Not even 6 months into the year and I already feel like I don’t wanna be here anymore.

Started off with the death of a family friend. I didn’t get to see her too often, but I’ve always liked Susan. She was the true definition of an artisan; Whatever she wanted to make, she would. She was mainly a seamstress, but she also loved using recycled materials as her medium. A very kind and nurturing woman, she was often the only person that my aunt’s boyfriend could talk to in order to get stuff off his chest because they were the oldest and dearest of friends. Now, he’s started to close himself off from other people again because of her death... 😔

I’m still working in the Downtown Eastside, aka the literal definition of insanity. I can’t even begin to describe the absolute batshit insane things I’ve seen on my way to and from work and sadly, it just keeps getting worse.

EDIT: Thank for reloading the page while I was typing, FA! I LOVE having 40+ minutes of work just completely removed, thank you!!!! 😃

Holy fucking shit, amazing!!! Well, whatever. Seeing as the website was being bored by my journal post, I’ll do the Cliffs Notes:

• Cat’s got a urinary tract infection and has to take special medicine.
• My best friend’s depressed over his parents fighting over the house. His dad is trying to sell the place under him and his mom.
• His brother developed stomach ulcers and is suffering from a genetic blood disease. His life expectancy is not looking good and he’s the father of 2 girls under 3.
• I’m becoming increasing stressed and depressed from my job and where I work. I see crazy shit on a nearly daily basis and I feel my mental health suffering.
• I feel like absolute shit for not being able to focus on stories for those I promised stories for, as well as commissions with people I haven’t commissioned yet.
• I’m really pissed off at FA for deleting my post halfway through typing. I now forgot the original point of this journal.
• I’ll upload Hielo’s pics soon, but I probably won’t add a description for now because I can’t focus right now.

It’s been a while since I streamed anything, so I figured why not do an impromptu stream of Elden Ring now that I finally have some time off? 😁

I’m currently at Redmane Castle and am about to participate in the Radahn Festival with a status-based melee character, sooo.... should be fun! 😂😅

If anyone interested in watching, check out my Youtube channel. I’ll be starting at around 5:30pm-6ish PST, if you wanna check it out and watch me get my ass destroyed. 😂

Sorry it took so long, folks! Busy/stressful times for Skunky, but what else is new? 😅

I’m not too sure if you remember An ‘Aura’ Reading that the wonderful  MaleLucarioFTW made a while ago, but the pic itself was just sort of a little teaser for the main attraction: The animation!

There are two versions (Silent/Sounds) and both links are on the pic page, but I was having issues getting the links to work on my phone for some reason. If they don’t work for you, just look up Skunky’s Stroll on Youtube and it should pop up.

Thanks for your patience! 😁

Pepe Le Pew was such a huge influence for me over the years, especially when I was a kid, and I think it’s stupid how they did him wrong. Screw that cancel culture bs! 😠

Maybe sign the petition to help bring him back pretty please? 🥺

Why is reCAPTCHA forced upon people just trying to sign back into their accounts? 🤨

I mean, what are the odds that a PERSON who made their account and got past the CAPTCHA section is gonna end up being a bot when they log back into their account? Pretty small I’d say.

Meanwhile, someone like me whose phone apparently refuses to ever get future updates is stuck scrambling, trying to figure out how to just Save/Download an animated commission I got, even though my phone apparently can’t save animations DIRECTLY TO ITSELF and can only send them to the Cloud or Google Drive (neither of which I can access because my phone CAN’T DOWNLOAD/UPDATE anything anymore).

So instead, my option is to use my slow-ass laptop to download and save the animations, but lo and behold a new obstacle! It absolutely REFUSES to load the reCAPTCHA page, instead telling me to ‘reload the page and try again’ every single time without even a hint of it even trying to load. It’s already been 20 minutes of me repeating this endless cycle of bullshit: type, click, wait, error, refresh, etc...

I absolutely LOVE when 3rd-party links/apps/garbage prevent you from doing the most basic of tasks. Maybe I, oh I don’t know, actually WANT to sign into my account on my computer so I can upload the animations? Why exactly am I prevented from doing this all because some program that literally does nothing but gatekeep doesn’t want to be bothered to load in a timely fashion? Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn’t get animations anymore?

All I know is that the ads on the page load and work perfectly fine. That’s the important thing after all! Who cares about actually being able to access the site, right?

Hey guys and gals! Sorry I haven’t been active much. A combination of work, home life and crappy weather has had me feeling kinda depressed the last few weeks, but it’s time to stop feeling sorry for myself and actually DO stuff! Starting with posting those alts of the Scent Mage pic.

