Curiouscat shenanigans?
Posted 3 years agoI guess I should make sure my FA audience knows what's going on my twitter... I've got a Curiouscat. So if you got questions for any of my characters, or if you wanna ask me anything - this is the place to do it! I'm ok with most things sfw and nsfw, just like don't go full cringe. Or I might just ignore it and move on xD But also I'll more than likely answer most things so maybe not.

Mini Hiatus Explained
Posted 3 years agoSo. I didn’t poor but in the chaos of moving my charger stopped working. It made getting online difficult on mobile and I can’t exactly upload and interact well on my phone. Add in I finally get the place and I move in but I have next to no cell service and the ISP isn’t set up yet so it’ll be another few days before I’m truly back. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience!
Life Update - Housing's a BITCH yo
Posted 3 years agoAlright so I've been rather silent for a while now. Figured I should probably say something so you know I didn't like get kidnapped in Indiana or something. I made it to Chicago and I'm officially here.
That said - nothing's perfect. I should already have known that knowing how my life always goes but hey. I'm already driving 1000 miles northwest I figured what's worse than backroads off I-64 in West Virginia right?
Well TL;DR the house my roommates and I were set to have? We didn't get it. Rented out from underneath us for whatever reason legal or otherwise but still 100% shitty. We're not homeless thank goodness. But conditions will be a little cramped for the short term. I've got employment now, and I think I'm already loving where I am despite only having had training and been invited out to meet most of the coworkers outside the office.
Like everything else in life - it ain't perfect at face value. But I'll get through it, and will probably have a better appreciation for it going forward. But for now? I'm officially in Chicago. I drive in Chicago. I'll be working in Chicago and I'm gonna love it and make the best of it.
Thank you for the kind wishes from before the trip - now wish me luck I don't mess it up and have to hightail it at the first opportunity LOL

Going Offline - MOVING!
Posted 3 years agoHey y'all. Just wanted to say that I'm going to likely be offline for the rest of this week. Between moving, getting re-established in my new home, etc., there won't be new uploads or much happening for those of you who have sent me notes (you know who you are :p). Best way for the people I regularly interact with to keep in touch with me is over discord anyway. So until Saturday/Sunday, I'm going to be offline for a while!
Thank you for your understanding, and next time I'm online, I'll be in a new town, in a new state, in a new time zone! Woop Woop!

Note and Disclaimer Regarding All Arts On My Page
Posted 3 years agoSince this needs to be said - allow me to make things perfectly and painstakingly clear: Under no circumstances, unless you are someone who (A) I have given expressed written permission to, (B) someone who is a personal friend of mine and who likely has already obtained such expressed written permission, or © someone working by and through someone who has expressed written permission from me, no one is allowed to use, edit, trace, or otherwise recreate any of my commissioned works for ANY reason. If it comes to my attention that my characters' likenesses or art is being used for any reason not coinciding with the above referenced exceptions, I will ask only ONCE to have any and all such works removed and destroyed. If and when that does not work, I will be reporting the uploads, profiles, etc. of the relevant party or parties.
Be Advised.

WATCH OUT FOR IMPOSTERS
Posted 3 years agoSee this journal from Goat-kid https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10120806/
And please, beware of people going around with FA profiles that are just your name with a (-) after it. The system lets them take credit on some links if someone has deactivated their page, but even worse, it looks like the real deal when they note you about commissions, payments, etc. I admittedly fell for it but since I wasn't looking to spend what I originally bid before I was outbid in a ych, I didn't end up buying into it.
Just please be careful guys. Support your artists, but make sure it's actually them. And to the scammers out there? Go fuck yourselves. Raw. With a rusty pitchfork.

Thoughts on Cons?
Posted 4 years agoI've never done a convention before. And honestly, this is all pretty damn new to me. Now, I'd helped set up conventions before - my college hosted a Kigacon some years back, I've helped a comicon, and so on and so on. So this is all not entirely new in the physical sense. But in terms of experience, this is my first furry convention to be sure. And I'm going to MFF in December. In person. Plane tickets already purchased and arrangements made. The whole nine yards.
And I am equal parts hype and anxiety over it lmfao. I dunno, I guess a part of me is afraid to step away from the "behind the screen" part of things? Like some people I'm going to be meeting up with already "know" me irl, so it's not going to be too weird, I think.
I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe not. Would love to hear others' thoughts about it.

