Fresh Start
Posted 4 years agoI've taken some time away from FA and commissions.
It's been a very hectic 2yrs here with ups and downs and very little contact with friends... If you are one of them, I greatly apologize but know you are still very dear to me!
that'll never change and I will always be around for ya
That being said, I still wont be too active in the community but I would like to take some time to do what I used to really enjoy.
Making characters and stories for them. That's what I have been doing on and off and I hope to occasionally add some new work hereWhere to from here?
Posted 4 years agoI have been apart of the community since 2006.
At least, That's when I first discovered FA.
I remember when and how I found it, as if it had happened only hours ago. Artwork and character design has always been a large part of my life- since before I even knew there were others out there who did it as well or that it had a official name for it all.
When I was first introduced to the world of internet; I was amazed by it. I had a endless need to see more.
When I got my first computer I spent days with no sleep, just surfing through the endless sea of knowledge and artwork! I started to view the world differently and my creativity grew and grew with every new thing in my sight. Of course I was still learning how to use the new form of technology and my way of navigating to what I wanted was FAR more lengthy than it needed to be lol.
Once I discovered googly images that was it. I started by typing in werewolves and clicking on a image and clicking another image that lead me to another, and another and so on, until... I clicked a image that opened up a website. Furaffinity
I can't quite describe the feeling. It was as if I was seeing colors for the first time.
There was a name for what I was trying to draw. What I WAS drawing, there was a name for people who enjoyed that specific art style and people had made their own characters and their own worlds on this website for them. It took a hold of me and that was it! Everything changed for me that day. For better or for worse? I'm not sure of that anymore haha
I made numerous friends over the years because of it. I didn't know how to make actual account until I met my (now husband) boyfriend back in High School. By some amazing fluke! He was also apart of the community and enjoyed the artwork from it. In 2013 I got a message from him saying he had made an account and that I should as well... With his push, I finally did. Which of course opened up to a whole other side of the community for me since I now had a account that allowed me to view... MORE lol.
It wasn't long after that; that I decided that as fun as it was seeing others artwork and chars that I wanted to do it myself. I wanted to design something that would be ME... FOR ME.
It took maybe a week? taking bits of myself at that time, chars that I had fallen in love with in the community, bits of my family and interests until I finally came with Tempesta.
My Fursona.
I remember my first commission. I remember the feeling I felt when I got a compliment on her! I LOVED the attention SHE got. It forced me out of my shell, with all the comments I got on her and all the people who also began to love her as much as I did. Both good and bad! As it made me who I am today in my ability to communicate and type. It also made me no longer care about the real world though. I started aggressively spending money left and right on everything I could get a bid on... even if it wasn't MY money. I caused years of hardship on my partner and I and caused a lot of financial damage cause of it. I felt like I NEEDED the comments from others to go about my day. I would waste my life away; spending days just clicking the refresh button every few seconds until I saw a new comment or a new YCH. All I was doing was wanting to be known by everyone and to watch my pageviews go up and I would become hostile and jealous and even competitive towards new people who would climb in numbers higher than I was.
When I finally managed to slow my spending and get our life back together is when I noticed who were my real friends. I also found that it didn't matter who knew me or not.
I got some amazing artwork and met some amazing people though, BECAUSE of Tempesta and FA.
So much has happened since that time.
I'm married to that same boy from school who endured the long haul with me, we have a home, we have been through so much together and to get us to where we are now. We are now parents! Something neither of us thought would happen.
A soon to be family of 5.
Life is finally starting to slow down a little bit for us and we are able to enjoy things more. With that though comes a end to somethings.
one of which was my Fursona.
Do I no longer enjoy the artwork from this community? Not at all! Am I leaving? probably. Some day... I don't know when that will happen but I'm definitely not as active as I once was (go figure)
I cherish other things in life now and my goals are very different is all. I still enjoy getting artwork and making up characters. I don't think that will ever change for me but I really cant go to how things once were and I also just don't care for things to be that way.
This account will remain open for the time being until I decide to come back or finally leave it all behind me.
Thank you for those who have stuck around from the beginning. TEMPESTA (SOLD)

Guardian Home ContractDescription:
Named:
DOB:
Microchip ID:
Vaccinations Due:
Contract Details and Agreement
Being a guardian home for one of our breeding dogs is an excellent way to have a fun, loving dog/puppy as your family pet.
We do not believe in kenneling our dogs long term.
Dogs raised and kept in kennels often do not get the proper socialization and stimulation that is needed for them to become well behaved, happy animals. Therefore, we like to place our breeding dogs in their new forever homes with suitable families, while we retain legal ownership and breeding rights of that dog for a specified amount of time.
What this means is that the dog lives with you as your family pet, free of charge.
