Charlie Kirk
Posted a month ago"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket." Lyndon B. Johnson
I start with that quote because that's what Charlie Kirk was doing. Only he didn't limit himself to race. He did it with gender, religion, and education too.
Charlie Kirk's entire career, and now his entire life, was spent pandering to the absolute worst kind of men: the "involuntarily celibate" -- the people who, after spending decades being too repulsive to ever get girlfriends and too stupid to even know how to masturbate, wanted to believe with every fiber of their being that women were inferior and were oppressing them every time they refused to fuck one of them.
And Charlie Kirk saw these worthless lumps of filth crying to each other on social media that they were being oppressed by women refusing to screw them, swooped in and said "Hey, yes, you're absolutely right! Come listen to me tell you all about how even Taylor Swift is inferior to you and also I've got some overpriced shit to sell you!"
Yeah, I know his body is not even cold as I'm writing this, but this is me treating Charlie Kirk the way he treated everyone else. Charlie Kirk had only two modes: Hating people, and pointing and laughing at people who were dying. He saw the way people were shitting on Hulk Hogan even in death, and instead of deciding to live his life in a way that people would NOT point and laugh at his demise, he doubled down and spent the last days of his life screaming his lungs out at Taylor Swift for the unpardonable sin of having a vagina without a dick inside it.
So yes, fuck Charlie Kirk. After all the graves he danced on, he's finally on the other end of the dirt.
As of my writing this, they still haven't found his killer. But mark my words, when they do, millions of copies of his portrait will go up side by side with Luigi Mangione's.
And mark my words on this as well: MAGA will stop giving a shit about Charlie Kirk before Halloween. Kirk built his media empire by pandering exclusively to the most hateful people with the shortest attention spans, and some other wretched grifter will be yammering about how Taylor Swift is of no value unless she's pregnant and have every single one of them unwrapped from Kirk's cold dead finger and wrapped around his before they've even decided where Kirk will make his greatest contribution to the world by decomposing into mulch.
Somewhere in Hell, Theo Epstein just pointed at the line in front of the gate and said "Hey, I know that guy!"
Oh, and just one more final reminder: Charlie Kirk once said this:
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new are term, and it does a lot of damage."
Charlie Kirk literally hated empathy so much that he tried to deny that it existed. And now his followers are demanding it at the top of their lungs.
Fuck that.

Back online
Posted 2 months agoJust hooked it up at the new place after twenty-six long agonizing hours of corporate dumbassery.
Also wound up finally getting a modern phone because this was the fourth time in only a week somebody said "Download the app" as if it was just a given that I had a phone that could do that.
I've resisted screen culture for a long time, but this made me feel less like standing defiant against Vox and the Vees and more like I was a Palestinian throwing rocks at the Israeli tank.
But if you can read this journal, it means it worked out as intended and I have internet at my new place. So now I just need to clean out what's left in the old apartment and turn in the keys to it, then I can finally get around to brainstorming ideas for all the commissions I'd put on hold.

Hulk Hogan died.
Posted 2 months agoNo, I don't care either. Here's more well wishes for Ozzy.
Might be going silent soon.
Posted 3 months agoThe good news is that I'm moving. Into an apartment that is twice the size of the one in which I am now.
The bad news is that my current internet provider does not cover my future residency. So instead of transferring it, I have to cancel it, sign with another company (which I've already done) and wait for their hardware to get delivered and set it up before I can get on the internet again.
So if I'm not responding to PMs, etc., don't take it personally; it just means I'm in the transition phase.