Also, I’ll probably end up messaging the people who participated in the pop quiz and ask them what they want their stories to be like. I also have to keep working on my trade with Goblin. Man, I’ve got so much to do. 😅

Love how FA doesn’t remember what I just typed 5 minutes ago after my phone goes into Rest mode, but it DOES remember my last post had comments disabled, so of course have it ticked by default now! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Man I loooove how ass backwards some websites and apps are sometimes! 😄

So I’m just trying to create a PayPal.me link, filled out the link, it was available, I agree... Oh, vague error message. Try again later.
*Tries again later.*
Vague error message. Try again later.
*Tries the next day.*
Error message. Error message. Fuck you, error message.
💢

*Attempts to search Help for a possible answer.*
Okay, let me type in ‘can’t create paypal.me link’ and.... somehow no one’s had that issue? I find that hard to believe. Let me try Contact Us.
*None of the listed options about issues pertain to mine.*
Alright, I’ll just write an email to them then to try and sort out this issue.
*No option to just WRITE AN EMAIL, instead you get the SAME listed issues as before!*
💢💢

Holy shit, fine! I’ll search Google because apparently PayPal is too fucking incompetent to even function properly. What does Google say?
[I can’t create PayPal.me link (SOLVED)]
Finally!!! Click!

*Guy talks about how he can’t create a link and it keeps sending him back.
Guy number 2: Maybe it’s not available in your country/region.
Guy 1: Oh yeah, that was it. Thanks.*

...................
*Lives in Canada, and based on the response INSTANTLY starts questioning if Canadians can make Paypal links.*
Welp, better search the most updated list to see if Canada’s there! Hopefully the fact that I live in a 3rd World country with barely a roof to cover my head won’t stop me from sending/receiving payments!
*Canada’s not listed.*
....Fucking REALLY?!?
*Googles exact same question but adds ‘in canada’ at the end.*
[Do PayPal.me links work in Canada?]
{Answer: Yes! Good news Canada! Now you too can receive payments in the futuristic year of.....
*Drumroll.*



2015! 😃}

So................ I wasted ALL that time? For nothing?!?
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

————————

All it says is “Let’s try that again! We’re having a problem creating your profile right now!” Literally no information, no explanation, no rhyme or fucking reason. Just a big fat greasy dildo made of rusty nails straight up my ass! I can send payments just fine, but I can’t receive payments for commissions for people, or from anywhere for that matter!

I’m given no description of the error, no way to report the issue, no way to contact ‘customer support’ and no way to fix this! Nothing pisses me off more than stupid crap like this. I shouldn’t be getting so stressed about something so stupid the day before my FUCKING BIRTHDAY!!! 🤬🤬🤬

I may just have to find a different payment app than PayPal. I’m sure they’ve already scanned my info and are planning to clear out my bank card the moment I close my account on that shitty app, so I guess I’m fucked either way.... *Sighs.*

Just... Fucking 1 day. Can I just have 1 good day for once?!?

Damn, it’s been a long time since I posted a journal. Just a heads up, I HAVEN’T been camping for more than 4 months, I’ve just been busy. 😂😅

First and foremost, thank you to all 100 of my Watchers for... watching me! 😃😃😃

I really appreciate all of the support as I slowly chug along with my sona and figure stuff out along the way. I’m trying to stay in touch with as many of you guys, girls, or however you identify as possible, but work has been pretty busy lately. For those who don’t know, I’m working at a place that makes food for people who live in low-income housing units in one of the roughest neighbourhoods in North America. It’s not usually too strenuous of a job, but some of the sights I see every day to and from work are pretty fucked up to say the least. I don’t want to get into details because I don’t want to risk breaking ToS for subject matter or something, so I’ll just give you a visual:

Picture the average person you see on the street who asks for change. He has a small black case that kinda looks like a carrying case for a DS clipped to his pants. It’s carrying a small syringe with a drug that if administered fast enough, can stop an overdose and help to revive the person. Now picture him passed out with needles scattered at his crossed feet with his head lying flat against the pavement. It’s impossible to tell if he’s breathing from how he’s sitting. You want to help him, but at the same time, you don’t want to end up becoming a target either, so you have to leave him...

Damn, that took a dark turn. My bad. I’ll try and keep it more light for the rest of this journal. 😥

Anyways, it can be a pretty stressful job. But I’m trying to reach out to as many of you guys as possible and if it’s been a while since you heard from me, feel free to gently remind me. I won’t always be available, but I’ll certainly try.


