Hey everyone
 martythemarten is looking for sonas big and small to use as background actors in a comic he'll be working on. Why don't you enter the character pool for him to choose from HERE ?

Since the idea we have requires a third character we're looking for a co-star. If you would like to get a pic with us and you fulfill all of the criteria below, leave a message

We're looking for a fur that is willing to split the commission cost with us. Whose character manly guy (sorry no females nor twinks allowed) that likes bondage scenarios (either top or bottom) and is (preferably) NOT a bear.

I would also appreciate if you guys could link an artist that's reasonably priced, doesn't mind bondage pics and is (hopefully) open for commissions.

Distract me from the RL issues with your questions

two friends of mine gave me a nudge to do this, so here goes:

1. Tell you what animal/creature you remind me of.
2. Tell you what color I think fits you.
3. Tell you how I feel about you.
4. Insult you.
5. Tell you my favorite OC of yours. (If you have one...)
6. Tell you what season you remind me of.
7. Tell you what food you smell like in my head.
8. Think of a random nickname for you.
9. Tell you what element you remind me of.
10. Ask you to put this in your journal without using the words 'tag' or 'dare'.

I think everyone knows what it is so leave your questions for the bear after the beep

Hey guys, can anyone recommend an artist that fulfills all of criteria below?

1) Knows how to draw bulky males (from total beefcake to muscle-gut)

2) will draw yiff (the pic in mind won't be far from vanilla)

3) doesn't charge insane amount of cash (I don't expect a threesome with background and full shading to cost 20$, but I won't pay few hundreds for it )

4) is reliable (doesn't take 6 months to finish a piece, offers WIPs etc.)

5) are preferably open at this time

Thanks for pointing me to artists (especially ones I haven't seen before)

If you have other (perhaps better?) tutorials you might want to let him know so he can add it to the list. Others might find them helpful so do share :)

Hey everyone, after the events of last week I decided to put this info 'out there'. From what I've seen it's not something everyone knows, but it might save your friend, family member or (like in my case) a coworker.

Last Wednesday I arrived at work for another night-shift and noticed two out of the symptoms, I'll list below, in the woman that was on the afternoon shift. Having grandparents that were no stranger to strokes (nine strokes combined that I know of) I immediately recognized the signs and called the ambulance. Turns out I was right on the mark and the only reason she isn't paralyzed (or even dead) is the fact she got to the hospital so fast.

Here's a list (not a comprehensible one by any standards) of the most common symptoms of a stroke:

- slurred speech test for it is pretty simple: ask the person to say something and listen

- partial one side facial paralysis easiest to spot in a drooping corner of the mouth: ask the person for a big 'mugshot smile'

- partial limb paralysis can be as subtle as weakness of one hand and/or arm or they can go completely limp; ask the person to stretch his/her arms at a 90degree angle if they can't lift and keep their arms on the same level (or one arm rapidly drops down) you know their brain is loosing control over the body

- loss of the ability to write (agraphia) give them pen and paper and ask them to write a word. People with strokes will sometimes just scribble something

- loss of the ablity to read words will seem completely foreign or they'll claim the letters are in the wrong order

- loss of the ability to speak quite obvious how to notice this one

- inability to remember basic info (current date, name, address etc.)


Not every person with a stroke will exhibit all of the above (depends which parts of the brain are affected) but first three are most common. If you suspect your friend, parent, coworker or even a passerby on the street might be having a stroke make them stop working, preferably lie down and CALL THE AMBULANCE as soon as possible. The sooner they get to the hospital the better chances of avoiding permanent damage.
