I'm in queue to get a proper Live2D of my sharky for this, in the mean time I'm using a crappy generic shark avatar and testing out various streaming programs and getting things set up how I like them.
I do a lot of gaming, especially Escape from Tarkov, Phasmaphobia, Among Us, and tons of other games.
Feel free to come stop by, and I'd appreciate a follow on Twitch to help me get to Affiliate! For now I'll mostly be streaming on weekends, and sometimes in the evenings on weekdays due to work.

Posted 5 years agoA wonderful artist and friend needs help.
Posted 5 years agoSonicsweeti is facing an impossible month. A little over two weeks ago, her grandmother passed. Now, her mother has passed as well. She's asking for donations and assistance while she tries to pay for her mother's funeral and her personal bills as well so shortly after the grandmother's funeral expenses.
I want to help boost her so that anyone who is able to contribute, even a little bit, can have a chance. Understandably her art has been put on hold due to these tragic events and that is her primary income. She has a GoFundMe that I will link below, she has been very reluctant to reach out for help, not wanting to rely on others. She is a wonderful person and has become an amazing friend over the last few years, and I've done my best to support her and buy art from her, and so I want to help her boost this call for aid. It's the least I can do for her.
Thank you for your time, please even if it's only a few dollars, every little bit helps keep a roof over her head as she recovers from these tragic losses.

Posted 5 years agoIn the wake of this national cascade of tragedies & outra...
Posted 5 years agoMy heart goes out to everyone involved in this struggle, I wish you all the support and safety you can manage. Your causes are just, I live in the greater Louisville metropolitan area and these protests are very close to home for me. I wish for justice as much as all of you, and I stand in solidarity with you all. It is past time for change, for over four decades the wealthy have been looting our country of both money and morals, and for so much longer racial and social inequality has been a stubborn fact of our country. Unfortunately these things only seem to see real change when the people rise up and demand it, and I hope we can keep this passion going to see through real, desperately needed change. I also hope we bring this same passion to the election come November, our chance to show how truly fed up we have become and oust the fascist right from the power they have openly, unashamedly abused and/or allowed to be abused while murmuring "thoughts and prayers" and empty sympathies while their party runs rampant destroying all that this great democracy once stood for.
My scorn goes out to the police who are still using excessive force, as well as to the rioters and looters who are burning down other people's neighborhoods and causing trouble in general, and also to those whom see this as an opportunity to incite further racial violence and carry out their own foul deeds while trying to discredit this movement. The pages of history will remember all of you exactly as they remember the racists of the past that you venerate, with scorn and dishonor, tainted forever, and I pray you share their fates fully.
I am glad to see the true protesters doing their best to reign in and see punished those who are abusing this situation for personal gain and greed (looters) and for their darker agendas. I am glad to see some of the police joining with the protesters, they should be encouraged and celebrated, even if they share some of the blame for the system of corruption and total lack of accountability and consequence that has been built up around law enforcement. Now is the time for them to step up and demand the changes needed in their own community, so that our two communities can be one again in peace and understanding.
I don't bring up my personal beliefs much, I am not religious and I have a complicate relationship with such things, but The Satanic Temple's tenets speak to me deeply, for they are non-theistic (no belief in divine beings of any sort, Satan included) and encourage us towards being our best, caring for one another, and ending these rivalries.
*One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
*The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
*One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
*The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
*Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
*People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
*Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