Check your tags
Posted 4 months agoI made some more detailed updates on what happened on my Bluesky and DeviantArt accounts, but for anyone who doesn't want to go to those sites, to make a long story short, on 6-17-2025, I went to FurAffinity and was taken to a page alerting me that I had been given a week-long suspension.
Some of you might recall, in 2023, when the F.A. staff just decided, without warning, that underage characters appearing in "fetishizing" artwork (even if otherwise Rated G) were not allowed, which many of us first found out about when they handed down suspensions to
Charem,
Strega, and many other prominent users over content in their galleries predating the rule change, including submissions that had been in their galleries for so long that the account holders didn't even remember them.
Basically, this was an echo of that: The notice claimed I had committed repeated violations of CoC Section 1.1: "Do not encourage or engage in illegal activity" and listed ten reposts going all the way back to 2018.
I also panicked a bit because all of these were reposts and I worried the artists from which they were received may been targeted too. But when I logged out so I could view mine and their accounts, none of them had the markings identifying them as suspended accounts. I also checked the account of a semi-notorious shitposter that I knew for a fact was suspended indefinitely (the one I referenced in my journal about reasons you may have been blocked where I put all of his watchers on my block list too he was that effing horrible) and he didn't have it either, which made me think F.A. had deleted that feature, similar to how, the last time F.A. decided it was going to change the rules and suspend a ton of users, it was right after they deleted the message boards.
I began to think they were once again going to go on a suspending spree and had once again preemptively made changes to keep the rest of F.A. from finding out, and calling them out. Hence why I didn't deal with this quietly.
Also, of the ten submission they listed as "encouraging" zoophilia, eight were humans and Pokemon, one was a human and Toothless from HTTYD, and one featured two non-humans. Which was one of a multitude of things I mentioned in my appeals email, but it's the one that's most relevant because the justification I got back was this:
(paraphrased) "No, no, it's not because of the content of the artwork. Feral-on-human stuff is fine. It's because you had 'zoophilia' as one of the tags."
Long story short: I called bullshit until they de-suspended my account, restored the deleted submissions, blamed everything on one single moderator, and promised to have a meeting and better clarify the rules going forward.
So I think it's over. But just in case, I want to give this warning: Check how you're tagging your artwork. While it's apparently still okay to depict crimes being committed, there is at least one moderator who was eager to interpret mentioning said crimes in the tags as "encouraging or engaging in" said crimes. So if you have any submissions tagged with zoophilia, bestiality, or anything else that would land you in hot water if you tried to do them I.R.L., I recommend deleting or changing them and not using them in the future just to spare yourself the possibility that you may have to do what I just had to.

They backpedaled
Posted 4 months agoJust as I said they would.
"BAN EVERYTHING FROM F.A. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME HORNY!!!"
Posted 5 months agoOh no, furry is "going mainstream"? Or at least is no longer assumed to be nothing but people in animal costumes having an orgy so every single muggle on the planet doesn't recoil in disgust and/or horror at the mere mention of the furry fandom anymore?
Oh no. Whatever shall we do.
[/sarcasm]
For the record, I don't think furry is going mainstream. Nor do I think there is any chance of it genuinely going mainstream.
What's really happened, I believe, is that mainstream has become desensitized to furry. Mainstream media doesn't see furry as an exploitable market, but they don't see us as deviant freaks who must be avoided either.
DreamWorks and Disney both dabbled with movies like Zootopia, Kung-Fu Panda, The Bad Guys, etc., that they knew would appeal to us, and there wasn't any great big anti-furry backlash that caused anyone but the most hyper-anal "Christian" and "alpha male" types to freak out over it, and I'm sure they've figured out by now that those types freak out over everything that isn't for them and them alone anyway.
Furry isn't going mainstream. The mainstream still sees furry as a barely-relevant market at best. They've just figured out that the general public is fine with "furry media" and don't care about us either way.
So please, don't freak out about the fandom "going mainstream" or being "censored" or "watered down" because some of us occasionally take a break from producing material to which one is expected to fap.
The mainstream isn't embracing the fandom. It's just finally acknowledging it for what it is: A bunch of people who are weird, but not that weird, and who, in the grand scheme of things, are mostly harmless.
And yes, one of my more recent journals was all about how Pixar and DreamWorks both had a trailer for an animated movie with a vore gag at the end of it. But honestly, I just see that as an extension of this dynamic. The mainstream knows the furry fandom exists, knows what it's about, knows of some of the "even weirder" subgroups within it, and isn't so repulsed by them that they're unwilling to give the fandom, or any of its sub-fandoms, an occasional nod or prod if they think it'll be funny to do so.
Oh no. Whatever shall we do.

