Home | happy holidays | general updates
General | Posted 2 days agoHome! Short partner visit this time sadly, I miss them so much already, but also am super happy to see my cat
There is, however, no food in this house
Also happy holidays to everyone! Hope you're all having a safe, happy season. Tell me some good news, your resolutions, your plans, a gift you got or want, or maybe something tasty you've eaten?
My resolution this year is to buy at least three spices/herbs I don't usually use and learn to cook with them. I like a lot of varied cuisines but I know there's a TON that I'm missing out on, so this is the year
This isn't really a resolution but in late January/early February (most likely) I am moving in with my long distance partner! My boyfriend
(who I live with) and I are moving across the country to them and we've found this super cute apartment that I can't wait to share with them. It's going to be so nice not to have to travel for hours and pay so much money just to see them a few times a year, and I'll get to see both of my favourite people every single day
Now partner and I just need to tie boyfriend down and force him to Transformers with us
Thanks to everyone who responded to my gallery retiring journal last week. Like I replied to most of you, I really didn't think anyone would care. It wasn't my intention to be like 'I'm leaving unless you prove you want me here' or anything, I just legitimately didn't think my art would be missed
I really appreciate everyone who encouraged me to keep posting, or said they would miss me if I didn't, thank you
I think I'll keep sharing for now
This is my holiday journal so it's a bit early but happy new year! Thanks for reading

Retiring Gallery
General | Posted a week agoHi! Thank you everyone who's followed me over the years, through ups and downs and different characters and topics, and for tolerating my random whims
I think I've reached a point where my art just frankly is not appropriate for the furry community, and I think I've reached this point a long time ago to be honest, back when I started drawing chilaios. I wasn't posting any of it because it was humans, but then that started being pretty much all I was drawing, so I started sharing it just because I like to share, and...
Well, now with the robots, I just don't think it makes much sense to keep up with my gallery here. Uploading artwork is time consuming and without meaning to imply I'm OWED attention for my art, the majority of what I make doesn't seem of interest to the people of FA. Honestly, I'd just rather be spending my time on other things
Special shout out to
who has been a consistent source of motivation, I hope you don't mind me mentioning you by name, but frankly I owe you a lot and I can't thank you enough for always going out of your way to leave comments
I'll still be around and I'll come by and look at people's artwork and comment and things, I just won't be posting any of my own for the foreseeable future I think. At least, not unless I get back into the majority of my work being furry related. Who knows though, maybe that will happen sooner rather than later
So yeah! Thanks again for everything
If you want to keep up with me, you can check out any of my social medias here - https://linktr.ee/avoidcrow
Or feel free to reach out on discord or telegram as well!
I'd say 'bye', but I'm not actually going anywhere

Looking to commission a few icons and/or busts
General | Posted 2 weeks agoHello! I'm looking to commission a few icons for a few of my characters' toyhou.se pages
Specifically I am wanting a few of my Transformers OCs, but I have a few humans and furries that could also use some attention so I might be interested even if you don't do mechs/robots
If you, or someone you know, is open for icons/busts, please let me know and/or link me to your commission information! If possible, please include whether you draw mechs/robots and humans also
I can't commission everyone probably, but I'll give everyone a look

Update | Designs for trade/sale!
General | Posted 3 weeks agoHello!
So small update - sorry for all the sketches! I hurt my leg pretty badly early this week and it's been hard to sit down and draw for any length of time
[vague medical stuff below]
Leg will be fine soon I think, but it got worse and worse all week until I realised I could barely walk and I needed to get some help. I went to hospital and it's infected, so I'm on antibiotics now which are making me SUPER ill, and I can't even lie down after taking them so I have to sit on my bad leg and I'm just generally not having a good time at the moment
[medical stuff over]
So it'll probably be sketches for the next week until it heals proper and I can sit in one place comfortably for more than half an hour
---
ANYWAY I also have some OCs that I'm looking to get rid of
Looking for, in this order:
art > custom adopts > other adopts > money (if you have other things to offer, go ahead, I'm flexible!)
[SALE]
https://toyhou.se/avoidcrow/charact...../folder:167839
^ This folder is easy mode, I will be much less discerning with what you offer for anyone here
[OFFER]
https://toyhou.se/avoidcrow/charact.....folder:7455791
^ This folder I might be more particular. Please don't be offended if I don't want to take your offer at this time!
Comment or note me if you see anyone you want! If you have my messengers you can also reach me there but if we're not already friends who talk please be aware of scammers, they've been relentless lately

Small spam incoming
General | Posted a month agoI have been drawing so much that my backlog of things to post is getting a little insane so I'm just going to put them all up at once here we go!
Also time to bump that last journal anyway

Upcoming Submission Content Warning
General | Posted a month agoI've been playing with the plug and play/adult wire art with my Transformer OCs and some of it is not consensual - this is for fantasy reasons, but I understand if you want to avoid anything related to it. Please review my newly adjusted content tags here (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11169335/) or let me know if you need additional tags for blocking
Happy to include any tags that will make anyone feel safer so please don't hesitate