You in turn, pay for all of the dog's regular health maintenance (puppy- 2nd and 3rd shots, rabies, annual exams and vaccinations), food, grooming, training and other expenses. We pay for any additional breeding expenses.
Once the dog has become sexually mature he or she comes back to us, as needed, for relatively short periods of time for breeding and/or whelping. When the dog completes his or her breeding obligations, you are given permission to spay/neuter the dog, (We will cover the cost) and the dog comes home to enjoy the wonderful life you have provided for them, legal ownership being transferred to you.
Males are typically retained as sires for a longer period of time (approx. 6 years) than breeding females, they do not need to leave their families for extended periods of time.
Females in guardian homes will have four-five litters prior to being spayed (retired), so although their breeding career is shorter than that of males, they have to leave their family for longer periods of time for each cycle and litter.
There are many things that a Guardianship home needs to consider besides the occasional separation from their pet.
Guardians of Females sometimes have to deal with several heat cycles (typically twice yearly) and there is some bleeding that goes on during that time. Keeping their girl protected from males when she is in season is a must. The guardian will need to learn the signs of a heat cycle starting and be able to communicate, cooperate and coordinate with us to ensure a successful breeding.
Guardians of Males will need to be comfortable with some "macho" behavior in their un-neutered boy.
If we decide for any reason not to use the dog as breeder, the dog will be spayed/neutered, at our expense, and you would retain ownership under a pet contract.
Guardian Programs provide benefits for the Guardian Family:
-The Guardian program allows families to have the opportunity to own one of our dogs for little, to no expense up front-Guardian families receive ongoing support directly from the breeder-Guardian families can schedule trips during breeding/whelping without worry or cost of kenneling their pet
Guardian Programs provide benefits for the Dog:
-The dog doesn't need to be re-homed after retiring from breeding
-The dog(s) are well socialized and in a stable home environment
-The dog(s) receive more attention and one on one time
-The dogs(s) receives regular exercise and entertainment
-The dog(s) get to be part of his/her own family for life
All of this is more limited when in the full time care of the breeder as our schedule is busy and can be stressful on a dog when there are too many other dogs around them constantly.
Requirements for providing a Guardian Home for one of our Dogs:
-Guardians must leave the dog intact (NO spay or neuter)
-Guardians MUST crate/kennel train their dog (I cannot stress this enough!)
-Guardians must keep the dog on a leash when outside, unless the dog is in a fenced area(fully fenced OFF leash facilities are okay, when not in season) and must always wear a collar with name and phone number
-Guardians must live in a house with a fully fenced yard that is secure, and must agree to exercise the dog daily (Some locations can be permitted outside of this if discussed, and approved)
-Guardians must ensure the puppy is socialized to adults, children and other dogs (VERY IMPORTANT)
-Guardians must provide appropriate veterinary or emergency care when needed, including vaccinations, deworming, etc. All Veterinary care is to be discussed with and approved by the breeder, prior to any treatment taking place
-Guardians Must have their dog groomed every 3-4 MONTHS at minimum starting at 4 months of age
-Guardians must notify breeders immediately when a female begins her heat cycle
-Guardians Must NOT allow a female around ANY intact males during her cycle, nor have any intact males in the home. Vet record proof, if other dogs of opposite gender in home that are neutered
-Guardians must not allow a male to breed ANY females other than those chosen by the breeder at a time determined by the breeder
-Guardians MUST live within reasonable driving distance (30 MIN) or MEET at a designated location (130th PETSMART, IKEA, CROSS IRON MILLS)
-Guardians must plan on living in the area for 5 years minimum from the signing of the contract
-Guardians must inform the breed immediately of any address changes
-Guardians must sign a legal agreement to become a Guardian (ID must be provided)
-Guardians must be a minimum of 20 years old
-Guardians must communicate in a timely manner, cooperate and coordinate with the breeder regarding, mating's, whelping's, and other breeding related activities
-Guardians need to be fully onboard with the breeding dog lifestyle for the years that the contract is in effect, and must realize that if they break the contract they may have the dog removed from their care
-Guardians MUST be committed to the dog for life
-Guardians MUST return the dog to the breeder if not able to keep the dog for any reason or are moving out of the area
-It is agreed that if this contract is reneged on by the Guardian in any way the Owner (Breeder) has the legal right to confiscate the dog from the Guardian
This Contract is Legal and Binding and by Signing I acknowledge that I fully understand and I agree to enter into this contract and follow all that is outlined in its entirety

My Apology (Transgender, Slurs)
Posted 7 years agoIt seems at some point everyone 'fucks up' on FA-
If you are well known or not! It happens to everyone.
It may only effect a small group of friends, one person or many people you have never had ANY contact with.