So, next on the docket we have upcoming stuff. Currently I have a few commissions in the works and some more I plan on getting involving Skunky. Most will be smelly, there might be a few non-smelly ones too. I also have stories to get done too. My immediate plans in terms of my produced content is to do Chapters 2 and 3 of Feet Dreams and What Is A Foot Trance? respectively, along with a little picture I was working on for a bit.

I also have a few feet stories I gotta do for some people, including the Lucky Winner of the Popquiz Hotshot! Question! 🥳🥳🥳

Hah! Thought I forgot, didn’t you? Well I did, so the joke’s on you! 😋 But now I remembered so here we go!

For those who forgot, the question was:

If I approached you on the street and I suddenly told you... ”I’ve been wearing the same socks for 144 days now, pretty sweet huh? 😁”

...What would be the most accurate response?

A) “Oh jeez, that’s downright REPULSIVE!”
B) “Get rid of those DISGUSTING things!”
C) “I can smell those GROSS sock from here!”
D) “Your socks smell NAUSEATING, put them away!”


And the winner of the quiz is.....  Redsuns433!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Only 3 people participated, but interestingly enough Red got it right in the first try. The correct answer was C) “I can smell those GROSS socks from here!” Why?

Because gross is another, albeit outdated name for a specific number, 144. It was used back when certain foods were served ‘by the gross’ and applied to fresh produce mostly, although smaller, drier foods like nuts and seeds could be sold that way too.

 SkunkKitsune1 technically got 2nd and  WaylonKillerCroc gave his own answer about how badly he wanted to smell them, so they’ll be getting the participant prize: A one-shot, multi-paragraph ‘microstory’ about their OCs being smothered under my smelly feet. 😁

Red wins the big prize though. A one-shot, multi-paragraph story about his OC being smothered underneath my smelly feet... while I’m wearing actual ’gross’ socks! 144 Days, Red... hope your nose is ready. 😏😏😏


What else? Oh yeah! My birthday’s on Monday and I’m both excited and not because I gotta work that day and from the sounds of it, it’s gonna be a long one. 😅 But at least I’ll be visiting with friends and family, so I’m stoked about that too!

So... yeah, I guess that’s it. I probably won’t be too active the next few days, but I’ll certainly try. Just wanted to let you guys know what was happening on my end. Thanks again to everyone who’s ever Faved my content, Watched me or has ever smelt my feet. I really appreciate everything you guys have done and as soon as I figure it out, I’ll do some sort of special occasion to mark the... occasion.

Anyways, it’s late and I’m rambling now. Have a good sleep and feet dreams! 😁

Just a heads up that I’ll be going camping for about 4 days, so I probably won’t be on here or Discord too much. I’ll reveal the correct answer to the “Pop Quiz, Hotshots!” thing when I get back, but hopefully there’ll be more guesses when I get back.

I plan on bringing some art supplies with me so I can get some drawing done as well as some writing. Thanks for being so patient and I’ll see you guys soon. 😁

I’ve been pretty busy with work recently and I haven’t really had much time to plan on what I should do next, so I’m asking you guys. What should I do?

• Draw a pic of Skunky’s feet
• New one-off story
• Foot Trance Part 3
• RL feet/sock pics
• Draw a new OC
• Other (suggestions)

Thanks for helping me with this and sorry for the short post. 😅

Hey friends and peeps. Hope everyone’s enjoying March so far. This is just a quick update on the current state of things:

• I lost my job recently, so I’ve been pretty bummed about that.
• Had a bit of an issue with writer’s block, but I plan on posting a bunch of new things tomorrow, including 2 recipes and (hopefully) Foot Trance part 2.
• I still need to figure out PayPal.
• My skunk socks are STILL being worn (expect a new pic soon).
• I’m trying to edit/post more videos on Youtube. Sadly, I only have ShareFactory to work with right now, so expect the quality to be, well... ShareFactory quality. 😅

I’m also gonna be streaming Final Fantasy 7 today. It’s not gonna be a super long stream, but my goal is to at least get out of Midgar by the stream’s end, because most people stop their FF7 Let’s Plays near there. But I say “screw that noise, I’m beating this bitch!” And so I’ll try to keep posting those regularly.

In case you’re interested, here’s my Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCHETJu.....KkyIs4i7OR7Qqw

I’m also looking for more people to play with, so if you wanna be PS4 buds, my username is psycoskunk. Just let me know in the request who you are if your FA username is different than your PSN.

Finally, I just want to thank everyone who’s watched me and chatted with me since I’ve joined. I feel bad when I go for long periods without uploading anything, so I want to try and post more content more regularly to make up for it. Tomorrow’s gonna be a big content dump, so like Scar sang to the hyenas in The Lion King... “Be prepared!!!!”