The Bad Guys 2 / Elio
Posted 7 months agoOkay, we should all know about the infamous scene at the end of the first trailer for The Bad Guys 2. The one that had many voraphiles saying "There's no way they didn't know what they were doing with that," and a lot of other voraphiles and non-voraphiles saying "Oh, I very much doubt that."
And before that movie had even released into theaters... We get "Elio."
Once again, the relevant bit is right at the end of the trailer:
Glordon: "Just get in my mouth."
Elio: "Huh. It's, uh... Actually kinda' comfy in here."
Me: "WHY DO YOU TORMENT US SO?!!!!"
Now, to be clear, I STILL do not think there are voraphiles in Hollywood, much less that vore has more than a snowball's chance in Hell of ever going mainstream...
But... (sigh) I don't think this is a coincidence either...
If I had to guess what's happening, or what has already happened, it's that Hollywood at large, after they accepted the furry fandom as at least being relevant -- not necessarily an audience that can make a film profitable all by itself, but one they can cater more towards without losing anyone but the hyper-vocal far-right "this is not for me and me alone, therefore I hate it!" snowflakes that were never going to be on their side anyway, they also started becoming more familiar (whether they wanted to or not) with some of the furry subcategories and fixations.
And vore... If I had to guess, I think that's the fetish that they think is the most hilarious.
Some of you might remember that, when the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 was an ugly secret that the MAGA hate cult was desperately trying to hide, the Heritage Foundation was targeted by a group of furry hacktivists, one of the H.F. heads started screaming at them that he was going to throw them all in jail because of their porn, got very graphic with his descriptions about what would happen to them in prison for a guy who supposedly hates porn, and one of the hacktivists responded to him with "What do you think of vore?"
Which I mention because this resulted in a lot of news programs needing to take a brief break away from their reporting to explain what vore is.
So now that "eww, furries" doesn't sail anymore, I think "vore" is becoming more adopted as the shortened form of the punchline "This guy's into some really weird shit."
And the close cousin of "this guy's into weird shit" is "I swear this was not meant to be kinky!"
So... No, I don't think DreamWorks nor Pixar have actually hired any voraphiles... But I do think somebody wrote at least one of those two scenes and was snickering at the thought of guys like me getting visibly uncomfortable in the theater.

Posted 8 months agoWow, MAGA. You're trying to shame and dehumanize people for being "normal" now?
I already thought, MAGA, that you were all subhuman vermin. Now I know that this assessment of you was far too charitable.

Back to reselling
Posted 8 months agoStill haven't found stable employment since escaping Las Vegas, so I'm back to selling my thrift store finds on ebay.
No plush toys yet. I'm focusing on my T-shirts first since they're easier to package and ship. But I'll get around to them eventually.
Took less than twelve hours after my first listing for somebody to try to low ball me with a counter-offer. So as long as that's going to happen no matter what, it might as well be from a fellow fur.
https://www.ebay.com/usr/terastas
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not desperate for money -- I've still got enough in the bank to last me a while. "Treasure hunting" at thrift stores and yard sales has long been a hobby of mine, and I only stopped putting stuff on ebay because I was getting so much overtime at my last job that I didn't want to even think about using any of what little free time I had left on my side hustle.
So please, don't buy anything off my ebay unless it's something you want. And if you do buy something, don't dox yourself by letting me know it was you.

Attention all MAGA bitches!
Posted 8 months agoYou are all now women!
So executive ordered by the God-Queen, Donald J. Trump!
You are all forbidden from ever using the phrases "masculine," "masculinity," or "alpha male" ever again, so ordered by the God-Queen!

Seriously, how much more evidence do you need that this festering lump of filth A) doesn't give a shit about anything but herself, and B) is dumber than a rubber dick with a wig on it?
She didn't just fuck up the science. She fucked up science that anyone who has ever watched Jurassic Park would know she fucked up.

A.I. art...
Posted 9 months agoIt's on my DeviantArt.
https://www.deviantart.com/terastas
I was originally going to just let it be my secret shame that I've been dabbling with A.I. generators, but I ended up using it to generate some stuff of my other OCs, which at least a few people have expressed an interest in seeing, so I'm fessing up on behalf of those two or three people.
And before anyone gets pissy at me, let me be clear that A.I. WILL NEVER REPLACE ARTISTS. When I first heard about the concept of A.I. art, I was excited because I thought the intention was for it to be used by artists. IE: Make the trades more accessible and more affordable so that more people can go into the arts and be able to produce more art. And certainly not that it would be championed by these tech. bro dumbasses with wet dreams of replacing the artists completely because they never had a creative thought in their lives and despise everyone who has.
And now that I've got experience working with A.I. directly, I can tell you straight: Artificial intelligence can actually be really stupid.
After an entire month's worth of attempts, for example, no A.I. program has ever once demonstrated to me that it knows what the phrase "head first" means, so if you're a vore artist, you're safe.
A.I. has also repeatedly demonstrated to me that it can't fucking count. If you write in the prompt that there are "two" whatevers in the intended image, there is an at least 50/50 chance it'll generate an image with three or one. I'm convinced this is why so many programs have been set up to produce three or four at a time -- because even the people who are championing A.I. know that it can be really stupid like that.
A.I. can only recognize some franchises. One of the first things I learned when dabbling is that there is no A.I. that knows what a pelipper is. If you include more than one character, odds are they will clip through each other. I had to do some real linguistic gymnastics to inform it that a "Tasmanian devil" does not mean a red humanoid with horns. Etc., etc., etc. -- bottom line is that, while I was impressed by some of the things I could do with it, it was also pathetic some of the things it could not. So if you're an artist and you do anything other than commercials and product placements, your career is safe.
Going forward, what I'll probably end up doing is keeping F.A. and D.A. exclusive, IE: FurAffinity will be the only place I repost commissions while D.A. will be where I exclusively share the results of my A.I. dabbling.
So, again, no disrespect to artists -- I will absolutely continue to get commissions when I can. I'm only sharing it at all because I know some people expressed interest in some of the things I ultimately ended up doing with it (my DnD guild, for example). So if that interests and does not offend you, the link is above.