Which seems to be the case for me... YES I fucked up... A while ago but it's still has its effect.
What I'm referring to is certain slurs that I have used very often in the past... "Shemale"
Now I'm not asking for anyone to forgive me, I'm aware that the damage is done. I will however explain myself on why I used the term so much in the past-
To be honest firstly I did not know for a very long time that Shemale was used as a slur and was not the correct term. I saw it so often here on FA in titles, Refs and Tags along with pornography that I was completely convinced that; that was the correct term! and I liked the way it sounded after a while.
I'm not against Trans people. Very far from it! Growing up I always-ALWAYS wanted to be a boy and I was often asked by my family (once i learned about sex changes) out right and in front of everyone during large family/friend get together that I wanted a penis. The question always threw me off when I was asked this question along with- "So will you date girls or boys?"
At the time I didnt know how to answer either one of those questions and I would get harassed by my family for not being able to tell them. To them if I was really serious about getting a sex change I would be able to answer those questions with no hesitation. So I stopped telling people thats what I wanted and I started forcing myself to (by society standards) look the part of my birth given gender.
When I finally made a FA account, THAT was my freedom.
When I saw the term "Shemale" I thought it made perfect sense to be called that- I am born a female and I want to be a male.
HOLY FUCK WAS I EVER WRONG.
Now I'm still fighting with the need to make everyone around me happy with ME. I'm trying to not let it effect me but I'm strongly effected by hearing that I have angered someone on FA and especially when It's from a artist whom I really want to commission or just watch them, fav their art only to have the pop up say
"YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED"
To this day, seeing that fucking destroys me, especially from the artist that I've never even spoken to!
It's been 1-2yrs now since I used the incorrect terms yet, I'm still finding myself blocked from tons of artists because I at one point used the slurs.
I'm sorry.
truly I am, I'm still trying to figure myself out completely on my own journey through the sex change- Will I actually do it? can I? how far will I go with it?
I just want to say- I'm not against you guys.
The people out there who are Trans and are upset with me, I'm sorry! I've bettered myself but thats not cover up to what I did say.
I deserve the hate. Just know that, I am one of you, I support you, and everyone else.My story...
Posted 11 years agoThis is not a fake story, the events writen in this journal all happened to me.
This journal may be like... ALL over the place just cause my mind wonders off alot cause of my mental issues. However i will try to keep that from happening.
So lightly (well more like months on end) i have been very depressed and having i guess flash backs? or like memories and dreams of the past, present and possible future. Just... for a while now i have realized that wow, my life sucked! and it stills sucks! just from everything that happened i just don't.... know what to do about it anymore. Where did it all go wrong?
Well.... I guess it started some time after i was born, My dad was in the military when he had met my mom. My dad left my mom and me when i was only a few months old, and to this day i still don't know why (she had also got into a car accident while pregnant with me). Not long after he met someone new started dating her and eventually got married. She already had 4 kids of her own but she only took her daughter, the rest of her kids stayed with their dad. It was just me and my mom, she then moved in with her dad (whom she did not like for reasons i don't know) we lived with my grandfather and his new wife for a few years, till i was 3 or so. For some reason we were no longer welcomed there so we had to move again, we ended up moving in with my uncle and his (ex) wife. During the time i lived with my grandfather and uncle my mom was never around... Ever. She went to school during the day and worked in the afternoon, I only ever o to see her briefly when i was eating dinner and then she would tuck me into bed... But that was not always the case. My mom hated living with her brother though, he was an alcoholic and always had loud and aggressive fights with his wife. I remember waking up just about every night to screaming and yelling, cussing and things getting smashed and broken. My mom would then come barging up into our room yelling at my uncle and bringing the argument with her. She always brought me into the arguments, trying to make me choose a side as if my opinion would matter and some how stop the fighting. I would start bawling and curl up into a ball in the nearest corner or object to try and hide, but there was no place to hide... I was always scared. eventually my mom would make me pack my little suitcase up with some clothes and say "Come on Sierra, We're leaving!". We would put our coats on, and take my little suitcase and salamander into the car and we drove away, for hours late at night. My mom would rant to herself and then vent everything onto me, continuously saying "We're moving, we are never going back there ever again! we will buy or rent a little place just for us and you'll even get the master bedroom!". She did this often, just about every week sometimes even more! doing the same thing and saying the same thing, she would always stop at this hotel and say "we're staying here tonight"... we never did, we went into the lobby and came back out only to drive back to my uncles at 2:00-4:00 in the morning. One day she finally did it, she found a cheap little basement suite to rent. It was very small and only had one bedroom, for months i had to sleep in a closet with a little tiny bed inside it. However i was really small myself at the time so it was alright, i don't remember what