This is just a quick heads-up to everyone I chat with, either on Discord, here or... I guess just those two methods. 😂😅

I got a new job recently that has me working from 9-5 on weekdays with about a 2 hour commute both ways. Seeing as most of the people I chat with live on the East Coast/Europe, this means that by the time I get on, it could be as early as 3am for UK peeps and around 10pm for the East Coast. So more than likely, I’ll mostly be posting on the weekend. I’ll try my best to chat with you guys when I’m off, but I’m a very busy skunk.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🙂

I had to put my cat down yesterday... This is this first time in my entire life that I haven’t had a cat and.... I just feel... empty inside now.

I don’t know what else to say, so I guess here’s the Rainbow Bridge. Maybe one day I’ll see her again... 😔😔😔


————————

The Rainbow Bridge (author unknown)

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old have been restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed were made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who they had to leave behind...

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Their bright eyes are intent; Their eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them faster and faster.

....You have been spotted!

And when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain down upon your face; your hands again caress their beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your loving pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart...

And then.... you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.....

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that the stench won’t give Santa a scare...


Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing and whoever you’re spending it with, I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, a happy and prosperous New Year and above all..... oooo! 😯

*Notices the mistletoe hanging just above his fragrant toes. The wafting fumes were noticeably more pungent than usual as the bashful skunk tries (unsuccessfully) to keep his cool and ignore the surprisingly resilient plant.*

H-hey look... that’s... huh. 😳😅

Happy Jolly Burglar Month!!! 😁😁😁

It feels like everything’s simultaneously grinding to a halt, and yet speeding towards the finish line. I’m looking forward to the end of this gong show of a year but at the same time, I want to try and get into the holiday spirit this year by not only setting up my Christmas village, but also getting started on some homemade liqueurs.

About 2 years ago, I came across a small, hand-typed book at a roadside bookstand on a small island. In it, it details a little under 60 different recipes for making your own fruit/herbal liqueurs ranging from Cherry Brandy and Peach Liqueur to Green Tomato Liqueur and Moka (similar to Kahlua) that can take as little as 5 minutes to make (Irish Cream) or up to almost 2 years (Green Grape Vermouth). Each recipe is fairly simple, all it really takes is time and patience. I try to stick to the recipes under 1 month, but there are a ton of long-term ones I want to try.

This year, I plan on doing Cranberry, Blueberry and Irish Cream liqueurs for friends and family. At some point, I want to see if I can maybe start a side business of making small batches for folks to enjoy. I’d need to look into the logistics of it, but it’d be cool to sell some. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve had quite a few people tell me my Irish Cream is better than Bailey’s... 😳

I’m still going to be posting feet stuff... eventually. 😅 I’ve been swamped with life stuff for a while, but I’m going to be trying to get some WIP stories finished and uploaded soon. Eventually I wanna draw some more Skunky art too. But more than likely, there’ll be drinks first.

I’ve heard really interesting things about this notoriously ‘raunchy’ short story by famed author Kurt Vonnegut and after reading it just now I’ve come to realize something.... humanity’s kinda fucked! 😅


In the Big Space Fuck, everything’s gone to shit... literally. Excess pollution has transformed the Great Lakes into massive cesspools of garbage and filth that’ve mutated the blood-thirsty lampreys into truly horrendous sizes (some as big as the Big Fuck itself). Also, profanity’s par for the course, so you can say whatever the fuck you want without repercussion. And in case you’re a woman who’s struggling with the extremely difficult decision of keeping your baby or not............ Just know that abortions are free AND you get your choice of either a bedroom lamp or a bathroom scale if you do. Incentives!!!

You also have laws in place where young adults aged 21 and older can actively SUE their parents and even have them sent to jail for virtually any negative influence in their lives. Did your mom spank you for drawing on the wallpaper when you were 4? Perfect! You can say that ‘the physical and emotional abuse you suffered from that traumatic event caused you to develop a fear of drawing and art supplies, thus potentially robbing you of a lucrative art career.’ It’s just that simple!

But I’m missing the point of it all. What IS the Big Space Fuck? Simply put, it’s a rocket full of freeze-dried cum.

WAIT, SORRY!!! I misspoke!

Freeze-dried jizzum! That’s what I meant to say. ‘Cum’ just sounds icky and disgusting but ‘jizzum?’ You can practically ‘feel’ the class dripping off of the word. Because if you were to tell the average person that the US was planning on sending a rocket full of cum into the Andromeda Galaxy to find a hospitable planet to live on, they’d look at you with absolute confusion on your face. But tell them the exact same thing but with jizzum, and instead they’ll give you a sombre nod as they too know the importance of finding a better planet to live on instead of the one that we were given that’s perfectly fine if it weren’t for the constant raping and pillaging of resources, excessive pollution and crushing system of debt-slavery that WE AS PEOPLE created!