The Writings of Tyranous, Part 7
Posted 6 years ago"So much happened since our talk, the news stations were still reporting on it and no one can quite make heads or tails of it. We know most of the truth, if not the specific details, but it's better to not let the public know for the moment. Even as I write this there's a report on the screen across the room, "Fire in the sky, two skyscrapers destroyed in supernatural brawl!" and they're not wrong, but we can't confirm it to them. It would create mass panic.
About two months after I'd managed to speak privately with the demon Tyranous, there was a rumble that shook the entire city as a wave of heat washed over us. The sky turned black over the northern side of the city and a ball of fire seemed to rush down. Everyone thought it was a meteor at first, myself included, but then the fire gave way and there was something...someone in the flames. A huge black wolf with red runes and wicked spikes was on the street waiting for it, the figure from the fireball was white and blue but looked almost identical. When they met, shockwaves rippled out and the city went into a panic. Luckily as they had it out the buildings around them evacuated as the skyscrapers started to sway, and there were no casualties when the two demons went crashing through two of them.
The fight was over in less than an hour, but the damage was severe as the figure from the fireball was flung through a rift torn open by the figure I can only assume was Tyranous in his true form, before the great black wolf collapsed from his wounds and shadow and flame blocked him from view as he seemed to burn up, nothing left when it cleared. It was a month after that incident before anyone saw Tyranous again, back in his regular form but he had scars on his chest and arms that weren't there before. He laughed them off to his fans, saying he got caught under some rubble and had been recovering. He's planning a big concert again, I'm sure there'll be some interesting new songs to glean a little of the details of the fight from, he likes to hide the truth of his nature in his songs after all.
This is all I have for my report at the moment, Mister President. I will let you know anything further once we have it, but I certainly continue my recommendation of not confronting this demon directly. All of our armed forces short of a direct nuclear strike likely could not handle him, and he has no ill will towards our world.
~Doctor Phinivus Orlaine, Head of Research and Development, Exo-Gen Technologies"
As the doctor finished his report and left the office, heading for his car at the end of the day, a new story would begin to crawl across the television screen... "Rock icon Tyranous may be the black demon! Shocking new footage from witnesses starting to come forward!"
The world was about to discover the truth...

The Writings of Tyranous, Part 6
Posted 7 years agoThe wolf swayed behind the microphone, looking out over the crowd as I watched him bare his dark soul through his songs, and the audience had no idea, just loving the music and the emotion he practically oozed.
"I'm still looking for the truth, still hoping to find you...somehow I've got to find what's right..."
"Scared I will run away, I'm losing hope today...can't tell the shadows from the light..."
The words meant such deeper things to the hellhound, it was so clear in his movements, his body posture, even in his eyes reflecting the firelight as he let the haunting past echo through the crowd that had come to hear him.
"Watching, waiting, lights are fading...Loving, hating, words degrading..."
"I can't fight the shadows withiiiiin meeeee...."
"Feeling hopeless, chaos rising...Pain sets in as part of me is dying..."
"My soul has grown too dark toooo seeeee..."
I felt like it was almost too much for him as I watched, the pain clear on his face as memories came and went, but he pushed through the whole performance, and the crowd went insane as it always did, crying out for an encore that everyone knew would not come. Once Tyranous walked off a stage, he would not return. In fact, he never performed at the same venue twice, as if saying what he wished to say and then moving on, until the message would be spread enough for him to disappear again.
This time, as he walked off the stage, I made my way around to the back door, security already aware of me and escorting me around to wait for the demonic ascending rock star. I'm not sure how long I waited, it felt like at least four hours out there in the middle of the night, standing by the back entrance. Security left me there after the first two hours, their shift was over and I told them it would be fine. No, I couldn't miss this opportunity. The door finally clicked and swung open, Tyranous wearing his leather jacket again as he simply strode out of the building without looking around, not even noticing me standing next to the door by all appearances. I took a breath and then spoke, taking a greater risk than any in my life.
"The world doesn't know what you are, hellhound, but you are unmistakable from your own writings Tyranous. Or do you prefer Legion?"
He stopped dead, unmoving for heartbeats that could have been millennia as I wasn't sure what would come next. He turned his head and looked over his shoulder, his eye glowing with an inner fire that he normally kept hidden, I suppose he wasn't threatened by my knowledge and felt no need to hide it now. He looked me over with that single fiery eye, then turned, hands still in his jacket pockets.
"I knew some of those journals had survived the apartment fire, though I still wonder how they went missing before I could retrieve them. Likely another demon's doing, playing mischief with me as usual." he said, entirely casually as he rolls his head, his neck popping loudly several times as he sighs. "So, you know what I am. What do you plan to do with that information?"
"That is entirely up to you. I've got everything I know set to be delivered to five different people in the case I don't return tonight. I just want some of your time, some answers, and to learn more of you that your writings could never convey." I replied, my hands trembling a little as I spoke...until he laughed, seeming amused.
"I won't harm you. If you reveal me, I will simply vanish for the rest of your lifetime and assume a new form in a century or so. It would annoy me greatly, but I've done it before." the demon replied with an amused smirk. "But if that's all you want, you may follow me and seek your answers, mister Orlaine." he turns at that, leaving me dumbfounded as to how he knew my name, walking down the dark alley and avoiding the main streets for quite a while. I follow along behind him as he weaves his way towards a middle class apartment complex and taps a code into the back door, stepping through and holding it for me to follow as we ascend the stairs.
"I don't have company generally, so you'll have to fend for yourself." he says as we reach his room on the sixth floor, his apartment a fairly standard four room affair, you'd think he was just any average bachelor of small means. The only oddity was weapons hanging on the walls for display, some of them very strange in design...and some of them ancient. I'm still convinced that katana was authentic and ancient, though I never asked. I had too much on my mind to worry about his trinkets as we sat down and began to talk...
((the lyrics came from a favorite song of mine, Shadows by the Aviators. Their darker songs fit Tyranous' life very well at times~))

