Back, mostly!
Posted 10 years agoSorry for the down time! Had to straighten some stuff out irl. Account is back up, however I probably won't be quite as active/involved as before; was not really accomplishing goals I had for myself in many ways and wasn't satisfied in general pouring so much of myself into the fandom. I've made some changes in my thinking and will be back, if slightly less "around" than before.
I want to be more available to my real life friends as well as pursue my interests in music, motorcycles, and certainly work. As well, I'm being promoted at work and am devoting more of my time to Coffee Master training as well as finishing up my last quarter at University.
Good to see you all again ^^

Bike Knocked Over at Work
Posted 11 years agoSome glorious example of human kind knocked my bike over at work and didn't leave a note. Ugh.
What i walked out to https://imgur.com/a/sOrh7
I'm slowly losing faith in mankind. My week is ruined. I'm gonna go crawl in a corner.

Art and Spending
Posted 11 years agoSO. I'm not going to stop buying art, HOWEVER. I need to reign in my spending a little, it's starting to become an issue especially having just bought a room for Rainfurrest and PAX Prime tickets. BUT - the main reason is because I'm finally getting another motorcycle! Having just spent all of my savings on new gear, I'm going to have to start making loan payments and insurance for it, so I will be cutting back my art spending significantly.
To go along with this, I'd like to answer a question I get asked very often, which is "May I get art with you/May I draw you?" The answer is almost always yes! The only thing I ask is that if there's anything "fetishy" you ask me first to make sure I am okay with it. I bring this up because of this spending cut, I will be looking to get more split commissions instead of so many I pay for fully on my own as I still very much want to continue getting good art. So always feel free to ask me!
<3 You all!

No Art for the Intersexed
Posted 11 years agoSo this is probably a very pointless journal, as all of you that watch me will prolly agree and no one else will see it... BUT I wanna make it anyway cause I'm a snarky bastard.
So I've been getting more and more artists turning me away for commissions, both clean and NSFW, because they refuse to draw male intersex (aka cuntboys).
While many say it's because we're the only sex that bothers them, which is hurtful enough to begin with, more and more have been saying it's because they don't want to "fetishize" intersex people. I have a number of reasons this line of thinking is a problem to me:
1. Speaking just for those of us that are actually intersexed, (as well as those who wish to be in real life) and like ourselves that way, we want to get art of ourselves as we are, just like any "normal" male of female would. Why is us getting porn fetishizing it, but a girl getting a picture of her flaunting her breasts, or a guy waving his dick around aren't fetishizing women or men? This just makes no sense.
2. In turning only us away from getting art, that is just more actively enforcing the idea that we are somehow different from everybody else; this doesn't help our equality in any way what-so-ever, but those artists that turn us away for this reason parade around like they're the champion of intersex/trans rights for striking down and intersex person who just wants art and to show that, hey, we're really here.
3. Some of these artists will draw herms, but not intersex. Let me be so bold as to point out that anthropomorphic animals do not actually exist and neither do true-hermaphrodites in the way that they are depicted in furry art, with the fully formed and working genitalia of both genders, it just doesn't physically work. Yet, intersex people, who do really exist, and much more commonly than people know, they refuse to draw because they bother them or are unrealistic? I don't get it.
4. Some say it's simply because the word cuntboy is offensive, and therefor won't draw us at all. Yes, some people are offended by this name (I am not one of them), but some are. We are actively doing our best to spread the name "male intersex" instead of cuntboy, but in the end, it's the name that everybody already knows. It is simple, yet descriptive, and I only every hear it used lightheartedly. If I am choosing to use that word for myself (which I don't, I say male intersex whenever possible), then obviously I'm not offended by it, and I'm not asking you to put it in your picture or tags or description or anything. It doesn't affect the art.
I could go on and on. A recent example of this from an artist that I won't name, is what has really set me off. In the rules for a YCH he was running, he said "No cuntboys or dickgirls (but trans people are okay)" or something to that nature. Right away this confused me, as a transman would look exactly like a cboy, and a transwomen (pre-op) would look exactly like a dgirl. But anyway, I asked what the reason for the exclusion of intersex people was, and his answer was along the lines of "I refuse to fetishize intersex or trans people." Buuuuuuuut wait a minute... you wont fetishize intersex OR trans people... but you will draw trans people in this pic and not intersex people? What's the dividing line that makes it fetishizing for intersexed people, but not trans people if it's for a YCH--aka the exact same pose/picture for either I just don't understand people some times.
So! in the end, if you're uncomfortable with drawing non binary sexes or genders, fine. I won't give you a watch, but at least you're honest about it. But if you will draw herms or trans people but wont draw cboys? I don't see how this makes any sense at all. We are here, we really do exist irl, without being trans even, and we just want art. I don't understand what all the hatred is about.

A week of 5's + Personal
Posted 11 years agoWow1 It's been an interesting week. I hit 5000 page views, 500 watchers, and 50 submissions, all on the same day; which was absolutely awesome. I really makes me feel great that you guys seem to take whatever little interest in me that you do. I don't know why anyone seems to like me but I simply cant tell you how much I appreciate it <3 I love you guys so so very much, and I'm doing my best to keep up with comments, shouts, and notes and stuff. Thank you guys again.
It has also been a very emotional week for me. While deep down, I have never ever been truly happy for specific personal reasons, this last week as hit me harder than it has in a long time. I've had some great friends keeping me going, but it's getting harder and harder, and I'm fighting. I've been too afraid to get the help I think I really need, but I think I may have hit the point of desperation and I have to do something. I'm in a dark place and I've been trying to fix it by getting more art and thinking popularity will somehow fix how I feel, but I know that won't solve the issue, as much as I wish it would. Hopefully things will start looking up soon.
I know a good number of my friends don't watch me, but if any of you happen to see this: Thank you. Thank you for being there for me when I need it, and just starting conversation sometimes and asking me to relax with you. I'm not one to start up conversation a lot of times, especially when I'm not feeling right so it makes a big difference in my day when you really seem to be interested in how I am and how I'm feeling. I sincerely thank you with all my heart <3
That note aside, I really don't wish to ramble or push my emotional shit on everyone who watches and gives their time to me. I promise it won't be a regular thing in the slightest, I just really needed to tell someone and get a little encouragement as I go into finals week at my University. And speaking of University! If any of you happen to attend the University of Washington (any of the campuses, especially Bothell or Seattle) hit me up1 I'd love to have some people to hang out with some times!
Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate you guys, truly. Every watch and comment and interaction really makes me feel that people care, you guys are awesome <3

Comments
Posted 11 years agoIt has come to my attention that I am terrible at answering all the comments and shouts I get x3 I'm gonna try and change this!
I really appreciate everything you guys say, and take the time to show appreciation for my stuff. You deserve my time back and I'm gonna start trying to get better at giving it to you! I work full time and go to University full time so I may be delayed in responding sometimes, but I promise to start trying to do my best at it!
Thank you all so much

Grow Up.
Posted 12 years agoFor anyone that cares: The sheer absence of maturity I've seen in the fandom lately is incredibly disheartening. Grow up. We aren't little children and it's time to stop acting like it. Start acting like the grown fucking adults that you are. I'm done being dragged into childish arguments over petty misunderstandings and overreactions.
I'm not going to sit here and muse as to why we can't all "just get along" but I will tell you to deal with your problems like the grown ass people you are.
TL;DR Grow the fuck up people.