happened after that but my mom and I moved again... back with my uncle into his new place. We stayed in his basement for a long time, it was okay, still the same old arguments and loud drinking buddies he had over. A little while after that i was able to start kindergarten. What happened to me in kindergarten might have cased one of the biggest and worst things to ever follow me for the rest of my life (so far). Instantly i was outcast by all the kids, picked on and misunderstood (due to mental problems, discovered later on). I was picked on mainly due to the way i walked (On the tip of my toes) I naturally started walking that way and i continued to walk like it till 3 years ago (I'm now 18). I don't remember how it started but over the time the boys in my class all made me go into the (shared) bathroom with them and made me touch their genitals. They liked it and made me do it more frequently, i knew it was wrong but i seemed like they only wanted to be my friends this way and if i did not do it they would get all the boys and even the girls to pick on me and throw stuff at me, trip me, pull my chair from underneath me and 5 times they pushed the book shelf on top of me, eventually the teachers said i was not allowed near it. One day one of the teachers caught me and one of the boys in the washroom, my mom was sent over and i got in shit for it, i told my mom the truth and i thought i would all stop from their... But it never did. At this time i was 5 now, and one night while i was sleeping in my bed in my uncles basement my mom lit a candle in our living room and went up stairs to drink with my uncle and his friends, While she was upstairs no one was their to watch the candle, My uncles cat got down stairs and knocked over the candle. I was fast asleep by this time when my mom smelt the smoke, she went down stairs to check on me when she saw the flames, our entire living room was on fire and it was also right outside my bedroom door, My mom ran into my bedroom picked me up and ran to the backdoor, i woke up just as she had exited out my bed room door, and to this day i remember what i got a glimpse of... Fire everywhere! i could not see the ceiling or the stairs leading up, only the bright light, thunderous noise, screams, and the shadows of people scrambling to put it out. After that i remember sitting outside, eating a cut up apple looking at the 3 fire trucks outside our home, all the neighbours out on the street. My mom was very upset that it happened, and everything else that happened (don't feel like tying the other stuff) she decided that the city is just no place for us, she moved yet again, 6 hours away to a little town.
(So I'm seeing how much I've wrote so far and I'm positive no ones gonna read this, or want to read all of it anyways so from here on I'm just gonna stop going into full detail and just... give you the rest briefly)
My mom and i lived on our own for a long time, one of our family members there touched me sexually, then i made a friend with this boy who later on raped me, this went on for 2-3 years till I tried running from him to tell someone about what had been happening... he then chased me around the yard with an axe till I got into the street, from there he threw rocks and sticks at me all the way home... people stared and watched but no one came to help me. then after a few years i made a new friend who later on pulled my pants off when we were alone so that was that. Made best friends with a few guys (No longer friends... they all abandoned me) Paige, Micheal, Kanyon, Roman. My mom met this jerk, had a kid with him i was then second to everything and was verbally abused for years cause my mom knew she needed this guy to help support her family... so she took it out on me. my uncle and his wife moved up where we were living, i watched the two of them physically beat each other, blood everry were, Yes alcohol was in their systems and this is prob why it happened. My mate has cheated on me 3 times now... 2 times was looking at nude photos of this girl we went to school with (did, we graduated) and then he was texting and hanging out and going to movies with his co-worker... alot more then he did with me, even confessed to her that he liked her... About half a year from the first time he cheated on me we broke up, I went back to slave lake to see my best friend Roman who seemed to make all the bad things go away, I knew he liked me and I liked him, He never did anything bad to me. Till we started dating for a few days (Least what I thought) we had sex, cause this in all honesty is the only real thing I know how to do to make a relationship cause of what I've grown up with... The whole time he kept talking about his Ex, Forced sex on me a few times, and... Left me as soon as his Ex told him to. I'm back with my first mate but... With no friends left to go to, no family... Nothing.
So much keeps happening and I often wonder if it will ever stop? Or if I'm just meant to continue these terrible experiences. At the same time though I'm glad... I'm glad I experienced them cause now I will be able to help any others who happen to go through the same or similar situations. That; gives me some purpose and reason to wake up and continue living.
Some thing's I left out during my time of making this at the time. My father keeps trying to contact me and pretends to have some interest in my life despite the incident that had him leave a deep scar above my hairline on my head... It has faded a lot but still hurts to touch, something else about it is ever since that day there is a large line (or crack) in my skull going down toward my nose. Rubbing your finger back and forth across my head and down you will be able to feel it.
I can't bear with myself much when I bother to type my experiences... But if it helps anyone in finding some comfort then I will continue.
The thing that hurts the most was loosing my first child. Un-born and not even fully developed but still, I as a mother already had a strong attachment to it. I wish they were here with me right now...
