The sky's bluer somewhere else
Posted 2 years agoFinally joined thanks to my bf https://bsky.app/profile/goobubbles.bsky.social feel free to toss a follow!
Going to give it a shot and hopefully it'll be a better experience than what twitter has become. That platform has become a disaster and doesn't fuel my social interaction needs. DISCLAIMER: Going to be more expressive and what not about lewd/NSFW things too. I'll still be using twitter to support artists I follow and those who can't join 🔵☁️ right away.

Regarding my socials…
Posted 2 years agoWhere to follow me? Honestly I don’t know at this point. We all know what’s happened with Twitter, if we can even call it that anymore. It saddens me to see furs and artists I follow jump ship this quickly to other platforms especially 💙☁️ and the exclusivity that surrounds it too.
I still plan on using Twitter (X) for the time being. All I do anyways is RT art or memes. I do enjoy in at least sharing Twitch stream announcements, game clips, comm’d art and silly goo things even if no one interacts but it is becoming a ghost town.
I have made a Mastadon if that interests anyone. I’m gonna /try/ to use that site more. My handle being @GooBubbles@fox.yt. it’s worth giving it a shot.
I really just miss using social media for the interactions. I miss being able to have small chit chats or even full length discussions. Seeing everyone vibe and have a good time sharing what’s going on in their life or what new art they’ve gotten. It’s not the same anymore. Nothing feels organic, and wholesome. That’s all I got.

Regarding CreatureUnknown…
Posted 2 years agoWow…when I got on Twitter earlier I couldn’t believe my eyes. CreatureUnknown is no longer with us…he literally fav’d the recent art I got just the other day too…
There’s not much I can say about him personally but I know he was loved by a lot of the community. I was very late with discovering his art a few years back but I’m glad that I did. His pressence brought joy to myself and many others I’m sure. I loved his creativity and massive YCH collabs he put out.
I unfortunately didn’t get to comm any art from him…sorta? It is an honor that he did put my Googia OC into his game “Smasher and The Will O’ The Thiccs”. It was a pleasure getting to talk with him one on one for that small bit while he was creating his version of my sona. He had this jolly nature and was interested in myself and what being a goo must be like. PLEASE go download the game and try it out for yourself. I’d be willing to share my Googia skin code with some that are interested.
Creature, I wish that we got to talk more and that you didn’t have to go this soon…a lot of folks are going to miss your aura and energy you gave out. I recall talking about tubby Zangooses one time on telegram a long while back. You even came out to one of my Twitch streams to come vibe. Even though we didn’t talk much it was still a pleasure getting to share and dabble in those happy convos. I can tell you were a good person to be around.
Please lookout for yourselves. Check up on your friends as often as possible. We may never know when’s our last day on Earth. As much as we like to deny it we’re only human at the end of the day, and our time is limited. Cherish your loved ones </3
“If I die before you
Promise that you'll keep me
Safe inside your memory never let it fade
If I die before you it won't be a goodbye
Wait until the next time
That I see your face.” Before You - Seven Lions

I just want to be a fat Revali.
Posted 2 years agoThat is all. Goo'd day.
Well this is just great…
Posted 2 years agoIt has been brought to my attention by my roomie that theirs, some of our friends, my bf and I all have had our personal avatars on vrchat uploaded to a public ripper avatar store. I won’t name the site (feel free to PM) but you can legit go find our sonas, pay money and cash out the unity file for the avatars. They have ripped a majority of my personal avatars since 2018 as well. This is disgusting.
I’m super livid and disappointed in what lengths people go to just to make a quick buck, or an NFT in this case. Just thought I’d share and warn fellow furs who watch me and play vrchat actively as well. I don’t know what all we can do.
And a final note before there’s that ONE person who says “and this is why I stay out of public lobbies” or some shit…we do. For this exact reason. No one is really safe. Yes we take the risk of this happening just by playing.

