🌱 my site list for folks
General | Posted 2 years agohttps://ulurifox.wixsite.com/uluri/site-list
:3 vague rules are vague and subjective. I'm a small feral, with small feral nsfw art of my sona and a larger partner, and is an artist who draws cute, n occasionally feral Pokemon.
So yeah, for those who are planning on following artists on other platforms just in case, here is a list of my active art sites.

🌱Morning, just rambling
General | Posted 2 years agoGood morning, I'm just rambling today. I've been doing a lot of my Character Asks since I got my Com list finished. I really think I need to do some personal work right now. Well, I have been actually. It's just that a lot of them are Therapy related and probably will never see the light of day. Gosh, I can't express how much it bugs me to make art, but not share it. Ahhh, but I think that a lot of them aren't for sharing. (I'll have to eventually take more Coms for the cats' supplies (still stocked up for a bit), but I really need art for myself right now)
The colored Text have been actually helping me out, so I'll def keep this up. Sometimes forgets about it while making comment replies though. I think I'm def going to keep doing some character asks for a while. Funnily, there's some that don't have a subject as to who their being asked to, and it's getting answers from more than just me, so I have been writing those in my journal for my "homework" for myself. I said "my" too many times and it started sounding weird.
RANDOM. I don't like Pineapple flavors, I absolutely hate Canned Pineapple. Fresh Pineapple, though, is very tasty.
I forget what I was writing. [5min later] I REMEMBER! Personal Art! I'm not going to post it probably, but I'm making a 2 min animation vent for myself. I heard a music a while ago, and it wouldn't stop until I drew, so I Sketched up everything. I plan to draw each scenery in a different way that feels correct for it. I feel like it'd be something that carves a pit into someone's stomach the longer it plays with how I plant to draw it. It's going to be very in the moment. But I won't be posting it mostly because there's some folks around irl I'd rather not want them to watch.

🌱Important: Blue Uluri and Green Uluri
General | Posted 2 years agoHiya Guys! Got some news here.
Part 1: Colors: Who's talking?
█ Uluri
█ "Puppy" [Bluluri]
█ Sin
█ Kindling
█ Reji
New Character Text Colors update. And also, from here on I'll be coloring my text Orange always. Orange is Uluri. And also above are Other colors to help distinguish who's responding. Less confusing. (Sadly this won't work on sites that don't do color. boo. color text superiour)
Part 2 Blue Uluri
I'm going to be using the Blue Uluri color pallet in some art, not as my main, but for "Sleep Uluri" now known as "Puppy" because I learned that that's not just me sleepwalking recently (Yay therapy.) i decided to give Puppy my Blue Color Palletto use, because it felt correct. Since "We look really similar" but aren't the same it makes sense to me. (And also it reminds Puppy of their Toothbrush). So say hi to Puppy. I'll be drawing for them every so often.
Green Uluri is safe XD That's still me Orange Uluri is the green one.
EDIT: Updated Dark Blue and Orange

🌱 Yay Sketches for Comic
General | Posted 2 years agoI have been having soooo much trouble With drawing this year. I've been wanting to draw for A Simple Minded Spirit for soooo long, but haven't been sure about what sort of story I should draw to start with. I think the best one to start with includes a lot of bees. I sketched a few small this's and thats to try to get some ideas down.

🌱General Rambling Update Maybe
General | Posted 2 years agoHeya, been a bit since I talked about anything. A Lot has been underway irl, after all. SO, I haven't had much time to wander about in the art communities.
:3 I'm about to be moving soon-ish. It's gonna be a super big step in my life. Finally, a house. Like, a nice, safe, not full of holes in the floor house. It's taking a lot longer than we thought, but things are moving along at least. I'm excited to have more room for our cats to run around and play, and to have my own room instead of have my lappy in the livingroom. ✨u ✨
Medical: There is a shit ton of things going on in this field. XD Almost at getting a diagnosis for my sad foot problem. Just need to get shipped to the correct doctor to confirm it. To say I'm sick of having to go to the hospital is an understatement. Every time I go and hear someone cough next to me at a hospital I get a panic attack because of covid still.
Mental: It's chaos atm. along with the moving and medical stress, there's some family stuff going on that's getting a bit hard. I'm still Having a bit of trouble getting the motivation to do art. Which is trully annoiying. Brain, lemmie draw. What are you doing? Give me my MP back, and get rid of this Debuff called art block. -shuffles in chair upset-
THE CATS: They're all doing good. I just discovered that Cajun's tail is short not because its short but because the tip is missing. I guess something got his tail before we got the kittens. He's fine, though. They eat so much food. Like lots more than Baby and Cabbage ever did. They're hungry bugs. They also learned from Cabbage to steal socks. Absolute fellons. They go into our drawers and steal out clothes. XD