Help an artist cremate her grandmother- signal boost
Posted 7 years agoSignal boosting for an artist I follow, her grandmother died and she's the only one left in her family, and she's trying to get the money together to have her grandmother cremated so she can be laid to rest with the grandfather. She's about $100 off now and is selling OC's or commissions that she'll work on starting January since she has to deal with her grandmother and then the holidays. If anyone's interested or just wants to donate a bit her way, it's for a good cause. If you can't afford burial or cremation you've got to sign the body over to the county and they just get a generic burial in a county plot and she won't be able to have her with the grandfather.

The Writings of Tyranous, Part 5
Posted 7 years agoI think I met him. I do not say this idly but I cannot say it with full confidence yet, but I think I met the demon Tyranous.
He is intimidating, every primal instinct in me told me to run, but he never made a threatening move, just spoke to me plainly and saw the book in my hand, and his eyes narrowed upon it before he looked upon me with scrutiny, then abruptly left me standing there alone. I had just met with my contact and obtained another journal, this one in a modern binding from within the last couple decades at most. He recognized it, I saw it in his eyes when they locked with mine...and I swear I saw the hint of a smirk before he left.
I don't know what to make of this, but if it was him...he's been right under our noses this whole time, in our own capital city. He's been here making a life for himself and watching mortals go about their lives. I can't believe I'm this close, I have to ask him, I need to know. I know where to find him...he's famous after all, his next concert is sold out for next week. His fans don't have any idea, they think he's just a dark doberman mix, they have no idea the wolf demon singing on stage before them.
I've made arrangements to be backstage, I'm going to speak to him.
~Doctor Phinivus Orlaine, Head of Research and Development, Exo-Gen Technologies
I don't even know where to begin this time. Her people came for me, crippled me, hurt her...and I snapped. Felixious was wounded, bleeding, and being dragged back to Hell by her people, intent on making her be their leader and guide, forcefully if needed, because it was the role she was born for. They didn't care what choices she'd made, or the children we'd had. And as I watched, my body ignited, and my true form came out for the first time in so very long. I slaughtered them all, every Cat Guardian that had dared touch my beloved mate...and I didn't stop. I barely heard her screaming plea as I lunged through the portal and began to slaughter her people to ensure they would never harm her again...I had no thought, I was a beast, a monster...I was myself, and she at last saw me for the horror I could be.
The voices of Legion swirled within me, and at last as her claws gripped my throat I stopped, staring at my beloved as she threw me through the portal...and then refused to come to my side. In that moment I saw her face and I knew I'd probably just lost her forever. The pain, the horror, the betrayal...I had just wiped most of her race in moments, her tribe was the largest concentration of her kind, and barely a handful had been spared my wrath. She didn't speak, but she didn't need to, I shifted into the shadows and ran. I left this reality and broke through into another one, one I'd been in before. I had rage that needed to be sated, and I needed to feel pain, I needed to suffer for what I'd done.
I stood in the realm of Auchmadeus, my counterpart in this reality, an entity of infinite Legion, and an Ice Demon who'd taken on the form of a wolf in mockery of me in our last conflict. We clashed for decades, nonstop combat and unbridled wrath as the entire universe fell apart around us, unraveling under the strain of our powers clashing. In my rage and my spite, I reached out beyond him and created a singularity and I just...watched as everything collapsed, even as I was being drawn into it I just let the pain rip through me. Auchmadeus was able to close it, his power nearly equaled my own, even if in that moment I was willing to resort to abomination and atrocity. I tore open a portal as he came for me, casting myself back into this world and sealing his away as his last curse was spat at me.
I was in bad shape, but I managed to take on a mortal guise and limp my way to a hospital. I was there for weeks recovering, though I expect the doctors wanted me there longer. They couldn't explain some of the anomalies I caused for their tests and instruments, but I refused to answer them as I healed and recovered. I had money to spare, I'd invested a great deal of wealth into the banks after the World Wars and it had gained substantial interest over the past near-century. I ended up purchasing an apartment in the middle of the city, and I started taking in the culture around me, deciding to integrate myself into it and try to bring myself out of my isolated despair, and get my mind off of the mate I'd driven away.