Regarding FA's new policy...
Posted 2 years agoSo I'd like to believe all my stuff is within ToS but honestly at this point it's kinda hard knowing what's right vs. what's wrong nowadays on this site. I've seen artists and commissioners get their stuff removed and bombarded with strikes.
Just in case something DOES happen I'd encourage you all to follow my twitter https://twitter.com/PuppermintGoo as that's where I'm most active. I don't post much of my art there. I am however at some point going to purge my follower list free of minors and slowly ease my account into goopy kink/fetish realm so I can enjoy sharing more art and talking that kinda stuff. Or make an alt twitter for that. I don't have the energy to start using a whole new social media art posting platform for my characters at this point. Thanks for reading!

Regarding my telegram/discord?
Posted 2 years agoI've decided to hide and keep my personal PM'ing apps like Discord and Telegram private now. No offense to anyone. I feel like sharing my don'ts with folks has been taken advantage of, it has gotten repetitive + annoying. I haven't been doing well mentally-wise when it comes to these interactions. Hope everyone understands. If someone wishes to add and befriend me, I'd prefer it be earned than given.
ToTK gameplay tomorrow!?
Posted 2 years agoManifesting some Goovali to showup in the gameplay. Oh man who am I kidding? I wish.
LF a Roommate in CO. Please read thoroughly.
Posted 2 years agoHi all! Hope this is ok to post a journal.
We opened a spot in our apartment since one of the roommates had to move out, so we're looking for a new renter. It is located 20-30 mins away from Denver. The room is approximately 10x10 ft, but it does come with a semi-walk in closet. You would be sharing the bathroom along with me. Cleanliness is mandatory, so please no shoes in the apartment and no dishes left in the sink overnight. You're more than welcome to use our kitchenware but please stock your own food. Other than that, we're both laid back and easy going on stuff and we're both fursuiters and gamers. We like to be social where we can and catchup on things. We are both NSFW friendly, but please respect our boundaries. I work overnight while my roommate works during the day remotely. There is furniture in the common spaces that you are free to use. All utilities and high speed internet are included. We are looking for someone who can take care of themselves and can make rent payments on time, must have your own transportation and job. Also, 1 month rent security deposit needed. SORRY no pets are allowed. The lease ends in August so it's not for that long.
We've been searching for a while now and have had multiple people not commit unfortunately in the past. Rent is roughly $800-850. If you yourself or know of anyone who's interested don't hesitate to note me. Only serious inquiries will be responded to, anything else (including no pfp FA accounts) will be disregarded. Thank you!

Lv. 27 GET! Borfday goo
Posted 3 years agoYup survived Lv. 26!
Let's review what the goo has conquered?:
-Acted as a store manager at a job I really liked until upper corporate management took advantage. Quit that job in search for a better one...current one is semi-better
-Kicked COVID in the ass even tho it was surprising I went this long before catching it for the first time last June. Feels like I got sick way too many times this past year?
-Moved out of a toxic roommate situation where I couldn't get much sleep and was held responsible for their dogs. Now with a better roommate
-Built up better credit score? Yay
-Experimented with color grading/correction whenever I took fursuit pics. Retaught some video editing too. So I sorta resparked my interest in content making
-Got to visit the bf in Washington for the first time. Man korean corn dogs are YUMMY
-Am halfway into One Piece? Finished Game of Thrones after procrastinating for so long. I have so much to watch
-Learned more about myself and my standards. If someone doesn't resonate well it's just been better to move along
Anddddd that's all I can think of. Meant to put this out on New Years but it feels more appropriate to share after going thru so much and I dunno, I just feel accomplished and wanted to share. I think it's important to share your successes even if it's the littlest feats. May not be as interesting or worth the praise but everything you do goes a long way. However didn't goop as much folks or tf them into slime. Or even sit on them. Or stream as much as I would've liked. Gonna have to fix that. Maybe branch out into different ideas and slime concepts this time around.
Thanks for reading these whoever does. Please share some cake or flan with your friendly Goo? I'll also take some Bath and Body works soaps to absorb mwahahahaha >:3