🌱Good Foot News finally
General | Posted 3 years agoThe saga of medical tests that has continued for the last half year for my gosh darn frikken foot is finally showing results! I was able to finally get an mri after every other test came back with literally nothing. Something showed up! Something FINALLY showed up! AAAAAAAAAAAAAa!!!!
So, my foot pain. My super sad foot pain. If I am reading my info correctly, I have cysts in my toes! And I'm also on my way to probably getting a raynaud's syndrome diagnosis. Why the hell does it take so frikken long for results when 1) I asked about Raynauds the first day and 2) I asked for the MRI a lot earlier.
I gotta say, finally seeing a test with an actual result on it is such a nice thing for me right now. I'm so sick of having to keep saying "THIS hurts HERE, please find the cause so it can be fixed."
y back is a forever problem, though. it's.... degenerating and stuff. Sad back will be forever sad, I just gotta do more stretches to aleviate that a bit.
Next up, try to get doctors to believe my Frikken jaw under my ear is in pain, I have every symptom for TMJ, my ear doctor Suggested it, I can't get to the dentist until August, and the family doctor Thinks it's my teeth hurting even though i kept telling them it's Not my frikken teeth it's my JAW BONE. Of COURSE it hurts when I bite down more that's MORE PREASSURE im exerting. i haven't been able to frikken eat anything remotely crunchy without pain for a week now. Took me 40 minutes to eat 20 frenchfries I was given.
Ima go lay in the bathtub now and relax.

🌱 WHat Mastodon instance do you use?
General | Posted 3 years agoCurious, because it seems some are just hard to find searching only, rather needing to finding someone who already uses one. So I have no idea which ones would be ones I'd want to plop down an account initially. I haven't made one yet because im not sure where to initially plop an account to add to my postybirb posting.
edit: X) Perhaps not including any vore or hyper-bodypart focused ones. Probably shouldn've wrote that here, my bad.

General | Posted 3 years ago*big sigh
You know, I'll just delete the previous journal because too many folks were just creating a big anxiety pit of a topic (or sounding like they wanted to cause discourse or argue??? not sure) when all I was trying to do was be helpful to people who were thinking their Eevee Lewds needed to be deleted or they'd be banned. So I asked staff to clarify. Hope that's simple enough to understand instead of the other journal.
Answer: Pokemon lewds are fine on FA. A new mod just made some mistakes and there were some false strikes. End of story.
I was just concerned about the rather large amount of artists mass deleting ALL their pokemon art without actual clarification of the situation and just going off rumors, maybes, and what ifs. My notifications were being flooded with these journals. I was getting pretty tired of it. Thought I'd get some answers and share my findings. Jeeze. Send a Trouble Ticket if you have something to ask or say about FA's own rules. Not me. They can Clarify whatever question you have about their own site for you, so ask your questions to them just like i did.

