It's set in an alternate universe. Very well done, I think - the author really did their research on the particular subject.

Question for my anthro friends out there
Posted 8 years agoCan someone give me a good idea of the different appeal of feral vs anthro fursonas/OCs?
I'm a bit curious, as someone who's always liked feral characters, so I don't really know what the other end of it is. I used to RP anthros in high school, but it's been a while. ^^;
Thanks for helping this curious kitty!

Oh, how we used to love parodying that song.
Rock in peace, Chester Bennington. You provided a soundtrack for the wangsty years of my youth and for that I am thankful. Your music healed so many. I only wish you had been able to heal, too.

Bit more about Çerda (Tarim's world)
Posted 8 years agoTarim is part of a hereditary aristocracy in a country, Çerda (chair-da) risen from the ashes of a multiethnic trading empire. Rather than simply "falling" as we suppose Rome to have done, this earlier regime gradually lost its status as an economic power and became more structurally sound amid massive cultural changes taking place in a fairly short period. Some of those changes were on imperial orders, others the product of inter-group conflicts across the region which the government and people attempted to solve with compromises.
In that time, the language also changed immensely from a fairly isolating creole with massive variations in dialect (in most cases opposite ends of the country would not have understood each other despite its being a trade language) to a more synthetic spoken and written language with a standardized form and much more mutually intelligible dialects. Although the spoken form of the language changed enormously with the people speaking it over time, its written form has remained virtually the same, making literacy difficult to acquire and mostly restricting it to the political and academic classes. Merchants and trade workers are more likely to understand basic writing and mathematics depending on their need of those skills. However, rural serf and peasant families generally have the worst lot in this area, with very few understanding written language, even those talented with magic.
Magic permeates the world and is as essential to it as air. Unfortunately, it is volatile and unpredictable, often gathering into critical masses of unstable power in random locations across the country. Wandering into one of these can irrevocably warp essential parts of someone's innermost being and cause magical afflictions that range from turning someone into a motif animal at the drop of a hat (sometimes literally) to permanent interference with one's ability to interact with the world around them, sometimes going so far as to totally unbalance the victim's personal reality. Using magic successfully is widely considered the trait that defines humans as separate from and superior to animals; to be in any way under its sway without one's own volition is considered to make a person lesser by default.
Addendum: A lot of political structures and cultural traditions are holdovers from the previous imperial period, including the ruling family holding the title of emperor/empress and the magically enforced system of firstborn inheritance, regardless of gender.

Semi-hiatus
Posted 8 years agoI will be putting most of my projects on hold, not sure for how long.
Maybe at some point I'll upload a story or make another commission, but right now creative endeavors are the least of my concerns. I'll probably still come around to look at stuff, though.

Looking for male VA!
Posted 8 years agoFull info here: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/737.....-voice-request
I've been working on this audiobook for the past 3 years and am finally reaching the closing stretch. After much consideration the author and I have agreed - we need a male voice actor. A bass with a Grecian accent/impression would be ideal. He just has a few lines, but a lot of them involve yelling, growling, crying, screaming and what-have-you.
Please note me if interested!

A bit about Tarim / Немного о Тарим
Posted 8 years agoI'm still working on this stuff (aka bouncing it off
foxridley )
Tarim is a member of the Çerdalim aristocracy and heir to her family estate. Unfortunately, she was thrown out of the house when they found out she had no intention of marrying the younger son of the neighbouring family and would rather spend her time with one of the serfs in the village. By that time said serf had passed on his canid were curse on to her in a momen of romantic bliss, turning her into a fox and causing her to change whenever she experienced intense romantic feelings for someone.
Тарим - аристократка из фантастической страны "Черда" и законный наследник своей семейной усадьбы. К несчастью ее бросили из дома после того, как родители узнали, что она совсем не интересовалась выйти замуж за молодого сына соседней семьи, а наоборот хотела проводить свое время с одным из холопов в деревне на усадьбе. Уже получив проклятие преображения от него в моменте романтического восторга, она сейчас преображается в лису когда сильно чувствует любовь к кому-либо.

Notes turned on
Posted 8 years agoApparently I opted out of the notes system?? Whoops. They're back on now. That would have been bad for commissioning people, haha.
Я почему-нибудь выключила сообщения, ахаха. Но они сейчас включены) Я почти не могла заказывать картины от чудесных художников этого сайта...

Fursona...?
Posted 8 years agoI really like cats, always have. Loved reading about them, loved RPing them, kind of feel like I can relate to them on some level. But for complicated and obnoxious life reasons I'm afraid of just coming out with one as a fursona out of nowhere when the last time I had any kind of fursona (that I didnt really use) was when I was fifteen??
Я всю жизнь очень люблю кошек. Когда я маленькой была, всегда любила читать и писать про них, а сейчас и чувствую, что мы похожие на каком-то духовном уровне. Но из-за какой-то причины боюсь просто создать фурсону( Б последний раз в котором у меня какая-то была, мне 15 лет было. Господи, 7 лет назад... и я чуть никогда не использовала её.