Internet and Television were remarkable revelations to me, and made learning everything I'd missed all the easier. I also found a creative outlet among mortals in the form of writing and music. I was never one for more traditional music, what they now referred to as ancient or classical, but this 'modern' music that was coming from so many styles...I found my calling in the various forms of 'Rock and Roll' and the varied genres that branched off from it. It required pain and passion, and sometimes anger, to be able to move your audience. They could tell when you were drawing from your soul and putting it into the lyrics, into the performance, and it was a liberating experience.
I started from the bottom, I kept my wealth and identity a secret, many are still trying to figure out exactly where I came from to no avail. I have no citizenship in any country, no loyalties, no family they know of. And being an enigma has only made them all the more curious of me. I found solace in the music and the performance, and I could put some truths of my past into them subtly, and no one caught on unless they, too, shared a similar heritage. It was a wonderful way to draw out my fellow immortals and speak to them for a time. I was far less alone than I'd realized.
My most recent performance has left an ache in me though. It has been decades since I have seen my mate, and I miss her still. I know she has every right to hate me, and I would not blame her if she left me forever. But the mating mark is still there, she hasn't gone through the ritual to remove it, so she must still care in some way...I need to know where she is, but the barriers between worlds have strengthened again. I can't open another rift without damaging reality, and that's a risk I can't take just yet. I can be patient, and hope she's hearing my songs and will come back to me. She would love what this world has become, she would love the musician's life...and I know she would have a voice to humble these mortals.
He is intimidating, every primal instinct in me told me to run, but he never made a threatening move, just spoke to me plainly and saw the book in my hand, and his eyes narrowed upon it before he looked upon me with scrutiny, then abruptly left me standing there alone. I had just met with my contact and obtained another journal, this one in a modern binding from within the last couple decades at most. He recognized it, I saw it in his eyes when they locked with mine...and I swear I saw the hint of a smirk before he left.
I don't know what to make of this, but if it was him...he's been right under our noses this whole time, in our own capital city. He's been here making a life for himself and watching mortals go about their lives. I can't believe I'm this close, I have to ask him, I need to know. I know where to find him...he's famous after all, his next concert is sold out for next week. His fans don't have any idea, they think he's just a dark doberman mix, they have no idea the wolf demon singing on stage before them.
I've made arrangements to be backstage, I'm going to speak to him.

=========================================================I don't even know where to begin this time. Her people came for me, crippled me, hurt her...and I snapped. Felixious was wounded, bleeding, and being dragged back to Hell by her people, intent on making her be their leader and guide, forcefully if needed, because it was the role she was born for. They didn't care what choices she'd made, or the children we'd had. And as I watched, my body ignited, and my true form came out for the first time in so very long. I slaughtered them all, every Cat Guardian that had dared touch my beloved mate...and I didn't stop. I barely heard her screaming plea as I lunged through the portal and began to slaughter her people to ensure they would never harm her again...I had no thought, I was a beast, a monster...I was myself, and she at last saw me for the horror I could be.
The voices of Legion swirled within me, and at last as her claws gripped my throat I stopped, staring at my beloved as she threw me through the portal...and then refused to come to my side. In that moment I saw her face and I knew I'd probably just lost her forever. The pain, the horror, the betrayal...I had just wiped most of her race in moments, her tribe was the largest concentration of her kind, and barely a handful had been spared my wrath. She didn't speak, but she didn't need to, I shifted into the shadows and ran. I left this reality and broke through into another one, one I'd been in before. I had rage that needed to be sated, and I needed to feel pain, I needed to suffer for what I'd done.