Resolutions
Posted 9 months ago2024:
Get out of Las Vegas: Check.
Get a State ID and license plates after leaving Las Vegas: Check.
Pay off my car in full: Check.
Alright. I dood it.
So I'm going to go into 2025 with the following:
- Find a job or alternative source of stable income.
- Spend some time pursuing an alternative source anyway (art, streaming, etc.)
- Write more often.
Have a not as shitty as the last new year everybody.
Get out of Las Vegas: Check.
Get a State ID and license plates after leaving Las Vegas: Check.
Pay off my car in full: Check.
Alright. I dood it.
So I'm going to go into 2025 with the following:
- Find a job or alternative source of stable income.
- Spend some time pursuing an alternative source anyway (art, streaming, etc.)
- Write more often.
Have a not as shitty as the last new year everybody.
If I've blocked you...
Posted 10 months ago...you may safely assume it's because you've done one of the following.
#1: Blocked me.
It's only fair, if you're going to put me on block (especially without any explanation), that I do the same. With all that's happened on F.A., few things still get under my skin more than that one artist who sent me a PM gloating that they could still comment on my gallery but I could no longer comment on theirs.
On a related note, I know it's childish to leave a comment right before you block someone, but I always do it anyway because I believe even the biggest douche in Douchebagistan deserves to know exactly when and how they crossed the line, regardless of whether they will use that knowledge for good or evil in the future. The whole reason I was even inspired at all to write this journal is because two artists I'd been following (one for quite some time) recently put me on block and I only found out when I tried to fave two of their new submissions. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but if they thought so little of it that they could do it without a word, it was probably something really stupid so good riddance to them.
#2: Trolled or shitposted.
This is the one and only time I will block someone based on their gallery submissions. There are a lot of things I don't like on F.A., but blocking the artists who produce it won't stop it from showing up whenever I use the search bar. I may stop following you if you're really into things I personally can't stomach, but it'll only be if you're weaponizing said content for the purpose of trolling or shitposting that I will block you for it.
#3: Been on the list of watchers of a dedicated shitposter.
If you're following an artist who I personally consider to be a piece of shit for any of the reasons listed here, I can hold my tongue about it. But if somebody has a gallery that is nothing but raging Nazi bullshit drawn with stick figures, I will judge you for looking at it and thinking "Awesome! I want to be notified when there's more of this ASAP!"
Most of the people on my block list were followers of an alt-right troll who has since been banned, who made a long list of enemies by attempting to goad anyone who didn't share his perverted values into something he could use to weaponize the ticket system, and whose gallery was absolutely nothing but bad photoshops of Pepe the Frog spewing racial slurs while he murdered or shit on the faces of stick figures identified as SJWs. If that's what you want in your updates, you're just as much a piece of shit as he was.
#4: Been out and proud about, or tried to excuse, your support for the fat orange demon.
As I'm sure all of your family, neighbors and former friends who now refuse to speak to you have told you already, it's not about politics, it's about basic fucking humanity. That piece of shit ran a campaign that was 100% about vilifying the "others" in this country and promising to make them suffer. So if you were willing to overlook the fact that he is a fascist, a traitor, an insurrectionist, a fraud, a thief, a pathological liar, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a malignant narcissist, a Nazi lover, a blithering idiot, and a pathetic loser in every conceivable way possible, all because something about that message really resonated with you, you are a fucking monster, and a lifetime of isolation and loneliness is the absolute least you deserve.
#5: Openly expressed your support for the "new rules" user purges, or thrown a tantrum after the admins dialed them back.
If you were butt-hurt about hundreds, maybe thousands of F.A. users, including myself, not having their accounts suspended just because you didn't like the content they had in their galleries, and were to such a degree that you made a journal, comment or submission to vent your anger about us continuing to have F.A. accounts, you don't get to continue to have access to said accounts and pretend nothing happened. You quite literally wanted us kicked off of this platform, and did so to the point that you were willing to ally yourself with trolls who opened lurker accounts for the sole purpose of abusing the ticket system as revenge for all of us getting their Nazi shitposting accounts suspended.
