Most of the comms and artworks have been uploaded. There's a few others missing, I may get around to uploading later, but in the case of one I can't find the artist to credit any more, and some of the others I know where the artists are but need to ask if they're fine with it being uploaded here.

Then some of it is stuff featuring ex which I'd rather not upload, or gifts from ex I'd rather not upload.

I have been up for around 20 hours. I feel sloppy uploading. Bear with any spelling errors or scraps in main or missing keywords I just wanna get some more artworks uploaded and shared

The subject/title is a bit random and perhaps only tangentially related; that rant will come shortly

I'm gonna be honest, uploading and tagging at least somewhat effectively and relevant to uploaded image scared us from here for maybe too long? It's not that difficult though, and you can always go back to smooth over any little mistakes or update... It was just a lot to take in and try I guess. Now there's one hell of a backlog and I've found myself weighing some options.

I want to post Other's (wonderful) refsheet, and some associated pieces to Scraps, but a lot of them are just SO BIG. Like 26mb. Painstakingly detailed. They'll lose quality and you'll miss some of it, but you'll still see it; see who made it, maybe go give her a look; some awareness will be spread.

We had watched dingdongs paying $8/month for a site actively getting excreted out of an asshole billionaire's orifice, then front row tickets to attempts at flushing it down a figurative faux-gold-plated throne, by comparison this is a much nicer place. It has, and has had its flaws, by all means; but it has improved. The months since the former owner's passing have shown some of it, hell the reason he owned it was pretty solid reasoning from what I recall (keeping it out of corporate hands, or something). In short this place is probably something we should start contributing to lol.

One reason for the sudden interest and activity here was the loss of meaning; as well as a "side quest", if you will, related to that. The internet has been hitting enshittification goals for about as long as profit-before-lives types have been slavishly demanding Line Go Up.

It's exponentially worsened over about the past year, with techbro hyperfixation upon generative "artificial intelligence" (read: plagiarism uncanny valley program whose smile does not reach its eyes) leading to unhelpful help guru copypastes algorithm'd over first results in many search engines and honestly, a further disconnect from things I want to see. This is to say nothing of its image generation escapades, the culmination and ultimate contribution of "artists' work as content to be commercialized and profited from in a corporate sense".

Video sharing sites are full of minute-or-less trendchaser brainrot moments made by people desperate to be that content carpet, to be stepped on, soiled, and thrown out instead of truly seen and heard. Nostalgia bait is rampant, some good, surely, but plenty done simply to throw spaghetti at a wall and see what sells.

Meaning, for us, feels like it's gradually being replaced with an ingenuine, machine-approximation of meaning which tries to hit all the sweet notes which define it; yet is ultimately hollow and devoid of that which it sought to replace. Meaning loses meaning in a desperate bid to make a quick buck off that which remains unsold.

Our side quest for the present and the future is to seek meaning. True meaning. Genuine people with genuine work, maybe not always made with genuine love but at least with genuine interest in their craft. Real recognizes real. Your yum can be my yuck and I may have no interest in it; but I will respect it and you if it's earnest. If it's your meaning.

I come here in an attempt to show and share something of meaning with folks in varying states of acquaintance; I come here to see their meaning as well. Ideas made manifest as image or text, commissions paid for an artist's effort to turn ideas into a piece of reality, a piece of reality we all share enjoyment in. Real interaction, real engagement, furry that's simply unmarketable to a corporate demographic but has all the meaning in the world to you or I.

I want that locally run hobby shop and hardware store vibe, not big box store vibe. Let's find and keep and cherish the joy of meaning together.

I built a PC (actually 2) because I was bored. I got a few jobs and just work one now. I have several imported cars because that seemed whimsical and also fun to try. I CONTAIN MULTITUDES. (seriously. it's hilarious)


Also decided maybe updating this and using it as a gallery of commissioned art might be worth doing, just in case anyone finds our kind of weird to be to their liking and wants to see more, in one convenient space, from the comfort of their chosen screen.

Aside from that isn't it kinda creepy when you get favorites or whatever from some rando, you're curious and go look, and it's some super dead old account that hasn't seen much life but faving niche fetish art in like, 5 whole years? No offense to yall that still do that but it aint the life for me. I may wanna comm more folks here using notes or something!!! I wouldn't trust me on how this place has looked the past forever. so abandoned soso abandoned!

Other than that updating random links since friends have moved around, several sites died, whatevs

FA got DDoS'ed, yeah? I'm glad everything seems to be alright. Sucks that people are like that, though.

All of the gift art I've posted so far has been from friends. You may not/probably won't get something from them if you ask for free art.

Shiwan and (about to be posted) Keewan do have commissions either open or available from time to time, though.


Just figured I'd mention that.

Hey. I guess I'll try being active here more. I guess. Still updating stuff though (well, waiting for permission to update some more).

Sorry. I gotta update this.

I guess I'll try doing stuff here again!

I should totally add more stuff here, but I don't really do anything so well. Maybe I should just write stuff down.

Anyways, I'm gonna resize an image and set it as my PFP later, but for now I have a few things I'd like to submit. I tried drawing, what I made sucks, but still I'm quite new to drawing. While I do find far too many flaws in it and I shoot myself down way too much, I'm trying to give myself a break because I can't be at an expert's level within an average week of mine.

Honestly, I have no reason to and no clue as to why. I just did it. Anyways, first journal entry or whatever. Call me Other, some friends call me Lola, one called me Hether, and one called me Andromeda. I don't really care what you call me so long as it isn't particularly rude.

Anyways, I'm going to TRY to write a few short stories since my art skills and supplies are quite subpar. If I tried to draw it'd be like going into a shootout with a dull butterknife, tl;dr pretty bad chances against me. Not something I wanna do.

Anyways, other than that, I have something interesting on Pokémon Moon. I have about 50 legal Softboiled Clefable(HARD TO GET) and I'm giving them away for free, all I want is a fodder Pokémon of your choice. My FC is 0447-6271-3902.

Now, I have to figure out how to write stuff and HOPEFULLY it'll be original so that I can start something. One of my biggest fears is doing something 'original' only to realize someone else did it first.