Come the fuck on twitter
Posted 4 years agoBruh I don't even know how to explain this, but my twitter is locked right now.
Either their algorithm is beyond broken (I mean I know it is, but still) or someone being petty reported a tweet of mine. I wake up to a notification saying that one of my tweets was flagged for self harm. Here's the thing. This is the tweet - I was replying to a friend's quote tweet with some DAMN nice pecs. The Male Booba was strong here. Really strong. And I say as follows:
"@reply (because it @'s them) a pec valley perfect for you to dive your face into"
This is literally just me simping. No suicide or self harm. So Twitter fix yo shit :v or if someone was actually petty enough to report me for this? Grow the fuck up already. Whatever beef you think you have clearly is nothing but childishness at this point if you're resulting to flagging kinks as against Twitter's rules.
And If the latter, I'm willing to bet $10 your shit is probably worse than mine.

Adrian Banner N-S-F-W Bio
Posted 4 years agoBecause my genius tail forgot to have that written up; might as well keep 'er going!
Name: Adrian Banner
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Nationality: Cuban
Species: Sea Otter
Color-
Fur: Cascading from dark at the extremities to light brown at the neck. Light-furred head
Hair: blonde
Eyes: Dark
Markings: Markings: None
Height: 6 Feet, 2 Inches (~188cm)
Weight: 185lbs (~84kg)
Build: Athletic (Runner's / Swimmer's body)
--Combat—
Alignment: Tweener (Slight Heel lean)
Fighting Style: Orthodox Kickboxer
Don’ts: Extreme injury
--Personality--
Hobbies: Always playing football (Soccer for the Americans), Swimming, Partying
Likes: Spicy Food, Competition, a bratty smirk
Dislikes: Ignorance; Seriousness
Fetishes: Switch, Anal focus, oral fixation
Orientation: Bisexual, with some preference towards men
Disposition: Switch
Donts: No Watersports, scat, excessive bloodplay, gore
-History--
Personal History: Born in Matanzas, Cuba but quickly joining his family in traveling the world, Adrian was no stranger to new experiences. He thought he hit his high when he got a silver medal in a track competition, followed shortly by a hard-fought swim meet that had him eliminated but living in a sports high. One day a bit of banter went too far and he ended up with kickboxing gloves on. Needless to say he wasn't useless, but he had his ass handed to him in more ways than one. So why not play for a new challenge right? Before long, he's a professional!
Fighting/Tournament Experiences: Tournament experiences? Nothing. But fighting generally he's improved taking on more and more fighters to just grow himself as a performer and an athlete. He makes a point of using his skills as a runner and swimmer to outlast many opponents in terms of endurance where strength couldn't. Can't say it worked every time, but his benchmark for a fight was just this: Give him a good time, and he'll give a good time right back!

--History--
Personal: Juni grew up on the reservation for her whole life. It wouldn't be until she took up some gloves that she started thinking of ways to explore more of the world - and herself as a result. Still, even in all the fun fighting would give her, she still would find her way back home. And she's happy to be there. But don't think she won't find any excuse to hop in the ring and give you a good time while she's at it!
Boxing Style: Juni is a hard-hitting inside boxer with emphasis on a nasty hook and uppercut combos. As for erotic boxing, Juni enjoys being teasing and playful to get her opponent on the very edge of exploding right before she finishes them off with the simplest of touches. Also has nearly perfected the art of the tailjob and is effective at sweet-talking her opponent into relaxing into her sexual assaults.

A Request, if you Will
Posted 5 years agoHey y'all - i'm trying to do a thing. But that thing requires someone who is an EXPERT in the art of Thicc
So this is the part where I come to you all for help. Assuming anyone reads these lmao
If you know an artist who is pretty damn good at what they do, and they either specialize in, or work very well with thicc characters, please link them to me either in the comments or in Notes. I'm trying to get a semi-gift for an old friend, but it requires this. And for reference, when I say thiccc, I don't mean like "athletic figure but with ass n tiddy"
No. I'm looking for fluff, leaning a bit towards heavyset but without being like extreme bbw or "fat" if you catch my drift. I'm bad with descriptors.... so why the heck do I write then???
Thanks for any and all help! And stay awesome friends!