To be clear, this is not a condemnation of anyone who does not like the content that was targeted. I unfollowed a few people who expressed their dislike of the content (mostly just so I wouldn't constantly see their open-for-commissions reminders), but only blocked the people who lashed out at the admins for not completely purging it.
#6: Very publicly gotten a bee up your ass because someone else had a different preference or interpretation.
I like nonfatal vore. Others like fatal vore. That's fine. But if somebody draws ambiguous vore, I leave a comment indicating that I like it with a nonfatal interpretation, and you respond "NO!!! IT'S FATAL VORE!!! YOU ARE WROOOOOOOONG!!!", that's a you problem.
#7: Deliberately set off a drama bomb.
Has there ever been a users' vore tournament that even got finished before it devolved into a great big drama explosion, with everyone who got eliminated early falling into depression because they feel like everybody hates them and all of the finalists getting accused of cheating by using fake accounts to vote?
No there has not. So if you try to start a new one, don't act offended when I remind you of what's happened every single time it's been done in the past, or surprised that I blocked you if you responded by telling me to fuck off and/or that you don't care -- you're going to do it anyway.
#8: Being a blatant and/or pathological liar.
I can accept that 100% truthfulness is incredibly difficult, and in a community where everyone is encouraged to keep their IRL private to the point that we all present ourselves as a completely different species than what they are IRL, it's practically expected. I'll admit I've done it. When I had to deal with that stalker asshole from WND, I was deliberately misleading about what company I was working for so he couldn't try to get me fired, call in a bomb threat or whatever other sick shit he might've been willing to do.
But there's a fine line between lies like "I just turned 40," "I've got gout," or "I used to be in a marching band," and lies like "I just turned 18," "I've got cancer," or "I used to be in the army."
But the ones that get me the most, and which are somehow the most prevalent on F.A., are the really blatant zero-percent-chance-of-this-working lies. Like when somebody tries to lie about things that I did... TO ME! Or when they're lying about something that's on the public record -- when you can literally post a link -- or even scroll up and copy/paste something from the exact same page as the lie -- to prove that it is a lie. If you're that bad of a liar, either you're a narcissist who thinks everyone else is catastrophically dumb, or you have some kind of brain problem that outright compels you to lie whenever possible. Either way, there's nothing I can do about it except make sure my account is one less place where you can perpetuate your problem.
#9: Spammed PMs with it being abundantly clear that you don't care.
There are a couple of people who send me PMs once a month just to ask how I'm doing. Let me be clear right away: These people are not the problem.
But there was another person, for example, who PM'd me asking if I was available to do an art request. I PM'd him back informing him, not only that I do not do requests, but that I do not even do art -- all of my art submissions are reposts from real artists. Which already irked me because I make it a point to credit the actual artist and link to the original, ergo he clearly hadn't been reading the descriptions. But I thought "Meh, probably an honest mistake" and forgot about it...
Until he sent me another PM asking if I would do a request. And another. And another. And is probably still trying to send me them routinely to this day, followed by yelling at his computer "Why am I blocked?!!"
We are not NPCs in a video game. These words were all typed out and submitted by a carbon-based life form just like you. If you can't fathom, or refuse to acknowledge that, that's a serious you problem.
#10: Blatant hypocrisy.
Somebody once posted artwork of two characters sitting on the couch snickering while they huffed a bong. I thought it looked a lot like Beavis & Butthead and posted a quote. They responded with a very lengthy condemnation for "putting words in my characters' mouths."
Just one problem: Only one of the two characters was an OC. The other was from a very well-known franchise. Meaning they lashed out at me for doing something in jest that they had already done for themselves quite seriously. And they got quite pissy about me pointing out the blatant double standard too.
Entitlement is a brain problem I can't deal with any more than pathological lying. Once again, the only way I can help a person deal with their belief that the rules -- especially the ones they themselves invented -- do not apply to them personally is to give them an "exercise in denial" by not letting them do shit on my gallery no matter how much they want to.
That is all. There may be others who wound up on my block list for more uniquely specific reasons, but for the most part, those are the reasons.
#1: Blocked me.
It's only fair, if you're going to put me on block (especially without any explanation), that I do the same.

