https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/.....internet-users I hope something can be done to stop this. It's already bad enough that the US has been trying to do this crap. Bills like this WON'T things safer it puts everyone at risk.

Telling companies not to collect data on people would be a damn good start. Not allowing children access to the net without a parant or some other guidence until they're of age would also be a better approach than this shit they're pulling.

Hope this bill gets tossed out, but if I recall this isn't the same thing as the US where freedom so far is still alive.

I'm wishing you folks in the UK the best.

Sorry I wasn't here yesterday...

We had a really bad severe storm come on by. It rained LOTS of Golfball sized hail. Windshield was badly damaged. As frustrating as that was.


The Tornado that would eventually come after Duncan was still rotating in the air when it passed right over my house. I only found this out later when my niece caught footage of it spinning. I don't know why she and the others DIDN'T TAKE SHELTER when this was going on, especially if this storm had been slower they could've had a direct hit! I'm just grateful that things are ok for the most part.


The storm knocked out power for the whole city till 1:48 AM last night.

Yesterday was the closest a tornado had come to hitting my house, and I am thankful it was still not tocuhing the dirt when it passed. What a freighting day indeed.

Heyo everyone wanted to just say that I have been thinking about some things.

I noticed I haven't been focusing as heavily on my projects as I used to, sure some of that could be due to circumstances that have been happening to me over the last several years, but I have been really feeling the drive to push forward and get down to the nitty gritty. That being said I'm probably gonna slow down activity for a little while with RPing, and uploading here.

Leezord will not be leaving though, nore am I gonna stop doin' da fun stuff. Just need to spend sometime and focus more on my projects and maybe make time to do the stuff like RP and hang out with friends and stuff more so on the weekend ^v^ so I d apologize if I am even more slower to reply than I normally am. 'v';

But don't be discouraged from dropping me a line and chatting! :D

I called the dermatologist today, the spot they removed wasn't cancer, but something a junction nevi? .3. even so it was gone and I'm honestly happy about that.

I'm still gonna be more careful from now on obviously and I now officially dislike the sun, but I am least happy that I'm all good now. ^u^!

They removed a weird spot I had on my left thigh, I was depressed and scared about it all week, which is why I have been far less talkative than I normally was this week (the Dark Leezord doodle was inspiration of this.) He didn't ind anything underneath, but I'll get a call from them monday to see for sure if it is or isn't cancer.

Honestly I'm just glad it's been taken care of, but we'll know for sure next Monday.

Still I'm somewhat relieved.

The policy update got more clarification. Which does pit me at ease, but I am still not a fan of the fact this still doesn't help those who still feel in the crossfire though. :<

The part that really bothered me though is: So...the entire reason this got changed was because some people kept flagging other people's work?....curious now if that's how the sonic stuff got taken down outright, even if it wasn't breaking the rules at the time? hmm....Though everyone understandably may doubt this, even I am skeptical, but not surprised.

in any case: -Leezord clings to ground- staying! but if other artists go anywhere I will be sure to follow if I already have an account in those places. 'v';

I am probably not gonna click .zip domain links ever ._.

Is it me, or do tech companies just make shit without actually thinking? >: /

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819 so apparently there's this policy in relation to some new rules? I'll start with saying this:

I am not into underaged art of any sort, it's just something I do not like seeing, period. However I understand all artists draw in different styles as well, which I feel is unfortunate that it will put them in the crosshairs of well mods that may not have any principles behind them. Especially if said artists that are endangered by this policy change DO depict their characters or subjects as adults proportionately or otherwise.

On that note:
I believe this rule is 100% virtue signaling, because if the admins really cared about child exploitation, they'd go work with organizations that actually get their hands in the dirt and and work to make a difference. But as with a lot of things these days it's easier to censor things like a fictional character being drawn then actually doing anything.

That being said, I also noticed this right here:

"Appended: Additional Clarification

Due to feedback we have received regarding this update, we are providing the following clarification on the changes that went live today.

- NO, there is no blanket ban across species.
- NO, there is no list of species that we will always take action on.
- YES, characters in your NSFW art must be aged up.
- NO, simply making something bigger or smaller does not indicate age.
- We look at anatomy proportionally alongside other context in submissions.