Boosting an artist friend!
Posted 7 years agoOne of my best friends, 
serenityonyx is taking commissions to earn up some money for the holidays and I wanted to help give her a boost!
Her work is great and she's got a pretty quick turnaround, she takes comms on both FA and DA, and I've personally gotten pieces from her before, and her Drow and mine have a longstanding RP relationship. She is a great person and I know you'll all love her!~

The Writings of Tyranous, Part 4
Posted 7 years ago"I found something fascinating among the writings and journals. Through the centuries, this being seemed to try to be part of events, part of the culture. He genuinely seemed to try to fit in with the world around him and live with it, through the endeavors of 'mortals' and yet he never tried to use his apparent power and eternal life to rule over them. He didn't want undue notice, just to...well, live. There is a hunger for life in these writings, and despite the centuries and millenia separating these journals according to our best dating methods, they are undoubtedly from the same hand, the same handwriting habits, and the same mind.
I am also in contact with someone who claims to have journals from this century from this being...one of which is only a few years old. He is still among us seemingly, just watching and interacting as he can. I will have more on this as I am able, but if he is truly still here, we must make priority of finding him, his knowledge could without doubt change the course of our understanding of history, and possibly our futures. The idea both excites and terrifies me. I still am not sure I believe in angels and demons, heaven and hell...but this being is the closest thing to a god we have ever found definitive evidence about. We can't let this slip through our fingers.

I can't understand these mortals at times.
I thought with the Angelic host leaving me in peace, and the few assassins sent by the Burning Hells dispatched with ease, that I might find some manner of peace. I watched them form tribes and the rise and fall of civilizations. The Egyptians were among the most fascinating. Felixious took particular interest in them, and there were actual deific beings watching these mortals. Ra and Set were interesting, they were not demonic or angelic, but living gods born of this reality, anomalies in a strange and wonderful universe beyond the true understanding of mortals. There were others, but Felixious interacted with them more than I did. I enjoyed the company of Set from time to time, but I chose to leave and see more of the world. I found other civilizations and cultures scattered around the globe, and I would stay among them for a time, shifting my appearance to blend in, a trick Set helped me refine.
Centuries passed in this manner, I would return to find my love, she remained with the Egyptians until their civilization began to collapse, a mix of internal conflict and disease spreading through their main settlements. It was a shame to see them fall, but it was simply the cycle of mortality for so very long. Time continued on and we continued moving among them, watching them discover more and more of their own world, wage wars, enjoy peace, and generally be...mortal. It took a lot for me to deny my greedy demonic nature to try to manipulate them, make them serve. It was not my place to do so, and it would bring too much attention to me from both sides of the eternal conflict raging just beyond the borders of this reality.
I did find I was not alone, many others had escaped to this realm for the same solitude I had. We would sense one another when we drew into close proximity, and generally after hesitant posturing we would speak, trade stories, and go about our own business. Then, the mortals did something unexpected....they discovered me.
Ancient Britannia was the first time I'd been unmasked for what I was, and it caught me off guard entirely. They had divine assistance, an archangel with a grudge to settle against me had helped provide them with my identity, I learned later. But they came and burned my home as I slept, I emerged from the flames in a fit of confused anger, priests and armored knights calling out the 'abomination against God' and then...the head priest grinned, and I felt the familiar tingle up my spine. An angel...a powerful one. He called me by name, and I lunged for him. He drew out a shining blade and the mortals surrounded us, but were not ready to risk their own lives yet, not when their leader seemed prepared to fight.
My disguise was lost the moment I touched that angelic blade, the illusion scattered to the winds as my full form as a hellhound was revealed to the mortals, molten fire pulsing through my veins as my markings glowed crimson against the shadow black of my body. Claws met sword again and again, and I could find no flaw in his defense...and then my beloved struck from behind him, an arrow blooming from his shoulder, his defense wavering in surprise, and then my claws found his arm and ripped it open. Brilliant light poured from the wound, the angel unable to hold his own disguise now that I had struck him, and he discarded it and rose above the battlefield. The mortals seemed to lose their resolve now, backing away as the otherworldly fight continued before them, eyes wide in a mix of awe and fear.
I won the fight, but not without cost. A mistake cost me a serious wound to my right shoulder, my front right leg becoming all but useless as I lunged forward and snapped the archangel's neck with my fangs, his form shuddering and dispersing in a keening explosion of sound and light. There were long, silent moments then, the mortals realizing the demon had just won...but was also wounded. They came charging in, and I had no desire to annihilate them, they were no threat to me...but I was blind with anger, and I slaughtered them until Felixious tackled me and allowed the last two to escape as she dragged me away into the wilderness.
It took me centuries to recover from that wound, it still stings in the presence of angels to this day. The heavens lost a mighty warrior that day, and though they condemned his actions as those of a sole fanatic, they openly resent me for killing him. When I recovered, I found mortals had advanced significantly...they had what they'd called technology, but far more advanced than anything I'd seen. Self-powered vehicles without beasts pulling them, metal behemoths flying through the sky, instant communication across the globe. It was magnificent to see what they had achieved, things the heavens and hells could never even conceive of...so uniquely mortal.
They'd also gotten to this point through atrocities and wars beyond description, and I was going to find myself at the heart of history as war broke out across the world, everyone dividing between two sides as armies positioned and prepared to clash once again. I would learn later this was the second such war, and I had missed the first such "World War" near the end of my isolated recovery...