I’m getting ahead of myself, though. For a story that was written in 1972 set in 1989, it’s actually kind of interesting how eerie things are now compared to what was predicted. Obviously a lot of the stuff in the short story is fictitious, but it’s just enough to slightly suspend your disbelief instead of outright letting it go. Of course there are no 38 foot mutant sewage lampreys that devour people outside of their homes! We already have large radioactive wolves living around Chernobyl and supercharged brain-eating amoeba living in certain bodies of water in North America, so where would we even fit the lampreys?

If you have about 15 minutes to kill (it’s not a long story at all), I recommend looking up Kurt Vonnegut’s Big Space Fuck. It’s definitely not as well known as his other works, but it definitely holds a lot of relevance in this day and age.

*Cue the little 3-note guitar riff from Reading Rainbow.*
<DUN-NUH DAH!!!>


https://sensitiveskinmagazine.com/b.....kurt-vonnegut/

Yay! I’m gonna be old! 30 years to be precise. And considering how 2020’s been, it doesn’t really seem like much of a party year....

BUUUUUT!!!

Things are going to get better, for everyone! They might get a teensy bit worse, but not much! With any luck, we’ll get through this whole pandemic nonsense and come out on the other side of it relatively unscathed. Just gotta stay positive. 😁😁😁

At some point, I’m going to figure out a way to get paid commissions done of Skunky. So far I have the one pic of him from however long ago and a few Amino coin/gift ones from Habbo Hotel, but I gotta actually draw his feetpaws too. It may be a while before I can draw, but I’ll try to do some more pics. So much stuff to do... 😅

Anyways, that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it. Also, more stories. Thanks for reading my ramblings. Have a great day.

I know it’s not an original thought, but I think it bears repeating: 2020 friggin’ sucked!

It’s a week before my birthday and I’m up helping my dad out with work/renovations. He’s a great guy, but he’s got a lot of his own problems he’s dealing with (which are also my problems because we live together) and lately he’s been putting off doing a certain task. We both procrastinate, I do it too. But it gets to the point where ENTIRE DAYS get lost because nothing gets done. Well, next to nothing. I’m still running around doing dishes, making food, cleaning up, doing constant menial tasks, etc... all for someone who ends up criticizing or complaining about how I did something/didn’t do something/did the wrong thing/not doing it how he wants it done. Something as tiny and insignificant as walking to meet him at the produce aisle at Safeway somehow means ‘I did it wrong...’ And yet he denies that he constantly second-guesses everything I do. The moment I do the same to him, he gets incredibly insulted and defensive, even if it’s something completely justified, like if he plugs up our barely-functioning toilet and DOESN’T do anything about the plug! Or if he leaves the front door wide open while the AC’s going and doesn’t think twice, but immediately jumps at your throat because the tiny bathroom window on the opposite end of the house was open a crack... 😐

Maybe that’s why I feel like I’m going crazy, why I keep second-guessing my own thoughts and actions when I clearly shouldn’t. My dad’s got a constant fear of what people think of him, to the point where his paranoia somehow extends into my life when he asked my cousin behind my back whether or not our mutual friends that me and him hang out with are actually my friends...... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Here’s an idea... how about you worry about YOUR OWN SHIT instead of ASSUMING things that aren’t true? How about instead of making me worry about basic shit that literally doesn’t require a second thought, or criticizing me over the tiniest things, how about you try getting your own life in order for a change?

If you honestly think I’m LYING TO YOU when I tell you about the 7th Game in a Playoff series and you think it’s the 6th game because “I heard them say Game 6 on TV, but I think they might’ve made a mistake,” (aka LITERALLY REFUTING YOUR OWN POINT!!!!!!) and then checking not just the local news sports segment about it, but FUCKING SPORTSCENTRE as if the LOCAL NEWS IS LYING TOO, then CLEARLY YOU’VE GOT FUCKING TRUST ISSUES YOU NEED TO WORK ON!!!!!

Holy crap, I just wanted to be able to write and draw and post stuff on here, but every day it’s “Okay, we’re doing the room! We’re taking care of the room. Put down your phone and let’s do this!”, then 3-4 joints later we’re watching frigging reruns of Seinfeld and crap for 4 hours, then he wants me to make lunch, then after linch it’s a fucking 3 hour nap, now the sun’s down, the day’s wasted, I haven’t drawn or wrote anything yet again, but somehow it’s my fault we did nothing.