There is also some confusion as to the extent of the changes that went live today. Section 2.7 of the Upload Policy has been in effect for many months with its current wording. The only thing that changed as of this update is our internal policy on Pokemon and Digimon. Pokemon and Digimon are now actionable, if presented as children, when they were not in the past.

Again, small or otherwise cute adults, Pokemon/Digimon or not, will not be removed unless they proportionally/anatomically represent a child." <---this was the clarificaiton which helps me ease up a little bit.

The thing about me is: I like drawing characters of VARIOUS heights. It's fun to draw characters that are tall, short, etc. heck I have a lot of short stacks because they're just fun to draw. Of course every character involved in my NSFW are all adults, and all of them are quite 'developed' if that makes any sense. But I do feel deep sadness for the artists that stick to more less busty, less thicc sort of gals.


I have been here sense 2008, and even though it is not a good idea at this moment, I will not be going anywhere. FA is indeed like a home to me, it is the site I frequent the most. Twitter and Newgrounds and DeviantArt are simply NOT an option for me.

Twitter is a political cespool disaster even before Musk took over.

Newgrounds used to give my computer malware and viruses back when I used to go to that site in 2008 to watch flash animations, and I do not trust that the site has gotten better at this.

DeviantArt: I have my own issues with this site both as bad experiences, the questionable decisions with AI, among other things that this site simply will not work out for me.

That being said, if you guys know a site I can go to where everyone else might be down for just incase something happens I'm all ears. ^v^ just so long as it's not like the other three I mentioned. . v.;


That being said, I have another thought on my mind that relates to this:

The issue with policy changes isn't always the guidelines, but the mods are not trusted by the users. If your users don't trust your mods, your site gets underutilized which doesn't bode well for one the site owners.

Main reason why I think a lot of people don't trust the mods is, there is no consequence or drawback when they do act out say a ban or suspension when it isn't necessary to do so in that situation. Also being able to actually look at the situation with more critical thinking, which can be encouraged as well with the use of consequences. When even the people who have authority over you can be punished they may usually act with greater care. It isn't like a situation where ya have a gunman or something running around, we're talking like pictures or something here.

Mother had a call in with the Social Security office. For reasons I cannot seem to fully grasp; she cannot collect on dad's social security, which will make things horrendously difficult overall.

I don't know what's going to happen, but there's a chance we may have to move if we cannot keep up payments. I am aware that   justathereptile and I are gonna have to pay more in rent, which is fine, I just wish this didn't go as bad as it did.

I was admittedly afraid something like this would happen....but nothing has gone as well as planned...-sigh- This year was already the worst one of my life as it is...

https://twitter.com/gen_stamps/stat.....11191497342976 a freind DMed me this on Discord, and supposedly they only updated it to cover their asses. leezord apologies for causing a stir. 'v';;;

I still wouldn't ever used twitter though, but if you're someone that does, I hope this eases it still if you choose to use the platform still.

https://twitter.com/mikewyantjr/status/1648722966165716998?s=46&t=jGb8iQGnZpjCwZDxOwkMuw You might wanna look at this. I don't have a twitter thankfully, but I'd probably stop there if they're not gonna respect you or what you make.

Hello everyone. I wanna say first that, leezord is thankful with everyone's support. It's just been really difficult having to have lost so many over the course of just 2 months.

In any case,   justathereptile and I have finally made peace with the passing of our older brother. As we began to come to terms with it, admittedly it never should've been a surprise that this happened when it did....it was just far....far too soon. Our older brother was not the healthiest person not even by a long shot. Health wise he was the worst off. He always ate a lot of fatty foods and take out, he never exercised even when we at one point offered to bring him along in that regard. Infact I'd say the last few years his health had degraded so poorly that he had congestive heart failure...granted he could still have exercised, but to him this was just far too late, a few days before his passing, I also learned he had been smoking meth, and while I was shocked at first to hear about it, I realized that he was gone once for about a week 2 years ago, I had always assumed he had just gone to visit Mary or someone for awhile and didn't think much of it.... He weighed almost as much as a full grown tiger when he was admitted into the hospital...the part that hurt the most was...we actually had a sliver of hope. If he had medically qualified (by that I assume he was healthy enough for the procedure.) he could've been taken to Oklahoma City where they could try to heal his lungs, he didn't, and hope was torn from us...