Calling out FA's bullshit.
Posted 7 years agoI want to draw some attention to the inconsistency of FA's administration when dealing with bans.
A good friend of mine,
VanityVixen has had her account permabanned for about a week now and has been trying to appeal with the FA staff through their appeals email address. They banned her just before Black Friday/Cyber Monday began, and this caused her, as both a buyer and a seller as she takes commissions, to miss potentially one of the most lucrative times of year to offer little sales and grab some nice art cheaper.
It took days for them to finally reply to her, and after giving her a bit of a run-around, they told her that she was identified as another banned person and so she too was banned. She was confused and asked for more details, because that was all they told her. A day later they finally told her the person (omitting the name to not call anyone out, per FA rules) and it turns out this was someone who Vanity had given one of her characters to years ago in exchange for some art. She still has Discord logs of the conversation and the trade, and after providing those details to the FA appeals email, she was told that while she is not the person in question, she would remain banned because she had given that person an account without going through the FA staff to do it (the character had it's own account, and she figured it would just be easier to give them the whole account.)
This was years ago, and she has had her FA account for over 6 years now with no issues, and is one of the nicest people I know, but because she's apparently broken a minor rule in the TOS they won't even consider unbanning her, and she can't even make a new account as they'd ban that too.
They made a mistake and banned her in the first place, and now after being shown they've made a mistake they are doubling down on a technicality to push her out of the community because of their own mistake. This is absolute bullshit and I intend to send an email every day to their appeals account linking back to this journal with "You need to address this problem" until they do something reasonable.
I don't plan to stand idly by as someone wrongs a good friend for a minor issue. I never knew of this rule, I doubt most people do, no one actually reads full TOS and you should issue warnings and investigate things before just smacking someone in the face with a banhammer. This website only exists because of it's users, and you don't just shit on your users and expect no one to raise a fuss about it.
Edit: Already received a very generic reply from FA's appeals email.
"I cannot discuss issues involving another user with you. Please do not contact this email unless you need assistance with an issue of your own."
So, I've sent the following reply, and will continue to send a daily email.
"You don't need to discuss it, you just need to make it right. I don't expect you to talk to me about it at all.
Have a great day."
Edit 2: They have lifted her ban finally. Leaving the journal up to keep people aware of the issue but it has finally been resolved.