I wanted to be able to figure out a way to get a Paypal or something similar set up without having to worry about my info getting compromised. I really wanted to commission some work from people and maybe write some stories for them. All it feels like I’ve done is nothing, and apparently I can’t even do that right.... 😞

What am I even doing?

I need to get some new shoes to wear. But sadly, it’s not because of how smelly or worn they are. My longest worn ones are my work ones; they have the strongest stench, but I work in painting/construction, so my shoes are also covered in flecks of paint and drywall dust... not a very healthy thing to be breathing in, trust me. You’d be sneezing out white paint for days. 😕

Anyhow, like a complete dingus I haven’t been paying attention to the shoes I’ve gotten recently and my last two pairs have been lousy for producing quality funk. Things like micro airholes, ‘anti-odour’ insoles that I didn’t see were on the tag until AFTER I bought the damn things, stuff like that... 😒

So, if anybody has or ever had a pair of extremely pungent shoes, please let me know which brand it was because I need a good, smelly pair. I’m trying to get back to trying to make my feet reek on purpose again, so I have to try and find something that works. I’m looking for a shoe that has/is:

• Little to no breathability, as airtight as possible
• A decent amount of cushioning for comfort/sweat absorption
• ‘All-purpose,’ as in a shoe I can wear every day when I’m not working construction
• Capable of getting really smelly after a few days, ESPECIALLY while I’m in my skunk socks.

If you know of any shoes that have these qualities, or have had experiences involving your shoes clearing out a room, feel free to share here. Hopefully I’ll find some that’ll knock your socks off. 😉

This MUST be watched before they delete it from Youtube. This video will probably be gone in a week or so because they already got rid of it on Netflix. And it’s his new NETFLIX SPECIAL!!!

Coarse language and extremely dark subject matter. Be warned.

Disjointed thoughts with no real purpose. Sadly, I can’t write stories where I am right now because the laptop’s shared and used for work stuff, so foot fetish stories would probably be the last thing I’d want showing up in saved documents. 😅

So for now, here’s whatever this is.
————————————

First and foremost, I probably could be writing stories in my journal. I could, and maybe I should... but I also wanna use journals to discuss my current mood and other useless crap. I’ve been putting off rewriting my stories for too long, though...

STILL can’t believe all my shit is gone from Amino! I had a bunch of stories written that I sadly didn’t back up to another site because, well... I didn’t think to. It never crossed my mind that something could happen to my Amino account and I would lose all of my messages, and stories, and RPs... Damnit, I lost SO many RPs! 😖😫😩

Ironically, I’m more pissed that I lost the Borderlands RP that I was sort of DMing than my feet RPs. It’s nice to not only be tied down to a single idea/aspect of your personality and just be able to say “You know what? Maybe today I DON’T wanna get my toes sucked. Maybe I wanna try figuring out the mystery of what exactly Pokerus actually is!” So you make a Pokemon Private Investigator persona whose dedicated to solving all of the bizarre mysteries of the Pokemon world, certain crimes or cold cases involving Pokemon and their Trainers, toss in a few rumours and myths to investigate and you have a fairly interesting concept, I’d say.

Then, get messaged by someone RPing as a Sylveon wanting to RP. Casually mention that you’re doing a non-fetish RP and he won’t mind. Casually mention that you’re investigating rumours into a possible new Eeveelution and “OH HELL NO!!! FUCK THIS!!! How dare you insinuate that there could be UNDISCOVERED POKEMON?!? You lying sack of shit! Admit that your fictional premise is a fictional premise or I will be so mad at you! 😠😠😠”

I can see why some people don’t like RPing... some knobs just ruin it for them.

I’m glad I’m in Canada. All this rioting, corona, general civil unrest, distrust, hatred... Not that Canada doesn’t have some of it. Hell, the police FINALLY did something about the tent city in Oppenheimer Park. Almost 3 years of having a lawless, pseudo-black market/gang hideout. Over 12,000 guns were seized in more than 60 tents in the city park. Almost 20 tons of various illicit substances. Multiple arrests. If it wasn’t for the birus, maybe they’d be able to start Little League baseball again.

Still, all that pales in comparison to what’s happening now. It was going to happen sooner or later. Everyone’s tired about how they’re being treated in this country. Reminds me of the movie Network.

It’s about a popular news broadcaster who gets fed up with the lies he’s forced to tell on air, about how messed up the world is getting and all that. So he announces to the world the day before his last broadcast that he will shoot himself in the head at the conclusion...