BlueSky
Posted 11 months agoYup. One of the biggest curmudgeons in all of Curmudgistan when it comes to social media just got a BlueSky.
https://bsky.app/profile/terastas.bsky.social
Suck it, Elon.
I probably won't use it much, but if you're an artist or content creator, I'll gladly boost your profile that little extra bit with a follow if you link to yours in the comments or give me a follow too.

I'm feeling a little better going forward...
Posted 11 months agoMostly because Trump has already made it abundantly clear that he never had any intention of doing ANYTHING as President other than keeping his pasty fat ass out of prison, and is already subcontracting all of his duties as president to his campaign surrogates.
And it is at this point that I would like to remind everyone what happened to Steve Bannon when he was in the White House.
He wasn't kicked out because he said or did anything of which Trump disapproved. He was kicked out because Trump's ego couldn't handle it when people started jokingly referring to him as "President Bannon."
So, would you like to completely dismantle this incoming administration, maybe before it's even inaugurated? If so, repeat after me:
"President Musk."
"President Kennedy."
"President Vance."
"President Howell."
Etc.
All his life, Trump has wanted all of the accolades without doing any of the work. He bragged about his athletic prowess at the same time he couldn't serve in the military because of bone spurs, called up Forbes to get himself on the billionaire list while his casino was filing for bankruptcy, showed up for donor galas hosted by charities to which he never donated a penny, had to be told four years in a row that he could not give the Medal of Honor to himself, etc., etc., etc.
And this extended to his first presidency too. Were it not for Roe v. Wade and the pandemic, Trump's biggest claim to fame would have been demanding they put his face on Mt. Rushmore before teeing off.
This next incoming presidency has the potential to be incredibly destructive, but we can keep it neutered until the midterms (when, hopefully, Democratic super-majorities will win both houses and impeach him for a third time) by constantly targeting his malignant narcissism.
Trump doesn't want to do any of the work because it's not all about himself. But he also can't stand to see the people to whom the work was subcontracted get credit for the work.
So as much as you may want to blame Trump for everything: Don't. Never give him the credit, because that's what will hurt him the most. Reserve all of your anger and animosity for the people Trump leaves in charge (and don't forget to refer to them as "President") until Trump can't stand it anymore and fires them.
EDIT: Oh, and since the MAGA vermin couldn't even make it to the weekend before showing their true colors, I'd like to offer the following additional advice:
#1: If you are a woman and someone tells you "Your body, MY choice," respond "Your body, my shovel."
#2: If you are black and someone tells you to "report for slave duty," ask if you would like them to bring your gun or your aluminum baseball bat.
And it is at this point that I would like to remind everyone what happened to Steve Bannon when he was in the White House.

One day, people will ask us...
Posted 11 months ago...why are there so few people in America with birthdays between 2025 and 2029?
And I will tell them: Well, first millions of Americans decided that lying about a deadly pandemic and getting a million Americans killed, attempting to defraud the country's election, staging a violent coup, stealing classified documents, etc., were all forgivable just as long as he still had the ® next to his name whenever he appeared on TV.
For that reason, those of us on the left rightly decided that the country was no longer a safe place to try to start and raise a family and declined to do so.
And when he was sworn in, that evil thing gave control of HHS in its entirety to an anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist who banned, among so many other modern medicines, all vaccines. So, inevitably, there was another deadly pandemic, and that caused the majority of the children born to that evil thing's enablers to die.
Now, for the record, I don't believe, as of my writing this, that this is over. We don't have official election results from the states -- we have reporting from the AP. And the AP wasn't even subtle about their intent to call this election for that evil thing as soon as possible (seriously, they called states for Trump when their total votes reported were still at 0%, a courtesy they never once extended to Harris).
So I will not believe this is over until I see the actual official results, and even then I'll take it with a grain of salt on account of all the fishy bullshit Team Trump was clearly up to.
But honestly, it shouldn't have come anywhere close to this. It will forever taint my opinion of America, if not all of humanity, that there were even enough Trump voters for there to have ever been any doubt.
And if you ARE one of those Trump voters, may I kindly suggest that you go fuck yourself through every hole God gave you for every single minute of what remains if your wretched worthless life.

