characters and In people’s styles?

Like I said I would I got my first ever messy diaper art and I’m just letting you guys know just in case you’re not into it. I’ll post it either later today or tomorrow.

So I’ve been thinking for a long time on this and I would like to design Zoran into a ride on for the sole purpose of getting something clear from Hongyi toys. Now I was thinking of basing him off the Intex lil ride ons of the late 90s early 00s (most likely the green dragon) but I don’t know how I could get his front arms to not look so goofy. As you all know he is a T-Rex and they have tiny front arms and the way i see it on toys is they have the arms on the neck and while that makes sense I don’t want that. The way I want him is like the Fyru dragon with front claws and back ones being up and ignore that it very well might look silly (despite me thinking the other way would look silly) or I could design him so he floating on his back and the rider would be on his belly(the intex lounging Dino has his belly mat like but I’ve seen other styles that have it more like a tube and I don’t know which is better and debating of his tail up or flat)


So what are your guy’s thoughts?

For some reason I have been wanting to try messy diaper art although it’s very preliminary and I’ve been exploring styles and themes. I’ve decided that I like the tight and huge balloon looking pamps and not lumpy looking ones although I think my first won’t be like that(I know exactly how I want them to look and who I want to do it). For My possible second idea I’m thinking of letting someone else join in who would encourage Zoran to mess and put him at ease or it would be a bet that he lost and we’d both mess together. All I know is that I would want It to be naughty and it ends up with Zoran making a gooey mess in his pamps. I’m also open to ideas from anyone too But before I do anything I’ll post another journal to warn those who might not like messy pamps.

So this is probably lofty but I’d love to host a panel at a con that I would call Crinkle squeaks. Basically it would be an AB/DL friendly inflatable meet, clothing would be optional and all the toys could be played with and there would be a play spot for adult babies too as well as room and privacy to change. Maybe spots for the diaper companies to sponsor and education on AB/DL too. It would e 18+ and badges would be checked at the door.

Who would like such a panel? And better yet would anyone be willing to help me run such a thing since I sure can’t do that alone.