🌱Art Recap Video is now Up! ^_^
General | Posted 3 years ago🌱My Cats have Talk Buttons
General | Posted 3 years agoI gave my cats Talking buttons. For the past two months we've been giving them a few at a time to learn. It has been the most absolute fun. I initially got them so that they could tell me basic needs they want along with my dog instead of being destructive or climbing to get what they want. My cat, Raph, though, has been excelling at learning and using these buttons.
The first buttons I gave were Hungry and Pets. Both were learned relatively fast for what meaning they had. We had some basic "I'm hungry! feed me" and "Give me pets!" After a while i noticed they were starting to use BOTH buttons to try to get playful attention, so We added in the button PLAY. AT this time we also gave Remo two buttons of "Thirsty" and "Outside" because the cats sometimes drink all his water in his bowl and he has a hard time informing us as he uses the same whine for EVERYTHING.
So, here we are with the newly installed "Play" button. I showed them the button, and then we got out some Cat Fishing rods when it was pressed. THE DAY OF Raph understood what that button meant. He stopped using the hungry and pets button for "I'm bored" and started clicking play. What was even more suprising is that he has been pressing the buttons for his siblings lately, too. XD He's supposed to let the others, but the other guys are kinda not as fast on the uptake and he started doing it himself. He's press "Play" and stare at Matty, so I'd get the toy out. WIggling in front of him, no response, go to matty and Matty just goes wild.
Conversation with Raph that happened when i saw he understood the Play button.
Raph: HUNGRY
Me: You're not hungry, you're bored
Raph: PLAY!
YES THAT's RIGHT, You're Bored!!!! Play raph! Play!
Right now we have Added the ability for them to argue with us by giving them "Yes n No" buttons. We've also added "Laser" if they want to play with the red dot instead of the wigglies. My gosh, because we've been saying Yes and No to things, Raph already picked up the day of these buttons. This guy gots the big brains. We were actually expecting Serra to have the big brain, but Raph came out of left field with all the brain cells. (And as expected, Matty is still box of rock shaking around in his noggin. he's a bit impossible to teach)
Raph Using the buttons today
Raph: Play, Laser
Me: -very excited happy face- YES I'll play with the laser!
We played with the red dot for a while. Was fun.
First Argument with my Cat
Raph: Hungry, Yes (He ate already an hour ago)
Me: no
Raph: yes, yes
Me: No... No hungry =.=;
Raph: Yes. -looks me dead in the eye-

- Got a little bit of ideas where to go. Thanks
General | Posted 3 years agoHi, I'd like some advice. I had a lower back injury in 2019. It still hurts. It sucks to sit and exist. Like always at a general painscale of 6/10 when I sit. How can I sit down and not feel in as much pain? What kind of butt cushions am I looking for my rump? Or any other advice from folks who also got some back pain.
Advice other than nagging at doctors who don't take me seriously when I say minimum 6/10 daily pain just because I'm saying it with a straight face. ((Seriously, do they want me to cry and say ow everytime I'm hurt? I wouldn't have a voice and my tear ducts would have shriveled. Having to say when I'm in pain constantly gets old as hell fast.))

🌱 huehe glad my banner fits
General | Posted 3 years agoGlad it fits in both PC and mobile layouts. The cropping for mobile is left aligned. That really makes it easier for me to determine where to put the most important stuff. I pre-made my banner real quick beforehand, so happy to see it fits with a left aligned crop. I made it originally for either left or center aligned n I'm glad I did.

🌱 Dreams: Dream me is sick I guess
General | Posted 3 years agoI have been having a lot of dreams [not good ones] lately. Last night i had one of those "at school in the nude" dreams, but Dream me was also sick and was passing out in my own dreams. Dream me has been kinda looking more and more sick this past week. I wonder if there is a way for me to help dream me feel better. I don't think it's good for Dream me to be passing out under a gym bench near naked and super dizzy.

🌱Dream Journal Time!
General | Posted 3 years agoI had an abrupt awakening this morning. I was having one of those dreams that are months long, so it was to the point where it was indistinguishable from reality. Having been in my dream so long, this was life. However, I woke up because one of the NPCs said "Yes, this is the human thing to do." and every red flag that my life was in danger went off. I panic woke up because I was afraid of the NPC.
Like, red flashing alarms and little Ba-ding exclamations going over every instant of Not Human this guy was. Danger, don't get near. Danger he's fake. Run. Leave. Get away. Something's wrong here. He's not safe. Wake up.

🌱Check yer DA logged in and Logged out
General | Posted 3 years ago:3 Want some other horrendous knowledge about something DA is doing right now? If you have a DA, Look at your Gallery in both a Logged in tab and a Logged out/incognito tab right next to each other. They're locking seemingly random artworks behind an 18+ filter to become "advertiser friendly". And what I mean by seemingly random, i mean it looks like it's focusing the colors tan through brown (Flesh tones), things sort of shaped like women, and things that if you squint your eyes hard enough might look like the outline of a penis shape (like how victini is penis shaped).
DA staff confirmed to me that
#1, it's not a glitch, but on purpose
#2 They "can't fix it"
#3 they'll talk about this later and not now
#4 They're doing this to become advertiser friendly
They did not deny (nor confirm) the parameters of tan through brown and shaped like women.
They DID deny that the censor occurs based on links in descriptions.
Again, this is random artwork being locked behind a separate 18+ filter that is not controlled by your own mature tag you set when you upload. Art like my Leafeon, Minecraft fanart, Uluri waving hi at the screen in front of a bunch of snacks, carrying a block of minecraft dirt, I've seen peoples literal German shepherd ref sheets of a Regular dog locked behind 18+ (and other brown colored canines), Lots of Eevee and Poochyena fanart for some reason being hit, lots of linearts, Female characters (clothed even, both furry and nonfurry), Just a cat lineart, and so so many more. Oh and Goodra. DA doesn't like Goodra either.