My Year in Review
Posted 5 years agoIt's definitely been a wild ride thus far. Sometimes I don't even know just how or where or why I've done the things I did, or got to the place I'm at now, but I kinda did it in a way.
5 Days from now last year I was walking across the stage and obtaining my Bachelor's degree. I'm the first in my family to traditionally go to college and get out with a degree. At that point, with my mom's and dad's extended family there, my youger sisters screaming their lungs off near the Science building under the shade of one of the big trees of the great lawn, my professors done up in their robes looking proud as hell (especially my advisor, who to date still remains the Political Science Department's resident memelord), etc etc., I thought I could go no further up.
I started a job at a small local law firm, working basically as a paralegal, filling out applications to and subsequently even getting accepted into law school. I moved, like 3 times, and had to say goodbye to a lot of friends who all moved back home upstate while I remained where I am now. I started my semester, and within a couple months I was finally taking a plunge and becoming active in the community we're all in here. Art sharing, art buying/making, stories, (yes even RP shenanigans) and more. I found not just a part of myself that I didn't quite realize I WAS before, but I also was fortunate to discover a lot of friends in the meantime. There were some hiccups along the way: friends who are no longer friends, some mistakes that I made, some people who showed their true colors and who burned bridges with me and others....
...world events like what's been going on like crazy pretty much since the beginning of this year...
...but after all that happened, good or bad, I'm still incredibly happy to see what has become of myself, what has become of (mostly) everyone who I've met and engaged with, and much much more. Even now, I have plans for the summer and (hopefully) the fall semester starting August, depending on how things go internationally with current events as they are.
I say all this to say. I somehow lived a lot more of my life in the last 360 days than I might have lived for the entire 21-ish years of my life before them. And I look forward to the next year that comes from it.
To those who helped me along the way - y'all are the real MVPs. To those who clashed with me along the way, I ain't mad (mostly) and I do hope y'all are okay and find peace. But for now, I can say with relative certainty, that it's officially summertime in the Rinkan world, which means I've got a LOT of fun and catching up to do!!!!
Thanks for tuning in to the ramblings of a barely-out-of-his-teens guy!

A Couple of 25-cent Legal terms
Posted 5 years agoSo I'm a law student. I, like many law students, shove that fact (sorry lol) into roughly 60% of my conversations. That of course being a conservative estimate.
That being said, there's some things that I learn in law school that are INCREDIBLY useful for us in the outside furry world. Things my Property professor likes to call "25-cent legal terms." So here's a couple terms for people to learn about.
INTENT vs MOTIVE
Intentional actions is defined by the 3rd Restatement of Torts (paraphrasing) as an action that someone voluntarily makes against another person, anticipating or having knowledge to a substantial certainty that something is going to happen because of hte action taken.
Motive is defined as the logic or reasoning behind the action that someone otherwise voluntarily makes.
Now that we have that out of the way, I'll rephrase both in the most simplest terms.
Intent is the "what" of your actions. Motive is your "why" of the action. If I pull a weapon on you in a dark alleyway, I know for a fact that you are going to believe to some degree of certainty that I'm going to attack you regardless of whether I do it. I may have wanted to show off something cool or maybe the "weapon" was really a gift. But the reasoning or my motive is irrelevant when I know that "Hmm... bringing you to a dark alleyway to show you this cool bat I found might make you think I'm gonna swing it at you."
Now take that logic and apply it to anything, including but not limited to a conversation or even a comment on someone's profile/ piece of art. If you do something knowing how someone may respond, especially if that response is in the negative, then maybe you shouldn't do it? "Oh I was just bantering." "Oh I thought it would be funny!" "Oh I didn't mean for it to come out that way"
Those responses become moot because you were so focused on the "why," you failed to realize WHAT you were doing.
So yeah. TL:DR think about your actions. And not just "why" you do something. Because if we're still hung up on "what" you did, maybe the reason isn't the issue here at all, and the action itself is.
That being said, there's some things that I learn in law school that are INCREDIBLY useful for us in the outside furry world. Things my Property professor likes to call "25-cent legal terms." So here's a couple terms for people to learn about.
INTENT vs MOTIVE
Intentional actions is defined by the 3rd Restatement of Torts (paraphrasing) as an action that someone voluntarily makes against another person, anticipating or having knowledge to a substantial certainty that something is going to happen because of hte action taken.
Motive is defined as the logic or reasoning behind the action that someone otherwise voluntarily makes.
Now that we have that out of the way, I'll rephrase both in the most simplest terms.
Intent is the "what" of your actions. Motive is your "why" of the action. If I pull a weapon on you in a dark alleyway, I know for a fact that you are going to believe to some degree of certainty that I'm going to attack you regardless of whether I do it. I may have wanted to show off something cool or maybe the "weapon" was really a gift. But the reasoning or my motive is irrelevant when I know that "Hmm... bringing you to a dark alleyway to show you this cool bat I found might make you think I'm gonna swing it at you."