Furcon next week!
Posted 3 years agoJust thought I'd share I'll be flying up to Seattle next week for Anthro Northwest! This'll be my first time visiting Washington and attending a whole different con than Denfur. I'll be suiting as Minty but if anyone's from WA say hey! I'm excited woop woop :D
Happi Crimus
Posted 3 years agoThink this is the first holiday I'll be spending time by myself and not seeing my family. Still hiding the fact I'm bisexual and a furry from them. Plus the usual boring small talk every year has become repetitive. No offense to them at all but it's just really hard...
Recently survived the insane cold parts of NA just experienced. It got as cold as -30F with the wind chills. Hope you guys stayed warm if you were impacted!
Merry Christmas to you guys! I appreciate all the new watches and favs throughout this year and how my ocs and their forms bring smiles. Stay safe, eat lotsa food (seriously pack that shit) & happy holidays!
2022 can suck a fart out of my ass.

Redraw/recolor favor?
Posted 3 years agoHiyyo! Would any artists who follow me be up for doing a couple redraws/recolors for me? Miss using my “Gooeyark” a bit but wanna have him be an updated flubber zac green if ya feel? Of course I’d be willing to pay a small bit for doing this.
Indirect dog abuse? This needs to stop.
Posted 3 years agoSo for context ever since November last year, I let one of my close friends and her 2 dogs come bunk at my place for a month. She was going thru a rough spot and needed someplace to stay so figured I’d help her out. Eventually since my lease was ending at the place I was staying at she pitched the idea to move in but into a different apartment. I agreed to only on some terms.
Little did I know that she had WAY more pets than just the two doggies. She owns 4 cats and 5 guinea pigs…which is an overwhelming amount of animals for a 2 bedroom apartment. I didn’t find out about this until after we had moved in. Told myself it’d all be fine and I could handle it. What’s the worse that could happen?
I’m terrible with dog breeds but I’m gonna refer to her dogs as Bear and Maaya. They are large dogs. Maaya is her service animal who she’s had a good amount of time. Bear is wayyyy younger, only a year and a half old. I was under the impression that with all the animals that I wouldn’t have to take care of them since they’re not mines. Maybe if I had the extra time or was bored I would take them out to potty, yknow do her a favor. I was totally wrong and within a couple months starting off this year, I realized the mistake I’ve made.
First couple months the dogs were showing early signs of well, misbehaving and other issues. Maaya primarily barks loudly for minutes whenever a door opens in our apartment. Sometimes she even barks when a neighbors garage door opens or a mailman drops off an amazon package. Once she starts barking Bear will join in as well. This is a major issue for me since my roommate and I have different work schedules. I would be sleeping during the day and be woken up by her dogs obnoxiously barking for no reason. The amount of hours of sleep I’ve lost is insane…don’t know how we haven’t gotten a noise complaint sometimes. I’ve tried turning on some white noise rain to match the volume but even past that their noise is loud. Another problem I have is for whatever reason, ever since I met my roommate and been around Maaya, she growls at me aggressively. I could be doing my own thing in the kitchen making food or coming down the stairs and it’s like hearing Bowser breathing and growling in my face. I’ve spent the first couple months talking to her in a soft tone and spent hours around her to assure her I’m a safe person to be around. Don’t know if it’s how I look or maybe it’s trauma but to this day her dog has never liked me.
Onto Bear…so he’s young, and I get that. Dogs are still learning to mature and that’s excusable. But in all fairness, his behavior has been borderline BAD. I’ll start off by saying he’s energetic and hyper as hell. He also barks randomly whenever he isn’t given attention constantly. There’ll be times where my roomie’s out and I’m sleeping and I’ll hear him howling for attention. Another issue I have is, he’s destructive. There’s been moments where I’ve come downstairs to see couch pillows, plushies, sometimes other furniture all ruined. I would tell my roommate about the mess and even show it to her. The only thing I’d do to Bear is tell him “No! You don’t do that Bear” as some verbal discipline. I’ve tried grabbing sensible stuff and placing them elsewhere so he doesn’t get the urge to chew on anything.
