i've been seeing a lot of crap being posted in the fandom lately hating on a few "popufurs", a few of whom I happen to be friends with. it needs to stop. has it ever occurred to you [and you know who i'm talking about] that maybe, JUST Maybe, they didn't intend to become highly popular in the fandom on purpose and that they're just posting what they want to post just for the sake of posting what they like to do, see, hear, or watch is what ends up getting them known out there? I know a few of the more well known popufurs may be in it now FOR the popularity, but not all are, only a few. (not gonna name them as it'll just summon the white knights of hate in the comments)
attacking/ discriminating against their fursuit/ their fursona/ their personality/ their friendships/ them wont get you popularity, it'll just label you a hater and a troll and will do the complete opposite of making you famous, yes it'll make you infamous but not AT ALL in a good way.
its literally getting rediculous. a few of my friends are popular furries and are being bullied by others just because they're popular and they're starting to have enough. one even had to purge their friend list on facebook TWICE to get rid of bullies and they still get hate comments.
so in closing of my mini rant, LAY OFF THE POPUFURS!!! Hating on them all over the actions of a small few wont do nothing but hurt their feelings even though they literally did nothing wrong to deserve the hate in the first place. GOOD NIGHT!

I had a great time at Anime Boston! It was my first time out in suit and I think I did pretty good! everyone I met there was fun and I made tons of new friends! There were a few creeps, including being informed of a "furry staler" but still over all i had a great time and had tons of people ask me for pics.
I was in the deathmatch, masquerade, and chess match. because of people stopping me every second for a photo op I missed getting any autographs, couldnt go back to my hotel to swap cosplays (because I was starting to overheat from wearing a fursuit for 18 hours without a desuiting break) and I couldn't hang out much with my roommates. I didn't get an award in the masquerade but I had fun. I was REALLY scared of going on stage but with the fellow Cosplayers on stage and the audience's cheers, I got over my stagefright, for the night at least. misswd the Friday shoot/meet because the deathmatch coordinators changed the meetup time for participants from 1:15 to noon. I made it to the meet on Saturday (had to change locations on facebook as the location it was scheduled for was going to be used by a professional photographer but no one showed up to the original changed location but I found them all by the café so it was all good. SO MUCH FLUFFY!!! 0.0

after I lost my brother to suicide in 2011, I became severely depressed. so depressed I wanted to jump off the tobin bridge in boston, ma and end it. end the pain. end my cursed existence as an unwanted child ( I was abandoned and put up for adoption the day I was born). but then I started drawing and making music videos. it has cheered me up somewhat in these past 3.75 years since I lost him. I still have THOSE days every now and then. those are the days I call out from work, throw everything I could use to kill myself out into the hall closet and lock myself in my room with my computer until I calm down and feel better. I can honestly say that if I hadn't picked up a pen and paper that day in February 2013, I may not be here to type this journal today, nor would I have discovered this WONDERFUL fandom and the awesome people in it. its the support I get from all of you each and every day that keeps me going and looking forward to the next day.
so in closing, I guess what im trying to say is im glad I found this new family called "furries" and im glad I stared drawing that day last year. thanks guys!

For me it was this video:


yes, telephone was what got me into the fandom and now i'm in the process of bringing my own angel dragon to life! I am very grateful to  ino89777 for bringing me here! I loved it so much I never left. =^.^=

okey, so im saying this now before more questions or hate-comments start up again. ( the reason I said hate comments is because of some A-holes on a few websites I did business on felt it was necessary to call me out as an "idiotic emo pervert" (because im a furry) and out of greif, ive had to leave said sites.) the reason y im not taking fursuit commissions at all this month or last month is due to a few factors:
1. one of my family members was arrested last month and because of that, my landlord evicted me. [don't ask, its very personal] and ive been dealing with emotional stress and trauma from watching said family member be arrested in front of me.
2. my family doesn't want me doing commissions until I file/ register my business/hobby with the IRS/government as a "business hobby" so I pay less fees from taxes.
3. this month I was hired by Canobie lake Park in NH as a ride operator for the month. and im still waiting for my transfer at walmart to go through.


and finally 4. this foxy commission is becoming more difficult to finish than I had originally hoped and its stressing me out a lot. so much so that my hair is starting to fall out from all the increased stress.

I will, to the best of my abilities, give out quotes to people and sell art but I cant take on fursuit commissions right now because im worried ill have a serious nervous breakdown.

anyways, that's the end of "story time"/ my rant. night fuzbutts! =0.0=

journal states that:
You will get a fursuit head 100% free!
You will not get to pick the species, colors, style or expression.
It will be all foam base, may or may not have a moving jaw, depends on my mood.
All you have to do is pay the shipping.

Sept 21st 2014 will be a very sad day for me, for those who dont know, it will mark 3 years since my brother's passing. If i'm not too talkative (making many posts or any at all), pleasant, or just not responding, just know its because i want to make that day pass as peacefully as possible. Time is helping slowly, but my wounds still reopen from time to time, and there's nothing i can do but accept it.

msg. to any commissioners!!: if I have a commission scheduled to finish the day before/of/after Sept 21st, it may be delayed before completion or shipping due to me being depressed and also in a pissy mood.

fullsuit build livestream is up!!

I guess I should explain the reasoning behind doing a (3-page) genderbend comic. the real reason im developing it is because it's really a backstory for my third fursona, Splint, with the help of my fursuit/ cosplay character kurama (I cant call it a fursona nor an OC because I don't own the rights to him, the manga creator of the anime/manga, Naruto, owns the rights) and my second fursona, CD Brisk. (btw, i've dropped Winter Webz as a fursona and a shelved her for now. I wasn't really inspired by her)