In a Rational World: Folks would be concerned for his safety! This is clearly a mentally-disturbed individual crying out for help and we can’t let him do this! Take him off the air immediately!

In Network: Huh.... let’s see where this goes.

EVERYBODY tunes in that night. Biggest ratings event of the year! Millions are made and the executives realize that they have something here. And the best part is, the newscaster DIDN’T kill himself! Because now they WON’T let him! He’s gotta keep the wackiness going. He basically gets free reign to say/do what he wants, only now he starts talking anti-establishment stuff. Oooo, suddenly it’s a problem again... maybe he SHOULD ‘kill himself...’

It’s a very messed-up movie that serves as a cautionary tale for right now. It’s from the 70’s too. It also was the movie that coined the phrase: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

Some would argue that it was ahead of its time, but I think it came out at the right time. Just like Brave New World.

N-not the artist :bravenewworld: , the sci-fi book by Aldous Huxley. Although I wonder if bravenewworld has read Brave New World... Shit, that was a Sonic comic too, actually. After the death of Dr. Julian Ivo Kintobor... So, if he was reading Huxley’s book during the cleanup of Robotropolis...

Then :bravenewworld: would be reading Brave New World in a Brave, New World!!! 😂😂😂

................ i thought it was funny....😔😔😔

Did You Know?: There are eight different smells associated with Skunky’s foot scent? And his feet never consistently smell the same, either. One day, they could be a very sour mix of vinegar and stale cornchips, the next day they may reek of fermented garlic, or an entire spoiled cheese platter. Depending on how bad they are, he may have multiple showers in a single day, although his feet can start to stink again in as little as 5 minutes.

He’s a Funky-Footed Skunk: visually he looks like a cross between a hooded and a striped skunk. A rare genetic mutation contributes to his excessively smelly paws, although he actively rewears the same socks or skips shower days when he has the urge to raise a stink (as skunks are sometime prone to doing). If you catch him on a particularly stinky day, it’s wise to savour your last remaining breaths of fresh air before you succumb to the harsh fumes.

Speaking of the fumes, they pierce through his shoes. Like, constantly! Even if he’s just showered, threw on clean socks and a brand new pair of shoes, it would take about 2-3 hours for the smell to make itself noticeable. A good way to judge just how bad Skunky’s feet are that day is to sniff the lingering fumes wafting from his shoes. Of course, sometimes it’s so strong that even that little sample is too noxious to endure... In which case, you’ll be forced to keep huffing in order to build up your strength for the main course. No passing out early unless he wants you too. 😚

He also loves smelling feet just as much as others smelling his, and depending on the other person’s preference, he’s able to play the role of ‘unwilling sniffer’ very convincingly. However, he’s not a fan of overtly-humiliating domination (slapping/physical violence, excessive verbal abuse, attempting to introduce a fetish scenario he’s not comfortable with, etc...) and tends to be more on the ‘gentler’ side when it comes to dominating. Instead of an intimidating and commanding presence, Skunky relies on his natural Essence to sway people towards him. It’s not uncommon for him to wake up from a nap on a park bench to find someone nuzzling his shoes.

I’ll do a full-on bio of Skunky at some point, but there’s most of the feet facts. His paws also have an extremely delectable taste to them. It seems that the more potent the fumes, the more savoury the soles taste. No one knows why this is.

I really wanna do an audio ‘skit’ for here. The fact you can easily post music/sound bytes is really cool, and I think it’d be a great way to help me get sone stupid ideas out of my head. 😂🤣😅

Already got an idea too. It involves the Sheriff from Mr. Pickles stopping and pulling over Whitey from Eight Crazy Nights just before he gets into Old Town. I can do both voices annoyingly well, so if you ever wanted to hear whatever that hot garbage would sound like, STAY TUNED!!!

I’m paranoid about getting a Paypal account for 3 reasons...

The first reason is Jeff Bezos! Which to the average person sounds really really stupid, but hear me out: Jeff Bezos was one of the creators of PayPal, until he gave control to the other creator. But not before taking a sizeable chunk of moolah with him because ‘CEO bonus BS crap free money stolen from company,’ and still have a sizeable amount of stock. Cue the first time PayPal got hacked and more than $15 million was stolen from people’s accounts/credit cards. Interestingly enough, Amazon was just starting up too. But they had a decent amount of starting capital... including a ‘private’ donation of more than 13 million dollars....... 🤔🤔🤔

The second issue is that I’ve got horrible luck with stuff like that. I already know my information is floating around somewhere (PSN hack, Lifelabs hack, hotmail hack, CRA hack, Facebook account randomly hacked by some dumb bitch I’ve never before met in my life, but had all of my shit deleted, INCLUDING PICS OF FAMILY MEMBERS THAT’RE NO LONGER AROUND!!!), and I’ve had instances of random shit attempting to be charged to a non-existent credit card associated with a new phone I got. Last thing I’d want is for my ACTUAL card to get targeted.