I'm back!
General | Posted 2 months agoHello! Back from holiday, had a great time, and while I'm definitely glad to be home with my pets I'm very sad it's over
I drew a bunch! I'm going to try not to spam so I'll share gradually
Also my partner has lately been trying to get me into Transformers with them, and while we were held hostage in their house they showed us a bunch of things, all of which to say... I'm drawing robots now. Unfortunately I've also decided not to post most of what I've drawn, the majority are screencap studies and while I'm pleased with them, I don't feel they represent enough work that is actually 'mine'
So basically, expect some Transformers art (as soon as I draw more that I can share) as well as our regularly scheduled chilaios and kinky stuff

Bye for a week!
General | Posted 2 months agoI'm going on holiday for a week, so I probably won't draw/post much art in the meantime
I'm taking my tablet to draw but I'm not sure how much drawing time I'm going to get so most likely I'll see you all next weekend!

Fanart Total:
General | Posted 2 months agoMore than three-hundred Chilchuck/Laios fanarts, and that's just what I've posted to my tumblr
That's an insane amount of times to have drawn one ship, and yet here we are. If you think I've been uploading a lot of them here, you are now aware that there's several hundred more you have not seen
I'm protecting you
(this journal exists because I would like to bump the other off my page for now)

Psychosis/Schizophrenia Community/Forum/Discord?
General | Posted 3 months agoOkay this is kind of a long shot but I got banned from r/schizophrenia for 'asking for medical advice' so
Can anyone who has or is familiar with schizophrenia/psychosis offer me lifestyle advice, or recommend me a community/forum/discord/something where I can talk to others who might be having some of the problems I'm having?
I'm really struggling and while I think psychiatry and therapy can/will help and I'm working towards those as well, I would really like to get some perspective from peers
The topic I am specifically struggling with is emotional blunting via medications

Fanfiction took over my life
General | Posted 4 months agoHello, sorry, basically just here to say arts are a little delayed because I had a breakthrough on one of my Dungeon Meshi fanfics and have basically transformed into the concept of the written word
I can't stop, I've written about 15,000 words in a week
If you are, for whatever reason, interested in the unhinged, self indulgent nonsense I am writing, here's a link
Please mind the content warning tags, and I hope to be back to art shortly, thanks for your patience!

Sorry (Artfight)
General | Posted 4 months agoI apologise that I wasn't able to do more artfight attacks
I really wanted to do more but this month ended up being super hectic and when I wasn't busy I was ill. I just haven't had the energy or time to draw as much as I would've liked
Truly sorry I couldn't do more revenges, I hope I can get everyone back next year

Discord server!
General | Posted 5 months agoTitle!
Thought it might be fun to have a furry friendly server to hang out in, but on a slightly smaller scale than the FA one or Art Fight which are so popular it's a little overwhelming I think. Come doodle with me and share pictures of your pets or tell me what you're having for lunch. I'll draw some goofy emotes and stickers later
Am not the best at discord still but I figure what I can do is probably fine for just a few of us?
Oh, but please be 18+! Sorry, adults only

Watch out for scams
General | Posted 6 months agoThere's been a lot of scams lately, particularly through discord, so just as a heads up I do not take commissions anywhere but by furaffinity note through this account, my base adopts account
, or by email (avoidcrowdraws at gmail)
If you are in contact with someone claiming to be me and you want to double check, please note me here any time, happy to confirm
Be safe!

The Aromantic Question
General | Posted 6 months agoI've gotten some questions about my aromanticism and I've technically addressed these before but it's been a while so thought I'd talk about it again more publicly
The gist of what people ask is 'how are you aromantic, you're dating people'
So my experience with romance is just a bit different, and it's more obvious from inside a relationship with me than the outside. I don't feel the same degrees of passionate romance as other people, I have no innate drive for romantic behaviours, I don't pursue. Media style romance is an alien concept to me. And to me the main 'proof' of my aromanticism is that the way I feel and behave can make my partners feel unloved, or at least that I don't love them as much as they love me
Specifically wording this though that 'I have no drive for it' and not that 'I am incapable of it'. Just like asexuals are capable of having and enjoying sex, I'm capable of romantic behaviours. It doesn't come naturally to me, but I'm learning that there's certain ones that I do like participating in (cuddling, for example, is very nice) but sometimes if I'm not reminded that people want to cuddle I just... won't. I have to go out of my way to remind myself to do things that my partners view as romantic
I care about my partners a lot, so I do want to do things that make them feel loved in the language they speak
So then the responses I get to all that are one of two things
'are you maybe demi-romantic?' Sure you can call me demi-romantic if that feels more accurate to you, I don't really care that much. It's still under the aromantic umbrella, besides. I assign myself a label so that I can easily explain to people I'm with that I might not behave how they're expecting me to
and then there's
'are you maybe just autistic?' I don't know
Probably

What if I made more charact- [is taken out by the sniper]
General | Posted 7 months agoHello!
One of my partners is long distance and they're coming to stay with us for a few days. I don't know how much art I'll be able to get done while they're here so there might be a delay from the usual deluge
but speaking of which, I'm really nervous and I'm coping by drawing so there's bound to be a bunch of nonsense leading up until then
Which is really just a long winded explanation for why I'm probably going to make more OCs
oops