Here’s where things get really really bad and unfair especially for me. A couple months in my roommate will text me if I could let the dogs out. At times I’m ok with that because I am home and awake. Other times it’s been annoying to me because I’ll be at work and I’m thinking “what the fuck I’m at work, why are you asking ME?” She’s even knocked on my door while I’m in my room to ask “hey did you take the dogs out?” Oh oh ho, a lot of times their dog bowls have been empty in which I’d feed them daily as well. I’ve noticed how little care and attention my roommate gives to her dogs pretty quickly, it was obvious around March. It’s become so one sided because I have been the one to take out her dogs the most, not her. She’s relied on me numerous times to care for them and I became pretty agitated. I told her one time that “hey I’m at work, I’m not driving 30 mins home just to let them out” and she said that’s ok. But also, since dogs are high maintenance (depending on breed of course) they gotta poop a lot. Uh, let’s just say the amount of crap I’ve come home to or woke up to around the apartment was awful…it was more clear that my roommate doesn’t take them out even while she’s home. How disgusting. And get this, she would message me if I took them out before work…and obviously I have each and every day.
Back to Bear, so he’s not good with other dogs besides Maaya…at all. Apparently before we moved in together, Bear had some accidents where he’s attacked other dogs outside, leaving him with some warnings. To my understanding when a dog racks up too many strikes, they have to be put down or taken to a rehab center. There’s been 2 times where when I took Bear out (of course with a leash and a muzzle guard), he lashes out and pulls hard on the leash to go start a fight with another owners dog. Knowing this tho I would only walk Bear in areas where there’s not much social traffic. The 2nd time was bad especially since he tugged so hard I tripped forward and Bear nipped at a smaller doggo and her owner for a good 10 seconds. I did what I could and grabbed him by the neck and apologized to the owner in which she was frightened. I also was frightened and told Bear that wasn’t alright. I explained to her that this isn’t my animal and he barely gets any proper care at home. She understood at least and luckily didn’t call animal control on me. I told my roommate later on about these experiences and how Bear puts other dogs in danger. He isn’t safe to walk because it risks myself and others around him. Plus it isn’t my responsibility if he furthermore attacks another dog. However this is where I put my foot down and told her I am done taking care of her dogs. I explained that they’re loud, they don’t listen to me and Bear needs a better owner. I even suggested after the first incident he attacked another dog that he’d maybe be better under the care of a dog shelter. She said no and insisted he just needs “training”
With that being said, my roommate gave up Bear to one of her friends. Not even a month later and she returned Bear back to us because yet again, he attacked a smaller dog by the neck…AT THIS POINT HOW HAS NO ONE CALLED ANIMAL CONTROL OR SUED. I’m not saying Bear needs to be put down as punishment, he doesn’t deserve that but his violent tendencies have gone on for too long. I was just surprised to see him back with us. The only thing left to do is the dog shelter or rehab. I told her again that I’m done taking care of her dogs, they’ve caused me so much stress already.
Unfortunately because my roommate has procrastinated for too long even after I suggested this, all of our local dog shelters and rehab centers in the state will not take him in. What a fucking surprise! (…no really) This is so sad…I feel bad for him but also at the same time, shame on her. Currently he’s not allowed to go outside for the next 10 days so guess it’s doggy house arrest? I don’t know what else to do now…I haven’t been able to enjoy myself at home or reply back to some folks with all of this going on. It’s been draining physically, mentally, hell spiritually lol. I’ve been looking for other roommates if I can even move out. Just to be clear, don’t own pets if you can’t take care of them.