Third reason is that I’m just paranoid in general. The amount of seemingly unmitigated BS in my life is just astounding sometimes! I end up second-guessing my own thoughts and actions just because the people in my immediate life are constantly doing the same to me. I can’t count the number of times I’m at work about to start something when my dad comes in, rips the paint roller out of my hands and starts showing me the ‘proper’ way to roll... because I guess I somehow fucked up despite not even TOUCHING THE WALL YET! Or he’ll come in to ‘correct’ what I’m doing, only to realize that I had it right the first time, and he just ended up making more work for me. Or the times he just tells me I’m doing something wrong, but doesn’t bother to explain how or why it’s wrong, or even offer constructive criticism about the job I do. It’s just “Nope! Wrong! You’re doing it wrong! You don’t know what you’re doing!”

Meanwhile, whenever he makes a mistake and I point it out to him, he’s convinced I’m just trying to ‘get back at him’ from before. Except I point out a possible mistake he made in a polite way instead of verbally chastising him and everything he does, but... you know... I’m just getting back at him because I’m petty... 😕

So what does that nonsense have to do with getting a Paypal so I can start commissioning art? Well, to make a long story short... I’m just afraid I’m gonna fuck something up...😓

Like, I’ll get everything set up and running just fine, but then suddenly it gets hacked and my credit card’s at risk. I’m worried that at some point, my FurAffinity account is suddenly going to get permabanned with little-to-no prior warning and me losing all my stuff, just like what happened on Amino. Because everyone on here is a professional artist, I’m scared that I’m gonna misread some tiny little detail in someone's commission post when I put my name in and somehow fuck up the whole process and get blacklisted. I’m concerned that my bank account might also get targeted along with my credit card.

To the average person, this is irrational bullshit that honestly shouldn’t merit a second thought... But because I keep second-guessing everything I do, it makes what should be a simple decision into an excruciating one. I know nobody does commissions for stories/gift cards anymore, but that’s honestly the best I can do right now until I stop being such a fucking coward about this...

What was the point of all this, anyways? No one really cares about the day-to-day lives of their fellow humans, outside of immediate family and friends of course. But maybe that’s the point? We’re all here on this spinning rock whether we want to or not. For all intents and purposes this is our only home, but we’re not doing a very good job taking care of it. Right now, society’s at a massive breaking point.

Everyone knows about the riots over the death of George Floyd, but how many Americans were aware of the labour-based riots and protests happening in France and Germany for months? China’s treatment of Hong Kong is atrocious, but it’s nothing compared to the continued efforts to ‘ethnically cleanse’ the Xinjiang province of the peaceful Chinese Uyghur Muslim population. And they’ve been trying to do that for almost 200 YEARS! And despite Corona-chan running amok still, the West Bank and Gaza Strip are still as bloody as ever.

It’s hard to discuss these difficult topics, or sympathize with those on the opposite ends of the spectrum. A war orphan from Syria would be furious with an American orphan who lost his parents in an accident if ever the two were to meet. The American orphan’s sad that his parents died in a horrific accident. The Syrian orphan’s sad that his whole family was wiped out in a drone strike from the US military. No matter how much he explains he had nothing to do with it, the Syrian orphan would blame the American orphan until the day he dies.

But the truth of the matter is we’re ALL orphans in this current, broken system. It took Congress FOUR stimulus bills before they finally realized, “Hey... should some of this money go to families struggling during these harsh times?” The moment places began opening up, the cops decided they needed to start killing black people again. Now the police are literally just smashing through people, running them down in cars, doing drive-by macings, throwing women HALF THEIR SIZE onto the ground and stomping them! No wonder people are so pissed off right now.

I’m gonna stop rambling because I already wasted too much of my own time. 😅

It’s scary, the world we live in now, though. How shit’s just getting worse and worse... It’s upsetting to talk about, but it MUST be talked about. As censorship and ‘political-correctness’ grows, the ability to discuss meaningful change becomes harder and harder. You can’t really protest anymore without permits and setting things up with the city beforehand. Technically, the police COULD thrown every single protester in jail regardless of if they were peaceful or not, solely because they didn’t have the proper paperwork...

To quote George Orwell: ”In a time of universal deceit, merely speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