had to delete a couple shouts lately
Posted 7 years agoI've had to delete a couple shouts lately from some special folks who like to fling insults then block you before you can respond to them. These shouts have each been related to my stance on Antifa, so I'll take a moment to clarify. I am not against fighting fascism. I am not pro-fascist. Yes, fuck the Nazis and the KKK, and also fuck Antifa who in their pursuit to "fight fascism" have themselves become fascists who will accuse anyone who doesn't 100% side with them of being Nazis, and in some cases ATTACKING these innocent people. We don't want you in this community, and if you're too dumb to understand that becoming what you hate is antithetical to your message, then I really don't care what your opinion of me is nor do I care to communicate with you at all, your block means nothing, and you'll find yourselves ostracized from this caring, inclusive community eventually anyway. So please, all furs who support Antifa who don't wish to have a civil discussion on my views and the reasons for them, go ahead and block me. You're not worth my time and I couldn't care less. If you're interested in having an actual discussion on the matter in a respectful way, I am more than happy to engage you.
Have a wonderful day~

Not voting isn't rebellion, it's surrender
Posted 7 years agoToday is voting day, as my previous journal already stated and I hope you already know!
I wanted to make another short journal because I had a friend tell me the stupidest thing I've ever heard them say, and I really want to hope this isn't a real mentality.
"I'm not going to vote because I don't support the way things are, so it's my act of rebellion."
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Refusing to vote isn't an act of rebellion, it is an act of surrender to the way things are, and to the partisan politics that WANT YOU to not go out and vote so they can keep things the way they are!!
If you're truly unhappy with the way things are, GET OUT AND VOTE! Vote for someone who believes what you believe, who you think will push things more towards how you'd like them to be.
I don't care what side of politics you are on, just go vote and use your voice and opinion to push for positive change!!

GO VOTE!!!
Posted 7 years agoIt's November 6th, VOTING DAY IN THE US!! You've had plenty of time to vote early, but if you haven't already TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY FOR YOUR VOICE TO BE HEARD!!!
Please, I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, I implore you to get out and vote, people are turning out like never before in these troubled times, our economy is on the brink of another collapse, and far too many terrible happenings are being ignored or downplayed, or outright lied about.
Please, please please PLEASE, go out and vote with YOUR HEAD, not on a party line! I'm a lifelong fiscal conservative with socially liberal views. I am pansexual, trans, polyamorous, and so much more than these simple titles! I own two guns and I love them, I also believe in common sense gun regulation, background checks, and a proper gun database. I believe that people should be free to live their lives and their identities how they choose, I am a MTF and this is a huge issue to me. I believe in universal healthcare and education for the sake of our future in the international community (we are pathetically behind in both) and I believe people are better than they appear.
You aren't a "socialist" for wanting basic human dignity, health, and opportunity. The U.S. already has socialized systems, everyone pays taxes so everyone can have public schools, lawyers, fire department, police, EMS, and basic infrastructure for this nation to prosper. These are SOCIALIST ideas already implemented, if underfunded in most regards, and it doesn't make us a Socialist country!
America thrives on taking the best ideas of everything the world has to offer, and mashing them together into this beautiful, flawed nation, and I would not wish to live anywhere but here, even in the reign of the orange imbecile.
Please, let common sense and decency win through, don't worry about political parties, their entire purpose is to make you THINK you need them, you don't! Vote for who you believe will do the best job, and have America's well-being at heart! I don't care if they're Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Herald of the Blood God; vote for the candidates that want to care for America's people.
I am a Republican at heart, and I cannot stand with the party that it has become. This is not the Republican party I identified with. I had only one Republican on my ballot this weekend, and I am ashamed at the state of the entire government. Only through voting can we bring REAL change! There won't be a "revolution" in the modern age, you would not be able to organize it fast enough and the military and FBI would be on you in a heartbeat. Stop dreaming childish fantasies that anything other than Voting gives you a voice that matters!! Your vote means nothing only if you don't use it, if we could get everyone in America to actually vote, we'd FINALLY have a government TRULY representative of it's people!
PLEASE GO VOTE!!