I like chocolate. And I like pizza.
Posted a year agoBut I do not want chocolate on my pizza.
I like Bluey. And I like Hazbin Hotel. But I do not want to see Bluey do a crossover with Hazbin Hotel.
And if you can't figure out where this is going already, you're very likely part of the problem.
Yes, I have artwork featuring kids in my gallery, and I also have artwork flagged "adult" in my gallery... BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME!!!
I must have explained this thousands of times by now. Yet, once again, a number of miserable little shits have had to go onto my block list because my "General Audience" stuff made them horny and they decided that it's all my fault that their great evangelical purity has been compromised.
No, perverts! Liking both does not make me a sex criminal. Because, unlike you, the horny part of my brain has an on/off switch.
"Nuh-uh, pedo! All furry art is pervy art!"
Then why even have the tags?
I have four hundred and twenty-eight submissions in my gallery as of my writing this. Only twenty-two of them have the "Adult" tag. That means just slightly over 5% of my gallery is pornographic.
"Shut up, pedo! You like kids in vore!"
Type 'vore' into the search bar at Youtube and some of the first results you'll get will be clips from Saturday morning cartoons. The first time I commissioned vore art featuring a kid was with direct inspiration from Pelipper's Pokedex entries, which I would have thought was obvious since I quoted it in the submission's description.
"That's different! They didn't intend for it to be sexual!"
You know that for a fact? Does that mean that, if I put my exact same content on Youtube and monetized it, that would make it okay?
You can't police material by intent because you have no way of knowing what that intent is beyond the artist telling you, and even then, you have no way of knowing that the artist is being truthful when they tell you that it is or is not meant to be seen a certain way. You can only police material based on the content itself.
If you get turned on while watching Paw Patrol, that doesn't put Spin Master Entertainment at fault. And if my "General Audience" stuff turns you on, that's not on me either.
"Er... Ah... SHUT UP YOU PEDO!!!"
Are you screaming at me, or at the mirror?
Yeah, I'm done with this shit. Because the next time some miserable little shit purity troll comes at me screaming that I'm a pedo or some other kind of IRL sex criminal, all I'm going to hear is "projection, projection, projection."
They're getting horny over things they would rather not, and instead of dealing with it for themselves, they're demanding the rest of us create the largest safe space on the internet for them -- a great big cornucopia of the kind of porn that they feel okay about getting their rocks off to and absolutely nothing else.
If they had read the bedtime story from "Unicorse", this part would have been followed by the queen ordering the jester's beheading.
(groan) God I wish I could start naming names. Especially now, so soon after Dragoneer's passing. It's like they saw the horrible news and thought "Hurray! Now there will be a new site owner I can badger into banning half the users!" I already thought the purity trolls were repulsive vermin, but trying to start this shit up again while the GoFundMe notification is still up is a low I would not have even imagined before today.
So if you, after all this, are still prepared to argue that "Hur, dur, duh, all vore is porn!" or "Buh, fuh, duh, all furry art is porn!", please, don't wait. Do it right here and now so I/we can block you immediately.