I’m not saying Bear needs to be put down as punishment, he doesn’t deserve that but his violent tendencies have gone on for too long. I was just surprised to see him back with us. The only thing left to do is the dog shelter or rehab. I told her again that I’m done taking care of her dogs, they’ve caused me so much stress already.
Unfortunately because my roommate has procrastinated for too long even after I suggested this, all of our local dog shelters and rehab centers in the state will not take him in. What a fucking surprise! (…no really) This is so sad…I feel bad for him but also at the same time, shame on her. Currently he’s not allowed to go outside for the next 10 days so guess it’s doggy house arrest? I don’t know what else to do now…I haven’t been able to enjoy myself at home or reply back to some folks with all of this going on. It’s been draining physically, mentally, hell spiritually lol. I’ve been looking for other roommates if I can even move out. Just to be clear, don’t own pets if you can’t take care of them.
How to get screwed over at work:
Posted 3 years agoLittle background before I explain everything. I've started this job last September. Moved my way up to Assistant Store Leader a couple months ago actually. In April my boss put in his 2 weeks and left. I was open to take the position title of "Store Leader" but didn't because my District Leader (DL) would only give a .50 cent raise. How messed up is that? Ever since then I've had a coworker quit couple days after. Leaving it be only myself and my coworker to work the store. I've acted as "manager" of the store ever since. I've reached out to corporate for help regarding hiring new people or having other people from other stores come assist us but with no luck. Communication is horrible from their end and has drove me to the point of stress and insanity.
SO here's what I need to get off my chest because I couldn't make this shit up, even if I tried. Two weeks ago unfortunately I got COVID for the first time. Yea darn was hoping to go thru this whole pandemic arc without testing positive but even slimes are not immune. I told my District Leader I need to take time off. Rested up and relaxed for that duration at least I'm much better now finally. However upon reaching back out to my DL, I asked if I'm being compensated for those days I was sick. Figured I would because y'know...we're still living thru a pandemic and my bf for example, got compensated just recently for getting COVID and took time off to recover. My DL directed me to wait for a call from Human Resources (HR) and they'll handle it from there. Earlier today I finally got that call and talked to them about what day I was sick and how long I was out for. When I asked about me being covered, they told me that the company had stopped those benefits 6 months ago....and instead would use my racked up PTO hours which isn't a lot...
What. The. Fuck? I was totally unaware of this and not even told about this in the first place. I'm still pissed thinking about it and explained to HR I deserve some sort of pay for being sick. Especially since I've gone this long without getting it and I'm the only one who still wears a mask while at work. Ofc I got the JJ vaccine and boosters too as extra precaution (Had to for Denfur and another convention anyways). HR then had the nerve to direct me to the Employee Benefits hotline number to talk it out with them instead? Wait, but you guys are HR...don't you guys handle it all? Then I tried calling them and the lady was so freaking rude and impatient she told me to work it out with HR...WHO THE HELL DO I SPEAK TO THEN? Who can I even report all of this to? I'm fed up with the lies and miscommunication from higher ups. It's like I'm not worth anything to my job at all. I'm looking into other resources to see if I can prove them that they need to pay me LEGALLY for my sick days especially since it'd be 2 weeks of fulltime hours.
Uh, yea don't support GameStop.

How do you guys...
Posted 3 years agodeal with people who maybe don't give you the type of response you were hoping for? Or doesn't sound like they care much at all? This could be a close friend, a family member, hell even people you deal with at work or online communication. I've grown tired to the point where I just tell myself to shutup and move on. This isn't directed towards anyone as I know not everyone exactly knows how to react to simple things like everyday talk.
Commissioner PoV
Posted 4 years agoHi, hey, hello!
I just wanna say kindly I find it pretty neglectful when I pay for a service from an artist and I get ghosted for weeks, months, hell even a whole year two times. Not a single heads up from their end about what's going on. I'm starting to lose my muse for comm'ing art, it's why I really haven't gotten anything lately with my characters. (any art that gets posted I've possibly waited a long time for beforehand) All I'm asking is let us commissioners know "hey sorry! So and so happened" or "your art will be delayed!". Trustworthiness and honesty is better than silence. And before anyone raises their pitchforks, not everyone I've comm'd is guilty of this. I genuinely appreciate the pieces I've gotten from people who keep me in the loop, it's what makes me want to do business with them again in the future. Just letting everyone know how frustrating it can be...