General | Posted 3 years agoIt's one of those "I've stood in the shower too long" thoughts. So, get ready for my rambling thoughts.
I feel like art sites and notifications tend to have an unhealthy relationship. Not just from myself personally, but from how other people treat them as well. I think I noticed it in others before I noticed it in myself. I think a lot of notification systems i've experienced on art sites are not the best for mental health.
The urge to "Clean" notifications instead of leisurely view the content.
This one is one I noticed in others before I noticed how it affected myself first. People always talking about how they either have to keep their notifications at 0 or let it run up in size and stress over the amount of submissions they have to go through to get it down to 0. It hit me really hard today when the site [Itaku] implimented a notifiactions feature for submissions from folks i watch that it didn't have before. When I would go to this site previously, I would just hit my feed up and browse. This week since it's been implimented, I have had submission notifications and instead of viewing them I would go to clear my Notifications to "Clean" it. I didn't go to that feed to view art, i went there to clean a notification, and thus making viewing said art a chore.
I've felt this from artsites like DeviantArt, FurAffinity, Weasyl, etc too, but not to the realization of how this mindset effects how I interact with the artists I am following on all these artsites until I felt inconvenienced by this feature being added to itaku. On FA I just don't look at my submissions notifs anymore because I have at least 1500 at any given time over there. I often just let it get up to 10k, look at the first page, and nuke them so the number is 0 for a few minutes. I don't think that's a healthy relationship between me and the content i want to enjoy.
The Impending weight of Worth based on Fav counts.
Artists tend to have low self esteem. I can't tell you how many journals I read each month about an artist feeling like they aren't good enough or that they'll never be this or that. Along with those conversation often comes up the theme of Fav counts or view counts. A lot of artists have a very unhealthy relationship with Favs. It's always been a notif I don't particularly like to care about and thought a bit of an anoiying notif, but I always see how much people use their fav count to tear and break themselves down. I've even had to unwatch an artist before because they become so obsessed with their fav count that they only ever talked about or complained about it.
"People don't like my art anymore, i only got x favs this week" "I must be a shitty artist, no one likes my art" "Why did X get this many favs by Y get none? I worked harder on that." "I'll never be as good as Z artist, they get way more attention than me". "I don't want to get stuck drawing fanart/nsfw because it gets more favs/views." That sort of mindset based around those stats is so commonly plaguing creators that it is nearly unbearable to listen to once they get hyper obsessed about it.
This interaction with favs is like.... one of the most unhealthy things in the art community. I'm glad I don't feel the same way, and just think the notification blip is annoiying, but also at the same time I wish that Favs were a notif that can be turned off. So far only Inkbunny can turn the fav notif off, and that mostly helps with the "must clean notif dot" mindset for me, but I think it'd be good for artists with this unhealthy obsession with worth based on favs a little bit if such a thing was implimented on other sites. Honestly, I kinda feel that a fav notif should be opt-in because of how badly obsessed people get about it. or like... a notif not even existing. I think a notif not existing would be better so that its a silent stat like views.
I dunno, i kinda think the relationship between notifications and the users needs to be looked at a bit more. How obsessed do you get over your own notifs and how often do you also see other people struggling?

🌱Ear infection Conclusion
General | Posted 3 years agoMy body has healed the ear infection, and all that I have left is some jaw inflammation to manage. Finally! I'm glad that my ear is healed. Also glad that I can hear out of that ear just fine again. Good job body. you did it.
Now I can focus on the Foot appointments. I Got the zappy zap test scheduled aaaaallll the way at the end of the year, so there won't be any news on that for a very long time. Not until next year. That's so long. But eh, its scheduled so that's what matters. The phone clerks were rude, though. I had to call three times, i left 2 messages, waited nearly two weeks, and the third call they already knew who i was and what i was calling for. WHY didn't you get Back to me then?!
So yeah, have a good day. Thanks for following along the medical misadventures of Uluri's health.