You can't police material by intent because you have no way of knowing what that intent is beyond the artist telling you, and even then, you have no way of knowing that the artist is being truthful when they tell you that it is or is not meant to be seen a certain way. You can only police material based on the content itself.
If you get turned on while watching Paw Patrol, that doesn't put Spin Master Entertainment at fault. And if my "General Audience" stuff turns you on, that's not on me either.
"Er... Ah... SHUT UP YOU PEDO!!!"
Are you screaming at me, or at the mirror?
Yeah, I'm done with this shit. Because the next time some miserable little shit purity troll comes at me screaming that I'm a pedo or some other kind of IRL sex criminal, all I'm going to hear is "projection, projection, projection."
They're getting horny over things they would rather not, and instead of dealing with it for themselves, they're demanding the rest of us create the largest safe space on the internet for them -- a great big cornucopia of the kind of porn that they feel okay about getting their rocks off to and absolutely nothing else.
If they had read the bedtime story from "Unicorse", this part would have been followed by the queen ordering the jester's beheading.
(groan) God I wish I could start naming names. Especially now, so soon after Dragoneer's passing. It's like they saw the horrible news and thought "Hurray! Now there will be a new site owner I can badger into banning half the users!" I already thought the purity trolls were repulsive vermin, but trying to start this shit up again while the GoFundMe notification is still up is a low I would not have even imagined before today.
So if you, after all this, are still prepared to argue that "Hur, dur, duh, all vore is porn!" or "Buh, fuh, duh, all furry art is porn!", please, don't wait. Do it right here and now so I/we can block you immediately.
Re-plugged
Posted a year ago(sigh) Well, that sucked, but I'm glad I did it. I'm tired, I'm sore all over, I've lost fifteen pounds, and I have a rash on the inside of both of my thighs from where my legs were rubbing back and forth against my balls, but I've never been happier.
As of this moment, the only connections I have left to Las Vegas are my driver's license and my license plates. And I'm already making plans to change those too.
I wasn't originally planning to divulge where I moved to so soon after doing it, but it's resulted in a lot of quick lifestyle changes, so I might as well: I'm in Colorado now.
So far, the only thing I can say that is better in Vegas than here is the street layouts. In Vegas, just about everything is laid out in a grid, so even if you're going from one corner of town all the way to the other, you can usually give directions as "Go down ________ Street and take a left/right when you get to __________ Street." The same cannot be done here. I took more wrong turns just trying to get to a post office three miles away from here than during the entire sixteen-hour, eight-hundred-mile trek to get here from Nevada.
Other than that, everything's been an improvement. My afternoon naps are interrupted by barking dogs instead of my neighbors threatening to cap each other, there are more squirrels in the parking lot than beer cans, and nobody's even asked me for a light yet, much less screamed at me that I'm an effing liar for responding that I don't smoke.
You really learn to appreciate the little things when you've seen the absolute worst of it. And I will remain convinced for the rest of my life that Las Vegas is the worst of it.
Thank you for all the well wishes to the previous journal. Glad to be back.

Unplugging
Posted a year agoOn the morning of July 21st, I will be unplugging and packing up my computer to do something I have dreamed of doing for over a decade: Move out of Las Vegas.
The downside is that, based on the way things are coming together, I will not be able to plug back into the internet until July 24th at the very earliest.
So if you're trying to get in touch with me and I don't respond, this is why. And if I continue to not respond after the 24th, please assume that it's because I have run into a snag trying to get reconnected at my new place and do not take it personally.

Why I'm always reluctant to Patreon
Posted a year agoTalented artist: "New promotional exclusively on X."
Me: "Hm. Not at all a fan of X, but I guess it couldn't hurt to give it a l-"
Artist: "Release the J6 hostages!" "Death to the libtards!" "Jews are ruining the country!" "Sandy Hook was a hoax!" "N*****-N*****-N*****!!!"
(long awkward pause)
Me:
Artist blocked... Favorites removed... And a little prayer said in thanks that this occurred before I subscribed to their Patreon.
And no, I'm not giving any more hints as to who the artist is (I'm already concerned I may have said too much as it is). Not that you need one since this shit is all out in the open.

Vehicle break-in
Posted a year agoAccording to one of my neighbors, a guy in a hoodie (In 115F heat? Yeah, nothing strange about that) approached my vehicle, smashed one of the back windows and ran off.
Thanks Las Vegas! With only two weeks left in this town, I was afraid I wouldn't hate you enough before then!
The good news is that, yes, I am indeed leaving. On the 21st, I'll be making an overnight trip to arrive at my new residency the following morning.
Half the reason for this journal was to vent while I wait for the police report from the most worthless police force on the whole freakin' planet to show to my insurance provider so I can hopefully get this window fixed before my departure date.
The other half was to give everybody advance warning that, only July 21st, I'm going to be disconnecting from the internet and do not know if I will be able to get it reconnected at my new address right away. So if you try to contact me at all after that date and I do not respond in a timely fashion, it's nothing personal -- just assume I am still not reconnected and will get back to you ASAP.
God I hate this fucking town! I know there's crime everywhere, but I'm pretty sure only Las Vegas has a police force that will tell you straight to your face that they don't give a shit.

Hot rodent men
Posted a year agoNo, it's not clickbait. But unfortunately, it's not the reason you clicked either.
3:30 if the time stamp didn't work.
And I call bullshit. We've had hot rodent men long before Hollywood, and that is not even remotely what that means.
(sigh) Well, as long as you're here... Favorite hot rodent man?