Even with all these health problems it doesn't mean we were WANTING this to happen, we knew yes...but still it never made it easier to come to grips with. Was he a jerk? yeah he was, but when I was much younger he was sort of the big brother jerk, he wasn't an out right bully to us or nothing and I've had some fond memories of him, my most fondest watching him play Metal Gear Solid. When he got to psycho mantis, hoo boy that moment he broke the fourth wall and made the controller move scared the living hell out of me. I ducked behind him, practically cheering him on to beat that psychic bastard, and he did.

Even though I never played MGS it was one of many series along side Superman that I often think of and associate with my big brother. He always loved gaming but he never had time to, I often wondered how he'd feel about seeing how far the series had come. And then he met Mary.

Mary wasn't a nice person, and while big brother was a jerk in some respects...he became worse after marying her, I think it was the combination of stress dealing with her, and other things his personality wasn't much better with those two, but otherwise the big brother I knew turned into something my mother refered to as a 'User' He did indeed become far too reliant on our parents always brrowing money from them but never did enough to actually get off and do things himself, this personality flaw always existed, but it was magnified as neither him nor Mary would do anything for themselves.

Oneday the marriage turned sour and the two separated still married, but separated. In the last few weeks of his life, I began to see the older brother I knew, and somewhat admired...and now he's gone...and hurtful as it may be, I'm ok with it, because he was suffering with all the health problems he had.

He left behind three children, one of them is 6, and I can't fathom just what would be going through his head right now, nor his daughters. We had found a video contianing the entire series of a cartoon show we watched with our big brother hoping to do so in celebration, but it was too late.

RIP Big brother...you will be missed.

As far as everything else has gone, I feel like I have been procrastinating too much with my projects, I also want to apologize to everyone who I have been failing to keep up conversations with. When I draw I have this big pen display (which is AMAZING. Btw.) but because I also hae my base booster on my computer desk it's quite...big '3' and the table is kinda small so I have to move my keyboard to the side to draw and its hard to type on a keyboard that is perpendicular to you. 'v';;;

I'm saying this now that I'm gonna focus on some projects I need to get done, so on discord I will still be down for chatting and RPing, but I am gonna be a bit slow sometimes cause I gotta really finish Primal Rage: Final Battle, and work on Beasts of Wrath 2.

Plus were prepping some stuff up to work on a series Justa and I have always been wanting to do: Rageon, a bit different from all the crazy fun escapades you've seen me post here on FA, but now ya know what universe most of me and   Justathereptile cast are from. 'v'

I also wanna finish the FAIQ for the Magneta and Dribella. If interested in asking a question head here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48166326/
Anyway thanks again to all for the support everyone.

Me and   justathereptile had to say goodbye to our brother today.

He isn't going to make it tonight. We had a sliver of hope that if qualified he could go to Oklahoma city for a treatment to save his lungs...given what mom told me he wasn't...IDK why bt still....

I lost dad...I lost my pet lizard....and now I'm losing one of my brothers....

I think I'm going to take a short break for awhile.

There's a project me and Justa need to do and it's a nessecary vent piece...if we don't get to this at some point, I will start losing my shit by this point.

Mom just gave me the bad news....

Big Bro's not getting better...it seemed like he would but he just can't breath without help....I don't think it would be right for him to suffer..but even I don't know...

This is too fucking soon.

and I enjoyed it 'v'

one thing kinda confused me but that's something for later.

Lookin' forward to the sequel 'v'

me and Justa's older brother was sent to the hospital yesterday morning. Apprantly I was told just now he's in stable condition, but he was so aggravated from what mom said he ripped the IVs out and he has ALOT of them.

The infaction went all the way up to his thigh....I don't know what's gonna happen, but I'm praying that I do not lose another family member yet again....
